                 Timberland Bancorp Declares Dividend and
                 Announces Fiscal Second Quarter Results

Revenues Increased 13%, Non-interest Income Increased 111%, and Deposits
Increased 6% from Prior Quarter; Total Risk Based Capital at 16.26%; Loan Loss
Reserve Strengthened to 2.13% of Loans; Net Interest Margin Remains Strong at
4.06%; Dividend of $0.11 Per Share Maintained; Total Loan Originations of
$98.3 million for the Quarter


HOQUIAM, WA April 30, 2009 -- Timberland Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSBK)
("Timberland" or "The Company")), today announced that the Board of Directors
declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per common share. The Board of
Directors sets dividend payments on common shares each quarter based on the
regional economic outlook, capital requirements and other factors. The
Directors will continue in future periods to discuss and evaluate the dividend
amount based on these factors.

Timberland also today reported its financial results for the second fiscal
quarter ended March 31, 2009 which showed a strong 13% increase in operating
revenues while net earnings were reduced by increased loan loss reserves and
lower securities valuations. Timberland reported a net loss of $1.4 million or
($0.21) per diluted common share primarily as a result of increasing its
provision for loan losses to $5.2 million during the quarter and recognizing a
$1.0 million other than temporary impairment ("OTTI") charge on certain
securities the Bank is holding to maturity. Second quarter income available
for common shareholders, adjusted for the dividend of $208,000 payable to the
U.S. Treasury on preferred stock, was a net loss of $1.6 million or ($0.24)
per diluted common share compared to earnings of $1.6 million, or $0.24 per
diluted common share for the fiscal second quarter one year ago. For the first
six months of fiscal 2009, the net loss was $1.0 million and the income
available to common shareholders adjusted for the dividend payable to U.S.
Treasury was a net loss of $1.3 million or ($0.19) per diluted common share
compared to net income of $3.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted common share for
the first six months of fiscal 2008.

Record mortgage originations generated a 107% increase in gains from loan
sales during the second quarter and increased operating revenue 13%. Operating
revenues (excluding the OTTI expense) increased to $9.3 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to $8.2 million for the like quarter in
the prior fiscal year. Second quarter fixed rate mortgage loan originations
which were sold in the secondary market reached a record $60.7 million.
"Originating mortgage loans for sale into the secondary market continues to be
a strong source of revenues for the Bank," said Michael R. Sand, President and
CEO. "We expect to deliver just over $20 million of such loans in April and
have $32 million currently scheduled for May delivery to Freddie Mac." The
$5.2 million provision for loan losses significantly exceeded net loan charge-
offs of $1.2 million during the 2009 fiscal second quarter and increased the
ratio of loan loss reserves to loans to 2.13% at March 31, 2009, up 69 basis
points from the preceding quarter and 92 basis points from one year ago. "As
the regional economy continues to decline, we are seeing values in local real
estate fall, particularly for building lots and land held for development in
Pierce and King Counties," said Sand. "The present economic environment is as
challenging as any that most contemporary bankers have experienced. Even so,
we have begun to see movement in the purchase of fairly priced homes in our
markets. Three offers have been accepted this month for Bank owned
properties."

Capital Ratios and Asset Quality

Timberland Bancorp remains very well capitalized with a total risk-based
capital ratio of 16.3%. "Our participation in the Treasury's Capital Purchase
Program enhanced Timberland's already strong capital position and has
supported the Bank's lending initiatives this past quarter," stated Sand.
"Total loan originations increased to $98.3 million for the quarter from $43.9
million the prior quarter. Historically low interest rates continue to present
homeowners with a significant opportunity to reduce their monthly payments by
refinancing."

The non-performing assets ("NPAs") to total assets ratio was 3.32% at March
31, 2009 compared to 2.20% at December 31, 2008. During the quarter ended
March 31, 2009 net charge-offs were $1.17 million compared to $1.20 million
during the quarter ended December 31, 2008. The allowance for loan losses
totaled $12.05 million at March 31, 2009, or 2.13% of total loans compared to
$8.2 million, or 1.44% of loans receivable at December 31, 2008 and $6.7
million, or 1.21% of loans receivable one year ago.

Non-performing loans ("NPLs") increased to $19.9 million at March 31, 2009 and
were comprised of 49 loans and 34 credit relationships. Included in the NPLs
are:

     --  4 - Land development loans totaling $5.88 million (of which the
         largest has a balance of $2.60 million)
     --  18 - Individual lot / land loans totaling $3.90 million (of which the
         largest has a balance of $1.00 million)
     --  13 - Single family speculative loans totaling $3.78 million (of which
         the largest has a balance of $451,000)
     --  6 - Commercial real estate loans totaling $3.61 million (of which the
         largest has a balance of $1.39 million)
     --  1 - Multi-family loan for $1.39 million
     --  3 - Single family home loans totaling $595,000 (of which the largest
         has a balance of $334,000)
     --  3 - Commercial business loans totaling $592,000
     --  1 - Single family construction loan for $123,000

Charge-offs for the quarter were associated with 12 relationships which
primarily involved construction and land development loans. In recognition of
a real estate market that reflected lower valuations during the past quarter
net charge-offs included the following:

     --  $325,000 to reduce exposure to the speculative construction inventory
         and land holdings of four contractors
     --  $561,000 on two land development loans
     --  $145,000 on loans secured by land
     --  $100,000 on  two home equity loans
     --  $40,000 on a single family home

Other real estate owned ("OREO") and other repossessed assets increased to
$2.83 million at March 31, 2009 and consisted of nine single family residences
in Pierce County totaling $2.61 million, one single family residence in Kitsap
County with an $87,000 balance, three land loans in Grays Harbor County
totaling $126,000 and two vehicles totaling $6,000.

The dividend to common shareholders of $0.11 per share will be payable on May
29, 2009 to shareholders of record at May 15, 2009. This payment will be the
45th consecutive quarterly cash dividend that Timberland has paid on its
common stock.

Balance Sheet Management

Total assets increased 3% during the quarter to $693.0 million at March 31,
2009 from $671.6 million at December 31, 2008 reflecting the enhanced
liquidity from higher cash equivalents being maintained. Liquidity as measured
by cash equivalents and available for sale investments securities to
liabilities increased to 11.8% at March 31, 2009, from 8.5% at December 31,
2008. "We continue to work to improve the mix of loans in our portfolio,
specifically by reducing our exposure to construction and land development
loans, which have decreased more than $36 million year over year," said Dean
Brydon, Chief Financial Officer. Net loans receivable increased 1% year-over-
year to $554.4 million at March 31, 2009, from $547.8 million a year ago. The
net loan portfolio remained consistent with the preceding quarter as increases
in commercial real estate loans, one-to-

four family mortgage loans and land loans were offset by decreases in
construction and land development loans, multi-family loans, commercial
business loans and consumer loans. During the current quarter the one-to-four
family speculative construction portfolio decreased by 10% and the land
development portfolio decreased by 11%. "Combined, we have reduced our
exposure to construction and loan development loans by more than 18% from a
year ago," Brydon added.

Loan originations increased to $98.3 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2009 from $43.9 million for preceding quarter and from $59.0 million for the
quarter ended one year ago. Increased loan originations in the current quarter
were primarily a result of increased demand to refinance one-to-four family
mortgage loans at historically low interest rates. Timberland Bank continues
to sell fixed rate one-to four-family mortgage loans into the secondary market
for asset-liability management purposes and to generate non-interest income.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, fixed-rate one-to-four family
mortgage loan sales totaled $60.7 million.

Timberland's investment securities decreased by $3.1 million during the
quarter to $25.3 million at March 31, 2009 from $28.4 million at December 31,
2008, primarily as a result of a $1.7 million decline in the market value of
25 private label mortgage-backed securities, and regular amortization and
prepayments on mortgage-backed securities. Of the $1.7 million market value
adjustment on the held-to-maturity securities, $993,000 was expensed through
the income statement as OTTI charges and

$741,000 was adjusted through the other comprehensive loss equity account on
the balance sheet. The securities on which impairments are being recognized
were acquired with the in-kind redemption of the investment in the AMF family
of mutual funds in June 2008.

Total deposits increased 6% to $505.9 million at March 31, 2009, from $477.3
million at December 31, 2008 primarily as a result of a $19.4 million increase
in certificate of deposit accounts, a $5.9 million increase in N.O.W. checking
accounts, a $2.0 million increase in non-interest bearing accounts and a $1.7
million increase in money market accounts.

Total shareholders' equity decreased $2.6 million to $88.3 million at March
31, 2009, from $90.9 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease in
shareholders' equity was primarily due to the net loss of $1.4 million,
dividends to common shareholders of $769,000, a $528,000 change in accumulated
other comprehensive loss and a $208,000 preferred stock dividend payable to
the U.S. Treasury.

Operating Results

Fiscal second quarter operating revenue (net interest income before provision
for loan losses, plus non-interest income excluding OTTI charges), increased
13% to $9.3 million compared to $8.2 million in the like quarter a year ago.
The increase was primarily a result of increased non-interest income from loan
sales (gain on sale of loans and servicing income recorded), increased non-
interest income from service charges on deposits and a $134,000 non-recurring
gain on the Bank's investment in bank owned life insurance (BOLI). For the
first six months of fiscal 2009, operating revenues (excluding OTTI charges)
increased 8% to $17.9 million from $16.6 million in the first half of fiscal
2008, with higher contributions from fee income and gain on sale of loans.

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased 4% to $6.4
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, from $6.7 million for the like
quarter a year ago with interest and dividend income decreasing 10% and
interest expense decreasing 20%. The decrease in net interest income was
primarily due to an increase in non-accrual interest and margin compression
due to the lower interest rate environment. In spite of the challenging
interest rate environment, Timberland's net interest margin remained strong at
4.06% for the current quarter, a decrease of 13 basis points from 4.19% for
the quarter ended December 31, 2008 and a decrease of 38 basis points from
4.44% for the quarter a year ago.

For the first six months of fiscal 2009, net interest income before the
provision for loan losses decreased 5% to $12.9 million from $13.6 million in
the like period a year ago. Net interest margin year to date was 4.12%, down
40 basis points from a year ago.

In the second fiscal quarter Timberland recorded a provision of $5.2 million
to its allowance for loan losses, compared to $1.3 million in the preceding
quarter and $700,000 in the like quarter in the prior fiscal year. For the
first six months of fiscal 2009, the provision for loan losses totaled $6.5
million, compared to $1.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008. Net
charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 totaled $1.17 million
compared to $1.20 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 and no
charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Year to date, net charge-
offs were $2.4 million compared to no charge-offs in the first six months one
year ago.

Timberland's total operating (non-interest) expenses increased 5% to $5.4
million for the second fiscal quarter from $5.2 million from the like quarter
one year ago and decreased 2% from $5.5 million from the immediately prior
quarter. Year to date, total operating expenses increased 9% to $11.0 million
from $10.1 million in the first half of fiscal 2008.
