Timberland Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)  Basis of Presentation:  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for Timberland Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Timberland Bank (the "Bank") were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. However, all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim consolidated financial statements have been included.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 20182019 (“20182019 Form 10-K”).  The unaudited consolidated results of operations for the ninethree months ended June 30,December 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 2019.2020.

On October 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of South Sound Bank, a Washington-state chartered bank, headquartered in Olympia, Washington ("South Sound Merger"Acquisition"). The Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of South Sound Bank, and South Sound Bank was merged into the Bank. See Note 2 for additional information on the South Sound Merger.Acquisition.

(b)  Principles of Consolidation:  The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank, and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Timberland Service Corporation.   All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

(c)  Operating Segment:  The Company has one reportable operating segment which is defined as community banking in western Washington.

(d)  The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the consolidated balance sheets, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(e)  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the June 30,December 31, 2019 presentation with no change to previously reported net income or total shareholders’ equity.


(2) BUSINESS COMBINATION

On October 1, 2018, the Company completed the South Sound Merger and South Sound Bank was merged into the Bank.Acquisition. The primary reason for the acquisition was to expand the Company's presence along Washington State's economically important I-5 corridor.

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, South Sound Bank shareholders received 0.746 of a share the Company's common stock and $5.68825 in cash per share of South Sound Bank common stock. The Company issued 904,826 shares of its common stock (valued at $28.27 million based on the Company's closing stock price on September 30, 2018 of $31.24 per share) and paid $6.90 million in cash in the transaction for total consideration paid of $35.17 million.

The South Sound MergerAcquisition constitutes a business combination as defined by GAAP, which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company was considered the acquirer in this transaction. Accordingly, the preliminary estimates of fair values of the acquired assets, including the identifiable intangible assets, and the assumed liabilities in the South Sound MergerAcquisition were measured and recorded as of October 1, 2018. The excess of the total consideration paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill. The South Sound MergerAcquisition resulted in $9.48$9.48 million of goodwill. The goodwill arising from the transaction consists largely of the synergies and expected economies of scale from combining the operations of the Company and South Sound Bank. This goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

In most instances, determining the estimated fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities requires the Company to estimate cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and to discount those cash flows at the appropriate rate of interest. Differences may arise between contractually required payments and the expected cash flows at the acquisition date due to items such as estimated credit losses, prepayments or early withdrawal, and other factors. One of the most significant of those determinations relates to the valuation of acquired loans. For such loans, the excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is recognized as interest income over the remaining lives of the loans. In accordance with GAAP, there was no carry-over of South Sound Bank's previously established allowance for loan losses.

The following table summarizes the fair value of consideration paid, the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, and the resulting goodwill relating to the transaction:

The acquired loan portfolio was valued using Level 3 inputs (see Note 9)10) and included the use of present value techniques, including cash flow estimates and incorporated assumptions that the Company believes marketplace participants would use in estimating fair values. Credit discounts were included in the determination of the fair value of the loans acquired; therefore, an allowance for loan losses was not recorded at the acquisition date. Acquired loans are evaluated upon acquisition and classified as either purchased credit-impaired ("PCI") or purchased non-credit-impaired. PCI loans reflect credit deterioration since origination such that it is probable at acquisition that the Company will be unable to collect all contractually required payments. The Company determined that PCI loans acquired in the South Sound MergerAcquisition were insignificant.

For purchased non-credit-impaired loans, the difference between the fair value and unpaid principal balance of the loan at the acquisition date is amortized or accreted to interest income over the life of the loans. Any subsequent deterioration in credit quality is recognized by recording an allowance for loan losses.

CDI represents the future economic benefit of the potential cost savings from acquiring core deposits as part of a business combination compared to the cost of alternative funding sources. CDI is amortized to non-interest expense using an accelerated method based on an estimated runoff of related deposits over a period of ten years. CDI is evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable, with any changes in estimated useful life accounted for prospectively over the revised remaining life.


The operating results of the Company for the three and nine months ended June 30,December 31, 2019 and 2018 include the operating results produced by the net assets acquired in the South Sound MergerAcquisition since the October 1, 2018 mergeracquisition date. The table below presentsCompany

(2) Excludes certain compensation and employee benefits for management, and excludes certain other non-interest expenses that are impracticable to determine due to the integration of the operations for this merger. Also includes certain acquisition-related costs of $328,000 and $447,000, respectively, incurred by the Company for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019.

For illustrative purposes only, the following table presents certain unaudited pro forma information for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. This unaudited estimated pro forma information was calculated as if South Sound Bank had been acquiredAcquisition were commingled with the Company's financial activity and operating results as of the beginning of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018. This unaudited pro forma information combines the historical results of South Sound Bank with the Company's consolidated historical results and includes certain adjustments reflecting the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments for the respective periods. The pro forma information is not indicative of what would have occurred had the transaction occurred at the beginning of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018. The unaudited pro forma information does not consider any changes to the provision for loan losses resulting from recording loans at fair value. Additionally, the Company expects to achieve further operating cost savings and other business synergies, including revenue growth as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts that follow. As a result, actual amounts would have differed from the unaudited pro forma information presented.

During the ninethree months ended June 30,December 31, 2019, the Company incurred acquisition-related expenses of $67,000 related to the South Sound Acquisition, which are included in the data processing and telecommunications expense category in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company incurred acquisition-related expenses of $447,000 and $317,000, respectively,$64,000 related to the South Sound Merger,Acquisition, which are included in the professional fees expense category in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. South Sound Bank incurred acquisition-related expenses of $143,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 related to the South Sound Merger. These acquisition-related expenses incurred by the Company and South Sound Bank are not included in the unaudited pro forma information presented for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

The Company expects to incur additional acquisition-related expenses of approximately $450,000 in the quarter ending September 30, 2019. These expenses are related to the conversion of South Sound Bank's current core processing and ancillary information technology systems to the Company's new core processing system.

The Company has evaluated the investment securities in the above tables and has determined that the decline in their fair value is temporary.  The unrealized losses are primarily due to changes in market interest rates and spreads in the market for mortgage-related products. The fair value of these securities is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity dates and/or as the pricing spreads narrow on mortgage-related securities.  The Company has the ability and the intent to hold the investments until the fair value recovers.  Furthermore, as of June 30,December 31, 2019, management does not have the intent to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale where the estimated fair value is below the recorded value and believes that it is more likely than

not that the Company will not have to sell such securities before a recovery of cost (or recorded value if previously written down).

The Company bifurcates OTTI into (1) amounts related to credit losses which are recognized through earnings and (2) amounts related to all other factors which are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). To determine the component of the gross OTTI related to credit losses, the Company compared the amortized cost basis of the OTTI security to the present value of its revised expected cash flows, discounted using its pre-impairment yield.  The revised expected cash flow estimates for individual securities are based primarily on an analysis of default rates, prepayment speeds and third-party analytic

reports.  Significant judgment by management is required in this analysis that includes, but is not limited to, assumptions regarding the collectability of principal and interest, net of related expenses, on the underlying loans.  

The following table presents a summary of the significant inputs utilized to measure management’s estimates of the credit loss component on OTTI securities as of June 30,December 31, 2019 and 2018:

(4) GOODWILL AND CDI

Goodwill is initially recorded when the purchase price paid in a business combination exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Goodwill is presumed to have an indefinite useful life and is analyzed annually for impairment.  The Company performs an annual review during the third quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, to determine if the recorded goodwill is impaired. For purposes of goodwill impairment testing, the services offered through the Bank and its subsidiary are managed as one strategic unit and represent the Company's only reporting unit.

The annual goodwill impairment test begins with a qualitative assessment of whether it is "more likely than not" that the reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying amount. If an entity concludes that it is not "more likely than not" that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it need not perform a two-step impairment test. If the Company's qualitative assessment concluded that it is "more likely than not" that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it must perform the two-step impairment test to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of

goodwill impairment loss to be recognized, if any. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, or the book value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit equals or exceeds its book value, goodwill is considered not impaired, and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary.

The second step, if necessary, measures the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized. The reporting unit must determine fair value for all assets and liabilities, excluding goodwill. The net of the assigned fair value of assets and liabilities is then compared to the book value of the reporting unit, and any excess book value becomes the implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the newly calculated implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount required to write-down the goodwill to the implied fair value.

Management's qualitative assessment takes into consideration macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost or margin factors, financial performance and share price of the Company's common stock. Based on this assessment, the Company determined that it is not "more likely than not" that the Company's fair value is less than its carrying amount and therefore goodwill was determined not to be impaired at May 31, 2019.

A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of goodwill impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include, among others: a significant decline in expected future cash flows; a sustained, significant decline in the

Company's stock price and market capitalization; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; adverse assessment or action by a regulator; and unanticipated competition. Any change in these indicators could have a significant negative impact on the Company's financial condition, impact the goodwill impairment analysis or cause the Company to perform a goodwill impairment analysis more frequently than once per year.

As of June 30,December 31, 2019, management believes that there have been no events or changes in the circumstances since May 31, 2019 that would indicate a potential impairment of goodwill. No assurances can be given, however, that the Company will not record an impairment loss on goodwill in the future.

The following table presents the change in the carryingrecorded amount of goodwill for the period indicated (dollars in thousands).

at December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019 remained unchanged at $15.13 million.

As of December 31, 2019, management believes that there have been no events or changes in CDI for the period indicated (dollars in thousands).

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company uses credit risk grades which reflect the Company’s assessment of a loan’s risk or loss potential.  The Company categorizes loans into risk grade categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors such as the estimated fair value of the collateral.  The Company uses the following definitions for credit risk ratings as part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of its loan portfolio:

Pass:  Pass loans are defined as those loans that meet acceptable quality underwriting standards.


Watch:  Watch loans are defined as those loans that still exhibit acceptable quality, but have some concerns that justify greater attention.  If these concerns are not corrected, a potential for further adverse categorization exists.  These concerns could relate to a specific condition peculiar to the borrower, its industry segment or the general economic environment.

Special Mention: Special mention loans are defined as those loans deemed by management to have some potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the payment prospects of the loan. 

Substandard:  Substandard loans are defined as those loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor, or of the collateral pledged.  Loans classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt.  If the weakness or weaknesses are not corrected, there is the distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained.

Loss:  Loans in this classification are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as bankable assets is not warranted.  This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this loan even though partial recovery may be realized in the future. At June 30,December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018,2019, there were no loans classified as loss.

Impaired Loans
A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts (principal and interest) when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as residential mortgage loans and consumer loans, may be collectively evaluated for impairment. When a loan has been identified as being impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured by using discounted cash flows, except when, as an alternative, the current estimated fair value of the collateral (reduced by estimated costs to sell, if applicable) or observable market price is used. The valuation of real estate collateral is subjective in nature and may be adjusted in future periods because of changes in economic conditions.  Management considers third-party appraisals, as well as independent fair market value assessments from realtors or persons involved in selling real estate, in determining the estimated fair value of particular properties.  In addition, as certain of these third-party appraisals and independent fair market value assessments are only updated periodically, changes in the values of specific properties may have occurred subsequent to the most recent appraisals.  Accordingly, the amounts of any such potential changes and any related adjustments are generally recorded at the time such information is received. When the estimated net realizable value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (including accrued interest and net deferred loan origination fees or costs), impairment is recognized by creating or adjusting an allocation of the allowance for loan losses and uncollected accrued interest is reversed against interest income. If ultimate collection of principal is in doubt, all cash receipts on impaired loans are applied to reduce the principal balance.

The categories of non-accrual loans and impaired loans overlap, although they are not identical.

(1) For the year ended September 30, 2018.2019.

A troubled debt restructured loan ("TDR") is a loan for which the Company, for reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that the Company would not otherwise consider.  Examples of such concessions include, but are not limited to: a reduction in the stated interest rate; an extension of the maturity at an interest rate below current market rates; a reduction in the face amount of the debt; a reduction in the accrued interest; or re-amortizations, extensions, deferrals and renewals.  TDRs are considered impaired and are individually evaluated for impairment.  TDRs are classified as non-accrual (and considered to be non-performing) unless they have been performing in accordance with modified terms for a period of at least six months. The Company had $3.21$3.25 million and $3.28$3.27 million in TDRs included in impaired loans at June 30,December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018,2019, respectively, and had no commitments at these dates to lend additional funds on these loans.  The allowance for loan losses allocated to TDRs at June 30,December 31, 2019 and September 30, 20182019 was $69,000$53,000 and $97,000,$56,000, respectively. There were no TDRs for which there was a payment default within the first 12 months of the modification during the ninethree months ended June 30,December 31, 2019.

(6) LEASES

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842 ("ASC 842") on October 1, 2019 and began recording operating lease liabilities and operating lease ROU assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has operating leases for three retail bank branch offices. The ROU assets totaled $2.89 million at October 1, 2019. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of twelve months to eleven years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to five years.

The components of lease cost (included in the premises and equipment expense category in the consolidated statements of income) are as follows for the three months ended December 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

 Three Months Ended December 31, 2019
Lease cost:

Operating cash flows from operating leases$79
 
Weighted average lease term-operating leases10.04

Weighted average discount rate-operating leases2.22% 

The Company's leases typically do not contain a discount rate implicit in the lease contract. As an alternative, the weighted average discount rate used to value the future value of lease payments due in calculating the value of the ROU asset and lease liability was determined by utilizing the September 30, 2019 fixed-rate advances issued by the FHLB of Des Moines, for all leases entered into prior to the October 1, 2019 adoption date.

Maturities of operating lease liabilities at December 31, 2019 for future fiscal years are as follows (dollars in thousands):

(7) NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without considering any dilutive items.  Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents for items that are dilutive, net of shares assumed to be repurchased using the treasury stock method at the average share price for the Company’s common stock during the period.  Common stock equivalents arise from the assumed conversion of outstanding stock options to purchase common stock.  Shares owned by the Bank’s ESOP that have not been allocated are not considered to be outstanding for the purpose of computing basic and diluted net income per common share. At June 30,December 31, 2019, all shares had been allocated under the Bank's ESOP. At June 30,December 31, 2018, there were 45,99914,027 shares that had not been allocated under the Bank’s ESOP.

Information regarding the calculation of basic and diluted net income per common share for the three and nine months ended June 30,December 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

(9)(10) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined under GAAP as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. Based on the underlying inputs, each fair value measurement in its entirety is reported in one of three levels. These levels are:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar (as opposed to identical) assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The Company's assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of investment securities available for sale and investments in equity securities. The estimated fair values of MBS are based upon market prices of similar securities or observable inputs (Level 2). The estimated fair values of mutual funds are based upon quoted market prices (Level 1).

The Company had no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30,December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018.2019. The Company's assets measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at June 30,December 31, 2019 and September 30, 20182019 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

There were no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the ninethree months ended June 30,December 31, 2019 and the year ended September 30, 2018.2019.

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with GAAP.  These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market value that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period.

The Company uses the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value on a non-recurring basis:

Impaired Loans: The estimated fair value of impaired loans is calculated using the collateral value method or on a discounted cash flow basis.  The specific reserve for collateral dependent impaired loans is based on the estimated fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell, if applicable.  In some cases, adjustments are made to the appraised values due to

various factors including age of the appraisal, age of comparables included in the appraisal and known changes in the market and in the collateral. Such adjustments may be significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Investment Securities Held to Maturity: The estimated fair value of investment securities held to maturity is based upon the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the investment security.  Such assumptions include quoted market prices (Level 1), market prices of similar securities or observable inputs (Level 2) and unobservable inputs such as dealer quotes, discounted cash flows or similar techniques (Level 3).


OREO and Other Repossessed Assets, net:  OREO and other repossessed assets are recorded at estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.  Estimated fair value is generally determined by management based on a number of factors, including third-party appraisals of estimated fair value in an orderly sale.  Estimated costs to sell are based on standard market factors.  The valuation of OREO and other repossessed assets is subject to significant external and internal judgment (Level 3).

GAAP requires disclosure of estimated fair values for certain financial instruments. Such estimates are subjective in nature, and significant judgment is required regarding the risk characteristics of various financial instruments at a discrete point in time. Therefore, such estimates could vary significantly if assumptions regarding uncertain factors were to change. In addition, as the Company normally intends to hold the majority of its financial instruments until maturity, it does not expect to realize many of the estimated amounts disclosed. The disclosures also do not include estimated fair value amounts for certain items which are not defined as financial instruments but for which may have significant value. The Company does not believe that it would be practicable to estimate a represented fair value for these types of items as of June 30,December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018.2019. Because GAAP excludes certain items from fair value disclosure requirements, any aggregation of the fair value amounts presented would not represent the underlying value of the Company. Additionally, in accordance with ASU No. 2016-01, which the Company adopted on October 1, 2018 on a prospective basis, the Company uses the exit price notion in calculating the fair values of financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

(10)(11) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014,January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which created FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606 ("ASC 606"). The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASC 606 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASC 606 on October 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, the comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under superseded ASC 605. There was no cumulative effect adjustment as of

October 1, 2018, and there were no material changes to the timing or amount of revenue recognized for the nine months ended June 30, 2019; however, additional disclosures were incorporated in the footnotes upon adoption. The majority of the Company's revenue is comprised of interest income from financial assets, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of ASC 606. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient pursuant to ACS 606 and therefore does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have an original expected term of one year or less and allows the Company to expense costs related to obtaining a contract as incurred when the amortization period would have been one year or less. See Note 12 for additional information.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU No. 2016-01 generally requires equity investments - except those accounted for under the valuation method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee - to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. ASU No. 2016-01 is intended to simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. ASU No. 2016-01 also eliminates certain disclosures related to the fair value of financial instruments and requires entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. ASU No 2016-01 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-01 oneffective October 1, 2018. As required by ASU No. 2016-01, on October 1, 2018 the Company recorded a one-time cumulative effect adjustment of $63,000 representing net unrealized losses on equity securities (mutual funds) between accumulated other comprehensive loss and retained earnings on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, the fair values of financial instruments for disclosure purposes were computed using an exit price notion and deposits with no stated maturity are no longer included in the fair value disclosures in Note 9.10.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU, which created FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842 ("ASC 842") and is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The principal change required by this ASUASC 842 relates to lessee accounting, and is that for operating leases, a lessee is required to (1) recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position, (2) recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term generally on a generally straight-line basis, and (3) classify all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. This ASUASC 842 also changes disclosure requirements related to leasing activities and requires certain qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures. In July 2018,ASC 842 also provides an optional transition method for adoption, under which an entity initially applies ASC 842 at the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements. This ASU amendedadoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the new lease standard to give entities another optionopening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, an entity's reporting for transition and to provide lessors with a practical expedient. The transition option allows entities to not apply the new leases standard in comparative periods they presentpresented in theirthe financial statements in the year of adoption. The practical expedient provides lessors with an optionwhich it adopts ASC 842 will continue to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components when certain criteria are met and requires them to account for the combined componentbe in accordance with current GAAP. ASC 606 if the associated non-lease components are the predominant components. The amendments have the same effective date as ASU No. 2016-02. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842), Codification Improvements. The amendments in this ASU include the following items: (i) determining the fair value of the underlying assets by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers; (ii) requiring cash received from lessors from sales-type and direct financing leases to be presented in the cash flow statement within investing activities, and (iii) clarifying interim disclosure requirements. The effective date and transition requirements for the first and second items in this ASU are842 was effective for annual periods, and interim

periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted.2018. The effective date and transition requirements for the third item of this ASU are the same as ASU No. 2016-02. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-02 are effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application of the amendments in this ASU is permitted. The effect of adoption of this ASU will depend on the nature and terms of the Company's leases at the time of adoption. OnceCompany adopted the provisions of ASC 842 effective October 1, 2019 utilizing the optional transition method and will not restate comparative periods. The Company expectsalso elected the package of practical expedients permitted under ASC 842's transition guidance, which allows the Company to report higher assetscarryforward its historical lease classifications and liabilitiesits assessment as to whether a result of including right-of-usecontract is or contains a lease. The Company also elected to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities related to certain banking officesfor leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. As a result of adopting ASC 842, total other assets and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating lease agreements; however, basedother liabilities increased by $2.89 million on current leases the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's future consolidated financial statements.October 1, 2019.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, as amended by ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2019-05. This ASU replaces the existing incurred losses methodology with a current expected losses

methodology with respect to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held to maturity investment securities and off-balance sheet commitments. In addition, this ASU requires credit losses relating to available for sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction of the carrying amount. ASU No. 2016-13 also changes the accounting for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. ASU No. 2016-13 retains many of the current disclosure requirements in GAAP and expands certain disclosure requirements. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019,2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon adoption, the Company expects a change in the processes and procedures to calculate the allowance for loan losses, including changes in the assumptions and estimates to consider expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. In addition, the current policy for other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities available for sale will be replaced with an allowance approach. The Company is reviewing the requirements of ASU No. 2016-13 and has begun developing and implementing processes and procedures to ensure it is fully compliant with the amendments at the adoption date. At this time, the Company anticipates the allowance for loan losses will increase as a result of the implementation of this ASU; however, until its evaluation is complete, the magnitude of the increase will be unknown.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill and eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) at the impairment testing date following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Under ASU No. 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. ASU No. 2017-04 will be effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application of this ASU is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's future consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. This ASU shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. This ASU is2017-08 was effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's future consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation--Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. This ASU was issued to provide clarity as to when to apply modification accounting when there is a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. According to the ASU, an entity should account for the effects of a modification unless the fair value, vesting conditions, and balance sheet classification of the award are the same after the modification as compared to the original award prior to modification. ASU No. 2017-09 was effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on2017-08 effective October 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-092019 and it did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment AccountingAccounting.. This ASU was issued to expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. Previously, these awards were recorded at the fair value of consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued and waswere measured at the earlier of the commitment date or the date performance was completed. The amendments in this ASU require nonemployee share-based payment awards to be measured at the grant-date fair value of the equity instrument. ASU No. 2018-07 iswas effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity's adoption of Topic 606. The adoption ofCompany adopted ASU No. 2018-07 iseffective October 1, 2019 and it did not expected to have a material impact on the Company's future consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The following disclosure requirements were removed from ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement: (1) the

amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; (2) the policy for timing of

transfers between levels; and (3) the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU clarifies that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. This ASU adds the following disclosure requirements for Level 3 measurements: (1) changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for the recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period, and (2) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for any removed or modified disclosures. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-13 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's future consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The amendments in this ASU broaden the scope of ASC Subtopic 350-40 to include costs incurred to implement a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. The amendments align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The costs are capitalized or expensed depending on the nature of the costs and the project stage during which they are incurred, consistent with the accounting for internal-use software costs. The amendments in this ASU result in consistent capitalization of implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract and implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in this ASU. ASU No. 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's future consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's future consolidated financial statements.

(11)(12) U.S. TAX REFORM

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). The Tax Act significantly revised the future ongoing U.S. corporate income tax by, among other things, decreasing the federal corporate income tax rate to 21.0% from 35.0% effective January 1, 2018. As the Company has a September 30 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate federal income tax rate was phased in, resulting in a blended federal income tax rate of approximately 24.5% for the Company's fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, and 21.0% for subsequent fiscal years. In addition, the reduction of the corporate federal income tax rate required the Company to revalue its deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the lower federal tax rate of 21.0%.

As a result of the Tax Act, during the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a one-time income tax expense of $548,000 in conjunction with remeasuring its net deferred tax assets. The impact of using the 24.5% blended federal income tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 versus a 35.0% rate reduced the provision for income taxes by approximately $551,000.

(12)(13) REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

ASC 606 applies to all contracts with customers to provide goods or services in the ordinary course of business, except for contracts that are specifically excluded from its scope. The majority of the Company's revenues are composed of interest income, deferred loan fee accretion, premium/discount accretion, gains on sales of loans and investments, BOLI net earnings, servicing income on loans sold and other loan fee income, which are not in the scope of ASC 606. Revenue reported as service charges on deposits, ATM and debit card interchange transaction fees, merchant services fees, non-deposit investment fees and escrow fees are within the scope of ASC 606. All of the Company's revenue from contracts with customers in the scope of ASC 606 is recognized in non-interest income with the exception of gains on sale of OREO and gains on sales/disposition of premises and equipment, which are included in non-interest expense.

If a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies its performance obligation. Descriptions of the Company's revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASC 606 are as follows:

Service Charges on Deposits: The Company earns fees from its deposit customers from a variety of deposit products and services. Non-transaction based fees such as account maintenance fees and monthly statement fees are considered to be provided to the customer under a day-to-day contract with ongoing renewals. Revenue for these non-transaction fees are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance

obligation. Transaction-based fees such as non-sufficient fund charges, stop payment charges and wire fees are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as the contract duration does not extend beyond the service performed.
ATM and Debit Card Interchange Transaction Fees: The Company earns fees from cardholder transactions conducted through third party payment network providers which consist of interchange fees earned from the payment networks as a debit card issuer. These fees are recognized when the transaction occurs, but may settle on a daily or monthly basis.
Escrow Fees: The Company earns fees from real estate escrow contracts with customers. The Company receives and disburses money and/or property per the customer's contract. Fees are recognized when the escrow contract closes.
Fee Income from Non-deposit Investment Sales: The Company earns fees from contracts with customers for investment activities. Revenues are generally recognized on a monthly basis and are generally based on a percentage of the customer's assets under management or based on investment solutions that are implemented for the customer.

Overview

Timberland Bancorp Inc., a Washington corporation, is the holding company for Timberland Bank. The Bank opened for business in 1915 and serves consumers and businesses across Grays Harbor, Thurston, Pierce, King, Kitsap and Lewis counties, Washington with a full range of lending and deposit services through its 24 offices (including its main office in Hoquiam). At June 30,December 31, 2019, the Company had total assets of $1.25$1.27 billion, net loans receivable of $873.98$913.15 million, total deposits of $1.07$1.08 billion and total shareholders’ equity of $166.27$175.65 million.  The Company's business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in the Bank. Accordingly, the information set for this report, including consolidated financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank's operations.

On October 1, 2018, the Company completed the South Sound Merger.Acquisition. The operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30,December 31, 2019 and 2018 include the operating results produced by the net assets acquired in the South Sound Merger.Acquisition. For additional information on the South Sound Merger,Acquisition, see Note 2 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in "Item 1, Financial Statements."

The Bank is a community-oriented bank which has traditionally offered a variety of savings products to its retail and business customers while concentrating its lending activities on real estate mortgagesecured loans. Lending activities have been focused primarily on the origination of loans secured by real estate, including residential construction loans, one- to four-family residential loans, multi-family loans and commercial real estate loans. The Bank also originates commercial business loans and other consumer loans.

The profitability of the Company’s operations depends primarily on its net interest income after provision for (recapture of) loan losses.  Net interest income is the difference between interest income, which is the income that the Company earns on interest-earning assets, which are primarily loans and investments, and interest expense, the amount the Company pays on its interest-bearing liabilities, which are primarily deposits and borrowings (as needed).  Net interest income is affected by changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets, interest earned on those assets, the volume and mix of interest-bearing liabilities and interest paid on those interest-bearing liabilities. Management attempts to match the re-pricing characteristics of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities to protectmaintain a net interest income from changes in market interest rates and changes inmargin placing it within the shapetop quartile of the yield curve.

its Washington State peers.

The provision for (recapture of) loan losses is dependent on changes in the loan portfolio and management’s assessment of the collectability of the loan portfolio as well as prevailing economic and market conditions.  The allowance for loan losses reflects the amount that the Company believes is adequate to cover probable credit losses inherent in its loan portfolio.

Net income is also affected by non-interest income and non-interest expenses.  For the three and nine month periodsperiod ended June 30,December 31, 2019, non-interest income consisted primarily of service charges on deposit accounts, gain on sales of loans, ATM and debit card interchange transaction fees, a BOLI death benefit claim, an increase in the cash surrender value of BOLI, servicing income on loans sold gain on sale of investment securities and other operating income.  Non-interest income is also increased by net recoveries on investment securities and reduced by net OTTI losses on investment securities, if any.  Non-interest expenses consisted primarily of salaries and employee benefits, premises and equipment, advertising, ATM and debit card interchange transaction fees, OREO and other repossessed asset expenses, postage and courier expenses, state and local taxes, professional fees, FDIC insurance premiums, loan administration and foreclosure expenses, data processing and telecommunication expenses, deposit operation expenses, amortization of CDI, and other non-interest expenses.  Non-interest expenses in certain periods are reduced by gains on the sale of premises and equipment and gains on the sale of OREO. Non-interest income and non-interest expenses are affected by the growth of the Company's operations and growth in the number of loan and deposit accounts.

Results of operations may be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company has identified several accounting policies that as a result of judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in the Company’s 20182019 Form 10-K under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.” That discussion highlights estimates the Company makes that involve uncertainty or potential for substantial change. There have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates as previously disclosed in the Company’s 20182019 Form 10-K, other than the accounting for business combinations. See Note 2 of the Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements contained in "Item 1, Financial Statements."10-K.

Provision for Loan Losses:  A $200,000 provision for loan losses was made for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to loan portfolio growth as net loans receivable increased by $26.49 million during the quarter. There was no provision for (recapture of) loan losses made for both the quartersquarter ended June 30, 2019 andDecember 31, 2018. For the quarter ended June 30,December 31, 2019, there were net charge-offs of $110,000$8,000 compared to net charge-offsrecoveries of $12,000$3,000 for the quarter ended June 30,December 31, 2018. Non-accrual loans increased by $2.03 million,$37,000, or 154.4%1.2%, to $3.35$3.07 million at June 30,December 31, 2019, from $1.32$3.03 million at September 30, 20182019 and increased by $644,000,$1.48 million, or 23.8%93.1%, from $2.71$1.59 million at June 30,December 31, 2018. Total delinquent loans (past due 30 days or more) and non-accrual loans increaseddecreased by $965,000,$53,000, or 37.8%1.3%, to $3.52$3.87 million at June 30,December 31, 2019, from $2.56$3.93 million at September 30, 20182019 and increased by $94,000,$616,000, or 2.7%18.9%, from $3.43$3.26 million one year ago. 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 there was no provision for (recapture of) loan losses. Net recoveries for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 were $101,000 compared to net charge-offs of $21,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2018.

The Company has established a comprehensive methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses.  On a quarterly basis the Company performs an analysis that considers pertinent factors underlying the quality of the loan portfolio.  These factors include changes in the amount and composition of the loan portfolio, historical loss experience for various loan segments, changes in economic conditions, delinquency rates, a detailed analysis of impaired loans, and other factors to determine an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses. Impaired loans are subjected to an impairment analysis to determine an appropriate reserve amount to be allocated to each loan.  The aggregate principal impairment reserve amount determined at June 30,December 31, 2019 was $259,000$105,000 compared to $97,000$172,000 at September 30, 20182019 and $358,000$137,000 at June 30,December 31, 2018. 

In accordance with GAAP, loans acquired in the South Sound MergerAcquisition were recorded at their estimated fair value, which resulted in a net discount to the loan's contractual amounts, of which a portion reflects a discount for possible credit losses. Credit discounts are included in the determination of fair value and as a result no allowance for loan losses is recorded for acquired loans at the acquisition date. The discount recorded on the acquired loans is not reflected in the allowance for loan losses or related allowance coverage ratios. The remaining fair value discount on loans acquired in the South Sound Merger

Acquisition was $1.57$1.24 million at June 30,December 31, 2019. We believeThe Company believes this should be considered by investors when comparing the Company's allowance for loan losses to total loans in periods prior to the South Sound Merger.Acquisition.

Based on its comprehensive analysis, management believes the allowance for loan losses of $9.63$9.88 million at June 30,December 31, 2019 (1.09%(1.07% of loans receivable and 287.5%321.9% of non-performing loans) was adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio at that date.  The allowance for loan losses was $9.53$9.69 million (1.30%(1.08% of loans receivable and 723.6%319.5% of non-performing loans) at September 30, 20182019 and $9.53 mil1ion (1.31%(1.10% of loans receivable and 304.1%599.6% of non-performing loans) at June 30,December 31, 2018. While the Company believes it has established its existing allowance for loan losses in accordance with GAAP, there can be no assurance that bank regulators, in reviewing the Company's loan portfolio, will not request the Company to increase significantly its allowance for loan losses. In addition, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate or that a substantial increase will not be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate. Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses would adversely affect the Company's financial condition and results of operations. For additional information, see Note 5 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in “Item 1, Financial Statements.”

Non-interest Income: Total non-interest income increased by $393,000,$672,000, or 12.5%20.6%, to $3.54$3.94 million for the quarter ended June 30,December 31, 2019 from $3.15$3.27 million for the quarter ended June 30,December 31, 2018. The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to a $169,000$567,000 increase in gain on sales of loans, a $145,000 increase in ATM and debit card interchange fees, an $85,000a $92,000 increase in recoveries on gain on sales of loansinvestment securities, and smaller increases in several other categories. The increaseThese increases were partially offset by a $97,000 decrease in ATMservicing income on loans sold and debit card interchange fees was primarily due to an increasesmaller decreases in the dollar volume of debit card transactions, which was in part a result of the transaction accounts acquired in the South Sound Merger.several other categories. The increase in gain on sale of loans was primarily due to an increase in the dollar volume of fixed-rate one- to four-family loans sold during the current quarter.

Total non-interest income for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 increasedquarter, which was largely driven by $1.38 million, or 14.7%, to $10.74 million from $9.36 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to a $1.10 millionan increase in BOLI net earnings, a $248,000refinance activity. The increase in ATM and debit card interchange fees a $134,000 increase in service charges on deposits and smaller increases in several other categories. Partially offsetting these increases was a $233,000 decrease in gain on sales of loans and smaller decreases in several other categories. The increased BOLI income was primarily the result of a $1.03 million BOLI death benefit claim. The increases in ATM and debit card interchange fees and service charges on deposits were primarily a result of income from the deposit accounts acquired in the South Sound Merger. The decrease in gain on sale of loans was primarily due to a lower average loan sale margin on loans sold and a decreasean increase in the dollar volume of fixed-rate one-debit card transactions. The increase in recoveries on investment securities was primarily due to four-familythe payoffs of several investment securities for which OTTI had previously been recorded. The decrease in servicing income on loans sold duringwas primarily due to an increase in the period.amortization of servicing rights.

Non-interest Expense:  Total non-interest expense increaseddecreased by $1.85 million,$189,000, or 25.9%2.2%, to $8.97$8.37 million for the quarter ended June 30,December 31, 2019 from $7.12$8.56 million for the quarter ended June 30,December 31, 2018. This increasedecrease was primarily due to increasesa $101,000 decrease in FDIC insurance expense, a $99,000 gain on sales/dispositions of $589,000premises and equipment, an $89,000 decrease in data processing and telecommunications and smaller decreases in several other categories. These decreases were partially offset by a $116,000 increase in salaries and employee benefitsbenefit expense $522,000and smaller increases in several other categories. The FDIC insurance expense was reduced due to the Bank's receipt of an FDIC insurance assessment credit. The gain on sales/dispositions was primarily due to the sale of land acquired in the South Sound Acquisition that had been held for future expansion. The decrease in data processing and telecommunications expense $237,000was primarily due to net decreased costs with the Company's new core processing provider and converting the acquired South Sound Bank branches to the new system in OREO related expenses, $203,000 in premises and equipment expenses, $120,000 in CDI amortization and smaller increases in several other categories.July 2019. The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was primarily due to the additional employees added as a result of the South Sound Merger and annual salary adjustments. The increaseadjustments in data processing and telecommunications expense was primarily a result of expenses associated with the recent core operating system conversion to the Jack Henry Silverlake platform and the upcoming conversion of the branches acquired in the South Sound Merger to the Silverlake platform. The increase in OREO related expenses was primarily due to a $124,000 gain on sale of an OREO property in the comparable quarter one year ago (which reduced expenses) and higher maintenance costs in the current quarter. The increase in premises and equipment expense was primarily a result of the South Sound Merger and an increase in building maintenance expenses.October 2019.

Total non-interest expense increased by $5.29 million, or 24.6%, to $26.81 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 from $21.52 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was primarily due to increases of $2.11 million in salaries and employee benefits expense, $1.24 million in data processing and telecommunications expense, $585,000 in premises and equipment expenses, $339,000 in CDI amortization and smaller increases in several other categories.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred South Sound Merger acquisition related expenses of $447,000, of which $317,000 is included in data processing and telecommunication category and $130,000 is included in the professional fees category. During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred South Sound Merger acquisition related expenses of $270,000, which are included in the professional fees category. The Company is scheduled to fully integrate the branches acquired in the South Sound Merger to the new core operating system in the upcoming quarter and expects to incur approximately $450,000 in conversion related expense during the quarter ending September 30, 2019.

The efficiency ratio for the current quarter improved to 54.43%49.43% from 55.33.%54.85% for the comparable quarter one year ago as the increases in net interest income and non-interest income outpaced the increase inincreased and non-interest expense.

Provision for Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes increased by $218,000,$282,000, or 16.3%19.7%, to $1.55$1.72 million for the quarter ended June 30,December 31, 2019 from $1.33$1.43 million for the quarter ended June 30,December 31, 2018, and decreased by $69,000, or 1.6%,primarily due to $4.26 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 from $4.33 million for the nine months ended June 30. 2018.higher income before income taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 20.67%20.50% for the quarter ended June 30,December 31, 2019 and 23.20%20.33% for the quarter ended June 30,December 31, 2018. The Company's effective tax rate was 19.42% for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 26.04% for the nine months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the current periods was primarily due to the lower effective corporate federal income tax rate as a result of the Tax Act. A higher percentage of tax-exempt income, primarily due to the BOLI death benefit claim, also contributed to the lower effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2019.

Liquidity

The Company’s primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, the sale of loans, maturing investment securities, maturing CDs held for investment and FHLB borrowings (if needed).  While maturities and the scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

Liquidity management is both a short and long-term responsibility of the Bank’s management.  The Bank adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon management’s assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) projected loan sales, (iii) expected deposit flows, and (iv) yields available on interest-bearing deposits.  Excess liquidity is invested generally in interest-bearing overnight deposits and other short-term investments.

The Bank generally maintains sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs.  At June 30,December 31, 2019, the Bank’s regulatory liquidity ratio (net cash, and short-term and marketable assets, as a percentage of net deposits and short-term liabilities) was 24.93%19.97%.

The Company’s total cash and cash equivalents and CDs held for investment increaseddecreased by $39.87$26.26 million, or 18.8%11.9%, to $252.02$195.10 million at June 30,December 31, 2019 from $212.15$221.36 million at September 30, 2018.2019. If the Bank requires funds that exceed its ability to generate them internally, it has additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco ("FRB") and Pacific Coast Bankers' Bank ("PCBB"). At June 30,December 31, 2019, the Bank maintained an uncommitted credit facility with the FHLB that provided for immediately available advances up to an aggregate amount equal to 45% of total assets, limited by available collateral. The Bank also has a Letter of Credit ("LOC") of up to $23.00 million with the FHLB for the purpose of collateralizing Washington State public deposits. Any amount pledged for public deposit under the LOC reduces the Bank's available borrowing amount under the FHLB advance agreement. At June 30,December 31, 2019, the Bank had $23.00 million pledged under the LOC, which left $294.12$367.28 million available for additional FHLB borrowings.  The Bank maintains a short-term borrowing line with the FRB with available total credit based on eligible collateral.  At June 30,December 31, 2019, the Bank had $84.02$80.32 million available for borrowings with the FRB and there was no outstanding balance on this borrowing line. The Bank also maintains a $10.00 million overnight borrowing line with PCBB. At June 30,December 31, 2019, the Bank did not have an outstanding balance on this borrowing line.

The Bank’s primary investing activity is the origination of one- to four-family mortgage loans, commercial mortgage loans, construction loans, consumer loans, and commercial business loans.  At June 30,December 31, 2019, the Bank had loan commitments totaling $96.31$103.63 million and undisbursed construction loans in process totaling $93.18$82.17 million.  The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments.  CDs that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from June 30,December 31, 2019 totaled $89.30$94.53 million. 

Capital Resources

The Bank, as a state-chartered, federally insured savings bank, is subject to the capital requirements established by the FDIC. Under the FDIC's capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet

specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.

Based on its capital levels at June 30,December 31, 2019, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements as of that date. Consistent with the Bank's goals to operate a sound and profitable organization, it is the Bank's policy to maintain a "well-capitalized" status under the regulatory capital categories of the FDIC. Based on capital levels at June 30,December 31, 2019, the Bank was considered to be "well-capitalized" under applicable regulatory requirements. Management monitors the capital levels to provide for current and future business opportunities and to maintain the Bank's "well-capitalized" status.

In addition to the minimum common equity Tier 1 ("CET1"), Tier 1 and total capital ratios, the Bank is required to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CET1 capital greater than 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses based on percentages of retained income that could be utilized for such actions. At June 30,December 31, 2019, the Bank's CET1 capital exceeded the required capital conservation buffer was 10.41%.buffer.

Timberland Bancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve. Bank holding companies are subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve. For a bank holding company with less than $3.0 billion in assets (as of June 30th of the preceding year), the capital guidelines apply on a bank only basis and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company's subsidiary bank to be well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations. If Timberland Bancorp, Inc. were subject to regulatory guidelines for bank holding companies with $3.0 billion or more in assets, at June 30,December 31, 2019, Timberland Bancorp, Inc. would have exceeded all regulatory requirements.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There were no material changes in information concerning market risk from the information provided in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018.2019.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:  An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company’s senior management as of the end of the period covered by this report.  The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30,December 31, 2019 the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
 
(b)
Changes in Internal Controls:  There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30,December 31, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  The Company continued, however, to implement suggestions from its internal auditor and independent auditors to strengthen existing controls.  The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud.  A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.  The design of any control procedure is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; as over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
