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 June 30, 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."

"While we continue to work on the merger with Mechanics Bank, which is still expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, we are improving our operating metrics. In the second quarter we increased our net interest margin and continued to lower noninterest expenses," said Mark Mason, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "Our total and core net income for the second quarter of 2025 were consistent with our results for the first quarter of 2025 as continued improvements in our net interest margin, a $3.0 million increase in noninterest income and a $1.4 million decrease in noninterest expenses were offset by a $5.0 million increase in the provision for credit losses. The Bank, on a standalone basis, continued to be profitable in the second quarter of 2025 with net income of $0.7 million."

"We are projecting a return to core profitability in the fourth quarter of this year, and 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," continued Mr. Mason. "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."

(1)

ROATE, the efficiency ratio, core net income (loss), core net income (loss) per fully diluted share, core noninterest expense, core ROAE, core ROATE and core ROAA are non-GAAP measures. For a reconciliation of these measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measure or a computation of the measure see "Non-GAAP financial measures" in this earnings release.

"Our net interest margin continued to improve in the second quarter due primarily to improving funding costs," Mr. Mason stated. "The decrease in our core noninterest expenses reflects our efforts to eliminate or defer nonessential expenses and the continued decline in our full time equivalent employees which decreased from 766 in the first quarter to 750 in the second quarter."

Financial Position

As of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2025

Excluding brokered deposits, total deposits decreased by $146 million
Loans held for investment ("LHFI"), decreased by $136 million
Nonperforming assets to total assets: 0.76%
Delinquencies: 1.11%
Allowance for credit losses to LHFI: 0.78%
Book value per share: $21.30
Tangible book value per share: $20.97 ⁽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.

"The increase in our allowance for credit losses was due to the adverse credit migration of certain multifamily loans," added Mr. Mason. "The downgrading of the risk rating of these loans is the result of our annual analysis of the prior year cash flow and current collateral coverage of portfolio commercial real estate loans. These loans continue to perform with guarantor support and our overall credit metrics remained stable with the total amount of delinquent loans and nonperforming assets decreasing slightly during the second quarter."

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 exclude 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.
