Loan Receivable | Loans Receivable The Company originates loans in the ordinary course of business and has also acquired loans through mergers and acquisitions. Disclosures related to the Company's recorded investment in loans receivable generally exclude accrued interest receivable and net deferred fees or costs as they were deemed insignificant. (a) Loan Origination/Risk Management The Company categorizes loans in one of the four segments of the total loan portfolio: commercial business, one-to-four family residential, 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. The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming and criticized loans. The Company also conducts internal loan reviews and validates the credit risk assessment on a periodic basis and presents the results of these reviews to management. The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by loan officers and credit personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures. A discussion of the risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment is as follows: Commercial Business : There are three significant classes of loans in the commercial business portfolio segment: commercial and industrial, owner-occupied commercial real estate and non-owner occupied commercial real estate. The owner and non-owner occupied commercial real estate classes are both considered commercial real estate loans. As the commercial and industrial loans carry different risk characteristics than the commercial real estate loans, they are discussed separately below. Commercial and industrial. Commercial and industrial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may include a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers. Commercial and industrial loans carry more risk than other loans because the borrowers’ cash flow is less predictable, and in the event of a default, the amount of loss is potentially greater and more difficult to quantify because the value of the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate, may be uncollectible, or may be obsolete or of limited use, among other things. Commercial real estate. The Company originates commercial real estate loans primarily within its primary market areas. These loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and industrial loans in that these loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate properties. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and payments on loans, and repayment is dependent on successful operation and management of the properties. The value of the real estate securing these loans can be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate market or the economy. There is little difference in risk between owner-occupied commercial real estate loans and non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans. One-to-Four Family Residential : The majority of the Company’s one-to-four family residential loans are secured by single-family residences located in its primary market areas. The Company’s underwriting standards require that single-family portfolio loans generally are owner-occupied and do not exceed 80% of the lower of appraised value at origination or cost of the underlying collateral. Terms of maturity typically range from 15 to 30 years. The Company sells most of its single-family loans in the secondary market and retains a smaller portion in its loan portfolio. Real Estate Construction and Land Development : The Company originates construction loans for one-to-four family residential and for five or more family residential and commercial properties. The one-to-four family residential construction loans generally include construction of custom homes whereby the home buyer is the borrower. The Company also provides financing to builders for the construction of pre-sold homes and, in selected cases, to builders for the construction of speculative residential property. Substantially all construction loans are short-term in nature and priced with variable rates of interest. Construction lending can involve a higher level of risk than other types of lending because funds are advanced partially based upon the value of the project, which is uncertain prior to the project’s completion. Because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating construction costs as well as the market value of a completed project and the effects of governmental regulation of real property, the Company’s estimates with regard to the total funds required to complete a project and the related loan-to-value ratio may vary from actual results. As a result, construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the ultimate project and the ability of the borrower to sell or lease the property or refinance the indebtedness. If the Company’s estimate of the value of a project at completion proves to be overstated, it may have inadequate security for repayment of the loan and may incur a loss if the borrower does not repay the loan. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being dependent upon successful completion of the construction project, interest rate changes, government regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing. Consumer : The Company originates consumer loans and lines of credit that are both secured and unsecured. The underwriting process for these loans ensures a qualifying primary and secondary source of repayment. Underwriting standards for home equity loans are significantly influenced by statutory requirements, which include, but are not limited to, a maximum loan-to-value percentage of 80% , collection remedies, the number of such loans a borrower can have at one time and documentation requirements. To monitor and manage consumer loan risk, policies and procedures are developed and modified, as needed. The majority of consumer loans are for relatively small amounts disbursed among many individual borrowers which reduces the credit risk for this type of loan. To further reduce the risk, trend reports are reviewed by management on a regular basis. The Company also originates indirect consumer loans. These loans are for new and used automobile and recreational vehicles that are originated indirectly by selected dealers located in the Company's market areas. The Company has limited its purchase of indirect loans primarily to dealerships that are established and well-known in their market areas and to applicants that are not classified as sub-prime. Loans receivable at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 consisted of the following portfolio segments and classes: December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 (In thousands) Commercial business: Commercial and industrial $ 853,606 $ 645,396 Owner-occupied commercial real estate 779,814 622,150 Non-owner occupied commercial real estate 1,304,463 986,594 Total commercial business 2,937,883 2,254,140 One-to-four family residential 101,763 86,997 Real estate construction and land development: One-to-four family residential 102,730 51,985 Five or more family residential and commercial properties 112,730 97,499 Total real estate construction and land development 215,460 149,484 Consumer 395,545 355,091 Gross loans receivable 3,650,651 2,845,712 Net deferred loan costs 3,509 3,359 Loans receivable, net 3,654,160 2,849,071 Allowance for loan losses (35,042 ) (32,086 ) Total loans receivable, net $ 3,619,118 $ 2,816,985 (b) Concentrations of Credit Most of the Company’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. The majority of the Company’s loan portfolio consists of (in order of balances at December 31, 2018 ) non-owner occupied commercial real estate, commercial and industrial and owner-occupied commercial real estate. As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , there were no concentrations of loans related to any single industry in excess of 10% of the Company’s total loans. (c) Credit Quality Indicators As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’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 and (v) the general economic conditions of the United States of America, and specifically the states of Washington and Oregon. The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 10. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades is as follows: • Grades 1 to 5: These grades are considered “pass grade” and include loans with negligible to above average but acceptable risk. These borrowers generally have strong to acceptable capital levels and consistent earnings and debt service capacity. Loans with the higher grades within the “pass” category may include borrowers who are experiencing unusual operating difficulties, but have acceptable payment performance to date. Increased monitoring of financial information and/or collateral may be appropriate. Loans with this grade show no immediate loss exposure. • Grade 6: This grade includes "Watch" loans and is considered a “pass grade”. The grade is intended to be utilized on a temporary basis for pass grade borrowers where a potentially significant risk-modifying action is anticipated in the near term. • Grade 7: This grade includes “Other Assets Especially Mentioned” (“OAEM”) loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines, and is intended to highlight loans with elevated risks. Loans with this grade show signs of deteriorating profits and capital, and the borrower might not be strong enough to sustain a major setback. The borrower is typically higher than normally leveraged, and outside support might be modest and likely illiquid. The loan is at risk of further decline unless active measures are taken to correct the situation. • Grade 8: This grade includes “Substandard” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines, which the Company has determined have a high credit risk. These loans also have well-defined weaknesses which make payment default or principal exposure likely, but not yet certain. The borrower may have shown serious negative trends in financial ratios and performance. Such loans may be dependent upon collateral liquidation, a secondary source of repayment or an event outside of the normal course of business. Loans with this grade can be placed on accrual or nonaccrual status based on the Company’s accrual policy. • Grade 9: This grade includes “Doubtful” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines, and the Company has determined these loans to have excessive credit risk. Such loans are placed on nonaccrual status and may be dependent upon collateral having a value that is difficult to determine or upon some near-term event which lacks certainty. Additionally, these loans generally have a specific valuation allowance or have been partially charged-off for the amount considered uncollectible. • Grade 10: This grade includes “Loss” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines, and the Company has determined these loans have the highest risk of loss. Such loans are charged-off or charged-down when payment is acknowledged to be uncertain or when the timing or value of payments cannot be determined. “Loss” is not intended to imply that the loan or some portion of it will never be paid, nor does it in any way imply that there has been a forgiveness of debt. Numerical loan grades for loans are established at the origination of the loan. Loan grades are reviewed on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if necessary, by the credit 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. The 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 OAEM loan grade is transitory in that the Company is waiting on additional information to determine the likelihood and extent of the potential loss. The likelihood of loss for OAEM graded loans, however, is greater than Watch graded loans because there has been measurable credit deterioration. Loans with a Substandard grade are generally loans for which the Company has individually analyzed for potential impairment. For Doubtful and Loss graded loans, the Company is almost certain of the losses, and the outstanding principal balances are generally charged-off to the realizable value. The following tables present the balance of the loans receivable by credit quality indicator as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 .

Potential problem loans may include PCI loans as these loans continue to accrete loan discounts established at acquisition based on the guidance of FASB ASC 310-30. Potential problem loans as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $101.3 million and $83.5 million , respectively. (d) Nonaccrual Loans Nonaccrual loans, segregated by segments and classes of loans, were as follows as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 : December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 (In thousands) Commercial business: Commercial and industrial $ 6,639 $ 3,110 Owner-occupied commercial real estate 4,212 4,090 Non-owner occupied commercial real estate 1,713 1,898 Total commercial business 12,564 9,098 One-to-four family residential 71 81 Real estate construction and land development: One-to-four family residential 899 1,247 Total real estate construction and land development 899 1,247 Consumer 169 277 Nonaccrual loans $ 13,703 $ 10,703 PCI loans are not included in the nonaccrual loan table above because these loans are accounted for under FASB ASC 310-30, which provides that accretable yield is calculated based on a loan's expected cash flow even if the loan is not performing under its contractual terms. (e) Past due loans The Company performs an aging analysis of past due loans using policies consistent with regulatory reporting requirements with categories of 30-89 days past due and 90 or more days past due. The balances of past due loans, segregated by segments and classes of loans, as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows: December 31, 2018 30-89 Days 90 Days or Greater Total Past Due Current Total (In thousands) Commercial business: Commercial and industrial $ 2,988 $ 2,281 $ 5,269 $ 848,337 $ 853,606 Owner-occupied commercial real estate 563 600 1,163 778,651 779,814 Non-owner occupied commercial real estate 5,347 1,461 6,808 1,297,655 1,304,463 Total commercial business 8,898 4,342 13,240 2,924,643 2,937,883 One-to-four family residential 227 — 227 101,536 101,763 Real estate construction and land development: One-to-four family residential 665 234 899 101,831 102,730 Five or more family residential and commercial properties — — — 112,730 112,730 Total real estate construction and land development 665 234 899 214,561 215,460 Consumer 2,568 — 2,568 392,977 395,545 Gross loans receivable $ 12,358 $ 4,576 $ 16,934 $ 3,633,717 $ 3,650,651 December 31, 2017 30-89 Days 90 Days or Greater Total Past Due Current Total (In thousands) Commercial business: Commercial and industrial $ 2,993 $ 1,172 $ 4,165 $ 641,231 $ 645,396 Owner-occupied commercial real estate 1,277 1,225 2,502 619,648 622,150 Non-owner occupied commercial real estate 870 3,314 4,184 982,410 986,594 Total commercial business 5,140 5,711 10,851 2,243,289 2,254,140 One-to-four family residential 513 — 513 86,484 86,997 Real estate construction and land development: One-to-four family residential 84 1,331 1,415 50,570 51,985 Five or more family residential and commercial properties 40 — 40 97,459 97,499 Total real estate construction and land development 124 1,331 1,455 148,029 149,484 Consumer 1,939 687 2,626 352,465 355,091 Gross loans receivable $ 7,716 $ 7,729 $ 15,445 $ 2,830,267 $ 2,845,712 There were no loans 90 days or more past due that were still accruing interest as of December 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017 , excluding PCI loans. (f) Impaired loans Impaired loans include nonaccrual loans and performing TDR loans. The balances of impaired loans as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are set forth in the following tables: December 31, 2018 Recorded Investment With No Specific Valuation Allowance Recorded Investment With Specific Valuation Allowance Total Recorded Investment Unpaid Contractual Principal Balance Related Specific Valuation Allowance (In thousands) Commercial business: Commercial and industrial $ 2,523 $ 20,119 $ 22,642 $ 24,176 $ 2,607 Owner-occupied commercial real estate 816 5,000 5,816 6,150 1,142 Non-owner occupied commercial real estate 3,352 2,924 6,276 6,414 206 Total commercial business 6,691 28,043 34,734 36,740 3,955 One-to-four family residential — 279 279 293 76 Real estate construction and land development: One-to-four family residential 899 — 899 1,662 — Total real estate construction and land development 899 — 899 1,662 — Consumer — 527 527 538 139 Total $ 7,590 $ 28,849 $ 36,439 $ 39,233 $ 4,170 December 31, 2017 Recorded Investment With No Specific Valuation Allowance Recorded Investment With Specific Valuation Allowance Total Recorded Investment Unpaid Contractual Principal Balance Related Specific Valuation Allowance (In thousands) Commercial business: Commercial and industrial $ 2,127 $ 9,872 $ 11,999 $ 12,489 $ 1,326 Owner-occupied commercial real estate 2,452 4,356 6,808 7,054 621 Non-owner occupied commercial real estate 4,722 11,297 16,019 16,172 1,222 Total commercial business 9,301 25,525 34,826 35,715 3,169 One-to-four family residential — 299 299 308 93 Real estate construction and land development: One-to-four family residential 938 309 1,247 2,200 2 Five or more family residential and commercial properties — 645 645 645 37 Total real estate construction and land development 938 954 1,892 2,845 39 Consumer 160 282 442 466 54 Total $ 10,399 $ 27,060 $ 37,459 $ 39,334 $ 3,355 The average recorded investment of impaired loans for the year ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 are set forth in the following table: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016 (In thousands) Commercial business: Commercial and industrial $ 16,773 $ 11,310 $ 10,207 Owner-occupied commercial real estate 11,312 5,401 4,540 Non-owner occupied commercial real estate 9,465 12,162 11,709 Total commercial business 37,550 28,873 26,456 One-to-four family residential 290 309 279 Real estate construction and land development: One-to-four family residential 1,091 2,315 3,305 Five or more family residential and commercial properties 129 903 1,656 Total real estate construction and land development 1,220 3,218 4,961 Consumer 428 351 645 Total $ 39,488 $ 32,751 $ 32,341 For the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , no interest income was recognized subsequent to a loan’s classification as nonaccrual. For the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , the Bank recorded $1.4 million , $1.2 million and $651,000 , respectively, of interest income related to performing TDR loans. (g) Troubled Debt Restructured Loans The majority of the 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 concessions are certain modifications with extensions that also include interest rate reductions. Certain TDR loans were additionally re-amortized over a longer period of time. These modifications would all be considered 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. For the majority of the Bank’s TDR loans, the loans were interest-only with a balloon payment at maturity. 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 forbearance agreements or interest rate modifications, the Bank may not collect all the principal and interest based on the original contractual terms. The Bank estimates the necessary allowance for loan losses on TDR loans using the same guidance as used for other impaired loans. The recorded investment balance and related allowance for loan losses of performing and nonaccrual TDR loans as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows: December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Performing TDRs Nonaccrual TDRs Performing Nonaccrual (In thousands) TDR loans $ 22,736 $ 6,943 $ 26,757 $ 5,193 Allowance for loan losses on TDR loans 2,257 658 2,635 379 The unfunded commitment to borrowers related to TDR loans was $943,000 and $1.2 million at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. Loans that were modified as TDR loans during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 are set forth in the following table: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016 Number of Contracts (1) Recorded Investment (1) (2) Number of Contracts (1) Recorded Investment (1) (2) Number of Contracts (1) Recorded Investment (1) (2) (Dollars in thousands) Commercial business: Commercial and industrial 31 $ 16,129 19 $ 7,212 19 $ 7,398 Owner-occupied commercial real estate 4 2,521 3 1,366 2 569 Non-owner occupied commercial real estate 3 2,944 4 9,574 2 2,121 Total commercial business 38 21,594 26 18,152 23 10,088 Real estate construction and land development: One-to-four family residential 2 665 2 938 5 2,206 Five or more family residential and commercial properties — — — — 1 1,078 Total real estate construction and land development 2 665 2 938 6 3,284 Consumer 13 236 8 110 6 66 Total TDR loans 53 $ 22,495 36 $ 19,200 35 $ 13,438 (1) Number of contracts and outstanding principal balance represent loans which have balances as of period end as certain loans may have been paid-down or charged-off during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 . (2) Includes subsequent payments after modifications and reflects the balance as of period end. As the Bank did not forgive any principal or interest balance as part of the loan modification, the Bank’s recorded investment in each loan at the date of modification (pre-modification) did not change as a result of the modification (post-modification), except when the modification was the initial advance on a one-to-four family residential real estate construction and land development loan under a master guidance line. There were no advances on these types of loans during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 . The related specific valuation allowance at December 31, 2018 for loans that were modified as TDR loans during the year ended December 31, 2018 was $2.3 million . The related specific valuation allowance at December 31, 2017 for loans that were modified as TDR loans during the year ended December 31, 2017 was $1.8 million . Certain loans included in the tables above may have been previously reported as TDR loans. 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. The Bank does not consider these modifications a subsequent default of a TDR as new loan terms, specifically new maturity dates, were granted. The potential losses related to these loans would have been considered in the period the loan was first reported as a TDR loan and are adjusted, as necessary, in the current period based on more recent information. Loans that were modified during the previous twelve months that subsequently defaulted during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 are included in the following table: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016 Number of Contracts Recorded Investment (1) Number of Recorded Investment (1) Number of Recorded Investment (1) (Dollars in thousands) Commercial business: Commercial and industrial 5 $ 1,890 1 $ 283 — $ — Owner-occupied commercial real estate 1 65 1 80 1 488 Total commercial business 6 1,955 2 363 1 488 Real estate construction and land development: One-to-four family residential 2 665 2 938 2 1,143 Total real estate construction and land development 2 665 2 938 2 1,143 Consumer — — 1 7 — — Total 8 $ 2,620 5 $ 1,308 3 $ 1,631 (1) Number of contracts and outstanding principal balance represent loans which have balances as of period end as certain loans may have been paid-down or charged-off during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 .
