HomeStreet Reports First Quarter 2024 Results

HomeStreet, Inc. (Nasdaq: HMST) (including its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company", "HomeStreet" or "we"), the parent company of HomeStreet Bank, today announced the financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. 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.”

Operating Results

 

First quarter 2024 compared to fourth quarter 2023

Reported Results:

  • Net loss: $7.5 million compared to $3.4 million
  • Loss per fully diluted share: $0.40 compared to $0.18
  • Net interest margin: 1.44% compared to 1.59%

 

Core Results (1):

  • Loss: $5.5 million compared to $2.2 million
  • Loss per fully diluted share: $0.29 compared to $0.12

(1) Core loss and core loss per fully diluted share are non-GAAP measures. For a reconciliation of these measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measure see "Non-GAAP financial measures" in this earnings release.

"In the first quarter, we recognized a net loss of $7.5 million as our net interest margin decreased to 1.44% due to increased funding costs as lower cost deposits continued to migrate to higher yielding products," said Mark Mason, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "During the first quarter, our noninterest expenses include the impacts of seasonally higher employee benefit costs, the impact of wage increases effective in March, lower levels of full time equivalent employees and $2.6 million of costs incurred related to the merger process. While interest rates have stabilized and are projected to decline later in the year, we expect our operating results will continue to be adversely impacted by high funding costs relative to earning assets yields in the near term."

Financial Position

 

As of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2024

  • Noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $5 million
  • Excluding brokered deposits, total deposits increased by $25 million
  • Uninsured deposits were $494 million, or 8% of total deposits
  • Loans held for investment ("LHFI"), remained stable
  • Nonperforming assets to total assets: 0.56%
  • Allowance for credit losses to LHFI: 0.54%
  • Book value per share: $27.96
  • Tangible book value per share: $27.49 (2)

(2) Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP measure. For a reconciliation of this measure to the nearest comparable GAAP measure see "Non-GAAP financial measures" in this earnings release.

"Our deposit balances, excluding brokered deposits, were stable during the first quarter, and our noninterest-bearing balances increased slightly," continued Mark Mason. "While we continue to be impacted by the migration of deposits to higher yielding products, the pace of migration is slowing and the rates paid on higher yielding accounts by competitors have started to decline. We anticipate that if these trends continue, our funding costs will become more stable."

"Our loan balances have remained stable as they continue to be impacted by historically low levels of prepayments. We continue to focus on variable rate loan products with appropriate margins over incremental funding costs," added Mark Mason. "In the first quarter our nonaccrual loans and nonperforming assets increased due to the downgrade of a $10.4 million construction-bridge loan to nonperforming status. The completion and leasing of this 27% loan to value multifamily and mixed-use project has been delayed. The project is substantially complete but unable to lease as there is a dispute over an alleged minor building code violation. Our credit quality, however, remains strong and we have not identified any potentially significant credit issues in our loan portfolio."

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 income (loss) and effective tax rate on core income (loss) before taxes, which excludes goodwill impairment charges 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 and (iii) 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 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 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.
