Operating Results

Operating revenue (net interest income before provision for loan losses, plus non-interest income excluding gains or losses on the sale of investment securities and other than temporary impairment [“OTTI”] charges on investment securities) increased 16% to $10.21 million for the current quarter from $8.78 million for the comparable quarter one year ago and decreased slightly from $10.23 million for the preceding quarter.  Operating revenue increased 16% to $20.44 million for the first six months of fiscal 2016 from $17.56 million for the comparable period one year ago.

Net interest income increased 17% to $7.67 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2016, from $6.57 million for the second fiscal quarter one year ago and decreased by less than 1% from $7.71 million for the preceding quarter.  Net interest income was increased during the current quarter by the collection of $189,000 in pre-payment penalties on three loans that paid off and the collection of $46,000 of non-accrual interest.  The net interest margin for the current quarter was 3.92% compared to 4.00% for the preceding quarter and 3.69% for the second fiscal quarter one year ago.  The collection of pre-payment penalties and non-accrual interest added approximately 12 basis points to the net interest margin for the current quarter, while for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the collection of $475,000 of non-accrual interest added approximately 25 basis points to the net interest margin.  For the first six months of fiscal 2016, net interest income increased 16% to $15.38 million from $13.27 million for the first six months of fiscal 2015. Timberland’s net interest margin for the first six months of fiscal 2016 increased to 3.96% from 3.78% for the first six months of fiscal 2015.

Non-interest income increased 14% to $2.51 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, from $2.21 million for the comparable quarter one year ago and decreased slightly from $2.52 million in the preceding quarter.  During the current quarter, service charges on deposits totaled $937,000, ATM and debit card interchange transaction fee income increased to $710,000 and the gain on sale of loans totaled $393,000.  Fiscal year-to-date non-interest income increased 16% to $5.03 million from $4.34 million for the first six months of fiscal 2015.

Total operating (non-interest) expenses decreased slightly to $6.63 million for the second fiscal quarter, from $6.65 million for the comparable quarter one year ago and increased 2% from $6.48 million for the preceding quarter.  The increased expenses for the current quarter compared to the preceding quarter were primarily due to a $66,000 increase in loan administration and foreclosure expense, a $62,000 increase in deposit operations expense and smaller increases in several other categories.  The increase in loan administration and foreclosure expense in the current quarter was primarily a result of a recovery of expenses in the December 31, 2015 quarter that affected the quarterly comparison by reducing the expense for that quarter.  The increase in deposit operations expense was primarily due to additional expenses associated with the Bank’s debit card rewards program and other deposit acquisition initiatives.  Fiscal year-to-date operating expenses increased 1% to $13.11 million from $12.93 million for the first six months of fiscal 2015.  The efficiency ratio for the first six months of fiscal 2016 improved to 64.21% from 75.78% for the first six months of fiscal 2015.

The provision for income taxes decreased $46,000 to $1.18 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, from $1.22 million for the preceding quarter, primarily due to lower income before income taxes.  The effective tax rate was 33.1% for the current quarter compared to 32.6% for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. 

Balance Sheet Management

Total assets increased $14.58 million, or 2%, to $851.96 million at March 31, 2016, from $837.38 million at December 31, 2015.  The increase was primarily due to a $16.43 million increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $1.66 million increase in CDs held for investment.  These increases were partially offset by a $2.21 million decrease in other real estate owned (“OREO”) and other repossessed assets and a $1.69 million decrease in net loans receivable.  The increase in total assets was funded primarily by a $14.27 million increase in total deposits.

Liquidity as measured by cash and cash equivalents, CDs held for investment and available for sale investments securities was 21.6% of total liabilities at March 31, 2016, compared to 19.5% at December 31, 2015 and 18.2% one year ago. 

Net loans receivable decreased $1.69 million, or less than 1%, to $622.85 million at March 31, 2016, from $624.54 million at December 31, 2015.  The decrease was primarily due to a $5.31 million decrease in multi-family loans, a $4.78 million decrease in commercial real estate loans and a $936,000 decrease in land loans.  These decreases to net loans receivable were partially offset by a $2.47 million increase in commercial business loans, a $1.96 million increase in custom and owner/builder construction loans, a $1.08 million increase in consumer loans and a $3.13 million decrease in the undisbursed portion of construction loans in process.

Total deposits increased $14.27 million, or 2%, to $712.04 million at March 31, 2016, from $697.77 million at December 31, 2015.  The increase was primarily due to a $6.70 million increase in non-interest bearing account balances, a $4.99 million increase in saving account balances, a $2.28 million increase in money market account balances and a $2.11 million increase in N.O.W. checking account balances.  These increases were partially offset by a $1.80 million decrease in certificates of deposit account balances.  

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity increased $1.21 million to $92.26 million at March 31, 2016, from $91.05 million at December 31, 2015.  The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily due to net income of $2.38 million for the quarter, which was partially offset by share repurchases of $820,000 and dividend payments of $560,000 to shareholders.  Book value per share increased to $13.31 and tangible book value per share increased to $12.49 at March 31, 2016.

Timberland remains well capitalized with a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.46%, a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 10.56% and a tangible capital to tangible assets ratio of 10.23% at March 31, 2016.

There was no provision for loan losses made for the quarters ended March 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015. There was a net recovery for the current quarter of $154,000 compared to net charge-offs of $35,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 and a net recovery of $60,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.  The non-performing assets to total assets ratio improved to 1.16% at March 31, 2016 from 1.63% three months earlier and 2.55% one year ago.  The allowance for loan losses was 1.59% of loans receivable at March 31, 2016.
