        Timberland Bancorp Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2011 Results

HOQUIAM, WA  July 26, 2011- Timberland Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSBK)
("Timberland" or "the Company") today reported a net loss of $(1.28 million)
for its fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2011 and net income of $1.16
million for the fiscal year to date. The quarter's net loss to common
shareholders after adjusting for the preferred stock dividend and the
preferred stock discount accretion was $(1.55 million), or $(0.23) per diluted
common share. This compares to net income to common shareholders of $819,000,
or $0.12 per diluted common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and net
income to common shareholders of $543,000, or $0.08 per diluted common share
for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Timberland earned $1.16 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2011
compared to a net loss of $(2.15 million) for the same period in the prior
fiscal year. Net income available to shareholders for the first nine months of
fiscal 2011 after the preferred stock dividend and discount accretion was
$370,000, or $0.05 per diluted common share, compared to a loss of $(2.93
million), or $(0.44) per diluted common share, in the like period one year
ago.

Fiscal Third Quarter 2011 Highlights (at or for the period ended June 30,
2011, compared to June 30, 2010, or March 31, 2011):

     *  Capital levels remain very strong: Total Risk Based Capital of 16.60%;
        Tier 1 Leverage
     *  Capital Ratio of 11.01%; Tangible Capital to Tangible Assets Ratio of
        11.01%, all solidly above well capitalized levels;
     *  Net interest margin remained strong at 3.76%;
     *  Year-to-date net income of $1.16 million compared to a net loss of
        $(2.15 million) for the same period one year ago;
     *  Total delinquent loans (past due 30 days or more) and non-accrual
        loans decreased 15% to $45.0 million from $52.8 million at March 31,
        2011;
     *  Fiscal year to date net charge-offs decreased 59.5% compared to the
        same fiscal quarters in the prior year

"For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, Timberland provisioned $3.4 million to
its allowance for loan losses. The majority of this amount was due to three
appraisal updates involving the security for two lending relationships," said
Michael R. Sand, President and CEO. "A provision of $2.15 million was
established for a mini-storage facility. Of this amount, $704,000 represents
an impairment that we expect to recover as occupancy increases." Timberland
also recorded an expense of $137,000 for the quarter due to the valuation of
its mortgage servicing rights portfolio. "We expect to recover $187,000 from
future valuations of the mortgage servicing rights portfolio as rates rise,"
Sand also stated. "While the residual effects of the recession continue to
impact business loan demand we are starting to see good lending opportunities
in our market areas. We continue to market to strong borrowers with solid
collateral and strong business enterprises and continued generating strong
core operating revenues this quarter."

Capital Ratios and Asset Quality

Timberland Bancorp remains very well capitalized with a total risk-based
capital ratio of 16.60%, a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 11.01% and a
tangible capital to tangible assets ratio of 11.01% at June 30, 2011.

Timberland provisioned $3.40 million to its loan loss allowance during the
quarter ended June 30, 2011. The provision was primarily the result of
receiving updated appraisals reflecting decreased valuations for three
properties involving two borrowing relationships. Net charge-offs, however,
declined for the quarter by 48% to $3.41 million compared to $6.54 million for
the comparable quarter one year prior. Non-accrual loans decreased to $21.5
million at June 30, 2011 from $23.7 million at March 31, 2011 and were
comprised of 63 loans and 52 credit relationships. By category: 47% of
non-accrual loans are secured by land and land development properties; 27% are
secured by commercial properties; 11% are secured by residential properties;
11% are secured by residential construction projects; 3% are secured by
commercial real estate

construction projects, and 1% of non-accrual loans are secured by consumer
assets. The loan loss allowance of $11.8 million represented 2.21% of loans
receivable and loans held for sale at June 30, 2011. Total delinquent loans
(past due 30 days or more) and non-accrual loans declined 15% to $45.0 million
at June 30, 2011 compared to $52.8 million at March 31, 2011. The
non-performing assets ("NPAs") to total assets ratio was 5.53% at June 30,
2011 compared to 5.04% at March 31, 2011 and 5.28% at June 30, 2010.

Loans past due 90 days and still accruing increased to $4.9 million at June
30, 2011. One of the loans added to the category with a principal balance of
$1.8 million was brought current shortly after quarter end and the commercial
real estate collateral securing the loan is sold with an anticipated closing
date in Timberland's fourth fiscal quarter. Management believes that three
additional loans totaling $2.3 million retain a high probability of being
brought current during the Bank's fourth fiscal quarter or shortly thereafter.

Other real estate owned ("OREO") and other repossessed assets decreased 15.1%
to $11.0 million at June 30, 2011 from $13.0 million at June 30, 2010, and
increased from $10.1 million at March 31, 2011. At June 30, 2011 the OREO
portfolio consisted of 42 individual properties and four other repossessed
assets. The properties consisted of two condominium projects totaling $3.6
million, 24 land parcels totaling $2.7 million, 11 single family homes
totaling $2.4 million, three commercial real estate properties totaling $1.2
million and two land development projects totaling $1.0 million. During the
quarter ended June 30, 2011 nine OREO properties totaling $1.1 million were
sold for a net loss of $21,000.

Balance Sheet Management

Total assets decreased 1% to $735.0 million at June 30, 2011 from $743.9
million at March 31, 2011. The decrease in total assets was primarily the
result of a $5.9 million decrease in net loans receivable and a $4.7 million
decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Liquidity as measured by cash and cash
equivalents, CDs held for investment and available for sale investments was
21.6% of total liabilities at June 30, 2011 compared to 22.0% at March 31,
2011 and 18.9% one year ago.

Primarily as a result of decreases in land loan and one-to-four family home
loan balances, net loans receivable decreased 1% to $521.3 million at June 30,
2011 from $527.2 million at March 31, 2011. The Bank's land loan portfolio
decreased 13% to $50.2 million at June 30, 2011 from $57.6 million at March
31, 2011. The well diversified land portfolio consists of 405 loans on a
variety of land types including individual building lots, acreage, raw land
and commercially zoned properties. The average loan balance for the entire
land portfolio was approximately $124,000 at June 30, 2011.

"Construction loans represent a modest but important part of our loan
portfolio," Sand noted. "We have observed declining multi-family vacancy rates
and rising rents in our markets. In the third fiscal quarter we added $4.3
million in multi-family construction loans to our portfolio and increased our
commercial real estate construction loans by funding loans to construct
pre-leased medical office space."

Timberland originated $35.7 million of loans during the quarter ended June 30,
2011 compared to $38.3 million for the preceding quarter and $36.5 million for
the comparable quarter one year ago. Timberland 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, 2011, $8.2 million of one-to-four family
fixed-rate mortgage loans were sold compared to $11.4 million for the
preceding quarter and $12.1 million for the quarter ended one year ago.

Timberland's mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and other investments
decreased by $428,000 during the quarter to $12.0 million at June 30, 2011
from $12.4 million at March 31, 2011, primarily as a result of prepayments and
scheduled amortization. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011,
other-than-temporary-impairment ("OTTI") credit related write-downs and
realized losses of $165,000 were recorded on the private label mortgage-backed
securities that were acquired in the in-kind redemption from the AMF family of
mutual funds in June 2008. At June 30, 2011 the Bank's remaining private label
mortgage-backed securities portfolio had been reduced to $4.1 million from an
original acquired balance of $15.3 million.

Total deposits decreased 1% to $589.5 million at June 30, 2011, from $597.2
million at March 31, 2011 primarily as a result of a $5.0 million decrease in
CD account balances, a $3.2 million decrease in money market account balances,
a $1.2 million decrease in non-interest bearing account balances and a
$685,000 decrease in N.O.W. checking account balances. These decreases were
partially offset by a $2.4 million increase in a savings account balances.

Total shareholders' equity decreased $1.25 million to $86.33 million at June
30, 2011, from $87.58 million at March 31, 2011. The decrease in equity was
primarily a result of the net loss for the quarter. Timberland continues to
remain very well capitalized with a total risk based capital ratio of 16.60%
and a Tier 1 leverage capital of 11.01%. Book value per common share was $9.99
and tangible book value per common share was $9.13 at June 30, 2011.

Operating Results

Fiscal third quarter operating revenue (net interest income before provision
for loan losses, plus non-interest income excluding OTTI charges and valuation
allowances or recoveries on mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs")), increased to
$8.48 million from $8.29 million for the preceding quarter and from $8.46
million for the comparable quarter one year ago. Operating revenue increased
in the current quarter compared to the preceding quarter primarily due to an
increase in service charges on deposits and ATM transaction fees. For the
first nine months of fiscal 2011, operating revenue decreased slightly to
$25.55 million from $25.60 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010
primarily due to a decrease in net interest income.

Net interest income increased to $6.41 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2011, from $6.35 million for the immediately prior quarter and from $6.39
million for the comparable quarter one year ago. The net interest margin for
the current quarter of 3.76% was relatively unchanged from the 3.78% margin
reported for the preceding quarter and declined from the 3.85% margin reported
for the comparable quarter one year ago. The net interest margin was reduced
by approximately eight basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 by the
reversal of interest income on loans placed on non-accrual status during the
quarter. For the first nine months of fiscal 2011, net interest income
decreased 1% to $19.01 million from $19.23 million for the first nine months
of fiscal 2010. Timberland's net interest margin for the first nine months of
fiscal 2011 was 3.78% compared to 3.91% for the first nine months of fiscal
2010.

Timberland provisioned $3.40 million to its loan loss allowance for the
quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to $700,000 in the preceding quarter and
$750,000 in the comparable quarter one year prior. For the first nine months
of fiscal 2011, the provision for loan losses decreased 41.5% to $5.00 million
compared to $8.55 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010. Net
charge-offs for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 decreased 47.9% to $3.41
million compared to $6.54 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Net
charge-offs were $651,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Fiscal year to
date, net charge-offs decreased 59.5% to $4.79 million compared to $11.82
million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010.

Non-interest income decreased to $1.76 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2011, from $2.11 million for the preceding quarter and from $1.94 million for
the comparable quarter one year ago. Non-interest income was reduced in the
current quarter by a $165,000 OTTI credit related write-down on private label
mortgage-backed securities and a $137,000 non-cash valuation allowance on the
Bank's mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") asset. The valuation allowance on
the Bank's MSR asset was primarily a result of a decrease in mortgage interest
rates at June 30, 2011 relative to March 31, 2011. The decrease in mortgage
interest rates increased estimated mortgage prepayment speeds, shortened the
estimated average life of loans comprising the MSR asset and reduced the fair
value of the MSR asset. Year to date, non-interest income increased to $6.82
million from $4.34 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010, primarily
due to a $1.69 million reduction in the OTTI charges recorded and a $703,000
MSR valuation allowance recovery.

Total operating (non-interest) expenses increased 10% to $6.78 million for the
third fiscal quarter from $6.18 million for the immediately prior quarter and
6% from $6.42 million for the comparable quarter one year ago. The increased
expenses for the current quarter compared to the preceding quarter were
primarily the result of recording a $490,000 increase in OREO related expenses
and an increase in foreclosure and loan administration expenses, which were
reflected in the other non-interest expense category. OREO related expenses
were lower in the preceding quarter primarily because a $533,000 gain on sale
of OREO properties was recorded which offset other OREO related expenses for
the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Year to date, operating expenses increased
4% to $19.34 million from $18.61 million for the first nine months of fiscal
2010, primarily as a result of increased salary and employee benefits expense,
increased foreclosure and loan administration expenses, and increased OREO
related expenses. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in FDIC
insurance expense and premises and equipment expense.
