HomeStreet, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1–SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

HomeStreet, Inc., a State of Washington corporation organized in 1921 (the "Corporation"), is a Washington-based diversified financial services holding company whose operations are primarily conducted through its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") HomeStreet Capital Corporation, HomeStreet Statutory Trusts and HomeStreet Bank (the "Bank"), and the Bank's subsidiaries, Continental Escrow Company, HomeStreet Foundation, HS Properties, Inc., HS Evergreen Corporate Center LLC, and Union Street Holdings LLC. The Company is principally engaged in commercial banking, mortgage banking and consumer/retail banking activities serving customers primarily in the Western United States.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Certain amounts in the financial statements from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation.

Immaterial Restatement: Subsequent to issuance of the June 30, 2020 financial statements, management concluded that purchases of and proceeds from the sale of Federal Home Loan Bank stock were incorrectly classified as financing activities, rather than investing activities, in the consolidated statements of cash flows. To correct this classification error, amounts previously reported for the purchases of and proceeds from the sale of Federal Home Loan Bank stock for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as financing activities are reported as investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

These unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results of operations in the interim financial statements do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for the full year. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K").

Recent Accounting Developments

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 in GAAP. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2021 and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). This ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for contracts, hedging relationship, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)," which clarifies certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the transition to alternative rates. The ASUs are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is in the process of evaluating the provisions of these ASUs, but does not expect them to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

MBS and CMOs represent securities issued by government sponsored enterprises ("GSEs"). Most of the MBS and CMO securities in our investment portfolio are guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae or Freddie Mac. Municipal bonds are comprised of general obligation bonds (i.e., backed by the general credit of the issuer) and revenue bonds (i.e., backed by either collateral or revenues from the specific project being financed) issued by various municipal corporations. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, all securities held, including municipal bonds and corporate debt securities, were rated investment grade, based upon external ratings where available and, where not available, based upon internal ratings which correspond to ratings as defined by Standard and Poor's Rating Services or Moody's Investors Services.

There were no HTM securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

The Company has evaluated AFS securities that are in an unrealized loss position and has determined that the decline in value is temporary and is related to the change in market interest rates since purchase. The decline in value is not related to any issuer- or industry-specific credit event. The Company has not identified any expected credit losses on its debt securities as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. In addition, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had not made a decision to sell any of its debt securities held, nor did the Company consider it more likely than not that it would be required to sell such securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.

The weighted-average yield is computed using the contractual coupon of each security weighted based on the fair value of each security and does not include adjustments to a tax equivalent basis. MBS and CMOs are excluded from the tables above because such securities are not due on a single maturity date. The weighted average yield of MBS and CMOs as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was 1.88% and 1.92%, respectively.

NOTE 3 -LOANS AND CREDIT QUALITY:
The Company's LHFI is divided into two portfolio segments, consumer loans and commercial loans. Within each portfolio segment, the Company monitors and assesses credit risk based on the risk characteristics of each of the following loan classes: single family and home equity and other loans within the consumer loan portfolio segment and non-owner occupied commercial real estate, multifamily, construction and land development, owner occupied commercial real estate and commercial business loans within the commercial loan portfolio segment. LHFI consists of the following:

(1)    Includes $5.2 million and $7.1 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, of loans where a fair value option election was made at the time of origination and, therefore, are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated income statements.

Loans totaling $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, were pledged to secure borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") and loans totaling $582 million and $569 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, were pledged to secure borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank.

Credit Risk Concentrations

LHFI are primarily secured by real estate located in the Pacific Northwest, California and Hawaii. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, multifamily loans in the state of California represented 27% and 19% of the total LHFI portfolio, respectively.

Credit Quality
Management considers the level of ACL to be appropriate to cover credit losses expected over the life of the loans for the LHFI portfolio. The cumulative loss rate used as the basis for the estimate of credit losses is comprised of the Bank’s historical loss experience and eight qualitative factors for current and forecasted periods.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the qualitative factors increased significantly due to the forecasted impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The qualitative factors have remained at a high level due to the continued uncertainty regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Included in the qualitative factors are estimates of potential loss exposure which are based on forbearance activities relating to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Bank’s loan portfolio. Due to improvements in economic conditions, the Company recorded a $4 million recovery of the allowance for credit losses in the second quarter of 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the Bank expects that over the two-year forecast period, the markets in which it operates will have a modest improvement in single family and multifamily collateral values, but deterioration in commercial real estate collateral values with negative risk factors peaking in the first year. The Bank also expects that over the two-year forecast period, the markets in which it operates will have a modest deterioration in the economic outlook, with negative risk factors peaking in the first year.

In addition to the ACL for LHFI, the Company maintains a separate allowance for unfunded loan commitments which is included in accounts payable and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. The allowance for unfunded commitments was $2.1 million and $1.6 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
The Bank has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the evaluation of the ACL. Accrued interest on LHFI was $19.6 million and $21.2 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and was reported in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
Activity in the ACL for LHFI and the allowance for unfunded commitments was as follows for the periods indicated:

A TDR loan is considered re-defaulted when it becomes doubtful that the objectives of the modifications will be met, generally when a consumer loan TDR becomes 60 days or more past due on principal or interest payments or when a commercial loan TDR becomes 90 days or more past due on principal or interest payments. The following table presents loans that were modified as TDRs within the previous 12 months and subsequently re-defaulted for the periods indicated:

The CARES Act provides temporary relief from the accounting and disclosure requirements for TDRs for certain loan modifications that are the result of a hardship that is related, either directly or indirectly, to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, interagency guidance issued by federal banking regulators and endorsed by the FASB staff has indicated that borrowers who receive relief are not experiencing financial difficulty if they meet the following qualifying criteria:

The modification is in response to the National Emergency related to the COVID pandemic;
The borrower was current at the time the modification program was implemented; and
The modification is short-term

We have elected to apply temporary relief under Section 4013 of the CARES Act to certain eligible modifications and will not treat qualifying loan modifications as TDRs for accounting or disclosure purposes. Additionally, eligible short-term loan modifications subject to the practical expedient in the interagency guidance will not be treated as TDRs for accounting or disclosure purposes if they qualify. 

As of June 30, 2021, excluding any SBA guaranteed loans or single family loans that are guaranteed by FHA or VA, the Company has outstanding balances of $56 million on 133 loans that were approved for and are still in forbearance under this program.

NOTE 7–GUARANTEES AND MORTGAGE REPURCHASE LIABILITY:

In the ordinary course of business, the Company sells loans through the Fannie Mae Multifamily Delegated Underwriting and Servicing Program ("DUS"®) that are subject to a credit loss sharing arrangement. The Company services the loans for Fannie Mae and shares in the risk of loss with Fannie Mae under the terms of the DUS contracts. Under the DUS program, the Company and Fannie Mae share losses on a pro rata basis, where the Company is responsible for losses incurred up to one-third of principal balance on each loan with two-thirds of the loss covered by Fannie Mae. For loans that have been sold through this program, a liability is recorded for this loss sharing arrangement under the accounting guidance for guarantees. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total unpaid principal balance of loans sold under this program was $1.9 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively. The Company's reserve liability related to this arrangement totaled $0.7 million and $2.1 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. There were no actual losses incurred under this arrangement during the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company sells residential mortgage loans to GSEs and other entities. Under the terms of these sales agreements, the Company has made representations and warranties that the loans sold meet certain requirements. The Company may be required to repurchase mortgage loans or indemnify loan purchasers due to defects in the origination process of the loan, such as documentation errors, underwriting errors and judgments, early payment defaults and fraud. The total unpaid principal balance of loans sold on a servicing-retained basis that were subject to the terms and conditions of these representations and warranties totaled $5.7 billion and $6.0 billion as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had recorded a mortgage repurchase liability for loans sold on a servicing-retained and servicing-released basis, included in accounts payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, of $1.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

NOTE 8–FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT:

The term "fair value" is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The Company's approach is to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements.

Fair Value Hierarchy

A three-level valuation hierarchy has been established under ASC 820 for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based on the observability of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels are defined as follows:

• Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity
can access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for
the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing
basis.

• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly. This includes quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and
inputs that are observable for the asset or liability for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the Company's assumptions of what
market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company's policy regarding transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy is that all transfers are assumed to occur at the end of the reporting period.                 
Estimation of Fair Value
Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available. In cases where a quoted price for an asset or liability is not available, the Company uses valuation models to estimate fair value. These models incorporate inputs such as forward yield curves, loan prepayment assumptions, expected loss assumptions, market volatilities and pricing spreads utilizing market-based inputs where readily available. The Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those that would be used by other market participants. However, imprecision in estimating unobservable inputs and other factors may result in these fair value measurements not reflecting the amount realized in an actual sale or transfer of the asset or liability in a current market exchange.
The following table summarizes the fair value measurement methodologies, including significant inputs and assumptions and classification of the Company's assets and liabilities valued at fair value on a recurring basis.

Level 3 Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company's level 3 recurring fair value measurements consist of investment securities AFS, single family MSRs, single family LHFI where fair value option was elected, certain single family LHFS and interest rate lock commitments, which are accounted for as derivatives. For information regarding fair value changes and activity for single family MSRs during the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, see Note 6, Mortgage Banking Operations of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The fair value of IRLCs considers several factors, including the fair value in the secondary market of the underlying loan resulting from the exercise of the commitment, the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan (referred to as the value of servicing) and the probability that the commitment will not be converted into a funded loan (referred to as a fall-out factor). The fair value of IRLCs on LHFS, while based on interest rates observable in the market, is highly dependent on the ultimate closing of the loans. The significance of the fall-out factor to the fair value measurement of an individual IRLC is generally highest at the time that the rate lock is initiated and declines as closing procedures are performed and the underlying loan gets closer to funding. The fall-out factor applied is based on historical experience. The value of servicing is impacted by a variety of factors, including prepayment assumptions, discount rates, delinquency rates, contractually specified servicing fees, servicing costs and underlying portfolio characteristics. Because these inputs are not observable in market trades, the fall-out factor and value of servicing are considered to be level 3 inputs. The fair value of IRLCs decreases in value upon an increase in the fall-out factor and increases in value upon an increase in the value of servicing. Changes in the fall-out factor and value of servicing do not increase or decrease based on movements in other significant unobservable inputs.
33



The Company recognizes unrealized gains and losses from the time that an IRLC is initiated until the gain or loss is realized at the time the loan closes, which generally occurs within 30-90 days. For IRLCs that fall out, any unrealized gain or loss is reversed, which generally occurs at the end of the commitment period. The gains and losses recognized on IRLC derivatives generally correlates to volume of single family interest rate lock commitments made during the reporting period (after adjusting for estimated fallout) while the amount of unrealized gains and losses realized at settlement generally correlates to the volume of single family closed loans during the reporting period.

The Company uses the discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of certain loans that have been transferred from held for sale to held for investment and single family LHFS when the fair value of the loans is not derived using observable market inputs. The key assumption in the valuation model is the implied spread to benchmark interest rate curve. The implied spread is not directly observable in the market and is derived from third party pricing which is based on market information from comparable loan pools. The fair value estimate of single family loans that have been transferred from held for sale to held for investment are sensitive to changes in the benchmark interest rate which might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

The Company transferred certain loans from held for sale to held for investment. These loans were originated as held for sale loans where the Company had elected fair value option. The Company determined these loans to be level 3 recurring assets as the valuation technique included a significant unobservable input. The total amount of held for investment loans where fair value option election was made was $5.2 million and $7.1 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets held by the Company are not included in the tables above, but are measured at fair value on a periodic basis. These assets include certain LHFI and OREO that are carried at the lower of cost or fair value of the underlying collateral, less the estimated costs to sell. The estimated fair values of real estate collateral are generally based on internal evaluations and appraisals of such collateral, which use the market approach and income approach methodologies. We have omitted disclosure related to quantitative inputs given the insignificance of assets measured on a nonrecurring basis.

The fair value of commercial properties are generally based on third-party appraisals that consider recent sales of comparable properties, including their income-generating characteristics, adjusted (generally based on unobservable inputs) to reflect the general assumptions that a market participant would make when analyzing the property for purchase. The Company uses a fair value of collateral technique to apply adjustments to the appraisal value of certain commercial LHFI that are collateralized by real estate.

The Company uses a fair value of collateral technique to apply adjustments to the stated value of certain commercial LHFI that are not collateralized by real estate and to the appraisal value of OREO.

Residential properties are generally based on unadjusted third-party appraisals. Factors considered in determining the fair value include geographic sales trends, the value of comparable surrounding properties as well as the condition of the property.

35


These adjustments include management assumptions that are based on the type of collateral dependent loan and may increase or decrease an appraised value. Management adjustments vary significantly depending on the location, physical characteristics and income producing potential of each individual property. The quality and volume of market information available at the time of the appraisal can vary from period-to-period and cause significant changes to the nature and magnitude of the unobservable inputs used. Given these variations, changes in these unobservable inputs are generally not a reliable indicator for how fair value will increase or decrease from period to period.

The following table present assets classified as Level 3 assets that had changes in their recorded fair value for the periods indicated and what we still held at the end of the respective reporting period:

ITEM 2     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes presented elsewhere in this report and in HomeStreet, Inc.'s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts or that discuss our expectations, beliefs or views regarding our future operations or future financial performance, or financial or other trends in our business or in the markets in which we operate, our future plans and the credit exposure of certain loan products and other components of our business that could be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Many forward-looking statements can be identified as using words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "should," "will" and "would" and similar expressions (or the negative of these terms). Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of the Company and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the risks and uncertainties discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that could cause actual results to differ significantly from those projected. In addition, many of the risks and uncertainties are, and will be, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and any worsening of the global, national, regional and local business and economic environment as a result.

Although we believe that expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We undertake no obligation, and expressly disclaim any such obligation to update; or clarify any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, new information or changes to future results over time or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Except as otherwise noted, references to "we," "our," "us" or "the Company" refer to HomeStreet, Inc. and its subsidiaries that are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Statements of knowledge, intention or belief reflect those characteristics of our executive management team based on current facts and circumstances.

You may review a copy of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including exhibits and any schedule filed therewith on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding registrants, such as HomeStreet, Inc., that file electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and accounting practices in the banking industry. Certain of those accounting policies are considered critical accounting policies, because they require us to make estimates and assumptions regarding circumstances or trends that could materially affect the value of those assets, such as economic conditions or trends that could impact our ability to fully collect our loans or ultimately realize the carrying value of certain of our other assets. Those estimates and assumptions are made based on current information available to us regarding those economic conditions or trends or other circumstances. If changes were to occur in the events, trends or other circumstances on which our estimates or assumptions were based, these changes could have a material adverse effect on the carrying value of assets and liabilities and on our results of operations. We have identified two policies and estimates as being critical because they require management to make particularly difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These policies relate to the allowance for credit losses and the valuation of single family mortgage servicing rights.

These policies and estimates are described in further detail in Part II, Item 7- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, within our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Current Developments
COVID-19 Pandemic Update
We continue to monitor the spread of COVID-19 in our communities and adapt to changes in guidance from local healthcare officials. We have taken measures to mitigate opportunities for spread and to help provide a safe environment for our team members.

Our initial response included a business continuity plan with a remote working strategy, social distancing and sanitation plan. We continue to monitor this plan to adapt to recent developments. We continue to take significant measures to protect our employees, such as having most work remotely and where remote work is not viable, implementing a social distancing and sanitation plan. At June 30, 2021, all of our retail deposit branches were open to serve our customers and communities.

We participated in the Small Business Administration’s ("SBA") Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), and during 2021 we funded 1,383 loans with balances of $145 million under the PPP. As of June 30, 2021, PPP outstanding loan balances were $204 million. The loans funded through the PPP program are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government. Through June 30, 2021, cumulative PPP loans forgiven totaled $242 million.

Other Items
As part of our capital management strategy, during the first six months of 2021, we repurchased a total of 1,126,352 shares of our common stock at an average price of $44.39 per share. On July 29, 2021, the Board of Directors approved an expansion of the Company's share repurchase program for up to $15 million of its common stock.

Management's Overview of the Second Quarter 2021 Financial Performance

Second Quarter of 2021 Compared to the First Quarter of 2021

General: Our net income and income before taxes were $29.2 million and $37.4 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2021, as compared to $29.7 million and $36.7 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2021. The $0.6 million increase in income before taxes was due to an increase in net interest income, a lower provision for credit losses and lower noninterest expense, partially offset by lower noninterest income.

Income Taxes: Our effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2021 was 22.0% as compared to 19.3% in the first quarter of 2021 and a statutory rate of 23.5%. Our effective tax rate was lower than our statutory rate due to the benefits of tax advantaged investments. Our effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2021 was higher than the first quarter of 2021 due to reductions in taxes on income related to excess tax benefits resulting from the exercise or vesting of stock awards during the first quarter.

Net Interest Income: The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields on those assets; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense and the average rate of interest on our interest-bearing liabilities; (iii) net interest income; (iv) net interest rate spread; and (v) net yield on interest-earning assets:

(2)    Cost of all deposits, including noninterest-bearing demand deposits was 0.18% and 0.25% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

Net interest income was higher in the second quarter of 2021 due to an increase in our net interest margin and a higher level of interest-earnings assets. The higher balances of interest-earning assets were due primarily to an increase in our loan balances. Our net interest margin increased to 3.45% primarily due to a 17 basis point increase in our net interest rate spread. The increase in our net interest rate spread was due to a lower cost of interest-bearing liabilities and higher yields on interest-earning assets. The 10 basis point increase in yield on interest-earning assets was primarily due to increased PPP loan forgiveness, resulting in accelerated amortization of deferred origination fees. The seven basis point decrease in our costs of interest-bearing liabilities was the result of repricing our deposit products to lower market rates, the maturity of higher-rate time deposits and lower borrowing costs.

Provision for Credit Losses: As a result of the favorable performance of our loan portfolio, a stable low level of nonperforming assets and an improved outlook of the estimated impact of COVID-19 on our loan portfolio, we recorded a $4 million recovery
45


of our allowance for credit losses in the second quarter of 2021, as compared to no provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2021.

The decrease in noninterest income for the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the first quarter of 2021 was due to a $12.2 million decrease in gain on loan origination and sales which was partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in loan servicing income. The decrease in gain on loan origination and sales was primarily due to lower volumes and profit margins on our single family mortgage origination and sales in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the first quarter of 2021. The increase in loan servicing income was due to improved mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") risk management results in the second quarter of 2021, as the first quarter of 2021 had unfavorable risk management results for single family MSRs, due in part to unanticipated volatility in the shape of the yield curve.

Total noninterest expense$52,815 $56,608 

The $3.8 million decrease in noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the first quarter of 2021 was primarily due to a reduction in compensation and benefits costs and general, administrative and other costs. The reduction in compensation and benefit costs was due to a $1.1 million decrease in payroll taxes and reduced staffing, partially offset by the impact of merit increases effective in the latter part of the first quarter of 2021. General, administrative and other costs decreased due to a $1.9 million reimbursement of legal costs received from our insurance carrier in the second quarter of 2021.


47


Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2020

General: Our net income and income before taxes were $58.8 million and $74.1 million, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $26.0 million and $32.9 million, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The $41.3 million increase in income before taxes was due to higher net interest income, lower provision for credit losses and lower noninterest expense, partially offset by lower noninterest income.

Income Taxes: Our effective tax rate during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 20.6% as compared to 20.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and a statutory rate of 23.5%. Our effective tax rate was lower than our statutory rate due primarily to the benefits of tax advantaged investments.

Net Interest Income: The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields on those assets; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense and the average rate of interest on our interest-bearing liabilities; (iii) net interest income; (iv) net interest rate spread; and (v) net yield on interest-earning assets:

Net interest income was higher in the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2020 due to a $300 million increase in interest-earning assets and an increase in our net interest margin from 3.03% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 to 3.37% in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in interest-earning assets was due to the growth of our loan portfolio. The increase in our net interest margin was due to a 50 basis point increase in our net interest rate spread as decreases in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities were greater than the decreases in yields on our interest-earning assets. The 26 basis point decrease in yield on interest-earning assets was due to the origination of loans and purchases of securities at current market rates which were below our portfolio rates, the repricing down of variable rate loans and the prepayment and paydown of higher yielding loans and investments in our portfolios. Our cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from
48


1.15% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 to 0.39% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to a decrease in market interest rates which allowed us to reprice our deposits and borrowings at lower rates.

Provision for Credit Losses: As a result of the favorable performance of our loan portfolio, a stable low level of nonperforming assets and an improved outlook of the estimated impact of COVID-19 on our loan portfolio, we recorded a $4 million recovery of our allowance for credit losses in the six months ended June 30, 2021. Due to adverse economic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, in the six months ended June 30, 2020 we recorded a $20.5 million provision for credit losses as an estimate of the potential adverse impact of those conditions on our loan portfolio.

The decrease in noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 was due to a decrease in loan servicing income, which was partially offset by an increase in gain on loan origination and sale activities. The $2.2 million increase in gain on loan origination and sale activities was due to increased volume and gain on sale margins of multifamily loans, partially offset by lower single family rate locks. The $5.8 million decrease in loan servicing income was due to increased amortization of single family MSRs due to higher levels of prepayments and a $4.4 million decrease in risk management results for single family MSRs which was partially offset by a $2.9 million increase in commercial loan servicing income due to an increase in prepayment fees. The decrease in the risk management results reflected the benefits realized in the six months ended June 30, 2020 related to the high levels of volatility in market interest rates that occurred at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and the costs recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2021 due in part to unanticipated volatility in the shape of the yield curve.

Noninterest Expense consisted of the following for the periods indicated:
 Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)20212020
Noninterest expense
Compensation and benefits$70,213 $66,859

Occupancy 12,465 14,728 
General, administrative and other13,012 16,320 
Total noninterest expense$109,423 $112,836 

The $3.4 million decrease in noninterest expense in the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 was due to lower information services expense, occupancy expense and general, administrative and other expenses, which were partially offset by higher compensation and benefits costs. The higher compensation and benefits costs were due to increased commissions and incentives on higher loan production in the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in information services costs is primarily related to the renegotiation of our core system processing contract. The decrease in occupancy expenses was due to lower rent expense as a result of a reduction in rental space and $1.8 million impairment related to vacant rental space recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2020, with no similar charges in 2021. The decrease in general, administrative and other costs primarily relates to a $1.9 million reimbursement of legal costs received from our insurance carrier in the second quarter of 2021.
50


Financial Condition

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, total assets decreased by $69 million as decreases in investments, loans held for sale and other assets were partially offset by a $153 million increase in loans held for investment. Loans held for investment increased due to $1.7 billion of originations, which were partially offset by prepayments and scheduled payments of $1.3 billion and loan sales of $247 million. Total liabilities decreased primarily due to a $273 million decrease in borrowings, which was partially offset by a $265 million increase in deposits. The decrease in borrowings reflect the reduced need of wholesale funding resulting from the increase in deposits. The growth in deposits was due to new customers and increases in existing customer balances.

Credit Risk Management

As of June 30, 2021, our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets remained low at 0.31% while our ratio of total loans delinquent over 30 days to total loans was 0.61%. The Company recorded a $4 million recovery of our allowance for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has approved forbearances for some of its borrowers. The status of these forbearances as of June 30, 2021 is as follows:

Liquidity and Sources of Funds

Liquidity risk management is primarily intended to ensure we are able to maintain sources of cash to adequately fund operations and meet our obligations, including demands from depositors, draws on lines of credit and paying any creditors, on a timely and cost-effective basis, in various market conditions. Our liquidity profile is influenced by changes in market conditions, the composition of the balance sheet and risk tolerance levels. The Company has established liquidity guidelines and operating plans that detail the sources and uses of cash and liquidity.

The Company's primary sources of liquidity include deposits, loan payments and investment securities payments, both principal and interest, borrowings, and proceeds from the sale of loans and investment securities. Borrowings include advances from the FHLB, federal funds purchased and borrowing from other financial institutions. Additionally, the Company may sell stock or issue long-term debt to raise funds. While scheduled principal repayments on loans and investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit inflows and outflows and prepayments of loans and investment securities are greatly influenced by interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

The Company’s contractual cash flow obligations include the maturity of certificates of deposit, short-term and long-term borrowings, interest on certificates of deposit and borrowings, operating leases and fees for information technology related services and professional services. Obligations for certificates of deposit and short-term borrowings are typically satisfied through the renewal of these instruments or the generation of new deposits or use of available short-term borrowings. Interest payments and obligations related to leases and services are typically met by cash generated from our operations. The Company does not have any obligation to repay long term debt within the next five years.

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Bank had available borrowing capacity of $908 million and $550 million, respectively, from the FHLB, and $430 million and $406 million, respectively, from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion under borrowing lines established with other financial institutions.

Cash Flows

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents increased by $30 million compared to an increase of $8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. As excess liquidity can reduce the Company’s earnings and returns, the Company manages its cash positions to minimize the level of excess liquidity and does not attempt to maximize the level of cash and cash equivalents. The following discussion highlights the major activities and transactions that affected our cash flows during these periods.

Cash flows from operating activities

The Company's operating assets and liabilities are used to support our lending activities, including the origination and sale of mortgage loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash of $55 million was provided by operating activities, primarily from cash proceeds from the sale of loans exceeding cash used to fund LHFS. We believe that cash flows from operations, available cash balances and our ability to generate cash through short-term debt are sufficient to fund our operating liquidity needs. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash of $145 million was used in operating activities, primarily from cash used to fund LHFS production exceeding cash proceeds from the sale of loans.

Cash flows from investing activities

The Company's investing activities primarily include AFS securities and loans originated as held for investment. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash of $44 million was provided by investing activities primarily from principal payments and the proceeds from the sale of LHFI and AFS securities, which were partially offset by the origination of LHFI and the purchase of AFS securities For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash of $371 million was used by investing activities, primarily due to the purchase of investment securities, the origination of loans net of principal payments, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of loans originated as LHFI and investment securities and principal repayments and maturities of investment securities.

Cash flows from financing activities

The Company's financing activities are primarily related to deposits and net proceeds from borrowings. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash of $69 million was used in financing activities, primarily due to net repayment of short-term borrowings, repurchases of and dividends paid on our common stock, which was partially offset by growth in deposits. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash of $525 million was provided by financing activities, primarily due to net proceeds on borrowings and increase in deposits, partially offset by common stock repurchases and dividends paid on our common stock.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we are a party to financial instruments that carry off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments (which include commitments to originate loans and commitments to purchase loans) include potential credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These transactions are designed to (1) meet the financial needs of our customers, (2) manage our credit, market or liquidity risks, (3) diversify our funding sources and/or (4) optimize capital.

These commitments include the following:

Capital Resources and Dividend Policy

The capital rules applicable to United States based bank holding companies and federally insured depository institutions (“Capital Rules”) require the Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank (on a stand-alone basis) to meet specific capital adequacy requirements that, for the most part, involve quantitative measures, primarily in terms of the ratios of their capital to their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items, calculated under regulatory accounting practices. In addition, prompt corrective action regulations place a federally insured depository institution, such as the Bank, into one of five capital categories on the basis of its capital ratios: (i) well capitalized; (ii) adequately capitalized; (iii) undercapitalized; (iv) significantly undercapitalized; or (v) critically undercapitalized. A depository institution’s primary federal regulatory agency may determine that, based on certain qualitative assessments, the depository institution should be assigned to a lower capital category than the one indicated by its capital ratios. At each successive lower capital category, a depository institution is subject to greater operating restrictions and increased regulatory supervision by its federal bank regulatory agency.

The following table sets forth the capital and capital ratios of HomeStreet Inc. (on a consolidated basis) and HomeStreet Bank as compared to the respective regulatory requirements applicable to them:

As of each of the dates set forth in the above table, the Company exceeded the minimum required capital ratios applicable to it and the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the minimums necessary to qualify as a well-capitalized depository institution under the prompt corrective action regulations. In addition to the minimum capital ratios, both HomeStreet Inc. and HomeStreet Bank are required to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional Common Equity Tier 1 Capital of more than 2.5% above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses. The required ratios for capital adequacy set forth in the above table do not include the Capital Rules’ additional capital conservation buffer, though each of the Company and Bank maintained capital ratios necessary to satisfy the capital conservation buffer requirements as of the dates indicated. At June 30, 2021, capital conservation buffers for the Company and the Bank were 5.59% and 6.36%, respectively.

The Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per common share in each of the first and second quarters of 2021. It is our current intention to continue to pay quarterly dividends, and on July 29, 2021 we declared another cash dividend of $0.25 per common share payable on August 24, 2021 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 10, 2021. The amount and declaration of future cash dividends are subject to approval by our Board of Directors and certain regulatory restrictions.

We had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30, 2021. However, we intend to take advantage of opportunities that may arise in the future to grow our businesses, which may include opening additional offices or acquiring complementary businesses that we believe will provide us with attractive risk-adjusted returns. As a result, we may seek to obtain additional borrowings and to sell additional shares of our common stock to raise funds which we might need for these purposes. There is no assurance, however, that, if required, we will succeed in obtaining additional borrowings or selling additional shares of our common stock on terms that are acceptable to us, if at all, as this will depend on market conditions and other factors outside of our control, as well as our future results of operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. These supplemental performance measures may vary from, and may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures provided by other companies in our industry. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure may also be a financial metric that is not required by GAAP or other applicable requirement.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by providing additional information used by management that is not otherwise required by GAAP or other applicable requirements. Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating results and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate a comparison of our performance to prior periods. We believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the information below, we have provided a reconciliation of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP measures used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure.

In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we use (i) tangible common equity and tangible assets and ratios calculated using these measures as we believe this information is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of capital ratios; and (ii) an efficiency ratio which is the ratio of noninterest expense to the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, excluding certain items of income or expense and excluding taxes incurred and payable to the state of Washington as such taxes are not classified as income taxes and we believe including them in noninterest expense impacts the comparability of our results to those companies whose operations are in states where assessed taxes on business are classified as income taxes.

ITEM 3QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk Management

Market risk is defined as the sensitivity of income, fair value measurements and capital to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and other relevant market rates or prices. The primary market risks that we are exposed to are price and interest rate risks. Price risk is defined as the risk to current or anticipated earnings or capital arising from changes in the value of either assets or liabilities that are entered into as part of distributing or managing risk. Interest rate risk is defined as risk to current or anticipated earnings or capital arising from movements in interest rates.

For the Company, price and interest rate risks arise from the financial instruments and positions we hold. This includes loans, MSRs, investment securities, deposits, borrowings, long-term debt and derivative financial instruments. Due to the nature of our current operations, we are not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. Our real estate loan portfolio is subject to risks associated with the local economies of our various markets, in particular, the regional economy of the western United States, including Hawaii.

The spread between the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and the relative dollar amounts of these assets and liabilities are the principal items affecting net interest income. Changes in net interest rates (interest rate risk) are influenced to a significant degree by the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities (timing risk), the relationship between various rates (basis risk), customer options (option risk) and changes in the shape of the yield curve (time-sensitive risk). We manage the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio while maintaining a balance between risk and return. The Company's funding strategy is to grow core deposits while we efficiently supplement using wholesale borrowings.

We estimate the sensitivity of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates using an interest rate simulation model that includes assumptions related to the level of balance sheet growth, deposit repricing characteristics and the rate of prepayments for multiple interest rate change scenarios. Interest rate sensitivity depends on certain repricing characteristics in our interest-earnings assets and interest-bearing liabilities, including the maturity structure of assets and liabilities and their repricing characteristics during the periods of changes in market interest rates. Effective interest rate risk management seeks to ensure both assets and liabilities respond to changes in interest rates within an acceptable timeframe, minimizing the impact of interest rate changes on net interest income and capital. Interest rate sensitivity is measured as the difference between the volume of assets and liabilities, at a point in time, that are subject to repricing at various time horizons, known as interest rate sensitivity gaps.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company is considered liability-sensitive as exhibited by the gap table but our net interest income sensitivity analysis shows positive results in the increasing interest rate scenarios. This is because of the impact of our historical deposit repricing betas which result in an assumed delay in repricing of deposits in an increasing interest rate scenario and a lower magnitude of repricing compared to the repricing of loans and other interest-earning assets. Net interest income would be expected to rise in the long term if interest rates were to rise due to the Bank’s cumulative asset-sensitive position.

Changes in the mix of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities can either increase or decrease the net interest margin, without affecting interest rate sensitivity. In addition, the interest rate spread between an earning asset and its funding liability can

vary significantly, while the timing of repricing for both the asset and the liability remains the same, thereby impacting net interest income. This characteristic is referred to as basis risk. Varying interest rate environments can create unexpected changes in prepayment levels of assets and liabilities that are not reflected in the interest rate sensitivity analysis. These prepayments may have a significant impact on our net interest margin. Because of these factors, an interest sensitivity gap analysis may not provide an accurate assessment of our actual exposure to changes in interest rates.

The estimated impact on our net interest income over a time horizon of one year and the change in net portfolio value as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are provided in the table below. For the scenarios shown, the interest rate simulation assumes an instantaneous and sustained shift in market interest rates and no change in the composition or size of the balance sheet.

-100(3.6)%(2.5)%(3.8)%(3.7)%
-200(4.9)%(7.6)%(4.7)%(5.7)%

(1)For purposes of our model, we assume interest rates will not go below zero. This "floor" limits the effect of a potential negative interest rate shock in a low rate environment like the one we are currently experiencing.
(2)This percentage change represents the impact to net interest income for a one-year period, assuming there is no change in the structure of the balance sheet.
(3)This percentage change represents the impact to the net present value of equity, assuming there is no change in the structure of the balance sheet.

At June 30, 2021, we believe our net interest income sensitivity did not exhibit a strong bias to either an increase in interest rates or a decline in interest rates. The changes in interest rate sensitivity between December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021 reflected the impact of higher market interest rates, a steeper yield curve and changes to overall balance sheet composition. Some of the assumptions made in the simulation model may not materialize and unanticipated events and circumstances will occur. We do not allow for negative rate assumptions in our model, but actual results in extreme interest rate decline scenarios may result in negative rate assumptions which may cause the modeling results to be inherently unreliable. In addition, the simulation model does not take into account any future actions that we could undertake to mitigate an adverse impact due to changes in interest rates from those expected, in the actual level of market interest rates or competitive influences on our deposits.
