HomeStreet Reports First Quarter 2025 Results

SEATTLE –April 28, 2025 – (BUSINESS WIRE) – HomeStreet, Inc. (Nasdaq: HMST) (including its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company", "HomeStreet" or "we"), the parent company of HomeStreet Bank (the "Bank"), today announced the financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. As we present non-GAAP measures in this release, the reader should refer to the non-GAAP reconciliations set forth below under the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
“As a result of the implementation of our new strategic plan, we anticipate a return to profitability during 2025,” said Mark Mason, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “During the first quarter of 2025, our core net loss was 44% less than the fourth quarter 2024 core net loss, and our interest margin improved from 1.38% in the fourth quarter of 2024 to 1.82% in the first quarter of 2025. Importantly, the Bank, on a standalone basis, realized $1.1 million in net income in the first quarter of 2025, achieving our strategic goal of returning the Bank to profitability in the first quarter. In addition, our total deposits, excluding brokered deposits, increased $131 million during the first quarter and our loans held for investment declined by $169 million, improving our funding and liquidity position. Given the scheduled repricing of our remaining multifamily and other commercial real estate loans, future anticipated reductions in higher cost borrowings, the repricing of our term deposits to lower rates and continued effective noninterest expense management, we anticipate continuous growth in earnings for the foreseeable future. Additionally, as a result of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024, we do not expect to recognize any income tax expense on our earnings for the next few years.”

“Our net interest margin in the first quarter increased significantly due to the impact of the fourth quarter loan sale as we sold lower yielding loans and paid off higher cost funding,” continued Mark Mason. “Our core noninterest expenses remained stable as seasonal increases in compensation costs were offset by continuing decreases in our full time equivalent employees.”

                    As of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2025
Excluding brokered deposits, total deposits increased by $131 million
Uninsured deposits were $542 million, or 9% of total deposits

Nonperforming assets to total assets: 0.75%
Delinquencies: 1.09%
Allowance for credit losses to LHFI: 0.66%

“Our credit quality remained stable with no significant changes in the amount of nonaccrual loans or delinquent loans,” added Mark Mason. “During the first quarter of 2025, we increased the specific reserves for a syndicated commercial loan by $3.9 million based on updated analysis of the collateral support for this non-performing loan.”

Results of Operations

First Quarter of 2025 Compared to the Fourth Quarter of 2024

Non-core amounts: For the first quarter non-core items include $2.1 million of merger related expenses. In the fourth quarter of 2024 non-core items include an $88.8 million loss on the sale of $990 million of multifamily loans, $53.3 million deferred tax assets valuation allowance and $3.2 million of merger related expense recoveries.

Our net loss and loss before income taxes were $4.5 million and $4.8 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2025, as compared to $123.3 million and $92.5 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2024. Our core net loss and core loss before taxes, which excludes the impact of the loss on the sale of multifamily loans, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance and merger related expenses and recoveries, were $2.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2025, as compared to $5.1 million and $6.4 million respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in core loss before income taxes was primarily due to an increase in net interest income and an increase in noninterest income, partially offset by an increase in provision for credit losses and an increase in noninterest expense.

Due to our cumulative losses over the last three year period ended December 31, 2024, accounting rules required us to provide a valuation allowance for the balance of our deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of 2024. As a result, we do not expect to recognize income tax expense until the deferred tax assets valuation allowance no longer exists. The $0.3 million income tax benefit recognized in the first quarter of 2025 primarily relates to the reversal of the disparate tax effects on our accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") resulting from the recording in the fourth quarter of 2024, of a deferred tax valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets related to the AOCI. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we recorded a $53 million deferred tax allowance which was recorded as income tax expense. Excluding this allowance, the income tax benefit would have been $22.4 million and would have resulted in an effective tax rate of 24.3% for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Our net interest income in the first quarter of 2025 was $3.6 million higher than the fourth quarter of 2024 due to an increase in our net interest margin from 1.38% to 1.82%. The increase in the net interest margin was due primarily to a 32 basis point decrease in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and a 12 basis point increase in the yield on interest earning assets. The increase in yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to the sale of $990 million of lower yielding multifamily loans at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in rates on interest bearing liabilities are primarily due to our paydown at the end of 2024 and beginning of 2025 of higher cost borrowings and brokered certificates of deposit using the proceeds from the sale of multifamily loans.

The $1.0 million provision for credit losses recognized during the first quarter of 2025 was due to a $3.3 million increase in specific reserves which was partially offset by lower general reserves resulting in part from lower loan balances. There was no provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2024 as the benefits of the reduction in loan balances resulting from the loan sale were offset by specific reserves on commercial loans.

Noninterest income in the first quarter of 2025 increased from the fourth quarter of 2024 primarily due to the $88.8 million loss on the sale of multifamily loans in the fourth quarter of 2024 and an increase in loan servicing income. The increase in loan servicing income is primarily due to an increase in the value of our single family mortgage servicing rights.

Noninterest expenses were $5.2 million higher in the first quarter of 2025 due to a $1.3 million increase in
compensation and benefits and a $4.8 million increase in general, administrative and other expenses which were partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in occupancy expenses. The increase in compensation and benefits was primarily due to wage increases in 2025, and increases in employee benefits and employer taxes, which were partially offset by a 3% reduction in FTEs. The increase in general, administrative and other expenses was due to the recovery of $3.2 million in merger expenses in the fourth quarter of 2024 and $2.1 million of merger related expenses incurred in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in occupancy costs was primarily due to lease impairment costs recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024.

First Quarter of 2025 Compared to the First Quarter of 2024

Non-core amounts: For the first quarter of 2025, non-core items include $2.1 million of merger related expenses. During the first quarter of 2024, non-core items include $2.6 million of merger related expenses.

Our net loss and loss before income taxes were $4.5 million and $4.8 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2025, as compared to $7.5 million and $10.6 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2024. Our core net loss and core loss before income taxes, which exclude the impact of merger related expenses, was $2.9 million and $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, as compared to core net loss of $5.5 million and core loss before income taxes of $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2024. The $5.3 million decrease in core loss before income taxes was primarily due to higher net interest income, higher noninterest income and a decrease in noninterest expense, partially offset by an increase in provision for credit losses.

Due to our cumulative losses over the last three year period ended December 31, 2024, accounting rules required us to provide a valuation allowance for the balance of our deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of 2024. As a result, we do not expect to recognize tax expense until the deferred tax assets valuation allowance no longer exists. The $0.3 million income tax benefit recognized in the first quarter of 2025 primarily relates to the reversal of the disparate tax effects on our AOCI resulting from the recording in the fourth quarter of 2024 of a deferred tax valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets related to AOCI. Our effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2024 of 29.0% was higher than our statutory rate of 24.6% due to the impact of tax advantaged investments which creates a higher benefit due to our taxable loss.

Net interest income in the first quarter of 2025 increased $1.1 million as compared to the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to an increase in net interest margin from 1.44% in the first quarter of 2024 to 1.82% in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in net interest margin is due to a 27 basis point decrease in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and an 11 basis point increase in the yield on interest earning assets. The increase in yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to the sale of $990 million of lower yielding multifamily loans at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in rates on interest bearing liabilities are primarily due to our paydown at the end of 2024 and beginning of 2025 of higher cost borrowings and brokered certificates of deposit using the proceeds from the sale of multifamily loans.

The $1.0 million provision for credit losses recognized during the first quarter of 2025 was due to a $3.3 million increase in specific reserves which was partially offset by lower general reserves resulting in part from lower loan balances. During the first quarter of 2024, the provision for credit losses reflect the stable balance of our loan portfolio, a minimal level of identified credit issues in our loan portfolio and the lack of significant expected credit issues arising in future periods.

Noninterest income in the first quarter of 2025 increased from the first quarter of 2024 primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in gain on loan sales and a $1.8 million increase in loan servicing income. The gain on loan sales increased primarily due to an increase in CRE loan sales volume. The increase in loan servicing income is primarily due to an increase in the value of our single family mortgage servicing rights.

The $3.1 million decrease in noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the first quarter of 2024 was primarily due to $1.7 million lower compensation and benefit costs, $0.6 million lower occupancy
costs and $1.0 million lower general and administrative costs. The decrease in compensation and benefit costs was primarily due to an 11% decrease in FTE and lower medical costs, which was partially offset by wage increases given in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in occupancy costs is primarily due to reductions in leased space from branch closures in 2024. The decrease in general and administrative costs reflects the effort made to eliminate or defer nonessential expenses.

Financial Position

During the first quarter of 2025, our total assets decreased $320 million due primarily to a $169 million decrease in loans held for investment and a $154 million decrease in cash. In the first quarter of 2025, total liabilities decreased $324 million due to a $323 million decrease in deposits. The decrease in deposits was primarily due to a $454 million decrease in brokered certificates of deposit which was partially offset by a $131 million increase in non-brokered deposits.

Credit Quality

During the first quarter of 2025, our ratios of nonperforming assets to total assets and total loans delinquent over 30 days, including nonaccrual loans, increased slightly primarily due to a decrease in our loans held for investment. As of March 31, 2025, our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.75% as compared to 0.71% at December 31, 2024, and our ratio of total loans delinquent over 30 days, including nonaccrual loans, to total loans was 1.09% as compared to 1.06% at December 31, 2024. During the first quarter of 2025, we increased the specific reserves for a syndicated commercial loan by $3.9 million based on updated analysis of the collateral support for this loan.

HomeStreet, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance.

In this earnings release, we use the following non-GAAP measures: (i) tangible common equity and tangible assets as we believe this information is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of capital ratios; (ii) core net income (loss) and effective tax rate on core net income (loss) before taxes, which excludes the loss on the sale of $990 million of multifamily loans in the fourth quarter of 2024 due to the unusual nature and size of the loan sale, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024 because it is a significant unusual item, loss on debt extinguishment in the fourth quarter of 2024 and merger related expenses and the related tax impact as we believe this measure is a better comparison to be used for projecting future results; (iii) core noninterest expenses which excludes the loss on debt extinguishment in the fourth quarter of 2024 and merger related expenses as we believe this measure is a better comparison to be used for projecting future noninterest expenses and (iv) an efficiency ratio which is the ratio of noninterest expense to the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, excluding certain items of income or expense considered non-core and excluding taxes incurred and payable to the state of Washington as such taxes are not classified as income taxes and we believe including them in noninterest expense impacts the comparability of our results to those companies whose operations are in states where assessed taxes on business are classified as income taxes.

These supplemental performance measures, as well as additional measures derived from these supplemental performance measures, may vary from, and may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures provided by other companies in our industry. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure may also be a financial metric that is not required by GAAP or other applicable requirements.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by providing additional information used by management that is not otherwise required by GAAP or other applicable requirements. Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating results and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate a comparison of our performance to prior periods. We believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the information below, we have provided reconciliations of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP measures used in this earnings release, or the computation of the non-GAAP financial measure.
