Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Territorial Bancorp Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed as part of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made and consist only of normal recurring adjustments. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.

(2) Organization

On July 10, 2009, Territorial Savings Bank completed a conversion from a mutual holding company to a stock holding company. As part of the conversion, Territorial Mutual Holding Company and Territorial Savings Group, Inc., the former holding companies for Territorial Savings Bank, ceased to exist as separate legal entities, and Territorial Bancorp Inc. became the holding company for Territorial Savings Bank. Upon completion of the conversion and reorganization, a special “liquidation account” was established in an amount equal to the total equity of Territorial Mutual Holding Company as of December 31, 2008. The liquidation account is to provide eligible account holders and supplemental eligible account holders who maintain their deposit accounts with Territorial Savings Bank after the conversion with a liquidation interest in the unlikely event of the complete liquidation of Territorial Savings Bank after the conversion. The balance of the liquidation account at December 31, 2016 was $12.2 million.

On June 25, 2014, Territorial Savings Bank converted from a federal savings bank to a Hawaii state-chartered savings bank. On July 10, 2014, Territorial Savings Bank became a member of the Federal Reserve System.

(3) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the Revenue Recognition topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The amendment seeks to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue as well as to develop common revenue standards for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. The Company has reviewed all revenue sources to determine if the sources are in scope for this guidance. Net interest income from financial assets and liabilities are explicitly excluded from the scope of the amendment. The Company’s overall assessment of key in-scope revenue sources include service charges on deposit accounts, rental income from safe deposit boxes and commissions on insurance and annuity sales. The guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s revenue recognition for these key in-scope revenue sources. The Company plans to adopt this amendment effective January 1, 2018, under the modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings, if such adjustment is considered to be significant.

In January 2016, the FASB amended the Financial Instruments – Overall topic of the FASB ASC. The amendment addresses several aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. Included are: (a) a requirement to measure equity investments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (b) a simplification of the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values, (c) the elimination of the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet, and (d) a requirement to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. Since the Company does not own any equity securities subject to the amendment in its investment portfolio, the amendment will not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the effects that the

Table of Contents

use of exit prices will have on its fair value disclosures. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

In February 2016, the FASB amended the Leases topic of the FASB ASC. The primary effects of the amendment will be to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose certain information about leasing arrangements. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has several lease agreements for branch locations and equipment that will require recognition on the consolidated balance sheets upon adoption of the amendment. The Company will continue to evaluate the effects that the adoption of this amendment will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB amended the Compensation – Stock Compensation topic of the FASB ASC. The amendment includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. Some of the key provisions of the amendment require companies to record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax benefit or expense in the income statement rather than as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. In addition, the amendment requires that excess tax benefits should be reported as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows and increases the amount an employer can withhold for taxes for share-based compensation awards. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this amendment effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of this amendment has resulted in increased volatility to income tax expense related to excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies for share-based compensation. The amount of tax benefits or deficiencies recognized in income tax expense depends on the number of options exercised and the difference in the stock prices at the exercise and grant dates. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized $150,000 and $541,000, respectively, of tax benefits related to the exercise of stock options.

In June 2016, the FASB amended various sections of the FASB ASC related to the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments. The amendment changes the threshold for recognizing losses from a “probable” to an “expected” model. The new model is referred to as the current expected credit loss model and applies to loans, leases, held-to-maturity investments, loan commitments and financial guarantees. The amendment requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets as of the reporting date (including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts) and enhanced disclosures that will help financial statement users understand the estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses and evaluating the credit quality of an organization’s portfolio. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will apply the amendment’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the first period the amendment is effective. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this amendment will have on its consolidated financial statements by gathering the information that is necessary to make the calculations required by the amendment. This may result in increased credit losses on financial instruments recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB amended the Compensation – Retirement Benefits topic of the FASB ASC. The amendment requires the service cost component of net benefit cost to be reported in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from employee services. It also requires the other components of net benefit cost to be reported in the income statement separately from the service cost component. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company has performed a preliminary evaluation and does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

The sale of these mortgage-backed securities, for which the Company had already collected a substantial portion of the outstanding purchased principal (at least 85%), is in accordance with the Investments – Debt and Equity Securities topic of the FASB ASC and does not taint management’s assertion of intent to hold remaining securities in the held-to-maturity portfolio to maturity.

Investment securities with amortized costs of $275.6 million and $239.9 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and transaction clearing accounts.

Provided below is a summary of investment securities which were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Company does not intend to sell held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities

Mortgage-Backed Securities. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in mortgage-backed securities were caused by increases in market interest rates subsequent to purchase. All of the mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, which are U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, or Ginnie Mae, which is a U.S. government agency. Since the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and the Company does not intend to sell these investments until maturity and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such investments prior to recovery of its cost basis, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Trust Preferred Securities. At September 30, 2017, the Company owned one trust preferred security, PreTSL XXIII. PreTSL XXIII has an amortized cost and a remaining cost basis of $592,000 at September 30, 2017. The trust preferred security represents an investment in a pool of debt obligations issued primarily by holding companies for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured financial institutions. This security is classified in the Company’s held-to-maturity investment portfolio.

The trust preferred securities market is considered to be inactive as only six transactions have occurred over the past 69 months in the same tranche of securities that we own and no new issuances of pooled trust preferred securities have occurred since 2007. We used a discounted cash flow model to determine whether this security is other-than-temporarily impaired. The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash flow model include the following: estimated discount rates, estimated deferral and default rates on collateral, and estimated cash flows.

Based on the Company’s review, the Company’s investment in PreTSL XXIII did not incur additional impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and there is no accumulated other comprehensive loss related to noncredit factors.

It is reasonably possible that the fair value of the trust preferred security could decline in the near term if the overall economy and the financial condition of some of the issuers deteriorate further and the liquidity of this security remains low. As a result, there is a risk that the Company’s remaining cost basis of $592,000 on the trust preferred security could be credit-related other-than-temporarily impaired in the near term. The impairment, if any, could be material to the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

In 2016, the Company changed the look-back period that is used to calculate the historical loss rates from five to seven years. The look-back period was extended to seven years because the longer look-back period is considered to be more representative of an entire economic cycle. The seven year look-back period includes loan charge-offs and recoveries related to the recession and the subsequent economic recovery. The change in the look-back period did not have a material effect on the allowance for loan losses.

Table of Contents

Management considers the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2017 to be at an appropriate level to provide for probable losses that can be reasonably estimated based on general and specific conditions at that date. While the Company uses the best information it has available to make evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the information used in making the evaluations. To the extent actual outcomes differ from the estimates, additional provisions for credit losses may be required that would reduce future earnings. In addition, as an integral part of their examination process, the bank regulators periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to increase the allowance based on their analysis of information available at the time of their examination.

There were no loans individually evaluated for impairment with a related allowance for loan loss as of September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. Loans individually evaluated for impairment do not have an allocated allowance for loan loss because they were written down to fair value at the time of impairment.

The Company primarily uses the aging of loans and accrual status to monitor the credit quality of its loan portfolio. When a mortgage loan becomes seriously delinquent (90 days or more contractually past due), it displays weaknesses that may result in a loss. As a loan becomes more delinquent, the likelihood of the borrower repaying the loan decreases and the loan becomes more collateral-dependent. A mortgage loan becomes collateral-dependent when the proceeds for repayment can be expected to come only from the sale or operation of the collateral and not from borrower repayments. Generally, appraisals are obtained after a loan becomes collateral-dependent or is four months delinquent. The carrying value of collateral-dependent loans is adjusted to the fair value of the collateral less selling costs. Any commercial real estate, commercial, construction or equity loan that has a loan balance in excess of a specified amount is also periodically reviewed to determine whether the loan exhibits any weaknesses and is performing in accordance with its contractual terms.

The Company had 16 nonaccrual loans with a book value of $3.3 million at September 30, 2017 and 19 nonaccrual loans with a book value of $4.6 million as of December 31, 2016. The Company collected interest on nonaccrual loans of $137,000 and $149,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, but due to regulatory requirements, the Company recorded the interest as a reduction of principal. The Company would have recognized additional interest income of $169,000 and $211,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, had the loans been accruing interest. The Company did not have any loans more than 90 days past due and still accruing interest as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

There were no loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016. There were no new troubled debt restructurings within the past 12 months that subsequently defaulted.

One of the restructured loans, for $149,000, was more than 149 days delinquent and not accruing interest as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Restructurings include deferrals of interest and/or principal payments and temporary or permanent reductions in interest rates due to the financial difficulties of the borrowers. At September 30, 2017, we had no commitments to lend any additional funds to these borrowers.

The Company had no real estate owned as of September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. There were three one- to four-family residential mortgage loans totaling $652,000 and one home equity loan for $41,000 in the process of foreclosure as of September 30, 2017, and four one- to four-family residential mortgage loans totaling $702,000 in the process of foreclosure as of December 31, 2016.

Nearly all of our real estate loans are collateralized by real estate located in the State of Hawaii. Loan-to-value ratios on these real estate loans generally do not exceed 80% at the time of origination.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company sold $20.3 million and $38.6 million, respectively, of mortgage loans held for sale and recognized gains of $154,000 and $304,000, respectively. The Company had one loan held for sale for $495,000 at September 30, 2017 and five loans held for sale totaling $1.6 million at December 31, 2016.

The Company serviced loans for others of $37.5 million at September 30, 2017 and $41.5 million at December 31, 2016. Of these amounts, $2.0 million and $2.2 million relate to securitizations for which the Company continues to hold the related mortgage-backed securities at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The amount of contractually specified servicing fees earned for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $80,000 and $99,000, respectively. The amount of contractually specified servicing fees earned for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $26,000 and $31,000, respectively. The fees are reported in service fees on loan and deposit accounts in the consolidated statements of income.

(7) Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are treated as financings and the obligations to repurchase the identical securities sold are reflected as a liability with the securities collateralizing the agreements classified as an asset. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are summarized as follows:


	September 30, 2017				December 31, 2016
			Weighted				Weighted
	Repurchase		Average		Repurchase		Average
(Dollars in thousands)	Liability		Rate		Liability		Rate
Maturing:

Over 3 years to 4 years		—	—			5,000	1.65
Total	$	55,000	1.57	%	$	55,000	1.57	%

Below is a summary comparing the carrying value and fair value of securities pledged to secure repurchase agreements, the repurchase liability, and the amount at risk at September 30, 2017. The amount at risk is the greater of the carrying value or fair value over the repurchase liability and refers to the potential loss to the Company if the secured lender fails to return the security at the maturity date of the agreement. All the agreements to repurchase are with JP Morgan Securities and the securities pledged are mortgage-backed securities issued and guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. The repurchase liability cannot exceed 90% of the fair value of securities pledged. In the event of a decline in the fair value of securities pledged to less than the required amount due to market conditions or principal repayments, the Company is obligated to pledge additional securities or other suitable collateral to cure the deficiency.

(9) Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (Pension Plan) that covers most employees with at least one year of service. Effective December 31, 2008, under approved changes to the Pension Plan, there were no further accruals of benefits for any participants and benefits will not increase with any additional years of service. Net periodic benefit cost, subsequent to December 31, 2008, has not been significant and is not disclosed in the table below.

Table of Contents

The Company also sponsors a Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (SERP), a noncontributory supplemental retirement benefit plan, which covers certain current and former employees of the Company for amounts in addition to those provided under the Pension Plan.

The components of net periodic benefit cost were as follows:

(10) Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Effective January 1, 2009, Territorial Savings Bank adopted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) for eligible employees. The ESOP borrowed $9.8 million from the Company and used those funds to acquire 978,650 shares, or 8%, of the total number of shares issued by the Company in its initial public offering. The shares were acquired at a price of $10.00 per share.

The loan is secured by the shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP over the 20-year term of the loan with funds from Territorial Savings Bank’s contributions to the ESOP and dividends payable on the shares. The interest rate on the ESOP loan is an adjustable rate equal to the prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal. The interest rate adjusts annually and will be the prime rate on the first business day of the calendar year.

Shares purchased by the ESOP are held by a trustee in an unallocated suspense account, and shares are released annually from the suspense account on a pro-rata basis as principal and interest payments are made by the ESOP to the Company. The trustee allocates the shares released among participants on the basis of each participant’s proportional share of compensation relative to all participants. As shares are committed to be released from the suspense account, Territorial Savings Bank reports compensation expense based on the average fair value of shares released with a corresponding credit to stockholders’ equity. The shares committed to be released are considered outstanding for earnings per share computations. Compensation expense recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 amounted to $298,000 and $283,000, respectively. Compensation expense recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 amounted to $923,000 and $804,000, respectively.

Shares held by the ESOP trust were as follows:


	September 30,		December 31,
	2017		2016
Allocated shares		392,351		372,997
Unearned shares		550,494		587,193
Total ESOP shares		942,845		960,190
Fair value of unearned shares, in thousands	$	17,379	$	19,283

The ESOP restoration plan is a nonqualified plan that provides supplemental benefits to certain executives who are prevented from receiving the full benefits contemplated by the ESOP’s benefit formula. The supplemental cash payments consist of payments representing shares that cannot be allocated to the participants under the ESOP due to IRS

limitations imposed on tax-qualified plans. We accrue for these benefits over the period during which employees provide services to earn these benefits. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we accrued $97,000 and $122,000, respectively, for the ESOP restoration plan. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we accrued $161,000 and $244,000, respectively, for the ESOP restoration plan.

(11) Share-Based Compensation

On August 19, 2010, Territorial Bancorp Inc. adopted the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, which provides for awards of stock options and restricted stock to key officers and outside directors. In accordance with the Compensation – Stock Compensation topic of the FASB ASC, the cost of the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan is based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock is based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The fair value of stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using assumptions for dividend yield, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and option term. These assumptions are based on our judgments regarding future events, are subjective in nature, and cannot be determined with precision. The cost of the awards will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the three, five- or six-year vesting period during which participants are required to provide services in exchange for the awards.

The Company recognized compensation expense, measured as the fair value of the share-based award on the date of grant, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Share-based compensation is recorded in the statement of income as a component of salaries and employee benefits with a corresponding increase in shareholders’ equity. The table below presents information on compensation expense and the related tax benefit for all share-based awards:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,

Income tax benefit		23		183		38		714

Shares of our common stock issued under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan shall come from authorized shares. The maximum number of shares that will be awarded under the plan will be 1,862,637 shares.

Pursuant to the provisions of our equity incentive plan, optionees are permitted to use the value of our common stock they own in a stock swap transaction or net settlement to pay the exercise price of stock options.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $4,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to the stock option plan that will be amortized over a three-year vesting period.

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock awards are accounted for as fixed grants using the fair value of the Company’s stock at the time of grant. Unvested restricted stock may not be disposed of or transferred during the vesting period. Restricted stock carries the right to receive dividends, although dividends attributable to restricted stock are retained by the Company until the shares vest, at which time they are paid to the award recipient.

The table below presents the restricted stock activity:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued 9,604 shares of restricted stock to certain members of executive management under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. The fair value of the restricted stock is based on the value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock will vest over three years from the date of grant.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $278,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued 11,525 of performance-based restricted stock units (PRSUs) to certain members of executive management under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. These PRSUs will vest in the first quarter of 2020 after our Compensation Committee determines whether a performance condition that compares the Company’s return on average equity to the SNL Bank Index is achieved. Depending on the Company’s

Table of Contents

performance, the actual number of these PRSUs that are issued at the end of the vesting period can vary between 0% to 150% of the target award. For the PRSUs, an estimate is made of the number of shares expected to vest based on the probability that the performance criteria will be achieved to determine the amount of compensation expense to be recognized. This estimate is re-evaluated quarterly and total compensation expense is adjusted for any change in the current period.

The table below presents the PRSUs that will vest on a performance condition:

The fair value of these PRSUs is based on the fair value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $215,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to these PRSUs. Performance will be measured over a three-year performance period and will be cliff vested.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued 2,881 of PRSUs to certain members of executive management under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. These PRSUs will vest in the first quarter of 2020 after our Compensation Committee determines whether a market condition that compares the Company’s total stock return to the SNL Bank Index is achieved. The number of shares that will be expensed will not be adjusted for performance. The fair value of these PRSUs is based on a Monte Carlo valuation of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The assumptions which were used in the Monte Carlo valuation of the PRSUs are:

Grant date: May 25, 2017

Performance period: January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019

2.60 year risk-free rate on grant date: 1.40%

December 31, 2016 closing price: $32.84

Closing stock price on the date of grant: $29.53

Annualized volatility (based on 2.60 year historical volatility as of the grant date): 15.7%

Annual dividend preceding the grant date: $0.80

(12) Earnings Per Share

Holders of unvested restricted stock receive nonforfeitable dividends at the same rate as common shareholders and they both share equally in undistributed earnings. Unvested restricted stock awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are considered to be participating securities in the earnings per share computation using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, earnings are allocated to common shareholders and participating securities according to their respective rights to earnings.

The table below presents the information used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share:

(14) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the FASB ASC, the Company groups its financial assets and liabilities valued at fair value into three levels based on the markets in which the financial assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value as follows:

· Level 1 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.

· Level 2 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

· Level 3 — Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect management’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of discounted cash flow models and similar techniques that require the use of significant judgment or estimation.

In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic, the Company bases its fair values on the price that it would expect to receive if an asset were sold or the price that it would expect to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Also as required, the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements.

The Company uses fair value measurements to determine fair value disclosures. Investment securities held for sale and derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. From time to time, the Company may be required to record other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, impaired loans and investments, and mortgage servicing assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of the lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable. The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Investment Securities. The estimated fair values of U.S. government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities are considered Level 2 inputs because the valuation for investment securities utilized pricing models that varied based on asset class and included trade, bid and other observable market information.

The trust preferred securities represent investments in a pool of debt obligations issued primarily by holding companies for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured financial institutions. The trust preferred securities market is considered to be inactive as only six transactions have occurred over the past 69 months in the same tranche of securities we own and no new issues of pooled trust preferred securities have occurred since 2007. The fair value of our trust preferred securities was determined using a discounted cash flow model. Our model used a discount rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 20.00%.

Table of Contents

The discounted cash flow analysis includes a review of all issuers within the pool. The fair value of the trust preferred securities are classified as Level 3 inputs because they are based on discounted cash flow models.

FHLB Stock. FHLB stock, which is redeemable for cash at par value, is reported at its par value.

FRB Stock. FRB stock, which is redeemable for cash at par value, is reported at its par value.

Loans. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows, including estimated prepayments, using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The fair value of loans is not based on the concept of exit price.

Loans Held for Sale. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined based on the prices quoted in the secondary market for similar loans.

Deposits. The fair value of checking and Super NOW savings accounts, passbook accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities.

Advances From the FHLB and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase. Fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the rates currently offered to the Company for debt with similar remaining maturities.

Interest Rate Contracts. The Company may enter into interest rate lock commitments with borrowers on loans intended to be sold. To manage interest rate risk on the lock commitments, the Company may also enter into forward loan sale commitments. The interest rate lock commitments and forward loan sale commitments are treated as derivatives and are recorded at their fair value determined by referring to prices quoted in the secondary market for similar contracts. Interest rate contracts that are classified as assets are included with prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet while interest rate contracts that are classified as liabilities are included with accounts payable and accrued expenses.

The fair value of trust preferred securities is determined using a discounted cash flow model. The assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model are discussed above. Gains and losses on trust preferred securities that are credit related are included in net other-than-temporary impairment losses in the consolidated statements of income. Gains and losses on trust preferred securities that are not credit related are included in other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Mortgage servicing assets are valued using a discounted cash flow model. Assumptions used in the model include mortgage prepayment speeds, discount rates and cost of servicing. Losses on mortgage servicing assets are included in service fees on loan and deposit accounts in the consolidated statements of income. The fair value of impaired loans is determined using the value of collateral less estimated selling costs. Gains and losses on impaired loans are included in the provision for loan losses in the consolidated statements of income. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined based on the prices quoted in the secondary market for similar loans. Losses on loans held for sale are included in gain on sale of loans in the consolidated statements of income.

general economic conditions, either internationally, nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected;

competition among depository and other financial institutions;

inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments;

adverse changes in the securities markets;

changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements;

our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;

our ability to successfully integrate acquired entities, if any;

changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;

Overview

We have historically operated as a traditional thrift institution. The significant majority of our assets consist of long-term, fixed-rate residential mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, which we have funded primarily with deposit accounts, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. As a result, we may be vulnerable to increases in interest rates, as our interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than our interest-earning assets.

We have continued our focus on originating one- to four-family residential real estate loans. Our emphasis on conservative loan underwriting has resulted in continued low levels of nonperforming assets. Our nonperforming assets, which can include nonaccrual loans and real estate owned, totaled $3.3 million, or 0.17% of total assets, at September 30, 2017, compared to $4.6 million, or 0.24% of total assets, at December 31, 2016. Our nonperforming loans and loss experience has enabled us to maintain a relatively low allowance for loan losses in relation to other peer institutions and correspondingly resulted in low levels of provisions for loan losses. Our provisions for loan losses were $2,000 and $219,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Other than our loans for the construction of one- to four-family residential homes, we do not offer “interest only” mortgage loans (where the borrower pays only interest for an initial period, after which the loan converts to a fully amortizing loan) on one- to four-family residential properties. We also do not offer loans that provide for negative amortization of principal, such as “Option ARM” loans, where the borrower can pay less than the interest owed on their loan, resulting in an increased principal balance during the life of the loan. We do not offer “subprime loans” (loans that generally target borrowers with weakened credit histories typically characterized by payment delinquencies, previous charge-offs, judgments, bankruptcies, or borrowers with questionable repayment capacity as evidenced by low credit scores or high debt-burden ratios) or Alt-A loans (traditionally defined as nonconforming loans having less than full documentation). We also do not own any private label mortgage-backed securities that are collateralized by Alt-A, low or no documentation or subprime mortgage loans.

We sold $20.3 million and $38.6 million of fixed-rate mortgage loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Long-term, fixed-rate borrowings remained constant at September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Our investments in mortgage-backed securities have been issued by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, which are U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, or Ginnie Mae, which is a U.S. government agency. These agencies guarantee the payment of principal and interest on our mortgage-backed securities. We do not own any preferred stock issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we owned $414.0 million and $406.5 million, respectively, of mortgage-backed securities issued by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016

Assets. At September 30, 2017, our assets were $1.962 billion, an increase of $84.9 million, or 4.5%, from $1.878 billion at December 31, 2016. The increase in assets was primarily the result of a $97.7 million increase in total loans receivable and a $6.9 million increase in investment securities, which was partially offset by a $22.9 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $38.4 million at September 30, 2017, a decrease of $22.9 million since December 31, 2016. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily caused by a $97.7 million increase in total loans, which was offset by a $78.2 million increase in deposits.

Loans. Total loans, including $495,000 of loans held for sale, were $1.435 billion at September 30, 2017, or 73.1% of total assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the loan portfolio, including loans held for sale, increased by $97.7 million, or 7.3%. The increase in the loan portfolio primarily occurred as the production of new one- to four-family residential loans exceeded principal repayments and loan sales.

Securities. At September 30, 2017, our securities portfolio totaled $414.6 million, or 21.1% of total assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the securities portfolio increased by $6.9 million, or 1.7%. The increase in the securities portfolio is due to purchases of new securities exceeding principal repayments and sales. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, $52.0 million and $2.9 million of securities were purchased for the held-to-maturity and available-for-sale portfolios, respectively.

At September 30, 2017, none of the underlying collateral consisted of subprime or Alt-A (traditionally defined as nonconforming loans having less than full documentation) loans.

At September 30, 2017, we owned a trust preferred security with an amortized cost of $592,000. This security represents an investment in a pool of debt obligations primarily issued by holding companies of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured financial institutions.

The trust preferred securities market is considered to be inactive as only six transactions have occurred over the past 69 months in the same tranche of securities we own and no new issuances of pooled trust preferred securities have occurred since 2007. We use a discounted cash flow model to determine whether this security is other-than-temporarily impaired. The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash flow model include the following: estimated discount rates, estimated deferral and default rates on collateral, and estimated cash flows.

Based on our review, our investment in the trust preferred security did not incur additional impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

It is reasonably possible that the fair value of the trust preferred security could decline in the near term if the overall economy and the financial condition of some of the issuers deteriorate further and the liquidity of this security remains low. As a result, there is a risk that our remaining cost basis of $592,000 on the trust preferred security could be credit-related other-than-temporarily impaired in the near term. The impairment, if any, could be material to our consolidated statements of income.

Deposits. Deposits were $1.571 billion at September 30, 2017, an increase of $78.2 million, or 5.2%, since December 31, 2016. The growth in deposits was primarily due to an increase of $63.2 million in certificates of deposit and an increase of $13.2 million in savings accounts during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in certificates of deposit is primarily due to a $34.7 million increase in public deposits and $14.6 million in new accounts at our new Keeaumoku branch, which was opened in April 2017.

Borrowings. Our borrowings consist of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and funds borrowed under securities sold under agreements to repurchase. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, total borrowings remained constant at $124.0 million. We have not required any additional borrowings to fund our operations. Instead, we have primarily funded our operations with additional deposits, proceeds from loan sales and principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities.

Table of Contents

Stockholders’ Equity. Total stockholders’ equity increased to $237.3 million at September 30, 2017 from $229.8 million at December 31, 2016. The increase in stockholders’ equity occurred as our net income for the year exceeded dividends paid to stockholders.

Average Balances and Yields

The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and rates, and certain other information at and for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect thereof was not material. All average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans were included in the computation of average balances and are included with accrual loans in the tables. However, no interest income was attributed to nonaccrual loans. The yields set forth below include the effect of net deferred costs, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

General. Net income increased by $9,000, or 0.2%, to $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in net income was due to a $212,000 decrease in income taxes and a $53,000 decrease in loan loss provisions. These were partially offset by a $116,000 increase in noninterest expense, a $94,000 decrease in noninterest income and a $46,000 decrease in net interest income.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased by $46,000, or 0.3%, to $14.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Interest income increased by $508,000, or 3.0%, due to a $96.3 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets. This was offset by an eight basis point decrease in the yield of average interest-earning assets. Interest expense increased by $554,000, or 28.2%, due to a $91.3 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and an 11 basis point increase in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. The interest rate spread and net interest margin were 3.04% and 3.12%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 3.23% and 3.30% respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decreases in the interest rate spread and in the net interest margin are attributed to an eight basis point decrease in the yield of average interest-earning assets and an 11 basis point increase in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets was primarily due to the principal repayments on higher-yielding mortgage loans and securities and the addition of new mortgage loans and securities with lower rates. The increase in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to a 46 basis point increase in the cost of certificates of deposit, primarily public deposits, as new certificates of deposit with higher interest rates were opened.

Interest Income. Interest income increased by $508,000, or 3.0%, to $17.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $16.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Interest income on loans increased by $785,000, or 6.0%, to $13.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $13.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in interest income on loans occurred primarily because the average balance of loans grew by $141.1 million, or 11.0%, as new loan originations exceeded loan repayments and loan sales. The increase in interest income that occurred because of growth in the loan portfolio was partially offset by a 19 basis point decline in the average loan yield to 3.89% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 4.08% for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decline in the average yield on loans occurred because of repayments on higher-yielding loans and additions of new loans with lower yields to the loan portfolio. Interest income on investment securities decreased by $327,000, or 9.4%, to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in interest income on securities occurred because of a $37.2 million decrease in the average securities balance and a four basis point decrease in the average securities yield. The decline in the average balance and yield on securities occurred because repayments exceeded the amount of securities purchased and new securities added to the portfolio had lower yields.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $554,000, or 28.2%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Interest expense on deposits increased by $548,000, or 36.9%, from $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in interest expense on deposits was due to an increase in the average outstanding balance and the average rate paid on deposits. The average outstanding balance of deposits increased by $90.1 million, or 6.4%, to $1.500 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $1.410 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The growth in deposits is primarily due to a $65.0 million increase in the average balance of certificates of deposit and a $25.1 million increase in the average balance of savings, money market and checking accounts. The average rate paid on deposits increased by 12 basis points from 0.42% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to 0.54% for the three months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to a 46 basis point increase in certificate of deposit rates. The increase in the average rate paid on certificates of deposit is primarily due to higher interest rates paid on newly opened public deposits. Because our public deposits carry higher rates than retail deposits, any increase in current interest rates or in the balance of public deposits may continue to increase our interest expense.

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded provisions for loan losses of $54,000 and $107,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. The provisions for loan losses included net charge-offs of $12,000 and $21,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in loan loss provisions in the three months ended September 30, 2017 occurred as a result of improving credit quality of the

Table of Contents

loan portfolio and a reduction in loan losses. The provisions recorded resulted in ratios of the allowance for loan losses to total loans of 0.17% and 0.18% at September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Nonaccrual loans totaled $3.3 million at September 30, 2017, or 0.23% of total loans at that date, compared to $4.8 million of nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2016, or 0.37% of total loans at that date. Nonaccrual loans as of September 30, 2017 and 2016 consisted primarily of one- to four-family residential real estate loans. To the best of our knowledge, we have provided for all losses that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at September 30, 2017 and 2016. For additional information see note (6), “Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Noninterest Income. The following table summarizes changes in noninterest income between the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.


	Three Months Ended
	September 30,				Change
	2017		2016		$ Change		% Change

Service fees on loan and deposit accounts	$	427	$	493	$	(66)	(13.4)	%
Income on bank-owned life insurance		228		240		(12)	(5.0)	%

Other		76		96		(20)	(20.8)	%
Total	$	909	$	1,003	$	(94)	(9.4)	%

Noninterest income decreased by $94,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, $3.7 million and $14.5 million, respectively, of mortgage loans held for sale were sold and gains of $28,000 and $114,000, respectively, were recognized. The decrease in service fees on loan and deposit accounts was primarily due to a decrease in fee income from brokering loans to other financial institutions. The decrease in other income was primarily due to a decrease in commissions earned on annuity and mutual fund sales. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the gain on sale of investment securities. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we received proceeds of $2.4 million and $801,000, respectively, from the sale of $2.2 million and $741,000, respectively, of held-to maturity mortgage-backed securities, resulting in gross realized gains of $150,000 and $60,000, respectively. The sale of these mortgage-backed securities, for which we had already collected a substantial portion of the original purchased principal (at least 85%), was in accordance with the Investments — Debt and Equity Securities topic of the FASB ASC and does not taint management’s assertion of intent to hold remaining securities in the held-to-maturity portfolio to maturity.

Noninterest expense increased by $116,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. Occupancy expense increased by $97,000 to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 20, 2017 from $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to an increase in repairs and maintenance and rent expense. The increase in other general and administrative expenses was mainly due to increases in marketing and other miscellaneous expenses. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in salaries

and employee benefits expense. Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation. The reduction in the cost of share-based compensation plans occurred as the majority of awards under our 2010 equity incentive plan became fully vested in 2016. The decrease in share-based compensation expense was partially offset by an annual salary increase and a decrease in the capitalized cost of new loan originations. The decrease in the capitalized cost of new loan originations in 2017 occurred as we closed fewer loans during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Income Tax Expense. Income taxes were $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, reflecting an effective tax rate of 38.2%, compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, reflecting an effective tax rate of 40.1%.

Income tax expense for the three months ending September 30, 2017 included a $150,000 tax benefit related to the exercise of stock options. Starting in 2017 a new accounting standard requires that any excess tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options be recognized in income tax expense. Prior to the adoption of the new standard, the excess tax benefits were recorded as additional paid-in-capital. The amount of tax benefits or deficiencies recognized in income tax expense depends on the number of options exercised and the difference in the stock prices at the exercise and grant dates.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

General. Net income increased by $810,000, or 6.8%, from $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $12.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in net income was due to a $470,000 decrease in noninterest expense, a $217,000 decrease in loan loss provisions, a $114,000 decrease in income taxes and a $42,000 increase in net interest income. These were partially offset by a $33,000 decrease in noninterest income.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $42,000, or 0.1%, to $43.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Interest income increased by $1.1 million, or 2.3%, due to a $69.7 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets. This was offset by a six basis point decrease in the yield of average interest-earning assets. Interest expense increased by $1.1 million, or 19.0%, due to a $60.8 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and a seven basis point increase in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. The interest rate spread and net interest margin were 3.09% and 3.16% respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 3.22% and 3.28% respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decreases in the interest rate spread and in the net interest margin are attributed to a six basis point decrease in the yield of average interest-earning assets and a seven basis point increase in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in the yield of average interest-earning assets was primarily due to the principal repayments on higher-yielding mortgage loans and securities and the addition of new mortgage loans and securities with lower rates. The increase in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to a 40 basis point increase in the cost of certificates of deposit, primarily public deposits, as new certificates of deposit with higher interest rates were opened.

Interest Income. Interest income increased by $1.1 million, or 2.3%, to $50.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $49.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Interest income on loans increased by $2.8 million, or 7.4%, to $40.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $38.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in interest income on loans occurred primarily because the average balance of loans grew by $145.4 million, or 11.7%, as new loan originations exceeded loan repayments and loan sales. The increase in interest income that occurred because of growth in the loan portfolio was partially offset by a 15 basis point decline in the average loan yield to 3.93% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 4.08% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decline in the average yield on loans occurred because of repayments on higher-yielding loans and additions of new loans with lower yields to the loan portfolio. Interest income on investment securities decreased by $1.8 million, or 16.1%, to $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in interest income on securities occurred because of a $66.2 million decrease in the average securities balance and a seven basis point decrease in the average

Table of Contents

securities yield. The decline in the average balance and yield on securities occurred because repayments exceeded the amount of securities purchased and new securities added to the portfolio had lower yields.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $1.1 million, or 19.0%, to $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Interest expense on deposits increased by $1.1 million, or 25.1%, from $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in interest expense on deposits was due to an increase in the average outstanding balance and the average rate paid on deposits. The average outstanding balance of deposits increased by $59.9 million, or 4.2%, to $1.474 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $1.414 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The growth in deposits is primarily due to a $31.9 million increase in the average balance of certificates of deposit and a $28.1 million increase in the average balance of savings, money market and checking accounts. The average rate paid on deposits increased by eight basis points from 0.41% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to 0.49% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to a 40 basis point increase in certificate of deposit rates. The increase in the average rate paid on certificates of deposit is primarily due to higher interest rates paid on public deposits. Because our public deposits carry higher rates than retail deposits, any increase in current interest rates or in the balance of public deposits may continue to increase our interest expense.

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded provisions for loan losses of $2,000 and $219,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The provision for loan losses included net recoveries of $45,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and net charge-offs of $23,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in loan loss provisions in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 occurred as a result of improving credit quality of the loan portfolio and a reduction in loan losses. The provisions recorded resulted in ratios of the allowance for loan losses to total loans of 0.17% and 0.18% at September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Nonaccrual loans totaled $3.3 million at September 30, 2017, or 0.23% of total loans at that date, compared to $4.8 million of nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2016, or 0.37% of total loans at that date. Nonaccrual loans as of September 30, 2017 and 2016 consisted primarily of one- to four-family residential real estate loans. To the best of our knowledge, we have provided for all losses that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at September 30, 2017 and 2016. For additional information see note (6), “Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses” in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Noninterest Income. The following table summarizes changes in noninterest income between the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Noninterest income decreased by $33,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company sold $20.3 million and $38.6 million, respectively, of mortgage loans held for sale and recognized gains of $154,000 and $304,000, respectively. Other income decreased by $86,000 primarily due to a decrease in commissions earned on annuity and mututal fund sales. These decreases were partially offset by increases in the gain on sale of investment securities and in service fees on loan and deposit accounts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we received proceeds of $7.4 million and $3.9 million, respectively, from the sale of $7.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities, resulting in gross realized gains of $431,000 and $250,000, respectively. The sale of these mortgage-backed securities, for which we had already collected a substantial portion of

Table of Contents

the original purchased principal (at least 85%), was in accordance with the Investments — Debt and Equity Securities topic of the FASB ASC and does not taint management’s assertion of intent to hold remaining securities in the held-to-maturity portfolio to maturity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, service fees on loan and deposit accounts increased by $68,000, primarily due to incentives received on a new debit card agreement and a decrease in the amortization of premiums on loans sold. These were partially offset by decreases in return item fees and ATM fees.

Noninterest Expense. The following table summarizes changes in noninterest expense between the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.


	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				Change
	2017		2016		$ Change		% Change
				(Dollars in thousands)
Salaries and employee benefits	$	15,254	$	15,947	$	(693)	(4.3)	%
Occupancy		4,439		4,285		154	3.6	%

Total	$	26,222	$	26,692	$	(470)	(1.8)	%

Noninterest expense decreased by $470,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased by $693,000 primarily due to a decrease in share-based compensation. The reduction in the cost of share-based compensation plans occurred as the majority of awards under our 2010 equity incentive plan became fully vested in 2016. The decrease in share-based compensation expense was partially offset by an annual salary increase, an increase in ESOP plan expenses that occurred because of the Company’s higher stock price and a decrease in the capitalized cost of new loan originations. The decrease in the capitalized cost of new loan originations in 2017 occurred as we closed fewer loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Federal deposit insurance premiums declined because of a decrease in the insurance premium rate on deposits. These decreases were partially offset by increases in other general and administrative and occupancy expenses. The increase in other general and administrative expenses was mainly due to increases in marketing, audit, and other miscellaneous expenses. The increase in occupancy expense was due to an increase in rent expense and repairs and maintenance expenses.

Income Tax Expense. Income taxes were $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, reflecting an effective tax rate of 37.9%, compared to $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, reflecting an effective tax rate of 39.8%.

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 included a $541,000 tax benefit related to the exercise of stock options. Starting in 2017 a new accounting standard requires that any excess tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options be recognized in income tax expense. Prior to the adoption of the new standard, the excess tax benefits were recorded as additional paid-in-capital. The amount of tax benefits or deficiencies recognized in income tax expense depends on the number of options exercised and the difference in the stock prices at the exercise and grant dates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank, loan repayments, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, proceeds from loan sales and principal repayments on securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We have established an Asset/Liability Management Committee, consisting of our President and Chief Executive Officer, our

Table of Contents

Vice Chairman and Co-Chief Operating Officer, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and our Vice President and Controller, which is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. We believe that we have enough sources of liquidity to satisfy our short- and long-term liquidity needs as of September 30, 2017.

We regularly monitor and adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of:

(i)

expected loan demand;

(ii)

purchases and sales of investment securities;

(iii)

expected deposit flows and borrowing maturities;

(iv)

yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities; and

(v)

the objectives of our asset/liability management program.

Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits or securities and may also be used to pay off short-term borrowings.

Our most liquid asset is cash. The amount of this asset is dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $38.4 million. On that date, we had $55.0 million in securities sold under agreements to repurchase outstanding and $69.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding, with the ability to borrow an additional $604.3 million under Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Our cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

At September 30, 2017, we had $30.8 million in loan commitments outstanding, most of which were for fixed-rate loans, and had $26.6 million in unused lines of credit to borrowers. Certificates of deposit due within one year at September 30, 2017 totaled $149.8 million, or 9.5% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we may be required to seek other sources of funds, including loan sales, brokered deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before September 30, 2018. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

Our primary investing activities are originating loans and purchasing mortgage-backed securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 we originated $242.7 million and $280.7 million of loans, respectively and purchased $54.9 million and $2.4 million of securities, respectively.

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, stock repurchases and dividend payments. We experienced net increases in deposits of $78.2 million and $19.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors, and by other factors.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank, which provide an additional source of funds. Federal Home Loan Bank advances remained constant at $69.0 million at September 30, 2017 and 2016. We had the ability to borrow up to an additional $604.3 million and $577.9 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. We also utilize securities

sold under agreements to repurchase as another borrowing source. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase remained constant at $55.0 million at the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Territorial Bancorp Inc. is a separate legal entity from Territorial Savings Bank and must provide for its own liquidity to pay dividends, repurchase shares of its common stock and for other corporate purposes. Territorial Bancorp Inc.’s primary source of liquidity is dividend payments from Territorial Savings Bank. The ability of Territorial Savings Bank to pay dividends to Territorial Bancorp Inc. is subject to regulatory requirements. At September 30, 2017, Territorial Bancorp Inc. (on an unconsolidated, stand-alone basis) had liquid assets of $24.4 million.

Territorial Savings Bank and the Company are subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. Effective January 1, 2015, the well capitalized threshold for Tier 1 risk-based capital was increased from 6.0% to 8.0% and a new capital standard, common equity tier 1 risk-based capital, was implemented with a 6.5% ratio requirement for a financial institution to be considered well capitalized. Additionally, effective January 1, 2015, consolidated regulatory capital requirements identical to those applicable to the subsidiary depository institutions became applicable to savings and loan holding companies over $1.0 billion in assets, such as the Company. The capital requirements become fully-phased in on January 1, 2019. At September 30, 2017, Territorial Savings Bank and the Company exceeded all of the fully-phased in regulatory capital requirements and are considered to be “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. The tables below present the fully-phased in capital required to be considered “well-capitalized” as a percentage of total and risk-weighted assets and the percentage and the total amount of capital maintained for Territorial Savings Bank and the Company at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

On July 10, 2014, Territorial Savings Bank became a member of the Federal Reserve System. As a condition of membership, Territorial Savings Bank was required to maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio of 9.00% for three years.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

Commitments. As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our potential future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make. In addition, we enter into commitments to sell mortgage loans.

Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities and agreements with respect to investments. Except for an increase of $63.0 million in certificates of deposit and a decrease of $19.7 million in loan commitments between December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2017, there have not been any material changes in contractual obligations and funding needs since December 31, 2016.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

General. Our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk because, as a financial institution, the majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a principal part of our operations is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Our Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee, which is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors.

Because we have historically operated as a traditional thrift institution, the significant majority of our assets consist of long-term, fixed-rate residential mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, which we have funded primarily with deposit accounts, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. In addition, there is little demand for adjustable-rate mortgage loans in the Hawaii market area. This has resulted in our being particularly vulnerable to increases in interest rates, as our interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than our interest-earning assets. We sold $20.3 million and $38.6 million of fixed-rate mortgage loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, to reduce our interest rate risk.

Our policies do not permit hedging activities, such as engaging in futures, options or swap transactions, or investing in high-risk mortgage derivatives, such as collateralized mortgage obligation residual interests, real estate mortgage investment conduit residual interests or stripped mortgage-backed securities.

Economic Value of Equity. We use an interest rate sensitivity analysis that computes changes in the economic value of equity (EVE) of our cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. EVE represents the market value of portfolio equity and is equal to the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities, with adjustments made for off-balance sheet items. This analysis assesses the risk of loss in market-risk-sensitive instruments in the event of an instantaneous and sustained 100 to 400 basis point increase or a 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates with no effect given to any steps that we might take to counter the effect of that interest rate movement. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100 basis point increase in the “Change in Interest Rates” column below. Given the current relatively low level of market interest rates, an EVE calculation for an interest rate decrease of greater than 100 basis points has not been prepared.

Table of Contents

The following table presents our internal calculations of the estimated changes in our EVE as of June 30, 2017 (the latest date for which we have available information) that would result from the designated instantaneous changes in the interest rate yield curve.

EVE is the difference between the present value of an institution’s assets and liabilities.

(3)

Present value of assets represents the discounted present value of incoming cash flows on interest-earning assets.

(4)

EVE Ratio represents EVE divided by the present value of assets.

Interest rates on Freddie Mac mortgage-backed securities have declined by eight basis points between June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017. The decrease in interest rates has not likely had a material effect on estimated EVE.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in determining interest rate risk through changes in EVE. Modeling changes in EVE requires making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the EVE table presented assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the EVE table provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our EVE and net interest income and will differ from actual results.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2017. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

The Company has determined that the new amendment on revenue recognition will not have a significant impact on key in-scope revenue sources. The Company will be adopting new controls and procedures, which would identify any changes in volume or new sources of in-scope revenue.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal actions that are considered ordinary, routine litigation incidental to the business of the Company, and no claim for money damages exceeds ten percent of the Company’s consolidated assets.
