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 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. The Company allocates resources and assesses financial performance on a consolidated basis and therefore has one reporting segment. 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.

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, 2022 ("2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K"), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Branch Acquisition

On February 10, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of three branches in southern California, whereby we assumed approximately $373 million in deposits and purchased approximately $21 million in loans. The application of the acquisition method of accounting resulted in recording goodwill of $12 million and a core deposit intangible of $11 million.

Recent Accounting Developments

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). This ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") 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 applied to derivatives that are affected by the transition to alternative rates. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848," which defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The adoption of these ASUs is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326). The amendments in this ASU eliminate the accounting guidance for Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDRs") by creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a borrower experiences financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require that an entity disclose current period gross charge-offs by year of origination in a vintage table. We prospectively adopted the portion of ASU No. 2022-02 with respect to amendments about TDRs and related disclosure enhancements as of January 1, 2022. This adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. We prospectively adopted the vintage table disclosure requirement of ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023, which did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

9


In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, “Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method.” ASU 2023-02 permits reporting entities to elect to account for their tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. ASU 2023-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. ASU 2023-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

At March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company held $62 million and $19 million, respectively, of trading securities, consisting of US Treasury notes used as economic hedges of our mortgage servicing rights, which are carried at fair value and included as investment securities on the balance sheet. For the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, net gains of $0.6 million and net losses of $0.7 million on trading securities, respectively, were recorded in servicing income.

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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, substantially all securities held, including municipal bonds and corporate debt securities, were rated investment grade based upon nationally recognized statistical rating organizations where available and, where not available, based upon internal ratings.

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 March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022. In addition, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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. 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was 3.15% and 3.08%, respectively.

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

(1)    Includes $5.2 million and $5.9 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 $5.7 billion and $5.2 billion at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, were pledged to secure borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") and loans totaling $562 million and $497 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, were pledged to secure borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco ("FRBSF").

Credit Risk Concentrations

LHFI are primarily secured by real estate located in the Pacific Northwest, California and Hawaii. At March 31, 2023, single family and multifamily loans in the state of Washington and California, represented 10% and 36% of the total LHFI portfolio, respectively. At December 31, 2022, multifamily loans in the state of California represented 36% of the total LHFI portfolio.

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 first quarter of 2023, the historical expected loss rates increased from December 31, 2022 due to product mix risk composition changes. During the first quarter of 2023, the qualitative factors decreased due to the continued favorable performance of our loan portfolio. As of March 31, 2023, the Bank expects deterioration in collateral values and economic conditions over the two-year forecast period in the markets in which it operates.
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 $2.2 million at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
14


The Bank has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the evaluation of the ACL. Accrued interest on LHFI was $27.6 million and $26.9 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and was reported in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Loan Modifications

The Company provides modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty ("MFDB"), which may include delays in payment of amounts due, extension of the terms of the notes or reduction in the interest rates on the notes. In certain instances, the Company may grant more than one type of modification. The granting of modifications in the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 did not have a material impact on the ACL. The following tables provide information related to loans modified during the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, disaggregated by class of financing receivable and type of concession granted:

Added a weighted average 16.1 years to the life of loans, which reduced the monthly payment amounts to the borrowers.

Upon determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.

The following table depicts the payment status of loans that were MFDBs on or after January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022:

NOTE 5–DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES:

To reduce the risk of significant interest rate fluctuations on the value of certain assets and liabilities, such as single family mortgage LHFS and MSRs, the Company utilizes derivatives as economic hedges. The notional amounts and fair values for derivatives, which are included in other assets or accounts payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, consist of the following:

The collateral used under the Company's master netting agreements is typically cash, but securities may be used under agreements with certain counterparties. Receivables related to cash collateral that has been paid to counterparties are included in other assets. Payables related to cash collateral that has been received from counterparties are included in accounts payable and other liabilities. Interest is owed on amounts received from counterparties and we earn interest on cash paid to counterparties. Any securities pledged to counterparties as collateral remain on the consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had liabilities of $11.0 million and $12.8 million, respectively, in cash collateral received from counterparties and receivables of $0.03 million and $0.03 million, respectively, in cash collateral paid to counterparties.

CRE, multifamily and SBA 1,917,154 1,938,484 
Total$7,342,063 $7,375,383 

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, appraisal errors, early payment defaults and fraud.

The following is a summary of changes in the Company's liability for estimated single-family mortgage repurchase losses:

(1) Includes additions for new loan sales and changes in estimated probable future repurchase losses on previously sold loans.
(2) Includes principal losses and accrued interest on repurchased loans, "make-whole" settlements, settlements with claimants and certain related expenses.

The Company has agreements with certain investors to advance scheduled principal and interest amounts on delinquent loans. Advances are also made to fund the foreclosure and collection costs of delinquent loans prior to the recovery of reimbursable
27


amounts from investors or borrowers. Advances of $2.8 million and $1.6 million were recorded in other assets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

When the Company has the unilateral right to repurchase Ginnie Mae pool loans it has previously sold (generally loans that are more than 90 days past due), the Company records the balance of the loans as other assets and other liabilities. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, delinquent or defaulted mortgage loans currently in Ginnie Mae pools that the Company has recognized on its consolidated balance sheets totaled $5.7 million and $6.9 million, respectively.

(2) Principally reflects changes in model assumptions, including prepayment speed assumptions, which are primarily affected by changes in mortgage interest rates.

Key economic assumptions used in measuring the initial fair value of capitalized single family MSRs were as follows: 

Quarter Ended March 31,
(rates per annum) (1)

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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total unpaid principal balance of loans sold under this program was $1.8 billion. The Company's reserve liability related to this arrangement totaled $0.6 million at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. There were no actual losses incurred under this arrangement during the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

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 $5.4 billion at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had recorded a mortgage repurchase liability for loans sold on a servicing-retained and
29


servicing-released basis, included in accounts payable and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, of $1.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Based on a weighted average basis, 251,821 and 13,040 unvested stock units convertible into shares of common stock were excluded for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

 

NOTE 9–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.

30


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 ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 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
33


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.

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 $5.9 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 is 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.

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 presents assets classified as Level 3 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:

Fair Value Option

Single family loans held for sale accounted under the fair value option are measured initially at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Gains and losses from such changes in fair value are recognized in net gain on mortgage loan origination and sale activities within noninterest income. The change in fair value of loans held for sale is
36


primarily driven by changes in interest rates subsequent to loan funding and changes in fair value of the related servicing asset, resulting in revaluations adjustments to the recorded fair value. The use of the fair value option allows the change in the fair value of loans to more effectively offset the change in fair value of derivative instruments that are used as economic hedges of loans held for sale.

The following table presents the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance of loans held for sale accounted for under the fair value option:

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 2022 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, long-term value creation, capital management, reduction in volatility, reliability of earnings, net interest margins, provisions and allowances for credit losses, cost reduction initiatives, and restructuring activities 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 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.

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 SEC'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 SEC. Copies of our Securities Exchange Act reports are also available from our investor relations website, http://ir.homestreet.com. Information contained in or linked from our websites is not incorporated into and does not constitute a part of this report.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We have identified two 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 (“ACL”) and the valuation of single family mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs"). Additionally, we identified goodwill as a critical accounting matter in light of recent trends in bank valuations.

The ACL is calculated based on quantitative and qualitative factors to estimate credit losses over the life of the loan. The inputs used to determine quantitative factors include estimates based on historical experience of probability of default and losses given default. Inputs used to determine qualitative factors include changes in current portfolio characteristics and operating environments such as current and forecasted unemployment rates, capitalization rates used to value properties securing loans, rental rates and single family pricing indexes. Qualitative factors may also include adjustments to address matters not contemplated by the model and assumptions used to determine qualitative factors. Although we believe that our methodology for determining an appropriate level for the ACL adequately addresses the various components that could potentially result in credit losses, the processes and their elements include features that may be susceptible to significant change. Any unfavorable differences between the actual outcome of credit-related events and our estimates could require an additional provision for credit losses. For example, if the projected unemployment rate was downgraded one grade for all periods, the amount of the ACL at March 31, 2023 would increase by approximately $8 million. This sensitivity analysis is hypothetical and has been provided only to indicate the potential impact that changes in assumptions may have on the ACL estimate.
38



The valuation of MSRs is based on various assumptions which are set forth in Note 6–Mortgage Banking Operations of the financial statements. Note 6 also provides sensitivity analysis based on the assumptions used. The sensitivity analyses are hypothetical and have been provided to indicate the potential impact that changes in assumptions may have on the estimate of the fair value of MSRs.

The Company has goodwill on its books related to acquisitions it has completed, including the acquisition of the three southern California branches in the first quarter of 2023. Our goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that a potential impairment exists. Such evaluation may be based on a variety of factors, including the quoted price of our common stock, market prices of common stock of other banking organizations, common stock trading multiples and discounted cash flows analyses. Future evaluations of goodwill may result in impairment and ensuing write-downs, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and capital position.

Current Developments
Our financial results continue to be adversely impacted by increases in short-term interest rates. We have continued to raise new deposits through promotional certificates of deposit and have reduced new loan originations. Additionally, we have focused our new loan origination activity primarily on floating rate products such as commercial loans, residential construction loans and home equity loans.

Our net interest margin decreased in the first quarter due to decreases in lower cost transaction and savings deposits and overall higher funding costs. We expect continued decreases in lower cost deposit accounts as these accounts migrate to higher yielding alternatives, including promotional accounts offered by us. We expect to replace this migration with higher cost promotional deposit accounts or wholesale funding alternatives. As we anticipate these funding cost pressures to continue in the near term, we expect our net interest margin to decline for the remainder of 2023.

On February 10, 2023, we closed our purchase of three branches in southern California, whereby we acquired $373 million in deposits and $21 million in loans and recorded $11 million of core deposit intangibles and $12 million of goodwill. The deposit balances in these branches at the end of March 2023 totaled $322 million.

Management's Overview of the First Quarter 2023 Financial Performance

First Quarter of 2023 Compared to the Fourth Quarter of 2022

General: Our net income and income before taxes were $5.1 million and $6.5 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2023, as compared to $8.5 million and $11.1 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2022. The $4.7 million decrease in income before taxes was due to lower net interest income and higher noninterest expense, partially offset by a lower provision for credit losses and higher noninterest income.

Income Taxes: Our effective tax rate was 22.0% in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to 23.7% in fourth quarter of 2022 and a statutory rate of 24.4%. Our effective tax rates were lower than our statutory rate due primarily to the benefits of tax advantaged investments. Additionally, because the benefits of our tax advantaged investments were larger in relation to our income before taxes in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, our effective tax rate was lower in the first quarter of 2023.

(1)    Includes taxable-equivalent adjustments primarily related to tax-exempt income on certain loans and securities of $1.2 million and $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The estimated federal statutory tax rate was 21% for the periods presented.
(2)    Cost of all deposits, including noninterest-bearing demand deposits was 1.65% and 1.09% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Net interest income was $6.3 million lower in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 primarily due to a decrease in our net interest margin from 2.53% to 2.23%. The decrease in our net interest margin was due to a 52 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which was partially offset by a 11 basis point increase in the yield on interest-earning assets. Yields on interest-earning assets increased as the yields on loan originations during the first quarter were higher than the rates of our existing portfolio of loans and yields on adjustable rate loans increased due to increases in the indexes on which their pricing is based. The increase in the rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities was due to higher deposit costs and higher borrowing costs. Our cost of borrowings increased 64 basis points during the first quarter and our cost of deposits increased 56 basis points. The increases in yields on interest-earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities were due to the significant increases in market interest rates during 2022 and the first quarter of 2023.

43


Provision for Credit Losses: A $0.6 million provision for credit losses was recorded during the first quarter of 2023 compared to a $3.8 million provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2022. The provision for the first quarter of 2023 was to offset the net charge-offs realized as the overall LHFI portfolio balances only increased $60 million. The provision in the fourth quarter of 2022 was due to the growth in our loan portfolio and a $2.2 million increase in our collateral qualitative factor related to projected declines in future home prices.

The increase in noninterest income in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in single family lending gain on sale activities due to higher levels of originations of loans held for sale.

Total noninterest expense$52,491 $50,420 

The $2.1 million increase in noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily due to higher compensation and benefit costs, partially offset by lower information services costs. The higher level of compensation and benefit costs was due to seasonally higher benefits costs, primarily employer taxes and 401(k) matches, and a reduction in deferred costs due to lower levels of loan production. The benefits of lower levels of staffing in our loan origination operations in the first quarter were offset by the impact of raises given during the first quarter and the employees added from the acquisition of the three branches in southern California. Information service costs decreased primarily due to the higher fourth quarter 2022 costs associated with replacement and maintenance of our automated teller machines.

First Quarter of 2023 Compared to First Quarter of 2022

General: Our net income and income before taxes were $5.1 million and $6.5 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2023, as compared to $20.0 million and $24.6 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2022. The $18.1 million decrease in income before taxes was due to a lower net interest income, a provision for credit losses and lower noninterest income, partially offset by lower noninterest expense.

Income Taxes: Our effective tax rate during the first quarter of 2023 was 22.0% as compared to 19.0% in the first quarter of 2022 and our statutory rate of 24.4%. Our effective tax rates were lower than our statutory rate due to the benefits of tax advantaged investments. The first quarter of 2022 also benefited from reductions in taxes on income related to excess tax benefits resulting from the vesting of stock awards during the period. No such benefits were realized in the first quarter of 2023.

(2) Cost of deposits including noninterest-bearing deposits, was 1.65% and 0.15% for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Net interest income in the first quarter of 2023 decreased $5.2 million as compared to the first quarter of 2022 due primarily to a decrease in our net interest margin partially offset by increases in the average balance of interest earning assets. The increase in interest-earning assets was due to loan originations and purchases of investment securities. Our net interest margin decreased from 3.29% in the first quarter of 2022 to 2.23% in the first quarter of 2023 due to a 226 basis point increase in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities which was partially offset by an 80 basis point increase in the yield on interest earning assets. Yields on interest-earning assets increased as the yields on loan originations during the last 15 months were higher than the rates of our existing portfolio of loans and yields on adjustable rate loans increased due to increases in the indexes on which their pricing is based. The higher yields on our investment securities were primarily due to adjustments to yields realized from longer estimated lives of certain securities and the yields of securities purchased during the past year being higher than the yields on our existing portfolio. The increase in the rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities was due to higher deposit costs, higher borrowing costs and an increase in the proportion of higher cost borrowings used as our sources of funding. The increases in the rates paid on deposits were due to the significant increase in market interest rates over the prior year. Our average borrowings increased by $1.3 billion to fund the growth of our loan portfolio and investment securities. Our cost of borrowings increased from 56 basis points during the first quarter of 2022 to 457 basis points during the first quarter of 2023 due to the significant increase in market interest rates during the last 15 months.

46


Provision for Credit Losses: A $0.6 million provision for credit losses was recorded during the first quarter of 2023 compared to a $9.0 million recovery of our allowance for credit losses in the first quarter of 2022. The provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2023 was to offset the net charge-offs realized during the quarter. The recovery of our allowance for credit losses in first quarter of 2022 was the 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.

The decrease in noninterest income for the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022 was due to a decrease in gain on loan origination and sale activities, which was partially offset by higher deposit fees. The $5.9 million decrease in gain on loan origination and sale activities was due to a $4.0 million decrease in single family gain on loan origination and sale activities and a $1.9 million decrease in commercial real estate and commercial gain on loan origination and sale activities. The decrease in single family gain on loan origination and sale activities was due to a decrease in rate lock volume as a result of the effects of increasing mortgage interest rates. The decrease in commercial real estate and commercial gain on loan origination and sale activities was primarily due to an 82% decrease in the volume of loans sold as a result of increasing interest rates. The $0.6 million increase in deposit fee income was primarily due to higher early withdrawals fees.

Noninterest Expense consisted of the following:

Total noninterest expense$52,491 $54,473 

The $2.0 million decrease in noninterest expense in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2022 was primarily due to lower compensation and benefit costs, partially offset by increases in general, administrative and other expenses. The $2.8 million decrease in compensation and benefit costs was primarily due to reduced commission expense on lower loan origination volumes in our single family mortgage operations, lower staffing levels and lower bonus expense, which were partially offset by wage increases given in the first quarter of 2023 and a reduction in deferred costs due to lower levels of loan production. The increase in general, administrative and other costs was primarily due to higher FDIC fees due to our larger asset base and core deposit intangible amortization associated with the three acquired branches, which were partially offset by a reduction in legal fees due to charges related to nonrecurring costs expended on litigation activities and legal matters in the first quarter of 2022.

Financial Condition

During the first quarter of 2023, we completed the purchase of three branches in southern California whereby we acquired $373 million of deposits, $21 million of loans, $5 million of fixed assets and $324 million of cash, and recorded $11 million of core deposit intangibles and $12 million of goodwill.

Excluding the impact of the acquisition noted above, during the first quarter of 2023, our total assets increased $121 million due primarily to a $304 million increase in cash, $39 million increase in loans held for investment and a $77 million increase in investment securities. Loans held for investment increased due to $325 million of originations, which were partially offset by prepayments and scheduled payments of $285 million. Excluding the impact of the acquisition noted above, during the first quarter of 2023 total liabilities increased $108 million due to an increase in borrowings, partially offset by a decrease in deposits. The $862 million increase in borrowings was used to replace higher-cost brokered deposits and increase our on-balance sheet liquidity. The decrease in deposits was due to a $561 million decrease in brokered certificates of deposit and a $345 million decrease in non-certificates of deposit balances which were partially offset by a $253 million increase in certificates of deposit balances related to our promotional products.

Credit Risk Management

As of March 31, 2023, our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets remained low at 0.15% while our ratio of total loans delinquent over 30 days to total loans was 0.41%. The Company recorded a $0.6 million provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2023 which offset the net charge-offs realized as the overall LHFI portfolio balances only increased $60 million. Our overall ratio of ACL to LHFI decreased slightly to 0.56% at March 31, 2023 from 0.57% at December 31, 2022.

Management considers the current level of the ACL to be appropriate to cover estimated lifetime losses within our LHFI portfolio. The following table presents the ACL by product type:

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 has $64 million of Senior Notes which mature in 2026 which it expects to pay off from available cash or from the issuance of new debt.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Bank had available borrowing capacity of $2.1 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, from the FHLB, and $397 million and $340 million, respectively, from the FRBSF and $1.2 billion, in both periods, under borrowing lines established with other financial institutions.

Cash Flows

For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents increased by $304 million compared to an increase of $9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 which reflected a decision to keep a higher level of on-balance sheet cash at the end of the first quarter of 2023. We expect to reduce our cash holdings by approximately $300 million during the second quarter, as we no longer consider it necessary to retain such high levels of cash on the balance sheet. 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 quarter ended March 31, 2023, net cash of $52 million was used in operating activities, primarily from cash proceeds from the purchase of trading securities and cash used to fund LHFS exceeding proceeds from the sale of loans. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, net cash of $124 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 borrowings are sufficient to fund our operating liquidity needs. We are currently not aware of any trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in our liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way that will impact our capital needs during or beyond the next 12 months.

Cash flows from investing activities

The Company's investing activities primarily include AFS investment securities and loans originated as held for investment. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, net cash of $269 million was provided by investing activities primarily from net cash acquired from an acquisition partially offset by the origination of LHFI net of principal repayments and the purchase of AFS investment securities and net FHLB stock purchases. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, net cash of $464 million was used in investing activities primarily from the origination of LHFI net of principal repayments and the purchase of AFS investment securities.

50


Cash flows from financing activities

The Company's financing activities are primarily related to deposits and net proceeds from borrowings. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, net cash of $87 million was provided by financing activities, primarily due to an increase in short-term and long-term borrowings partially offset by a decrease in deposits and dividends paid on our common stock. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, net cash of $349 million was provided by financing activities, primarily due to growth in deposits, an increase in short-term borrowings and proceeds from the issuance of the subordinated notes, partially offset by repurchases of 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 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 March 31, 2023, capital conservation buffers for the Company and the Bank were 3.16% and 4.37%, respectively.

The Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per common share in the first quarter of 2023 and on April 24, 2023, we declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per common share payable on May 24, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 10, 2023. It is our current intention to continue to pay quarterly dividends, however, the amount and declaration of future cash dividends are subject to approval by our Board of Directors and certain regulatory restrictions.

52


We had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of March 31, 2023. 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. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we use the following non-GAAP measures: (i) tangible common equity and tangible assets as we believe this information is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of capital ratios; 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.

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

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

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 March 31, 2023, the Company is considered liability-sensitive as exhibited by the gap table. Our net interest income sensitivity analysis results are basically neutral due in part to the steps the Company has taken to extend the duration of its liabilities, both through increased levels of term certificates of deposit and the utilization of fixed-rate term borrowings.

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
57


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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 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.

(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.
(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.

The changes in interest rate sensitivity between December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 reflected the impact of higher market interest rates, a flatter 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.

Current Banking Environment

Industry events, including bank failures, have led to uncertainty and concerns regarding the liquidity positions of the banking sector. These failures underscore the importance of maintaining access to diverse sources of funding. Market conditions and external factors may unpredictably impact the competitive landscape for deposits in the banking industry. Additionally, the rising interest rate environment has increased competition for liquidity and the premium at which liquidity is available to meet funding needs. Reliance on secondary funding sources could increase the Company's overall cost of funding and reduce net interest income. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had available contingent liquidity of $5.8 billion which is equal to 82% of its total deposits and level of uninsured deposits was only 14% of total deposits. The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its current needs.

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Because the nature of our business involves, among other things, the collection of numerous accounts, the validity of liens and compliance with various state and federal laws, we are subject to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business related to foreclosures, bankruptcies, condemnation and quiet title actions and alleged statutory and regulatory violations. We are also subject to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business related to employment and other consumer matters. We do not expect that these proceedings, taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or our results of operations. There are currently no matters that, in the opinion of management, would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated balance sheet, results of operations or liquidity, or for which there would be a reasonable possibility of such a loss based on information known at this time.
