      Timberland Bancorp Earns $1.28 Million in Fiscal First Quarter 2012
   Strong Capital Ratios Increased, Net Interest Margin Stable, Other Real
                          Estate Owned Decreased by 29%

HOQUIAM, WA   January 24, 2012- Timberland Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSBK)
("Timberland" or "the Company") today reported fiscal 2012 first quarter net
income of $1.28 million.  Net income available to common shareholders, after
adjusting for the preferred stock dividend and the preferred stock discount
accretion was $1.02 million, or $0.15 per diluted common share.  This compares
to a net loss to common shareholders of $(339,000), or $(0.05) per diluted
common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and net income to
common shareholders of $1.10 million, or $0.16 per diluted common share, for
the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

"We are pleased to announce a profitable first fiscal quarter that included a
29% reduction in other real estate owned.  Net interest margin was stable,
capital ratios remained strong and loan originations increased 39% over the
prior quarter," said Michael R. Sand, President and Chief Executive Officer.
"We continue to benefit from historically low interest rates and a
strengthening regional economy which have contributed to an increased demand
for home mortgage and business loans."

"Our emphasis on cash management services has contributed to an improvement in
our deposit mix and has supported this quarter's growth in the C&I loan
portfolio," stated Sand.  "Non CD deposits now represent 63% of total deposits
compared to 58% one year ago."

Fiscal First Quarter 2012 Highlights (at or for the period ended December 31,
2011, compared to December 31, 2010, or September 30, 2011):

 *   Loan originations increased 39% over the prior quarter;
 *   Non-interest income increased 31% to $2.44 million from $1.86 million

     value per common share was $9.26 at quarter end.

Non-accrual loans totaled $27.8 million at December 31, 2011 and were
comprised of 71 loans and 60 credit relationships. By category: 39% of
non-accrual loans are secured by land and land development properties; 38% are
secured by commercial properties; 17% are secured by residential properties;
3% are secured by residential construction projects; 2% are secured by
commercial real estate construction projects; and 1% are commercial business
loans.

Total delinquent loans (past due 30 days or more) and non-accrual loans were
$49.1 million at December 31, 2011 compared to $43.4 million at September 30,
2011.  The majority ($4.9 million) of the increase in total delinquent loans
was related to one credit relationship secured by a one-to four-family house
and ocean front and ocean view building lots on Washington's Pacific coast.
These loans were 60 days delinquent at quarter end.  While Timberland cannot
assure the actions of the guarantors, the guarantors have communicated to
Timberland that they have resolved their internal disagreement and anticipate
eliminating the delinquency by January 31, 2012.  Loans past due 90 days and
still accruing, increased to $2.7 million at December 31, 2011 from $1.8
million at September 30, 2011.  "The increase in loans past due 90 days and
still accruing was almost entirely due to a delay in obtaining final plat
approval for a pre-sold residential building plat in King County, Washington,"
said Dean Brydon, Chief Financial Officer.  "We expect the sale to be
consummated in the next few weeks which will reduce the present loans in the
past due 90 days and still accruing category by $2.3 million."  The
non-performing assets to total assets ratio was 5.55% at December 31, 2011
compared to 5.01% three months earlier and 5.87% one year ago.

Other real estate owned ("OREO") and other repossessed assets decreased by
$3.1 million, or 29%, to $7.7 million at December 31, 2011 from $10.8 million
at September 30, 2011 and by 39% from $12.6 million at December 31, 2010.  The
OREO portfolio consisted of 52 individual properties and three other
repossessed assets at December 31, 2011.  The properties consisted of 37 land
parcels totaling $3.5 million, ten single family homes totaling $1.6 million,
three commercial real estate properties totaling $1.2 million, a condominium
project of $842,000 and a land development project of $469,000.  The three
other repossessed assets totaled $73,000.  During the quarter ended December
31, 2011, 12 OREO properties and other repossessed assets totaling $3.7
million were sold for a net loss of $271,000.

Balance Sheet Management

Total assets decreased slightly to $735.8 million at December 31, 2011 from
$738.2 million at September 30, 2011.  The decrease in total assets was
primarily the result of a $3.1 million decrease in OREO and other repossessed
assets.

Liquidity as measured by cash and cash equivalents, CDs held for investment
and available for sale investments was 21.2% of total liabilities at December
31, 2011 compared to 21.1% at September 30, 2011 and 19.5% one year ago.  "We
continue to stay on the short end of the yield curve to manage interest rate
risk," said Brydon.

"We have an extensive and profitable history of lending to owner builders and
funding custom construction projects in our local communities.  We are
continuing to focus on the origination of non-speculative construction loans
to qualified borrowers in our market areas," said Sand.  Net loans receivable
increased $1.0 million to $529.0 million at December 31, 2011 from $528.0
million at September 30, 2011.  The increase was primarily due to a $4.9
million increase in commercial business loan balances, a $3.8 million increase
in commercial real estate construction loan balances, and a $2.6 million
increase in custom and owner/builder construction loan balances.  These
increases were partially offset by a $4.2 million decrease in one-to four-
family loan balances, a $3.0 million decrease in land loan balances and a $2.9
million decrease in consumer loan balances.

Timberland continued reducing its exposure to land development loans and land
loans.  Land development loan balances decreased to $1.8 million at December
31, 2011, a 17% decrease from the preceding quarter and a 66% decrease
year-over-year.  The Bank's land loan portfolio decreased to $46.2 million at
December 31, 2011, a 6% decrease from the preceding quarter and a 21% decrease
year-over-year.  The well diversified land portfolio consists of 372 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 December 31, 2011.

Timberland's loan originations increased 39% to $51.6 million during the
quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared to $37.1 million for the preceding
quarter and increased 5% from the $49.1 million originated during the 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
December 31, 2011, $22.9 million fixed-rate one-to four-family mortgage loans
were sold compared to $16.1 million for the preceding quarter and $26.9
million for the quarter ended one year ago.

Timberland's mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and other investments
decreased by $637,000 during the quarter to $10.2 million at December 31, 2011
from $10.9 million at September 30, 2011, primarily as a result of prepayments
and scheduled amortization.  During the quarter ended December 31, 2011,
other-than-temporary-impairment ("OTTI") credit related write-downs and
realized losses of $60,000 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 December 31, 2011 the Bank's remaining private
label mortgage-backed securities portfolio had been reduced to $3.2 million
from an original acquired balance of $15.3 million.

Total deposits decreased less than 1% to $589.2 million at December 31, 2011,
from $592.7 million at September 30, 2011 primarily as a result of an $8.6
million decrease in certificates of deposit account balances and a $3.3
million decrease in non-interest bearing account balances.  These decreases
were partially offset by a $5.2 million increase in money market account
balances, a $1.7 million increase in savings account balances and a $1.5
million increase in N.O.W. checking account balances.


Total shareholders' equity increased $1.13 million to $87.33 million at
December 31, 2011, from $86.21 million at September 30, 2011.  The increase in
shareholders' equity was primarily a result of net income for the quarter.
Book value per common share was $10.12 and tangible book value per common
share was $9.26 at December 31, 2011.


Operating Results

Fiscal first 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
$8.72 million from $8.61 million for the preceding quarter and decreased from
$8.78 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 gain on sale of loans as Timberland's loan originations
increased from the preceding quarter.

Net interest income decreased to $6.30 million for the quarter ended December
31, 2011, from $6.34 million for the preceding quarter and from $6.33 million
for the comparable quarter one year ago.  The net interest margin for the
current quarter of 3.73% decreased slightly from the 3.75% margin reported for
the preceding quarter and the 3.82% margin reported for the comparable quarter
one year ago.  The decrease in the net interest margin for the quarter ended
December 31, 2011 relative to the preceding quarter was primarily due to the
reversal of interest income on loans placed on non-accrual status during the
current quarter.

Timberland provisioned $650,000 to its loan loss allowance for the quarter
ended December 31, 2011, compared to $1.76 million in the preceding quarter
and $900,000 in the comparable quarter one year prior.  Net charge-offs for
the quarter ended December 31, 2011 decreased to $624,000, which included a
$450,000 recovery of a loan charged off in the prior quarter, compared to
$1.60 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and $415,000 for the
quarter one year ago.

Non-interest income increased 31% to $2.44 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2012, from $1.86 million in the preceding quarter and decreased 17%
from $2.95 million for the comparable quarter one year ago.  The increase in
non-interest income compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to a
$382,000 net change in the valuation adjustment of the Bank's mortgage
servicing rights ("MSRs") and a $224,000 increase in gain on sale of loans.
Non-interest income was increased by an $84,000 non-cash MSR valuation
recovery in the current quarter and was decreased by a $298,000 MSR valuation
allowance in the preceding quarter.  The increase in gain on sale of loans was
primarily due to an increase in the dollar volume of fixed-rate one-to
four-family loans sold during the current quarter.

Total operating (non-interest) expenses decreased 6% to $6.22 million for the
first fiscal quarter from $6.63 million for the preceding quarter and 2% from
$6.38 million for the comparable quarter one year ago.  The decreased expenses
for the current

quarter compared to the preceding quarter were primarily the result of a
decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense.  "Salaries and employee
benefit expenses were lower in the most recent quarter, primarily because of
increased loan origination fees that offset salary expense and a one-time
benefit of $99,000 from changing our employee medical insurance provider,"
Brydon explained.
