PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - --------------------- Contact: Walter Ida (808) 946-1400 Territorial Bancorp Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2009 Results Honolulu, Hawaii, November 13, 2009 - Territorial Bancorp Inc., (NASDAQ: TBNK) (the "Company"), headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, the holding company parent of Territorial Savings Bank, announces net income of $729,000 or $.06 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $2,386,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, net income was $729,000 or $.06 per share. Net income for this period was adversely impacted by a $2,716,000 pre-tax decrease in the carrying value of an investment in trust preferred securities during the quarter and the Company's recording of such reduction in accordance with recent accounting pronouncements. It should be noted that $2,483,000 of this amount was previously reflected as a charge against income in the last quarter of 2008, but due to these recent accounting pronouncements, the Company was required to once again charge income in the amount of $2,483,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2009. Additionally, during the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company paid off the remaining balance of subordinated debentures totaling $24,743,000, which resulted in the recognition of $507,000 of costs relating to the issuance of these debentures during the quarter. The prospect of recognizing additional impairment on our investment in trust preferred securities and the recognition of costs relating to the issuance of these subordinated debentures were previously discussed in the Company's Prospectus dated May 15, 2009. Excluding these items, net income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 would have been $2,688,000, or $.24 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2009. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, net interest income after provision for loan losses was $10,376,000 and $9,509,000, respectively. Total interest and dividend income decreased slightly to $15,303,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $15,519,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. At the same time, total interest expense decreased to $4,917,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $6,023,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Provision for loan losses was $10,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to a reversal of $13,000 of loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Non-interest income was a loss of $1,426,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to income of $1,181,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The loss in non-interest income was primarily due to the recognition of a loss of $2,716,000 resulting from a decrease in the carrying value of trust preferred securities due to such losses being reclassified as credit losses in accordance with accounting pronouncements. Without the recognition of this loss, non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 would have been $1,290,000. Non-interest expense was $7,896,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $6,969,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. As noted above, in paying off the remaining balance of subordinated debentures, costs of $507,000 relating to the issuance of these subordinated debentures were required to be eliminated. With the elimination of these carrying charges, non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 would have been $7,389,000. In addition, the increase of non-interest expense was due to increases in compensation and employee benefit expense and federal deposit insurance premiums. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 net interest income after provision for loan losses was $29,245,000 compared to $26,364,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 Total interest and dividend income rose to $45,987,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $45,681,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Total interest expense decreased to $15,630,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $19,326,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Provision for loan losses was $1,112,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to a reversal of $9,000 of loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 reflecting management's determination to increase its overall allowance for loan losses as result of an increase in non-performing loans experienced in the first three quarters of 2009 and deteriorating environmental factors. Non-interest income was $1,188,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $3,597,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease in non-interest income was primarily due to the recognition of the loss resulting from the decrease in the carrying value of trust preferred securities. Non-interest expense was $21,894,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and $19,877,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in non-interest expense is due to increases in compensation and employee benefits, occupancy, equipment, federal deposit insurance premiums and recognition of costs of $507,000 relating to the issuance of subordinated debentures in the third quarter of 2009. Total assets at September 30, 2009 were $1,356,523,000 compared to $1,224,446,000 at December 31, 2008. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $123,251,000 from $11,216,000, due to stock conversion proceeds from the initial public offering which was completed in July 2009. Deposits increased to $985,584,000 at September 30, 2009 from $923,914,000 at December 31, 2008. Total stockholders' equity increased to $215,791,000 at September 30, 2009 from $99,381,000 at December 31, 2008. This was principally due to the results of the initial public offering completed in July 2009. Total delinquent loans more than ninety days past due was $1,381,000 (representing 6 loans) at September 30, 2009, compared to $149,000 (representing 1 loan) at December 31, 2008. Despite the increase in non-performing assets, asset quality remained strong with the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets being 0.23% at September 30, 2009, compared to 0.02% at December 31, 2008. The allowance for loan losses was $1,913,000 at September 30, 2009 compared to $899,000 at December 31, 2008. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.32% at September 30, 2009 compared to 0.14% at December 31, 2008.
