         Timberland Bancorp Earns $1.1 Million in Fiscal Third Quarter

Earnings Per Share of $0.12 for Quarter; Non-interest Income Increased 45%,
Total Risk Based Capital at 16.19%; Loan Loss Reserve Strengthened to 2.23% of
Loans; Total Loan Originations of $95 million for the Quarter


HOQUIAM, WA - July 28, 2009 -- Timberland Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSBK)
("Timberland" or "the Company") today reported fiscal third quarter profits of
$1.06 million.  Third quarter income available to common shareholders after
being adjusted for preferred stock dividends of $210,000 and preferred stock
discount accretion of $79,000 was $769,000, or $0.12 per diluted common share.
This compares to a net loss of $546,000, or ($0.08) per diluted common share,
for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and a net loss of $1.60 million, or
($0.24) per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2009, the Company reported net income of
$27,000.  However, income available to common shareholders after adjusting for
the preferred stock dividend and the preferred stock discount accretion was a
loss of $489,000, or ($0.07) per diluted common share.   This compares to net
income of $2.66 million or $0.40 per diluted common share for the first nine
months of fiscal 2008 when no preferred dividends were due.


Fiscal Third Quarter 2009 Highlights:  (quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared
to the quarter ended June 30, 2008)
    *   Capital levels remain exceptionally strong: Tier 1 Capital Ratio at
        12.30%; Total Risk Based Capital at 16.19%
    *   Revenues (excluding OTTI charges and the June 2008 loss on securities)
        increased 7% to $9.0 million from $8.4 million
    *   Non-interest income (excluding OTTI charges and the June 2008 loss on
        securities) increased 45% to $2.8 million
    *   Construction and land development loans decreased 30% year over year
        and 12% from the prior fiscal quarter
    *   Tangible book value per common share was $9.36 at quarter end
    *   Full service branch in Chehalis opened in May 2009

"The economic recession has significantly impacted the Pacific Northwest,"
said Michael R. Sand, President and CEO.  "There are numerous opinions
regarding the duration of this recession however, according to the July 13th
Current Economic Indicators Letter  produced by the Puget Sound Economic
Forecaster, the Northwest may be seeing early signs of recovery."  The
newsletter states:     we may be witnessing the first signs of the regional
economic recovery.  Over the three-month period ending in May, closed home
sales increased at a 28.9 percent annual rate, while residential building
permits rose at a 48.9 percent rate. Home prices fell at a 19.9 percent rate
between February and May but increased at a 15.3 percent rate between March
and May. More specifically, the average house price, after dropping from
$368,600 in February to $341,500 in March, rose to $350,200 in May. It is too
early to conclude that the housing market has found its way back, especially
considering the extremely low volume of home sales and housing permits at the
present time, but these are the kind of numbers that one would expect to see
around the turning point.'

"Possibly the authors of the above quote, the economists Conway and Pedersen,
are correct in their analysis.  We remain cautiously optimistic that our
region will begin to climb out of one of the worst economic recessions this
country has experienced," Sand continued.  "The upturn in home sales is
reducing the housing supply and low mortgage rates are contributing to better
affordability.  With that said, we continue to see stress in our loan
portfolio, primarily in the construction and land related segments.  We are
well positioned from a capital and a potential earnings perspective to succeed
during this downturn. Timberland retains excellent liquidity, substantial
capital and a diversified deposit base not dependent on brokered deposits."

Capital Ratios and Asset Quality

Timberland Bancorp remains very well capitalized with a total risk-based
capital ratio of 16.19% and a Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.30% at June 30, 2009.

The non-performing assets ("NPAs") to total assets ratio was 4.94% at June 30,
2009 compared to 3.32% at March 31, 2009.  During the quarter ended March 31,
2009 net charge-offs were $609,000 compared to $1.17 million during the
quarter ended March 31, 2009.  The allowance for loan losses totaled $12.4
million at June 30, 2009, or 2.23% of total loans compared to $12.0 million,
or 2.13% of loans receivable at March 31, 2009 and $7.1 million, or 1.26% of
loans receivable one year ago.

Non-performing loans ("NPLs") increased to $25.1 million at June 30, 2009 and
were comprised of 46 loans and 38 credit relationships.  Included in the NPLs
are:

    *   5 - Land development loans totaling $5.88 million of which the largest
        has a balance of $2.12 million
    *   2 - Condominium construction loans totaling $5.68 million of which the
        largest has a balance of $4.29 million
    *   8 - Commercial real estate loans totaling $5.50 million of which the
        largest has a balance of $1.65 million
    *   13 - Land loans totaling $3.38 million of which the largest has a
        balance of $986,000
    *   7 - One-to-four family home loans totaling $2.32 million of which the
        largest loan has a balance of $995,000
    *   7 - One-to-four family spec construction loans totaling $2.17 million
        of which the largest loan has a balance of $546,000
    *   2 - Second mortgage loans secured by liens on one-to-four family homes
        totaling $92,000 of which the largest loan has a balance of $62,000
    *   1 - Commercial business loan with a balance of $78,000 secured by a
        lien on three condominium units
    *   1   Equipment loan with a balance of $15,000

Since June 30, 2009 one land loan with a balance of $81,000 was brought
current and one condominium construction loan with a balance of $1.39 million
became other real estate owned ("OREO").  The OREO total at June 30, 2009 was
$7.70 million.  The balance was comprised of 27 individual properties
representing 11 relationships.  Eight of the properties have accepted earnest
money agreements on them which, if closed, will result in a $1.73 million
reduction in the OREO balance.  The largest OREO property has a balance of
$2.26 million and consists of a 78 lot plat located in Richland Washington.
The Richland/Kennewick/Pasco market is currently one of Washington State's
better performing economic areas.  Timberland continues to actively manage the
disposition of OREO properties and has seen increased buyer interest in OREO
properties.

Net charge-offs totaled $609,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and
included the following:
    *   $340,000 on one land development loan
    *   $215,000 on eight speculative construction loans
    *   $39,000 on two single family home loans
    *   $11,000 on a consumer auto loan
    *   $4,000 on six land loans


Balance Sheet Management

Total assets decreased 2% during the quarter to $675.7 million at June 30,
2009 from $693.0 million at March 31, 2009.  The $17.3 million decrease in
total assets is primarily a result of a $12.9 million decrease in cash
equivalents and an $8.6 million decrease in net loans receivable. During the
quarter the Company used a portion of its excess liquidity to repay $26.0
million in brokered certificates of deposit.  The Company continues to
maintain a high level of liquidity, both on balance sheet and through
off-balance sheet access to funds.  Liquidity as measured by cash equivalents
and available for sale investments securities to liabilities increased to 9.9%
at June 30, 2009, from 7.2% one year ago. "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 $60
million year over year," said Dean Brydon, Chief Financial Officer.  Although
loan originations totaled $94.8 million during the current quarter, net loans
receivable decreased 2% to $545.8 million at June 30, 2009, from $554.4
million at March 31, 2009.  During the current quarter the one-to-four family
speculative construction portfolio

decreased by 21% and the land development portfolio decreased by 14%.
"Combined, we have reduced our exposure to construction and land development
loans by 30% from a year ago," Brydon added.

Loan demand remained strong as loan originations totaled $94.8 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to $98.3 million for the preceding
quarter and $80.1 million for the quarter ended one year ago.  Increased loan
originations in the past two quarters 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 June 30, 2009, fixed-rate one-to-four family mortgage loan sales totaled
$69.6 million compared to $60.7 million for the preceding quarter and $16.0
million for the quarter ended one year ago.

Timberland's investment securities decreased by $837,000 during the quarter to
$24.5 million at June 30, 2009 from $25.3 million at March 31, 2009, primarily
as a result of regular amortization and prepayments and a $125,000 credit
related other-than temporary-impairment ("OTTI") charge on 17 private label
mortgage-backed securities that were acquired in the in-kind redemption from
the AMF family of mutual funds in June 2008.

Total deposits decreased 4% to $487.4 million at June 30, 2009, from $505.9
million at March 31, 2009 primarily as a result of a $26.0 million decrease in
brokered certificate of deposit ("CDs") accounts.  Excluding brokered CDs,
deposits increased 2% to $487.4 million at June 30, 2009, from $479.9 million
at March 31, 2009.  This increase was primarily due to an increase in N.O.W.
checking account balances.

Total shareholders' equity increased $644,000 to $89.0 million at June 30,
2009, from $88.3 million at March 31, 2009 primarily due to net income of
$1.06 million and a $474,000 reduction in accumulated other comprehensive
loss.  These increases to shareholders' equity were partially offset by
dividends to common and preferred shareholders.

Operating Results

Fiscal third quarter operating revenue (net interest income before provision
for loan losses, plus non-interest income excluding OTTI charges and the June
2008 loss on the redemption of mutual funds), increased 7% to $9.0 million
compared to $8.4 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) and increased non-interest income
from service charges on deposits.  For the first nine months of fiscal 2009,
operating revenues (excluding OTTI charges and loss on redemption of mutual
funds) increased 7% to $26.9 million from $25.1 million in the first nine
months of fiscal 2008.  The increase was primarily a result of increased
non-interest income from loan sales, increased fee income on deposit accounts
and a $134,000 non-recurring gain from a change in the Bank's investment in
bank owned life insurance ("BOLI").

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased 5% to $6.2
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, from $6.5 million for the like
quarter one year ago with interest and dividend income decreasing 7% and
interest expense decreasing 12%.  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
3.86% for the current quarter, a decrease of 20 basis points from 4.06% for
the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and a decrease of 37 basis points from 4.23%
for the quarter a year ago.  The reversal of interest income on loans placed
on non-accrual status during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 reduced the net
interest margin by approximately 22 basis points.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2009, net interest income before the
provision for loan losses decreased 5% to $19.1 million from $20.1 million in
the like period a year ago.  Net interest margin year to date was 4.03%, down
39 basis points from a year ago.

In the third fiscal quarter Timberland recorded a provision of $1.0 million to
its allowance for loan losses, compared to $5.2 million in the preceding
quarter and $500,000 in the like quarter in the prior fiscal year.  For the
first nine months of fiscal 2009, the provision for loan losses totaled $7.5
million, compared to $2.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008.
Net charge-offs for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 totaled $609,000 compared
to $1.17 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and $121,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 2008.  Year to date, net charge-offs were $3.0 million
compared to $121,000 in the first nine months one year ago.

Timberland's total operating (non-interest) expenses increased 30% to $6.4
million for the third fiscal quarter from $4.9 million from the like quarter
one year ago and increased 17% from $5.4 million from the immediately prior
quarter.  The increased

July 28, 2009

expenses during the current quarter were primarily due to increased FDIC
insurance expenses (including a special FDIC assessment of $300,000),
increased OREO related expenses and increased loan monitoring and collection
related expenses.  Year to date, total operating expenses increased 16% to
$17.4 million from $15.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008.
