NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 AND 2013
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations. Washington Federal is a Washington corporation headquartered in Seattle, Washington. The Company is a bank holding company that conducts its operations through a federally-insured national bank subsidiary. The Bank is principally engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and investing these funds, together with borrowings and other funds, in one-to-four family residential real estate loans, multi-family real estate loans and commercial loans. As used throughout this document, the terms "Washington Federal" or the "Company" refer to Washington Federal, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and the term "Bank" refers to the operating subsidiary Washington Federal, National Association.
Use of Estimates. The consolidated unaudited interim financial statements included in this report have been prepared by Washington Federal. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The significant accounting policies used in preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements are disclosed in its 2013 Form 10-K. Other than as discussed below, there have not been any additions or material changes in its significant accounting policies compared to those contained in its 2013 Form 10-K.
Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Exposures – The only material off-balance-sheet credit exposures are loans in process and unused lines of credit, which had a combined balance at June 30, 2014, excluding covered loans, of $528 million. The Company estimates losses on off-balance-sheet credit exposures by including the exposures with the related principal balance outstanding and then applying its general reserve methodology.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation are reflected in the interim financial statements. The September 30, 2013 Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition was derived from audited financial statements. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2013 Form 10-K”) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
NOTE B - Acquisitions
Certain Branches of Bank of America, National Association
During this fiscal year, the Bank has acquired seventy-four branches from Bank of America, National Association. Effective as of the close of business on October 31, 2013, the Bank completed the acquisition of eleven branches that are located in New Mexico. Effective as of the close of business on December 6, 2013, the Bank completed the acquisition of another forty branches that are located in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Effective as of the close of business on May 2, 2014, the Bank completed the acquisition of another twenty-three branches that are located in Arizona and Nevada.
Management believes that these transactions represent a significant enhancement of our branch network. This transaction will bring new customers to the Company and improve the deposit mix and reduce overall funding costs.
The combined acquisitions provided $1.9 billion in deposit accounts, $13 million of loans, and $25 million in branch properties. The Bank paid a 1.99% premium on the total deposits and received $1.8 billion in cash from the transactions.
The acquisition method of accounting was used to account for the acquisitions. The purchased assets and assumed liabilities are recorded at their respective acquisition date estimated fair values. The Bank recorded $11 million in core deposit intangible and $31 million in goodwill related to these transactions.
The operating results of the Company include the operating results produced by the first eleven branches for the period from November 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014, for the additional forty branches from December 7, 2013 to June 30, 2014, and for the most recent twenty-three branches from May 3, 2014 to June 30, 2014.
The table below displays the adjusted fair value as of the acquisition date for each major class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

Most loans restructured in troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") are accruing and performing loans where the borrower has proactively approached the Company about modification due to temporary financial difficulties. Each request is individually evaluated for merit and likelihood of success. The concession for these loans is typically a payment reduction through a rate reduction of between 100 to 200 basis points for a specific term, usually six to twenty-four months. Interest-only payments may also be approved during the modification period. As of June 30, 2014, single-family residential loans comprised 86.1% of TDRs.
The Company reserves for restructured loans within its allowance for loan loss methodology by taking into account the following performance indicators: 1) time since modification, 2) current payment status and 3) geographic area.

NOTE E – Allowance for Losses on Loans
The Company has an asset quality review function that analyzes its loan portfolios and reports the results of the review to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. The single-family residential, HELOC and consumer portfolios are evaluated based on their performance as a pool of loans, since no single loan is individually significant or judged by its risk rating, size or potential risk of loss. The construction, land, multi-family, commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans are risk rated on a loan by loan basis to determine the relative risk inherent in specific borrowers or loans. Based on that risk rating, the loans are assigned a grade and classified as follows:

• | Pass – the credit does not meet one of the definitions below.

• | Special mention – A special mention credit is considered to be currently protected from loss but is potentially weak. No loss of principal or interest is foreseen; however, proper supervision and Management attention is required to deter further deterioration in the credit. Assets in this category constitute some undue and unwarranted credit risk but not to the point of justifying a risk rating of substandard. The credit risk may be relatively minor yet constitutes an unwarranted risk in light of the circumstances surrounding a specific asset.

• | Substandard – A substandard credit is an unacceptable credit. Additionally, repayment in the normal course is in jeopardy due to the existence of one or more well defined weaknesses. In these situations, loss of principal is likely if the weakness is not corrected. A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified will have a well defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets risk rated substandard.

• | Doubtful – A credit classified doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weakness makes collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. The probability of loss is high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the asset, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral, and refinancing plans.

• | Loss – Credits classified loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. Losses should be taken in the period in which they are identified as uncollectible. Partial charge-off versus full charge-off may be taken if the collateral offers some identifiable protection.

The Company recorded a $3,000,000 reversal of the provision for loan losses during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, while $0 provision was recorded for the same quarter one year ago. The primary reason for the current period recovery is the credit quality of the portfolio has been improving significantly and economic conditions are more favorable.
Non-performing assets (“NPAs”) amounted to $162,357,000, or 1.10%, of total assets at June 30, 2014, compared to $213,616,000, or 1.63%, of total assets as of September 30, 2013. Acquired loans, including covered loans, are not initially classified as non-performing loans because, at acquisition, the carrying value of these loans is adjusted to reflect fair value. Non-accrual loans decreased from $131,299,000 at September 30, 2013, to $94,226,000 at June 30, 2014, a 28.2% decrease.
The Company had net recoveries of $2,219,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared with $4,780,000 of net charge-offs for the same quarter one year ago. A loan is charged-off when the loss is estimable and it is confirmed that the borrower will not be able to meet its contractual obligations.
For the period ending June 30, 2014, $114,090,000 of the allowance was calculated under the Company's general allowance methodology and the remaining $60,000 was made up of specific reserves on loans that were deemed to be impaired. For the period ending September 30, 2013, these amounts were $113,268,000 and $3,473,000, respectively. The shift in total allowance allocation from specific reserves to general reserves is due to the Company having already addressed many of the problem loans

Under this new accounting guidance, repurchase-to-maturity transactions will be accounted for as secured borrowings rather than sales of an asset, and transfers of financial assets with contemporaneous repurchase financings will no longer be evaluated to determine whether they should be accounted for on a combined basis as forward contracts. The new guidance also prescribes additional disclosures particularly on the nature of collateral pledged in repurchase financings accounted for as secured borrowings. The new guidance is effective beginning on January 1, 2015. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operation.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This new accounting guidance clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The new accounting guidance, which does not apply to financial instruments, is effective on a retrospective basis beginning on January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the new guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operation.
In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-01, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. This new guidance permits reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). Those not electing the proportional amortization method would account for the investment using the equity method or cost method. This new guidance is effective on a retrospective basis beginning after December 15, 2014 with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this ASU prospectively as of December 31, 2013 as the retrospective adjustments were not material. The amount of affordable housing tax credits that are expected to be recognized during the 2014 fiscal year is $3 million. The net investment balance recognized as of June 30, 2014 is $38 million. Using the proportional amortization method, the amount recognized as a component of income tax expense for the 2014 fiscal year is $4 million. Contingent commitments for equity contributions during the 2014 calendar year are $31 million. Overall, this adoption does not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) - Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The new guidance clarifies that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either: (a) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure; or (b) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additional disclosures are required. The amendments are effective beginning after December 15, 2014. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, A Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. Some entities present unrecognized tax benefits as a liability unless the unrecognized tax benefit is directly associated with a tax position taken in a tax year that results in, or that resulted in, the recognition of a net operating loss or tax credit carryforward for that year and the net operating loss or tax credit carryforward has not been utilized. Other entities present unrecognized tax benefits as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss or tax credit carryforward in certain circumstances. The objective of the new guidance is to eliminate this diversity in practice. The new guidance is effective beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. This new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE G – Fair Value Measurements
U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. U.S. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active exchange markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
We have established and documented the Company's process for determining the fair values of the Company's assets and liabilities, where applicable. Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available, for identical or similar assets or liabilities. In the absence of quoted market prices, fair value is determined using valuation models or third-party appraisals. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used to measure and report the fair value of financial assets and liabilities on a recurring or nonrecurring basis:
Measured on a Recurring Basis
Securities
Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Most securities at fair value are priced using model pricing based on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted prices as provided by an independent third party, and under the provisions of the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are considered a Level 2 input method. Securities that are traded on active exchanges are considered a Level 1 input method.
The following tables present the balance of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013:

Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis
Impaired Loans & Real Estate Held for Sale
From time to time, and on a nonrecurring basis, fair value adjustments to collateral-dependent loans and real estate held for sale are recorded to reflect write-downs of principal balances based on the current appraised or estimated value of the collateral. When management determines that the fair value of the collateral or the real estate held for sale requires additional adjustments, either as a result of a non-current appraisal value or when there is no observable market price, the Company classifies the impaired loan or real estate held for sale as Level 3. Level 3 assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at June 30, 2014 included loans for which a specific reserve allowance was established or a partial charge-off was recorded based on the fair value of collateral, as well as covered REO and real estate held for sale for which fair value of the properties was less than the cost basis.
Real estate held for sale consists principally of properties acquired through foreclosure.
The following tables present the aggregated balance of assets that were measured at estimated fair value on a nonrecurring basis through the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, and the total losses (gains) resulting from those fair value adjustments for the quarters and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013. These estimated fair values are shown gross of estimated selling costs.

(1) | The losses represents remeasurements of collateral-dependent loans.

(2) | The losses represents aggregate writedowns and charge-offs on real estate held for sale.

There were no liabilities carried at fair value, measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis, at June 30, 2014 or June 30, 2013.
The following describes the process used to value Level 3 assets measured on a nonrecurring basis:
Impaired loans - The Company adjusts the carrying amount of impaired loans when there is evidence of probable loss and the expected fair value of the loan is less than its contractual amount. The amount of the impairment may be determined based on the estimated present value of future cash flows or the fair value of the underlying collateral. Impaired loans with a specific reserve allowance based on cash flow analysis or the value of the underlying collateral are classified as Level 3 assets.
The evaluations for impairment are prepared by the Problem Loan Review Committee, which is chaired by the Chief Credit Officer and includes the Loan Review manager and Special Credits manager, as well as senior credit officers, division managers and group executives, as applicable. These evaluations are performed in conjunction with the quarterly allowance for probable loan & lease losses process.
Applicable loans are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis. Loans included in the previous quarter's review are reevaluated and if their values are materially different from the prior quarter evaluation, the underlying information (loan balance and collateral value) are compared. Material differences are evaluated for reasonableness and discussions are held between the relationship manager and their division manager to understand the difference and determine if any adjustment is necessary. The inputs are developed and substantiated on a quarterly basis, based on current borrower developments, market conditions and collateral values. The following method is used to value impaired loans:

• | The fair value of the collateral, which may take the form of real estate or personal property, is based on internal estimates, field observations, assessments provided by third-party appraisers and other valuation models. The Company performs or reaffirms valuations of collateral-dependent impaired loans at least annually. Adjustments are made if management believes that more recent information is available and relevant with respect to the fair value of the collateral.

Real estate held for sale ("REO") - These assets are valued based on inputs such as appraisals and third-party price opinions, less estimated selling costs. Assets that are acquired through foreclosure are recorded initially at the lower of the loan balance or fair value at the date of foreclosure. After foreclosure, valuations are updated periodically, and current market conditions may require the assets to be written down further to a new cost basis. The following method is used to value real estate held for sale:

• | When a loan is reclassified from loan status to real estate held for sale due to the Company taking possession of the collateral, a Special Credits officer, along with the Special Credits manager, obtains a valuation, which may include a third-party appraisal, which is used to establish the fair value of the underlying collateral. The determined fair value net of selling costs, to the extent it does not exceed the carrying value of the loan, becomes the carrying value of the REO asset. In addition to the valuations from independent third-party sources, the carrying balance of REO assets are written down once a bona fide offer is contractually accepted, through execution of a Purchase and Sale Agreement, where the accepted price is lower than the current balance of the particular REO asset. The fair value of REO assets is re-evaluated quarterly and the REO asset is adjusted to reflect the lower of cost or fair value as necessary.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments
U. S. GAAP requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the statement of financial condition, for which it is practicable to estimate those values. Certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are excluded from the disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value estimates presented do not reflect the underlying fair value of the Company. Although management is not aware of any factors that would materially affect the estimated fair value amounts presented below, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since the dates shown, and therefore, estimates of fair value subsequent to those dates may differ significantly from the amounts presented below.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents – The carrying amount of these items is a reasonable estimate of their fair value.
Available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities – Securities at fair value are primarily priced using model pricing based on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted prices as provided by an independent third party, and under the provisions of the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are considered a Level 2 input method. Equity securities which are exchange traded are considered a Level 1 input method.
Loans receivable and covered loans – For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as fixed- and variable-rate residential mortgages, fair value is estimated for securities backed by similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics, using the same methodology described above for AFS and HTM securities. The fair value of other loan types is estimated by discounting the future cash flows and estimated prepayments using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining term. Some loan types were valued at carrying value because of their floating rate or expected maturity characteristics. Net deferred loan fees are not included in the fair value calculation but are included in the carrying amount.

(UNAUDITED)
FDIC indemnification asset – The fair value of the indemnification asset is estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using the current rates.
FHLB and FRB stock – The fair value is based upon the par value of the stock which equates to its carrying value.
Customer accounts – The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and money market accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities.
FHLB advances and other borrowings – The fair value of FHLB advances and other borrowings is estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar remaining maturities.

NOTE H – Covered Assets
Covered assets represent loans and real estate held for sale acquired from the FDIC that are subject to loss sharing agreements and were $233,546,000 as of June 30, 2014 compared to $326,927,000 as of September 30, 2013.
Changes in the net carrying amount and accretable yield for acquired impaired and non-impaired covered loans for the year to date period ended June 30, 2014 and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 were as follows:

(2) reclassification due to improvements/impairments in expected cash flows of the underlying pools.

At June 30, 2014, none of the acquired impaired or non-impaired covered loans were classified as non-performing assets. Therefore, interest income, through accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of the loans and the expected cash flows, was recognized on all acquired loans. The allowance for credit losses related to the acquired loans results from decreased expectations of future cash flows due to increased credit losses for certain acquired loan pools.
The outstanding principal balance of acquired covered loans was $251,520,000 and $362,248,000 as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. The discount balance related to the acquired covered loans was $42,244,000 and $66,301,000 as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

NOTE I – Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Bank periodically enters into certain commercial loan interest rate swap agreements in order to provide commercial loan customers the ability to convert from variable to fixed interest rate payments, while the Bank retains a variable rate loan. Under these agreements, the Bank enters into a variable rate loan agreement and a swap agreement with the client. The swap agreement effectively converts the client’s variable rate loan into a fixed rate. The Bank enters into a corresponding swap agreement with a third party in order to offset its exposure on the variable and fixed components of the client's swap agreement. The interest rate swap agreements with the clients and third parties are not designated as hedges under ASC 815, the Derivatives and Hedging topic; the instruments are marked to market in earnings.
The notional amount of open interest rate swap agreements at June 30, 2014 was $256,007,000 compared to $83,594,000 as of September 30, 2013. There was no impact to the statement of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 as the asset and liability side of the swaps offset each other. The fee income related to swaps was $838,005 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014.
The Bank periodically enters into forward contracts to purchase mortgage-backed securities as part of its interest rate risk management program. The notional amount of commitments to purchase mortgage-backed securities at June 30, 2014 was $50,000,000 and at September 30, 2013 was $200,000,000. When there is a balance, the fair value of these contracts is included with the available-for-sale securities on the statement of financial condition.
The following table presents the fair value and balance sheet classification of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments at June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013:

GENERAL
Washington Federal is a Washington corporation headquartered in Seattle, Washington. The Company is a bank holding company that conducts its operations through the Bank, a federally-insured national bank subsidiary.
On July 17, 2013, the Bank converted from a federal savings association to a national bank charter with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and is now a national bank. At the same time, the Company which had previously been a savings and loan holding company, became a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act.
The Company's fiscal year end is September 30th. All references to 2013 and 2012 represent balances as of September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively, or activity for the fiscal years then ended.
The results discussed below were impacted by the acquisition on close of business October 31, 2013 of eleven branches from Bank of America, National Association; these branches are located in New Mexico. Effective as of the close of business on December 6, 2013, the Bank completed the acquisition of another forty branches from Bank of America, National Association; these branches are located in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Effective as of the close of business on May 2, 2014, the Bank completed the acquisition of an additional twenty-three branches from Bank of America, National Association; these branches are located in Arizona and Nevada. The combined acquisitions provided $1.9 billion in deposit accounts, $13 million of loans, and $28 million in branch properties. Washington Federal paid a 1.99% premium on the total deposits and received $1.8 billion in cash from the transactions.
The operating results of the Company include the operating results produced by the first eleven branches for the period from November 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014, the additional forty branches from December 7, 2013 to June 30, 2014 and the twenty-three branches from May 3, 2014 to June 30, 2014.
INTEREST RATE RISK
Based on Management's assessment of the current interest rate environment, the Bank has taken steps to reduce its interest rate risk profile compared to its historical norms, including growing shorter-term business loans, transaction deposit accounts and extending the maturity on borrowings. The recent branch acquisitions have accelerated these efforts. The mix of transaction accounts is now approximately 50% of total deposits. The Bank has also been purchasing more variable rate investments. The composition of the investment portfolio is now 45% variable and 55% fixed rate. In addition, $1.6 billion of its purchased 30-year fixed rate mortgage-backed securities have been designated as held-to-maturity. With rising interest rates, these securities may be subject to unrealized losses. As of June 30, 2014, the unrealized net losses on these securities were $50 million.
The Company relies on various measures of interest rate risk, including an asset/liability maturity gap analysis, modeling of changes in forecasted net interest income under various rate change scenarios, and the impact of interest rate changes on the net portfolio value (“NPV”) of the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Maturity Gap Analysis. At June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $1.6 billion more in liabilities subject to repricing in the next year than assets, which resulted in a negative one-year maturity gap of 10.6% of total assets. There were $1.7 billion more in liabilities subject to repricing as of September 30, 2013, resulting in a 12.9% negative gap. The percentage decrease in the negative gap is primarily due to an increase in total assets. Additionally, the estimated maturities of mortgage securities and loans has extended as prepayments have slowed. A negative maturity gap implies that funding costs will change more rapidly than interest income on earning assets with movements in interest rates. Typically, a negative maturity gap results in lower margins when interest rates rise and higher margins when interest rates decline. Gap analysis provides management with a high-level indication of interest rate risk, but it is considered less reliable than more detailed modeling.
Net Interest Income Sensitivity. The potential impact of rising interest rates on future net interest income is estimated using a model that is based on account level detail for loans and deposits. In the event of an immediate and parallel increase of 200 basis points in both short and long-term interest rates, the model estimates that net interest income will decrease by 0.5% in the next year. This compares to an estimated decrease of 1.6% as of the September 30, 2013 analysis. This analysis assumes zero balance sheet growth and a constant percentage composition of assets and liabilities for consistency. Actual results will differ from the assumptions used in this model, as Management monitors and adjusts loan and deposit pricing and the size and composition of the balance sheet to respond to changing interest rates.
NPV Sensitivity. The NPV estimates the market value of shareholder's equity based upon forecasted interest rate scenarios. It is derived by calculating the difference between the present value of expected cash flows from interest-earning assets and the present value of expected cash flows from interest-paying liabilities and off-balance-sheet contracts. The sensitivity of the NPV to changes in interest rates provides a longer term view of interest rate risk as it incorporates all future expected cash flows. In the event of an immediate and parallel increase of 200 basis points in interest rates, the NPV is estimated to decline by $493 million and the NPV to total assets ratio to decline to 16.32% from a base of 18.51%. As of September 30, 2013, the estimated decrease in NPV in this event was $314 million and the NPV to total assets ratio was estimated to decline to 17.42% from a base of 18.74%. The increased NPV sensitivity and lower base NPV ratio as of June 30, 2014 is due to the impact of the branch acquisitions, including the characteristics of the acquired deposits and the deployment of cash into securities.
Interest Rate Spread. The interest rate spread decreased to 2.65% at June 30, 2014 from 2.73% at September 30, 2013. The spread decreased due to a decline in the average rate on loans and investment securities. As of June 30, 2014, the weighted average rate on customer deposit accounts and borrowings decreased by 21 basis points compared to September 30, 2013, while the weighted average rates on earning assets decreased by 29 basis points over the same period.
Net Interest Margin. The net interest margin decreased to 3.05% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from 3.15% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The yield on earning assets declined 28 basis points to 3.99% and the cost of interest bearing liabilities declined 21 basis points to 1.02%. The greater decline in the yield on earning assets was due to lower loan yields on new originations compared to prepaying and maturing loans. In addition, there is a greater portion of floating rate loans and securities than in the prior year.
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had increased total assets by $1,707,096,000 from $13,082,859,000 at September 30, 2013 due to the branch acquisitions during the fiscal year that brought $1,853,798,000 in deposits. For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to September 30, 2013, loans (both non-covered and covered) increased $349,184,000, or 4.5%. Investment securities increased $671,260,000, or 16.7%. Cash and cash equivalents of $861,304,000 and stockholders’ equity of $1,990,635,000 as of June 30, 2014 provides management with flexibility in managing interest rate risk going forward.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company’s net worth at June 30, 2014 was $1,990,635,000, or 13.46% of total assets. This was an increase of $53,000,000 from September 30, 2013 when net worth was $1,937,635,000, or 14.81% of total assets. The Company’s net worth was impacted in the nine months ended June 30, 2014 by net income of $116,803,000, the payment of $31,393,000 in cash dividends, treasury stock purchases of $64,231,000, as well as an increase in other comprehensive income of $18,043,000.
Management believes this strong net worth position will help the Company manage its inherent risks and resultant profitability and provide the capital support needed for controlled growth in a regulated environment. To be categorized as well capitalized, Washington Federal must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents amounted to $861,304,000 at June 30, 2014, an increase from $203,563,000 at September 30, 2013. The Company continues to hold higher than normal amounts of liquidity due to concern about potentially rising interest rates. It is anticipated that the funds will be invested opportunistically over time as risk adjusted investment opportunities to enhance yields improve. Additionally, see "Interest Rate Risk" above and the "Statement of Cash Flows" included in the financial statements.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities: Available-for-sale securities increased $742,073,000, or 31.4%, during the nine months ended June 30, 2014, which included the purchase of $1,080,476,000 of available-for-sale securities. Most of these investments made with the proceeds from the recent branch acquisitions. There were no available-for-sale securities sold during the nine months ended June 30, 2014. During the same period, there were no held-to-maturity securities purchased or sold. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities of $24,421,000, net of tax, which were recorded as part of stockholders’ equity.
Loans receivable: During the nine months ended June 30, 2014, the balance of loans receivable increased to $7,965,954,000 compared to $7,528,030,000 at September 30, 2013. This increase includes net loan activity (originations less principal payments and maturities) for non covered loans of $451,916,000, which includes the acquisition of $12,881,000 in loans as described in Note B. During the nine month period, $32,818,000 of non covered loans were transferred to REO.
Covered loans: As of June 30, 2014, FDIC covered loans decreased 30.0%, or $88,740,000 to $207,207,000, compared to September 30, 2013 due primarily to $104,951,000 of net principal payments and maturities. The FDIC loss share coverage for the majority of these loans will expire during fiscal year 2015. If all FDIC loss share coverage had expired as of June 30, 2014, the NPA ratio would increase from 1.10% to 1.16% and the delinquency rate would rise from 1.41% to 1.57%.

In addition to the nonaccrual loans reflected in the above table, at June 30, 2014 the Company had $49,806,000 of loans that were less than 90 days delinquent but which it had classified as substandard for one or more reasons. If these loans were deemed non-performing, the Company’s ratio of total NPAs and performing restructured loans as a percent of total assets would have increased to 3.88% at June 30, 2014.

(3) | Total REO and REHI includes real estate held for sale acquired in settlement of loans or acquired from purchased institutions in settlement of loans. Excludes covered REO.

Restructured single-family residential loans are reserved for under the Company’s general reserve methodology. If any individual loan is significant in balance, the Company may establish a specific reserve as warranted.
Most restructured loans are accruing and performing loans where the borrower has proactively approached the Company about modifications due to temporary financial difficulties. Each request is individually evaluated for merit and likelihood of success. Single-family residential loans comprised 86.1% of restructured loans as of June 30, 2014. The concession for these loans is typically a payment reduction through a rate reduction of from 100 to 200 bps for a specific term, usually six to twelve months. Interest-only payments may also be approved during the modification period.
For commercial loans, six consecutive payments on newly restructured loan terms are required prior to returning the loan to accrual status. In some instances after the required six consecutive payments are made, a management assessment will conclude that collection of the entire principal balance is still in doubt. In those instances, the loan will remain on non-accrual. Homogeneous loans may or may not be on accrual status at the time of restructuring, but all are placed on accrual status upon the restructuring of the loan. Homogeneous loans are restructured only if the borrower can demonstrate the ability to meet the restructured payment terms; otherwise, collection is pursued and the loan remains on non-accrual status until liquidated. If the homogeneous restructured loan does not perform it will be placed in non-accrual status when it is 90 days delinquent.
A loan that defaults and is subsequently modified would impact the Company’s delinquency trend, which is part of the qualitative risk factors component of the general reserve calculation. Any modified loan that re-defaults and is charged-off would impact the historical loss factors component of the Company's general reserve calculation.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Income: The quarter ended June 30, 2014 produced net income of $37,910,000 compared to $37,338,000 for the same quarter one year ago. For the nine months ended June 30, 2014, net income totaled $116,803,000 compared to $108,598,000 for the same period one year ago. Net income for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2014 benefited from higher net interest income and overall lower credit costs, which included the reversal of loan loss provision and reduced losses on real estate acquired through foreclosure for the nine month period. Some of this benefit was offset by higher other expense during these periods.
For the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2014, net interest income was higher by $8,563,000 and $19,054,000, respectively. The provision for loan losses amounted to a reversal of $3,000,000 and $11,936,000 for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to a provision of $0 and $3,600,000 for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Gains/losses recognized on real estate acquired through foreclosure was a net loss of $2,056,000 and $3,454,000 for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to a net gain of $176,000 and a net loss of $7,145,000 for the quarter and nine month periods one year ago, respectively. For the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2014, other income was $3,013,000 and $4,500,000 higher, respectively, and other expense was $11,683,000 and $28,398,000 higher, respectively. Income tax provision was $89,000 and $6,178,000 higher for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Please see the related discussions below about these changes.
Net Interest Income: Net interest income was $103,279,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to $94,716,000 for the same quarter one year ago, due to increased interest income on mortgage-backed securities and lower rates on customer deposits.
The following table sets forth certain information explaining changes in interest income and interest expense for the periods indicated compared to the same periods one year ago. For each category of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability, information is provided on changes attributable to (1) changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (2) changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by old volume). The change in interest income and interest expense attributable to changes in both volume and rate has been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Provision for Loan Losses: The Company recorded a $3,000,000 reversal of the provision for loan losses during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, while $0 provision was recorded for the same quarter one year ago. Non-performing assets amounted to $162,357,000, or 1.10% , of total assets at June 30, 2014, compared to $233,403,000, or 1.79%, of total assets one year ago. Non-accrual loans decreased from $148,655,000 at June 30, 2013, to $94,226,000 at June 30, 2014, a 36.6% decrease. The Company had net recoveries of $2,219,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared with $4,780,000 of net charge-offs for the same quarter one year ago. The improvement in the provision for loan losses is in response to three primary factors: first, the amount of NPAs improved year-over-year; second, non-accrual loans as a percentage of net loans decreased from 2.01% at June 30, 2013, to 1.20% at June 30, 2014; and third, the percentage of loans 30 days or more delinquent decreased from 2.27% at June 30, 2013, to 1.41% at June 30, 2014. Management believes the allowance for loan losses, totaling $114,150,000, or 1.35% of gross loans, is sufficient to absorb estimated losses inherent in the portfolio. See Note E for further discussion and analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
Other Income: The quarter ended June 30, 2014 produced total other income of $8,072,000 compared to $5,059,000 for the same quarter one year ago, an increase of $3,013,000, due primarily to increased transaction fee income related to deposit accounts acquired as part of the acquisition of branches from Bank of America, National Association as of the close of business on October 31, 2013, December 6, 2013, and May 2, 2014. Please see Note B for additional information.
Other Expense: The quarter ended June 30, 2014 produced total other expense of $53,293,000 compared to $41,610,000 for the same quarter one year ago, a 28.1% increase. Total other expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 equaled 1.47% and 1.28%, respectively, of average assets. The number of staff, including part-time employees on a full-time equivalent basis, was 1,948 and 1,423 at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Higher staff and occupancy expense was due to an increase in the number of branches from 185 as of June 30, 2013 to 253 as of June 30, 2014. Additionally, information technology, ATM expenses and debit card charges were higher.
Loss on Real Estate Acquired Through Foreclosure: The quarter ended June 30, 2014, produced a net loss on the sale of real estate acquired through foreclosure of $2,056,000 compared to a net gain of $176,000 for the same quarter one year ago. The table below indicates some of the activity in the gain (loss) on real estate acquired through foreclosure.
