Total borrowings were $500 million at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024. Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") Bank Term Funding Program borrowings totaling $400 million matured in May 2024 and were replaced with $400 million in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") during the second quarter of 2024.
Total stockholders' equity increased $2.9 million, or 0.3%, to $850.5 million at June 30, 2024 compared to $847.6 million at March 31, 2024 due primarily to $14.2 million of net income recognized for the quarter, partially offset by $8.1 million in dividends paid to common shareholders and $4.4 million in common stock repurchases.

Allowance for Credit Losses and Provision for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans as a percentage of loans receivable was 1.13% at June 30, 2024 compared to 1.12% at March 31, 2024. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a $1.5 million provision for credit losses on loans, compared to a $1.7 million provision for credit losses on loans during the first quarter of 2024. The provision for credit losses on loans during the second quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by loan growth during the quarter.
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a $202,000 reversal of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments compared to a $312,000 reversal of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments during the first quarter of 2024. The reversal of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments during the second quarter of 2024 was due primarily to a decrease in the unfunded exposure on loans and an increase in utilization rates.
The following table provides detail on the changes in the ACL on loans and the ACL on unfunded commitments, and the related provision for (reversal of) credit losses for the periods indicated:

Credit Quality
The percentage of classified loans to loans receivable increased to 1.8% at June 30, 2024, compared to 1.6% at March 31, 2024. Classified loans include loans rated substandard or worse. The increase was due primarily to the downgrade of a single $15.1 million commercial and multifamily construction loan to substandard from special mention. Total loans designated as special mention decreased by $8.5 million to $93.7 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $102.2 million at March 31, 2024.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income decreased $417,000, or 0.8%, during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to an increase of $2.6 million in interest expense offset partially by a $2.2 million increase in interest income. Net interest margin decreased three basis points to 3.29% during the second quarter of 2024 from 3.32% during the first quarter of 2024.
The cost of interest bearing deposits increased 19 basis points to 1.89% for the second quarter of 2024 from 1.70% for the first quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily due to customers transferring balances from non-maturity deposits to higher rate certificates of deposit.
The yield on interest earning assets increased 14 basis points to 4.93% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 4.79% for the first quarter of 2024. The yield on loans receivable, net, increased 11 basis points to 5.52% during the second quarter of 2024 compared to 5.41% during the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to higher rates on new and renewed loans. The impact to loan yield from recoveries of interest and fees on loans classified as nonaccrual was three basis points during the second quarter of 2024, compared to no impact during the first quarter of 2024. The yield on taxable securities increased nine basis points to 3.38% during the second quarter of 2024 compared to 3.29% during the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to sales of lower yielding investments during the first and second quarters of 2024.
Net interest income decreased $4.7 million, or 8.4%, during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023 and the net interest margin decreased 27 basis points to 3.29% from 3.56% during this same period. The decrease was due primarily to an increase in interest expense resulting from increased deposit rates and borrowing expense, partially offset by an increase in yields earned on interest earning assets following increases in market interest rates.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased $8.1 million to $5.2 million during the second quarter of 2024 from a loss of $2.9 million during the first quarter of 2024. The increase was due primarily to the reduction of loss resulting from the sale of investment securities recognized in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the prior quarter.
Noninterest income decreased $2.0 million from the same period in 2023 due primarily to a $1.9 million pre-tax loss on the sale of investment securities during the second quarter of 2024. Card revenue declined modestly due to a reduction in card activity as non-maturity deposit balances have declined.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense decreased $1.3 million, or 3.2%, during the second quarter of 2024 from the first quarter of 2024 due primarily to a decline in compensation and employee benefits. Compensation and employee benefits declined due primarily to severance costs resulting from staff reductions of $1.1 million recognized during the first quarter of 2024 offset partially by an increase in salary expense due to annual merit increases in base pay. Occupancy and equipment declined due primarily to a decrease in maintenance costs related to winter weather conditions experienced in the first quarter of 2024. Data processing increased during the quarter due to a non-recurring $230,000 refund recognized in the first quarter of 2024 related to a contract termination.
Noninterest expense decreased $2.2 million, or 5.4%, during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to a decrease in data processing and other expense. Data processing decreased primarily due to a decline in ongoing costs resulting from prior technology-related contract renewals and terminations. Other expense decreased due to a decrease in customer account loss expense and a reduction in employee related expenses which included additional expenses in the second quarter of 2024 related to newly added teams. Compensation and employee benefits decreased due to a reduction in full-time equivalent employees to 748 at June 30, 2024 from 813 at June 30, 2023.

Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense increased $716,000 during the second quarter of 2024 to $1.8 million compared to $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase in income tax expense during the current quarter compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income during the second quarter of 2024. The effective tax rate declined during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the prior quarter due to recognition of a discrete tax expense item related to restricted stock awards in the first quarter of 2024 and a reduction in forecasted pre-tax income which caused a downward adjustment to the annualized effective tax rate.
Income tax expense decreased during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023 due to lower pre-tax income during the second quarter of 2024. The effective tax rate declined due to lower pre-tax income which increased the impact of favorable permanent tax items such as tax-exempt investments, investments in bank owned life insurance and tax credits.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements often include words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," and "intend" or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," or "may." Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent management's current expectations and forecasts regarding future events, many of which are inherently uncertain and outside of our control. Actual results may differ, possibly materially, from those currently expected or projected in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: changes in general economic conditions generally, and in the financial services industry, nationally or in our local market areas, other markets where our lending relationships, or other aspects of our business operations or financial markets including, without limitation, as a result of employment levels, labor shortages and the effects of inflation, a potential recession or slowed economic growth, or increased political instability due to acts of war or terrorism; changes in the interest rate environment, including prior increases in the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve") benchmark rate and duration at which such increased interest rate levels are maintained, which could adversely affect our revenues and expenses, the value of assets and obligations, and the availability and cost of capital and liquidity; the impact of continuing elevated inflation and the current and future monetary policies of the Federal Reserve in response thereto; the effects of recent developments and events in the financial services industry, including the large-scale deposit withdrawals over a short-period of time that resulted in a number of bank failures; the impact of recent bank failures or adverse developments at other banks and related negative press about the banking industry in general on investor and depositor sentiment; the extensive regulatory framework that applies to us; potential changes in federal policy and at regulatory agencies as a result of the upcoming 2024 presidential election; changes in the interest rate environment; the quality and composition of our securities portfolio and the impact of any adverse changes including market liquidity within the securities markets; legislative and regulatory changes, including changes in banking, securities and tax law, in regulatory policies and principles, or the interpretation of regulatory capital or other rules; risks related to climate change and the negative impact it may have on our customers and their businesses; severe weather, natural disasters, widespread disease or pandemics; credit and interest rate risks associated with our business, customers, borrowings, repayment, investment, and deposit practices; fluctuations in deposits; the concentration of large deposits from certain clients, who have balances above current Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits; liquidity issues, including our ability to borrow funds or raise additional capital, if necessary; the overall health of local and national real estate markets; concentrations within our loan portfolio; the level of nonperforming assets on our balance sheet; disruptions, fraudulent activity, security breaches, or other adverse events, failures or interruptions in, or attacks on, our information technology systems or on the third-party vendors who perform several of our critical processing functions, including as a result of sophisticated attacks using artificial intelligence and similar tools; rapid technological change in the financial services industry; increased competition in the financial services industry from non-banks such as credit unions and Fintech companies, including digital asset service providers; the composition of our executive management team and our ability to attract and retain key personnel; effects of critical accounting policies and judgments or new and revised accounting policies, including the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain of our assets, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuation; the commencement and outcome of litigation and other legal proceedings and regulatory actions against us or to which we may become subject; our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing items; and other factors described in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") which are available on our website at www.heritagebanknw.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Moreover, any of the forward-looking statements that we make in this press release or the documents we file with or furnish to the SEC are based only on information then actually known to us and upon management's beliefs and assumptions at the time they are made which may turn out to be wrong because of inaccurate assumptions we might make, because of the factors described above or because of other factors that we cannot foresee. We do not undertake and specifically disclaim any obligation to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
This earnings release contains certain financial measures not presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in addition to financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company has presented these non-GAAP financial measures in this earnings release because it believes that they provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Company's capital, performance and asset quality reflected in the current quarter and comparable period results and to facilitate comparison of its performance with the performance of its peers. These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this earnings release to the comparable GAAP measures are presented below.
The Company considers the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio and tangible book value per share to be useful measurements of the adequacy of the Company's capital levels.

HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
The Company considers the return on average tangible common equity ratio to be a useful measurement of the Company's ability to generate returns for its common shareholders. By removing the impact of intangible assets and their related amortization and tax effects, the performance of the Company's ongoing business operations can be evaluated. The Company believes that presenting an adjusted return on tangible common equity ratio, which excludes certain non-recurring items is useful in measuring performance of the Company's ongoing business operations by removing the volatility of these non-recurring items.
