Timberland Bancorp, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter Earnings
HOQUIAM, Wash. - November 17, 2003 - Timberland Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: TSBK),
("Company") the holding company for Timberland Bank, ("Bank"), today reported
net income of $1.44 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the quarter ended
September 30, 2003. This compares to $0.44 per diluted share that the Company
earned for the quarter ended September 30, 2002. The lower earnings for the
current quarter are primarily due to increased non-interest expenses resulting
from the investment in technology improvements and increased employee costs.
Employee costs increased primarily as a result of a larger employee base and
increased salary expenses attributable to the conversion process.
The planned technology improvements announced previously were implemented
during the September 30th quarter. The Company converted to the Kirchman
Bankway core processing system from its in-house supported system, and changed
its Internet banking system, its loan platform system and its ATM service
provider. The Company incurred expenses of $316,000 ($209,000 net of income
tax - $0.05 per diluted share) related to the technology enhancements and
associated conversion costs during the current quarter. While the technology
upgrades reduced our per share profitability in the short term, we believe the
investment will be beneficial for our customers and ultimately to our
long-term investors.
Loan volumes and mortgage banking activity remained strong during the current
quarter as the Bank originated loans totaling $65.2 million and sold $20.8
million in fixed rate loans. During this low interest rate cycle the Bank has
continued to sell a majority of its fixed rate mortgage loans secured by
residential properties.
"Timberland's successful technology conversion in conjunction with record loan
volumes is a testimony to the diligence and dedication of the Bank's
employees," stated President Michael Sand. "Technology enhancements were
undertaken to provide additional opportunities to serve and expand our
customer base."
The Bank continued its success in attracting checking account type deposits
with its checking account acquisition program. Checking and non-interest
bearing deposits increased by $20.9 million (32%) during the year. Also
notable were the 43% increase in the Company's stock price, the 17% dividend
increase and the 6.5% increase in book value per share during the year.
Branch Expansion Update
The Bank's 15th full-service office was opened in downtown Olympia (Thurston
County) on September 3, 2003. This is Timberland's fourth Thurston County
location and serves as the headquarters for the Bank's Commercial Lending and
Business Banking Divisions. The downtown Olympia site is centrally located
and provides a strategic location as the Company continues to pursue its
commercial and business
1
banking initiatives. Commercial real estate, commercial business, and
commercial construction loans now comprise 33% of the Bank's loan portfolio.
The Bank's 16th full-service office will be opening in Gig Harbor (Pierce
County) in February 2004. Richard Pifer of Gig Harbor has been named Vice
President and branch manager. He is a 12-year resident of Gig Harbor and has
over 23 years of banking experience, most recently with Key Bank. "We are
pleased to add a manager and lender to our staff with such extensive
experience and ability," stated President Sand. "Mr. Pifer sees clearly the
lending opportunities in the Gig Harbor area. His 12 years of experience in
the Gig Harbor Market will be particularly valuable in establishing a
profitable branch operation."

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002
Total Assets: Total assets increased $18.5 million to $449.6 million at
September 30, 2003 from $431.1 million at September 30, 2002. This change is
reflected primarily in a $16.7 million increase in investments and interest
bearing deposits in banks and a $1.8 million increase in premises and
equipment.
Investments and Interest Bearing Deposits in Banks: Investments and interest
bearing deposits in banks increased by $16.7 million to $83.8 million at
September 30, 2003 from $67.1 million at September 30, 2002. This increase is
primarily due to investing proceeds from increased customer deposits.
Loans: Net loans receivable, including loans held-for-sale, decreased slightly
to $322.2 million at September 30, 2003 from $322.5 at September 30, 2002.
The composition of the portfolio continued to migrate away from the Bank's
historical dependence on one-to-four family mortgage loans as the percentage
of one-to-four family mortgage loans decreased to 26.2% at September 30, 2003
from 31.3% at September 30, 2002. The lower levels of one-to-four family
mortgage loans were partially offset by increased levels of construction
loans, commercial real estate loans, and consumer loans. During the year
one-to-four family mortgage loans decreased by $17.8 million and multi-family
mortgage loans decreased by $5.9 million. However, net construction loans
increased by $11.5 million, commercial mortgage loans increased by $5.3
million, and consumer loans increased by $6.2 million. Loan volume was very
strong during the year ended September 30, 2003 as the Bank originated loans
of $249.6 million and sold $108.8 million in fixed rate one-to-four family
mortgage loans. Management elected to sell a majority of the fixed rate
residential loans originated rather than adding them to the Bank's portfolio
due to the low interest-rate environment.
Deposits: Deposits increased by $15.4 million to $307.7 million at September
30, 2003 from $292.3 million at September 30, 2002, primarily due to a $15.4
million increase in the Bank's N.O.W. checking accounts, a $9.2 million
increase in passbook savings accounts, and a $5.5 million increase in
non-interest bearing accounts. These increases were partially offset by an
$8.4 million decrease in money market accounts and a $6.4 million decrease in
certificate of deposit accounts. The Bank chose not to compete for high-rate
time deposits, electing instead to focus on attracting transaction accounts
that typically provide more of a core deposit relationship with customers.
Shareholders' Equity: Total shareholders' equity increased by $3.2 million to
$77.6 million at September 30, 2003 from $74.4 million at September 30, 2002.
The components of shareholders' equity were primarily affected by net income
of $6.64 million, the repurchase of 188,367 shares of the Company's stock for
$3.85 million and the payment of $2.15 million in dividends to shareholders.
Also affecting shareholders' equity was a $1.50 million increase to additional
paid in capital from the exercise of stock options, a $364,000 decrease in
accumulated other comprehensive income, and decreases of $644,000 and $528,000
in the equity components related to unearned shares issued to the Management
Recognition and Development Plan and Employee Stock Ownership Plans,
respectively, as more shares vested under the MRDP and were released under the
ESOP.
On February 14, 2003 the Company announced a plan to repurchase 380,028 shares
of the Company's stock. This marked the Company's eleventh stock repurchase
plan. As of September 30, 2003, the Company had purchased 112,108 of these
shares and cumulatively had repurchased 2,710,671 (41.0%) of the 6,612,500
shares that were issued when the Company went public in January 1998.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months and Years Ended September
30, 2003 and 2002
Net Income: Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 was $1.44
million, or $0.36 per diluted share ($0.38 per basic share) compared to $1.76
million, or $0.44 per diluted share ($0.45 per basic share) for the quarter
ended September 30, 2002. The lower earnings for the current quarter were
primarily a result of increased non-interest expenses related to technology
improvements, higher employee costs resulting from a larger employee base, and
higher premises and equipment expenses due to additional branches and
remodeling costs. The technology improvement related expenses totaled
$316,000 ($209,000 net of income tax) and reduced earnings by $0.05 per
diluted share.
Net income for the year ended September 30, 2003 was $6.64 million, or $1.66
per diluted share ($1.74 per basic share) compared to $6.89 million, or $1.71
per diluted share ($1.76 per basic share) for the year ended September 30,
2002. The lower earnings for the current year were primarily a result of
technology improvement related expenses, which totaled $586,000 ($387,000 net
of income tax) for the year and reduced earnings by $0.10 per diluted share.
(The anticipated technology investment expenses were initially announced on
April 23, 2003 and were estimated at that time to reduce earnings by a total
of $0.09 per diluted share.) The increased expenses were, however, partially
offset by higher non-interest income, largely related to mortgage loan sales
and earnings on bank owned life insurance.
Net Interest Income: Net interest income decreased $116,000 to $4.68 million
for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from $4.80 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 2002. Total interest income decreased $651,000 to $6.75
million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from $7.40 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 2002, primarily due to a reduction in average
yields on earning assets. The yield on earning assets was 6.47% for the
quarter ended September 30, 2003 compared to 7.39% for the quarter ended
September 30, 2002. In addition to overall lower market rates, the yield was
also impacted by a change in the composition of total earning assets. In
2002, loans, the Company's highest yielding class of assets, comprised 82.2%
of average earning assets. In 2003, loans were 77.5% of average earning
assets. This change was largely influenced by the decision to sell many of
the loans originated during this low interest rate cycle. That had the effect
of increasing the gain on loans sold, at the expense of interest income. The
impact of lower average yields was, however, partially offset by increased
levels of average earning assets. Total interest expense decreased $535,000
to $2.06 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from $2.60 million
for the quarter ended September 30, 2002. The average cost of funds for each
of the Bank's deposit account types for the current quarter was lower than a
year ago. The overall cost of funds decreased to 2.47% for the quarter ended
September 30, 2003 from 3.24% for the quarter ended September 30, 2002. As a
result of these changes, the net interest margin decreased to 4.49% for the
quarter ended September 30, 2003 from 4.79% for the quarter ended September
30, 2002.
Net interest income decreased $596,000 to $18.78 million for the year ended
September 30, 2003 from $19.37 million for the year ended September 30, 2002.
Total interest income decreased $2.54 million to $27.72 million for the year
ended September 30, 2003 from $30.26 million for the year ended September 30,
2002, primarily due to a reduction in average yields on earning assets. The
yield on earning assets was 6.80% for the year ended September 30, 2003
compared to7.93% for the year ended September 30, 2002. The impact of lower
average yields was, however, partially offset by increased levels of average
earning assets. Total interest expense decreased $1.94 million to $8.95
million for the yearended September 30, 2003 from $10.89 million for the year
ended September 30, 2002. The average cost of funds for each of the Bank's
deposit account types for the current period was lower than a year ago. The
overall cost of funds decreased to 2.69% for the year ended September 30, 2003
from 3.59% for the year ended September 30, 2002. As a result of these
changes, the net interest margin decreased to 4.61% for the year ended
September 30, 2003 from 5.08% for the year ended September 30, 2002.
Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses for the year ended
September 30, 2003 decreased $645,000 to $347,000 from $992,000 for the year
ended September 30, 2002. The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended
September 30, 2003 decreased $200,000 from the same period a year ago as there
was no provision made during the current quarter. Management deemed the
allowance for loan losses of $3.89 million at September 30, 2003 (1.20% of
loans receivable and 99.9% of non-performing loans) adequate to provide for
probable losses based on an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan
portfolio at that date. The allowance for loan losses was $3.63 million
(1.12% of
7
Loans receivable and 97.0% of non-performing loans) at September 30, 2002.
The increase in the level of the allowance for loan losses primarily resulted
from a change in the mix of the loan portfolio. The Company had a net
charge-off of $47,000 for the current quarter compared to a net charge-off of
$186,000 in the same quarter of 2002. For the twelve months ended September
30, 2003 and 2002, net charge-offs were $86,000 and $412,000, respectively.
Non-interest Income: Total non-interest income decreased $46,000 to $1.22
million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from $1.26 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 2002, primarily due to an $82,000 decrease in
servicing income on loans sold, a $77,000 decrease in service charges on
deposits, and a $57,000 decrease in ATM transaction fees. These decreases are
partially offset by a $94,000 increase in BOLI income and a $39,000 increase
in gains on sale of loans. The decrease in servicing income on loans sold is
primarily a result of higher prepayments in the Bank's servicing portfolio,
while the decreases in deposit service charges and ATM transaction fees are
partially related to fees waived during the Bank's technology conversion
process.
For the year ended September 30, 2003 non-interest income increased $1.35
million to $6.01 million from $4.66 million for the year ended September 30,
2002. This increase is primarily due to a $494,000 increase in BOLI income, a
$475,000 increase in gain on sale of loans, a $150,000 increase in security
sale gains, and a $147,000 increase in service charges on deposits. The
increased BOLI income is a result of having a full year's earnings on the BOLI
investment that was made in September 2002. The increased loan sale gains are
primarily the result of a larger volume of mortgage banking activity due to
the strong refinance demand. The Bank sold $108.8 million in fixed rate
one-to-four family mortgages during the year ended September 30, 2003 compared
to $70.2 million for the previous year.
Non-interest Expense: Total non-interest expense increased by $538,000 to
$3.86 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from $3.33 million for
the quarter ended September 30, 2002. The increase is primarily a result of
expenses related to the Bank's technology-related enhancements, increased
employee expenses, and increased premises and equipment expenses. The
technology-related conversion expenses totaled $316,000 for the current
quarter and are reflected in the income statement under other non-interest
expenses ($172,000), salaries and employee benefits ($86,000) and premises and
equipment expense ($58,000). In addition to the conversion related expenses
for employee training and overtime, salaries and employee benefit expenses
also increased due to a larger employee base. The Bank's employee base grew
during the year as the Silverdale and Olympia branches were brought on-line
and staffing levels in several other departments were increased.
For the year ended September 30, 2003 non-interest expense increased by $2.12
million to $14.83 million from $12.72 million for the year ended September 30,
2002. The increase is primarily a result of increased employee expenses,
increased premises, and equipment expenses and technology enhancement
expenses. The technology-related conversion expenses totaled $586,000 for the
year ended September 30, 2003 and are reflected in the income statement under
other non-interest expenses ($290,000), premises and equipment expenses
($210,000) and salaries and employee benefit expenses ($86,000). Salary and
benefit expenses increased primarily due to a larger employee base as the Bank
opened two new branches during the year and increased staffing levels in
several other departments. Premises and equipment expense increased during
the year primarily due to the additional branches opened, expenses associated
with remodeling the Bank's loan center, and the technology related expenses
previously discussed.
