FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements often include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “targets,” “potentially,” “probably,” “projects,” “outlook” or similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would” and “could.” The COVID-19, pandemic is adversely affecting us, our customers, counterparties, employees, and third-party service providers, and the ultimate extent of the impacts on our business, financial position, results of operations, liquidity, and prospects is uncertain. Continued deterioration in general business and economic conditions, including further increases in unemployment rates, or turbulence in domestic or global financial markets could adversely affect our revenues and the values of our assets and liabilities, reduce the availability of funding, lead to a tightening of credit, and further increase stock price volatility. In addition, changes to statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies or practices as a result of, or in response to COVID-19, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways. Other factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to:
the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in our ACL on loans and provision for credit losses on loans that may be effected by deterioration in the housing and commercial real estate markets, which may lead to increased losses and nonperforming assets in our loan portfolio, and may result in our ACL on loans no longer being adequate to cover actual losses, and require us to increase our allowance for credit losses on loans;
changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas;
changes in the levels of general interest rates, and the relative differences between short and long term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and funding sources;
risks related to acquiring assets in or entering markets in which we have not previously operated and may not be familiar;
fluctuations in the demand for loans, the number of unsold homes and other properties and fluctuations in real estate values in our market areas;
results of examinations of us by the bank regulators, including the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, initiate an enforcement action against the Company or our bank subsidiary which could require us to increase our allowance for loan losses, write-down assets, change our regulatory capital position, affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, or impose additional requirements on us, any of which could affect our ability to continue our growth through mergers, acquisitions or similar transactions and adversely affect our liquidity and earnings;
legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business
implementing regulations, changes in regulatory policies and principles, or the interpretation of regulatory capital or other rules;
our ability to control operating costs and expenses;
increases in premiums for deposit insurance;
the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain of our assets, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuation;
difficulties in reducing risk associated with the loans on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition;
staffing fluctuations in response to product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect our workforce and potential associated charges;
disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events, failures or interruptions in, or attacks on, our information technology systems or on the third-party vendors who perform several of our critical processing functions;
our ability to retain key members of our senior management team;
costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments;
our ability to implement our growth strategies;
our ability to successfully integrate any assets, liabilities, customers, systems, and management personnel we may acquire into our operations and our ability to realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames or at all, and any goodwill charges related thereto and costs or difficulties relating to integration matters, including but not limited to customer and employee retention, which might be greater than expected;
increased competitive pressures among financial service companies;
changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;
the availability of resources to address changes in laws, rules, or regulations or to respond to regulatory actions;
adverse changes in the securities markets;
inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to us;

Table of Contents
changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the financial institution regulatory agencies or the FASB, including additional guidance and interpretation on accounting issues and details of the implementation of new accounting methods; and
other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services, including from the COVID-19 pandemic, and the other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC including our 2019 Annual Form 10-K.
The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Moreover, you should treat these statements as speaking only as of the date they are made and based only on information then actually known to the Company. The Company does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements. These risks could cause our actual results for future periods to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements by, or on behalf of, us, and could negatively affect the Company’s operating results and stock price performance.

HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(1)Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
(a) Description of Business
The Company is primarily engaged in the business of planning, directing and coordinating the business activities of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Heritage Bank. The Bank is headquartered in Olympia, Washington and conducts business from its 62 branch offices as of June 30, 2020 located throughout Washington State and the greater Portland, Oregon area. The Bank’s business consists primarily of commercial lending and deposit relationships with small businesses and their owners in its market areas and attracting deposits from the general public. The Bank also makes real estate construction and land development loans, consumer loans and originates first mortgage loans on residential properties primarily located in its market areas. The Bank's deposits are insured by the FDIC.

(b) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. It is recommended that these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes be read with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes included in the 2019 Annual Form 10-K. In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.
To prepare unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to management's estimate of ACL on loans, management's evaluation of goodwill impairment and the fair value of financial instruments. It is reasonably possible that management's estimate of ACL on loans of $71.5 million at June 30, 2020, management's conclusion that the fair value of the reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its carrying value at June 30, 2020 as disclosed in Note (6) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and the estimates of fair value of financial instruments as disclosed in Note (13) Fair Value Measurements could materially change.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. Namely, loan receivable balances in the disclosures of Note (3) Loans Receivable and Note (4) Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, which is net of deferred fees and costs. Reclassifications had no effect on the prior years' net income or stockholders’ equity.

(c) Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in preparation of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are disclosed in the 2019 Annual Form 10-K. Other than the adoption of the new accounting standard discussed below, there have not been any material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies from those contained in the 2019 Annual Form 10-K.

(d) Adoption of FASB ASU 2016-13
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the CECL methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans receivable. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures such as loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments. In addition, the adoption of CECL made changes to the accounting for credit losses on investment securities available for sale.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and unfunded commitments. The Company elected not to measure an ACL on accrued
14


Table of Contents
interest receivable on loans receivable or accrued interest receivable on investment securities available for sale as Company policy is to reverse interest income for uncollectible accrued interest receivable balances in a timely manner.
Results for the reporting period beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASU 2016-13, while prior period amounts were not restated and continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The accounting policies for prior periods are included in the 2019 Form 10-K.
The accounting policies for all financial instruments impacted by CECL Adoption are as follows:
Investment Securities
A debt security is placed on nonaccrual status at the time any principal or payments become more than 90 days delinquent. Interest accrued, but not received for a security placed on nonaccrual, is reversed against interest income during the period that the debt security is placed on nonaccrual status.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Investment Securities Available for Sale
Management evaluates the need for an ACL on investment securities available for sale on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For investment securities available for sale in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For investment securities available for sale that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an ACL on investment securities available for sale is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any decline in fair value that has not been recorded through an ACL on investment securities available for sale is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Changes in the ACL on investment securities available for sale are recorded as provision (reversal of provision) for credit losses expense. Losses are charged against the ACL when management believes the uncollectability of an investment security available for sale is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.
Accrued interest receivable on investment securities available for sale is excluded from the estimate of credit losses as interest accrued, but not received, is reversed timely in accordance with the policy for investment securities stated above.
Loans Receivable
Loans receivable include loans originated and indirect loans purchased by the Bank as well as loans acquired in business combinations.
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost. Amortized cost is the outstanding principal balance, net of purchased premiums and discounts, unearned discounts, and net deferred loan origination fees and costs. Accrued interest receivable for loans receivable is reported in prepaid expenses and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Purchased Loans:
Loans acquired in a business combination are designated as “purchased” loans. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Bank's PCI loans were transitioned to PCD loans. The Bank elected to account for the PCD loans individually, terminating the pools of loans that were previously accounted for under ASC 310-30.
Loans purchased after January 1, 2020 are recorded at their fair value at acquisition date net of an ACL on loans expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. The initial ACL on purchased loans is determined using the same methodology as originated loans. For non-PCD loans, the initial ACL is recorded to provision for credit losses expense. For PCD loans, the initial ACL is incorporated into the calculation of the fair value of net assets acquired on the merger date and the net of the PCD loan purchase price and the initial ACL becomes the initial amortized cost basis. The difference between the initial amortized cost basis
15


Table of Contents
and the par value of PCD loans is the noncredit discount or premium for PCD loans. The noncredit discount or premium for PCD loans and both the noncredit and credit discount or premium for non-PCD loans are accreted through the interest and fees on loans line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the life of the loan using the effective interest method for non-revolving credits or the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, for revolving credits. Any unrecognized discount or premium for a purchased loan that is subsequently repaid in full is recognized immediately into income. Subsequent changes to the ACL on loans for purchased loans are recorded through provision for credit losses expense.
Troubled Debt Restructures:
The CARES Act provided guidance around the modification of loans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and outlined, among other criteria, that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as defined by the CARES Act prior to any relief, are not TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g. six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers are considered current under the CARES Act if they are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
The ACL on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost of loans receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected. Loans are charged against the ACL when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged off. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACL. The Bank records the changes in the ACL through earnings, as a provision for credit losses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Accrued interest receivable on loans receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Instead, interest accrued, but not received, is reversed timely in accordance with the policy for loans receivable.
Management has adopted a historic loss, open pool CECL methodology to calculate the ACL on loans. The same methodology is applied to all loans consistent with the guidance of the accounting standard which does not require undue complexity. Under this methodology, the Company has identified segments of loans with similar risk characteristics that align with their identified loan classes. Nonaccrual loans are not considered similar to other loans; therefore, they are evaluated for allowance on an individual basis. The allowance for individually evaluated loans is calculated using either the collateral value method, which considers the likely source of repayment as the value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell, or the net present value method, which considers the contractual principal and interest terms and estimated cash flows available from the borrower to satisfy the debt.
A performing TDR loan is evaluated for allowance on a collective basis with loans with similar risk characteristics if a) it is classified as a risk rating of "Pass", b) it has paid a minimum of six months of principal and interest in accordance with the restructured terms, and c) it has not been over 30 days delinquent in the most recent six month period. If all three criteria on a performing TDR loan are not met, the loan is evaluated for allowance on an individual basis as it is not deemed to have similar characteristics of other loans in the portfolio. Nonaccrual TDR loans, including defaulted TDR loans, and TDR loans that do not meet the similar characteristics criteria, are evaluated for allowance on an individual basis as described above except that the original interest rate is used to discount the expected cash flows, not the rate specified in the restructuring.
For each loan segment collectively measured, the baseline loss rates are calculated using the Bank's average quarterly historical loss information for an economic cycle. The Bank evaluates the historical period on a quarterly basis, with the assumption that economic cycles have historically lasted between 10 and 15 years. The baseline loss rates are applied to each loan's estimated cash flows over the life of the loan under the remaining life method to determine the baseline loss estimate for each loan. Estimated cash flows consider the principal and interest in accordance with the contractual term of the loan and estimated prepayments. Contractual cash flows are based on the amortized cost, as adjusted for balances guaranteed by governmental entities, such as SBA or USDA, or the unguaranteed amortized cost. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications unless either of the following applies: 1) management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a TDR will be executed with an individual borrower or 2) the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company.

Table of Contents
Prepayments are established for each segment based on rolling historical averages for the segments, which management believes is an accurate representation of future prepayment activity. Management reviews the adequacy of the prepayment period assumption on a quarterly basis.
The CECL methodology includes consideration of the forecasted direction of the economic and business environment and its likely impact to the estimated allowance as compared to the historical losses over the reasonable and supportable time frame. Economic forecast models for the current period are uploaded to the model, which targets 16 forecasted macroeconomic factors, such as unemployment rate, GDP, housing price index, commercial real estate price index, disposable income growth, mortgage rates, and certain rate indices. Each of the forecasted segments is impacted by a mix of these macroeconomic factors. Further, each of the macroeconomic factors is utilized differently by segment, including the application of lagged factors and various transformations such as percent change year over year.
The macroeconomic sensitive model is developed for each segment given the current and forecasted conditions, and a macroeconomic multiplier is calculated for each forecast period considering the forecasted losses as compared to the long-term average actual losses of the dataset. The impact of those macroeconomic factors to each segment, both positive or negative, using the reasonable and supportable period, are added to the calculated baseline loss rate. After the reasonable and supportable period, forecasted loss rates revert to historical baseline loss levels over the predetermined reversion period on a straight-lined basis.
The Bank also considers other qualitative risk factors to adjust the estimated ACL calculated by the above mentioned model. The Bank will have a bias for minimal factors unless internal or external factors outside those considered in its historical losses or macroeconomic forecast indicate otherwise. The Bank will establish metrics to estimate the qualitative risk factor by segment based on the identified risk.
In general, management's estimate of the ACL on loans uses relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
The ACL on loans evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on further declines in local and national economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s ACL on loans. Such agencies may require the Bank to make adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations. The Company believes the ACL on loans is appropriate given all of the above considerations.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Commitments
The Bank estimates expected credit losses on unfunded, off-balance sheet commitments over the contractual period in which the Bank is exposed to credit risk from a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless the obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The Bank has determined that no allowance is necessary for its credit card portfolio as it has the ability to unconditionally cancel the available lines of credit.
The allowance methodology for unfunded commitments is similar to the ACL on loans, but additionally includes an estimate of the future utilization of the commitment as determined by historical commitment utilizations and the Bank's estimates of future utilizations given current economic forecasts. The credit risks associated with the unfunded commitments are consistent with the risks outlined for each loan class under the ACL for loans.
The ACL for unfunded commitments is recognized in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and is adjusted as a provision (reversal of provision) for credit losses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses as presented in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations includes the provision for credit losses on loans and the provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments.

(e) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
FASB ASU 2016-13Financial Instruments: Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended by ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, ASU 2019-11, and 2020-02, was originally issued in June 2016. This ASU requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. For public business entities, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted for fiscal years after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 as discussed in the Significant Accounting Policies section above. The adoption had the following impacts:
Investment Securities
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had no historical charge-off or recovery history and did not have any investment securities available for sale outstanding at the adoption date for which an other-than-temporary impairment was previously recorded. At the adoption date of ASU 2016-13, the unrealized losses present in the portfolio of investment securities available for sale were primarily due to decreases in market interest rates on floating rate investment securities since the purchase of the securities and the fair value of these securities was expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity dates. The basis of management’s conclusion was that at December 31, 2019, 83.5% of the investment securities were issued by or guaranteed by the United States government or its agencies, 14.0% were issued and guaranteed by State and local governments and the remainder of the portfolio was invested in at least investment-grade securities. As a result of the analysis, no ACL on investment securities available for sale was recorded upon adoption. See Note (2) Investment Securities for more information.
Loan Receivable
ASU 2016-13 was applied prospectively and replaced the allowance for loan losses with the ACL on loans on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and replaced the related provision for loan losses with the provision for credit losses as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, net of provision for credit losses on loans and unfunded commitments.
The adoption was completed in a specific order beginning with the transition of PCI loans to PCD loans. The Bank elected to account for the PCD loans individually, terminating the pools of loans that were previously accounted for under ASC 310-30. First, an ACL was determined for each PCI loan. The ACL on PCI loans was added to the loans' carrying amount to establish a PCD loan at its amortized cost basis. The difference between the unpaid principal balance and the amortized cost basis of the PCD loan is a noncredit premium or discount, which will be amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the PCD loan. The PCI to PCD transition did not have an impact on beginning retained earnings; however, it did have the effect of reducing the existing allowance for PCI loans by $1.6 million under the CECL methodology as compared to ASC 310-30 methodology.
Following the PCI to PCD transition, the Bank recorded a pretax increase to the ACL on loans of $3.4 million to increase the reserve to the estimated credit losses at January 1, 2020 based on its CECL methodology as part of the cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings. The pretax increase to the ACL on loans of $3.4 million and the reduction in ACL on loans due to the PCI to PCD transition of $1.6 million resulted in a $1.8 million increase in the ACL on loans at January 1, 2020. Upon adoption, the adjusted beginning balance of the ACL on loans as a percentage of loans receivable was 1.01% as compared to 0.96% at December 31, 2019 under the prior incurred loss methodology.
The PCI to PCD transition also resulted in a net discount of $4.3 million for PCD loans, or an increase in the net discount for PCD loans of $1.6 million. Following the transition, the total net discount for purchased loans increased to $10.0 million at January 1, 2020 compared to $8.4 million as of December 31, 2019. The Company accretes the net discount or premium on purchased loans to interest and fees on loans using the effective interest method.
See Note (3) Loans Receivable and Note (4) Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans for more information.
Unfunded Commitments
ASU 2016-13 was applied prospectively and replaced the reserve for unfunded commitments with the ACL on unfunded commitments as included in accrued liabilities and other expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and replaced the provision for unfunded commitments with the provision for credit losses as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, net of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitment and loans. Upon adoption, the Bank recorded a
18


Table of Contents
pretax increase in the beginning ACL on unfunded commitments of $3.7 million. See Note (15) Commitments and Contingencies for more information.
Overall CECL Impact
The adoption of ASU 2016-13, including the above mentioned increase to the ACL on loans of $3.4 million and the increase to the ACL on unfunded commitments of $3.7 million, resulted in a pretax cumulative-effect adjustment of $7.1 million. The impact of this adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2020 was $5.6 million, net of tax.
FASB ASU 2017-04Goodwill (Topic 350), was issued in January 2017 and eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The ASU is effective for annual periods or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019 using a prospective transition method and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of or for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as the Company's quantitative assessment indicated no goodwill impairment.
FASB ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, was issued in August 2018 and modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact to Note (13) Fair Value Measurements in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
FASB ASU 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments was issued in March 2020 and revised a wide variety of topics in the Codification with the intent to make the Codification easier to understand and apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The ASU was effective immediately upon its release and did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of or for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
FASB ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) was issued in March 2020 and provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other transactions affected by the anticipated transition away from LIBOR toward new interest rate benchmarks. For transactions that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance (i) modifications of loan agreements should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate and the modification will be considered "minor" so that any existing unamortized origination fees/costs would carry forward and continue to be amortized and (ii) modifications of lease agreements should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing agreement with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts. ASU 2020-04 also provides numerous optional expedients for derivative accounting and is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the ASU for contract modifications as of January 1, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic within the Codification, the amendments in this ASU must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. The Company anticipates this ASU will simplify any modifications we execute between the selected start date (yet to be determined) and December 31, 2022 that are directly related to LIBOR transition by allowing prospective recognition of the continuation of the contract, rather than extinguishment of the old contract resulting in writing off unamortized fees/costs. The Company is evaluating the impacts of this ASU and have not yet determined whether LIBOR transition and this ASU will have material effects on its business operations and Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has evaluated these investment securities available for sale as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and determined that no ACL is necessary. Unrealized losses on investment securities have not been recognized into income because the issuers of bonds are investment grade (rated A- or higher), the securities carry governmental guarantees, management does not intend to sell and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the bonds and the fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.

(e) Accrued Interest Receivable
Accrued interest receivable excluded from amortized cost on investment securities available for sale totaled $3.9 million and $3.7 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. No amounts of accrued interest receivable were reversed against interest income on investment securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

(3)Loans Receivable
(a) Loan Origination/Risk Management
The Company originates loans in the ordinary course of business and has also acquired loans through mergers and acquisitions. Accrued interest receivable was excluded from disclosures presenting the Company's amortized cost of loans receivable as it was deemed insignificant. Accrued interest receivable on loans totaled $13.9 million and $10.7 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
The Company categorizes loans in one of the four segments of the total loan portfolio: commercial business, one-to-four family residential, real estate construction and land development and consumer. Within these segments are classes of loans for which management monitors and assesses credit risk in the loan portfolios. A detailed description of the portfolio segments and classes is contained in the 2019 Annual Form 10-K, except for SBA PPP loans. The Bank began originating SBA PPP loans during the three months ended June 30, 2020 following the passage of the CARES Act. SBA PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA, intended for businesses impacted by COVID-19 and designed to provide near term relief to help small businesses sustain operations. The loans are either two-year or five-year maturities that earn interest at 1%. The Bank also earned a fee based on the size of the loan, which is recognized over the duration of the loan. The balance of unamortized net deferred fees on SBA PPP loans was $25.3 million at June 30, 2020. The Bank expects that the great majority of SBA PPP borrowers will seek full or partial forgiveness of their loan obligations in accordance with the CARES Act.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020, which increased the beginning ACL on loans as discussed in Note (4) Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans.

(b) Concentrations of Credit
As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, there were no concentrations of loans related to any single industry in excess of 10% of the Company’s total loans.

(c) Credit Quality Indicators
As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to (i) the risk grade of the loans, (ii) the level of classified loans, (iii) net charge-offs, (iv) nonperforming loans and (v) the general economic conditions of the United States of America and specifically the states of Washington and Oregon. The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each loan on a numerical scale of 1 to 10. Risk grades are aggregated to create the risk categories of "Pass" for grades 1 to 6, "Special Mention" ("SM") for grade 7, "Substandard" ("SS") for grade 8, "Doubtful" for grade 9 and "Loss" for grade 10. Descriptions of the general characteristics of the risk grades, including qualitative information on how the risk grades relate to the risk of loss, are contained in the 2019 Annual Form 10-K. There were no loans with a risk grade of doubtful or loss at June 30, 2020.
Numerical loan grades for loans are established at the origination of the loan. Changes to loan grades are considered at the time new information about the performance of a loan becomes available, including the receipt of updated financial information from the borrower, and scheduled loan reviews performed by the Bank’s internal Loan Review department. For consumer loans, the Bank follows the FDIC’s Uniform Retail Credit Classification and Account Management Policy for subsequent classification in the event of payment delinquencies or default. Typically, an individual loan grade will not be changed from the prior period unless there is a specific indication of credit deterioration or improvement. Credit deterioration is evidenced by delinquency, direct communications with the borrower, or other borrower information that becomes known to management. Credit improvements are evidenced by known facts regarding the borrower or the collateral property.

(1) Includes subsequent payments after modifications and reflects the balance as of period end. As the Bank did not forgive any principal or interest balance as part of the loan modifications, the Bank’s amortized cost in each loan at the date of modification (pre-modification) did not change as a result of the modification (post-modification).
(2) Number of contracts and outstanding principal balance represent loans which have balances as of period end as certain loans may have been paid-down or charged-off during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

The tables above include 34 and 37 loans, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 12 and 20, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 that were previously reported as TDR loans. The Bank typically grants shorter extension periods to continually monitor these TDR loans despite the fact that the extended date might not be the date the Bank expects sufficient cash flow from these borrowers. The Bank does not consider these modifications a subsequent default of a TDR as new loan terms, specifically new maturity dates, were granted. Of the remaining first-reported TDR loans, the concessions granted largely consisted of maturity extensions, interest rate modifications or a combination of both. The potential losses related to TDR loans are considered in the period the loan was first reported as a TDR loan and are adjusted, as necessary, in the current period based on more recent information. The related ACL at June 30, 2020 for loans that were modified as TDR loans during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $1.6 million.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 all of the loans in the tables above defaulted because each was past its modified maturity date and the borrower has not subsequently repaid the credits. The Bank has chosen not to extend further the maturity date on these loans. The Bank had an ACL of $494,000 at June 30, 2020 related to these TDR loans which defaulted during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Bank had a specific valuation allowance of $304,000 at June 30, 2019 related to these TDR loans which defaulted during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Bank recorded $274,000 and $882,000, respectively, of interest income related to performing TDR loans. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Bank recorded $397,000 and $698,000, respectively, of interest income related to performing TDR loans.

(4)Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
Effective January 1, 2020, the Bank adopted ASU 2016-13. The adoption replaced the allowance for loan losses with the ACL on loans and replaced the related provision for loan losses with the provision for credit losses on loans.
The baseline loss rates used to calculate the ACL on loans at January 1, 2020 utilized the bank's average quarterly historical loss information from December 31, 2007 through December 31, 2019. The baseline loss rate period for the ACL at June 30, 2020 used historical losses beginning December 31, 2012 through the balance sheet date. The Bank updated the historical loss period as it believes the economic cycle has ended, as evidenced by certain economic forecasts signaling that a recession has started given the prolonged, profound, and pervasive contraction in economic activities, otherwise known as the Global Coronavirus Recession. The Bank believes the historic loss rates are viable inputs to the current expected credit loss methodology as the Bank's lending practice and business has remained relatively stable throughout the periods. While the Bank's assets have grown, the credit culture has stayed consistent.
Prepayments included in the methodology at January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2020 were based on the 48-month rolling historical averages for each segment, which management believes is an accurate representation of future prepayment activity. Management's allowance estimates at January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2020 used a four quarter reasonable and supportable period, as forecasts beyond this time period tend to diverge in economic assumptions and may be less comparable to actual future events. As the length of the reasonable and supportable period increases, the degree of judgment involved in estimating the allowance will likely increase. The Bank used a two quarter reversion period in calculating its allowance as of January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2020 as it believes the
33

historical loss information is relevant to the expected credit losses and recognizes the declining precision and increasing uncertainty of estimating credit losses in those periods beyond which it can make reasonable and supportable forecasts. Risk characteristics by segment considered in the CECL methodology are the same as those disclosed in the 2019 Annual Form 10-K.

The Bank recognized net charge-offs of $2.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to a commercial and industrial charge-off of $1.7 million related to a lending relationship that has been experiencing difficulties. Due to issues surrounding the control of the underlying loan collateral, the Bank determined it appropriate to charge-off the entire balance and pursue an aggressive collection strategy. Net charge-offs also included small dollar charge-off on a large volume of consumer loans of $806,000 and a full recovery of a commercial and industrial agricultural lending relationship of $963,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2020, which was charged-off during the three months ended December 31, 2019.
The provision for credit losses on loans of $35.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was necessary to build the allowance to account for the current and forecasted economic conditions amidst COVID-19. The macroeconomic forecast used in the June 30, 2020 CECL model was as of June 9, 2020, and included the actual results of the sharp recession, followed by forecasted widened "U-shaped" recovery with unemployment rate spiking to 13% in second quarter 2020 and decreasing to 5% by 2023, and GDP slumping 6.1% in 2020, but rebounding 6.3% in 2021, with modest increases in GDP in future years. This forecast is in stark contrast to that used in CECL model as of January 1, 2020, which predicted steady GDP growth and unemployment rates, among other factors.

(6)Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

(a) Goodwill
The Company’s goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in the following mergers: Premier Commercial Bancorp on July 2, 2018; Puget Sound Bancorp on January 16, 2018; Washington Banking Company on May 1, 2014; Valley Community Bancshares on July 15, 2013; Western Washington Bancorp in 2006 and North Pacific Bank in 1998. The Company’s goodwill is assigned to the Bank and is evaluated for impairment at the Bank level (reporting unit).
There were no additions to goodwill during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2019 and determined based on its Step 1 analysis that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value, such that the Company's goodwill was not considered impaired. Due to the deteriorating market conditions as a result of
37


Table of Contents
the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined a triggering event occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and consequently performed a quantitative assessment of goodwill as of May 31, 2020. We estimated the fair value of the reporting unit by weighting results from the market approach and the income approach. Significant assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies for goodwill were employed and included, but were not limited to, prospective financial information, growth rates, terminal value, discount rates, and comparable multiples from publicly traded companies in our industry. Based on this quantitative test, we determined that the fair value of the reporting unit more likely than not exceeded the carrying value. Changes in the economic environment, operations of the reporting unit or other adverse events could result in future impairment charges which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operating results.

(b) Other Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets represent CDI acquired in business combinations. The useful life of the CDI was estimated to be ten years for the acquisitions of Premier Commercial Bancorp, Puget Sound Bancorp, Washington Banking Company, and Valley Community Bancshares.

(7)Junior Subordinated Debentures
As part of the acquisition of Washington Banking Company on May 1, 2014, the Company assumed trust preferred securities and junior subordinated debentures with a total fair value of $18.9 million at the merger date. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the balance of the junior subordinated debentures, net of unaccreted discount, was $20.7 million and $20.6 million, respectively.
The adjustable rate of the trust preferred securities at June 30, 2020 was 1.86%. The following table presents the weighted average rate of the junior subordinated debentures for the periods indicated:

Potential dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of earnings per share if their effect is anti-dilutive. Anti-dilution occurs when the exercise price of a stock option or the unrecognized compensation cost per share of a restricted stock award exceeds the market price of the Company’s stock. For the three and six months

Table of Contents
ended June 30, 2020, there were 258,412 and 124,904 anti-dilutive shares outstanding, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, there were 89,507 and 61,333 anti-dilutive shares outstanding, respectively.

(b) Dividends
The timing and amount of cash dividends paid on the Company's common stock depends on the Company’s earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors. Dividends on common stock from the Company depend substantially upon receipt of dividends from the Bank, which is the Company’s predominant source of income.
The following table summarizes the dividend activity for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and calendar year 2019:

* Denotes a special dividend.
The FDIC and the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Banks have the authority under their supervisory powers to prohibit the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company. Additionally, current guidance from the Federal Reserve provides, among other things, that dividends per share on the Company’s common stock generally should not exceed earnings per share, measured over the previous four fiscal quarters. Current regulations allow the Company and the Bank to pay dividends on their common stock if the Company’s or the Bank’s regulatory capital would not be reduced below the statutory capital requirements set by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC.
(c) Stock Repurchase Program
The Company has had various stock repurchase programs since March 1999. On March 12, 2020 the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 5% of the Company's outstanding common shares, or 1,799,054 shares, under the twelfth stock repurchase plan. The number, timing and price of shares repurchased will depend on business and market conditions and other factors, including opportunities to deploy the Company's capital.
No shares were repurchased under the Company's stock repurchase plans during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as the Company suspended repurchases in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company repurchased the remaining 639,922 shares available under the eleventh stock repurchase plan at a weighted average price per share of $23.95 and repurchased 155,778 shares at a weighted average share price of $20.34 under the twelfth stock repurchase plan, which is a total of 795,700 shares under both plans at a weighted average share price of $23.25.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company repurchased 28,000 shares available under the eleventh stock repurchase plan at a weighted average price per share of $29.12.
In addition to the stock repurchases under a stock repurchase plan, the Company repurchases shares to pay withholding taxes on the vesting of restricted stock awards and units. The following table provides total shares repurchased to pay withholding taxes during the periods indicated:

(13)Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
Level 1: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, or interest in open-end mutual funds that allow the Company to sell its ownership interest back to the fund at net asset value on a daily basis. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets, liabilities, or funds.
Level 2: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or valuations using methodologies with observable inputs.
Level 3: Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, such as option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques using unobservable inputs, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

(a) Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to measure the fair value of certain assets on a recurring and nonrecurring basis:
Investment Securities Available for Sale:
The fair values of all investment securities are based upon the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the security. If available, fair values of investment securities are determined by quoted market prices (Level 1). For investment securities where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices on similar securities (Level 2). For investment securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated by using observable and unobservable inputs such as discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Security valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for comparable assets or liabilities.
Collateral-Dependent Loans:
Collateral-dependent loans are identified as part of the calculation of the ACL on loans. The fair value used to measure credit loss for this type of loan is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals which are generally obtained at least every 18 months or earlier if there are changes to risk characteristics of the underlying loan. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value based on the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of
42


Table of Contents
the valuation and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business (Level 3). Individually evaluated loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis and their ACL on loans is adjusted accordingly.
Other Real Estate Owned:
Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals which are generally obtained at least every 18 months or earlier. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Appraisals for both collateral-dependent loans and other real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers for commercial properties or certified residential appraisers for residential properties whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, the Company reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. On a quarterly basis, the Company compares the actual selling price of collateral that has been liquidated to the most recent appraised value to determine what additional adjustment should be made to the appraisal value to arrive at fair value.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Company obtains broker or dealer quotes to value its interest rate derivative contracts, which use valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

Nonrecurring Basis
The Company may be required to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
The following tables below represent assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and the net losses recorded in earnings during three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

(b) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Because broadly traded markets do not exist for most of the Company’s financial instruments, the fair value calculations attempt to incorporate the effect of current market conditions at a specific time. These determinations are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and do not include tax ramifications; therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision, substantiated by comparison to independent markets and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the instruments. There may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results. For all of these reasons, the aggregation of the fair value calculations presented herein do not represent, and should not be construed to represent, the underlying value of the Company.

(14)Cash Requirement
The Company is required to maintain an average reserve balance with the Federal Reserve Bank or maintain such reserve balance in the form of cash. Effective March 24, 2020 the Federal Reserve lowered the reserve ratios on transaction accounts maintained at a depository institution to zero percent. There was no required reserve balance at June 30, 2020 and a required balance of $17.1 million at December 31, 2019 was met by holding cash and maintaining an average balance with the Federal Reserve Bank.

(15)Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into various types of transactions that include commitments to extend credit that are not included in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company applies the same credit standards to these commitments as it uses in all its lending activities and has included these commitments in its lending risk evaluations. The majority of the commitments presented below are variable rate. Loan commitments can be either revolving or nonrevolving. The Company’s exposure to credit and market risk under commitments to extend credit is represented by the amount of these commitments.
Upon CECL adoption, as described in Note (1) Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, the Company recorded an increase in the beginning ACL on unfunded commitments of $3.7 million, representing the change in methodology from an estimate of incurred losses at the balance sheet date, with an estimated probability of funding, to an estimate of losses on future utilization over the entire contractual period.

Table of Contents
June 30, 2020 compared to an effective tax rate of 16.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in the effective tax rate for both periods was primarily due a provision in the CARES Act, which permitted the Company to recognize a benefit from net operating losses related to prior acquisitions of $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and secondarily due to a decrease in the pre-tax income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, also reflective of increasing tax-exempt investments.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of the Company as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The information contained in this section should be read with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes included herein, the Forward Looking Statements included herein, the Risk Factors included herein, and the December 31, 2019 audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes included in our 2019 Annual Form 10-K.

Overview
Heritage Financial Corporation is a bank holding company which primarily engages in the business activities of our wholly-owned financial institution subsidiary, Heritage Bank. We provide financial services to our local communities with an ongoing strategic focus on our commercial banking relationships, market expansion and asset quality. At June 30, 2020, we had total assets of $6.56 billion, total liabilities of $5.77 billion and total stockholders’ equity of $793.7 million. The Company’s business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in the Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report relates primarily to the Bank’s operations.
Our business consists primarily of commercial lending and deposit relationships with small businesses and their owners in our market areas and attracting deposits from the general public. We also make real estate construction and land development loans and consumer loans. We additionally originate for sale or for investment purposes one-to-four family residential loans on residential properties located primarily in our markets. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, we ceased indirect auto loan originations.
Our core profitability depends primarily on our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, which is the income that we earn on interest earning assets, comprised primarily of loans and investment securities, and interest expense, which is the amount we pay on our interest bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. Management strives to match the repricing characteristics of the Company's interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities to protect net interest income from changes in market interest rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve. Like most financial institutions, our net interest income is affected significantly by general and local economic conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, and by governmental policies and actions of regulatory agencies. Net interest income is additionally affected by changes on the volume and mix of interest earning assets, interest earned on these assets, the volume and mix of interest bearing liabilities and interest paid on these liabilities.
Our net income is affected by many factors, including the provision for credit losses on loans. The provision for credit losses on loans is dependent on changes in the loan portfolio and management’s assessment of the collectability of the loan portfolio as well as prevailing economic and market conditions. The ACL on loans was impacted during the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to CECL Adoption, which estimates losses over the life of the loans as compared to the prior model of incurred loss as of period end, and by forecasted credit deterioration due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as discussed below. Management believes that the ACL on loans reflects the amount that is appropriate to provide for current expected credit losses in our loan portfolio based on our methodology.
Net income is also affected by noninterest income and noninterest expense. Noninterest income primarily consists of service charges and other fees and other income. Noninterest expense consists primarily of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing and professional services. Compensation and employee benefits consist primarily of the salaries and wages paid to our employees, payroll taxes, expenses for retirement and other employee benefits. Occupancy and equipment expenses are the fixed and variable costs of buildings and equipment, and consists primarily of lease payments, depreciation charges, maintenance, and costs of utilities. Data processing consists primarily of processing and network services related to the Bank’s core operating system, including account processing systems, electronic payments processing of products and services, and internet and mobile banking channels. Professional services consists primarily of third party service providers, such as consultants and software-as-a-service providers, and legal fees.

Results of operations may also be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Other income and other expenses are also impacted by growth of operations and growth in the number of loan and deposit accounts through acquisitions and core banking business growth.
Because the length of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of the extraordinary measures being put in place to address its economic consequences are unknown, including the 150 basis point reduction in the targeted federal funds rate during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, until the pandemic subsides, the Company expects its net interest income and net interest margin will be adversely affected in the near term, if not longer.

COVID-19 Impact
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and in an effort to mitigate the adverse impact on our employees, customers and the communities we serve, the Bank has implemented various lending measures to address customer and community needs, including commercial, mortgage and consumer lending assistance. The Bank has also implemented various retail-impacting measures for the safety and health of customers and employees. The following provides details of the Bank's special programs and policies.
Commercial Lending Assistance
The Bank has made available the following initial short-term relief options to commercial borrowers affected by COVID-19:
Interest only payments on term debt for up to 90 days;
Temporary increases to line of credit commitments when supported by underlying assets, including changing the borrowing base formula or changing existing commitment restrictions to allow higher advance rates;
Full payment deferrals for up to 90 days when an interest only period does not provide sufficient relief (contingent on credit administration approval);
Loan re-amortization, especially in cases where significant prepayments of principal have occurred;
Covenant waivers and resets;
Processing new loan requests, such as a line of credit for working capital support;
Maturity extensions of up to 90 days for maturing lines of credit or term loans.
Based on the depth and breadth of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank will extend similar relief options for a subsequent or second modification to certain commercial borrowers. The Bank has a preference for offering interest only payments on these secondary modifications.
All commercial loans modified due to COVID-19 will be risk rated "Watch" or worse except in certain cases where a borrower has performed well prior to the modification request and exhibits a strong financial position, or the loan has significant guarantor support. Further requests for relief beyond the initial modification will be reassessed for a more severe risk rating as part of the review process to grant further relief.
The Bank has implemented a special, streamlined initial 90-day interest only payment modification process for borrowers in certain industries as a result of the COVID-19 "stay at home" orders.
The Bank will work constructively with commercial borrowers to identify loan modifications that are based on the facts and circumstances of each borrower, and to protect the safety and soundness of the Bank.
Mortgage and Consumer Lending Assistance
In order to effectively manage or mitigate adverse impacts on mortgage and consumer borrowers affected by COVID-19, the Bank has implemented the initial relief action through a streamlined approval process to include 90-day payment deferrals when the borrower meets the following criteria:
The borrower's ability to pay has been negatively impacted by COVID-19;
The loan is not over 30 days past due on the date of the request; and
The loan is risk rated "Pass" prior to the request for payment deferral.
Mortgage and consumer loans that do not meet the criteria to receive streamlined approval qualifications are considered outside of the automatic deferral process and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the Bank's credit team. Certain consumer term loans with current balances over $100,000 with original terms over 96 months will also be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and will not qualify for the streamlined approval process. For consumer lines of credit, for borrowers that have sufficient available credit on their line, the borrower can draw on their line of credit to make payments in lieu of payment deferrals, and for borrowers that do not have sufficient available credit, the Bank will offer a 90-day payment deferral. However, after the deferral period these borrowers will be billed for the deferred months of accrued interest and the Bank will work with those borrowers unable to pay

all months of interest at that time. For credit card customers, a skip payment option was included in the borrowers' billing statements between April 1, 2020 and May 30, 2020.
All mortgage and consumer loans modified via the initial streamlined process due to COVID-19 will remain risk rated "Pass" through the initial 90-day relief period. This risk rating is subject to change should the Bank receive additional information within the 90-day relief period that the borrower does not intend to repay the loan, which may result in a risk rating downgrade and the implementation of further collection efforts.
Based on the depth and breadth of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank will extend similar relief options for a subsequent or second modification to certain consumer borrowers. The Bank has a preference for offering interest only payments on these secondary modifications.
Borrowers under COVID-19 related deferral programs will not have negative data reported to the credit reporting agencies. Credit reporting will not be turned off on these accounts, but contractual due dates will be advanced in the core loan system with appropriate loan documentation to legally support the new due dates.

COVID Modifications:
During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and as a direct result of cited COVID-19 related issues and the Bank's lending assistance programs described above, the Bank made initial modifications on loans. The following table details the amortized cost, count, and type of initial modifications by each loan class as of June 30, 2020.

These modifications were not classified as TDRs at June 30, 2020 in accordance with the guidance of the CARES Act.
Of the initial modifications presented in the table above, 124 loans totaling $122.3 million were downgraded in conjunction with or shortly after the initial modification. The majority of the downgrades by count and amount were to a "Watch" grade, and were therefore not classified as potential problem loans.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Bank made secondary modifications to 24 loans totaling $27.7 million as of June 30, 2020, of which $26.1 million was for commercial business loans.

COVID Downgrades:
In addition to modifications and related downgrades described above in the COVID Modifications section, the Bank downgraded 74 loans totaling $50.5 million without a related modification during the six months ended June 30, 2020. These downgrades were also a direct result of cited COVID-19 related issues. In total, 197 loans totaling $172.5 million were downgraded as of June 30, 2020. Of these downgrades, 185 loans totaling $154.6 million were downgraded to a "Watch" grade. The remaining loans were risk rated "Special Mention" or worse and were classified as potential problem loans.

SBA Paycheck Protection Program
During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Bank began to offer SBA PPP loans to its existing and new customers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. SBA PPP loans are designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll. The CARES Act and its subsequent amendments during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 allocated $669.0 billion to the program. Utilizing our internal technology solutions team, the Bank was able to develop an automated platform to control and manage processing for SBA PPP loans and began originations under this program on April 6, 2020. The Bank accepted applications for SBA loans, including loans to independent contractors, sole proprietors and partnerships as allowed under the guidance from the U.S. Treasury and SBA that was issued April 14, 2020.
As of June 30, 2020, the Bank has funded 4,498 loans totaling $883.9 million. The average loan balance for funded loans was $197,000. Of the funded loans, approximately 20% of both the number of loans funded and amount originated were to new customers.
The Bank earns 1% interest on these loans as well as a fee from the SBA to cover processing costs, which is amortized over the life of the loan. The balance of unamortized net deferred fees on SBA PPP loans was $25.3 million at June 30, 2020.
Additionally, the Federal Reserve established the PPPLF under Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act to bolster the effectiveness of the SBA PPP, which provides relief to American workers and businesses from the impacts of COVID-19. Under the PPPLF, the Federal Reserve will supply liquidity to participating financial institutions through term financing backed by PPP loans. As of June 30, 2020, the Bank was approved to utilize the PPPLF. The Bank may utilize the Federal Reserve Bank's PPPLF pursuant to which the Bank will pledge PPP loans as collateral to obtain Federal Reserve Bank non-recourse loans to support the origination of these loans. The PPPLF will take the PPP loans as collateral at face value and the transfer will have a pass through effect on our liquidity position. During the six months ended and as of June 30, 2020, the Bank did not utilize the PPPLF as it had sufficient other sources of funds.

SBA Relief
Heritage is an active SBA lender in the Pacific Northwest and had SBA loans totaling $63.0 million and $64.1 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, Heritage participated in the SBA's Debt Relief Program under the CARES Act. The CARES Act appropriated $17.0 billion to subsidize small business loans. Under this program, the SBA will pay principal and interest for existing current SBA loans for a period of six months, commencing with payments due after March 27, 2020 as well as new SBA 7(a), 504, and microloans disbursed prior to September 27, 2020.
Under this program, the borrowers will not have to reimburse the SBA or the Bank for these payments. If a borrower had already requested a payment deferral, and the deferral was granted, the six month period begins after the deferment period. There is no limitation to the monthly principal and interest amount that the SBA will pay on behalf of the borrower. The borrower can also make other principal-only payments during the six month period.

Retail Policy Changes
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions to the Bank's operations and resulted in the implementation by the Bank of various social distancing measures to address customer and community needs.
Branch Lobby Closures. To ensure the safety of our customers and employees, most branch lobbies were closed in March 2020 with most services processed through the drive-up or by appointment. On June 22, 2020, management elected to open lobbies for its three branches located within Island County, which has moved into Phase 3 as part of Washington State's Phased Approach: Reopening Business and Modifying Physical Distancing Measures, of which the fourth phase is the least restrictive phase ahead of a full reopening. Management believes this initial and

limited approach in Island County will provide valuable insights on how to effectively implement the Bank's safety precautions and to better understand any risks or changes that will need to be addressed before considering opening other locations.
Early Withdrawal Penalty Waivers. For customers that may need access to funds in their certificate of deposits to assist with living expenses during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank will assist these customers by waiving early withdrawal penalties for withdrawals up to $25,000.
Overdraft & Fee Reversals. Overdraft and fee reversals are waived on a case-by-case basis. The Bank is cautious when paying overdrafts beyond the customer's total deposit relationship, overdraft protection options or their overdraft coverage limits.

Employee Changes
Heritage has committed to keeping its employees safe during this COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, many policy changes have been implemented including the following measures:
Heritage follows the guidelines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and/or local officials, such as social distancing and maintaining six feet of separation between employees.
Heritage has provided additional cleaning and disinfecting solutions to each location.
A significant number of back-office employees are working remotely.
Essential business travel is limited to those situations where business cannot reasonably be conducted without face-to-face interaction or visits to specific locations.
Certain front-line employees were given additional hourly pay.
Heritage has offered up to 80 hours for full time employees of COVID-19 related absences, to use in lieu of sick or vacation time, for the employee's own illness, to care for an ill family member, due to a required self-isolation/quarantine or school/day care closures.

Heritage continues to monitor the situation and makes additional accommodations as necessary.

Earnings Summary
Comparison of quarter ended June 30, 2020 to the comparable quarter in the prior year.
Net loss was $6.1 million, or $(0.17) per common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to net income of $16.0 million, or $0.43 per diluted common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Net income decreased $22.1 million, or 138.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to provision for credit losses on loans of $25.9 million as a result of the worsening impact of COVID-19 on the economy. The provision for loan losses of $1.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 was estimated under the incurred loss methodology.
Net interest income as a percentage of average interest earning assets, or net interest margin, decreased 69 basis points to 3.64% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 4.33% for the same period in 2019. The decrease in net interest margin was due primarily to changes in the mix of interest earning assets, including the origination of SBA PPP loans with an average balance of $667.4 million earning a yield of 2.97%, and decreases in yields of interest earning assets as a result of decreases in short-term market interest rates, offset partially by decreases in the cost of interest bearing liabilities during the period.
The efficiency ratio consists of noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income before provision for credit losses plus noninterest income. The Company’s efficiency ratio was 63.31% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 64.62% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The change in the efficiency ratio was attributable to the decrease in noninterest expense being slightly greater than the net of the increase in noninterest income and the decrease in net interest income.
Comparison of six months ended June 30, 2020 to the comparable period in the prior year.
Net income was $6.1 million, or $0.17 per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $32.5 million, or $0.88 per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Net income decreased $26.5 million, or 81.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to an increase in the provision for credit losses on loans of $35.9 million compared to a provision for loan losses of $2.3 million for the same period in 2019 as a result of estimated credit losses forecasted due to COVID-19 and its impact on the economy, offset partially by a decrease in income tax expense of $6.7 million due to lower pre-tax income and a provision in the CARES Act permitting the recognition of a benefit from net operating losses related to prior acquisitions; and an increase in noninterest income of $2.7 million, or 18.3%, due primarily to gain on sale of loans and gain on sale of investment securities.

Table of Contents
The net interest margin decreased 50 basis points to 3.84% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 4.34% for the same period in 2019. The decrease in net interest margin was due primarily to changes in the mix of interest earning assets, including the origination of SBA PPP loans with an average balance of $333.7 million earning a yield of 2.97%, and decreases in yields of interest earning assets as a result of decreases in short-term market interest rates, offset partially by decreases in the cost of interest bearing liabilities during the period.
The Company’s efficiency ratio was 63.75% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 64.23% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The change in the efficiency ratio was primarily attributable to an increase in noninterest income, offset partially by the decrease in the net interest income.

Net Interest Income
One of the Company's key sources of earnings is net interest income. There are several factors that affect net interest income including, but not limited to, the volume, pricing, mix and maturity of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities; the volume of noninterest earning assets, noninterest bearing demand deposits, other noninterest bearing liabilities and stockholders' equity; market interest rate fluctuations; and asset quality.
Market rates impact the results of the Company's net interest income, including the significant decreases in the federal funds target rate by the Federal Reserve in response to the COVID-19 pandemic during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The following table provides the federal funds target rate history and changes from each period since December 31, 2018:

Interest Income
Total interest income decreased $1.2 million, or 2.2%, to $54.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $55.2 million for the same period in 2019 due primarily to decreases in yields on adjustable rate instruments following significant decreases in the federal funds target rate by the Federal Reserve short-term market rates, offset partially by increases in interest earning assets, primarily due to the SBA PPP loans. The yield on total interest earning assets decreased 82 basis points to 3.91% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 4.73% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and the balance of average interest earning assets increased $870.9 million, or 18.6%, to $5.55 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $4.68 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2019, including an increase of the balance of average SBA PPP loans.
Interest and fees on loans increased $297,000, or 0.6%, to $48.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $48.1 million for the same period in 2019 due primarily to an increase in the average loan balance, offset partially by a decrease in the loan yield. Average loan balance increased $787.6 million, or 21.6%, to $4.44 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $3.65 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2019 due primarily to the origination of SBA PPP loans. The average balance of SBA PPP loans was $667.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Loan yield decreased 90 basis points to 4.38% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from 5.28% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 due primarily to decreases in interest rates on adjustable rate instruments following the decreases to short-term rates and secondarily due to the impact of SBA PPP loans. The loan yield, excluding SBA PPP loans and incremental accretion on purchased loans, decreased 56 basis points to 4.56% for three months ended June 30, 2020

Table of Contents
compared to 5.12% for the comparable quarter ended June 30, 2019. Loan yields decreased 24 basis points as a result of SBA PPP loans yielding a rate of 2.97% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The impact of SBA PPP loans on loan yields will change during any period based on the volume of prepayments or amounts forgiven by the SBA as certain criteria are met, but is expected to cease completely after maturity of the loans.
Loan yield is also affected by incremental accretion on purchased loans. The impact of incremental accretion on loan yield decreased ten basis points from 0.16% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The impact of incremental accretion on loan yield will change during any period based on the volume of prepayments, but it is expected to decrease over time as the balance of the purchased loans decreases.
The following table presents loan yield and the impacts of the balances and interest and fees earned on SBA PPP loans and incremental accretion on purchased loans for three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

Interest income on investment securities decreased $1.3 million, or 18.7%, to $5.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $6.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 due primarily to decreases in market interest rates impacting adjustable rate securities and decreases in average balances due primarily to prepayments and calls of investment securities in the currently low interest rate environment. The yield on the aggregate investment portfolio decreased 39 points to 2.41% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 from 2.80% for the same period in 2019, including decreases of 43 and 12 basis points on the yield on taxable securities and nontaxable securities, respectively. The average balance of investment securities decreased by $54.5 million, or 5.6%, to $925.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $979.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in the average balance investment securities included a $75.6 million, or 9.0%, decrease in the average balance of taxable securities, offset partially by a $21.0 million, or 15.1%, increase in the average balance of nontaxable securities.
Interest income on other interest earning assets, comprised of deposits at other financial institutions decreased $240,000, or 84.8%, to $43,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $283,000 for the same period in 2019 due primarily to decreases in the yield on interest earning deposits, offset partially by an increase in the average balance. The yield on interest earning deposits decreased 230 basis points to 0.09% during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2.39% during the same period in 2019 due to decreases in short-term market rates. The average balance of interest earning deposits increased $137.8 million, or 289.6%, to $185.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $47.6 million during the same period in 2019 due primarily to the increase in deposit balances.
Interest Expense
Total interest expense decreased $999,000, or 21.3%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $4.7 million for the same period in 2019 due primarily to decreases in market interest rates following decreases in the federal funds target rate mentioned previously, offset partially by an increase in the average balance of total interest bearing liabilities. The cost of total interest bearing liabilities decreased 17 basis points to 0.43% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from 0.60% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The balance of average interest bearing liabilities increased $356.8 million, or 11.4%, to $3.48 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $3.12 billion during the same period in 2019.
Interest expense on total interest bearing deposits decreased $600,000, or 14.9%, to $3.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $4.0 million during the same period in 2019 due primarily to a

decrease in the cost of deposits following decreases in market rates, offset partially by the increase in the average balance. The cost of total interest bearing deposits decreased 13 basis points to 0.40% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from 0.53% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The average balance of interest bearing deposits increased $399.3 million, or 13.2%, to $3.43 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $3.03 billion for the same period in 2019 due primarily to proceeds from SBA PPP loans deposited directly into customer accounts and reduced withdrawals from deposit accounts due to a change in spending habits as a result of COVID-19.
The decrease in interest expense on total interest bearing deposits is primarily related to a decrease in the cost of interest bearing demand and money market deposits of seven basis points to 0.25% during the three months ended June 30, 2020 from 0.32% for the same period in 2019, offset partially by an increase in the average balances of $423.8 million, or 21.0%, to $2.44 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $2.02 billion during the same period in 2019. The decrease in interest expense on total interest bearing deposits was offset partially by an increase in interest expense on cost of certificates of deposit due primarily to an increase in the cost of certificates of deposit of 10 basis points to 1.42% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from 1.32% for the same period in 2019.
The Company was able to further mitigate the cost of interest bearing deposits by increasing the average balance of noninterest bearing demand deposits compared to total interest bearing deposits. The average balance of noninterest bearing demand deposits increased $537.3 million, or 39.9%, to $1.88 billion (or 35.9% of total deposits at June 30, 2020) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.35 billion (or 30.3% of total deposits at June 30, 2019) for the same period in 2019. The increase in the average balance of noninterest bearing deposits caused a decrease in the cost of total deposits of 11 basis points to 0.26% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 0.37% for the same period in 2019. 
The decrease in interest expense was additionally the result of a decrease in the cost of FHLB advances of 208 basis points to 0.57% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2.65% for the same period in 2019 due to the decrease in short-term market rates and the decrease in the average balance of FHLB advances of $37.2 million, or 88.3%, to $4.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $42.1 million during the same period in 2019 funded by the increase in deposits.

Net Interest Margin
Net interest margin decreased 69 basis points to 3.64% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from 4.33% for the same period in 2019 primarily due to the above mentioned changes in asset yields and costs of funds. The net interest spread decreased 65 basis points to 3.48% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from 4.13% for the same period in 2019 primarily due to the decrease in the yield of total interest earning assets, offset partially by a decrease in the cost of total interest bearing liabilities.

Interest Income
Total interest income decreased $1.9 million, or 1.8%, to $107.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $109.0 million for the same period in 2019 due primarily to decreases in yields on adjustable rate instruments following significant decreases in short-term market rates. The yield on total interest earning assets decreased 55 basis points to 4.16% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 4.71% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the balance of average interest earning assets increased $516.6 million, or 11.1%, to $5.18 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020, including the average balance of SBA PPP loans of $333.7 million from $4.67 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Interest and fees on loans decreased $125,000, or 0.1%, to $94.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $94.8 million for the same period in 2019 due primarily to decreases in loan yields, offset partially by increases in average loan balances. Loan yield decreased 60 basis points to 4.65% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from 5.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due primarily to decreases in the short term market rates and secondarily due to the impact of originations of lower yielding SBA PPP loans. Approximately 57.8% of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2019 was adjustable and 41.2% of those adjustable loans (23.9% of the loan portfolio) repriced within six months. Loan yield, excluding SBA PPP loans and incremental accretion on

purchased loans decreased 39 basis points to 4.71% for six months ended June 30, 2020 from 5.10% for the same period in 2019. The yield for SBA PPP loans was 2.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, negatively impacting the loan yield by 14 basis points.
Loan yield is also affected by incremental accretion on purchased loans. The impact of incremental accretion on loan yield decreased seven basis points from 0.15% for six months ended June 30, 2019. The impact of incremental accretion on loan yield will change during any period based on the volume of prepayments, but it is expected to decrease over time as the balance of the purchased loans decreases.
The decrease in interest income on loans was offset partially by an increase in the average balance of loans receivable of $456.8 million, or 12.5%, to $4.10 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $3.64 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Average SBA PPP loans was $333.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
The following table presents loan yield and the impacts of the balances and interest and fees earned on SBA PPP loans and incremental accretion on purchased loans for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

Interest income on investment securities decreased $1.7 million, or 12.2%, to $11.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $13.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 due primarily to decreases in market interest rates impacting adjustable rate securities and decreases in the average balance of investment securities due primarily to prepayments and calls of securities due to the currently low interest rate environment. The yield on the aggregate investment portfolio decreased 23 points to 2.58% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from 2.81% for the same period in 2019, including a decrease of 25 and ten basis points on the yield on taxable securities and nontaxable securities, respectively. The average balance of investment securities decreased $43.8 million, or 4.5%, to $931.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $975.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in the average balance of investment securities included a decrease of $40.5 million, or 4.9%, in the average balance of taxable securities and a decrease of $3.3 million, or 2.3%, in the average balance of nontaxable securities.
Interest income on interest earning deposits decreased $155,000, or 25.1%, to $463,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $618,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to decreases in the yield on interest earning deposits as a result of decreases in short-term market rates, offset partially by increases in the average balance of interest earning deposits. The yield on interest earning deposits decreased 181 basis points to 0.60% during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2.41% during the same period in 2019. Average interest earning deposits increased $103.5 million, or 200.3%, to $155.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $51.7 million during the same period in 2019.
Interest Expense
Total interest expense decreased $483,000, or 5.6%, to $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $8.7 million for the same period in 2019 due primarily to decreases in market interest rates following decreases in the federal funds target rate mentioned previously, mostly offset by an increase in the average balance of total interest bearing liabilities. The cost of total interest bearing liabilities decreased seven basis points to 0.49% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from 0.56% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The balance of average interest bearing liabilities increased $223.0 million, or 7.1%, to $3.34 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $3.12 billion for the same period in 2019 due primarily to proceeds from SBA PPP loans

deposited directly into customer deposit accounts and an increase in deposits due to reduced withdrawals from deposit accounts due to a change in customer spending habits due to COVID-19.
While the interest expense on deposits remained at $7.6 million during both the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the deposit mix changed between the periods. The six months ended June 30, 2020 included a decrease in interest expense of $1.0 million due to decrease in cost and average balance of savings accounts, offset by an increase in interest expense of $689,000 due to increases in the cost and average balance of certificates of deposit and $402,000 due primarily to increases in interest bearing deposit accounts as compared to the same period last year.
The Company was able to further mitigate the cost of interest bearing deposits by increasing the average balance of noninterest bearing demand deposits compared to total interest bearing deposits. The average balance of noninterest bearing demand deposits increased $312.6 million, or 23.3%, to $1.65 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.34 billion for the same period in 2019. The increase in the average balance of noninterest bearing deposits caused a decrease in the total cost of deposits of four basis points to 0.31% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from 0.35% for the same period in 2019.
The decrease in interest expense was additionally the result of the cost of FHLB advances decreasing 213 basis points to 0.55% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2.68% for the same period in 2019 due to decreases in short-term market rates and the decrease in the average balance of FHLB advances of $19.1 million, or 86.7%, to $2.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $22.1 million during the same period in 2019 funded by the increase in deposits.
Net Interest Margin
Net interest margin decreased 50 basis points to 3.84% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from 4.34% for the same period in 2019 primarily due to the above mentioned decreases in asset yields and changes in cost of funds. The net interest spread decreased 48 basis points to 3.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from 4.15% for the same period in 2019 primarily due to the decrease in the yield of interest earning assets.

Provision for Credit Losses
Effective January 1, 2020, the Bank adopted ASU 2016-13. CECL Adoption replaced the allowance for loan losses with the ACL on loans and replaced the related provision for loan losses with the provision for credit losses on loans. CECL Adoption also replaced the allowance for unfunded commitments with the ACL on unfunded commitments and replaced the related provision for unfunded commitments with the provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments. The aggregate of the provision for credit losses on loans and the provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments is presented on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as the provision for credit losses. The ACL on unfunded commitments is included on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as accrued expenses and other liabilities.

Provision for Credit Losses on Loans
The Bank has established a comprehensive methodology for determining its ACL on loans. The ACL on loans is increased by provision for credit losses on loans charged to earnings. The amount of the provision expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was calculated based on a thorough review of the loan portfolio and in accordance with the Bank's CECL methodology for determining the current expected credit losses on loans. The amount of the provision expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was calculated in accordance with the Bank's incurred loss methodology. For additional information, see the section entitled "Analysis of Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans" below.

Table of Contents
The provision for credit losses on loans is dependent on the Bank’s ability to manage asset quality and control the level of net charge-offs through prudent underwriting standards. In addition, a further decline in general economic conditions, including as a result of COVID-19, could increase future provisions for credit losses on loans and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net income.
Comparison of quarter ended June 30, 2020 to the comparable quarter in the prior year.
The provision for credit losses on loans increased $24.6 million, or 1797.7% to $25.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 due primarily due to the worsening of the economic conditions during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as explained in the "Analysis of Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans" below. The provision for loan losses during the three months ended June 30, 2019 was estimated under the previously utilized incurred loss methodology.
Comparison of six months ended June 30, 2020 to the comparable period in the prior year.
The provision for credit losses on loans increased $33.6 million, or 1470.0%, to $35.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due primarily to the worsening of the economic conditions as explained in the "Analysis of Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans" below. The provision for loan losses recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was estimated under the previously utilized incurred loss methodology.

Provision for Credit Losses on Unfunded Commitments
The Bank has established a comprehensive methodology for determining its ACL on unfunded commitments, which is similar to the ACL on loans with additional considerations for the likelihood of funding over the contractual life of the commitment. The ACL on unfunded commitments is increased by the provision for credit losses recorded through earnings. The amount of the provision expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was calculated based on a thorough review of the loan portfolio and in accordance with the Bank's CECL methodology for determining the current expected credit losses on unfunded commitments. The amount of the provision expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was calculated in accordance with the Bank's incurred loss methodology. For additional information, see the section entitled "Analysis of Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans" below.

Comparison of quarter ended June 30, 2020 to the comparable quarter in the prior year.
The Bank recorded a provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments of $2.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily as a result of an increase in estimated loss rates as a result of worsening economic conditions due to COVID-19 and a decrease in the utilization rates of revolving commercial and industrial loans to 26.2% at June 30, 2020 compared to 37.5% at March 31, 2020. The Company did not record a provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments during the same period in 2019 under the incurred loss methodology.
Comparison of six months ended June 30, 2020 to the comparable period in the prior year.
The Bank recorded a provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments of $604,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily as a result of an increase in the estimated loss rates and a decrease in the utilization rates of revolving commercial and industrial loans from 34.5% at December 31, 2019, offset partially by an increase in the utilization rate of commercial construction loans to 46.6% at June 30, 2020 compared to 35.6% at December 31, 2019. The Company did not record a provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments during the same period in 2019 under the incurred loss methodology.

increase in origination volume generated by the currently low interest rate environment. Mortgage loan held for sale originations increased by $28.5 million, or 140.3%, to $48.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $20.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Interest rate swap fees increased $904,000, or 561.5%, to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $161,000 in the same period in 2019 based on customer transactions.
Other income increased $754,000, or 15.6%, to $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 2019 due primarily to $653,000 received from a BOLI death benefit recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
The increase in noninterest income was offset partially by a decrease in service charges and other fees of $1.4 million to $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $9.3 million for the same period in 2019 due primarily to a decrease in overdraft fees and interchange fees for the same reasons as discussed above for the current quarter.

Noninterest Expense
Comparison of quarter ended June 30, 2020 to the comparable quarter in the prior year.
Noninterest expense decreased $474,000, or 1.3%, to $37.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $37.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The following table presents changes in the key components of noninterest expense for the periods noted:

Other expense decreased $491,000, or 16.1%, to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $3.0 million for the same period in 2019 due primarily to reduction of employee travel, conference, and entertainment expenses related to the Bank's suspension of non-essential travel due to COVID-19.
Other real estate owned, net decreased $459,000, or 158.8%, to a gain of $170,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from an expense of $289,000 for the same period in 2019 as a result of a gain on sale recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to a loss on sale recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Marketing expense decreased $410,000, or 37.1%, to $696,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $1.1 million for the same period in 2019 due primarily to the delayed timing of contributions for community sponsorships and sponsored events due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Federal deposit insurance premium expense decreased $188,000, or 44.1%, to $238,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $426,000 for the same period in 2019 due to the use of the Bank's remaining small bank credits during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to no credit available to be recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2019. Federal deposit insurance premium expense will return to normal levels next quarter.

These decreases in noninterest expense were offset partially by an increase in professional services of $864,000 to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2019 related primarily to the launch of the new mobile and online commercial banking platform, "Heritage Direct," starting in first quarter 2020. The implementation of Heritage Direct was completed during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
The ratio of noninterest expense to average total assets (annualized) was 2.36% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2.81% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in average total assets due primarily to SBA PPP originations during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Comparison of six months ended June 30, 2020 to the comparable period in the prior year
Noninterest expense increased $261,000, or 0.4%, to $74.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $74.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The following table presents changes in the key components of noninterest expense for the periods noted:

Professional services increased $1.1 million, or 43.1%, to $3.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $2.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 related primarily to the Heritage Direct platform previously mentioned. The implementation of the new banking platform was completed during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Compensation and employee benefits increased $537,000, or 1.2%, to $44.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $43.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 due primarily to standard increases in salaries as well as extra pay to retail branch staff due to customer-facing interactions during the COVID-19 pandemic of $410,000, increase in overtime expenses of $237,000 related mostly to SBA PPP loan processing, and an increase in sales commission expense related to the mortgage department's increased production, offset partially by the deferral of $900,000 of compensation related to origination costs of SBA PPP loans.
Marketing decreased $642,000, or 29.1%, to $1.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 due primarily to the delayed timing of contributions for community sponsorships and sponsored events due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Other real estate owned, net decreased $520,000, or 138.7%, to a gain of $145,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from an expense of $375,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2019 as a result of net gains on sale recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to a loss on sales recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Federal deposit insurance premium expense decreased $473,000, or 66.5%, to $238,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $711,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to the recognition of

the remaining small bank credits awarded by the FDIC during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to no credits available to be recognized during the same period ended 2019.
The ratio of noninterest expense to average total assets (annualized) was 2.52% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 2.80% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in average total assets due primarily to SBA PPP originations during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Income Tax Expense
Comparison of quarter ended June 30, 2020 to the comparable quarter in the prior year.
Income tax expense decreased $4.1 million, or 129.2%, to an income tax benefit of $936,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from an income tax expense of $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The effective tax rate was 13.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 16.7% for the same period in 2019. The decrease in the effective tax rate from the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was due primarily to the decrease in pre-tax income as was as an increase in tax-exempt investments.
Comparison of six months ended June 30, 2020 to the comparable period in the prior year.
Income tax expense decreased $6.7 million, or 104.6%, to an income tax benefit of $296,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from an income tax expense of $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The effective tax rate was 5.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 16.5% for the same period in 2019. The decrease in the income tax expense and effective tax rate during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was due primarily to a provision in the CARES Act, which permitted the Company to recognize a $1.0 million benefit from net operating losses related to prior acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and due to a decrease in pre-tax income which results in an increased impact of favorable permanent tax items such as tax-exempt investments and low income housing tax credits.

Total assets increased $1.01 billion, or 18.2%, to $6.56 billion as of June 30, 2020 compared to $5.55 billion as of December 31, 2019.
Loans receivable, net, increased $863.1 million, or 23.1%, to $4.59 billion at June 30, 2020 compared to $3.73 billion as of December 31, 2019 due primarily to SBA PPP loan originations of $856.5 million and increases in non-owner occupied CRE loans of $63.0 million, owner-occupied CRE loans of $33.1 million and real estate construction and land development loans of $31.3 million, offset partially by decreases in commercial and industrial loans of $59.0 million and consumer loans of $27.3 million. The decrease in commercial and industrial loans was due primarily to decreases in lines of credit balances. The utilization rate for commercial and industrial lines of credit was 26.2% and 34.5% at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The decrease in consumer loans was primarily due to the cessation of indirect auto loan originations.
Investment securities available for sale decreased $72.4 million, or 7.6%, to $879.9 million at June 30, 2020 from $952.3 million at December 31, 2019 primarily as a result of calls, principal payments and sales of investment securities of $195.1 million, offset partially by new purchases of $103.1 million and an increase in net unrealized gains due to a decrease in interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2020 that positively impacted the fair value of our bond portfolio.
Prepaid expenses and other assets increased $30.1 million, or 18.3%, to $194.2 million at June 30, 2020 from $164.1 million at December 31, 2019 primarily as a result of an increase in the fair value of back-to-back

interest rate swap contracts of $23.3 million and an investment in a Low Income Housing Tax Credit partnership of $10.2 million, both of which had a corresponding increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities. Accrued expenses and other liabilities increased $35.6 million, or 29.6%, to $155.8 million at June 30, 2020 compared to $120.2 million as of December 31, 2019.
Total deposits increased $985.1 million, or 21.5%, to $5.57 billion at June 30, 2020 from $4.58 billion at December 31, 2019 due primarily to increases in noninterest bearing demand deposits of $553.3 million, or 38.2%, to $2.00 billion, interest bearing demand deposits of $244.3 million, or 18.1%, to $1.59 billion, money market accounts of $228.1 million, or 30.3%, to $981.8 million, offset partially by decreases in certificate of deposit accounts of $33.9 million, or 6.5%, to $490.6 million and savings accounts of $6.6 million, or 1.3%, to $502.5 million. The increase in total deposits was due primarily to proceeds from SBA PPP loans deposited directly into customer deposit accounts and an increase in deposits due to reduced withdrawals from deposit accounts due to a change in customer spending habits due to COVID-19. Non-maturity deposits as a percentage of total deposits increased to 91.2% as of June 30, 2020 from 88.6% at December 31, 2019.

Lending Activities
The Bank is a full service commercial bank, which originates a wide variety of loans with a focus on commercial business loans. Loans receivable increased $898.5 million, or 23.8%, to $4.67 billion at June 30, 2020 from $3.77 billion at December 31, 2019.

Nonaccrual Loans. Nonaccrual loans decreased $10.9 million to $33.6 million, or 0.72% of loans receivable at June 30, 2020 from $44.5 million, or 1.18% of loans receivable at December 31, 2019. The decrease was due primarily to the net principal payment related to a significant agricultural lending relationship of $7.8 million and a full payoff of a commercial business relationship of $2.3 million.

At June 30, 2020, nonaccrual loans of $3.4 million had a related ACL on loans of $946,000 and nonaccrual loans of $30.2 million had no related ACL on loans. At December 31, 2019, nonaccrual loans of $4.4 million had a related allowance for loan losses of $763,000 and nonaccrual loans of $40.1 million had no allowance for loan losses.
At June 30, 2020, nonperforming TDR loans, included in the nonaccrual loan table above, were $20.9 million and had a related ACL on loans of $371,000, including $19.7 million of nonperforming TDR loans with no related ACL on loans. At December 31, 2019, nonperforming TDR loans were $26.3 million and had a related allowance for loan losses of $218,000, including $24.2 million of nonperforming TDR loans with no related ACL on loans.
Nonperforming Assets. Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned. Nonperforming assets decreased $11.7 million to $33.6 million, or 0.51% of total assets, at June 30, 2020 from $45.4 million, or 0.82% of total assets, at December 31, 2019 due to the decrease in nonaccrual loans discussed above and the decrease in other real estate owned resulting from the disposition of the two remaining properties during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Troubled Debt Restructured Loans. Performing TDR loans are TDRs on accrual status. They may be individually or collectively evaluated for ACL based on criteria as outlined in our accounting policies. Performing TDR loans are not considered nonperforming assets as they continue to accrue interest despite the restructured status. The performing TDR loans increased $6.2 million, or 43.0%, to $20.7 million at June 30, 2020 from $14.5 million at December 31, 2019. The increase was due primarily to additions of previously classified pass graded loans, including three commercial business lending relationships totaling $3.5 million of which $2.1 million was modified as a result of the adverse economic impact from COVID-19, and additions of previously classified potential problem loans, including one residential construction relationship of $1.5 million.

The related ACL on loans for performing TDR loans was $1.6 million as of June 30, 2020 and $1.3 million as of December 31, 2019.
Potential Problem Loans. Potential problem loans increased $12.8 million, or 14.5%, to $100.6 million at June 30, 2020 compared to $87.8 million at December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily attributed to the addition of six commercial business relationships, including two hotels, totaling $20.6 million which were downgraded as a result of the adverse economic impact from COVID-19. The Company's practice on COVID-19 related loan issues was to downgrade to a "Watch" grade if the loan was modified, unless the borrower exhibited strong financial position, or other factors indicated a more severe grade was necessary. The additions to potential problem loans also included 11 commercial business relationships totaling $16.2 million which were downgraded to increase oversight of these credits due to other concerns. The increase in potential problem loans for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was partially offset by net principal payments of $18.2 million, including payment in full of three commercial and industrial relationships totaling $4.7 million.

Effective January 1, 2020, the Bank adopted ASU 2016-13. The adoption replaced the allowance for loan losses with the ACL on loans on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and replaced the related provision for loan losses with the provision for credit losses on loans on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Management has adopted a historic loss, open pool CECL methodology to calculate the ACL on loans. The same methodology is applied to all loans consistent with the guidance of the accounting standard which does not require undue complexity. Under this allowance approach, the Company has identified segments of loans with similar risk characteristics that align with its identified loan classes. Nonaccrual loans and certain TDR loans are not considered similar other loans; therefore, they are evaluated for allowance on an individual basis. The allowance for individually evaluated loans is calculated using either the collateral value method, which considers the likely source of repayment as the value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell, or the net present value method, which considers the contractual principal and interest terms and estimated cash flows available from the borrower to satisfy the debt.
For each loan segment collectively measured, the baseline loss rates are calculated using the bank's average quarterly historical loss information. The baseline loss rates are applied to each loan's estimated cash flows over the life of the loan under the remaining life method to determine the baseline loss estimate for each loan, including prepayment estimates. The CECL methodology includes consideration of the forecasted direction of the economic and business environment and its likely impact to the estimated allowance as compared to the historical losses over the reasonable and supportable time frame. The impact of those macroeconomic factors to each segment, positive or negative, using the reasonable and supportable period, are added to the calculated baseline loss rate. After the reasonable and supportable period, the estimated credit losses are reverted back to historical baseline loss levels under a reversion period on a straight-lined, input reversion basis. Management can also consider other qualitative factors to add to the ACL if internal or external conditions suggest adjustments to the historical loss information or the macroeconomic forecast.

While we believe we use the best information available to determine the ACL on loans, our results of operations could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in determining the allowance. A further decline in national and local economic conditions, including as a result of COVID-19 pandemic or other factors, could result in a material increase in the ACL on loans and may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of the ACL on loans is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of their routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of an additional ACL on loans based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.
The following table provides information regarding changes in our ACL on loans and the allowance for loan losses at and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively:

The ACL on loans increased $35.3 million, or 97.7%, to $71.5 million at June 30, 2020 from $36.2 million at December 31, 2019, and increased $33.5 million, or 88.2%, from the adjusted beginning balance of $38.0. The increase in ACL was primarily the result of the provision for credit losses on loans of $35.9 million recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020 due primarily to forecasted credit deterioration reflecting economic conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The macroeconomic forecast used in the CECL model as of June 30, 2020 was as of June 9, 2020, and included the actual results of the sharp recession, followed by forecasted widened "U-shaped" recovery with unemployment rate spiking to 13% in second quarter 2020 and decreasing to 5% by 2023, and GDP slumping 6.1% in 2020, but rebounding 6.3% in 2021, with modest increases in GDP in future years. This forecast is in stark contrast to that used in CECL model as of January 1, 2020, which predicted steady GDP growth and unemployment rates similar to the 4% at December 31, 2019, among other factors.
The Company recorded charge-offs of $3.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 due primarily to commercial and industrial loan charge-offs of $3.0 million, including one loan of $1.7 million that had been experiencing financial difficulties. Due to issues surrounding the control of the underlying loan collateral, the Bank determined it appropriate to charge-off the entire balance and pursue an aggressive collection strategy. The Company recorded recoveries of $1.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to the full recovery of an agricultural lending relationship of $963,000 which was charged-off during the three months ended December 31, 2019.
Based on the Bank's established comprehensive CECL methodology, management deemed the ACL on loans of $71.5 million (1.53% of loans receivable and 212.62% of nonperforming loans) at June 30, 2020 appropriate to provide for current expected credit losses in the portfolio. This compares to an allowance for loan losses of $36.2 million (0.96% of loans receivable and 81.24% of nonperforming loans) at December 31, 2019 under the incurred loss methodology.
While we believe we use the best information available to determine the ACL on loans, our results of operations could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in determining the allowance. A further decline in national and local economic conditions, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or other factors, could result in a material increase in the ACL on loans and may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of the ACL on loans is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of their routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of an additional ACL on loans based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. Because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing ACL on loans is appropriate or that increased provisions will not be necessary should the quality of the loans deteriorate. Any material increase in the ACL on loans would adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Deposits and Other Borrowings
Total deposits increased $985.1 million, or 21.5%, to $5.57 billion at June 30, 2020 from $4.58 billion at December 31, 2019. Non-maturity deposits as a percentage of total deposits increased 2.6% to 91.2% at June 30, 2020 compared to 88.6% at December 31, 2019.
The following table summarizes the Company's deposits as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

The increase in deposits is primarily due to the proceeds from SBA PPP loans deposited directly into the customers' deposit accounts, reduced withdrawals from customer deposit accounts based on changes in spending habits during the COVID-19 pandemic, and an increase in new deposit accounts. At June 30, 2020, the Bank had approximately 839 deposit accounts with balances of approximately $100.6 million related to new customers that received a SBA PPP loan from the Bank.

Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in other sources of funds (such as deposit inflows at less than projected levels). Borrowings may also be used on a longer-term basis to support expanded lending activities and match the maturity of repricing intervals of assets. The Bank also utilizes securities sold under agreement to repurchase as a supplement to its funding sources, which are secured by available for sale investment securities. During the latter part of 2019, the Bank made an effort to transition customers from securities sold under agreement to repurchase to other deposit products. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, only three customers utilized this product with balances $24.4 million at June 30, 2020, an increase of $4.3 million, or 21.2%, from $20.2 million at December 31, 2019 due primarily to customer activity during the period.
The Company also has junior subordinated debentures with a par value of $25.0 million which pay quarterly interest based on three-month LIBOR plus 1.56%. The debentures mature in 2037. The balance of the junior subordinated debentures was $20.7 million at June 30, 2020, which reflects the fair value of the junior subordinated debentures established as part of the merger with Washington Banking Company on May 1, 2014, adjusted for the accretion of discount from purchase accounting fair value adjustment.
At June 30, 2020, the Bank maintained credit facilities with the FHLB for $942.8 million and credit facilities with the Federal Reserve Bank for $60.3 million. The Company had no FHLB or Federal Reserve Bank advances outstanding at both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
The Bank maintains lines of credit with five correspondent banks to purchase federal funds totaling $215.0 million as of June 30, 2020. There were no federal funds purchased as of June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.
At June 30, 2020, the Bank was also approved to utilize the PPPLF, however, had not yet participated in the program.

Liquidity and Cash Flows
Our primary sources of funds are customer and local government deposits; loan principal and interest payments; maturities, calls, and payments of investment securities including related interest earned; and proceeds from sales of investment securities. These funds, together with retained earnings, equity, and other borrowed funds, are used to make loans, acquire investment securities and other assets, and fund continuing operations. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and investments are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
Heritage Bank: The principal objective of the Bank’s liquidity management program is to maintain the ability to meet day-to-day cash flow requirements of its customers who either wish to withdraw funds or to draw upon credit facilities to meet their cash needs. The Bank monitors the sources and uses of funds on a daily basis to maintain an acceptable liquidity position. In addition to liquidity from core deposits and the repayment and maturities of loans and investments, the Bank can utilize established credit facilities and lines with correspondent banks or initiate the sale of investment securities. As a result of the Federal Reserve Bank response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank’s liquidity can be supplemented through the PPPLF as mentioned above in the "COVID-19 Impact" section above.
Heritage Financial Corporation: The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are obtained from dividends declared and paid by the Bank. There are statutory and regulatory provisions that could limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company. However, management believes that such restrictions will not have an adverse impact on the ability of the Company to meets its ongoing cash obligations. At June 30, 2020, the Company (on an unconsolidated basis) had cash and cash equivalents of $2.3 million and a receivable from the Bank of $7.0 million.
We are required to maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds for loan originations and deposit withdrawals, satisfy other financial commitments and fund operations. We generally maintain sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs. At June 30, 2020, cash and cash equivalents totaled $415.1 million, or 6.3% of total assets and the fair value of investment securities available for sale totaled $879.9 million of which $260.6 million were pledged to secure public deposits or borrowing arrangements. The fair value of investment securities available for sale that were not pledged totaled $619.3 million, or 9.4% of total assets at June 30, 2020. The fair value of investment securities available for sale with contractual maturities of one year or less were $47.8 million, or 0.7% of total assets, at June 30, 2020.
Consolidated Cash Flows: As disclosed in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, net cash provided by operating activities was $72.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and primarily consisted of net loss of $6.1 million, net of non-cash adjustments to reconcile net income to cash provided by operating activities, including provision for credit losses of $36.5 million and changes in net deferred loan fees, net

of amortization of $26.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash used by investing activities was $841.6 million, which consisted primarily of net loan originations of $928.8 million, including $883.9 million related to SBA PPP loan originations, offset partially by net investment securities activity of $92.0 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $955.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and primarily consisted of a net increase in deposits of $985.1 million primarily related to proceeds from SBA PPP loans being deposited directly into customer deposit accounts and reduced withdrawals from deposit accounts due to changes in customer spending habits during COVID-19, partially offset by repurchases of common stock of $19.1 million and dividends paid of $14.5 million during the period.

Stockholders' Equity and Regulatory Capital Requirements
Stockholders’ equity was $793.7 million at June 30, 2020 compared to $809.3 million at December 31, 2019. The Company’s stockholders' equity to assets ratio was 12.1% as of June 30, 2020 and 14.6% as of December 31, 2019.

No shares were repurchased under the Company's stock repurchase plans during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as the Company suspended repurchases in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company repurchased the remaining 639,922 shares available under the eleventh stock repurchase plan at a weighted average price per share of $23.95 and repurchased 155,778 shares at a weighted average share price of $20.34 under the twelfth stock repurchase plan, which is a total of 795,700 shares under both plans at a weighted average share price of $23.25.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company repurchased 28,000 shares available under the eleventh stock repurchase plan at a weighted average price per share of $29.12.
The Company has historically paid cash dividends to its common shareholders. Payments of future cash dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including our business, operating results and financial condition, capital requirements, current and anticipated cash needs, plans for expansion, any legal or contractual limitation on our ability to pay dividends and other relevant factors. Dividends on common stock from the Company depend substantially upon receipt of dividends from the Bank, which is the Company’s predominant source of income. On July 22, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular dividend of $0.20 per common share which is payable on August 19, 2020 to shareholders of record on August 5, 2020.
The Company is a bank holding company under the supervision of the Federal Reserve Bank. Bank holding companies are subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve. Heritage Bank is a federally insured institution and thereby is subject to the capital requirements established by the FDIC. The Federal Reserve capital requirements generally parallel the FDIC requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and operations. Management believes as of June 30, 2020, the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of June 30, 2020, the capital measures reflect the revised CECL capital transition provisions adopted by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC, that allows us the option to delay for two years an estimate of CECL’s effect on regulatory capital, relative to the incurred loss methodology’s effect on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period.
Under applicable capital requirements both the Company and the Bank are required to have a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based ratio of 6.0% and a total risk-based ratio of 8.0%. Both the Company and the Bank are also required to maintain a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital above 2.5% to avoid restrictions on certain activities including payment of dividends, stock repurchases and discretionary bonuses to executive officers. At June 30, 2020, the capital conservation buffer was 5.1% and 4.8% for the Company and the Bank, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These measures include net interest income, interest and fees on loans, ACL, loan yield and net interest margin excluding the effect of the incremental accretion on purchased loans acquired through mergers and income from SBA PPP loans. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures, together with the related GAAP measures, in its analysis of our performance and in

Table of Contents
making business decisions. Management also uses these measures for peer comparisons. Management believes that presenting loan yield and net interest margin excluding the effect of the acquisition accounting discount accretion on loans acquired through mergers is useful in assessing the impact of acquisition accounting on loan yield and net interest margin, as the effect of loan discount accretion is expected to decrease as the acquired loans mature or roll off our balance sheet. Management believes that presenting loan yield and net interest margin excluding the effect of the SBA PPP loans is useful in assessing the impact of special program loans that are anticipated to substantially decrease upon forgiveness by the SBA within a short time frame. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to interest rate risk through our lending and deposit gathering activities. Our results of operations are highly dependent upon our ability to manage interest rate risk. We consider interest rate risk to be a significant market risk that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Interest rate risk is measured and assessed on a quarterly basis.

These scenarios are based on interest rates as of the last day of a reporting period published by independent sources and incorporate relevant spread of instruments that are actively traded in the open market. Given that the short-term rates have declined during the six months ended June 30, 2020, we do not believe that the result of the "Down 200" analysis provide meaningful results, and have been excluded. For the "Down 100" scenario, the Bank's modeling assumption is that all deposit rates are floored to one or two basis points and new loan production is recalibrated to incorporate a chosen net interest spread over index. The simulations used to manage market risk are based on numerous assumptions regarding the effect of changes in interest rates on the timing and extent of reprice characteristics, future cash flows and customer behavior. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market condition, customer behavior and management strategies, among other factors.
Neither we, nor the Bank, maintain a trading account for any class of financial instrument, nor do we, or the Bank, engage in hedging activities or purchase high risk derivative instruments. Moreover, neither we, nor the Bank, are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedure (as defined in Section 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the Company’s Disclosure Committee as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on their evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020 are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Effective January 1, 2020, Heritage adopted FASB ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments: Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended. The Company designed new

controls and modified existing controls as part of its adoption. These additional controls over financial reporting included controls over model creation and design, model governance, assumptions and expanded controls over loan level data.
There have been no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company does not expect that its internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We, and our Bank, are not a party to any material pending legal proceedings other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business of the Bank.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS
There have been material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I. Item 1A of the Company’s 2019 Annual Form 10-K related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The following provides a discussion of certain risks that management believes are specific to our business as a result of the COVD-19 pandemic.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely impacted certain industries in which our customers operate and may impair their ability to fulfill their obligations to us. Further, the spread of the outbreak has disrupted banking and other financial activity in the areas in which we operate, and could lead to an economic recession or other additional severe disruptions in the U.S. economy, and could potentially create business continuity issues for us.
The COVID-19 pandemic started to cause major economic disruption and volatility as a result of governmental mandates (e.g., “shelter in place” mandates, school closures) and voluntary changes in consumer behavior (e.g., “social distancing”) in March 2020. In response to the shelter in place orders, currently many of our employees are working remotely to enable us to continue to provide banking services to our customers. Heightened cybersecurity, information security and operational risks may result from these work-from-home arrangements. We also could be adversely affected if key personnel or a significant number of employees were to become unavailable due to the effects and restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, we also rely upon our third-party vendors to conduct business and to process, record, and monitor transactions. If any of these vendors are unable to continue to provide us with these services, it could negatively impact our ability to serve our customers. Although we have business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, there is no assurance that such plans and safeguards will be effective.
There is pervasive uncertainty surrounding the future economic conditions that will emerge in the months and years following the start of the pandemic. As a result, management is confronted with a significant and unfamiliar degree of uncertainty in estimating the impact of the pandemic on its credit quality, revenues and asset values. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in declines in loan demand and loan originations, deposit availability, market interest rates and negatively impacted many of our business and consumer borrower’s ability to make their loan payments. Because the length of the pandemic and the efficacy of the extraordinary measures being put in place to address its economic consequences are unknown, including recent reductions in the targeted federal funds rate, until the pandemic subsides, we expect our net interest income and net interest margin will be adversely affected in the near term, if not longer. Many of our borrowers have become unemployed or may face unemployment, and certain businesses are at risk of insolvency as revenues declined precipitously, especially in businesses related to travel, hospitality, leisure, and physical personal services. Businesses may ultimately not

reopen as there is a significant level of uncertainty regarding the level of economic activity that will return to the Pacific Northwest region over time, the impact of governmental assistance, the speed of economic recovery, the resurgence of COVID-19 in subsequent seasons and changes to demographic and social norms that will take place.
The impact of the pandemic is expected to continue to adversely affect us during 2020 as the ability of many of our customers to make loan payments has been significantly affected. Although the Company has made estimates of credit losses related to the pandemic as part of its evaluation of the ACL on loans, such estimates involve significant judgment and are made in the context of significant uncertainty as to the impact that the pandemic will have on the credit quality of our loan portfolio. The extent of the economic impact of the pandemic is also impossible to determine with certainty at this time as it is partly dependent on a still evolving virus. Accordingly, estimates of the pandemic's effect on credit losses could change over time as additional information becomes available. If our estimates are incorrect, our ACL on loans may not be sufficient to cover losses in our loan portfolio, resulting in the need for increases in our ACL on loans through the provision for credit losses which is recorded and charged against income. Any increases in the ACL on loans will result in a decrease in net income and, most likely, capital, and may have a material negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, the Company is providing assistance to commercial business loan borrowers in response to the economic disruption caused by COVID-19 by offering short-term modifications such as interest only payments, payment deferrals, loan re-amortization, and increases of lines of credit. Also, the Company is assisting mortgage and consumer loan borrowers by offering short-term modifications via a streamlined approval process for 90-day payment deferrals when the borrower meets certain criteria, or on a case-by-case analysis. Notwithstanding these modifications, these borrowers may not be able to resume making full payments on their loans once the COVID-19 pandemic is resolved. If the economic disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic continues for several months or worsens, it may result in increased loan delinquencies, adversely classified loans and loan charge-offs. As a result, our ACL on loans may prove to be insufficient to absorb losses in our loan portfolio, which would cause our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition to be adversely affected.
Further, given the widespread level of disruption to commercial and consumer activity due to COVID-19, the Company decided to adopt certain measures to assist its deposit customers in affected areas. These measures include the waiver of certain fees and charges, such as early withdrawal penalties for certificates of deposit and overdrafts, and while important to assist our customers, these concessions will negatively impact our results of operations.
In accordance with GAAP, we record assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value with the excess of the purchase consideration over the net assets acquired resulting in the recognition of goodwill. If adverse economic conditions or the recent decrease in our stock price and market capitalization as a result of the pandemic were to be deemed sustained rather than temporary, it may significantly affect the fair value of our goodwill and may trigger impairment charges. Any impairment charge could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
We are an entity separate and distinct from our principal subsidiary, Heritage Bank, and derive substantially all of our revenue at the holding company level in the form of dividends from that subsidiary. If the COVID-19 pandemic were to materially adversely affect Heritage Bank’s regulatory capital levels or liquidity, it may result in Heritage Bank being unable to pay dividends to us, which may result in our not being able to pay dividends on our common stock at the same rate or at all.
Even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, the U.S. economy may experience a recession, and we anticipate our business would be materially and adversely affected by a prolonged recession. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
