Other factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to:

legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business
implementing regulations, changes in regulatory policies and principles, or the interpretation of regulatory capital or other rules;
our ability to control operating costs and expenses;
increases in premiums for deposit insurance;
the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain of our assets, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuation;
difficulties in reducing risk associated with the loans on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition;
staffing fluctuations in response to product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect our workforce and potential associated charges;
disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events, failures or interruptions in, or attacks on, our information technology systems or on the third-party vendors who perform several of our critical processing functions;

HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(1)Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
(a) Description of Business
The Company is primarily engaged in the business of planning, directing and coordinating the business activities of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Heritage Bank. The Bank is headquartered in Olympia, Washington and conducts business from its 6253 branch offices as of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 located throughout Washington State and the greater Portland, Oregon area. The Bank’s business consists primarily of commercial lending and deposit relationships with small and medium-sized businesses and their owners in its market areas and attracting deposits from the general public. The Bank also makes real estate construction and land development loans, consumer loans and originates first mortgage loans on residential properties primarily located in its market areas. The Bank's deposits are insured by the FDIC.
The Company announced a plan in October 2020 to consolidate 9 branches to create a more efficient branch footprint, including 1 branch during October 2020 and 8 branches during January 2021. This will reduce the branch count from 62 to 53. The Company plans to integrate these locations into other branches within its network.

(b) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. It is recommended that these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes be read with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes included in the 20192020 Annual Form 10-K. In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.2021.
To prepare unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided,provided. Management believes that the judgments, estimates, and actualassumptions used in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are appropriate based on the facts and circumstances at the time. Actual results, however, could differ.differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to management's estimate of ACL on loans, management's estimate of ACL on unfunded commitments, management's evaluation of goodwill impairment and the fair value of financial instruments. It is reasonably possible that management's estimate of the ACL on loans of $73.3$64.2 million at September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 as disclosed in Note (4) Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans, management's estimate of the ACL on unfunded commitments of $3.6 million as disclosed in Note (14) Commitments and Contingencies, management's conclusion that the fair value of the reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its carrying value at September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 as disclosed in Note (6) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and the estimates of fair value of financial instruments as disclosed in Note (12) Fair Value Measurements could materially change. In particular, these estimates have been and will continue to be affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The severity, magnitude and duration, as well as the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, are uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict. As a result, our accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions among the Company and the Bank have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain prior year amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. Namely, loan receivable balances in the disclosures of Note (3) Loans Receivable and Note (4) Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, which is net of deferred fees and costs. Reclassifications had no effect on the prior years' net income or stockholders’ equity.

(c) Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in preparation of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are disclosed in greater detail in the 20192020 Annual Form 10-K. Other than the adoption of the new accounting standard discussed below, thereThere have not been any material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies from those contained in the 20192020 Annual Form 10-K.10-K during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

(d) Adoption of Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
FASB ASU 2016-13
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments -Instruments: Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended replacingby ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, ASU 2019-11, and ASU 2020-02, was originally issued in June 2016. This ASU replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology, which is commonly referred to as the "CECL" methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at
13


Table of Contents
amortized cost, including loans receivable. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures such as loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments. In addition, CECL Adoption made changes to the accounting for credit losses on investment securities available for sale.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and unfunded commitments. The Company elected not to measure an ACL on accrued interest receivable on loans receivable or accrued interest receivable on investment securities available for sale as Company policy is to reverse interest income for uncollectible accrued interest receivable balances in a timely manner. Due to the significant number of loan payment deferral modifications which have been made in accordance with the CARES Act, the Company assessed the need for an allowance on credit losses of its accrued interest receivable on loans and determined no allowance was required to be recorded as the ACL on accrued interest receivable on loans was not significant at September 30, 2020.
Results for the reporting period beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASU 2016-13, while prior period amounts were not restated and continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The accounting policies for prior periods are included in the 2019 Form 10-K.
The accounting policies for all financial instruments impacted by CECL Adoption are as follows:
Investment Securities
A debt security is placed on nonaccrual status at the time any principal or payments become more than 90 days delinquent. Interest accrued, but not received for a security placed on nonaccrual, is reversed against interest income during the period that the debt security is placed on nonaccrual status.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Investment Securities Available for Sale
Management evaluates the need for an ACL on investment securities available for sale on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For investment securities available for sale in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For investment securities available for sale that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an ACL on investment securities available for sale is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any decline in fair value that has not been recorded through an ACL on investment securities available for sale is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Changes in the ACL on investment securities available for sale are recorded as provision for credit losses expense. Losses are charged against the ACL when management believes the uncollectability of an investment security available for sale is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.
Accrued interest receivable on investment securities available for sale is excluded from the estimate of credit losses as interest accrued, but not received, is reversed timely in accordance with the policy for investment securities stated above.
Loans Receivable
Loans receivable include loans originated and indirect loans purchased by the Bank as well as loans acquired in business combinations.
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost. Amortized cost is the outstanding principal balance, net of purchased premiums and discounts, unearned discounts, and net deferred loan origination fees and costs. Accrued interest receivable for loans receivable is reported within Accrued interest receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Purchased Loans:
Loans acquired in a business combination are designated as “purchased” loans. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Bank's PCI loans were transitioned to PCD loans. The Bank elected to account for the
14


Table of Contents
PCD loans individually, terminating the pools of loans that were previously accounted for under ASC 310-30.
Loans purchased after January 1, 2020 are recorded at their fair value at acquisition date net of an ACL on loans expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. The initial ACL on purchased loans is determined using the same methodology as originated loans. For non-PCD loans, the initial ACL is recorded through earnings as a provision for credit losses. For PCD loans, the initial ACL is incorporated into the calculation of the fair value of net assets acquired on the merger date and the net of the PCD loan purchase price and the initial ACL becomes the initial amortized cost basis. The difference between the initial amortized cost basis and the par value of PCD loans is the noncredit discount or premium for PCD loans. The noncredit discount or premium for PCD loans and both the noncredit and credit discount or premium for non-PCD loans are accreted through the interest and fees on loans line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income over the life of the loan using the effective interest method for non-revolving credits or the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, for revolving credits. Any unrecognized discount or premium for a purchased loan that is subsequently repaid in full is recognized immediately into income. Subsequent changes to the ACL on loans for purchased loans are recorded through earnings as a provision for credit losses.
Troubled Debt Restructures:
The CARES Act and regulatory agencies provided guidance around the modification of loans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and outlined, among other criteria, that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as defined by the CARES Act and related regulatory guidance prior to any relief, are not TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g. six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers are considered current if they are less than 30 days past due on the contractual payments as of December 31, 2019 under the CARES Act and at the time a modification program is implemented under related regulatory guidance.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
The ACL on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost of loans receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected. Loans are charged against the ACL when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged off. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACL. The Bank records the changes in the ACL through earnings as a provision for credit losses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Accrued interest receivable on loans receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Instead, interest accrued, but not received, is reversed timely in accordance with the policy for loans receivable.
Management has adopted a historic loss, open pool CECL methodology to calculate the ACL on loans. The same methodology is applied to all loans consistent with the guidance of the accounting standard which does not require undue complexity. Under this methodology, the Company has identified segments of loans with similar risk characteristics that align with their identified loan classes. Nonaccrual loans are not considered similar to other loans; therefore, they are evaluated for credit losses on an individual basis. The allowance for individually evaluated loans is calculated using either the collateral value method, which considers the likely source of repayment as the value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell, or the net present value method, which considers the contractual principal and interest terms and estimated cash flows available from the borrower to satisfy the debt.
A performing TDR loan is evaluated for allowance on a collective basis with loans with similar risk characteristics if a) it is classified as a risk rating of "Pass," b) it has paid a minimum of six months of principal and interest in accordance with the restructured terms, and c) it has not been over 30 days delinquent in the most recent six month period. If all three criteria on a performing TDR loan are not met, the loan is evaluated for credit losses on an individual basis as it is not deemed to have similar characteristics of other loans in the portfolio. Nonaccrual TDR loans, including defaulted TDR loans, and performing TDR loans that do not meet the similar characteristics criteria, are evaluated for allowance on an individual basis as described above except that the original interest rate is used to discount the expected cash flows, not the rate specified in the restructuring.
For each loan segment collectively measured for allowance, the baseline loss rates are calculated using the Bank's average quarterly historical loss information for an economic cycle. The Bank evaluates the historical period on a quarterly basis, with the assumption that economic cycles have historically lasted
15


Table of Contents
between 10 and 15 years. The baseline loss rates are applied to each loan's estimated cash flows over the life of the loan under the remaining life method to determine the baseline loss estimate for each loan. Estimated cash flows consider the principal and interest in accordance with the contractual term of the loan and estimated prepayments. Contractual cash flows are based on the amortized cost, and are adjusted for balances guaranteed by governmental entities, such as SBA or USDA, or the unguaranteed amortized cost. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications unless either of the following applies: 1) management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a TDR will be executed with an individual borrower or 2) the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. Prepayments are established for each segment based on rolling historical averages for the segments, which management believes is an accurate representation of future prepayment activity. Management reviews the adequacy of the prepayment period assumption on a quarterly basis.
The CECL methodology includes consideration of the forecasted direction of the economic and business environment and its likely impact to the estimated allowance as compared to the historical losses over the reasonable and supportable time frame. Economic forecast models for the current period are uploaded to the model, which targets 16 forecasted macroeconomic factors, such as unemployment rate, GDP, housing price index, commercial real estate price index, disposable income growth, mortgage rates, and certain rate indices. Each of the forecasted segments is impacted by a mix of these macroeconomic factors. Further, each of the macroeconomic factors is utilized differently by segment, including the application of lagged factors and various transformations such as percent change year over year.
The macroeconomic sensitive model is developed for each segment given the current and forecasted conditions, and a macroeconomic multiplier is calculated for each forecast period considering the forecasted losses as compared to the long-term average actual losses of the dataset. The impact of those macroeconomic factors to each segment, both positive or negative, using the reasonable and supportable period, are added to the calculated baseline loss rate. After the reasonable and supportable period, forecasted loss rates revert to historical baseline loss levels over the predetermined reversion period on a straight-lined basis.
The Bank also considers other qualitative risk factors to adjust the estimated ACL calculated by the above mentioned model. The Bank will have a bias for minimal factors unless internal or external factors outside those considered in its historical losses or macroeconomic forecast indicate otherwise. The Bank will establish metrics to estimate the qualitative risk factor by segment based on the identified risk.
In general, management's estimate of the ACL on loans uses relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
The evaluation of ACL on loans is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on further declines in local and national economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s ACL on loans. Such agencies may require the Bank to make adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations. The Company believes the ACL on loans is appropriate given all of the above considerations.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Commitments
The Bank estimates expected credit losses on unfunded, off-balance sheet commitments over the contractual period in which the Bank is exposed to credit risk from a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless the obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Bank. The Bank has determined that no allowance is necessary for its credit card portfolio as it has the ability to unconditionally cancel the available lines of credit.
The allowance methodology for unfunded commitments is similar to the ACL on loans, but additionally includes an estimate of the future utilization of the commitment as determined by historical commitment utilizations and the Bank's estimates of future utilizations given current economic forecasts. The credit risks associated with the unfunded commitments are consistent with the risks outlined for each loan class under the ACL for loans.
The ACL for unfunded commitments is recognized in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and changes are recorded through earnings as a provision for credit losses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

(e) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
FASB ASU 2016-13Financial Instruments: Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended by ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, ASU 2019-11, and 2020-02, was originally issued in June 2016. This ASU requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. For public

business entities, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted for fiscal years after December 15, 2018.2018 and can be delayed under a provision of the CARES Act until the end of the official health emergency declaration. The CompanyBank adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and unfunded commitments. At adoption, the Bank elected not to measure an ACL on January 1, 2020 as discussed in the Significant Accounting Policies section above. The adoption had the following impacts:
Investment Securities
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had no historical charge-offaccrued interest receivable on loans receivable or recovery history and did not have any investment securities available for sale outstanding at the adoption date for which an other-than-temporary impairment was previously recorded. At the adoption date of ASU 2016-13, the unrealized losses present in the portfolio of investment securities available for sale were primarily due to decreases in marketaccrued interest rates on floating rate investment securities since the purchase of the securities and the fair value of these securities was expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity dates. The basis of management’s conclusion was that at December 31, 2019, 83.5% of the investment securities were issued by or guaranteed by the United States government or its agencies, 14.0% were issued and guaranteed by State and local governments and the remainder of the portfolio was invested in at least investment-grade securities. As a result of the analysis, no ACLreceivable on investment securities available for sale was recorded upon adoption. See Note (2) Investment Securitiesas Bank policy is to reverse interest income for more information.
Loan Receivable
ASU 2016-13 was applied prospectively and replaced the allowance for loan losses with the ACL on loans on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and replaced the related provision for loan losses with the provision for credit losses as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, net of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments.uncollectible accrued interest receivable balances in a timely manner.
The adoption was completed in a specific order beginning with the transition of PCI loans to PCD loans. The Bank elected to account for the PCD loans individually, terminating the pools of loans that were previously accounted for under ASC 310-30. First,ASU 2016-13 included an ACL was determined for each PCI loan. The ACL on PCI loans was added to the loan's carrying amount to establish a PCD loan at its amortized cost basis. The difference between the outstanding principal balance and the amortized cost basis of the PCD loan is a noncredit premium or discount, which will be amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the PCD loan. The PCI to PCD transition did not have an impact on beginning retained earnings; however, it did have the effect of reducing the existing allowance for PCI loans by $1.6 million under the CECL methodology as compared to ASC 310-30 methodology.
Following the PCI to PCD transition, the Bank recorded a pretax increase to the ACL on loans of $3.4 million to increase the reserve to the estimated credit losses at January 1, 2020 based on its CECL methodology as part of the cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings. The pretax increase to the ACL on loans of $3.4 million and the reduction in ACL on loans due to the PCI to PCD transition of $1.6 million resulted in an increase in the ACL on loans of $1.8 million at January 1, 2020. Upon adoption, the adjusted beginning balance of the ACL on loans as a percentage of loans receivable was 1.01% as compared to 0.96% at December 31, 2019 under the prior incurred loss methodology.
The PCI to PCD transition also resulted in a net discount of $4.3 million for PCD loans, or an increase in the net discount for PCD loans of $1.6 million. Following the transition, the total net discount for purchased loans increased to $10.0 million at January 1, 2020 compared to $8.4 million as of December 31, 2019.

Unfunded Commitments
ASU 2016-13 was applied prospectively and replaced the reserve for unfunded commitments with the ACL on unfunded commitments as included in Accrued liabilities and other expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and replaced the provision for unfunded commitments with the provision for credit losses as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, net of provision for credit losses on loans. Upon adoption, the Bank recorded a pretax increase in the beginning ACL on unfunded commitments of $3.7 million. See Note (14) Commitments and Contingencies for more information.
Overall CECL Impact
The adoption of ASU 2016-13, including the above mentioned increase to the ACL on loans of $3.4 million and the increase to the ACL on unfunded commitments of $3.7 million, resultedresulting in a pretax cumulative-effect adjustment of $7.1 million. The impact of this adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2020 was $5.6 million, net of tax.
FASB ASU 2017-04Goodwill (Topic 350), was issued in January 2017 and eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The ASU is effective for annual periods or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019 using a prospective transition method and early adoption is permitted. The Company has goodwill from prior business combinations, performs an annual impairment test during the quarter ended December 31 or more frequently if changes or circumstances occur that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value and adopted the guidance on January 1, 2020. Although the Company cannot anticipate future goodwill impairment assessments, based on the most recent assessment prior to adoption, it is unlikely that an impairment amount would need to be calculated and, therefore, at adoption there was no impact from these amendments to the Company’s financial position and results of operations. In addition, the current accounting policies and processes were not changed, except for the elimination of the Step 2 analysis. For additional information regarding goodwill impairment testing, see Note (6) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
FASB ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, was issued in August 2018 and modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact to Note (12) Fair Value Measurements in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
FASB ASU 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments, was issued in March 2020 and revised a wide variety of topics in the Codification with the intent to make the Codification easier to understand and apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The ASU was effective immediately upon its release and did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of or for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
FASB ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), as amended by ASU 2021-01, was issued in March 2020 and provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other transactions affected by the anticipated transition away from LIBOR toward new interest rate benchmarks. For transactions that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance (i) modifications of loan agreements should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate and the modification will be considered "minor" so that any existing unamortized origination fees/costs would carry forward and continue to be amortized and (ii) modifications of lease agreements should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing agreement with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts. ASU 2020-04 also provides numerous optional expedients for derivative accounting and is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the ASU for contract modifications as of January 1, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic within the Codification, the amendments in this ASU must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. The Bank’s swap related transactions are the majority of the Company's LIBOR exposure. Effective January 25, 2021, the Company has agreed to adhere to the Interbank Offered Rate Fallbacks Protocol as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. and recommended by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee. The Company further anticipates this ASU will simplify any modifications we executeexecuted between the selected start date (yet to be determined) and December 31, 2022 that are directly related to LIBOR transition by allowing prospective recognition of the continuation of the contract, rather than extinguishment of the old contract resulting in writing off unamortized fees/costs.net deferred fees. The Company is evaluating the impacts ofdoes not expect this ASU and has not yet determined whether LIBOR transition and this ASU willto have a material effectsimpact on its business operations and Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has evaluated these investment securities available for sale as of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 20192020 and determined that any declines in fair value were attributable to changes in interest rates relative to where these investments fall within the yield curve and individual characteristics. Management monitors published credit ratings for adverse changes for all rated investment securities and none of these securities had a below investment grade credit rating as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. In addition, the Company does not intend to sell these securities nor does the Company consider it more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before the recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be upon maturity. Therefore, 0 ACL is necessary. Unrealized losses on investment securities available for sale have not been recognized into earnings because the issuerswas recorded as of bonds are investment grade, the securities carry governmental guarantees, management does not intend to sellMarch 31, 2021 and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the bonds and the fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.December 31, 2020.

(3)Loans Receivable
(a) Loan Origination/Risk Management
The CompanyBank originates loans in the ordinary course of business and has also acquired loans through mergers and acquisitions. Accrued interest receivable was excluded from disclosures presenting the Company'sBank's amortized cost of loans receivable as it was deemed insignificant. Accrued interest receivable on loans totaled $15.6 million and $10.7 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. No ACL on accrued interest receivable was recorded at September 30, 2020.
The CompanyBank categorizes the individual loans in one of the 4 segments of the total loan portfolio:portfolio into 4 segments: commercial business; one-to-four family residential;residential real estate; real estate construction and land development; and consumer. Within these segments are classes of loans for which management monitors and assesses credit risk in the loan portfolios. A detailed description of the portfolio segments and classes is contained in the 20192020 Annual Form 10-K, except for SBA PPP loans. The Bank began originating SBA PPP loans during the three months ended June 30, 2020 following the passage of the CARES Act. SBA PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA, intended for businesses impacted by COVID-19 and designed to provide near term relief to help small businesses sustain operations. These
21


Table of Contents
loans have either a two-year or five-year maturity date and earn interest at 1%. The Bank also earned a fee based on the size of the loan, which is recognized over the life of the loan. The balance of unamortized net deferred fees on SBA PPP loans was $22.0 million at September 30, 2020. The Bank expects that the great majority of SBA PPP borrowers will seek full or partial forgiveness of their loan obligations in accordance with the CARES Act.
The CARES Act also provides temporary relief from the accounting and disclosure requirements for TDRs for certain loan modifications that are the result of a hardship that is related, either directly or indirectly, to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, interagency guidance issued by federal banking regulators and endorsed by the FASB staff has indicated that borrowers who receive relief are not TDRs if they meet qualifying criteria. The Company elected to apply the temporary relief under the CARES Act and related regulatory guidance to certain eligible short-term modifications, and therefore will not treat qualifying loan modifications as TDRs for accounting or disclosure purposes.
The regulatory agencies have also provided guidance regarding credit risk ratings, delinquency reporting and nonaccrual status for loans adversely impacted by COVID-19. The Bank will exercise judgment in determining the risk rating for impacted borrowers and will not automatically adversely classify credits that are affected by COVID-19. The Bank also will not designate loans with payment deferrals granted due to COVID-19 as past due because of the deferral. Due to the short-term nature of the forbearance and other relief programs we are offering as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect that borrowers granted relief under these programs will generally not be reported as nonaccrual during the deferral period.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020, which increased the beginning ACL on loans as discussed in Note (4) Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans.10-K.

(b) Concentrations of Credit
As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, there were 0 concentrations of loans related to any single industry in excess of 10%Most of the Company’s totalBank’s lending activity occurs within its primary market areas which are concentrated along the I-5 corridor from Whatcom County to Clark County in Washington State and Multnomah County and Washington County in Oregon, as well as other contiguous markets and represents a geographic concentration. Additionally, our loan portfolio is concentrated in commercial-type loans, including commercial business loans and commercial and multifamily real estate construction and land development loans.

(c) Credit Quality Indicators
As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’sBank’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to (i) the risk grade of the loans, (ii) the level of classified loans, (iii) net charge-offs, (iv) nonperforming loans, (v) past due status and (v)(vi) the general economic conditions of the United States of America, and specifically the states of Washington and Oregon. The CompanyBank utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each loanof its loans. Loans are graded on a numerical scale of 1 to 10. Risk grades are aggregated to create the risk categories

Table of Contents
of "Pass"Pass for grades 1 to 6, "Special Mention" ("SM")Special Mention or "SM" for grade 7, "Substandard" ("SS")Substandard or "SS" for grade 8, "Doubtful"Doubtful for grade 9 and "Loss"Loss for grade 10. Descriptions of the general characteristics of the risk grades, including qualitative information on how the risk grades relate to the risk of loss, are contained in the 20192020 Annual Form 10-K. There were no loans with a risk grade of doubtful or loss at September 30, 2020.
Numerical loan grades for loans are established at the origination of the loan. Changes to loan grades are considered at the time new information about the performance of a loan becomes available, including the receipt of updated financial information from the borrower, and scheduledresults of annual term loan reviews performed by the Bank's Credit department and scheduled

Table of Contents
loan reviews performed by the Bank’s internal Loan Review department. For consumer loans, the Bank follows the FDIC’s Uniform Retail Credit Classification and Account Management Policy for subsequent classification in the event of payment delinquencies or default. Typically, an individual loan grade will not be changed from the prior period unless there is a specific indication of credit deterioration or improvement. Credit deterioration is evidenced by delinquency, direct communications with the borrower, or other borrower information that becomes known to management. Credit improvements are evidenced by known facts regarding the borrower or the collateral property.
Loan grades relate to the likelihood of losses in that the higher the grade, the greater the loss potential. Loans with a pass grade may have some estimated inherent losses, but to a lesser extent than the other loan grades. The SM loan grade is transitory in that the Bank is waiting on additional information to determine the likelihood and extent of the potential loss. The likelihood of loss for SM graded loans, however, is greater than Watch graded loans because there has been measurable credit deterioration. Loans with a SS grade are generally loans with higher risk of loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. For Doubtful and Loss graded loans, the Bank is almost certain of the losses and the outstanding principal balances are generally charged off to the realizable value.
Regulatory agencies provided guidance regarding credit risk ratings, delinquency reporting and nonaccrual status for loans adversely impacted by COVID-19. The Bank has and will continue to exercise judgment in determining the risk rating for impacted borrowers and will not automatically adversely classify credits that are affected by COVID-19. The Bank also will not designate loans with payment deferrals granted due to COVID-19 as past due because of the deferral. Due to the short-term nature of the forbearance and other relief programs we are offering as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect that borrowers granted relief under these programs will generally not be reported as nonaccrual during the deferral period.

(g) Troubled Debt Restructured Loans
The amortized cost and related ACL on loansmajority of performing and nonaccrualthe Bank’s TDR loans are a result of granting extensions of maturity on troubled credits which have already been adversely classified. The Bank grants such extensions to reassess the borrower’s financial status and to develop a plan for repayment. The second most prevalent concession was the result of COVID Modifications, including payment deferrals and maturity extensions. The Bank has also accommodated re-amortizing loans over a longer period of time. Each of these modifications were a concession for a borrower that could not obtain similar financing terms from another source other than from the Bank.
The financial effects of each modification will vary based on the specific restructure. The Bank has a policy that it does not forgive principal or accrued interest as modified terms. The Bank’s TDR loans are primarily fully amortizing term loans. If the interest rate is not adjusted and the modified terms are consistent with other similar credits being offered, the Bank may not experience any loss associated with the restructure. If, however, the restructure involves interest rate modifications, the Bank may not collect all interest based on the original contractual terms.
The CARES Act, CA Act and regulatory agencies provided guidance around the modification of loans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and outlined, among other criteria, that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as defined by the guidance are not TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g. six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers were considered current if they were less than 30 days past due on the contractual payments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 under the CARES Act and at the time a modification program is implemented under related regulatory guidance. The CA Act extended relief offered under the CARES Act through January 1, 2022 or 60 days after the end of the national emergency declared by the President, whichever is earlier. The Bank elected to apply the temporary relief under the applicable guidance to certain eligible short-term modifications and did not classify the modifications as TDRs for accounting or disclosure purposes. However, COVID Modifications whose payment deferral exceeded 180 days following the loans' initial modification were classified as follows:

The Bank typically grants shorter extension periods to continually monitor these TDR loans despite the fact that the extended date might not be the date the Bank expects sufficient cash flow from these borrowers.

Accrued interest receivable on loans receivable totaled $16.0 million and $15.8 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. It is excluded from the acquisition dates, the amount by which the undiscounted expected cash flowscalculation of the PCIACL on loans exceeded the estimated fair value of the loan was the “accretable yield.” The accretable yield was then measured at each financial reporting date and represented the difference between the remaining undiscounted expected cash flows and the current carrying value of the PCI loans.
The following table summarizes the accretable yieldas interest accrued, but not received, is reversed timely. However, management completed an analysis for an ACL on accrued interest receivable on loans receivable based on the PCIsignificance of loan modifications in accordance with the CARES Act, CA Act and regulatory guidance and concluded no ACL on accrued interest receivable on loans for the threeshould be recorded at March 31, 2021 and nine months ended September 30, 2019:

(4)Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
Effective January 1, 2020, the Bank adopted ASU 2016-13. CECL Adoption replaced the allowance for loan losses with the ACL on loans and replaced the related provision for loan losses with the provision for credit losses on loans. Risk characteristics by segment considered in the CECL methodologymodel are the same as those disclosed in the 20192020 Annual Form 10-K.
The baseline loss rates used to calculate the ACL on loans at January 1, 2020March 31, 2021 utilized the Bank's average quarterly historical loss information from December 31, 2007 through December 31, 2019. The baseline loss rate for the ACL at September 30, 2020 used historical losses beginning December 31, 2012 through the balance sheet date. The Bank updatedThere were no changes to this assumption during the historical loss period as it believes the economic cycle hasthree months ended as evidenced by certain economic forecasts signaling that a recession has started given the prolonged, profound, and pervasive contraction in economic activities due to COVID-19.March 31, 2021. The Bank believes the historic loss rates are viable inputs to the current expected credit loss methodologyCECL model as the Bank's lending practice and business has remained relatively stable throughout the periods. While the Bank's assets have grown, the credit culture has stayed relatively consistent.
Prepayments included in the CECL model at January 1, 2020 and September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 were based on the 48-month rolling historical averages for each segment, which management believes is an accurate representation of

future prepayment activity. There were no changes to this methodologyassumption during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021.
The reasonable and supportable period used in the CECL model at January 1, 2020as of March 31, 2021 was four quarters and was increasedfive quarters. There were no changes to five quarters inthis assumption during the CECL model at September 30, 2020 to include the additional impact of certain macroeconomic factors with lagged periods.three months ended March 31, 2021. Management believes that forecasts beyond this five quarter time period tend to diverge in economic assumptions and may be less comparable to actual future events. As the length of the reasonable and supportable period increases, the degree of judgment involved in estimating the allowance will likely increase.
The Bank used a two quartertwo-quarter reversion period in calculating the ACL on loans as of January 1, 2020 and September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 as it believes the historical loss information is relevant to the expected credit losses and recognizes the declining precision and increasing uncertainty of estimating credit losses in those periods beyond which it can make reasonable and supportable forecasts.
The macroeconomic forecast used in the CECL model as of January 1, 2020 predicted continued economic expansion with steady GDP growth of 1.8% and low unemployment rates of 3.5% in 2020, among other factors. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in identification of an economic recession There were no changes to this assumption during the second quarter of 2020. The macroeconomic forecast used inthree months ended March 31, 2021.
During the CECL model as of September 30, 2020 reflected a slow and long recovery fromthree months ended March 31, 2021, the COVID-19 recession. The modeled recovery is expected to last through the end of 2021, including a contraction in GDP of 3.7% for 2020 and a rebound of 3.7% for 2021, and modest increases in GDP in future years. Unemployment rates are expected to average 8.7% during the remainder of 2020 and gradually reduce to 4.0% by 2025.
The ACL on loans decreased $6.0 million, or 8.5%, due primarily to a reversal of provision for credit losses on loans of $6.1 million following improvements in the economic forecast at September 30,March 31, 2021 as compared to the forecast for the three months ended December 31, 2020 does not includeand secondarily due to a reserve fordecrease in total loans receivable, excluding SBA PPP loans as these loanswhich are fully guaranteed by the SBA.SBA and not provisioned for in the ACL on loans.

The Bank recognized net charge-offs of $2.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily due to a commercial and industrial charge-off of $1.7 million related to a lending relationship that had been experiencing difficulties. Due to issues surrounding the control of the underlying loan collateral, the Bank determined it appropriate to charge-off the entire balance and pursue an aggressive collection strategy. Net charge-offs also included two commercial and industrial loan relationships totaling $447,000 as a result of impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic and small dollar net charge-offs on a large volume of consumer loans of $708,000. Net charge-offs were offset partially by a full recovery of a commercial and industrial agricultural lending relationship of $963,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which was charged-off during the three months ended December 31, 2019.
The provision for credit losses on loans of $38.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was necessary to build the allowance to account for the current and forecasted economic conditions amidst COVID-19, including the credit losses estimated on collectively and individually evaluated loans.

(6)Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
(a) Goodwill
The Company’s goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in the following mergers: Premier Commercial Bancorp on July 2, 2018;and Puget Sound Bancorp on January 16,in 2018; Washington Banking Company on May 1,in 2014; Valley Community Bancshares on July 15,in 2013; Western Washington Bancorp in 2006 and North Pacific Bank in 1998. The Company’s goodwill is assigned to the Bank and is evaluated for impairment at the Bank level (reporting unit).
There were no additions to goodwill during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and 2019.2020.
Management analyzes its goodwill on an annual basis on December 31 and between annual tests in certain circumstances such as material adverse changes in legal, business, regulatory and economic factors. An impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The Company performed itsan annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2019 and determined based on its Step 1 analysis that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value, such that the Company's goodwill was 0t considered impaired. Due to the deteriorating financial market and economic conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined a triggering event occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and consequently performed a quantitative assessment of goodwill as of MayDecember 31, 2020. Management estimated the fair value of the reporting unit by weighting results from the market approach and the income approach. Significant assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies for goodwill were employed and included, but were not limited to, prospective financial information, growth rates, terminal value, discount rates, and comparable multiples from publicly traded companies in our industry. Based on this quantitative test, management determined that the fair value of the reporting unit more likely than not exceeded the carrying value.
At September 30, 2020 the Company completed its qualitative assessment of goodwill and concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value. Changes in the economic environment, operations of the reporting unit or other adverse events could result in future impairment charges which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operating results.there was no impairment.

(12)Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received forto sell 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 onat the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
Level 1: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, or interest in open-end mutual funds that allow the Company to sell its ownership interest back to the fund at net asset value on a daily basis. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets, liabilities, or funds.
28


Table of Contents
Level 2: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or valuations using methodologies with observable inputs.
Level 3: Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, such as option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques using unobservable inputs, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

(a) Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to measure the fair value of certain assets on a recurring and nonrecurring basis:
Investment Securities Available for Sale:
The fair values of all investment securities are based upon the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the security. If available, fair values of investment securities are determined by quoted market prices (Level 1). For investment securities where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices on similar securities (Level 2). For investment securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated by using observable and unobservable inputs such as discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Security valuations are obtained from third partythird-party pricing services for comparable assets or liabilities.services.
Collateral-Dependent Loans:
Collateral-dependent loans are identified as part of the calculation of the ACL on loans. The fair value used to measure credit loss for this type of loan is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals which are generally obtained at least every 18 months or earlier if there are changes to risk characteristics of the underlying loan. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. The Bank also incorporates an estimate of cost to sell the collateral when the sale is probable. Such adjustments are usuallymay be significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value based on the borrower’s financial statements or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation and management’s expertise and knowledge of the customer and customer’s business (Level 3). Individually evaluated loans are evaluatedanalyzed for credit loss on a quarterly basis and the ACL on loans is adjusted as required based inon the evaluation.
Other Real Estate Owned:
Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair

Appraisals for bothon collateral-dependent loans and other real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers for commercial properties or certified residential appraisers for residential properties whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company.Bank. Once received, the CompanyBank reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. On a quarterly basis, the Company compares the actual selling price of collateral that has been liquidated to the most recent appraised value to determine what additional adjustment should be made to the appraisal value to arrive at fair value.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
The CompanyBank obtains broker or dealer quotes to value its interest rate derivative contracts, which use valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2), and incorporates credit valuation adjustments to reflect nonperformance risk in the measurement of fair value (Level 3). Although the Bank has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate swap derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as borrower risk ratings, to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. As of September 30,March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Bank assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustment on the overall valuation of its interest rate swap derivatives and determined that the credit valuation adjustment was not significant to the overall valuation of its interest rate swap derivatives. As a result, the Bank has classified its interest rate swap derivative valuations in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Bank did not recognize a credit
Branches held for sale:
Branches held for sale are recorded at fair value less costs to sell when transferred from Premises and equipment, net to Prepaid expenses and other assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition with any valuation adjustment recorded within Other noninterest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value of branches held for sale is determined based on a real estate appraisal or broker price opinion.

Nonrecurring Basis
The Company may be required to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
The following tables below represent assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and the net losses recorded in earnings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:dates indicated:

(b) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Broadly traded markets do not exist for most of the Company’s financial instrumentsinstruments; therefore, the fair value calculations attempt to incorporate the effect of current market conditions at a specific time. These determinations are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and do not include tax ramifications; therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision, substantiated by comparison to independent markets and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the instruments. There may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results. For all of these reasons, the aggregation of the fair value calculations presented herein do not represent, and should not be construed to represent, the underlying value of the Company.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. The information contained in this section should be read with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes included herein, the Forward Looking Statements included herein the Risk Factors included herein, and the December 31, 20192020 audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes included in our 20192020 Annual Form 10-K.

Overview
Heritage Financial Corporation is a bank holding company which primarily engages in the business activities of our wholly-owned financial institution subsidiary, Heritage Bank. We provide financial services to our local communities with an ongoing strategic focus on our commercial banking relationships, market expansion and asset quality. At September 30, 2020, we had total assets of $6.69 billion, total liabilities of $5.88 billion and total stockholders’ equity of $803.1 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 forth in this report relates primarily to the Bank’s operations.
Our business consists primarily of commercial lending and deposit relationships with small to medium sized businesses and their owners in our market areas and attracting deposits from the general public. We also make real estate construction and land development loans and consumer loans. We additionally originate for sale or for investment purposes one-to-four family residential real estate loans on residentialsingle family properties located primarily in our markets. During the quarterthree months ended March 31, 2020, we ceased indirect auto loan originations.
Our core profitability depends primarily on our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, which is the income that we earn on interest earning assets, comprised primarily of loans and investment securities, and interest expense, which is the amount we pay on our interest bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. Management strives to match the repricing characteristics of the Company's interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities to protect net interest income from changes in market interest rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve. Like most financial institutions, our net interest income is affected significantly by general and local economic conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, and by governmental policies and actions of regulatory agencies. Net interest income is additionally affected by changes on the volume and mix of interest earning assets, interest earned on these assets, the volume and mix of interest bearing liabilities and interest paid on these liabilities.
Because the length of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of the extraordinary measures being put in place to address its economic consequences are unknown, including the 150 basis point reduction in the targeted federal funds rate during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, until the pandemic subsides, the Company expects its net interest income and net interest margin will be adversely affected in the near term, if not longer.
Our net income is affected by many factors, including the provision for credit losses on loans. The provision for credit losses on loans 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 ACL on loans was impacted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to the CECL Adoption, which estimates losses over the life of the loans as compared to prior GAAP which required estimating incurred losses as of period end, and by forecasted credit deterioration due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as discussed in the COVID-19 Impact section below. Management believes that the ACL on loans reflects the amount that is appropriate to provide for current expected credit losses in our loan portfolio based on our consistent methodology.
Net income is also affected by noninterest income and noninterest expense. Noninterest income primarily consists of service charges and other fees and other income. Noninterest expense consists primarily of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing and professional services. Compensation and employee benefits consist primarily of the salaries and wages paid to our employees, payroll taxes, expenses for retirement and other employee benefits. Occupancy and equipment expenses are the fixed and variable costs of buildings and equipment, and consists primarily of lease expenses, depreciation charges, maintenance and utilities. Data processing consists primarily of processing and network services related to the Bank’s core operating system, including the account processing system, electronic payments processing of
46


Table of Contents
products and services, and internet and mobile banking channels.channels as well as software-as-a-service providers. Professional services consists primarily of third party service providers, such as consultants, and software-as-a-service providers, and legal fees.
Results of operations may also be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities.authorities, especially changes resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and the governmental actions taken to address it. Net income is also impacted by growth of operations and growth in the number of loan and deposit accounts through acquisitions and core banking business growth.

COVID-19 Impact
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in an effort to mitigate the adverse impact on our employees, customers and the communities we serve, the Bank has implemented various lending measures to address customer and community needs, including commercial, mortgage and consumer lending assistance. The Bank has also implemented various retail-impacting measures for the safety and health of customers and employees. The following provides details of the Bank's special programs and policies.
Commercial Lending Assistance
The Bank has made available the following initial short-term relief options to commercial borrowers affected by COVID-19:
Interest only payments on term debt for up to 90 days;
Temporary increases to line of credit commitments when supported by underlying assets, including changing the borrowing base formula or changing existing commitment restrictions to allow higher advance rates;
Full payment deferrals for up to 90 days when an interest only period does not provide sufficient relief (contingent on credit administration approval);
Loan re-amortization, especially in cases where significant prepayments of principal have occurred;
Covenant waivers and resets;
Processing new loan requests, such as a line of credit for working capital support;
Maturity extensions of up to 90 days for maturing lines of credit or term loans.
The Bank has implemented a special, streamlined initial 90-day interest only payment modification process for borrowers in certain industries as a result of the COVID-19 "stay at home" orders.
Based on the depth and breadth of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank will extend similar relief options for a subsequent or second modification to certain commercial borrowers. The Bank has a preference for offering interest only payments on these secondary modifications. The Bank has determined that in most instances, a request for a third payment deferral modification will be considered a TDR loan instead of a modification as the Bank incorporated policies consistent with regulatory guidance.
The Bank will work constructively with commercial borrowers to identify loan modifications that are based on the facts and circumstances of each borrower, and to protect the safety and soundness of the Bank.
All commercial loans modified due to COVID-19 will be risk rated "Watch" or worse, except in certain cases where a borrower has performed well prior to the modification request and exhibits a strong financial position, or the loan has significant guarantor support, or if more severe risk rating is determined appropriate given facts and circumstances of the borrower. Further requests for relief beyond the initial modification will be reassessed for a more severe risk rating as part of the review process to grant further relief.
Mortgage and Consumer Lending Assistance
In order to effectively manage or mitigate adverse impacts on mortgage and consumer borrowers affected by COVID-19, the Bank has implemented the initial relief action through a streamlined approval process to include 90-day payment deferrals when the borrower meets the following criteria:
The borrower's ability to pay has been negatively impacted by COVID-19;
The loan is not over 30 days past due on the date of the request; and
The loan is risk rated "Pass" prior to the request for payment deferral.
Mortgage and consumer loans that do not meet the criteria to receive streamlined approval qualifications are considered outside of the automatic deferral process and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the Bank's credit team. Certain consumer term loans with current balances over $100,000 with original terms over 96 months will also be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and will not qualify for the streamlined approval process. For consumer lines of credit, for borrowers that have sufficient available credit on their line, the borrower can draw on their line of credit to make payments in lieu of payment deferrals, and for borrowers that do not have sufficient available credit, the Bank will offer a 90-day payment deferral. However, after the deferral period these borrowers
4734


Table of Contents
will be billed for the deferred months of accrued interest and the Bank will work with those borrowers unable to pay all months of interest at that time. For credit card customers, a skip payment option was included in the borrowers' billing statements between April 1, 2020 and May 30, 2020.
Based on the depth and breadth of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank will extend similar relief options for a subsequent or second modification to certain consumer borrowers. The Bank has a preference for offering interest only payments, or partial principal and interest payments, on these secondary modifications.
All mortgage and consumer loans modified via the initial streamlined process due to COVID-19 will remain risk rated "Pass" through the initial 90-day relief period. This risk rating is subject to change should the Bank receive additional information within the 90-day relief period that the borrower does not intend to repay the loan, which may result in a risk rating downgrade and the implementation of further collection efforts. The risk rating will be reviewed for a more severe classification for any secondary modification request.
Borrowers under COVID-19 related deferral programs will not have negative data reported to the credit reporting agencies. Credit reporting will not be turned off on these accounts, but contractual due dates will be advanced in the core loan system with appropriate loan documentation to legally support the new due dates.

COVID-19 Modifications:
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and as a direct result of COVID-19 related issues cited by the borrower and the Bank's lending assistance programs described above, the Bank made modifications on loans. These modifications were not classified as TDRs at September 30, 2020 in accordance with the CARES Act and related regulatory guidance.Pandemic Response

SBA Paycheck Protection Program
Beginning April 6, 2020, the Bank began to offer SBA PPP loans to its existing and new customers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. SBA PPP loans are designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll. The CARES Act and its subsequent amendments allocated $669.0 billion to the program. Utilizing our internal technology solutions team, the Bank was able to develop an automated platform to control and manage processing for SBA PPP loans and immediately began originations under this program. The

Bank accepted applications for SBA PPP loans, including loans to independent contractors, sole proprietors and partnerships as allowed under the guidance from the U.S. Treasury and SBA that was issued April 14, 2020.
The SBA's PPP program ended on August 8, 2020 and the Bank funded 4,642 loans totaling $897.4 million during the program's existence. The average loan balance for funded loans was $193,000. Of the funded loans, approximately 21% of both the number of loans funded and amount originated were to customers with no prior banking relationship to the Bank.
The Bank earns 1% interest on these loans as well as a fee from the SBA to cover processing costs, which is amortized over the life of the loan. The balance of unamortized net deferred fees on SBA PPP loans was $22.0 million at September 30, 2020.
Additionally, the Federal Reserve established the PPPLF under Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act to bolster the effectiveness of the SBA's PPP. Under the PPPLF, the Bank may pledge its PPP loans as collateral at face value to obtain Federal Reserve Bank non-recourse loans. The maturity date of any PPPLF advance (the “Maturity Date”) will be the maturity date of the PPP loan pledged to secure the PPPLF advance. The Maturity Date of any PPPLF advance will be accelerated on and to the extent of (i) the date of any loan forgiveness reimbursement by the SBA for any PPP loan securing the PPPLF advance; or (ii) the date of purchase by the SBA from the Bank of any PPP loan securing the PPPLF loan advance to realize on the SBA’s guarantee of the PPP loan. PPPLF advances may be obtained until December 31, 2020. Although the Bank was approved to utilize the PPPLF, the Bank has chosen not to participate during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The Bank will begin processing loan forgiveness applications, as allowed under the SBA's PPP during the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

SBA Relief
Heritage is an active SBA lender in the Pacific Northwest and had SBA loans totaling $64.8 million and $64.1 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Heritage participated in the SBA's Debt Relief Program under the CARES Act. The CARES Act appropriated $17.0 billion to subsidize small business loans. Under this program, the SBA will pay principal and interest for existing current SBA loans for a period of six months, commencing with payments due after March 27, 2020 as well as new SBA 7(a), 504, and microloans disbursed prior to September 27, 2020.
Under this program, the borrowers will not have to reimburse the SBA or the Bank for these payments. If a borrower had already requested a payment deferral, and the deferral was granted, the six month period begins after the deferment period. There is no limitation to the monthly principal and interest amount that the SBA will pay on behalf of the borrower. The borrower can also make other principal-only payments during the six month period.
The Bank did not consider any loans for which the SBA was making the principal and interest payment as a loan with COVID-19 modification as only the source of payment was changed and not the payment terms of the SBA loan.

Retail Policy Changes
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions to the Bank's operations and resulted in the implementation by the Bank of various social distancing measures to address customer and community needs.
Branch Lobby Closures. To ensure the safety of our customers and employees, most branch lobbies were closed in March 2020 with most services processed through the drive-up or by appointment. On June 22, 2020, management elected to open lobbies for its three branches located within Island County, which has moved into Phase 3 as part of Washington State's Phased Approach: Reopening Business and Modifying Physical Distancing Measures, of which the fourth phase is the least restrictive phase ahead of a full reopening. Management believes this initial and limited approach in Island County will provide valuable insights on how to effectively implement the Bank's safety precautions and to better understand any risks or changes that will need to be addressed before considering opening other locations.
Early Withdrawal Penalty Waivers. For customers that may need access to funds in their certificate of deposits to assist with living expenses during the COVID-19 pandemic the Bank will assist these customers by waiving early withdrawal penalties for withdrawals up to $25,000.
Overdraft & Fee Reversals. Overdraft and fee reversals are waivedremains focused on a case-by-case basis. The Bank is cautious when paying overdrafts beyond the customer's total deposit relationship, overdraft protection options or their overdraft coverage limits.

COVID Modifications
The Company continues to accommodate a variety of loan modifications under the CARES Act, CA Act and related regulatory guidance as a direct result of COVID-19 pandemic issues impacting these borrowers. At March 31, 2021, approximately 67 loans totaling $46.7 million were in payment deferral modification status compared to 177 loans totaling $92.5 million at December 31, 2020.

SBA Paycheck Protection Program
On April 6, 2020, the Bank began to offer SBA PPP1 loans to its existing and new customers as a result of provisions in the CARES Act for customers directly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bank earns 1% interest on these loans as well as a fee from the SBA to cover processing costs, which is amortized over the life of the loan. The Bank began processing loan forgiveness applications and receiving SBA PPP1 loan forgiveness payments during the three months ended December 31, 2020.
The CA Act extended the SBA's PPP with a second tranche of funding beginning in 2021 and effective until May 31, 2021. As a result, the Bank began originating SBA PPP2 loans starting in January 2021.

Nonaccrual Loans.    Nonaccrual loans increased $8.1 million to $52.6 million, or 1.13% of loans receivable at September 30, 2020 from $44.5 million, or 1.18% of loans receivable at December 31, 2019. The increase was due primarily to the addition of $19.6 million of loans that were previously modified under the CARES Act and related regulatory guidance and exhibited a continued decline in credit quality, warranting transfer to nonaccrual status. Within these additions were three commercial lending relationships totaling $17.4 million, including a parking facility, a hotel, and a group of restaurants under common ownership. The Bank is actively working with the borrowers to secure a positive resolution. These additions to nonaccrual loans were offset partially by a principal payment on a significant agricultural lending relationship of $7.8 million and the full payoff of a commercial business relationship of $2.3 million.

Potential Problem Loans
Potential Problem Loansproblem loa. Potential problem loans ns are loans risk rated special mentionclassified as SM or worse that are not classified as a TDR or nonaccrual loan and are not individually evaluated for credit loss, but which management is closely monitoring because the financial information of the borrower causes concern as to their ability to meet their loan repayment terms. Potential problem loans increased $72.0This classification of loans decreased $18.5 million, or 82.0%10.2%, to $159.8 million at September 30, 2020 compared to $87.8 million at December 31, 2019 primarily attributed to risk classification downgrades related to COVID-19. Included in the balance of potential problem loans at September 30, 2020 are $71.4 million of loans that were modified under the CARES Act, including $20.3 million in active payment modification deferral status at September 30, 2020, and $35.4 million that were downgraded due to COVID-19. Loans with COVID-19 issues were classified as potential problem loans if additional factors were identified to cause a more severe risk grade than watch. At September 30, 2020, loans totaling $102.4 million and $57.3 million were rated special mention and substandard, respectively. The increase in potential problem loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was offset partially by net principal payments of $23.0 million, including payment in full of $11.8 million and by transfers of loans to nonaccrual and TDR status.2020.

Analysis of Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
Effective January 1, 2020,CECL Adoption, by which the Bank adopted ASU 2016-13. The adoption replaced the allowance for loan losses with the ACL on loans on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and replaced the related provision for loan losses with the provision for credit losses on loans on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Management has adopted a historic loss, open pool CECL methodology to calculate the ACL on loans.loans, was effective January 1, 2020. The same methodology is applied to all loans consistent with the guidance of the accounting standard which does not require undue complexity. Under this allowance approach, the CompanyBank has identified segments of loans with similar risk characteristics that align with its identified loan classes. Nonaccrual loans and certain performing TDR loans are not considered to have similar torisk characteristics as other loans; therefore, they are evaluated for credit loss on an individual basis. The allowance for individually evaluated loans is calculated using either the collateral value method, which considers the likely source of repayment as the value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell if applicable, or the net present value method, which considers the contractual principal and interest terms and estimated cash flows available from the borrower to satisfy the debt.
For each loan segment collectively measured, baseline loss rates are separately calculated using the Bank's average quarterly historical loss information. The baseline loss rates are applied to each loan's estimated cash flows over the life of the loan under the remaining life method, including prepayment estimates, to determine the baseline loss estimate for each loan. The CECL methodology also includes consideration of the forecasted direction of the economic and business environment and its likely impact to the estimated allowance as compared to the historical losses over the reasonable and supportable time frame. The impact of those macroeconomic factors to each segment, positive or negative, using the reasonable and supportable period, are added to the calculated baseline loss rate.rate and are used to establish a macroeconomic allowance. After the reasonable and supportable period, the estimated credit losses are revertedrevert back to historical baseline loss levels under a reversion period on a

The ACL on loans increased $37.2decreased $6.0 million, or 102.8%8.5%, to $73.3$64.2 million at September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 from $36.2$70.2 millionat December 31, 2019, and increased $35.3 million, or 93.0%, from2020. The decrease in the adjusted beginning balanceACL on loans was due primarily to a reversal of $38.0 million. The increase in ACL was primarily the result of the provision for credit losses on loans of $38.2$6.1 million recognized recorded during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020 due primarily to forecasted credit deterioration reflectingMarch 31, 2021 following improvements in the economic conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The macroeconomic forecast used in the CECL model at March 31, 2021 as of January 1, 2020 predicted continued economic expansion with steady GDP growth of 1.8% and low unemployment rates of 3.5% in 2020, among other factors. The onset ofcompared to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in identification of an economic recession during the second quarter of 2020. The macroeconomic forecast used in the CECL model as of September 30, 2020 reflected a slow and long recovery from the COVID-19 recession. The modeled recovery is expected to last through the end of 2021, including a contraction in GDP of 3.7% forat December 31, 2020 and a rebound of 3.7% for 2021, and modest increases in GDP in future years. Unemployment rates are expected to average 8.7% during the remainder of 2020 and gradually reduce to 4.0% by 2025.

Due to issues surrounding the control of the underlying loan collateral, the Bank determined it appropriate to charge-off the entire balance and pursue an aggressive collection strategy. Charge-offs also included two commercial and industrial loan relationships totaling $447,000 as a result of impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic and small dollar charge-offs on a large volume of consumer loans of $1.1 million. The Company recorded recoveries of $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily due to the full recovery of an agricultural lending relationship of $963,000 which was charged-off during the three months ended December 31, 2019 and small dollar recoveries on a large volume of consumer loans of $433,000.
Based on the Bank's established comprehensive CECL methodology, management deemed the ACL on loans of $73.3 million (1.57%at March 31, 2021 equal to 1.40% of loans receivable and 139.42%121.48% of nonperforming loans) at September 30, 2020loans is appropriate to provide for current expected creditcredit losses in the loan portfolio. This compares to an allowance for loan losses of $36.2 million (0.96%The ACL on loans was 1.57% of loans receivable and 81.24%120.82% of nonperforming loans)loans at December 31, 2019 under the incurred loss methodology.2020.
While we believe we useused the best information available to determine the ACL on loans, our results of operations could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in determining the allowance. A further decline in national and local economic conditions, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or other factors, could result in a material increase in the ACL on loans and may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of the ACL on loans is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of their routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of an additional ACL on loans based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. Because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing ACL on loans is appropriate or that increased provisions will not be necessary should the quality of the loans deteriorate. Any material increase in the ACL on loans wouldcould adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Our strategy has been to acquire non-maturity deposits from our retail customers, acquire noninterest bearing demand deposits from our commercial customers, and use our available borrowing capacity to fund growth in assets. We anticipate that we will continue to rely on the Bank has chosen notsame sources of funds in the future and use those funds primarily to participate during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.originate loans and purchase investment securities.

Liquidity and Cash Flows
Our primary sources of funds are customer and local government deposits;deposits, loan principal and interest payments; maturities, calls,payments, loan sales and payments of investment securities including related interest earned;earned on and proceeds from sales and maturities of investment securities. These funds, together with retained earnings, equity and other borrowed funds, are used to make loans, acquire investment securities and other assets, and fund continuing operations. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and investments are a predictable sourcessource of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
Heritage Bank: The principal objective of the Bank’s liquidity management program is to maintain the ability to meet day-to-day cash flow requirements of its customers who either wish to withdraw funds or to draw upon credit facilities to meet their cash needs.

The Company considers presenting the results determinedratio of ACL on loans to loans receivable, excluding SBA PPP loans, to be a useful measurement in accordance with GAAP, norevaluating the adequacy of the Company's ACL on loans as the balance of SBA PPP loans is significant to the loan portfolio, and since SBA PPP loans are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measuresguaranteed by the SBA, the Company has not provided an ACL on loans for SBA PPP loans.

ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to interest rate risk through our lending and deposit gathering activities. Our results of operations are highly dependent upon our ability to manage interest rate risk. We consider interest rate risk to be a significant market risk that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Interest rate risk is measured and assessed on a quarterly basis.

As In our opinion, there has not been a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,material change in our interest rate risk exposure has changed since the information disclosed in our 20192020 Annual Form 10-K. The following table presents the change in our net interest income as a result of parallel rate shock scenarios presented in the periods after the dates shown:

Year 2$(7,172)$(15,178)

These scenarios are based on interest rates as of the last day of a reporting period published by independent sources and incorporate relevant spread of instruments that are actively traded in the open market. Given that the short-term rates have declined during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we do not believe that the result of the "Down 200" analysis provide meaningful results and have been excluded. For the "Down 100" scenario, the Bank's modeling assumption is that all deposit rates are floored to one or two basis points and new loan production is recalibrated to incorporate a chosen net interest spread over index. The simulations used to manage market risk are based on numerous assumptions regarding the effect of changes in interest rates on the timing and extent of reprice characteristics, future cash flows and customer behavior. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market condition, customer behavior and management strategies, among other factors.

ITEM 4.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedureprocedures (as defined in Section 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the Company’s Disclosure Committee as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also 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. Based on their evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Effective January 1, 2020, Heritage adopted FASB ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments: Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended. The Company designed new

controls and modified existing controls as part of its adoption. These additional controls over financial reporting included controls over model creation and design, model governance, assumptions and expanded controls over loan level data.
There have been no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company does not expect that its internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all 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 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 also 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; 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.

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I. Item 1A of the Company’s 20192020 Annual Form 10-K related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The following provides a discussion of certain risks that management believes are specific to our business as a result of the COVD-19 pandemic.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely impacted certain industries in which our customers operate and may impair their ability to fulfill their obligations to us. Further, the spread of the outbreak has disrupted banking and other financial activity in the areas in which we operate, and could lead to an economic recession or other additional severe disruptions in the U.S. economy, and could potentially create business continuity issues for us.
The COVID-19 pandemic started to cause major economic disruption and volatility as a result of governmental mandates (e.g., “shelter in place” mandates, school closures) and voluntary changes in consumer behavior (e.g., “social distancing”) in March 2020. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic. Since the termination of the shelter in place orders in our market areas and phased re-opening of business, the Company has taken steps to resume more normal branch activities with specific guidelines in place to ensure the safety of the Company’s customers and personnel. As of September 30, 2020, all of our branch lobbies remain closed since March 2020 with most services processed through the drive-up or by appointment, except three branches located within Island County which are operating with an open lobby.
Although shelter in place orders have terminated, currently a portion of our employees are working remotely to enable us to continue to provide banking services to our customers. Heightened cybersecurity, information security and operational risks may result from these work-from-home arrangements. We also could be adversely affected if key personnel or a significant number of employees were to become unavailable due to the effects and restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, we also rely upon our third-party vendors to conduct business and to process, record, and monitor transactions. If any of these vendors are unable to continue to provide us with these services, it could negatively impact our ability to serve our customers. Although we have business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, there is no assurance that such plans and safeguards will be effective.
There is pervasive uncertainty surrounding the future economic conditions that will emerge in the months and years following the start of the pandemic. As a result, management is confronted with a significant and unfamiliar degree of uncertainty in estimating the impact of the pandemic on its credit quality, revenues and asset
76

values. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in declines in loan demand and loan originations other than through government sponsored programs such as the SBA's Payroll Protection Program, deposit availability, market interest rates and negatively impacted many of our business and consumer borrower’s ability to make their loan payments. Because the length of the pandemic and the efficacy of the extraordinary measures being put in place to address its economic consequences are unknown, including the continued low targeted federal funds rate, until the pandemic subsides, we expect our net interest income and net interest margin will be adversely affected in the near term, if not longer. Many of our borrowers have become unemployed or may face unemployment, and certain businesses are at risk of insolvency as revenues declined precipitously, especially in businesses related to travel, hospitality, leisure, and physical personal services. Businesses may ultimately not reopen as there is a significant level of uncertainty regarding the level of economic activity that will return to the Pacific Northwest region over time, the impact of governmental assistance, the speed of economic recovery, the resurgence of COVID-19 in subsequent seasons and changes to demographic and social norms that will take place.
The impact of the pandemic is expected to continue to adversely affect us during 2020 as the ability of many of our customers to make loan payments has been significantly affected. Although the Company has made estimates of credit losses related to the pandemic as part of its evaluation of the ACL on loans, such estimates involve significant judgment and are made in the context of significant uncertainty as to the impact that the pandemic will have on the credit quality of our loan portfolio. The extent of the economic impact of the pandemic is also impossible to determine with certainty at this time as it is partly dependent on a still evolving virus. Accordingly, estimates of the pandemic's effect on credit losses could change over time as additional information becomes available. If our estimates are incorrect, our ACL on loans may not be sufficient to cover losses in our loan portfolio, resulting in the need for increases in our ACL on loans through the provision for credit losses which is recorded and charged against income. Any increases in the ACL on loans will result in a decrease in net income and, most likely, capital, and may have a material negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
As of September 30, 2020, we hold and service a portfolio of SBA PPP loans totaling $867.8 million. The SBA PPP loans are subject to the provisions of the CARES Act as well as complex and evolving rules and guidance issued by the SBA and other government agencies.We expect that the great majority of our SBA PPP borrowers will seek full or partial forgiveness of their loan obligations.We could face additional risks in our administrative capabilities to service our SBA PPP loans, and risk with respect to the determination of loan forgiveness, depending on the final procedures for determining loan forgiveness.
In addition to SBA PPP loans, the Company is providing assistance to commercial business loan borrowers in response to the economic disruption caused by COVID-19 by offering short-term modifications such as interest only payments, payment deferrals, loan re-amortization, and increases of lines of credit. Also, the Company is assisting mortgage and consumer loan borrowers by offering short-term modifications for payment deferrals when the borrower meets certain criteria, or on a case-by-case analysis.Notwithstanding these modifications, these borrowers may not be able to resume making full payments on their loans once the COVID-19 pandemic is resolved. If the economic disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic continues for several months or worsens, it may result in increased loan delinquencies, adversely classified loans and loan charge-offs. As a result, our ACL on loans may prove to be insufficient to absorb losses in our loan portfolio, which would cause our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition to be adversely affected.
Further, given the widespread level of disruption to commercial and consumer activity due to COVID-19, the Company decided to adopt certain measures to assist its deposit customers in affected areas. These measures include the waiver of certain fees and charges, such as early withdrawal penalties for certificates of deposit and overdrafts, and while important to assist our customers, these concessions will negatively impact our results of operations.
In accordance with GAAP, we record assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value with the excess of the purchase consideration over the net assets acquired resulting in the recognition of goodwill. If adverse economic conditions or the recent decrease in our stock price and market capitalization as a result of the pandemic were to be deemed sustained rather than temporary, it may significantly affect the fair value of our goodwill and may trigger impairment charges. Any impairment charge could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
We are an entity separate and distinct from our principal subsidiary, Heritage Bank, and derive substantially all of our revenue at the holding company level in the form of dividends from that subsidiary. If the COVID-19 pandemic were to materially adversely affect Heritage Bank’s regulatory capital levels or liquidity, it may result in Heritage Bank being unable to pay dividends to us, which may result in our not being able to pay dividends on our common stock at the same rate or at all.

Even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, the U.S. economy may experience a recession, and we anticipate our business would be materially and adversely affected by a prolonged recession. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.10-K.
