WaFd Announces Quarterly Earnings Per Share Of $0.73
Q3 Highlights

$62 Million |  | $0.73 |  | 0.92% |  | 10.2%
Net Income |  | Diluted Earnings per Common Share |  | Return on Average Assets |  | Return on Tangible Common Equity

The third quarter delivered strong core earnings driven by improved margin and resultant net interest income. Our cost of funds in dollars decreased 6.5% on a linked quarter basis, benefiting from lower rates on deposits and reduced borrowings as we chose to shrink the balance sheet. We have found loan demand to be tepid at best, as many borrowers are waiting for more certainty before starting new projects. Absent loan demand, we aggressively repurchased shares this quarter at attractive prices (1.01x of tangible book value), contributing to the 12% increase in earnings per share and the 5.4% annualized increase in tangible book value per share."
Brent Beardall President and CEO of WaFd Bank

WaFd Inc. Announces Third Quarter Results
Balance Sheet Total assets decreased to $26.7 billion as of June 30, 2025, compared to $28.1 billion at September 30, 2024, primarily due to a reduction in loans receivable and cash used to reduce borrowings and purchase investments during the period. Net loans decreased $0.6 billion to $20.3 billion and cash decreased $1.6 billion, or 66.0%. Investment securities increased by $891 million, or 29.6% in the nine months ended June 30, 2025.
Customer deposits totaled $21.4 billion as of June 30, 2025, largely unchanged from September 30, 2024. Transaction accounts increased by $152 million or 1.3% during the period, while time deposits decreased $139 million or 1.5%. As of June 30, 2025, 56.0% of the Company’s deposits were transaction accounts, a slight increase from 55.3% at September 30, 2024. Core deposits, defined as all transaction accounts and time deposits less than $250,000, totaled 77.3% of deposits at June 30, 2025, up from 75.1% on September 30, 2024. Deposits that are uninsured or not collateralized were 23.8% of total deposits as of June 30, 2025, a decrease from 24.8% as of September 30, 2024.
Borrowings totaled $1.9 billion as of June 30, 2025, down from $3.3 billion at September 30, 2024. The effective weighted average interest rate of borrowings was 2.76% as of June 30, 2025, compared to 3.93% at September 30, 2024.
Loan originations totaled $0.7 billion for the third fiscal quarter of 2025, compared to $0.9 billion of originations in the prior quarter. Offsetting loan originations in each of these quarters were loan repayments of $1.5 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. Commercial loans represented 86% of all loan originations during the third fiscal quarter of 2025 and consumer loans accounted for the remaining 14%. The period end interest yield on the loan portfolio was 5.42% as of June 30, 2025, the same yield as of March 31, 2025 and a decrease from 5.62% as of September 30, 2024.
Tangible common equity per share is a key metric for our management team. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, tangible book value per share grew from $27.73 as of September 30, 2024 to $28.69 at June 30, 2025. This metric is a non-GAAP Financial Measure. See page 9 for additional information on our use of non-GAAP Financial Measures. During the quarter, the Company repurchased 1,662,508 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $29.08. Our share repurchase plan currently has an authorization of 9.1 million shares, which provides what we believe is a compelling investment alternative.
Credit Quality Credit quality continues to be closely monitored with the shifting economic and monetary environment. As of June 30, 2025, non-performing assets increased to $97 million, or 0.36% of total assets, from $77 million, or 0.28%, at September 30, 2024. The change fiscal year to date is due to non-accrual loans increasing by $13.2 million, or 19%, since September 30, 2024 and REO increasing by $6.6 million during the same time frame. The REO increase is the result of former branch properties held for sale. Delinquent loans were slightly increased at 0.26% of total loans at June 30, 2025, compared to 0.25% at September 30, 2024 but improved compared to 0.27% at March 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses (including the reserve for unfunded commitments) totaled $219 million as of June 30, 2025, and was 1.03% of gross loans outstanding, as compared to $225 million, or 1.01% of gross loans outstanding, as of September 30, 2024. Net charge-offs were $5.4 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2025, compared to $5.1 million for the prior quarter.
Profitability Net interest income was $168 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2025, an increase of $7.1 million or 4% from the prior quarter. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to a 16 basis point decrease in the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities. Net interest margin was 2.69% in the third fiscal quarter of 2025 compared to 2.55% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Total non-interest income was $18.3 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2025 compared to $18.9 million the prior quarter. The decrease compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to decreased income from the Bank's insurance subsidiary, WaFd Insurance as the March quarter included annual contingency fee income.
Total non-interest expense stabilized at $104.3 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2025, a slight decrease of $0.5 million, or 0.5%, from the prior quarter. The decrease is the result of reduced Other Expenses and FDIC Insurance costs offset by slightly higher Compensation expenses. Decreased expenses combined with increased net interest income resulted in a decrease in the Company’s efficiency ratio in the third fiscal quarter of 2025 to 56.0%, compared to 58.3% in the prior quarter.
The Company recorded a $2.0 million provision for credit losses in the third fiscal quarter of 2025 compared to a provision of $2.8 million the prior quarter. The provision for loan losses in the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was the net result of decreased loan balances, mixed credit metrics, including the increasing trends in negative migration of criticized and nonperforming loans and $5.4 million of net charge-offs taken during the quarter.
Return on common shareholders' equity for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was 8.54% compared to 7.68% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Adjusted for certain non-operating items, return on equity for the quarter is 8.56% compared to

| Quarterly Earnings Release Q3 2025 | 3

WaFd Inc. Announces Third Quarter Results
adjusted return on equity of 7.66% the prior quarter. Return on assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was 0.92% compared to 0.82% for the previous quarter. Adjusted for certain non-operating items, return on assets for the quarter is 0.93% compared to adjusted return on assets of 0.82% the prior quarter. For a reconciliation of these adjusted ratios, see the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below.
Income tax expense totaled $17.8 million the third fiscal quarter of 2025, as compared to $15.8 million for the second quarter. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was 22.33% compared to 21.88% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The Company’s effective tax rate may vary from the statutory rate mainly due to state taxes, tax-exempt income and tax-credit investments.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has presented certain non-GAAP measures within this document to remove the effect of certain income and expenses to provide investors with information useful in understanding our financial performance. The Company considers these items to be non-operating in nature as they are items that management does not consider indicative of the Company's on-going financial performance. We believe that the tables presented reflect our on-going performance in the periods presented and, accordingly, are useful to consider in addition to our GAAP financial results. These measures should not be considered a substitution for GAAP basis disclosures.
Other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way they are calculated herein. Because of this, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by others. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on such measures. See the following unaudited tables for reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
