HomeStreet, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


NOTE 1–SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:


HomeStreet, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Company") is a diversified financial services company serving customers primarily on the West Coast of the United States, including Hawaii. The Company is principally engaged in commercial banking, mortgage banking, and consumer/retail banking activities. The Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HomeStreet, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, HomeStreet Capital Corporation, HomeStreet Statutory Trusts and HomeStreet Bank (the "Bank"), and the Bank's subsidiaries, HomeStreet/WMS, Inc., HomeStreet Reinsurance, Ltd., Continental Escrow Company, HomeStreet Foundation, HS Properties, Inc., HS Evergreen Corporate Center LLC, Union Street Holdings LLC, HS Cascadia Holdings LLC and YNB Real Estate LLC. HomeStreet Bank was formed in 1986 and is a state-chartered commercial bank.


The Company's accounting and financial reporting policies conform towith accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods and related disclosures. Some of these estimates require application of management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments and result in amounts that are inherently uncertain and may change in future periods. Management has made significant estimates in several areas including the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, allowance for credit losses (Note 4, Loans and Credit Quality), valuation of residential mortgage servicing rights and loans held for sale (Note 7, Mortgage Banking Operations), valuation of investment securities (Note 3, Investment Securities), and valuation of derivatives (Note 6, Derivatives and Hedging Activities).

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") adopted a Resolution of Exit or Disposal of Home Loan Center ("HLC") Based Mortgage Banking Operations to sell or abandon the assets and transfer or terminate the personnel associated with the Company's high-volume home loan center-based mortgage origination business. The Company also successfully closed and settled two separate sales of the rights to service $14.26 billion in total unpaid principal balance of single family mortgage loans serviced for others, representing in the aggregate 71% of HomeStreet's total single family mortgage loans serviced for others portfolio at December 31, 2018. These two actions largely represent the Company's former Mortgage Banking segment. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-20, the Company determined that the Board decision to sell or abandon the assets and personnel associated with the Company's HLC-related mortgage business and the mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") sales We have met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations and its operating results and financial condition have been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for the current and all comparative periods which have been recastreclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the new presentation (see Note 2 Discontinued Operations for additional information). Unless otherwise indicated, information included in these notes to the consolidated financial statements (unaudited)current period presentation. These reclassifications are presentedimmaterial and have no effect on a consolidated operations basis, which includes results from both continuing and discontinued operations, for all periods presented.net income, comprehensive income, cash flows, total assets or total shareholders' equity as previously reported.

In connection with the mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") sales and Board resolution regarding the former Mortgage Banking segment, the Company reassessed its reportable operating segments given these changes and associated changes made to its Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) package as of March 31, 2019. The Company concluded that as of March 31, 2019 the CODM evaluates the Company’s performance on a consolidated, entity-wide basis and accordingly has resulted in the elimination of segment reporting. The Company will no longer disclose operating results below the consolidated entity level which is now the reportable segment.


These unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results of operations in the interim financial statements do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for the full year. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K").


Risks and Uncertainties

The worldwide spread of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has created significant uncertainty in the global economy. There have been no comparable recent events that provide guidance as to the effect the spread of COVID-19 as a global pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of COVID-19 and the extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict.

Share Repurchase Program
On March 28, 2019,
In the first quarter of 2020, the Board authorized a2 share repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program")programs pursuant to which the Company maycould purchase up to $75$35 million of its issued and outstanding common stock, no par value, at prevailing market rates at the time of such purchase. In March 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company suspended or withdrew these share repurchase programs.


TherePrior to the suspension of these programs, there were no repurchases of 580,278 shares of our common stock duringat an average price of $27.57 per share in the quarterthree months ended March 31, 2019.2020.


Recent Accounting Developments


In AprilDecember 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825 – Financial Instruments. The new for Income Taxes” (“ASU provides narrow-scope amendments to help apply these recent standards. The transition requirements and effective date of this ASU for HomeStreet is January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted for certain amendments. The Company is currently assessing this standard’s impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In October 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"2019-12”) Overnight Index Swap ("OIS") Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. ASU 2018-16 expands2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the list of U.S. benchmark interest rates permittedgeneral principles in the application of hedge accounting by adding the OIS rate based on SOFR as an eligible benchmark interest rate.Topic 740 in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. ASU 2018-162019-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods inpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,2020, with early adoption permitted. We adoptedThe Company does not expect ASU 2018-16 on January 1, 2019 and it did not2019-12 to have a material impacteffect on the Company's consolidatedCompany’s current financial statements.position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.


In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No.2018-13, No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU adds, eliminates, and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Among the changes, entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for interimon January 1, 2020 and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. Entities are also allowed to elect early adoption of the eliminated or modified disclosure requirements and delay adoption of the added disclosure requirements until their effective date. As ASU No. 2018-13 only revises disclosure requirements, it willdid not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements to Provide Entities with Relief from the Costs of Implementing Certain Aspects of the New Leasing Standard, ASU No. 2016-02. Specifically, under the amendments in ASU 2018-11 entities may elect not to recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to the new leasing standard. The amendments have the same effective date as ASU 2016-02 (January 1, 2019 for the Company). The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019 and elected the mentioned transition option.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, or ASU 2018-02. The amendments in this update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act"). The update does not have any impact on the underlying ASC 740 guidance that requires the effect of a change in tax law be included in income from continuing operations. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Act is recognized. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2019 and reclassified $1.5 million of stranded tax effects from AOCI to retained earnings at that time.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This standard better aligns an entity's risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. To meet that objective, the amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedge instruments and the hedged item in the financial statements. Adoption for this ASU is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance on January 1, 2019 and transferred approximately $66.2 million in held to maturity securities to available for sale and recognized $548 thousand in AOCI.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, or ASU 2017-04, which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2017-04 also

eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test.assessment. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. Adoption ofThe Company adopted ASU 2017-04 is required for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does2020 and it did not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on itsour consolidated financial statements.


In June 2016, FASB issuedOn January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Current U.S. GAAP requires, which replaces the incurred loss methodology ("ALLL") with an "incurred loss"expected loss methodology for recognizingthat is referred to as the current expected credit losses that delay recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred.("CECL") methodology. The main objectivemeasurement of this ASU is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses onunder the CECL methodology is applicable to financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The amendment affects loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial asset not excluded from the scope that has the contractual right to receive cash. The amendments in this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment model in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments in this ASU require a financial asset (or group of financial assets)assets measured at amortized cost, basisincluding loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures such as loan commitments. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities ("AFS") by adjusting the factors in evaluating whether an AFS investment in a debt security is impaired and to accelerate the timing of when impairment losses would be recorded.
The Company adopted CECL using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet ("OBS") credit exposure. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be presentedreported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP, ASC 450-20. The Company recorded a decrease of $3.7 million to the beginning balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2020 for the cumulative effect of adopting this guidance.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the prospective transition approach for debt securities for which other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized prior to January 1, 2020. As a result, the amortized cost basis remains the same before and after the effective date of this guidance. The effective interest rate on the debt securities was not changed.
The following table illustrates the impact of the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020.

The following accounting policies have been updated to reflect the adoption of CECL.

Loans Held for Investment
Loans held for investment are loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses.
Amortized cost is the principal amount outstanding, net of cumulative charge-offs, interest applied to principal (for loans accounted for using the cost recovery method), unamortized net deferred loan origination fees and costs and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Accrued interest receivable was reported in Other Assets in Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and the Bank has elected to exclude evaluation of accrued interest receivable from the allowance for credit losses.
Deferred fees and costs and premiums and discounts are amortized into interest income over the contractual terms of the underlying loans using the constant effective yield (the interest method) or straight-line method.
A determination is made as of the loan commitment date as to whether a loan will be held for sale or held for investment. This determination is based primarily on the type of loan or loan program and its related profitability characteristics. When a loan is designated as held for investment, the intent is to hold these loans for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off. If subsequent changes occur, the Company may change its intent to hold these loans. Once a determination has been made to sell

such loans, they are immediately transferred to loans held for sale. Only HFI loans are subject to the allowance for credit losses. HFS loans that are not fair value option are carried at the netlower of cost or market value.
Past Due Loans
Management reports loans as past due when the payment is 30 days or more past due from the required payment date at month-end.

Nonaccrual Loans
Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when the full and timely collection of principal and interest is doubtful, generally when the loan becomes 90 days or more past due for principal or interest payment or if part of the principal balance has been charged off.
All payments received on nonaccrual loans are accounted for using the cost recovery method. Under the cost recovery method, all cash collected is applied to first reduce the principal balance. A loan may be returned to accrual status if all delinquent principal and interest payments are brought current and the collectability of the remaining principal and interest payments in accordance with the loan agreement is reasonably assured. Loans that are well-secured and in the process of collection are maintained on accrual status, even if they are 90 days or more past due. Loans whose repayments are insured by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans' Affairs ("VA") are maintained on accrual status even if 90 days or more past due.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
A loan is accounted for and reported as a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") when, for economic or legal reasons, we grant a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty that we would not otherwise consider. A restructuring that results in only an insignificant delay in payment is not considered a concession. A delay may be considered insignificant if the payments subject to the delay are insignificant relative to the unpaid principal or collateral value and the contractual amount due, or the delay in timing of the restructured payment period is insignificant relative to the frequency of payments, the debt's original contractual maturity or original expected toduration.
TDRs that are performing and on accrual status as of the date of the modification remain on accrual status. TDRs that are nonperforming as of the date of modification generally remain as nonaccrual until the prospect of future payments in accordance with the modified loan agreement is reasonably assured, generally demonstrated when the borrower maintains compliance with the restructured terms for a predetermined period, normally at least six months. TDRs with temporary below-market concessions remain designated as a TDR irrespective of the accrual or performance status until the loan is paid off. However, if the TDR loan has been modified in a subsequent restructure with market terms and the borrower is not currently experiencing financial difficulty, then the loan will not be collected. designated as a TDR.
Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans Held for Investment
The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") for loans held for investment is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the non-collectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries may not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. The allowance for credit losses for loans held for investment, as reported in our consolidated statements of financial asset. The measurementcondition, is adjusted by a provision for credit losses, which is reported in earnings, and reduced by the charge-offs of loan amounts, net of recoveries.
Management estimates the ACL balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses will belosses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix or delinquency levels or other relevant factors, see Loans that Share Similar Risk Characteristics with Other Loans for more detail.
The credit loss estimation process involves procedures to appropriately consider the unique characteristics of its two loan portfolio segments, the consumer loan portfolio segment and the commercial loan portfolio segment. These two segments are further disaggregated into loan pools, the level at which credit risk is monitored. When computing allowance levels, credit loss assumptions are estimated using a model that categorizes loan pools based on relevant information about past events,loss history, delinquency status and other credit trends and risk characteristics, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affectabout the collectabilityfuture. Determining the appropriateness of the reported amount. The amendments in this ASU broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The use of forecasted information incorporates more timely information in the estimate of expected credit loss, which will be more decision useful to users of the financial statements. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company plans to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2020 and is still evaluating the effects this ASU will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The Company has formed a cross-functional project team and engaged third-party consultants who have jointly developed an implementation plan to satisfy the requirements of the ASU. The project team continues to work on developing and implementing the currently expected credit loss ("CECL") model including data and assumption validation, identifying key interpretive issues, documenting process flows and internal controls, and beginning parallel testing with our existing allowance model. We also engaged a third-party firm to evaluate our CECL model. The Company anticipates that an increase to the allowance for credit losses is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In future periods, evaluations of the overall loan portfolio, based on the factors

and forecasts then prevailing, may result in material changes in the allowance for credit losses and provision for credit losses in those future periods.
Credit Loss Measurement
The allowance level is influenced by current conditions related to loan volumes, loan asset quality ratings ("AQR") migration or delinquency status, historic loss experience and other conditions influencing loss expectations, such as reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. The methodology for estimating the amount of expected credit losses reported in the allowance for credit losses has two basic components: first, a pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics and second an asset-specific component involving individual loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans and the measurement of expected credit losses for such individual loans.
Loans that Share Similar Risk Characteristics with Other Loans
In estimating the component of the ACL, for loans that share similar risk characteristics with other loans, such loans are segregated into loan pools. Loans are designated into loan pools based on similar risk characteristics, like product types or areas of risk concentration.
The Company's ACL model methodology is to build a reserve rate using historical life of loan default rates combined with assessments of current loan portfolio information and forecasted economic environment and business cycle information. The model uses statistical analysis to determine the life of loan default rates for the quantitative component and analyzes qualitative factors (Q-Factors) that assess the current loan portfolio conditions and forecasted economic environment. Below is the general overview our new ACL model.
Historical Loss Rate
The Company chose to analyze loan data from a full economic cycle, to the extent that data was available, to calculate life of loan loss rates. Based on the current economic environment and available loan level data, it was determined the Loss Horizon Period (LHP) should begin prior to the last economic recession. The Company plans to monitor and review the LHP on an annual basis to determine appropriate time frames to be included based on economic indicators.
The Company has largely maintained existing ALLL pools under CECL to represent pools of loans grouped by similar risk characteristics. Using these pools, sub-pools are established at a more granular level incorporating delinquency status and original FICO or original LTV (for consumer loans) and risk ratings (for commercial loans). Using the pool and sub-pool structure, cohorts are established historically on a quarterly basis containing the population in these sets as of that point in time. After the establishment of these cohorts, the loans within the cohorts are then tracked from that point forward to establish long-term Probability of Default ("PD") for the sub-pool. Loss Given Default ("LGD") is calculated for the pool. These historical cohorts and their PD/LGD outcomes are then averaged together to establish expected PDs and LGDs for each sub-pool.

Once historical cohorts are established, the loans in the cohort are tracked moving forward for default events. The Company has defined default events as the first dollar of loss. If a loan in the cohort has experienced a default event over the “default horizon” then the balance of the loan at the time of cohort establishment becomes part of the numerator of the PD calculation. The Loss Given Probability of Default ("LGPD") or Expected Loss ("EL") is the weighted average PD for each sub-pool cohort times the average LGD for each pool. The output from the model then is a series of EL rates for each loan sub-pool, which are applied to the related outstanding balances for each loan sub-pool to determine the ACL reserve based on historical loss rates.
Q-Factors
The Q-Factors adjust the expected historic loss rates for current and forecasted conditions that are not provided for in the historical loss information. The Company has established a methodology for adjusting historical expected loss rates based on these more recent or forecasted changes. The Q-Factor methodology is based on a blend of quantitative analysis and management judgment and reviewed on a quarterly basis.
Each of the thirteen factors in the FASB standard were analyzed for common risk characteristics and grouped into seven consolidated Q-Factors as listed below.

Qualitative FactorFinancial Instruments - Credit Losses
Portfolio Credit QualityThe borrower's financial condition, credit rating, credit score, asset quality, or business prospects
The borrower's ability to make scheduled interest or principal payments
The volume and severity of past due financial assets and the volume and severity of adversely classified or rated financial assets
Remaining PaymentsThe remaining payment terms of the financial assets

An eighth Q-Factor, Management Overlay, has been created to allow the Bank to adjust specific pools when conditions exist that were not contemplated in the model design that warrant an adjustment.
The Company has chosen two years as the forecast period based on management judgment and has determined that reasonable and supportable forecasts should be made for two of the Q-Factors: Economic and Collateral values.
Management has assigned weightings for each qualitative factor as well as individual metrics within each qualitative factor as to the relative importance of that factor or metric specific to each portfolio type. The Q-Factors above are evaluated using a seven-point scale ranging from significant improvement to significant deterioration.
The CECL Q-Factor methodology bounds the Q-Factor adjustments by a minimum and maximum range, based on the Bank’s own historical expected loss rates for each respective pool. The rating of the Q-Factor on the seven-point scale, along with the allocated weight, determines the final expected loss adjustment. The model is constructed so that the total of the Q-Factor adjustments plus the current expected loss rate cannot exceed the maximum or minimum two-year loss rate for that pool, which is aligned with the Bank's chosen forecast period. Loss rates beyond two years are not adjusted in the Q-Factor process and the model reverts to the historical mean loss rates.
Review and Model Maintenance
Quarterly, loan data is gathered to update the portfolio metrics analyzed in the Q-Factor model. The model is updated with current data and applicable forecasts, then the results are reviewed by management. After consensus is reached on all Q-Factor ratings, the results are input into the Q-Factor model and applied to the pooled loans which are reviewed to determine the adequacy of the reserve. Annually, the CECL model will be recognized upon adoptionvalidated through an independent review. The review will cover data inputs, model assumptions, methodology and logic used in the estimation process as well as operational reviews, back testing, model control environment, output and reports.

Additional details describing the model by portfolio segment are below:
Consumer Loan Portfolio
The consumer loan portfolio segment is comprised of the ASUsingle family and home equity loan classes, which are underwritten after evaluating a borrower's capacity, credit, and collateral. Capacity refers to providea borrower's ability to make payments on the loan. Several factors are considered when assessing a borrower's capacity, including the borrower's employment, income, current debt, assets, and level of equity in the property. Credit refers to how well a borrower manages current and prior debts as documented by a credit report that provides credit scores and current and past information about the borrower's credit history. Collateral refers to the type and use of property, occupancy, and market value. Property appraisals are obtained to assist in evaluating collateral. Loan-to-property value and debt-to-income ratios, loan amount, and lien position are also considered in assessing whether to originate a loan. These borrowers are particularly susceptible to downturns in economic trends such as conditions that negatively affect housing prices and demand and levels of unemployment.
Consumer Loan Portfolio Segment Estimated Loss Rate Model
With some modifications under CECL, the Bank has largely maintained existing ALLL pools established under ASC 450-20. These pools of loans are groups with similar risk characteristics: Single Family and Home Equity Loans which includes Consumer loans. Sub-Pools are established at a more granular level for the calculation of PDs, incorporating delinquency status, original FICO, and original LTV.
Consumer portfolio cohorts are established by grouping each ACL sub-pool at a point in time. Once historical cohorts are established, the loans in the cohort are tracked moving forward for default events as noted in the Historical Loss Rate section above.

The Q-Factors adjust the expected historic loss rates for current and forecasted conditions that are not provided for in the historical loss information. For Single Family loans all Q-Factors noted above are evaluated. For the Home Equity and Consumer loans, collateral values are not evaluated as the Bank has determined the FICO score trends are a more relevant predictor of default than current collateral value for those types of loans. Factors above are evaluated based on current conditions and forecasts (as applicable), using a seven-point scale ranging from significant improvement to significant deterioration.
Commercial Loan Portfolio
The commercial loan portfolio segment is comprised of the non-owner occupied commercial real estate, multifamily, construction/land development, owner occupied commercial real estate and commercial business loan classes, whose underwriting standards consider the factors described for single family and home equity loan classes as well as others when assessing the borrower's and associated guarantors or other related party’s financial position. These other factors include assessing liquidity, net worth, leverage, other outstanding indebtedness of the borrower, the quality and reliability of cash expected to flow through the borrower (including the outflow to other lenders) and prior known experiences with the borrower.
This information is used to assess financial capacity, profitability, and experience. Ultimate repayment of these loans is sensitive to interest rate changes, general economic conditions, liquidity, and availability of long-term financing.
Commercial Loan Portfolio Segment Loss Rate Model
The Bank maintained loan classes above but has subdivided the construction / land development into the following ACL reporting pools to more accurately group risk characteristics: Multifamily construction, Commercial Real Estate construction, Single Family construction to permanent and Single Family construction which also includes lot, land, and acquisition and development loans. ACL sub-pools are established at a more granular level for the calculation of PDs, utilizing risk rating.
As outlined in the Bank’s policies, commercial loans pools are non-homogenous and are regularly assessed for credit quality. The Company’s risk rating methodology assigns risk ratings from 1 to 10. For purposes of CECL, loans are sub-pooled according to the following AQR Ratings:
AQR 1-4: These loans range from minimal to average risk characteristics and are pooled together. They exhibit sound sources of repayment and evidence no material collection or repayment weakness.
AQR 5: These loans have acceptable risk. While lower than average risk, weaknesses can be adequately mitigated by structure, collateral, or credit enhancement.
AQR 6: These loans meet the regulatory definition of “Watch”. They are considered satisfactory but have less than acceptable risk due to emerging risk elements or declining performance. Loans in this category are generally characterized by elements of uncertainty and require close management attention.

AQR 7: These loans meet the regulatory definition of “Special Mention.” They contain unfavorable characteristics and are generally undesirable. Loans in this category are currently protected but are potentially weak and constitute an undue or unwarranted credit risk.
AQR 8: These loans meet the regulatory definition of “Substandard”. They are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. They have well-defined weaknesses and have unsatisfactory characteristics causing unacceptable levels of risk.
There are two risk class ratings that are excluded from pooling: AQR 9 defined as “Doubtful” and AQR 10 defined as “Loss”. The Bank has not had any AQR 9 loans to date, and any loans rated AQR 10 have been charged off in their entirety.
Commercial segment cohorts are established by grouping each ACL sub-pool at a point in time. Once historical cohorts are established, the loans in the cohort are tracked moving forward for default events as noted in the Historical Loss Rate section above. The Q-Factors adjust the expected historic loss rates for current and forecasted conditions that are not provided for in the historical loss information. All the Q-Factors noted above are evaluated for Commercial portfolio loans except for Commercial Business and Owner Occupied Commercial Real Estate ("CRE") loans which exclude the collateral values Q-Factor. The Company has determined that these loans are primarily underwritten by evaluating the cash flow of the business and not the underlying collateral. Factors above are evaluated based on current conditions and forecasts (as applicable), using a seven-point scale ranging from significant improvement to significant deterioration.
Loans That Do Not Share Risk Characteristics with Other Loans
For a loan that does not share risk characteristics with other loans, expected credit loss is measured on net realizable value, that is the difference between the discounted value of the expected future cash flows, based on the original effective interest rate, and the amortized cost basis of the loan. For these loans, we recognize expected credit loss equal to the amount by which the net realizable value of the loan is less than the amortized cost basis of the loan (which is net of previous charge-offs and deferred loan fees and costs), except when the loan is collateral dependent, which is when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. In these cases, expected credit loss is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the loan and the fair value of the collateral. The fair value of the collateral is adjusted for the estimated costs to sell if repayment or satisfaction of a loan is dependent on the sale (rather than only on the operation) of the collateral.
The starting point for determining the fair value of collateral is through obtaining external appraisals. Generally, collateral values for collateral dependent loans are updated every twelve months, either from external third parties or in-house certified appraisers. A third-party appraisal is required at least annually for substandard loans and other real estate owned ("OREO"). Third party appraisals are obtained from a pre-approved list of independent, third party, local appraisal firms. Approval and addition to the list is based on experience, reputation, character, consistency and knowledge of the respective real estate market. Generally, appraisals are internally reviewed by the appraisal services group to ensure the quality of the appraisal and the expertise and independence of the appraiser. For performing consumer segment loans secured by real estate that are classified as collateral dependent, the Bank determines the fair value estimates quarterly using automated valuation services. Once the expected loss amount is determined, an allowance is recorded equal to the calculated expected credit loss and included in the allowance for credit losses. If the calculated expected loss is determined to be permanent or not recoverable, the expected credit loss will be charged off. Factors considered by management in determining if the expected credit loss is permanent or not recoverable include whether management judges the loan to be uncollectible, repayment is deemed to be protracted beyond reasonable time frames, or the loss becomes evident owing to the borrower's lack of assets or, for single family loans, the loan is 180 days or more past due unless both well-secured and in the process of collection.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures
The Bank estimates expected credit losses over the estimatedcontractual period in which the Bank is exposed to risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Bank. Reserves are required for off-balance-sheet credit exposures that are not unconditionally cancellable. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded loans commitments is based on an estimate of unfunded commitment utilization over the life of the financial assets (principally loans); however, management is still assessingloan, applying the magnitudeEL to the estimated utilization balance as of the increase which will depend on economic conditions andreporting period. As these estimated credit loss calculations are similar to the composition and trendsfunded loans held for investment they share similar risks plus the additional risk from estimating commitment utilization.

Allowance for Other Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates available-for-sale securities in the Company's loan portfolioan unrealized loss position, using a qualitative approach, at the dateend of adoption. Upon adoption,each quarter to determine whether the decline in value is from a credit loss or other factors. An unrealized loss exists when the fair value of an individual lot is less than its amortized cost basis. When qualitative factors indicate that a credit loss may exist, the Company expects a change in the processes and procedures to calculate the allowance for loan losses. In addition, the current accounting policy and procedures for other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities classified as available for sale will be replaced with an allowance approach. The Company has begun developing and implementing processes to address the provisions of this ASU.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases: 1) a lease liability, which iscompares the present value of a lessee's obligation to make lease payments, and 2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. All entities will classify leases to determine how to recognize lease-related revenue and expense. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures will be required by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arisingexpected to be collected from leases. The intention is to require enough information to supplement the amounts recorded insecurity with the financial statements so that users can understand more aboutamortized cost basis of the nature of an entity's leasing activities. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2018. All entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the date of initial application.security. The Company electedrecognizes an allowance for credit losses measured as the transition option provided in ASU No. 2018-11 (see above), the modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2019.

The Company elected certain relief options offered in ASU 2016-02, including the package of practical expedients (no reassessment of whether any expired or existing contracts contain a lease, no reassessment of lease classification for any expired or existing leases and no reassessment of initial direct costs for existing leases), and the option not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term leases (i.e., leases with original terms of twelve months or less). The Company elected the hindsight practical expedient, which allows entities to reassess their assumptions used when determining lease term and impairment of right-of-use assets. The Company had facility and equipment lease agreements which were previously being accounted for as operating leases and therefore not being recognized on the Company's consolidated statement

of condition. The new guidance required these lease agreements to be recognized on the consolidated statements of condition as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. The provisions of ASU No. 2016-02 impacted the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition, along with the Company's regulatory capital ratios. On January 1, 2019, upon adoption of this standard, the Company recognized $120.8 million and $136.9 million increase in right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, respectively, based ondifference between the present value of expected cash flows and the amortized cost basis of the security, limited by the amount that the security’s fair value is less than its amortized cost basis. The Company does not believe any of these securities that were in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2020 represent a credit loss impairment.

The Company carries a limited amount of held to maturity ("HTM") debt securities. Utilizing the CECL approach, the Company determined that the expected remaining lease payments. As mostcredit loss on this portfolio was immaterial, and therefore, an allowance for credit losses was not recorded as of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses the FHLB Des Moines rate at lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.There was no related adjustment to retained earnings. Please see Note 11 Leases for the impact of the adoption of this guidance.March 31, 2020.




NOTE 2–DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:


On March 29, 2019, the Company successfully closed and settled two2 sales of the rights to service $14.26 billion in total unpaid principal balance of single family mortgage loans serviced for Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ('Freddie("Freddie Mac") and Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"), representing 71% of HomeStreet's total single family mortgage loans serviced for others portfolio as of December 31, 2018. The sale resulted in a $774 thousand pre-tax increase in incomegain from discontinued operations during the quarter.three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company expects to finalizefinalized the servicing transfer for these loans in the second and third quarters of 2019 and is subservicingsubserviced these loans untilthrough the transfer dates. These loans are excluded from the Company's MSR portfolio at March 31, 2019.

On March 31, 2019, based on mortgage market conditions and the operating environment, the Board adopted a Resolution of Exit or Disposal of HLCHome Loan Center ("HLC") Based Mortgage Banking Operations to sell or abandon the assets and related personnel associated with those operations. The assets beingthat were sold or abandoned largely representrepresented the Company's former Mortgage Banking segment, the activities of which related to originating, servicing, underwriting, funding and selling single family residential mortgage loans.


The Company determined that the above actions constituteconstituted commitment to a plan of exit or disposal of certain long-lived assets (through sale or abandonment) and termination of employees. Further, the Company has determined that the shift from a large-scale home-loan centerHLC based originator and servicer to a branch-focused product offering representsrepresented a strategic shift. As a result, the HLC-related mortgage banking operations are reported separately from the continuing operations as held-for-sale or as discontinued operations. In addition, the former Mortgage Banking operating segment and reporting unit has been eliminated and the remaining personnel, assets and liabilities of the segment are incorporated into the other operations of the Company.were eliminated. This has resulted in a recast of the financial statements in the current2019 and all comparative periods as detailed below.


Subsequently, onOn April 4, 2019 the Company entered into a plan ofdefinitive agreement related to the sale of the HLC based mortgage origination business assets and transfer of personnel to Homebridge Financial Services, Inc. ("Homebridge").


Assets being sold to Homebridge include up to 50On June 24, 2019 the Company completed the sale with Homebridge. This sale included 47 stand-alone HLCs and the transfer of certain related mortgage personnel. These HLCs, along with certain other mortgage banking related assets and liabilities that are expectedwere to be sold or abandoned separately within one year, are classified as discontinued operations in the 2019 accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and Consolidated Statements of Operations. HLCs that were not sold were closed during the second quarter of 2019 and none remain. Certain components of the Company's former Mortgage Banking segment, including MSRs on certain mortgage loans that were not part of the sales and have beenright-of-use assets and lease liabilities where we did not obtain full landlord release were classified as continuing operations inbased on the financial statements because they remain partCompany's intent.

At the end of the Company's ongoing operations.second quarter 2019, the Company also entered into a non-binding letter of interest to sell its ownership interest in WMS LLC at which time related operations also met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations for periods presented. The sales transaction was closed in November 2019, resulting in an immaterial loss on disposal.

These discontinued operations activities, including the exit or disposal of the former mortgage banking segment, were concluded by December 31, 2019. Consequently, we ceased discontinued operations accounting effective January 1, 2020.

Mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMO") represent securities issued by government sponsored enterprises ("GSEs"). EachMost of the MBS and CMO securities in our investment portfolio are guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae or Freddie Mac. Municipal bonds are comprised of general obligation bonds (i.e., backed by the general credit of the issuer) and revenue bonds (i.e., backed by either collateral or revenues from the specific project being financed) issued by various municipal corporations. As of March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, all securities held, including municipal bonds and corporate debt securities, were rated investment grade, based upon external ratings where available and, where not available, based upon internal ratings which correspond to ratings as defined by Standard and Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") or Moody's Investors Services ("Moody's"). As of March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, substantially all securities held had ratings available by external ratings agencies.

There were 0 held to maturity securities in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2019

The Company has evaluated securities available for sale that are in an unrealized loss position and has determined that the decline in value is temporary and is related to the change in market interest rates since purchase. The decline in value is not related to the occurrence of any issuer- or industry-specific credit event. The Company has not identified any expected credit losses on its debt

securities as of March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018.2019. In addition, as of March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company had not made a decision to sell any of its debt securities held, nor did the Company consider it more likely than not that it would be required to sell such securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.


The following tables present the fair value of investment securities available for sale and held to maturity by contractual maturity along with the associated contractual yield for the periods indicated below. Contractual maturities for mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations as presented exclude the effect of expected prepayments. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations before the underlying mortgages mature. The weighted-average yield is computed using the contractual coupon of each security weighted based on the fair value of each security and does not include adjustments to a tax equivalent basis.

NOTE 4–LOANS4-LOANS AND CREDIT QUALITY:

For a detailed discussion of loans and credit quality, including accounting policies and the new required methodology used to estimate the allowance for credit losses, see Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Policies.
As a result of the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, there is a lack of comparability in both the reserves and Note 5, Loans and Credit Quality, within our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.provisions for credit losses for the periods presented. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented using the CECL methodology, while comparative period information continues to be reported in accordance with the incurred loss methodology in effect for prior periods.


The Company's portfolio of loans held for investment is divided into two2 portfolio segments, consumer loans and commercial loans, which are the same segments used to determineestimate expected credit losses reported in the allowance for loancredit losses. Within each portfolio segment, the Company monitors and assesses credit risk based on the risk characteristics of each of the following loan classes: single family and home equity and other loans within the consumer loan portfolio segment and non-owner occupied commercial real estate, multifamily, construction/land development, owner occupied commercial real estate and commercial business loans within the commercial loan portfolio segment.

Loans in the amount of $1.93$1.88 billion and $2.162.01 billion at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively, were pledged to secure borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") as part of our liquidity management strategy. Additionally, loans totaling $449.6$430.0 million and $502.7$490.7 million at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively, were pledged to secure borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank. The FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank do not have the right to sell or re-pledge these loans.


Credit Risk Concentrations


Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of customers are engaged in similar business activities or activities in the same geographic region, or when they have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions.


Loans held for investment are primarily secured by real estate located in the Pacific Northwest, California and Hawaii. At March 31, 20192020, wethe Company had concentrationsone concentration representing 10% or more of the total portfolio by state and property type for the loan classesclass of single family and multifamily within the statesstate of Washington and California, which represented 12.5% and 10.2%14.9% of the total portfolio, respectively.portfolio. At December 31, 2018,2019, we had concentrations representing 10% or more of the total portfolio by state and property type for the loan classes of single family and multifamily within the states of Washington and California, which represented 13.1%10.7% and 10.2%12.2% of the total portfolio, respectively.


Credit Quality

Management considers the level of allowance for loanof credit losses to be appropriate to cover credit losses inherentexpected over the life of the loans within the loans held for investment portfolio as of March 31, 2019. 2020. The cumulative loss rate used as the basis for the estimate of credit losses is comprised of the Bank’s historical loss experience and eight qualitative factors for current and forecasted periods.
Management applied an overlay to reallocate the results of the qualitative factors to consider the levels of commercial COVID-19 related forbearance requests in the final determination for the ACL pool reserves. No other changes have been made to the allowance for credit loss model methodology for the three months ending March 31, 2020.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2020 the historical expected loss rates decreased from January 1, 2020 implementation due to minimal losses and our stable portfolio credit composition. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Qualitative Factors increased significantly due to the forecasted impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of March 31, 2020, the Bank expects that the markets in which it operates will have deterioration in collateral values and economic outlook over the two-year forecast period, with negative risk factors peaking in the first year and modestly improving in the second year.
In addition to the allowance for loancredit losses, the Company maintains a separate allowance for credit losses related toon unfunded loan commitments, and this amount is included in accounts payable and other liabilities on our consolidated statements of financial condition. Collectively, these allowances are referred to as the allowance for credit losses.losses including unfunded commitments. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $2.3 million at March 31, 2020 compared to $1.4 million at both March 31, 2019 and2019.
The Bank has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the allowance for credit losses. Accrued interest on loans held for investment was $18.7 million at March 31, 2018.2020 and was reported in Other Assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial condition.

Impaired Loans
Loans are classified as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due, in accordance with the terms of the original loan agreement, without unreasonable delay. This includes all loans classified as nonaccrual and troubled debt restructurings. Impaired loans are risk rated for internal and regulatory rating purposes, but presented separately for clarification.

Credit Quality Indicators

Management regularly reviews loans in the portfolio to assess credit quality indicators and to determine appropriate loan classification and grading in accordance with applicable bank regulations. The Company's risk rating methodology assigns risk

ratings ranging from 1 to 10, where a higher rating represents higher risk. The Company differentiates its lending portfolios into homogeneous loans and non-homogeneous loans.

The 10 risk rating categories can be generally described by the following groupings for non-homogeneous loans:

Pass. We have five passPer the Company's policies, most commercial loans pools are non-homogenous and are regularly assessed for credit quality. The Company’s risk rating methodology assigns risk ratings which represent a levelfrom 1 to 10. For purposes of credit quality that rangesCECL, loans are sub-pooled according to the following AQR Ratings:
AQR 1-4: These loans range from no well-defined deficiency or weaknessminimal to some noted weakness. However, the risk of default on any loan classified as pass is expected to be remote. The five pass risk ratings are described below:

Minimal Risk. A minimal risk loan, risk rated 1-Exceptional, is to a borrower of the highest quality. The borrower has an unquestioned ability to produce consistent profits and service all obligations and can absorb severe market disturbances with little or no difficulty.

Low Risk. A low risk loan, risk rated 2-Superior, is similar in characteristics to a minimal risk loan. Balance sheet and operations are slightly more prone to fluctuations within the business cycle; however, debt capacity and debt service coverage remains strong. The borrower will have a strong demonstrated ability to produce profits and absorb market disturbances.

Modest Risk. A modest risk loan, risk rated 3-Excellent, is a desirable loan with excellent sources of repayment and no currently identifiable risk associated with collection. The borrower exhibits a very strong capacity to repay the loan in accordance with the repayment agreement. The borrower may be susceptible to economic cycles, but will have cash reserves to weather these cycles.

Average Risk. An average risk loan, risk rated 4-Good, is an attractive loan withcharacteristics and are pooled together. They exhibit sound sources of repayment and evidence no material collection or repayment weakness evident. The borrower has anweakness.
AQR 5: These loans have acceptable capacity to pay in accordance with the agreement. The borrower is susceptible to economic cycles and more efficient competition, but should have modest reserves sufficient to survive all but the most severe downturns or major setbacks.

Acceptable Risk. An acceptable risk loan, risk rated 5-Acceptable, is a loan withrisk. While lower than average but still acceptable credit risk. These borrowers may have higher leverage, less certain but viable repayment sources, have limited financial reserves and may possessrisk, weaknesses that can be adequately mitigated throughby structure, collateral, structural or credit enhancement. The borrower is susceptible to economic cycles and is
AQR 6: These loans meet the regulatory definition of “Watch”. They are considered satisfactory but have less resilient to negative market forces or financial events. Reserves may be insufficient to survive a modest downturn.

Watch. A watch loan, risk rated 6-Watch, is still pass-rated, but represents the lowest level ofthan acceptable risk due to an emerging risk elementelements or declining performance trend. Watch ratingsperformance. Loans in this category are expected to be temporary, with issues resolved or manifested to the extent that a higher or lower rating would be appropriate. The borrower should have a plausible plan, with reasonable certainty of success, to correct the problems in a short period of time. Borrowers rated watch aregenerally characterized by elements of uncertainty such as:and require close management attention.
The borrower may be experiencing declining operating trends, strained cash flows or less-than anticipated financial performance. Cash flow should still be adequate to cover debt service, andAQR 7: These loans meet the negative trends should be identified as beingregulatory definition of a short-term or temporary nature.
The borrower may have experienced a minor, unexpected covenant violation.
The borrower may be experiencing tight working capital or have a cash cushion deficiency.
A loan may also be a watch if financial information is late, there is a documentation deficiency, the borrower has experienced unexpected management turnover, or if it faces industry issues that, when combined with performance factors create uncertainty in its future ability to perform.
Delinquent payments, increasing and material overdraft activity, request for bulge and/or out-of-formula advances may be an indicator of inadequate working capital and may suggest a lower rating.
Failure of the intended repayment source to materialize as expected, or renewal of a loan (other than cash/marketable security secured or lines of credit) without reduction are possible indicators of a watch or worse risk rating.

Special“Special Mention.A special mention loan, risk rated 7-Special Mention, has potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loans or the institution's credit position at some future date. Loans in this category” They contain unfavorable characteristics and are generally undesirable. TheyLoans in this category are currently protected but are potentially weak and constitute an undue andor unwarranted credit risk, but not torisk.
AQR 8: These loans meet the pointregulatory definition of a substandard classification. A special mention loan has potential weaknesses, which if not checked or corrected, weaken the loan or inadequately protect the Company's position at some future date. Such weaknesses include:
Performance is poor or significantly less than expected. There may be a temporary debt-servicing deficiency or inadequate working capital as evidenced by a cash cushion deficiency, but not to the extent that repayment is compromised. Material violation of financial covenants is common.
Loans with unresolved material issues that significantly cloud the debt service outlook, even though a debt servicing deficiency does not currently exist.
Modest underperformance or deviation from plan for real estate loans where absorption of rental/sales units is necessary to properly service the debt as structured. Depth of support for interest carry provided by owner/guarantors may mitigate and provide for improved rating.
This rating may be assigned when a loan officer is unable to supervise the credit properly, or when there is an inadequate loan agreement, an inability to control collateral, failure to obtain proper documentation, or any other deviation from prudent lending practices.
Unlike a substandard credit, there should be a reasonable expectation that these temporary issues will be corrected within the normal course of business, rather than through liquidation of assets, and in a reasonable period of time.

Substandard. A substandard loan, risk rated 8-Substandard, is“Substandard”. They are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified mustThey have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the loan. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard loans, does not have to exist in individual loans classified substandard. Loans are classified as substandard when theyand have unsatisfactory characteristics causing unacceptable levels of risk. A substandard loan normally has one or more well-defined weaknesses that could jeopardize repayment of the loan. The likely need to liquidate assets to correct the problem, rather than repayment from successful operations, is the key distinction between special mention and substandard. The following are examples of well-defined weaknesses:

Cash flow deficiencies or trends are of a magnitude to jeopardize current and future payments with no immediate relief. A loss is not presently expected, however the outlook is sufficiently uncertain to preclude ruling out the possibility.
The borrower has been unable to adjust to prolonged and unfavorable industry or economic trends.
Material underperformance or deviation from plan for real estate loans where absorption of rental/sales units is necessary to properly service the debt and risk is not mitigated by willingness and capacity of owner/guarantor to support interest payments.
Management character or honesty has become suspect. This includes instances where the borrower has become uncooperative.
Due to unprofitable or unsuccessful business operations, some form of restructuring of the business, including liquidation of assets, has become the primary source of loan repayment. Cash flow has deteriorated, or been diverted, to the point that sale of collateral is now the Company's primary source of repayment (unless this was the original source of repayment). If the collateral is under the Company's control and is cash or other liquid, highly marketable securities and properly margined, then a more appropriate rating might be special mention or watch.
The borrower is involved in bankruptcy proceedings where collateral liquidation values are expected to fully protect the Company against loss.
There is material, uncorrectable faulty documentation or materially suspect financial information.are two risk class ratings that are excluded from pooling: AQR 9 defined as “Doubtful” and AQR 10 defined as “Loss”. The Bank has not had any AQR 9 loans to date and any loans rated AQR 10 have been charged-off in their entirety.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful, risk rated 9-Doubtful, have all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors, which may work towards strengthening the loan, classification as a loss (and immediate charge-off) is deferred until more exact status may be determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, liquidation procedures, capital injection, and perfection of liens on additional collateral and refinancing plans. In certain circumstances, a doubtful rating will be temporary, while the Company is awaiting an updated collateral valuation. In these cases, once the collateral is valued and appropriate margin applied, the remaining uncollateralized portion will be charged-off. The remaining balance, properly margined, may then be upgraded to substandard, however must remain on non-accrual.

Loss. Loans classified as loss, risk rated 10-Loss, are considered uncollectible and of such little value that the continuance as an active Company asset is not warranted. This rating does not mean that the loan has no recovery or salvage value, but rather that the loan should be charged-off now, even though partial or full recovery may be possible in the future.

Homogeneous loans maintain their original risk rating until they are greater than 30 days past due, and risk rating reclassification is based primarily on the past due status of the loan. The risk rating categories can be generally described by the following groupings for commercial and commercial real estate homogeneous loans:

Watch. AQR 6: These loans meet the regulatory definition of “Watch”. A homogeneous watch loan, risk rated 6, is 60-89 days past due from the required payment date at month-end.

SpecialAQR 7: These loans meet the regulatory definition of “Special Mention.A homogeneous special mention loan, risk rated 7, is less than 90 days past due from the required payment date at month-end.

Substandard. AQR 8: These loans meet the regulatory definition of “Substandard”. A homogeneous substandard loan, risk rated 8, is more than 90 days or more past due from the required payment date at month-end.

Loss. AQR 10: These loans meet the regulatory definition of “Loss”. A homogeneous loss loan, risk rated 10, is 120 days or more past due from the required payment date for non-real estate secured closed-end loans or 180 days or more past due from the required payment date for open-end loans and all loans secured by real estate. These loans are generally charged offcharged-off in the month in which the applicable time period elapses.



The risk rating categories can be generally described by the following groupings for residential and home equity and other homogeneous loans:

Watch. AQR 6: These loans meet the regulatory definition of “Watch”. A homogeneous retail watch loan, risk rated 6, is 60-89 days past due from the required payment date at month-end.


Substandard. AQR 8: These loans meet the regulatory definition of “Substandard”. A homogeneous retail substandard loan, risk rated 8, is 90-180more than 90 days or more past due from the required payment date at month-end.

Loss. AQR 10: These loans meet the regulatory definition of “Loss”. A homogeneous retail loss loan, risk rated 10, is past due 180 cumulative days or more from the contractual due date. These loans are generally charged-off in the month in which the 180 day period elapses.


Residential and home equity loans modified in a troubled debt restructurerestructuring are considered homogeneous unless the modification was an interest rate concession or payment modification with a significant balloon and the concession modification period has not considered homogeneous.been completed. The risk rating classification for such loans are based on the non-homogeneous definitions noted above.

Collateral Dependent Loans
A loan is collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, and December 31, 2018, nonerepayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the Company'scollateral. In these cases, expected credit loss is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the loan and the fair value of the collateral. The fair value of the collateral is adjusted for the estimated costs to sell if repayment or satisfaction of a loan is dependent on the sale (rather than only on the operation) of the collateral.
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent loans were rated Doubtful or Loss. For a detailed discussion on credit quality, see Note 5, Loansby loan sub-class and Credit Quality, within our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.collateral type. All collateral dependent loans are reviewed quarterly and loan amounts are charged down to fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell if the loss is confirmed and the expected repayment is from the sale of the collateral. If the expected repayment of the loan is from the operation of the collateral, then the cost of sale is not deducted from the fair value of the collateral.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans
Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when the full and timely collection of principal and interest is doubtful, generally when the loan becomes 90 days or more past due for principal or interest payment or if part of the principal balance has been charged off. Loans whose repayments are insured by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration ("VA") are generally maintained on accrual status even if 90 days or more past due.

The CARES Act provides temporary relief from the accounting and disclosure requirements for TDRs for certain loan modifications that are the result of a hardship that is related, either directly or indirectly, to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, interagency guidance issued by federal banking regulators and endorsed by the FASB staff has indicated that borrowers who receive relief are not experiencing financial difficulty if they meet the following qualifying criteria:

The modification is in response to the National Emergency;
The borrower was current at the time the modification program was implemented; and
The modification is short-term

We have elected to apply temporary relief under Section 4013 of the CARES Act to certain eligible short-term modifications and therefore will not treat qualifying loan modifications as TDRs for accounting or disclosure purposes. Additionally, eligible short-term loan modifications subject to the practical expedient in the interagency guidance will also not be treated as TDRs for accounting or disclosure purposes if they qualify. 

As of May 5, 2020, the Company had granted a forbearance on 393 loans with an outstanding balance of $223.0 million. The Company had 173 additional forbearance requests representing $204.0 million in outstanding balances that were in process.

In addition, the regulatory agencies have also provided guidance regarding credit risk ratings, delinquency reporting and nonaccrual status.  

The Bank will exercise judgment in determining the risk rating for impacted borrowers and will not automatically adversely classify credits that are affected by COVID-19. The Bank also will not designate loans with deferrals granted due to COVID-19 as past due because of the deferral. Due to the short-term nature of the forbearance and other relief programs we are offering as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect that borrowers granted relief under these programs will generally not be

The following table presents loans that were modified as TDRs within the previous 12 months and subsequently re-defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. A TDR loan is considered re-defaulted when it becomes doubtful that the objectives of the modifications will be met, generally when a consumer loan TDR becomes 60 days or more past due on principal or interest payments or when a commercial loan TDR becomes 90 days or more past due on principal or interest payments.

NOTE 6–DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES:


To reduce the risk of significant interest rate fluctuations on the value of certain assets and liabilities, such as certain mortgage loans held for sale or MSRs, the Company utilizes derivatives, such as forward sale commitments, futures, option contracts, interest rate swaps and interest rate swaptions as risk management instruments in its hedging strategy. Derivative transactions

are measured in terms of notional amount, which is not recorded in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The notional amount is generally not exchanged and is used as the basis for interest and other contractual payments.

WeThe Company held no0 derivatives designated as a fair value, cash flow or foreign currency hedge instrument at March 31, 20192020 or December 31, 2018.2019. Derivatives are reported at their respective fair values in the other assets or accounts payable and other liabilities line items on the consolidated statements of financial condition, with changes in fair value reflected in current period earnings.


As permitted under U.S. GAAP, the Company nets derivative assets and liabilities when a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists between the Company and the derivative counterparty, which are documented under industry standard master agreements and credit support annexes. The Company's master netting agreements provide that following an uncured payment default or other event of default, the non-defaulting party may promptly terminate all transactions between the parties and determine a net amount due to be paid to, or by, the defaulting party. An event of default may also occur under a credit support annex if a party fails to make a collateral delivery (which remains uncured following applicable notice and grace periods). The Company's right of offset requires that master netting agreements are legally enforceable and that the exercise of rights by the non-defaulting party under these agreements will not be stayed or avoided under applicable law upon an event of default, including bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.


The collateral used under the Company's master netting agreements is typically cash, but securities may be used under agreements with certain counterparties. Receivables related to cash collateral that has been paid to counterparties is included in other assets on the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition. Payables related to cash collateral that has been received from counterparties is included in accounts payable and other liabilities. Interest is owed on amounts received from counterparties and we earn money on cash paid to counterparties. Any securities pledged to counterparties as collateral remain on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Refer to Note 3, Investment Securities, for further information on securities collateral pledged. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018,2020 the Company did not hold anyhad liabilities of $16.7 million in cash collateral received from counterparties and receivables of $17.7 million in cash collateral paid to counterparties. At December 31, 2019 the cash collateral received from counterparties was $15.2 million with $2.9 million paid to counterparties under derivative transactions.


In addition, the Company 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 rates. Under these agreements, the Company enters into a variable-rate loan agreement with a customer in addition to a swap agreement. This swap agreement effectively converts the customer’s variable rate loan into a fixed rate. The Company then enters into a corresponding swap agreement with a third-party in order to offset its exposure on the variable and fixed components of the customer loan agreement. As the interest rate swap agreements with the customers and third parties are not designated as hedges under the Derivatives and Hedging topic of the FASB ASC 815, the instruments are marked to market in earnings. The notional amount of open interest rate swap agreements at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $193.3 million and $144.1 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, there were $494 thousand and $10 thousand mark-to-market losses recorded to “Other” noninterest income in our consolidated statements of operations.

For further information on the policies that govern derivative and hedging activities, see Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 11, 12, Derivatives and Hedging Activities, within our 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company has made representations and warranties that the loans sold meet certain requirements. The Company may be required to repurchase mortgage loans or indemnify loan purchasers due to defects in the origination process of the loan, such as documentation errors, underwriting errors and judgments, appraisal errors, early payment defaults and fraud. For further information on the Company's mortgage repurchase liability, see Note 8, Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies, of thisQuarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Company has agreements with certain investors to advance scheduled principal and interest amounts on delinquent loans. Advances are also made to fund the foreclosure and collection costs of delinquent loans prior to the recovery of reimbursable amounts from investors or borrowers. Advances of $3.33.9 million and $2.5 million were recorded in other assets as of March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.


When the Company has the unilateral right to repurchase Ginnie Mae pool loans it has previously sold (generally loans that are more than 90 days past due), the Company records the loan on its consolidated statement of financial condition. At March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, delinquent or defaulted mortgage loans currently in Ginnie Mae pools that the Company has recognized on its consolidated statements of financial condition totaled $10.49.1 million and $37.7$9.4 million, respectively, with a corresponding offsetting amount recorded within accounts payable and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition. The recognition of previously sold loans does not impact the accounting for the previously recognized MSRs.

All MSRs are initially measured and recorded at fair value at the time loans are sold. Single family MSRs are subsequently carried at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in earnings in the periods in which the changes occur, while multifamily and SBA MSRs are subsequently carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.


The fair value of MSRs is determined based on the price that would be received to sell the MSRs in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company determines fair value using a valuation model that calculates the net present value of estimated future cash flows. Estimates of future cash flows include contractual servicing

fees, ancillary income and costs of servicing, the timing of which are impacted by assumptions, primarily expected prepayment speeds and discount rates, which relate to the underlying performance of the loans.


The initial fair value measurement of MSRs is adjusted up or down depending on whether the underlying loan pool interest rate is at a premium, discount or par. Key economic assumptions used in measuring the initial fair value of capitalized single family MSRs were as follows.

Key economic assumptions and the sensitivity of the current fair value for single family MSRs to immediate adverse changes in those assumptions were as follows.

(1)Represents the expected lifetime average.


These sensitivities are hypothetical and subject to key assumptions of the underlying valuation model. As the table above demonstrates, the Company's methodology for estimating the fair value of MSRs is highly sensitive to changes in key assumptions. For example, actual prepayment experience may differ and any difference may have a material effect on MSR fair value. Changes in fair value resulting from changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the MSRs is calculated without changing any other assumption; in reality, changes in one factor may be associated with changes in another (for example, decreases in market interest rates may provide an incentive to refinance; however, this may also indicate a slowing economy and an increase in the unemployment rate, which reduces the number of borrowers who qualify for refinancing), which may magnify or counteract the sensitivities. Thus, any measurement of MSR fair value is limited by the conditions existing and assumptions made as of a particular point in time. Those assumptions may not be appropriate if they are applied to a different point in time.


In March 2019, the Company successfully closed and settled two2 sales of the rights to service an aggregate of $14.26 billion in total unpaid principal balance of single family mortgage loans serviced for Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae and Freddie Mac representing 71% of HomeStreet's total single family mortgage loans serviced for others portfolio as of December 31, 2018. These sales resulted in a $774 thousand pre-tax increase in incomegain from discontinued operations duringfor the quarter. The Company plans to finalize the servicing transfer for these loans in the second and third quarters ofthree months ended March 31, 2019. In connection with the MSR sales, the Company has an obligation to reimburse the buyers for loan prepayments 60 days beyond the sales date and has established a reserve forFor more information, see Note 2, Discontinued Operations on this expected amount.

NOTE 8–COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES:


Commitments


Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers in accordance with predetermined contractual provisions. These commitments may be for specific periods or contain termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee by the borrower. The total amount of unused commitments does not necessarily represent future credit exposure or cash requirements in that commitments may expire without being drawn upon.


The Company makes certain unfunded loan commitments as part of its lending activities that have not been recognized in the Company's financial statements. These include commitments to extend credit made as part of the Company's lending activities on loans the Company intends to hold in its loans held for investment portfolio. The aggregate amount of these unrecognized unfunded loan commitments existing at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 was $43.2$12.1 million and $33.852.8 million, respectively.


In the ordinary course of business, the Company extends secured and unsecured open-end loans to meet the financing needs of its customers. UndistributedThese commitments include unused consumer portfolio lines of $467.2 million and $485.1 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and commercial portfolio lines $672.2 million and $722.2 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Within the commercial portfolio, undistributed construction loan commitments,proceeds, where the Company has an obligation to advance funds for construction progress payments, were $541.1$420.0 million and $607.2$435.2 million at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Unused home equity and commercial banking funding lines totaled $718.7 million and $662.1 million at March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company has recorded an allowance for credit losses on loan commitments, included in accounts payable and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition, of $1.4$2.3 million and $1.1 million at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.


The Company is in certain agreements to invest in qualifying small businesses and small enterprises, as well as low income housing tax credit partnerships and a tax-exempt bond partnership that have not been recognized in the Company's financial statements. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $26.4 million and $23.5 million, respectively, of future commitments to invest in these enterprises.

Guarantees


In the ordinary course of business, the Company sells and services loans through the Fannie Mae Multifamily DUS® program and shares in the risk of loss with Fannie Mae under the terms of the DUS® contracts (pari passu loss sharing agreement). Under such agreements, the Company and Fannie Mae share losses on a pro rata basis, where the Company is responsible for losses incurred up to one-third of principal balance on each loan and with two-thirds of the loss covered by Fannie Mae. For loans that have been sold through this program, a liability is recorded for this loss sharing arrangement under the accounting guidance for guarantees. As of March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the total unpaid principal balance of loans sold under this program was $1.44$1.59 billion and $1.46$1.55 billion, respectively. The Company's reserve liability related to this arrangement totaled $2.7$2.9 million and $2.5$2.8 million at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. There were no0 actual losses incurred under this arrangement during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018.2019.


Mortgage Repurchase Liability


In the ordinary course of business, the Company sells residential mortgage loans to GSEs and other entities. In addition, the Company pools FHA-insured and VA-guaranteed mortgage loans into Ginnie Mae Fannie Mae and Freddie MacSecurities guaranteed mortgage-backed securities. The Company has made representations and warranties that the loans sold meet certain requirements. The Company may be required to repurchase mortgage loans or indemnify loan purchasers due to defects in the origination process of the loan, such as documentation errors, underwriting errors and judgments, early payment defaults and fraud.


These obligations expose the Company to mark-to-market and credit losses on the repurchased mortgage loans after accounting for any mortgage insurance that we may receive. Generally, the maximum amount of future payments the Company would be required to make for breaches of these representations and warranties would be equal to the unpaid principal balance of such loans that are deemed to have defects that were sold to purchasers plus, in certain circumstances, accrued and unpaid interest on such loans and certain expenses.


The Company does not typically receive repurchase requests from the FHA or VA. As an originator of FHA-insured or VA-guaranteed loans, the Company is responsible for obtaining the insurance with FHA or the guarantee with the VA. If loans are later found not to meet the requirements of FHA or VA, through required internal quality control reviews or through agency audits, the Company may be required to indemnify FHA or VA against losses. The loans remain in Ginnie Mae pools unless and

until they are repurchased by the Company. In general, once an FHA or VA loan becomes 90 days past due, the Company repurchases the FHA or VA residential mortgage loan to minimize the cost of interest advances on the loan. If the loan is cured through borrower efforts or through loss mitigation activities, the loan may be resold into aanother Ginnie Mae pool. The Company's liability for mortgage loan repurchase lossesliability incorporates probable losses associated with such indemnification.


The total unpaid principal balance of loans sold on a servicing-retained basis that were subject to the terms and conditions of these representations and warranties totaled $6.14$6.84 billion and $20.24$7.10 billion as of March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. At March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company had recorded a mortgage repurchase liability for loans sold on a servicing-retained and servicing-released basis, included in accounts payable and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition, of $3.3$2.5 million and $3.1$2.9 million, respectively.


Contingencies


In the normal course of business, the Company may have various legal claims and other similar contingent matters outstanding for which a loss may be realized. For these claims, the Company establishes a liability for contingent losses when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. For claims determined to be reasonably possible but not probable of resulting in a loss, there may be a range of possible losses in excess of the established liability. At March 31, 2019,2020, we reviewed our legal claims and determined that there were no0 material claims that were considered to be probable or reasonably possible of resulting in a material loss. As a result, the Company did not have any material amounts reserved for legal claims as of March 31, 2019.2020.



NOTE 9–FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT:


For a further discussion of fair value measurements, including information regarding the Company's valuation methodologies and the fair value hierarchy, see Note 18, 19, Fair Value Measurement within our 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Valuation Processes
The Company has various processes and controls in place to ensure that fair value measurements are reasonably estimated. The Finance Committee of the Board provides oversight and approves the Company's Asset/Liability Management Policy ("ALMP"). The Company's ALMP governs, among other things, the application and control of the valuation models used to measure fair value. On a quarterly basis, the Company's Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") and the Finance Committee of the Board review significant modeling variables used to measure the fair value of the Company's financial instruments, including the significant inputs used in the valuation of single family MSRs. Additionally, ALCO periodically obtains an independent review of the MSR valuation process and procedures, including a review of the model architecture and the valuation assumptions. The Company obtains an MSR valuation from an independent valuation firm monthly to assist with the validation of the fair value estimate and the reasonableness of the assumptions used in measuring fair value.


The Company's real estate valuations are overseen by the Company's appraisal department, which is independent of the Company's lending and credit administration functions. The appraisal department maintains the Company's appraisal policy and recommends changes to the policy subject to approval by the Company's Loan Committee and the Credit Committee of the Board. The Company's appraisals are prepared by independent third-party appraisers and the Company's internal appraisers. Single family appraisals are generally reviewed by the Company's single family loan underwriters. Single family appraisals with unusual, higher risk or complex characteristics, as well as commercial real estate appraisals, are reviewed by the Company's appraisal department.


We obtain pricing from third party service providers for determining the fair value of a substantial portion of our investment securities available for sale. We have processes in place to evaluate such third party pricing services to ensure information obtained and valuation techniques used are appropriate. For fair value measurements obtained from third party services, we monitor and review the results to ensure the values are reasonable and in line with market experience for similar classes of securities. While the inputs used by the pricing vendor in determining fair value are not provided, and therefore unavailable for our review, we do perform certain procedures to validate the values received, including comparisons to other sources of valuation (if available), comparisons to other independent market data and a variance analysis of prices by Company personnel that are not responsible for the performance of the investment securities.


Estimation of Fair Value
Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available. In cases where a quoted price for an asset or liability is not available, the Company uses valuation models to estimate fair value. These models incorporate inputs such as forward yield curves, loan prepayment assumptions, expected loss assumptions, market volatilities, and pricing spreads utilizing market-based inputs where readily available. The Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those that would be used by other market participants. However, imprecision in estimating unobservable inputs and other factors may result in these fair value measurements not reflecting the amount realized in an actual sale or transfer of the asset or liability in a current market exchange.

The following table summarizes the fair value measurement methodologies, including significant inputs and assumptions, and classification of the Company's assets and liabilities.

Level 3 Recurring Fair Value Measurements


The Company's Level 3 recurring fair value measurements consist of investment securities available for sale, single family MSRs, single family loans held for investment where fair value option was elected, certain single family loans held for sale, and interest rate lock and purchase loan commitments, which are accounted for as derivatives. For information regarding fair value changes and activity for single family MSRs during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 20182019, see Note 7, Mortgage Banking Operations of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


The fair value of interest rate lock commitments ("IRLCs")IRLCs considers several factors, including the fair value in the secondary market of the underlying loan resulting from the exercise of the commitment, the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan (referred to as the value of servicing) and the probability that the commitment will not be converted into a funded loan (referred to as a fall-out factor). The fair value of IRLCs on loans held for sale, while based on interest rates observable in the market, is highly dependent on the ultimate closing of the loans. The significance of the fall-out factor to the fair value measurement of an individual IRLC is generally highest at the time that the rate lock is initiated and declines as closing procedures are performed and the underlying loan gets closer to funding. The fall-out factor applied is based on historical experience. The value of servicing is impacted by a variety of factors, including prepayment assumptions, discount rates, delinquency rates, contractually specified servicing fees, servicing costs, and underlying portfolio characteristics. Because these inputs are not observable in market trades, the fall-out factor and value of servicing are considered to be level 3 inputs. The fair value of IRLCs decreases in value upon an increase in the fall-out factor and increases in value upon an increase in the value of servicing. Changes

in the fall-out factor and value of servicing do not increase or decrease based on movements in other significant unobservable inputs.


The Company recognizes unrealized gains and losses from the time that an IRLC is initiated until the gain or loss is realized at the time the loan closes, which generally occurs within 30-90 days. For IRLCs that fall out, any unrealized gain or loss is reversed, which generally occurs at the end of the commitment period. The gains and losses recognized on IRLC derivatives generally correlates to volume of single family interest rate lock commitments made during the reporting period (after adjusting for estimated fallout) while the amount of unrealized gains and losses realized at settlement generally correlates to the volume of single family closed loans during the reporting period.


The Company uses the discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of certain loans that have been transferred from held for sale to held for investment and single family loans held for sale when the fair value of the loans is not derived using observable market inputs. The key assumption in the valuation model is the implied spread to benchmark interest rate curve. The implied spread is not directly observable in the market and is derived from third party pricing which is based on market information from comparable loan pools. The fair value estimate of these certain single family loans that have been transferred from held for sale to held for investment and these certain single family loans held for sale isare sensitive to changes in the benchmark interest rate which might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.


The Company transferred certain loans from held for sale to held for investment. These loans were originated as held for sale loans where the Company had elected fair value option. The Company determined these loans to be level 3 recurring assets as the valuation technique included a significant unobservable input. The total amount of held for investment loans where fair value option election was made was $4.8$4.9 million and $4.1$3.5 million at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements


Certain assets held by the Company are not included in the tables above, but are measured at fair value on a nonrecurringquarterly basis. These assets include certain loans held for investment and other real estate owned that are carried at the lower of cost or fair value of the underlying collateral, less the estimated cost to sell. The estimated fair values of real estate collateral are generally based on internal evaluations and appraisals of such collateral, which use the market approach and income approach methodologies. All impaired loans are subject to an internal evaluation completed quarterly by management as part of the allowance process.


The fair value of commercial properties are generally based on third-party appraisals that consider recent sales of comparable properties, including their income-generating characteristics, adjusted (generally based on unobservable inputs) to reflect the general assumptions that a market participant would make when analyzing the property for purchase. The Company uses a fair value of collateral technique to apply adjustments to the appraisal value of certain commercial loans held for investment that are collateralized by real estate.


The Company uses a fair value of collateral technique to apply adjustments to the stated value of certain commercial loans held for investment that are not collateralized by real estate. During the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, the Company did not apply any adjustmentadjustments to the appraisal value of OREO.


Residential properties are generally based on unadjusted third-party appraisals. Factors considered in determining the fair value include geographic sales trends, the value of comparable surrounding properties as well as the condition of the property.


These commercial and residential appraisal adjustments include management assumptions that are based on the type of collateral dependent loan and may increase or decrease an appraised value. Management adjustments vary significantly depending on the location, physical characteristics and income producing potential of each individual property. The quality and volume of market information available at the time of the appraisal can vary from period-to-period and cause significant changes to the nature and magnitude of the unobservable inputs used. Given these variations, changes in these unobservable inputs are generally not a reliable indicator for how fair value will increase or decrease from period to period.


The following tables present assets that had changes in their recorded fair value during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 20182019 and assets held at the end of the respective reporting period.

NOTE 12–BUSINESS COMBINATIONS:

Recent Acquisition Activity
On March 25, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of a branch and its related deposits and loans in San Diego County, from Silvergate Bank along with its business lending team. The purchase accounting remains provisional for the valuation of the acquired loans and will be finalized later this year. The application of the acquisition method of accounting resulted in goodwill of $7.3$5.9 million. Pro forma financial information and certain other disclosures for this acquisition have not been presented because it is not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 14–REVENUE:

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606"). We elected to implement Topic 606 using the modified retrospective application, with the cumulative effect recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings at January 1, 2018. Due to immateriality, we had no cumulative effect to record. Since net interest income on financial assets and liabilities is excluded from this guidance, a significant majority of our revenues are not subject to the new guidance.


Our revenue streams that fall within the scope of Topic 606 are presented within noninterest income and are, in general, recognized as revenue as we satisfy our obligation to the customer. Most of the Company's contracts that fall within the scope of this guidance are contracts with customers that are cancelable by either party without penalty and are short-term in nature. These revenues include depositor and other retail and business banking fees, commission income, credit card fees and sales of other real estate owned. For the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, in scope revenue streams were approximately 2.0%2.4% and 2.8%2.0% of our total revenues, respectively. As this standard is immaterial to our consolidated financial statements, the Company has omitted certain disclosures in ASU 2014-09, including the disaggregation of revenue table. In-scope noninterest revenue streams are discussed below.


Depositor and other retail and business banking fees
Depositor and other retail banking fees consist of monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Company's performance obligation for these fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided.
Commission Income
Commission income primarily consists of revenue received on insurance policies and monthly investment management fees earned where the Company has acted as an intermediary between customers and the insurance carriers or investment advisers.
Under Topic 606, the commissions received at the inception of the policy should be deferred and recognized over the course of the policy. The company'sCompany's performance obligation for commissions is generally satisfied, and the related revenue generally recognized, over the course of the policy or over the period in which the services are provided, generallytypically monthly.

Credit Card Fees
The Company offers credit cards to its customers through a third party and earns a fee on each transaction and a fee for each new account activation on a net basis. Revenue is recognized on a one-month lag when cash is received for these fees which does not vary materially from recognizing revenue over the period the services are performed.
Sale of Other Real Estate Owned
A gain or loss, the difference between the cost basis of the property and its sale price, on other real estate owned is recognized when the performance obligation is met, which is at the time the property title is transferred to the buyer.






NOTE 15–RESTRUCTURING:


In 2019, we took steps to restructure our corporate operations in order to improve productivity and reduce total corporate expenses in light of a substantial reduction in the first quartersize and complexity of our Company and a lower growth plan going forward. Throughout 2019, we began executing this restructuring plan which included:

Simplifying the organizational structure by reducing management levels and management redundancy
Consolidating similar functions currently residing in multiple organizations
Renegotiating, where possible, our technology contracts
Identifying and eliminating redundant or unnecessary systems and services
Rationalizing staffing appropriate to recognize the significant changes in work volumes and company direction
Eliminating excess occupancy costs consistent with reduced personnel

The costs incurred include severance, retention, facility related charges and consulting fees. These restructuring activities and related costs will continue through 2020.

Also in 2019, in connection with the Board of Directors approved plan of exit or disposal of our stand-alone home loan-center based mortgage origination business and related mortgage servicing, the Company made a plan to restructurerestructured certain aspects of its infrastructure and back office operations. The Company plans to realign back office staffing,operations, which will resultresulted in certain indirect severance and other employee related costs and amendedimpairment charges related to certain system contractsfacilities and information systems. Cost directly related to the plan of exit or disposal are not included in order to improve the Company's efficiency. These employees and systems primarily supported the Company's legacy mortgage banking activities.restructuring charges, but rather are characterized as gain/loss on disposal of discontinued operations; for further information, see Note 2, Discontinued Operations.


Prior to this, in 2017, in response to changing market conditions and forecasts, we implemented restructuring plans in the Company's former Mortgage Banking segment to reduce operating costs and improve efficiency. In June 2018, the Company implemented another restructuring plan in the legacy Mortgage Banking segment to further reduce operating costs and improve profitability.

Restructuring charges primarily consist of facility-related costs and severance costs and are included in the occupancy and the salaries and related costs line items on our consolidated statement of operations forin the applicable periodperiods for continuing operations and are included in the income (loss) from discontinued operations on our consolidated statement of operations for the applicable periodperiods for discontinued operations.

The spread of the outbreak has caused significant disruptions in the processU.S. economy and has disrupted business and other financial activity in the areas in which the Company operates. The Company’s business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of substantially changing ourits employees and customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. If the global response to contain COVID-19 escalates further or is unsuccessful, the Company could experience a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. While there has been no material impact to the Company’s employees to date, COVID-19 could potentially create widespread business continuity issues for the Company in the future.
Congress, the President, and the Federal Reserve have taken several actions designed to cushion the economic fallout.

While it is not possible to know the full extent of the rightsimpacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations, including any additional mitigation measures that may be imposed to service an aggregate of $14.26 billion in total unpaid principal balances of single family mortgage loans for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, representing 71% of HomeStreet's total single family mortgage loans serviced for others portfolio as of December 31, 2018. The Company expects to finalize the servicing transfer for these loans in the second and third quarters of 2019 and is subservicing these loans until the transfer date.

This mortgage servicing rights sale combined with the expectation thatcurtail its spread, the Company would shortly enter into an agreementis disclosing potentially material items of which it is aware.
Financial position and results of operations
The Company’s net interest income could be reduced due to sell the HLCs led the Company's Board of Directors to adopt a Resolution of Exit or Disposal of HLC Based Mortgage Banking Operations on March 31, 2019, pursuant to whichCOVID-19. In keeping with guidance from regulators, the Company will sell or abandonis actively working with COVID-19 affected borrowers to defer their payments. While loans should continue to accrue interest during the assetsinitial deferral period, should the economic downturn persist causing the borrowers’ financial situation to deteriorate we would potentially need to reverse interest income and personnel associated withcould sustain credit losses on these loans. In such a scenario, interest income and provision for credit losses in future periods could be negatively impacted.  At this time, the HLC based business.

The Company does expect to continue to originate mortgages through its bank locations, online banking and affinity relationships, but will have substantially smaller single family lending operations integrated with the commercial and consumer banking business.repay in future periods.

The sale of a substantial portion of the Bank's single family mortgage servicing rights, the adoption of a Resolution of Exit or Disposal and the expected entry into an agreement to sell the HLCs constitutes a strategic shift from being a large-scale home-loan center based originator and servicer to a substantially smaller originator and servicer with a bank-focused product offering. This strategic shift, meets the requirements to be considered discontinued operations of the Company. The discontinued mortgage banking operations will be reported as held-for-sale or as discontinued operations and separately from continuing operations. The Mortgage Banking operating segment and reporting unit has been eliminated and the remaining personnel, assets and liabilities of the segment were incorporated into other operations of the Company.

Credit
The Company is working with customers directly affected by COVID-19. The Company is prepared to offer short-term assistance in accordance with banking regulatory guidelines. As anticipated, shortly after the enda result of the first fiscal quarter, on April 4, 2019current economic environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company entered into an agreementis engaging in more frequent communication with borrowers to sell the HLC-based mortgage origination business assets and transfer related personnel to Homebridge Financial Services, Inc. ("Homebridge"). Assets being sold to Homebridge include up to 50 HLC, satellite and fulfillment officesbetter understand their financial situation and the transferchallenges faced, allowing it to respond proactively as needs and issues arise. Should economic conditions worsen, the Company could experience further increases in its required allowance for credit losses and record additional provision for credit losses. It is possible that the Company’s asset quality measures could worsen at future measurement periods if the effects of related mortgage personnel. Homebridge has agreed toCOVID-19 pandemic are prolonged.

Goodwill Impairment Analysis

We evaluated goodwill for impairment at March 31, 2020 and based on our impairment assessment determined our goodwill assets were not impaired. COVID-19 could cause a purchasefurther and sustained decline in the Company’s stock price or the occurrence of the net book value of the acquired assets, which is approximately $4.9 million, plus a premium of $1.0 million, which may be reduced by up to $2.0 million for reimbursement by HomeStreet of certain transaction expenses incurred by Homebridge, as well as the assumption of certain home loan center and fulfillment office lease obligations. In the event Homebridge realizes a certain level of loan originations for the twelve months following the closing of the Asset Sale, HomeStreet will be entitled to an additional payment of up to $1.0 million at that time.
These HLCs, along with certain other mortgage banking related assets and liabilities that are expectedwhat management would deem to be sold or abandoned separately within one year, are classified as discontinued operationsa triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to perform another goodwill impairment test and result in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Conditionan impairment charge being recorded to earnings for that period.

The Company has implemented a business continuity plan that wereincludes a remote working strategy and a social distancing and sanitation plan. The Company does not sold as part of the Homebridge sale or the MSR sales described above and are related to previously sold loans, have been classified as continuing operations in the financial statements because they remain part of the Company's ongoing operations.
Included in net loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $9.6 million of loss on exit or disposal and restructuring-related expenses, net of tax, associated withanticipate incurring material additional costs related to the plan of exit or disposal. Of the estimated range of total loss on disposal and restructuring costs of approximately $19.5 million to $24.2 million reported in our press release dated April 4, 2019, we recognized $12.9 million in the first quarter of 2019. These costs include severance and benefit related expenses of $1.1 million; facilities, information technology and related expenses of $10.7 million; and $1.1 million of other expenses.
The recent decision to exit the HLC-based mortgage banking business was made only after we felt we had exhausted opportunities to improve performance, and aligns with our long-term strategic goal of reducing the impact of this cyclical and volatile earnings stream. Our remaining single family mortgage origination and servicing business will be reported within continuing operations, it will be substantially smaller, and will be focused on our retail deposit customers and regional markets, and positioned for ongoing profitability.

In connection with this series of transactions, we will be eliminating approximately 100 corporate overhead function positions prior to year-end 2019, primarily during the second and third quarters. We notified affected employees in April, in part to provide transparency and communicate proactively with our employees, but expect to retain enough employees to help us complete the process of closing the saleits continued deployment of the HLC-based business transferring servicingcontinuity plan.  No material operational failures or internal control challenges have been identified to date. The Company does not anticipate significant challenges to its ability to maintain its systems and winding down the remaining HLC-based mortgage operations not sold to Homebridge during those quarters.

We have also taken additional steps to reduce total corporate expensescontrols in light of the substantial reduction inmeasures the sizeCompany has taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The Company does not currently face any material resource constraints through the implementation of its business continuity plans, but staffing remains a risk if key employees or a large number of employees were to become ill and complexity of our operations.

Lending operations and accommodations to borrowers
In keeping with regulatory guidance to work with borrowers during this unprecedented situation and as outlined in the CARES Act, the Company has executed multiple assistance programs including a loan forbearance program for its lending customers that are adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.  As of May 5, 2020, the Company had granted a forbearance on 393 qualifying loans with an outstanding balance of $223.0 million. The Company had 173 additional forbearance requests representing $204.0 million in outstanding balances that were in the review process. In accordance with the CARES Act and interagency guidance issued in March 2020, loans granted forbearance due to COVID-19 are not currently considered troubled debt restructurings under US GAAP.
With the passage of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), the Company assisted its customers with applications for resources through the program. As of May 5, 2020, the Treasury Department advised that that all funds available under this program had been allocated. PPP loans have a two-year term and earn interest at 1%. Additionally, the Company will earn fees paid by the SBA based upon the sliding fee scale established for the PPP program. The Company believes that a significant portion of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. As of May 5, 2020, the Company has closed or approved with the SBA, 1,479 PPP loans representing $304.7 million in funding. It is the Company’s understanding that loans funded through the PPP program are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government.

its effects. In addition, due to exiting the HLC-based mortgage banking business,these uncertainties, we do not know if dividends will be declared in the first quarter of 2019 we also continued to grow our commercial and consumer banking network. We acquired a branch in San Marcos, San Diego County as well as the business lending team of Silvergate Bank in San Diego. We opened two de novo deposit branches in San Jose and Santa Clara, California, and as of March 31, 2019, after giving effect to those branch additions, we had 36 retail branches in the Puget Sound area, 19 retail branches in California and four retail branches each in both Hawaii and Oregon. Our branch network is primarily located in large metropolitan markets of the Western United States which promotes convenience for our customers, and together with the growth of commercial and consumer account deposits at our existing branches, helps build our market share. While we continue to be focused on the growth and strength of our commercial and consumer banking business, as of the second quarter of 2019 we have temporarily suspended future de novo deposit branch openings to slow our growth as we focus on our strategy of improved efficiency and profitability.periods.

As part of our ongoing balance sheet and capital management, in the first quarter of 2019, HomeStreet Bank executed two definitive agreements with different buyers to sell a significant portion of its single family MSRs. The series of transactions provided for the sale of the rights to service an aggregate of approximately $14.26 billion in total unpaid principal balance of single family mortgage loans serviced for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, which represented approximately 71% of HomeStreet’s total single family mortgage loans serviced for others as of December 31, 2018. In addition to increasing certain regulatory capital ratios, this action provided additional regulatory capital to support the continued growth of our commercial and consumer banking business and accelerate the diversification of the Company's net income.


The Company and the Bank remain above current "well-capitalized" regulatory minimums.




Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


Our significant accounting policies are fundamental to understanding our results of operations and financial condition because they require that we use estimates and assumptions that may affect the value of our assets or liabilities and financial results. Certain of these policies are critical because they require management to make subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These policies govern:
Allowance for LoanCredit Losses for Loans Held for Investment
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Single Family Mortgage Servicing Rights ("MSRs")


These policies and estimates are described in further detail in Part II, Item 7- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, within our 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K and Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies within this Form 10-Q.

Interest on Nonaccrual Loans


We do not include interest collected on nonaccrual loans in interest income. When we place a loan on nonaccrual status, we reverse the accrued but unpaid interest, which reduces interest income for the period in which the reversal occurs and we stop amortizing any net deferred fees (which are normally amortized over the life of the loan). Additionally, if interest is received on nonaccrual loans, the interest collected on the loan is recognized as an adjustment to the cost basis of the loan. The net decrease to interest income due to adjustments made for nonaccrual loans, including the effect of additional interest income that would have been recorded during the periodperiods if the loans had been accruing, waswere $457 thousand and $525 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and $332 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2018.respectively.

Net income, which includesincluded both continuing and discontinued operations, decreased fromincreased in the first quarter of 2018 primarily duethree months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the $9.6 million of loss on exit or disposal and restructuring-related expenses, net of tax, taken in the quarter.three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease is partially offset by a reduction in noninterest expense as a result of our cost savings initiatives and an increase in net interest income primarily due to growth in loans held for investment.

Net Income from Continuing Operations
Net income from continuing operations increased from the first quarter of 2018three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to an increase in net interest income. To a lesser extent, the increase also relates to an increase in noninterest income and a reduction in noninterest expense as a result of our 2017 and 2018 cost savings initiatives.
Net Income from Discontinued Operations
Net loss from discontinued operations was $6.8 million comparedrelated to the first quarter of 2018 net income of $4.1 million. This decrease is primarily due to $9.6 million, net of tax, in loss on exit or disposal and restructuring related expenses, a declinecharges taken in single family mortgage netthe first quarter of 2019 and an increase in gain on loan origination and sale activities primarily driven by the cyclical decline in mortgagerelated to higher commercial loan productionsales volume and the continuing reductions in our sales force. This decrease wasimproved margin on commercial loans. The increase is partially offset by reduced commissions on lower closed loan volume, savingsthe $14.0 million provision for credit losses.

Net Income from Continuing Operations

Net income from continuing operations increased in the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to $11.3 million after-tax, that was contributed by the Retained MB Business. In the comparative period, income and expense associated with lower headcountthe legacy MB Business was in discontinued operations. Excluding this impact, the improvement primarily relates to an increase in gain on loan origination and other savingssale activities related to our prior cost savings initiatives.higher commercial loan sales volume and improved margin on commercial loans. The increase is partially offset by the $14.0 million provision for credit losses.


Net Income from Discontinued Operations

We had no income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to a net loss of $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 due to the conclusion of discontinued operations activity and the impact from revenues and expenses associated with the Retained MB Business, which were reflected in continuing operations beginning April 1, 2019.

Net Interest Income


Our profitability depends significantly on net interest income, which is the difference between income earned on our interest-earning assets, primarily loans and investment securities, and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Our interest-bearing liabilities consist primarily of deposits and borrowed funds, including our outstanding trust preferred securities, senior unsecured notes and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB").


Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis for the first quarter of 20192020 was $50.4$46.3 million, an increasea decrease of $1.2$4.1 million, or 2.5%8.2%, from the first quarter of 2018.2019. The increasedecrease from 20182019 was primarily due to growth oflower balances and yields on loans held for investment. investment and loans held for sale due to lower loan origination volume resulting from the HLC business sale and higher amount of prepayments due to the reduction in market interest rates. This decrease was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on FHLB advances due to both a reduction in these advances and a decline in rates paid on the advances.

The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis for the first quarter of 20192020 decreased to 3.11%2.93% from 3.25%3.11% for the same period in 2018.2019. The flattening yield curve has adversely affected our netdecrease from 2019 was primarily due to the cost of funds not falling at the same rate as the yields on interest-earning assets with the substantial decline in market interest margin as a resultrates. The cost of interest-bearing deposits only declined 0.03% from last year primarily due to higher-rate time deposit accounts that were originated in the second and third quarters of 2019 and did not mature until the end of the first quarter of 2020 and the beginning of the second quarter of 2020. Additionally, the yield on investment securities declined 0.57% due primarily to the retrospective level yield amortization method that accelerated premium amortization on certain mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations that resulted from the decline in market interest rates. Also, our yield on cash and cash equivalents was adversely impacted by the cash collateral that we held from our derivative counterparties as we paid interest earning assets increasing more slowly thanon this cash collateral that reduced the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities, which are more closely tied to short-term interest rates as compared to our interest earning assets.yield on cash and cash equivalents during the quarter.


For the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, total average interest-earning assets increased $378.5decreased $218.8 million, or 6.2%3.4% from the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is primarily as a resultdue to lower loan origination volume resulting from the home loan center ("HLC') business sale and higher level of organic loan growth.prepayments due to the reduction in market interest rates.


Total interest income of $72.6$64.6 million on a tax equivalent basis in the first quarter of 2019 increased $10.22020 decreased $8.0 million, or 16.4%11.1%, from $62.4$72.6 million in the first quarter of 2018.2019. The increasedecrease was primarily the result of higherlower average balances and yields of loans held for investment, which increased $594.4decreased $155.5 million, or 12.8%,3.0% and from the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019, respectively.


Total interest expense in the first quarter of 2019 increased $9.02020 decreased $3.9 million, or 68.3%17.6% from $13.2$22.2 million in the first quarter of 2018.2019. The increasedecrease resulted from higher rates on interest-bearing deposits,lower FHLB advances average balances and wholesale deposits including brokered CDs as market interest rates rise.rates.



Provision for Credit Losses


As a result of the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, there is a lack of comparability in the both the reserves and provisions for credit losses for the periods presented. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented using the CECL methodology, while comparative information continues to be reported in accordance with the incurred loss methodology in effect for prior periods.

Our provision for credit losses was $14.0 million and $1.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, compared torespectively. The $14.0 million provision for credit losses of $750 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in the provision for credit losses from the first quarter of 20182020 was primarilyexclusively due to higher netthe forecasted impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our loan portfolio growthportfolio. As of March 31, 2020, we expect that the markets in which we operate will have some deterioration in both collateral values and lower net recoveries during the quarter.economic outlook over the two-year forecast period, with negative risk factors peaking in the first year and modestly improving in the second year.


The allowance for credit losses for loans held for investment are collectively evaluated considering eight qualitative factors (Q-Factors) for each loan pool, including changes in collateral values and economic conditions. The Q-Factors adjust the expected historical loss rates for current and forecasted conditions that are not incorporated into the historical loss information.

Management uses relevant available information from internal and external sources relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

In the first quarter 2020, the economic Q-Factor forecast was based on inputs from Moody’s economic scenarios released on March 27, 2020, which include COVID-19 pandemic effects. Final forecast inputs were based on Moody’s Baseline scenario. These results were compared to and consistent with results derived using forecast inputs from Moody’s Moderate Recession scenario.

Collateral Q-Factor forecast inputs were based on a combination of commercial real estate (“CRE”) forecasts provided by REIS, the Bank’s data provider for CRE market information, released on February 3, 2020 and residential real estate forecasts from Moody’s released on March 27, 2020. To determine final forecast inputs for commercial real estate collateral values, REIS’ baseline scenario was compared to two alternate COVID-19 pandemic scenarios. To determine final forecast inputs for residential real estate collateral values, Moody's baseline scenario was compared to an alternate moderate recession scenario. Final forecast inputs were based on Moody’s Baseline scenario, CRE were based on REIS' most severe pandemic scenario, and final forecast inputs for residential real estate.

Net recoveries were $123$29 thousand in the first three monthsquarter of 20192020 compared to net recoveries of $580$123 thousand in the first three months of 2018.same period in 2019. Overall, the allowance for loancredit losses (which excludes the allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments) was 0.80%1.14% and 0.81%0.80% of loans held for investment at March 31, 20192020 and March 31, 2018,2019, respectively.

The increases in noninterest income in the three months ended March 31, 20192020 compared to the same period in 2018 is2019 was primarily attributabledue to higher$22.4 million of noninterest income contributed by the Retained MB Business. In the comparative period, noninterest income associated with the legacy MB Business was in discontinued operations. Excluding this impact, noninterest income increased largely due to an increase in net gain on loan origination and sale activities fromrelated to an increase in non-Fannie Mae DUS® CREcommercial loan sales volume and profit margin on those commercial loan sales.

The decrease in loans serviced for others was primarily due to loan payoffs. Mortgage servicing fees collected in the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to the sales of mortgage servicing rights in March 2019. Our loans serviced for others portfolio was $8.43 billion at March 31, 2020 compared to $8.64 billion at December 31, 2019 and $7.57 billion at March 31, 2019.

The increase in loan servicing income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to positive single family MSR risk management results. Participants in the primary mortgage market, HomeStreet included, have responded to both capacity constraints created by the large volume surge and market uncertainty by substantially increasing gain on sale margins through price increases. This shift in mortgage industry pricing resulted in primary mortgage rates not declining to the same extent as secondary mortgage rates during the quarter, driving the positive variance between the change in fair value of our MSRs and its related hedges. The increase in loan servicing income, was partially offset by a decrease in single family servicing income primarily due to the sale of single family mortgages serviced for others with aggregate unpaid principal balance ("UPB") of $14.26 billion. We entered into two separate transactions with two different parties to sell these assets, both of which were settled onbillion in late March 29, 2019, and therefore these sales did not materially impact servicing income for the quarter. The assets sold in the first sale were comprised of mortgage servicing rights related to single family mortgage loans held by or pooled in securities guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with an aggregate UPB of approximately $9.89 billion, and the assets sold in the second sale were mortgage servicing rights related to single family mortgage loans pooled in Ginnie Mae mortgage backed securities with an aggregate UPB of approximately $4.37 billion. Mortgage servicing fees collected in the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased compared to the same period in 2018 primarily as a result of the sale of mortgage servicing rights in the second quarter of 2018. Our loans serviced for others portfolio was $7.57 billion at March 31, 2019 compared to $21.69 billion at December 31, 2018 and $24.62 billion at March 31, 2018.2019.

The decrease in loan servicing income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily due to a lower average UPB of loans serviced for others as a result of our sale of single family mortgage servicing rights in the second quarter of 2018 and lower risk management results. The lower risk management results were primarily driven by a more volatile interest rate environment, the continued flattening of the yield curve, and increased negative convexity cost.


MSR risk management results represent changes in the fair value of single family MSRs due to changes in model inputs and assumptions net of the gain/(loss) from derivatives economically hedging MSRs. The fair value of MSRs is sensitive to changes in interest rates, primarily due to the effect on prepayment speeds. MSRs typically increase in value when interest rates rise because rising interest rates tend to decrease mortgage prepayment speeds, and therefore increase the expected life of the net servicing cash flows of the MSR asset. Certain other changes in MSR fair value relate to factors other than interest rate changes and are generally not within the scope of the Company's MSR economic hedging strategy. These factors may include but are not limited to the impact of changes to the housing price index, prepayment model assumptions, the level of home sales activity, changes to mortgage spreads, valuation discount rates, costs to service and policy changes by U.S. government agencies.


Depositor and other retail banking fees for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decreased from2020 increased compared to the three months ended March 31, 20182019 primarily due to refundingan increase in the overpaymentcollection of certain consumer overdraft fees.

The decrease was offset by increases of $72.6 million, or 4.5%, and $117.5 million, or 6.1%, of business and consumer deposits. The increase was a result of competitive rates offered on CDscore deposits - checking, savings and money markets accounts as well as the implementation of a pro-active pricing strategy in connection with large balances of maturing CDs and rate sensitive CD products.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


In the normal course of business, we are a party to financial instruments that carry off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments (which include commitments to originate loans and commitments to purchase loans) include potential credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These transactions are designed to (1) meet the financial needs of our customers, (2) manage our credit, market or liquidity risks, (3) diversify our funding sources and/or (4) optimize capital.


For more information on off-balance sheet arrangements, including derivative counterparty credit risk, see the Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Commitments, Guarantees and Contingenciesdiscussions within Part II, Item 7- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as Note 13, 14, Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies in our 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 8, Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


Enterprise Risk Management


Like many financial institutions, we manage and control a variety of business and financial risks that can significantly affect our financial performance. Among these risks are credit risk; market risk, which includes interest rate risk and price risk; liquidity risk; and operational risk. We are also subject to risks associated with compliance/legal, strategic and reputational matters.
In March 2020 as the COVID 19 pandemic challenges began to unfold in earnest, management updated its enterprise wide risk assessment and risk monitoring reporting to overlay identified COVID-19 specific risks and mitigations to inform the Board and other constituents.  The Board and its various committees, specifically the Executive Committee, the Enterprise Risk Management Committee and the Credit Committee, are actively engaged in oversight of the heightened risks stemming from the pandemic, the mitigations put in place by management and to keep apprised of the status through regularly scheduled meetings and special meetings.  The management-level Executive Committee initiated daily meetings in March to be briefed by the Crisis Management Team, to discuss risks on a real time basis and to oversee the rollout and implementation of federal programs such as the CARES Act and regulatory guidance related to the COVID-19 pandemic.  These daily meetings will


continue until no longer deemed necessary.  Management level reporting is continuing to evolve and is being kept current on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.

For more information on how we manage these business, financial and other risks, see the discussion in "Enterprise Risk Management" within Part II, Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The increase from December 31, 2018 was primarily due to a downgrade of one SBA 504 construction loan of $4.7 million to nonaccrual regarding which construction is complete, the business is operating, and the underlying real estate is contracted for sale. We believe this loan is sufficiently collateralized to avoid potential losses.2019.

The Company had 346300 loan relationships classified as TDRs totaling $82.6$61.6 million at March 31, 20192020 with no related unfunded commitments. The Company had 343305 loan relationships classified as TDRs totaling $71.1$62.6 million at December 31, 20182019 with $15 thousand inno related unfunded commitments. TDR loans within the loans held for investment portfolio and the related reserves are included in the impaired loanallowance for credit losses tables above.

The CARES Act provides temporary relief from the accounting requirements for TDRs for certain loan modifications that are the result of a hardship that is related, either directly or indirectly, to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, interagency guidance issued by federal banking regulators and endorsed by the FASB staff has indicated that borrowers who receive relief are not experiencing financial difficulty if they meet the following qualifying criteria:

The modification is in response to the National Emergency;
The borrower was current at the time the modification program was implemented; and
The modification is short-term

We have elected to apply temporary relief under Section 4013 of the CARES Act to certain eligible short-term modifications and therefore will not treat qualifying loan modifications as TDRs for accounting or disclosure purposes. Additionally, eligible short-term loan modifications subject to the practical expedient in the interagency guidance will also not be treated as TDRs for accounting or disclosure purposes if they qualify.  Based on this, we do not expect the volume of TDRs to increase in the near term. However, there is a possibility that in the long run a meaningful number of the loans in our portfolio may ultimately be accounted for as a TDR in accordance with ASC Subtopic 310-40, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, or migrate to an adverse risk rating because of lingering impacts of an economic recession.


In addition, the regulatory agencies have also provided guidance regarding credit risk ratings, delinquency reporting and nonaccrual status.  

The Bank will exercise judgment in determining the risk rating for impacted borrowers and will not automatically adversely classify credits that are affected by COVID-19. The Bank also will not designate loans with deferrals granted due to COVID-19 as past due because of the deferral. Due to the short-term nature of the forbearance and other relief programs we are offering as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect that borrowers granted relief under these programs will generally not be reported as nonaccrual. However, we are currently evaluating our policy for interest income recognition for loans that receive forbearance or deferral as a result of a hardship related to COVID-19.

Since the start of the COVID-19 crisis we have received requests for loan payment forbearance from our borrowers. We evaluate each request to determine current need. We are evaluating all loan modifications executed for eligibility under Section 4013 of the CARES Act and other interagency guidance. As of May 5, 2020 we have received the following forbearance requests.

Loan Underwriting Standards


Our underwriting standards for single family and home equity loans require evaluating and understanding a borrower's credit, collateral and ability to repay the loan. Credit is determined based on how well a borrower manages their current and prior debts as documented by a credit report that provides credit scores and the borrower's current and past information about theirthe borrower's credit history. Collateral is based on the type and use of property, occupancy and market value, largely determined by property appraisals or evaluations in accordance with our appraisal policy. A borrower's ability to repay the loan is based on several factors, including employment, income, current debt, assets and level of equity in the property. We also consider loan-to-property value, anda debt-to-income ratios, amount of liquid financial reserves, loan amount and lien position in assessing whether to originate a loan. Single family and home equity borrowers are particularly susceptible to downturns in economic trends that negatively affect housing prices, demand and levels of unemployment.


For commercial, multifamily and construction loans, we consider the same factors with regard to the borrower and the guarantors. In addition, we evaluate liquidity, net worth, leverage, other outstanding indebtedness of the borrower, the amountquality and reliability of cash expected to flow through the borrower (including the outflow to other lenders) and our prior known experience with the borrower. We use this information to assess financial capacity, profitability and experience. Ultimate repayment of these loans is sensitive to interest rate changes, general economic conditions, liquidity and availability of long-term financing.


Additional considerations for commercial permanent loans secured by real estate:


Our underwriting standards for commercial permanent loans generally require that the loan-to-value ratio for these loans not exceed 75% of appraised value or discounted cash flow value, as appropriate, and that commercial properties attain debt coverage ratios (net operating income divided by annual debt servicing) of 1.25 or better.


Our underwriting standards for multifamily residential permanent loans generally require that the loan-to-value ratio for these loans not exceed 80% of appraised value, cost, or discounted cash flow value, as appropriate, and that multifamily residential properties attain debt coverage ratios of 1.15 or better. However, underwriting standards can be influenced by competition and other factors. We endeavor to maintain the highest practical underwriting standards while balancing the need to remain competitive in our lending practices.




Additional considerations for commercial construction loans secured by real estate:


We originate a variety of real estate construction loans. Underwriting guidelines for these loans vary by loan type but include loan-to-value limits, term limits, loan advance limits and pre-leasing requirements, as applicable.


Our underwriting guidelines for commercial real estate construction loans generally require that the loan-to-value ratio not exceed 75% and attain athe stabilized debt coverage ratio ofattain a 1.25 or better.

Our underwriting guidelines for multifamily residential construction loans generally require that the loan-to-value ratio not exceed 80% and attain athe stabilized debt coverage ratio ofattain a 1.20 or better.


Our underwriting guidelines for single family residential construction loans to builders generally require that the loan-to-value ratio not exceed 85%.


As noted above, underwriting standards can be influenced by competition and other factors. However, we endeavor to maintain the highest practical underwriting standards while balancing the need to remain competitive in our lending practices.



Liquidity and Capital Resources


Liquidity risk management is primarily intended to ensure we are able to maintain sources of cash to adequately fund operations and meet our obligations, including demands from depositors, draws on lines of credit and paying any creditors, on a timely and cost-effective basis, in various market conditions. Our liquidity profile is influenced by changes in market conditions, the composition of the balance sheet and risk tolerance levels. HomeStreet, Inc., HSC and the Bank have established liquidity guidelines and operating plans that detail the sources and uses of cash and liquidity.


HomeStreet, Inc., HSC and the Bank have different funding needs and sources of liquidity and separate regulatory capital requirements.


HomeStreet, Inc.


The main source of liquidity for HomeStreet, Inc. is proceeds from dividends from the Bank and HSC. HomeStreet, Inc. has raised capital through the issuance of common stock, senior debt and trust preferred securities. Additionally,In March 2020 we also have an availablecanceled our $30.0 million line of credit from which we can borrow up to $30.0 million. Atand at March 31, 2019,2020 we did not have an outstanding balance on this line of credit.


Historically, the main cash outflows have been distributions to shareholders, interest and principal payments to creditors and payments of operating expenses. HomeStreet, Inc.'s ability to pay dividends to shareholders depends substantially on dividends received from the Bank. We do not currently payIn January 2020, Our Board of Directors adopted a dividend policy for the consideration of regular quarterly cash dividends on shares of HomeStreet, Inc. common stock and our most recent specialdeclared a quarterly dividend to shareholders was declared duringfor the first quarter of 2014. We are generally deploying our capital toward strategic growth,

2020 at $0.15 per share, and at this timewas paid on February 21, 2020 to shareholders of record as of the close of market on February 5, 2020. In April 2020, our Board of Directors has not authorizeddeclared a quarterly dividend for the paymentsecond quarter of a dividend.2020 of $0.15 per share to be paid on May 20, 2020 to shareholders of record as of the close of market on May 4, 2020.


On April 4, 2019,In the first quarter of 2020, HomeStreet, Inc. announced aapproved two stock repurchase programprograms of up to $75.0$25.0 million and $10.0 million of our common stock. Repurchases may be made at management’s discretion from time to time in accordance with all applicable securities and other laws and regulations. The extent to which we repurchase our shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including liquidity, capital needs of the business, market conditions, regulatory requirements and other corporate considerations. The Bank approveddeclared a dividend payable to HomeStreet, Inc. of up to $75.0$35.0 million funded by a portion of the surplus capital created by the sales of mortgage servicing rights in the first quarter which will beas the primary source of liquidity to fund repurchases under this program, although repurchases may be funded from one or a combination of existing cash balances, free cash flow and other available liquidity sources. TheOn March 20, 2020 we suspended our $25 million stock repurchase program does not obligatewith $17.1 million in authorized purchases remaining, and withdrew the Company tosubsequent $10 million additional repurchase any minimum dollar amount or number of shares and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.authorization.


HomeStreet Capital Corporation


HomeStreet Capital generates positive cash flow from operations from its servicing fee income on the DUS® portfolio, net of its costs to service the DUS® portfolio. Additional uses are HomeStreet Capital's costs to purchase the servicing rights on new production from the Bank. Minimum liquidity and reporting requirements for DUS® lenders such as HomeStreet Capital are set

by Fannie Mae. HomeStreet Capital's liquidity management therefore consists of meeting Fannie Mae requirements and its own operational requirements.


HomeStreet Bank


The Bank's primary sources of funds include deposits, advances from the FHLBs, repayments and prepayments of loans, proceeds from the sale of loans and investment securities, interest from our loans and investment securities and capital contributions from HomeStreet, Inc. We have also raised short-term funds through the sale of securities under agreements to repurchase and federal funds purchased. While scheduled principal repayments on loans are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank uses the primary liquidity ratio as a measure of liquidity. The primary liquidity ratio is defined as net cash, short-term investments and other marketable assets as a percent of net deposits and short-term borrowings. At March 31, 2019,2020, our primary liquidity ratio was 19.1% compared to 19.4%18.7% at December 31, 2018.2019.


At March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Bank had available borrowing capacity of $690.2$748.3 million and $492.7$943.3 million, respectively, from the FHLB, and $280.1$245.4 million and $333.5$267.1 million, respectively, from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.

Cash Flows


For the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash increased by $9.1$14.6 million compared to a decreasean increase of $6.4$9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019. The following discussion highlights the major activities and transactions that affected our cash flows during these periods.


Cash flows from operating activities


The Company's operating assets and liabilities are used to support our lending activities, including the origination and sale of mortgage loans. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash of $14.0 million was used in operating activities, primarily from cash used to fund loans held for sale production exceeding cash proceeds from the sale of loans. We believe that cash flows from operations, available cash balances and our ability to generate cash through short-term debt are sufficient to fund our operating liquidity needs. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash of $12.2 million was used in operating activities primarily from the recognition of deferred taxes from the sale of mortgage servicing rights and the net fair value adjustment and gain on sale of loans held for sale partially offset by cash proceeds from the sale of loans exceeding cash used to fund loans held for sale production. We believe that cash flows from operations, available cash balances and our ability to generate cash through short-term debt are sufficient to fund our operating liquidity needs. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, net cash of $107.3 million was provided by operating activities primarily from proceeds from the sale of loans held for sale.


Cash flows from investing activities


The Company's investing activities primarily include available-for-sale securities and loans originated as held for investment. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash of $49.0 million was provided by investing activities, primarily due to $244.7 million of proceeds from sale of loans originated as held for investment, $33.8 million proceeds from the sale of investment securities and $34.6 million from principal repayments and maturities of investment securities, partially offset by $166.5 million purchase of investment securities and $98.0 million of cash used for the origination of portfolio loans net of principal repayments. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash of $62.4 million was provided by investing activities, primarily due to $166.3 million in proceeds from the sale of mortgage servicing rights, $148.6 million proceeds from proceedssale of loans originated as held for investment and $95.0 million proceeds from the sale of investment securities, partially offset by $337.2 million of cash used for the origination of portfolio loans net of principal repayments. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, net cash of $303.9 million was used in investing activities, primarily due to $275.1 million of cash used for the origination of portfolio loans net of principal repayments, $70.0 million of cash used for the purchase of investment securities, and $3.6 million used for the purchase of property and equipment, partially offset by $27.4 million from principal repayments and maturities of investment securities and $16.9 million proceeds from the sale of investment securities.


Cash flows from financing activities


The Company's financing activities are primarily related to customer deposits and net proceeds from FHLB advances. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash of $20.4 million was used in financing activities, primarily due to $117.0 million net repayments of FHLB advances, a $82.9 million reduction in deposits and $16.5 million from common stock repurchases. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash of $41.0 million was used in financing activities, primarily due to $333.0 million net repayments from FHLB advances, partially offset by $271.5 million of growth in deposits. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, net cash of $190.3 million was provided by financing activities, primarily due to $288.0 million of organic growth in deposits, partially offset by $127.5 million net repayments from FHLB advances.


Capital Management


In July 2013, federal banking regulators (including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") andHomeStreet Inc. is a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") adopted newand is subject to capital rules (as used in this section,adequacy requirements of the "Rules"). The Rules applyFederal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve. HomeStreet Bank, as a state-chartered, federally insured commercial bank, is subject to both depository institutions (such as the Bank) and their holding companies (such as the Company). The Rules reflect, in part, certain standards initially adoptedcapital requirements established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in December 2010 (which standardsFDIC.

The capital adequacy requirements are commonly referredquantitative measures established by regulation that require HomeStreet, Inc. and HomeStreet Bank to as "Basel III")maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital. The Federal Reserve requires HomeStreet Inc. to maintain capital adequacy that generally parallels the FDIC requirements. The FDIC requires the Bank to maintain minimum ratios of Total Capital, Tier 1 Capital, and Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets as well as requirements enacted by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act"). Since 2015, the Rules have applied to both the Company and the Bank.
The Rules recognize three components, or tiers, of capital: common equity Tier 1 capital, additional Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. Common equity Tier 1 capital generally consists of retained earnings and common stock instruments (subjectLeverage Capital to certain adjustments), as well as accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"), exceptaverage assets. In addition to the extent that the Companyminimum capital ratios, both HomeStreet Inc. and the Bank exercise a one-time irrevocable option to exclude certain components of AOCI. Both the Company and the Bank elected this one time option in 2015 to exclude certain components of AOCI. Additional Tier 1 capital generally includes non-cumulative preferred stock and related surplus, subject to certain adjustments and limitations. Tier 2 capital generally includes certain capital instruments (such as subordinated debt) and portions of the amounts of the allowance for loan and lease losses, subject to certain requirements and deductions. The term "Tier 1 capital" means common equity Tier 1 capital plus additional Tier 1 capital, and the term "total capital" means Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital.
The Rules generally measure an institution's capital using four capital measures or ratios. The leverage ratio is the ratio of the institution's Tier 1 capital to its average total consolidated assets. The common equity Tier 1 capital ratio is the ratio of the institution's common equity Tier 1 capital to its total risk-weighted assets. The Tier 1 risk based capital ratio is the ratio of the

institution's total Tier 1 capital to its total risk-weighted assets. The total risk based capital ratio is the ratio of the institution's total capital to its total risk-weighted assets. To determine risk-weighted assets, assets of an institution are generally placed into a risk category and given a percentage weight based on the relative risk of that category. The percentage weights range from 0% to 1250%. An asset's risk-weighted value will generally be its percentage weight multiplied by the asset's value as determined under generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, certain off-balance-sheet items are converted to balance-sheet credit equivalent amounts, and each amount is then assigned to one of the risk categories. An institution's federal regulator may require the institution to hold more capital than would otherwise be required under the Rules if the regulator determines that the institution's capital requirements under the Rules are not commensurate with the institution's credit, market, operational or other risks.
To be classified as "well capitalized," both the Company and theHomeStreet Bank are required to havemaintain a common equitycapital conservation buffer consisting of additional Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratioCapital of at least 6.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based ratio of at least 8.0%, a total risk-based ratio of at least 10.0% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 5.0%. In addition to the preceding requirements, all financial institutions subject to the Rules, including both the Company and the Bank, are required to establish a "conservation buffer" of common equity Tier 1 capital subject to a three year phase-in period that began on January 1, 2016 and would have been fully phased in on January 1, 2019 atmore than 2.5% above the required minimum common equity Tierlevels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions. (See Item 1, capital ratio, the Tier 1 risk-based ratio“Business-Regulation,” and the total risk-based ratio. However, in 2017, the FDIC issued a final rule to extend the 2017 transition provision on a go-forward basis, halting certain partsNote 4, Regulatory Capital Requirements of the full phase in. The required phase-inNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2019 Form 10-K for additional information regarding regulatory capital conservation buffer during 2017 was 1.25%requirements for HomeStreet Inc. and is 1.25% during 2018. A financial institution with a conservation buffer of less than the required amount is subject to limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and stock repurchases, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. HomeStreet Bank).

At March 31, 2019,2020, our capital conservation buffers for the Company and the Bank were 6.58%5.50% and 7.77%5.95%, respectively.
The Rules set forth the manner in which certain capital elements are determined, including but not limited to requiring certain deductions related to mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets. Holding companies with less than $15 billion in total assets as of December 31, 2009 (which includes the Company) are permitted under the rules to continue to include trust preferred securities issued prior to May 19, 2010 in Tier 1 capital, generally up to 25% of other Tier 1 capital. Because our trust preferred securities were issued prior to May 19, 2010, we include those in our Tier 1 capital calculations.
The Rules made changes in the methods of calculating certain risk-based assets, which in turn affects the calculation of risk- based ratios. Higher or more sensitive risk weights are assigned to various categories of assets, including commercial real estate, credit facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property, certain exposures or credits that are 90 days past due or are nonaccrual, foreign exposures, certain corporate exposures, securitization exposures, equity exposures and, in certain cases, MSRs and deferred tax assets.
Certain calculations under the rules related to deductions from capital have phase-in periods through 2018.

Specifically, the capital treatment of MSRs is phased in through the transition periods. Under the prior rules, the Bank deducted 10% of the value of MSRs (net of deferred tax) from Tier 1 capital ratios. However, under Basel III, the Bank and the Company must deduct a much larger portion of the value of MSRs from Tier 1 capital.
MSRs (net of deferred tax) in excess of 10% of Tier 1 capital before threshold based deductions must be deducted from common equity. The disallowable portion of MSRs will be phased in incrementally (40% in 2015; 60% in 2016; 80% in 2017 and beyond).
In addition, the combined balance of MSRs and deferred tax assets is limited to approximately 15% of the Bank's and the Company's common equity Tier 1 capital. These combined assets must be deducted from common equity to the extent that they exceed the 15% threshold.
Any portion of the Bank's and the Company's MSRs that are not deducted from the calculation of common equity Tier 1 is subject to a 100% risk weight.


At March 31, 2019,2020, the Company and the Bank's capital ratios exceeded all regulatory requirements and continued to meet the regulatory capital category of "well capitalized" as defined by the FDIC's prompt corrective action rules.

ITEM 3QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Market Risk Management


The following discussion highlights developments since December 31, 20182019 and should be read in conjunction with the MarketRisk Management discussion within Part II, Item 7A Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Since December 31, 2018,2019, there have been no material changes in the types of risk management instruments we use or in our hedging strategies.


Market risk is defined as the sensitivity of income, fair value measurements and capital to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and other relevant market rates or prices. The primary market risks that we are exposed to are price and interest rate risks. Price risk is defined as the risk to current or anticipated earnings or capital arising from changes in the value of either assets or liabilities that are entered into as part of distributing or managing risk. Interest rate risk is defined as risk to current or anticipated earnings or capital arising from movements in interest rates.


For the Company, price and interest rate risks arise from the financial instruments and positions we hold. This includes loans, MSRs, investment securities, deposits, borrowings, long-term debt and derivative financial instruments. Due to the nature of our current operations, we are not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. Our real estate loan portfolio is subject to risks associated with the local economies of our various markets, in particular, the regional economy of the western United States, including Hawaii.


Our price and interest rate risks are managed by the Bank's Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALCO"), a management committee that identifies and manages the sensitivity of earnings or capital to changing interest rates to achieve our overall financial objectives. ALCO is a management-level committee whose members include the Chief Investment Officer, acting as the chair, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and other members of management. The committee meets monthly and is responsible for:
understanding the nature and level of the Company's interest rate risk and interest rate sensitivity;
assessing how that risk fits within our overall business strategies;
ensuring an appropriate level of rigor and sophistication in the risk management process for the overall level of risk;
complying with and reviewing the asset/liability management policy; and
formulating and implementing strategies to improve balance sheet mix and earnings.


The Finance Committee of the Bank's Board provides oversight of the asset/liability management process, reviews the results of interest rate risk analysis and approves submission of the relevant policies to the board.


The spread between the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and the relative dollar amounts of these assets and liabilities are the principal items affecting net interest income. Changes in net interest rates (interest rate risk) are influenced to a significant degree by the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities (timing risk), the relationship between various rates (basis risk), customer options (option risk) and changes in the shape of the yield curve (time-sensitive risk). We manage the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio while maintaining a balance between risk and return. The Company's funding strategy is to grow core deposits while we efficiently supplement using wholesale borrowings.


We estimate the sensitivity of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates using an interest rate simulation model that includes assumptions related to the level of balance sheet growth, deposit repricing characteristics and the rate of prepayments for multiple interest rate change scenarios. Interest rate sensitivity depends on certain repricing characteristics in our interest-earnings assets and interest-bearing liabilities, including the maturity structure of assets and liabilities and their repricing characteristics during the periods of changes in market interest rates. Effective interest rate risk management seeks to ensure both assets and liabilities respond to changes in interest rates within an acceptable timeframe, minimizing the impact of interest rate changes on net interest income and capital. Interest rate sensitivity is measured as the difference between the volume of assets and liabilities, at a point in time, that are subject to repricing at various time horizons, known as interest rate sensitivity gaps.





The following table presents sensitivity gaps for these different intervals.

Changes in the mix of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities can either increase or decrease the net interest margin, without affecting interest rate sensitivity. In addition, the interest rate spread between an earning asset and its funding liability can vary significantly, while the timing of repricing for both the asset and the liability remains the same, thereby impacting net interest income. This characteristic is referred to as basis risk. Varying interest rate environments can create unexpected changes in prepayment levels of assets and liabilities that are not reflected in the interest rate sensitivity analysis. These prepayments may have a significant impact on our net interest margin. Because of these factors, an interest sensitivity gap analysis may not provide an accurate assessment of our actual exposure to changes in interest rates.


The estimated impact on our net interest income over a time horizon of one year and the change in net portfolio value as of March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 are provided in the table below. For the scenarios shown, the interest rate simulation assumes an instantaneous and sustained shift in market interest rates and no change in the composition or size of the balance sheet.

At March 31, 2019,2020, we believe our net interest income sensitivity did not exhibit a strong bias to either an increase in interest rates or a decline in interest rates. The changes in interest rate sensitivity between December 31, 20182019 and March 31, 2019 reflect2020 reflected the impact of overall balance sheet composition. The changes in sensitivity reflect the impact of both lower market interest rates, a flatter and inverted yield curve and changes to overall balance sheet composition. Some of the assumptions made in the simulation model may not materialize and unanticipated events and circumstances will occur. Modeling results in extreme interest rate decline scenarios and may encounterresult in negative rate assumptions which may cause the results to be inherently unreliable. In addition, the simulation model does not take into account any future actions that we could undertake to mitigate an adverse impact due to changes in interest rates from those expected, in the actual level of market interest rates or competitive influences on our deposits.






ITEM 4CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our management and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2019.2020.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


As required by Rule 13a-15(d), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, also conducted an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 20192020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


DuringThere were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as disclosed in our financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company sold a significant portion of its single family mortgage servicing rights. The Company’s Board of Directors also authorized the exit or disposal of the Company’s home loan center based origination business which resulted in elimination of segment reporting in the first quarter of 2019. Subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company executed a definitive agreement with Homebridge Financial Services, Inc. to sell the assets of up to 50 stand-alone, satellite, and fulfillment offices, which action is related to the Board resolution to exit the Bank’s home loan center-based mortgage origination business. In connection with the adoption of the resolution to exit or dispose of the home loan center-based mortgage business, the sales of single family mortgage servicing rights and entering into a definitive agreement for the sale of assets to Homebridge, the Company adopted discontinued operations accounting for the legacy Mortgage Banking segment. Certain back office infrastructure and operations were also restructured as part of these activities. These combined initiatives, were determined to2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over the financial reporting process. We will continue to monitorour internal control over financial reporting throughout the process.reporting.




PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 


ITEM 1LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


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








ITEM 1ARISK FACTORS


This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks faced by us described below and elsewhere in this report.



Risks Related to Our Operations

Our business and our customers are negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and we cannot predict the overall cost or duration of these impacts on our business or the economy as a whole.

In January 2020, the first identified U.S. case of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel corona virus, was identified in the Puget Sound area of Washington state, where we are headquartered. Beginning in early March, social distancing measures and stay-home orders were initiated in all of our markets, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the global outbreak of COVID-19 to be a pandemic. As a result of both consumer responses to the pandemic and government-imposed stay-home or shelter in place orders, many businesses have suffered extreme financial hardship, especially those in the travel, energy, hotel, food and beverage service and retail industries. Unemployment has soared both nationally and in the markets where we operate. In addition, in some states, including Washington State, construction projects were put on hold during the initial phase of these stay-home orders, and as of the beginning of May, Washington state has only authorized existing construction projects to resume. While some governmental programs have provided assistance to smaller businesses that have been especially hard hit, including the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), these programs were intended to be of a fairly short duration, covering short-term payroll, real estate and utility costs.

While officials in the states where our markets are located are beginning to announce their intent to gradually lift the stay-home orders, in all likelihood restrictions on social interactions will remain in place for some time to come, and even once these orders are lifted, consumers may not be willing to engage in social activities such as dining out, travel, and retail shopping for some time to come, either because of fears of renewed outbreaks or because of economic hardship from, among other factors, the record levels of unemployment being experienced at this time. As a result, we anticipate that the recession triggered in part by this pandemic may persist for some time, and the overall depth and duration of this recession cannot be dimensioned at this time. This recession will affect certain of our depositors and borrowers more than others but is expected to have impacts to our credit quality, risk management results, and financial statements generally. Specific risks related to this outbreak and the resulting economic crisis are identified throughout our risk factors, but we caution that because the scope and impact of the pandemic, the response to the pandemic and the economic crisis related to the pandemic are largely unknowable at this time, the overall effect on our business and our customers cannot yet be determined.

The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers may have a significant adverse impact on their ability to meet loan obligations and may also decrease demands for future loans.

While certain initiatives such as increased unemployment benefits and PPP loan forgiveness may mitigate some of the negative financial consequences of the economic shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we still expect significant economic consequences for many of our customers. As a result, some of our customers may be unable to meet their debt obligations to us in a timely manner, or at all, and we are experiencing a meaningful increase in requests from customers for forbearances on loans. Current laws and concomitant regulatory guidance confirm that financial institutions may evaluate loans for eligibility under Section 4103 of the CARES Act or ASC Subtopic 310-40, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. Modifications eligible under Section 4013 or in which an institution elects not to apply Section 4103 do not automatically result in troubled debt restructuring, or TDRs. Specifically, financial institutions may presume that borrowers are not experiencing financial difficulties at the time of a modification for purposes of determining if a loan is a TDR if the loan modification is in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the borrower was current at the time the modification plan was implemented, and the modification is short-term. Further, COVID-19 pandemic related loan modifications will not automatically result in an adverse risk rating. However, there is a possibility that in the long run a meaningful number of the loans in our portfolio may ultimately need additional forbearance or significant modification and be accounted for as a TDR in accordance with ASC Subtopic 310-40, or migrate to an adverse risk rating, because of lingering impacts of an economic recession. As a result, our financial statements and report of operations, when judged against pre-COVID-19 pandemic standards, may not adequately reflect the credit quality of our loans held in our portfolio in the short term, which may in turn result in a significant migration of loans to a lower tier of loan quality in the future when this prohibition on downgrading is lifted. As a result, we expect a more significant negative impact on our earnings and results of operations may occur in future quarters for developments that have occurred in this quarter.

Our allowance for credit losses may not be adequate and we may need to increase our provision in future quarters.

We have substantially increased our allowance for credit loss in response to the negative economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. We consider certain qualitative factors for each loan pool, including changes in collateral values and economic conditions, to adjust the expected historic loss rates for current and forecasted conditions that are not incorporated into the historical loss information. For the first quarter of 2020, we used forecast scenarios from Moody’s and REIS that include their modeling for COVID-19 pandemic effects. However, we cannot be sure that the amount by which we have increased our allowance for credit losses will be adequate or that additional increases to the allowance for credit loss will not be needed in subsequent periods. The lack of information regarding when orders requiring the closure of non-essential parts of our economy will be lifted, how they will be lifted, the potential for future outbreaks of infections that may require additional closures of the economy and the long lasting impacts of the pandemic on the economy generally, the actual credit performance of our loan portfolio as compared to the modeled estimation, as well as on consumer behavior in the near term and the long run, make it hard to accurately model the total expected impact to the credit quality of our loan portfolio. While our provisioning incorporates past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts regarding the expected economic impact, the actual impact is unknowable, and a failure to make adequate provision may result in future losses above our expected losses, which would have a negative impact on our capital position, liquidity, financial position and results of operations.

As a participating lender in the SBA PPP loans, the Company and the Bank are subject to additional risks of litigation from the Bank’s customers or other parties regarding the Bank’s processing of loans for the PPP and risks that the SBA may not fund some or all PPP loan guaranties.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law, which included a $349 billion loan program administered through the SBA referred to as the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, which the Bank is participating in as a lender. Under the initial phase of the PPP, small businesses and other entities and individuals were able to apply for loans from existing SBA lenders and other approved regulated lenders that enroll in the program, subject to numerous limitations and eligibility criteria. The SBA opened its systems for processing of PPP loans on April 3, 2020; however, there was and continues to be significant ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the PPP, including the order in which loans were processed and which customers were eligible to participate. These ambiguities expose the Company to risks relating to noncompliance with the PPP. Furthermore, the initial funding for the PPP was fully allocated by April 16, 2020, and while the federal government authorized an additional $310 billion in PPP funding on April 24, 2020, to be disbursed beginning on April 27, the additional authorization came with additional guidance and limitations and eligibility criteria that further increased the ambiguity and risk of liability for the Company and the Bank. Moreover, the SBA system was unable to handle the volume of loan submissions throughout the process, further complicating the process and creating additional dissatisfaction from customers whose loans may have been delayed as a result.

Since the opening of the PPP, several other larger banks have been subject to litigation regarding the process and procedures that such banks used in processing applications for the PPP. The Company and the Bank may be exposed to the risk of similar litigation, from both customers and non customers that approached the Bank regarding PPP loans, regarding its process and procedures used in processing applications for the PPP. Class action lawsuits have also been filed in some states against certain lenders alleging that those institutions inappropriately prioritized larger loans for processing in order to maximize agency fees. If any such litigation is filed which names the Company or the Bank as a defendant and which is not resolved in a manner favorable to the Company or the Bank, it may result in significant financial liability or adversely affect the Company’s reputation. In addition, litigation can be costly, regardless of outcome. Any financial liability, litigation costs or reputational damage caused by PPP related litigation could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Bank may also have unplanned credit risk on PPP loans if a determination is made by the SBA that there is a deficiency in the manner in which the loan was originated, documented, funded, or serviced by the Bank, such as an issue with the eligibility of a borrower to receive a PPP loan, which may or may not be related to the ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the PPP. In the event of a loss resulting from a default on a PPP loan and a determination by the SBA that there was a deficiency in the manner in which the PPP loan was originated, funded, or serviced by the Company, the SBA may deny its liability under the guaranty, deny forgiveness of the forgivable part of the PPP loan, reduce the amount of the guaranty, or, if it has already paid under the guaranty, seek recovery of any loss related to the deficiency from the Company.

A change in the practices of the Federal Reserve Board implemented to stabilize the market for certain debt securities or a change in federal monetary policy could adversely impact our results of operations.


The Federal Reserve is responsible for regulating the supply of money in the United States, and as a result both its open market operations, which are used to stabilize prices in times of economic stress, as well as its monetary policies strongly influence our rate of return on certain investments, our hedge effectiveness for mortgage servicing and our mortgage origination pipeline, as well as our costs of funds for lending and investing, all of which impact our results of operations including our risk management results, net interest income and net interest margin. The Federal Reserve Board's open market operations can also materially affect the value of financial instruments we hold, including debt securities and derivative securities we use in our mortgage pipeline and MSR hedging, and can impact the value of our mortgage servicing rights, or MSRs and in turn have a negative impact on financial results.

In early 2020, an unexpected drop in liquidity in mortgage backed securities occurred due to a mix of factors, including a decrease in mortgage rates, which prompted a refinancing wave and a related acceleration of prepayment rates, an increase in mortgage-related securities available for sale, a decrease in demand for such securities during the start of the economic crisis related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This drop in liquidity caused significant volatility in the market for mortgage backed securities, resulting in a period of poor hedge correlation for some of our hedging programs relating to our mortgage servicing and mortgage origination pipeline, and our risk management results for that period were uneven as a result. In response to this lack of liquidity, the Federal Reserve Board through its open market practices began purchasing certain securities, including mortgage backed securities. While this has provided stability to the market for such securities, which has allowed for better correlation and provide more predictable risk management results, we do not know how long the Federal Reserve Board will continue making these purchases to support the market for debt instruments. We expect that an improvement in market conditions will reduce the Federal Reserve Board’s acquisition of these assets, which may leave the market open to volatility in the future, especially if such support is withdrawn before the market is able to stabilize without such measures or if there are additional events that again put pressure on this part of the market.

Because a substantial portion of our revenues and our net income historically have been, and in the foreseeable future are expected to be, derived from gain on the origination and sale of mortgage loans for residential and commercial borrowers, as well as on the continuing servicing of those loans, the Federal Reserve Board's open market operation practices that support mortgage backed securities may have had, and for so long as the purchases continue, may continue to have, the effect of supporting higher revenues, higher asset values on certain investments that we hold, and better results of operations than might otherwise be available. Contrarily, a reduction in or termination of such purchases, absent a significant improvement in the overall global economic condition, would likely result in a less liquid mortgage backed securities market and reduced demand for mortgage-backed securities, which could cause our hedging programs to be less effective and our risk management results to be uneven or negative, which could in turn have a material adverse impact upon our results of operations.


We may not be able to meet our profitability and efficiency goals on the timeline we have projected or on the scale we have anticipated, and our achievement of these goals may be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic crisis.

Since the second quarter of 2019, we have been pursuing improvements to corporate profitability and efficiency. We have been implementing cost cutting measures across the organization, including setting goals for cost savings based on reductions in personnel, technology and occupancy expenses as well as organizational restructuring. In the first quarter of 2020 we revised our previously disclosed expectations for the timeline on which we expect to meet these goals, however, those revisions were made before the size and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related economic crisis were known. While we continue to believe that we will be able to meet many of our goals, the timing of the full implementation of the related cost-cutting and efficiency measures may be delayed beyond the end of the third quarter of 2021 as we focus our attention in the short term to responding to the market impacts of the pandemic. In addition, a significant portion of our cost saving goals rely on headcount reductions; however, a recent surge in single-family mortgage volume may also delay us from achieving our planned headcount reductions while we devote resources to process this unplanned volume, while protracted work-from-home orders may also indirectly delay us from achieving our planned headcount reductions. We can offer no assurances that all of the cost cutting measures identified can be fully implemented, that the need to add to our operations to support our response to customer needs stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic crisis will not impact the achievement of cost reduction goals, or that other developments will not arise in the interim to make these cost cutting measures less feasible or have less impact on the efficiency of the organization. We may not be successful in renegotiating contracts for technology services, which may limit our ability to effectively cut costs in that area. We may be unable to or delayed in realizing reductions in occupancy expenses because of COVID-19 negative effects on the commercial real estate market generally and office sublease market in particular. We may incur additional unexpected costs as a part of the process which may lower the benefit of the cost cutting initiatives. If the cost cutting initiatives take longer to implement, if we are not able to implement them on the scale we anticipate, or if developments occur that limit or offset those cost savings in whole or in part, we may not be able to meet the efficiency and cost reduction goals we have set for the Company on the projected timeline or at all, which could adversely impact our overall

results of operations and our stock price. We may not be successful in reducing our overall expenses and improving our efficiency ratio to the level of our peers in the near term, or at all.

Our branches may be impacted by COVID-19 infection rates.

To date, we have not closed any of our branches for extended periods in response to COVID-19 outbreaks in our communities, although we have curtailed branch hours and moved to an appointment-only model for branch lobby visitations during the pendency of the current stay-home orders. However, many other banks in our area have had to close branches due to risks of infection or actual infection within those branches. While we have implemented social distancing and sanitation plans and other safeguards and provided personal protection equipment for our front line employees, those employees remain at heightened risk for infection due to their exposure to the public, and any exposure to the virus may require us to temporarily close one or more of our branches in order to provide for appropriate cleaning of the branch to reduce the risk of infection. These measures, including limiting branch access, potential closures and costs of increased cleaning, may increase our costs of doing business and decrease the profitability of our branches, which may in turn impact our results of operations.

We may not be able to continue to grow our commercial and consumer banking operations at our recent pace.

stock repurchase program in the near future.
Since our initial public offering ("IPO") in February 2012, we have included targeted and opportunistic growth as a key component of our business strategy, and continue to pursue growth strategies for our commercial and consumer banking operations. We have grown our retail deposit branch presence from 20 branches in 2012 to 63 as of March 31, 2019, including expansion into new geographic regions, and have continued to expand our commercial lending operations during that period, resulting in substantial growth overall in total assets, total deposits and total loans. In the firstsecond quarter of 2019, we added one branchhave been repurchasing shares of our outstanding common stock, primarily in open market purchases, pursuant to repurchase plans authorized by acquisitionour Board of Directors. On March 20, 2020, we suspended the repurchase plan then in place in response to the uncertainty and two de novo branches. However, asrapidly developing economic changes result from the Company is going throughCOVID-19 pandemic, to preserve our capital to provide more protection against potential credit losses and provide more support for lending activities crucial to supporting our community. An additional $17.1 million remains authorized for repurchase under the transition of exitingsuspended plan, although our Board subsequently rescinded its HLC-based mortgage origination business,authorization for an additional $10 million in repurchases that was still awaiting non-objection from our regulators. While we expect to resume our stock repurchase plan at some point in the near-term strategic focus is expectedfuture, we will not be able to be more on improving efficiency and cost containment. Accordingly,do so until we have determined to temporarily suspend all de novo retail branch openings. This measure, along with other decisions we make as part of our overall focus on improving efficiency and cost, will likely significantly limit our ability to grow our retail deposit bank presence at the same pace that we have grown over recent quarters.

The sale of our Home Loan Center-based mortgage origination business is subject to certain closing conditions, including third party approvals and license requirements, which may not be achieved or may take longer than expected; an inability to meet the closing conditions in a timely manner or at all may result in a terminationbetter understanding of the agreement without completionimpact of the transaction and increase the cost of exiting the HLC-based mortgage business.

On April 4, 2019, HomeStreet Bank entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement with Homebridge Financial Services, Inc. for the sale of up to 50 stand-alone home loan center, satellite and operational offices of the Bank (the "HLC Transaction"). In order to complete the HLC Transaction, both the Company and Homebridge have to meet certain closing conditions, including, among other things, having an adequate number of transferring loan officers and loan offices licensed to operate on behalf of an independent mortgage company and receiving consent or approval from certain third parties. If either Homebridge or we are not able to meet these closing conditions in a timely fashion, or at all, the HLC Transaction may be limited to a smaller number of locations or may not be consummated at all. Because HomeStreet has adopted a plan of exit or disposal with respect to these assetspandemic and the related personnel, any offices that are not soldeconomic crisis on our business, earnings and financial position, the credit quality of our loan portfolios and our resulting liquidity and capital needs. As a result, we cannot predict when or even if we will be closed and the employees who are not able to transfer to Homebridge will be terminated by HomeStreet. In the event that some or all of the offices are closed rather than being transferred to Homebridge, the Company may incur additional expenses related to the closure of those offices and termination of those employees,resume our stock repurchase program, which is likely to have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition and may negatively impact our stock price.

Completing the exit or disposal of our HLC-based mortgage origination business may be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected and the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the plan of exit or disposal may not be realized. 

The Companyhas adopted a plan of exit or disposal with respect to its HLC-based mortgage origination business that contemplates either selling the assets relating to the HLCs and transferring the related employees to the buyerprice in the HLC Transaction or shutting down those operations and terminating the related employees prior to by June 30, 2019. Completing this plan is expected to take a considerable amount of time and attention of management and staff as we work to achieve the threshold requirements for closing of the HLC Transaction, monitor the possibility that some locations may not transfer, undertake to close any non-transferring location and work with the buyer to transfer assets, technology, information and personnel and enter into a transition services agreement for the buyer to complete the HLC pipeline of loans at the time of closing. It is possible that the exit and disposal could result in substantial disruption of the Company's operations as we may face the unexpected loss of key employees that we rely on to assist with the transition or to work in our continuing operations, disruption of our ongoing businesses, higher than anticipated costs, adverse impacts to our relationships with our customers and employees, or a failure to achieve the anticipated benefits and cost savings. If difficulties with the exit and disposal process are encountered, the anticipated benefits of the HLC Transaction, including the mitigation of exit costs through the expected sale of HLC-related assets, may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. Implementing the plan of exit or disposal will also divert management attention and resources, and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to operate efficiently as well as its results of operations and financial condition during the transition period and beyond.future.


Termination of the HLC Transaction could negatively impact the Company.

Both the Bank and Homebridge have certain rights to terminate the HLC Transaction as to some or all of the HLC assets, including if the transaction is not completed by June 21, 2019. In the event the closing conditions cannot be met, including the requirement that a certain minimum percentage of the loan officers being licensed to originate on behalf of Homebridge and having accepted an offer of employment from Homebridge, the HLC Transaction may not close and Homebridge could terminate the agreement. In the event that the agreement is terminated, we may incur significant additional expense in closing those HLCs that are subject to the plan of exit or disposal without the offset of any purchase price for such assets, and the market price of our commonRecent stock could decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the HLC Transaction will be completed in full. In addition, the Company will have incurred substantial costs in connection with negotiating the agreement for the HLC Transaction and completing certain tasks required to be prepared for closing under the HLC Transaction agreement, such as licensing of employees, and would have to recognize those costs without realizing the expected benefits of the HLC Transaction.

Our stock repurchase programrepurchases may not enhance our long-term shareholder value.
On April 4,From the second quarter of 2019 through March 20, 2020, we announced that the Boardrepurchased an aggregate 3,767,537 shares at an average price of Directors approved$30.26 per share, for a total return to shareholders of approximately $114.0 million in capital, and an additional $17.1 million remains authorized for share repurchases under our currently suspended stock repurchase program for upplan. While the intent of the repurchases is to $75 millionreturn capital to shareholders and to improve the long-term value of our outstanding common stock, measured as of the date such plan was adopted, March 28, 2019. Wewe cannot be assured that our stock repurchase program will enhancerepurchases have actually enhanced long-term shareholder value. The timingMarkets have fallen precipitously across the globe in the last few weeks and actual numbermonths in response to the economic crisis brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, and our average stock price is now below the price we paid for some of shares repurchased, if any, depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other market conditions. In addition, while we expect to implement this repurchase plan pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which allows for trading in closed windows, it cannot be adopted or modified except in an open window period. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Repurchases pursuant tothese repurchases. Additionally, repurchases under our stock repurchase program have reduced our equity and regulatory capital ratios, which could impact our ability to maintain our “well-capitalized” status in the face of unknown economic stress from the economic crisis brought on by the COVID-10 pandemic, and may also impact our ability to pursue possible future strategic opportunities and acquisitions.

Repurchases may affect our stock price and increase its volatility. The existence of avolatility in the short term, and if we are able to resume the suspended stock repurchase program couldin the future, the existence of that program may also cause our stock price to be higher than it would be in the absence of such a program and could potentially may reduce the market liquidity for our stock. Additionally, repurchases under our stock repurchase program will diminish our cash reserves, which could impact our ability to pursue possible future strategic opportunities and acquisitions and could resultduring the time the plan is in lower overall returns on our cash balances.effect. There can be no assurance that any stock repurchases will enhance shareholder value because the market price of our common stock may decline below the levels at which we repurchased shares of stock.stock even absent an economic crisis like we are now experiencing. Although our stock repurchase program is intended to enhance long-term shareholder value, short-term stock price fluctuations could reduce the program's effectiveness.

Even with the expected sale of our home loan center-based mortgage business and related servicing portfolio, we will need to consider additional measures to improve our financial performance.

While the HLC Transaction and MSR Sales are expected to create significant cost savings, generate additional capital for our operations and improve the overall financial health of our organization going forward, the downsizing of those operations combined with the move away from segment reporting will result in an initial increase in overhead expenses for our continuing operations and a corresponding increase in the Company's efficiency ratio (as compared to the efficiency ratio reported in prior quarters for commercial and consumer banking) in the short term.term our stock price may fluctuate and shareholders may not immediately see an increase to the value of their holdings.

We may not be able to continue paying dividends
In January 2020, our Board of Directors approved a dividend policy that contemplates the payment of regular quarterly dividends. This policy was based on expected results in future quarters which would provide adequate earnings, capital and liquidity in our operations to provide for the payment of a dividend, but requires the Board of Directors to review the Company’s ability to pay such dividend each quarter before declaring payment of a dividend. While our Board, after reviewing appropriate financial analysis, was able to declare a dividend in both the first and second quarter of 2020, we face significant uncertainty regarding the global economy and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic crisis on our communities and our business, and we cannot guarantee that our earnings, capital requirements or liquidity needs will warrant payment of a dividend in any future quarters. In addition, if our regulators have concerns about our ability to maintain adequate capital or to operate in a safe and sound manner, they may also provide guidance or direction that requires us to suspend our dividends, or there may be legislation passed that restricts or prohibits our ability to pay dividends. As a result, we will need to undertake additional cost cutting or revenue enhancement measures in order to meet our financial and strategic goals. We may not be successful in reducing our overall expenses and improving our efficiency ratio to the level of our peers in the near term, or at all.

We expect the sale of the assets related to our home loan center-based mortgage banking operations and related mortgage servicing portfoliocannot guarantee that we will be complicated and complex transactions that will require significant attention from management and may incur additional near-term costs associated withable to pay regular quarterly dividends going forward.
If we are not able to retain or attract key employees, or if we were to suffer the sales.

The proposed sale of the assets related to our home loan center-based mortgage operations and the related portfolio of mortgage servicing rights will require a series of complex transactions relating to the identification of and transfer of mortgage-related assets, the transfer of our unlocked mortgage pipeline, assignment or subleaseloss of a significant number of real estate leases, regulatory approvals, integrationemployees, we could experience a disruption in our ability to implement our strategic plan which would have a material adverse effect on our business.
Beginning in 2019, the Company has been going through a time of transition related to our divestiture of the stand-alone home loan center business and initiatives intended to improve profitability and efficiency, significantly reduce our employee headcount, slow the growth of our technologycontinuing operations and automation solutions with thoseimplement steps aimed at improving our profitability and efficiency. This time of transition has been somewhat interrupted by the need to increase headcount in certain areas in the short term, including mortgage banking, where volume has increased significantly in the wake of lowered interest rates and heightened interest in refinancing loans, and commercial lending, where demand for PPP loans has increased the need for loan origination, funding and monitoring personnel. However, the efficiency and profitability initiatives are still an important piece of the acquirer, communicating with impacted employeesCompany’s current plans, and customers, management of the transfer or terminationrelated elimination of a largenumber of corporate positions related to those initiatives may cause some employees who we would want to retain, either in the near-term or long-term, to seek other opportunities. If a key employee or a substantial number of employees depart whom we were seeking to retain, or become unable to perform their duties due to COVID-19 related circumstances, it may negatively impact our ability to conduct business as usual. In addition, we may not be able to meet the personnel demands related to the PPP lending operation, which may mean we have to divert resources from other areas of our operations, and may also stress our existing employee base, which could also result in the loss of key employees or a substantial number of employees in key positions. The loss of key personnel, including the impacted areasloss of a significant amount of our resources for administering and monitoring the PPP loans, or an inability to continue to attract, retain and motivate key personnel could adversely affect our business.

Calls from activists to withhold rent during the COVID-19 global pandemic may impact the ability of some customers to meet their obligations on mortgage loans for multifamily residential buildings, which may have an adverse impact on our results of operations rescalingand financial position.

In many of the communities where we do business, recently enacted laws passed in response to the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have restricted the ability of landlords to evict tenants for failure to pay rent. As a result, tenants who are unable to meet their rent obligations or who have prioritized other expenses over their rent expenses may fail to pay rent on time, negatively impacting the recurring revenue of their landlord. At the same time, in certain of our corporatemore socially progressive cities such as Seattle and compliance operationsthe San Francisco area, activists have been encouraging all renters not to fitpay their rent, regardless of ability to pay, in an effort to bring attention to their demands for rent control and other housing-related reforms, or to intentionally bring harm to landlords. Where a significant number of tenants are not able or unwilling to pay rent, the reduced sizelandlord in turn may not be able to meet their obligations when due, including payments on loans we have made to them. Many of the mortgages we have originated on multifamily housing assets are intended for sale to Fannie Mae under the Designated Underwriter and Servicing (DUS) license. The terms of our retained mortgage operationsagreement with Fannie Mae requires us to advance payment of some or all of the funds due under certain of these loans regardless of whether or not the borrower has made payment on the loan, and more. Managingin some cases may require us to share in a portion of loan losses if the collateral value for such loan is less than the outstanding loan amount then due. We may need to make payments to Fannie Mae as an advance of funds owed on these work streamsloans without have collected the same amount from the borrower, and without an assurance that the funds will requirebe collected from the borrower, causing a negative impact on our liquidity, credit quality, capital position and financial results.

Changes in interest rates, competition in our industry, operational costs and other factors beyond our control may adversely impact our profitability.

Factors outside of our control, including changing interest rate environments, regulatory decisions, increased competition, a flattening yield curve and other forces of market volatility, can have a significant attention from management and may increase our short-term costs as we incur expenses related to professional services such as outsourced financial advisory, legal and accounting services and costs related to employee retention, severance and outplacement benefits, among other things. These increased costs could adversely impact on our financial condition and results of operations.


We adopted discontinued operations, reporting with regard toincluding decreasing net interest income, decreasing profitability, increasing the cost of loan origination and adversely impacting our HLC-based mortgage operationshedging strategies. For instance, the declining interest rate environment in the firstthird quarter of 2019, which requires us to make certain assumptions regarding allocationresulted in a temporary inversion of the yield curve, had an adverse impact on our net interest margin. Lower rates prompted an increase in loan prepayments, which reduced the overall yield of our incomeloan portfolio because higher interest loans were replaced with loans originated with lower interest rates, impacting our results of operations. On the other hand, increases in interest rates in 2018, combined with other factors, negatively impacted our origination volume, especially with respect to single family mortgages. While we are subject to these market forces, we do not have any control over them and expenses that may not be wholly accurate orable to predict changes that could have a significant impact on us.

We may change in the future. 

Based on our adoption in the first quarterincur significant losses as a result of 2019ineffective hedging of a Plan of Exit or Disposal for our HLC-based mortgage lending operations, the anticipated sale or disposition of substantially all assetsinterest rate risk related to that business (including 71%our loans sold with retained servicing rights.

To mitigate potential losses of fair value of single family loans held for the currentsale and prior comparative periods. This reporting requirement results in a recasting of the financial statements for both current and prior periods based on subjective assumptions about which income and costs are continuing and which are discontinued, which assumptions required a significant amount of judgment from management. Because we will continue to have mortgage operationsMSRs related to our commercialchanges in interest rates, we actively hedge this risk with financial derivative instruments. Hedging is a complex process, requiring sophisticated models, experienced and consumer banking business,skilled personnel and continual monitoring. Changes in the apportionment of continued and discontinued operations and is not as discrete as it might be in other contexts, such as a divestment. Moreover, it would not be feasible or practical to undertake a comprehensive historical analysisvalue of our operationshedging instruments may not correlate with changes in prior periods relatingthe value of our single family loans held for sale and MSRs, and our hedging activities may be impacted by unforeseen or unexpected changes. Therefore, our hedging activities may be insufficient or fail to reduce the determinationimpact of discontinued operations, therefore management also adopted certain simplifying assumptionsinterest rate fluctuations on single family loans held for sale and MSRs.

Natural disasters or impacts of a pandemic in an effort to provide information that deemed more relevant to investors. As a result,our geographic markets may negatively impact our financial reportingresults.

Our primary markets are located in geographic regions that are at risk for prior years may be less precise than it would otherwise be wereearthquakes, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, floods, mudslides, outbreaks, epidemics, pandemics and other natural disasters. Certain communities in our markets have suffered significant losses from natural disasters, including devastating wildfires in California, Oregon and Washington, and volcanic eruptions and hurricanes in Hawaii. While the impacts of these natural disasters on our business have not been material to date, we not allocating between continuinghave in the past had temporary office closures during these events and discontinued operations.certain of our customers have experienced losses from these events.


In addition, all of the markets in which we do business have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and while state and local governments are starting to announce an easing in stay-home orders, we expect that it will be some time before they are fully lifted and there may findbe additional waves of outbreaks that may require restrictions to be increased again. We may experience additional impacts in the future thatfrom quarantines, market downturns and changes in consumer behavior related to pandemic fears and impacts on our assumptions regarding what should have been includedworkforce if there are additional waves of significant infections or if another unrelated pandemic were to occur in discontinued operations may changeour communities. We cannot predict the full impact of COVID-19 or may proveany other future global pandemic on our business, but we could suffer financial losses as a result of any such crisis. In addition, downturns in the global market related to have been inaccurate, whichpandemic fears now or in the future could result in differencesa lowering of interest rates as a stimulus to boost consumer spending, which could further negatively impact our results of operations.

If a significant natural disaster or pandemic were to occur in the amounts reportedfuture, our operations in areas impacted by such events could also experience an adverse financial impact due to office closures and market changes. In addition, our financial results could be impacted due to an inability of our customers to meet their loan commitments in a timely manner because of their losses, including a decrease in revenues for certain businesses in areas impacted by quarantines during a pandemic or other changes in consumer behavior, a reduction in housing inventory due to losses caused by natural disaster, and negative impacts to the local economy as it seeks to recover from these disasters.

Our business is geographically confined to certain metropolitan areas of the Western United States, and events and conditions that disproportionately affect those areas may pose a more pronounced risk for our business.

Although we presently have retail deposit branches in four states, with lending offices in these states and two others, a substantial majority of our revenues are derived from operations in the financial statementsPuget Sound region of Washington, the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area, the San Francisco Bay Area, and related disclosuresthe Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside and San Diego metropolitan areas in Southern California. All of our markets are located in the Western United States. Each of our primary markets is subject to various types of natural disasters, and many have experienced disproportionately significant economic volatility compared to the rest of the United States in the past. In addition, many of these areas have experienced a constriction in the availability of houses for sale in recent periods as continuingnew home construction has not kept pace with population growth in our primary markets, in part due to limitations on permitting and discontinuedland availability. Economic events or natural disasters that affect the Western United States and our primary markets in that region, may have an unusually pronounced impact on our business. Because our operations are not more geographically diversified, we may lack the ability to mitigate those impacts from operations in future periods, includingother regions of the United States.

The significant concentration of real estate secured loans in our portfolio has had a subsequent recastingnegative impact on our asset quality and profitability in the past and there can be no assurance that it will not have such impact in the future.

A substantial portion of historical periods basedour loans are secured by real property. Our real estate secured lending is generally sensitive to national, regional and local economic conditions, making loss levels difficult to predict. Declines in real estate sales and prices, significant increases in interest rates, unforeseen natural disasters and a decline in prevailing economic conditions may result in higher than expected loan delinquencies, foreclosures, problem loans, other real estate owned ("OREO"), net charge-offs and provisions for credit and OREO losses. Although real estate prices are currently stable in the markets in which we operate, if market values decline significantly, as they did in the last recession, the collateral for our loans may provide less security and reduce our ability to recover the principal, interest and costs due on defaulted loans. Such declines may have a greater effect on our earnings and capital than on the reallocationearnings and capital of those items. financial institutions whose loan portfolios are more diversified.


We have determinedDeterioration in the costs allocatedreal estate markets in which we operate and higher than normal delinquency and default rates on loans could cause other adverse consequences for us, including:

Reduced cash flows and capital resources, as we are required to stranded costsmake cash advances to meet contractual obligations to investors, process foreclosures, and maintain, repair and market foreclosed properties;

Declining mortgage servicing fee revenues because we recognize these revenues only upon collection;

Increasing mortgage servicing costs;

Declining fair value on the basisour mortgage servicing rights; and

Declining fair values and liquidity of securities held in our prior corporate overhead segment allocations, which may be less accurate than other approaches in determining which costs should be included in this category.

In our earnings report for the first quarter of 2019, we reported certain of our costsinvestment portfolio that are not allocable to discontinued operations because they will continue but are not part of our continuing operations as "stranded costs", which is a non-GAAP measure. Those costs identified as stranded costs were estimated in part based on the Company's historical process of allocating corporate overhead costs to the previous business segments. While this approach is reasonable to the Company, a more robust, granular analysis may have resulted in a materially different amount of stranded costs that directly impact the expenses and net income reported for continuing and discontinued operations.collateralized by mortgage obligations.

Proxy contests commenced against the Company have caused us to incur substantial costs, divertdiverted the attention of the Board of Directors and management, taketaken up management's attention and resources, causecaused uncertainty about the strategic direction of our business and adversely affectaffected our business, operating results and financial condition, and future proxy contests willcould do so as well.

In late 2017 through our annual meeting in May 2018, an activist investor, Roaring Blue Lion Capital Management, L.P., and its managing member, Charles W. Griege, Jr., and certain affiliates (the "Blue Lion Parties") engaged in a lengthy proxy fight with respect to the Company in which Mr. Griege and the Blue Lion Parties went to great lengths to try to persuade our shareholders to vote against certain of our directors and proposals. While Blue Lion was not ultimately successful in preventing the election of the Company's nominees, the protracted campaign against the Company was both time-consuming and costly. Although the Company has continued to engage with the Blue Lion Parties on a regular basis as it does with other shareholders, the Blue Lion Parties have provided notice to the Company that they intend to engage in a proxy contest again with respect to our 2019 Annual Meeting of the Shareholders. We expect the Blue Lion Parties to continue to be critical of the Company's board and management for the foreseeable future.


A proxy contest or other activist campaign and related actions, such as the one discussed above,recent contest by Roaring Blue Lion Capital Management and related entities in 2018 and 2019, could have a material and adverse effect on us for the following reasons:


Activist investors may attempt to effect changes in the Company's strategic direction and how the Company is governed, or to acquire control over the Company.


While the Company welcomes the opinions of all shareholders, responding to proxy contests and related actions by activist investors could be costly and time-consuming, disrupt our operations, and divert the attention of our Board of Directors and senior management and employees away from their regular duties and the pursuit of business opportunities. In addition, there may be litigation in connection with a proxy contest, as was the case

with our 2018 proxy fight, which would serve as a further distraction to our Board of Directors, senior management and employees and could require the Company to incur significant additional costs.


Perceived uncertainties as to our future direction as a result of potential changes to the composition of the Board of Directors may lead to the perception of a change in the strategic direction of the business, instability or lack of continuity which may be exploited by our competitors; may cause concern to our existing or potential customers and employees; may result in the loss of potential business opportunities; and may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel and business partners.


Proxy contests and related actions by activist investors could cause significant fluctuations in our stock price based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business.
If we are not able to retain or attract key employees, we could experience a disruption in our ability to implement our strategic plan which would have a material adverse effect on our business.
The Company is going through a time of transition as we seek to divest our HLC-based mortgage business and focus on improved efficiency and slower growth in our continuing operations. This transition has resulted in some uncertainty among our employees as we have also identified a number of corporate positions that will be eliminated as we seek to improve the efficiency of our remaining operations and reduce our overhead expenses, which may cause some employees that we would want to retain, either in the near-term or long-term, to seek other opportunities. If a key employee or a substantial number of employees depart, it may impact our ability to conduct business as usual. The low unemployment rates in many of our primary job markets, including Seattle, may leave us especially vulnerable to the loss of key employees. Similarly, this uncertainty may make it more challenging for us to attract and retain qualified and desirable candidates to fill open positions at the Company. The loss of our key personnel or an inability to continue to attract, retain and motivate key personnel could adversely affect our business.
Our expected sale of the assets related to our home loan center-based mortgage operations could have an adverse impact on our ability to retain certain customers.
Customers or potential customers who are aware of our current strategic direction may decide not to continue to do business with HomeStreet, including seeking out other originators for loans that they have not yet closed or seeking to refinance their existing loan with a different provider. As a result, our mortgage pipeline could fall off sooner than expected, which could impair our financial results for the second quarter. Further, retail customers who are not impacted by a potential sale of the assets related to our home loan center-based mortgage operations may seek to move their deposit accounts away from our institution if they are concerned about the impact of this announcement on our overall operations, our reputation in the community or the future of our organization as a whole. A loss of a substantial number of customers and potential borrowers could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.

Volatility in mortgage markets, changes in interest rates, competition in our industry, operational costs and other factors beyond our control may adversely impact our profitability.

We have sustained significant losses in the past, and we cannot guarantee that we will remain profitable or be able to maintain profitability at a given level. While we expect to reduce our exposure to the mortgage market by significantly scaling back our mortgage operations, we will still continue to rely on mortgage origination for a portion of our revenues. Challenges in the mortgage market, including an increasing interest rate environment, and a disparity between the supply and demand of houses available for sale, regulatory decisions, increased competition among mortgage originators, a flattening yield curve and other forces of market volatility have the effect of decreasing net interest income, decreasing profitability, increasing the cost of mortgage origination and adversely impacting our hedging strategies. The mortgage banking operations that we expect to retain will still be subject to many of these same pricing and competitive pressures existing in the mortgage industry generally.

We may incur significant losses as a result of ineffective hedging of interest rate risk related to our loans sold with retained servicing rights.

Both the value of our single family mortgage servicing rights, or MSRs, and the value of our single family loans held for sale change with fluctuations in interest rates, among other things, reflecting the changing expectations of mortgage prepayment activity. To mitigate potential losses of fair value of single family loans held for sale and MSRs related to changes in interest rates, we actively hedge this risk with financial derivative instruments. Hedging is a complex process, requiring sophisticated

models, experienced and skilled personnel and continual monitoring. Changes in the value of our hedging instruments may not correlate with changes in the value of our single family loans held for sale and MSRs, and our hedging activities may be impacted by unforeseen or unexpected changes, such as the flattening of the yield curve in 2018 at a time when we were rebalancing our hedging position. While we believe that if we significantly reduce the volume of single family loans held for sale and sell off a large portion of our MSRs, our exposure to the risks associated with the impact of interest rate fluctuations on single family loans held for sale and MSRs will decrease but may still have a meaningful impact on our results of operations in mortgage banking. Further, in times of significant financial disruption, as in 2008, hedging counterparties have been known to default on their obligations.

Natural disasters in our geographic markets may impact our financial results.

Each of our primary markets are located in geographic regions that are at a risk for earthquakes, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, floods, mudslides and other natural disasters. Certain communities in our markets have suffered significant losses from natural disasters, including devastating wildfires in California, Oregon and Washington, and volcanic eruptions and hurricanes in Hawaii. While the impact of these recent natural disasters on our business have not been material to date, we have in the past had temporary office closures during these events, and were a more significant disruption to occur in the future, our operations in areas impacted by such disasters could experience an adverse financial impact due to office closures, customers who as a result of their losses may not be able to meet their loan commitments in a timely manner, a reduction in housing inventory due to loss caused by natural disaster and negative impacts to the local economy as it seeks to recover from these disasters.

Our business is geographically confined to certain metropolitan areas of the Western United States, and events and conditions that disproportionately affect those areas may pose a more pronounced risk for our business.

Although we presently have retail deposit branches in four states, with lending offices in these states and two others, a substantial majority of our revenues are derived from operations in the Puget Sound region of Washington, the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area, the San Francisco Bay Area, and the Los Angeles and San Diego metropolitan areas in Southern California. All of our markets are located in the Western United States. Each of our primary markets is subject to various types of natural disasters, and many have experienced disproportionately significant economic volatility compared to the rest of the United States in the past. In addition, many of these areas have been experiencing a constriction in the availability of houses for sale in recent periods as new home construction has not kept pace with population growth in our primary markets, in part due to limitations on permitting and land availability. Economic events or natural disasters that affect the Western United States and our primary markets in that region in particular, or more significantly, may have an unusually pronounced impact on our business and, because our operations are not more geographically diversified, we may lack the ability to mitigate those impacts from operations in other regions of the United States.

The significant concentration of real estate secured loans in our portfolio has had a negative impact on our asset quality and profitability in the past and there can be no assurance that it will not have such impact in the future.

A substantial portion of our loans are secured by real property. Our real estate secured lending is generally sensitive to national, regional and local economic conditions, making loss levels difficult to predict. Declines in real estate sales and prices, significant increases in interest rates, unforeseen natural disasters and a degeneration in prevailing economic conditions may result in higher than expected loan delinquencies, foreclosures, problem loans, other real estate owned ("OREO"), net charge-offs and provisions for credit and OREO losses. Although real estate prices are currently stable in the markets in which we operate, if market values decline significantly, as they did in the last recession, the collateral for our loans may provide less security and, our ability, to recover the principal, interest and costs due on defaulted loans by selling the underlying real estate will be diminished, leaving us more likely to suffer additional losses on defaulted loans. Such declines may have a greater effect on our earnings and capital than on the earnings and capital of financial institutions whose loan portfolios are more diversified.

Worsening conditions in the real estate markets in which we operate and higher than normal delinquency and default rates on loans could cause other adverse consequences for us, including:

Reduced cash flows and capital resources, as we are required to make cash advances to meet contractual obligations to investors, process foreclosures, and maintain, repair and market foreclosed properties;

Declining mortgage servicing fee revenues because we recognize these revenues only upon collection;

Increasing mortgage servicing costs;

Declining fair value on our mortgage servicing rights; and

Declining fair values and liquidity of securities held in our investment portfolio that are collateralized by mortgage obligations.

Changes in government-sponsored enterprises and their ability to insure or to buy our loans in the secondary market may result in significant changes in our ability to recognize income on sale of our loans to third parties.

We originate a substantial portion of our single family mortgage loans for sale to government-sponsored enterprises ("GSE") such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. Changes in the types of loans purchased by these GSEs or the program requirements for those entities could adversely impact our ability to sell certain of the loans we originate for sale. For example, as a result of Section 309 of the EGRRCPA, which was enacted into law in May 2018, a few of our VA-qualified loans we had originated for sale to Ginnie Mae were deemed to be ineligible for sale to Ginnie Mae under the revised terms of that entity’s program and we were required to find a different way to sell these loans. Such changes are difficult to predict, and can have a negative impact on our cash flow and results of operations.


We may have deficiencies in internal controls over financial reporting that we have not discovered which may result in our inability to maintain control over our assets or to identify and accurately report our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.


Our internal controls over financial reporting are intended to assureensure we maintain accurate records, promote the accurate and timely reporting of our financial information, maintain adequate control over our assets, and detect unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets. Effective internal and disclosure controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports, and effectively prevent fraud, and to operate successfully as a public company. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our reputation and operating results may be harmed.


As part of our ongoing monitoring of internal controlcontrols, from time to time we have discovered deficiencies in our internal controls that have required remediation. In the past, these deficiencies have included "material weaknesses," defined as a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.


Because a significant portion of our employees are working from home due to the stay-home orders issued in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic in all of our communities, we may have less oversight over certain internal controls. While we have not identified any significant concerns to date with our internal controls, the change in work environment, team dynamics and job responsibilities could increase our risk of failure of internal controls, which could have a negative impact on our regulatory compliance and financial reporting.

Management has a process in place a process to document and analyze all identified internal control deficiencies and implement remedial measures sufficient to resolveremediate those deficiencies. To support our strategic initiatives, as well as to reflect the strategic shift in the business and to create operating efficiencies, we have implemented, and will continue to implement, new systems and processes. We will continue to realign our resources, including reductions in certain areas of corporate support operations, in line with our new strategies. If our projectchange management processes are not sound and adequate resources are not deployed to support these implementations and changes, we may experience additional internal control lapsesdeficiencies that could expose the Company to operating losses. However,Moreover, any failure to maintain effective controls or timely effectimplement any necessary improvement of our internal and disclosure controls in the future could harm operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations.

Our allowance for loancredit losses may prove inadequate or we may be negatively affected by credit risk exposures. Future additions to our allowance for loancredit losses, as well as charge-offs in excess of reserves, will reduce our earnings.


Our business depends on the creditworthiness of our customers. As with most financial institutions, we maintain an allowance for loancredit losses to reflect potential defaults and nonperformance, which represents management's best estimate of probable incurredexpected losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management's estimate is based on our continuing evaluation of specific credit risks and loan loss experience, current loan portfolio quality, present economic, political and regulatory conditions, industry concentrations and other factors that may indicate future loan losses. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and requires us to make estimates of current credit risks and future trends, all of which may undergo material changes. Generally, our nonperforming loans and OREO reflect operating difficulties of individual borrowers and weaknesses in the economies of the markets we serve. This allowance may not be adequate to cover actual losses, and future provisions for losses could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.


In addition to the uncertainty from the ongoing economic crisis related to the COVID-19 pandemic discussed above, which led to a substantial increase in our allowance for credit loss in the first quarter of 2020, we also changed our accounting standard regarding the recognition of loan losses at the beginning of this year. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, the new accounting standard promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), regarding the recognition of credit losses. This standard makes significant changes to the accounting and disclosures for credit losses on financial instruments recorded on an amortized cost basis, including our loans held for investment. The new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model requires an estimate of expected credit losses for financial assets measured over the contractual life of an instrument based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The standard provides significant flexibility and requires a high degree of judgment in order to develop an estimate of expected lifetime losses. Providing for lifetime losses for our loan portfolio is a change to the previous method of allowances for loan losses that are based on probable and incurred losses over a short-term horizon. We have only been using this model for one quarter, and so our experience with it is limited and even under normal circumstances, it may perform differently from our prior standard during different business cycles or because of changes to our loan portfolio. The new methodology is likely to be much more sensitive to changes in inputs such as economic forecasts and other factors which may cause significant impact on the allowance, and could create volatility in the provision for credit losses and net income, particularly in periods of downturn. Regulators may impose additional capital buffers to absorb this volatility. Moreover, with the new model we have risk of complying with the new accounting standard, which are still subject to review by our auditors and regulators.

In addition, as we have acquired new operations, we have added to our books the loans previously held by the acquired companies or related to the acquired branches, to our books, including loans acquired from Silvergate Bank in March 2019. If we make additional acquisitions in the future, we may bring additional loans originated by other institutions onto our books. Although we review loan quality as part of our due diligence in considering any acquisition involving loans, the addition of such loans may increase our credit risk exposure, require an increase in our allowance for loancredit losses, and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows stemming from losses on those acquired loans.

Uncertainty relating to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) calculation process and potential phasing out of LIBOR may adversely affect our results of operations.

On July 27, 2017, the Chief Executive of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which regulates LIBOR, announced that the FCA intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit rates for the calibration of LIBOR to the administrator of LIBOR after 2021. The announcement indicates that the continuation of LIBOR on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed after 2021. It is impossible to predict whether and to what extent banks will continue to provide LIBOR submissions to the administrator of LIBOR or whether any additional loans.reforms to LIBOR may be enacted in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. At this time, no consensus exists as to what rate or rates may become acceptable alternatives to LIBOR and it is impossible to predict the effect of any such alternatives on the value of LIBOR-based securities and variable rate loans, subordinated debentures, or other securities or financial arrangements, given LIBOR's role in determining market interest rates globally. The Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, selected a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities (SOFR) to replace LIBOR. SOFR is observed and backward looking, which stands in contrast with LIBOR under the current methodology, which is an estimated forward-looking rate and relies, to some degree, on the expert judgment of submitting panel members. Given that SOFR is a secured rate backed government securities, it will be a rate that does not take into account bank credit risk (which is different for LIBOR). SOFR is therefore likely to be lower than LIBOR and is less likely to correlate with the funding costs of financial institutions. Whether or not SOFR attains market traction as a LIBOR replacement tool remains in question, although some transactions using SOFR have been completed in 2019, and the future of LIBOR remains uncertain at this time. Uncertainty as to the nature of alternative reference rates and as to potential changes or


other reforms to LIBOR may adversely affect LIBOR rates and the value of LIBOR-based loans, and to a lesser extent, securities in our portfolio, and may impact the availability and cost of hedging instruments and borrowings, including the rates we pay on our subordinated debentures and trust preferred securities. If LIBOR rates are no longer available, and we are required to implement substitute indices for the calculation of interest rates under our loan agreements with our borrowers or our existing borrowings, we may incur significant expenses in effecting the transition, and may be subject to disputes or litigation with customers and creditors over the appropriateness or comparability to LIBOR of the substitute indices, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we report our financial condition and results of operations, and we use estimates in determining the fair value of certain of our assets, which estimates may prove to be imprecise and result in significant changes in valuation.


A portion of our assets are carried on the balance sheet at fair value, including investment securities available for sale, mortgage servicing rights related to single family loans and single family loans held for sale. Generally, for assets that are reported at fair value, we use quoted market prices or internal valuation models that use observable market data inputs to estimate their fair value. In certain cases, observable market prices and data may not be readily available, or their availability may be diminished due to market conditions. We use financial models to value certain of these assets. These models are complex and use asset-specific collateral data and market inputs for interest rates. Although we have processes and procedures in place governing internal valuation models and their testing and calibration, such assumptions are complex asbecause we must make judgments about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Different assumptions could result in significant changes in valuation, which in turn could affect earnings or result in significant changes in the dollar amount of assets reported on the balance sheet. As we grow the expectation for the sophistication of our models will increase andFrom time to time, we may needchoose to hire additional personnel with sufficient expertise.retire or replace existing financial models and reassess assumptions underlying the models, which may impact our valuation estimates.


Our funding sources may prove insufficient to replace deposits and support our future growth.


We must maintain sufficient funds to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers. As a part of our liquidity management, we use a number of funding sources in addition to core deposit growth and repayments and maturities of loans and investments, including Federal Home Loan Bank advances, proceeds from the sale of loans, federal funds purchased, brokered certificates of deposit and issuance of equity or debt securities. AdverseWhile we continue to have adequate liquidity even in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, uncertainties related to the pandemic and the related economic crisis, changes in global markets and customer demand, adverse operating results or changes in industry conditions could lead to difficulty or an inability to access these additional funding sources and could make our existing funds more volatile. Our financial flexibility may be materially constrained if we are unable to maintain our access to funding or if adequate financing is not available to accommodate future growth at acceptable interest rates. When interest rates increase,change, the cost of our funding often increases fastermay change at a different rate than we can increase our interest income. For example, in recent periods the FHLB has increased rates on their advances in a quick response to increases in rates by the Federal Reserve and implemented those increased costs earlier than we have been able to increase our own interest income. This asymmetry of the speed atincome, which interests rates rise on our liabilities as opposed to our assets may have a negative impact on our net interest income and, in turn, our financial results. If we are required to rely more heavily on more expensive funding sources to support future growth, our revenues may not increase proportionately to cover our costs. In that case, our operating margins and profitability would be adversely affected. Further, the volatility inherent in some of these funding sources, particularly brokered deposits, may increase our exposure to liquidity risk.


Our management of capital could adversely affect profitability measures and the market price of our common stock and could dilute the holders of our outstanding common stock.


OurSince our IPO in 2012, we have maintained our capital ratios areat a level that is higher than regulatory minimums.minimums to maintain well-capitalized levels. We may face a decrease in our capital ratios due to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, or we may choose to have a lower capital ratioratios in the future in order to take advantage of growth opportunities, including acquisition and organic loan growth, to return additional capital to our shareholders or in order to take advantage of a favorable investment opportunity. On the other hand, we may again in the future elect to raise capital through a sale of our debt or equity securities in order to have additional resources to pursue our growth, including by acquisition, fund our business needs and meet our commitments, or as a response to changes in economic conditions that make capital raising a prudent choice. In the event the quality of our assets or our economic position were to deteriorate significantly, as a result of downgrades in credit quality related to the COVID-19 pandemic, market forces or otherwise, we may also need to raise additional capital in order to remain compliant with capital standards.


We may not be able to raise such additional capital at the time when we need it, or on terms that are acceptable to us. OurCapital markets may be especially constrained during the COVID-19 pandemic, and our ability to raise additional capital will depend in part on conditions in the capital markets at the time, which are outside our control, and in part on our financial performance. Further, if we need to raise capital in the future, especially if it is in response to changing market conditions, we may need to do so when many other financial institutions are also seeking to raise capital, which would create competition for investors. An

inability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms when needed could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, any capital raising alternatives could dilute the holders of our outstanding common stock and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.


Changes in government-sponsored enterprises and their ability to insure or to buy our loans in the secondary market may result in significant changes in our ability to recognize income on sale of our loans to third parties.

We originate a substantial portion of our single family mortgage loans for sale to government-sponsored enterprises ("GSE") such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. Changes in the types of loans purchased by these GSEs or the program requirements for those entities could adversely impact our ability to sell certain of the loans we originate for sale. For example, as a result of Section 309 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, which was enacted into law in May 2018, a few of our VA-qualified loans we had originated for sale to Ginnie Mae were deemed to be ineligible for sale to Ginnie Mae under the revised terms of that entity’s program and we were required to find a different way to sell these loans. Such changes are difficult to predict and can have a negative impact on our cash flow and results of operations.

The integration of recent and future acquisitions could consume significant resources and may not be successful.


We completed four whole-bank acquisitions and acquired nine stand-alone branches between September 2013 and March 31, 2019,2020, all of which required substantial resources and costs related to the acquisition and integration process. There are certain risks related to the integration of operations of acquired banks and branches, which we may continue to encounter if we acquire other banks or branches in the future, including risks related to the investigation and consideration of the potential acquisition

and the costs of undertaking such a transaction, as well as integrating acquired businesses into the Company, including risks that arise after the transaction is completed. Difficulties in pursuing or integrating any new acquisitions, and potential discoveries of additional losses or undisclosed liabilities with respect to the assets and liabilities of acquired companies, may increase our costs and adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Further, even if we successfully address these factors and are successful in closing acquisitions and integrating our systems with the acquired systems, we may nonetheless experience customer losses, or we may fail to grow the acquired businesses as we intend or to operate the acquired businesses at a level that would avoid losses or justify our investments in those companies.

In addition, we may choose to issue additional common stock for future acquisitions, or we may instead choose to pay the consideration in cash or a combination of stock and cash. Any issuances of stock relating to an acquisition may have a dilutive effect on earnings per share, book value per share or the percentage ownership of existing shareholders depending on the value of the assets or entity acquired. Alternatively, the use of cash as consideration in any such acquisitions could impact our capital position and may require us to raise additional capital.


If we breach any of the representations or warranties we make to a purchaser or securitizer of our loans or MSRs, we may be liable to the purchaser or securitizer for certain costs and damages.


When we sell or securitize loans, we are required to make certain representations and warranties to the purchaser about the loans and the manner in which they were originated. Our agreements require us to repurchase loans if we have breached any of these representations or warranties, in which case we may be required to repurchase such loan and record a loss upon repurchase and/or bear any subsequent loss on the loan. We may not have any remedies available to us against a third party for such losses, or the remedies available to us may not be as broad as the remedies available to the purchaser of the loan against us. In addition, if there are remedies against a third party available to us, we face further risk that such third party may not have the financial capacity to perform remedies that otherwise may be available to us. Therefore, if a purchaser enforces remedies against us, we may not be able to recover our losses from a third party and may be required to bear the full amount of the related loss.


We recentlyIn 2019, we sold a substantial portion of our MSRs related to our large scale mortgage business, which may increase our exposure to these risks in the short term due to the volume of MSR sales outside of our historical ordinary course of business.


If we experience increased repurchase and indemnity demands on loans or MSRs that we have sold or that we sell from our portfolios due to the increased volume of sales in the first quarter or otherwise,future, our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.


If we breach any representations or warranties or fail to follow guidelines when originating a FHA/HUD-insured loan or a VA-guaranteed loan, we may lose the insurance or guarantee on the loan and suffer losses, pay penalties, and/or be subjected to litigation from the federal government.


We originate and purchase, sell and thereafter service single family loans, some of which are insured by FHA/HUD or guaranteed by the VA. We certify to the FHA/HUD and the VA that the loans meet their requirements and guidelines. The FHA/HUD and VA audit loans that are insured or guaranteed under their programs, including audits of our processes and procedures as well as individual loan documentation. Violations of guidelines can result in monetary penalties or require us to provide indemnifications against loss or loans declared ineligible for their programs. In the past, monetary penalties and losses from indemnifications have not created material losses to the Bank. FHA/HUD perform regular audits, and HUD's Inspector General is active in enforcing FHA regulations with respect to individual loans, including partnering with the Department of Justice

("DOJ") to bring lawsuits against lenders for systemic violations. The penalties resulting from such lawsuits can be severe, since systemic violations can be applied to groups of loans and penalties may be subject to treble damages. The DOJ has used the Federal False Claims Act and other federal laws and regulations in prosecuting these lawsuits. Because of our significant origination of FHA/HUD insured and VA guaranteed loans, if the DOJ were to find potential violations by the Bank, we could be subject to material monetary penalties and/or losses, and may even be subject to lawsuits alleging systemic violations which could result in treble damages.

We may face risk of loss if we purchase loans from a seller that fails to satisfy its indemnification obligations.

We generally receive representations and warranties from the originators and sellers from whom we purchase loans and servicing rights such that if a loan defaults and there has been a breach of such representations and warranties, we may be able to pursue a remedy against the seller of the loan for the unpaid principal and interest on the defaulted loan. However, if the originator and/or seller breaches such representations and warranties and does not have the financial capacity to pay the related damages, we may be subject to the risk of loss for such loan as the originator or seller may not be able to pay such damages or

repurchase loans when called upon by us to do so. Currently, we only purchase loans from WMS Series LLC, an affiliated business arrangement with certain Windermere real estate brokerage franchise owners.


Changes in fee structures by third party loan purchasers may decrease our loan production volume and the margin we can recognize on loans and may adversely impact our results of operations.


Changes in the fee structures by third party loan purchasers may increase our costs of doing business and, in turn, increase the cost of loans to our customers and the cost of selling loans to third party loan purchasers. Increases in those costs could in turn decrease our margin and negatively impact our profitability. Were any of our third party loan purchasers to make such changes in the future, it may have a negative impact on our ability to originate loans to be sold because of the increased costs of such loans and may decrease our profitability with respect to loans held for sale. In addition, any significant adverse change in the level of activity in the secondary market or the underwriting criteria of these third party loan purchasers could negatively impact our results of business, operations and cash flows.


We may incur additional costs in placing loans if our third party purchasers discontinue doing business with us for any reason.
We rely on third party purchasers with whom we place loans as a source of funding for the loans we make to customers. Occasionally, third party loan purchasers may go out of business, elect to exit the market or choose to cease doing business with us for a myriadvariety of reasons, including but not limited to the increased burdens on purchasers related to compliance, adverse market conditions or other pressures on the industry. In the event that one or more third party purchasers goes out of business, exits the market or otherwise ceases to do business with us at a time when we have loans that have been placed with such purchaser but not yet sold, we may incur additional costs to sell those loans to other purchasers or may have to retain such loans, which could negatively impact our results of operations and our capital position.
Our real estate lending may expose us to environmental liabilities.


In the course of our business, it is necessary to foreclose and take title to real estate, including commercial real estate which could subject us to environmental liabilities with respect to these properties. Hazardous substances or waste, contaminants, pollutants or sources thereof may be discovered on properties during our ownership or after a sale to a third party. We could be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage, personal injury, investigation and clean-up costs incurred in connection with environmental contamination or may be required to investigate or clean up hazardous or toxic substances or chemical releases at such properties. The costs associated with investigation or remediation activities could be substantial and could substantially exceed the value of the real property. In addition, if we were to be an owner or former owner of a contaminated site, we may be subject to common law claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the property. We may be unable to recover costs from any third party. These occurrences may materially reduce the value of the affected property, and we may find it difficult or impossible to use or sell the property prior to or following any environmental remediation. If we become subject to significant environmental liabilities, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.




Market-Related Risks


Fluctuations in interest rates could adversely affect the value of our assets and reduce our net interest income and noninterest income, thereby adversely affecting our earnings and profitability.


Interest rates may be affected by many factors beyond our control, including general and economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities. For example, unexpected increases in interest rates can result in an increaseda higher percentage of rate lock customers closing loans, which would in turn increase our costs relative to income. In addition, increasesOn the other hand, decreases in interest rates may increase loan prepayment speeds, resulting in recent periods hasan overall decrease in the yield of our loan portfolio, and may have a negative impact on our net interest margins and results of operations. Changes in interest rates over the past year have impacted our business. Rising interest rates in 2018 reduced our mortgage revenues by reducing the market for refinancings, which hasrefinancing, thereby negatively impactedimpacting demand for certain of our residential loan products and the revenue realized on the sale of loans which, in turn, may negatively impactand our noninterest income and, to a lesser extent, our net interest income. Subsequently, decreasing interest rates in 2019 negatively impacted our net interest margin while also reducing the overall yield of our loans held for investment portfolio because existing loans bearing higher interest rates were prepaid at a faster rate and replaced in the portfolio with lower interest rate loans.

Market volatility in interest rates also can be difficult to predict, as unexpected interest rate changes may result in a sudden impact while anticipated changes in interest rates generally impact the mortgage rate market prior to the actual rate change.


Our earnings are also dependent on the difference between the interest earned on loans and investments and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Changes in market interest rates impact the rates earned on loans and investment securities and the rates paid on deposits and borrowings and may negatively impact our ability to attract deposits, make loans, and achieve

satisfactory interest rate spreads, which could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. In addition, changes to market interest rates may impact the level of loans, deposits and investments and the credit quality of existing loans.


Asymmetrical changes in interest rates, for example a greater increase in short term rates than in long term rates, could adversely impact our net interest income because our liabilities, including advances from the FHLB and interest payable on our deposits, tend to be more sensitive to short term rates while our assets tend to be more sensitive to long term rates. In addition, it may take longer for our assets to reprice to adjust to a new rate environment because fixed rate loans do not fluctuate with interest rate changes and adjustable rate loans often have a specified period of readjustment.reset. As a result, a flattening or an inversion of the yield curve, such as occurred in the third quarter of 2019, is likely to have a negative impact on our net interest income.


Our securities portfolio also includes securities that are insured or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises and other securities that are sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. The unrealized gains or losses in our available-for-sale portfolio are reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity until realized upon sale. Interest rate fluctuations may impact the value of these securities and as a result, shareholders' equity, and may cause material fluctuations from quarter to quarter. Failure to hold our securities until maturity or until market conditions are favorable for a sale could adversely affect our financial condition.


The financial services industry is highly competitive.

We face pricing competition for loans and deposits. We also face competition with respect to customer convenience, product lines, accessibility of service and service capabilities. Our most direct competition comes from other banks, credit unions, mortgage companies and savings institutions but more recently has also come from financial technology (or "fintech") companies that rely heavily on technology to provide financial services and often target a younger customer demographic. The significant competition in attracting and retaining deposits and making loans as well as in providing other financial services throughout our market area may impact future earnings and growth. Our success depends, in part, on the ability to adapt products and services to evolving industry standards and provide consistent customer service while keeping costs in line. There is increasing pressure to provide products and services at lower prices, which can reduce net interest income and non-interest income from fee-based products and services. New technology-driven products and services are often introduced and adopted, including innovative ways that customers can make payments, access products and manage accounts. We could be required to make substantial capital expenditures to modify or adapt existing products and services or develop new products and services. We may not be successful in introducing new products and services or those new products may not achieve market acceptance. We could lose business, be forced to price products and services on less advantageous terms to retain or attract clients, or be subject to cost increases if we do not effectively develop and implement new technology. In addition, advances in technology such as telephone, text and on-line banking, e-commerce and self-service automatic teller machines and other equipment, as well as changing customer preferences to access our products and services through digital channels, could decrease the value of


our branch network and other assets. As a result of these competitive pressures, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected.

We arehave significantly decreasingdecreased our home loan mortgage origination operationscapacity with our new business model which may limit our ability to increase our volume significantly in the event of a significant improvement in the mortgage market.


Due primarily to a combination of increases in mortgage rates after many years of record low rates and a nationwide contraction in the number of homes available for sale, which is especially acute in our primary markets, we experienced a significant reduction in the overall number of mortgage products being purchased in the market is significantly reduced frompast two to three years as compared to prior periods. In response to those market conditions, in 2019 we have entered into a series of transactions through which we expect to sellsold or divested substantially all of the assets related to our HLC-basedstand alone home loan center-based mortgage origination business, including a significant portion of our mortgage servicing rights portfolio originated through those channels. We facilitated the transfer of a significant number of our related employees to the purchaser of those assets and have further adoptedterminated a plannumber of exit or disposalother related positions. We also sold our interest in WMS Series LLC, an affiliated entity owned by us and Windermere Real Estate which originated single family loans that calls forwere generally immediately sold to HomeStreet pursuant to a correspondent purchase arrangement. Our branch based mortgage business which commenced operations on April 1, 2019 is significantly smaller than our legacy HLC based mortgage origination business. The mortgage market improved significantly, at least in the closureshort term, with historically low interest rates at the beginning of 2020, and while we were able to capture a portion of the HLC-related offices and termination of related personnel in the eventincreased demand, we are not successful in selling those assets. We therefore will have a significantly smaller mortgage operation going forward. If the mortgage market were to significantly improve, we woulddo not have the capacity to originate mortgages toat the volume levels we have had in recent years, whichyears. If this demand for single family mortgage products were to be sustained over a longer period, this decrease in our capacity would limit our ability to capitalize on that market.


The price of our common stock is subject to volatility.
The price of our common stock has fluctuated in the past and may face additional and potentially substantial fluctuations in the future. Among the factors that may impact our stock price are the following:
Global economic events, such as the economic crisis related to the COVID-19 outbreak
Market responses to times of considerable uncertainty
Variances in our operating results;
Disparity between our operating results and the operating results of our competitors;
Changes in analyst's estimates of our earnings results and future performance, or variances between our actual performance and that forecast by analysts;
News releases or other announcements of material events relating to the Company, including but not limited to mergers, acquisitions, expansion plans, restructuring activities or other strategic developments;
Statements made by activist investors criticizing our strategy, our management team or our Board of Directors;
Future securities offerings by us of debt or equity securities;
Repurchase activity by us under our stock repurchase program;
Addition or departure of key personnel;
Market-wide events that may be seen by the market as impacting the Company;
The presence or absence of short-selling of our common stock;
General financial conditions of the country or the regions in which we operate;
Trends in real estate in our primary markets;
Trends relating to the economic markets generally; or
Changes in laws and regulations affecting financial institutions.


The stock markets in general experience substantial price and trading fluctuations, and suchfluctuations. Such changes may create volatility in the market as a whole or in the stock prices of securities related to particular industries or companies that are unrelated or disproportionate to changes in operating performance of the Company. Such volatility may have an adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock.



CurrentA decline in certain economic conditions continue to pose significant challenges for us and could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.


We generate revenue from the interest and fees we charge on the loans and other products and services we sell, and asell. A substantial amount of our revenue and earnings comes from the net interest income and noninterest income that we earn from our commercial lending and mortgage banking businesses. Our operations have been, and will continue to be, materially affected by the state of the U.S. economy and regional economies where we do business, particularly unemployment levels and home prices. The economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term, have resulted in an unemployment rate that is much higher than any unemployment rate we have experienced in the past, and has been accompanied by a sharp decline in

the U.S. economy. A prolonged period of very high unemployment, economic decline, continued deterioration of general economic conditions, a slow recovery from the decline experienced so far of slow growth or a pronounced decline in the U.S. economy, or any deterioration in general economic conditions and/or the financial markets resulting from these factors, or any other events or factors that may signal a prolonged return to a recessionary economic environment, couldwill likely dampen consumer confidence, adversely impact the models we use to assess creditworthiness, and materially adversely affect our financial results and condition. If the economy worsens and unemployment rises, which also would likely result in aThis expected decrease in consumer and business confidence and spending in the face of the current uncertain economic climate may lead to a drop in demand for our credit products, including our mortgages, may fall, reducingwhich will reduce our net interest income and noninterest income and our earnings. Significant and unexpected market developments may also make it more challenging for us to properlyaccurately forecast our expected financial results.

A change in federal monetary policy could adversely impact our revenues from lending activities.

The Federal Reserve is responsible for regulating the supply of money in the United States, and as a result, its monetary policies strongly influence our costs of funds for lending and investing, as well as the rate of return we are able to earn on those loans and investments, both of which impact our net interest income and net interest margin. Changes in interest rates may increase our cost of capital or decrease the income we receive from interest bearing assets, and asymmetrical changes in short term and long-term interest rates may result in a more rapid increase in the costs related to interest-bearing liabilities such as FHLB advances and interest-bearing deposit accounts without a correlated increase in the income from interest-bearing assets which are typically more sensitive to long-term interest rates. The Federal Reserve Board's interest rate policies can also materially affect the value of financial instruments we hold, including debt securities, MSRs and derivative instruments used to hedge against changes in the value of our MSRs. These monetary policies can also negatively impact our borrowers, which in turn may increase the risk that they will be unable to pay their loans according to the terms or be unable to pay their loans at all. We have no control over the Federal Reserve Board’s policies and cannot predict when changes are expected or what the magnitude of such changes may be.


A portion of our revenue is derived from residential mortgage lending which is a market sector that experiences significant volatility.


Historically, a substantial portion of our consolidated net revenues (net interest income plus noninterest income) have been derived from originating and selling residential mortgages. While we have entered into a series of transactions that willrecently significantly decreasedecreased the size of our residential mortgage business through the sale of our HLC-based mortgage business and our interest in WMS Series LLC, we expect to continue to offer mortgage lending on a smaller scale, and therefore will still beremain subject to the volatility of that market sector. Residential mortgage lending in general has experienced substantial volatility in recent periods due to changes in interest rates, a significant lack of housing inventory caused by an increase in demand for housing at a time of decreased supply in our principal markets, and other market forces beyond our control. Lack of housing inventory limits our ability to originate purchase mortgages because it may take longer for loan applicants to find a home to buy after being pre-approved for a loan, which results in the Company incurring costs related to the pre-approval without being able to book the revenue from an actual loan. In addition, interest rate changes may result in lower rate locks and higher closed loan volume which can negatively impact our financial results because we book revenue at the time we enter into rate lock agreements after adjusting for the estimated percentage of loans that are not expected to actually close, which we refer to as "fallout"."fallout." When interest rates rise, the level of fallout as a percentage of rate locks declines, which results in higher costs relative to income for that period, which may adversely impact our earnings and results of operations. In addition, an increase in interest rates may materially and adversely affect our future loan origination volume, margins, and the value of the collateral securing our outstanding loans, may increase rates of borrower default, and may otherwise adversely affect our business.



We may incur losses due to changes in prepayment rates.


Our mortgageloan servicing rights carry interest rate risk because the total amount of servicing fees earned, as well as changes in fair-market value, fluctuate based on expected loan prepayments (affecting the expected average life of a portfolio of residential mortgage servicing rights). The rate of prepayment of loans generally may be impacted by changes in interest rates and general economic conditions while residential mortgage loans also may be influenced by changing national and regional economic trends, such as recessions or stagnatingpressures in the local real estate markets, as well as the difference between interest rates on existing residential mortgage loans relative to prevailing residential mortgage rates.among other things. During periods of declining interest rates, or increases in real estate values, many residential borrowers refinance their mortgage loans. Changes in prepayment rates are therefore difficult for us to predict. The loan administrationservicing fee income (related to the residential mortgage loan servicing rights corresponding to a mortgage loan) decreases as mortgage loans are prepaid. Consequently, in the event of an increase in prepayment rates, we would expect the fair value of portfolios of residential mortgage loan servicing rights to decrease along with the amount of loan administrationservicing income received. In the first quarter of 2019, we sold a significant portion of our mortgage servicing rights, however we will continue to be exposed to such risks on a smaller scale with respect to the servicing rights we expect to retain going forward.



Regulatory-Related Risks


We are subject to extensive regulation that may restrict our activities, including declaring cash dividends or capital distributions or pursuing growth initiatives and acquisition activities, and imposes financial requirements or limitations on the conduct of our business.


Our operations are subject to extensive regulation by federal, state and local governmental authorities, including the FDIC, the Washington Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Board, and to various laws and judicial and administrative decisions imposing requirements and restrictions on part or all of our operations. The laws, rules and regulations to which we are subject evolve and change frequently, including changes that come from judicial or regulatory agency interpretations of laws and regulations outside of the legislative process that may be more difficult to anticipate. We are subject to various examinations by our regulators during the course of the year. Regulatory authorities who conduct these examinations have extensive discretion in their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the authority to restrict our operations, our growth and our acquisition activity, adversely reclassify our assets, determine the level of deposit insurance premiums assessed, require us to increase our allowance for loan losses, require customer restitution and impose fines or other penalties. The levelFor example, in November 2019, we entered into a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of discretion,an Order to Pay Civil Money Penalty (the “Stipulation and Consent”) with the extentFDIC based on alleged violations of potential penaltiesthe Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act raised by the FDIC during a 2016 compliance examination relating to certain marketing programs. These marketing programs, all of which we have terminated, were associated with the stand-alone home loan center mortgage origination business that we discontinued in 2019, and other remedies,is accounted for in discontinued operations. We paid a civil money penalty of $1.35 million in connection with the Stipulation and Consent. We have increased substantially during recent years. Wefully resolved the matters that were at issue in the Stipulation and Consent without any additional sanctions. In addition, we have, in the past, been subject to specific regulatory orders that constrained our business and required us to take measures that investors may have deemed undesirable, and we may again in the future be subject to such orders if banking regulators were to determine that our operations require such restrictions or if they determine that remediation of operational or other legal or regulatory deficiencies is required.


In addition, recent political shifts in the United States may result in additional significant changes in legislation and regulations that impact us, although the possibility, nature and extent of any repeals or revisions to Dodd-Frank or any other regulations impacting financial institutions are not presently known and we cannot predict whether or not these changes will come to pass. These circumstances lead to additional uncertainty regarding our regulatory environment and the cost and requirements for compliance. We are unable to predict whether federal or state authorities, or other pertinent bodies, will enact legislations, laws, rules or regulations that will impact our business or operations. Further, an increasing amount of the regulatory authority that pertains to financial institutions is in the form of informal "guidance" such as handbooks, guidelines, examination manuals, field interpretations by regulators or similar provisions that will affect our business or require changes in our practices in the future even if they are not formally adopted as laws or regulations. Any such changes could adversely affect our cost of doing business and our profitability.


Changes in regulation of our industry have the potential to create higher costs of compliance, including short-term costs to meet new compliance standards, limit our ability to pursue business opportunities and increase our exposure to potential fines, penalties and litigation.



Policies and regulations enacted by CFPB may negatively impact our residential mortgage loan business and increase our compliance risk.


Our consumer business, including our mortgage, credit card, and other consumer lending and non-lending businesses, may be adversely affected by the policies enacted or regulations adopted by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB") which under the Dodd-Frank Act has broad rulemaking authority over consumer financial products and services. For example, in January 2014 federal regulations promulgated by the CFPB took effect which impact how we originate and service residential mortgage loans. Those regulations, among other things, require mortgage lenders to assess and document a borrower's ability to repay their mortgage loan while providing borrowers the ability to challenge foreclosures and sue for damages based on allegations that the lender failed to meet the standard for determining the borrower's ability to repay their loan. While the regulations include presumptions in favor of the lender based on certain loan underwriting criteria, they have not yet been challenged widely in courts and it is uncertain how these presumptions will be construed and applied by courts in the event of litigation. The ultimate impact of these regulations on the lender's enforcement of its loan documents in the event of a loan default, and the cost and expense of doing so, is uncertain, but may be significant. In addition, the secondary market demand for loans that do not fall within the presumptively safest category of a "qualified mortgage" as defined by the CFPB is uncertain. Furthermore, the CFPB is considering allowing the “GSE Patch” provision of these regulations to expire. The “GSE Patch” grants a safe harbor to lenders, such as HomeStreet, to originate loans over a 43 percent debt to income (“DTI”) ratio and to use Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac standards for documentation. The impact of the expiration of this provision on HomeStreet and the U.S. mortgage market is uncertain. Finally, the 2014 regulations also require changes to certain loan servicing procedures and practices, which have resulted in increased foreclosure costs and longer foreclosure timelines in the event of loan default, and failure to comply with the new servicing rules may result in additional litigation and compliance risk.


The CFPB was also given authority over the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, or RESPA, under the Dodd-Frank Act and has, in some cases, interpreted RESPA requirements differently than other agencies, regulators and judicial opinions. As a result, certain practices that have been considered standard in the industry, including relationships that have been established between mortgage lenders and others in the mortgage industry such as developers, realtors and insurance providers, are now being subjected to additional scrutiny under RESPA. Our regulators, including the FDIC, review our practices for compliance with RESPA as interpreted by the CFPB. Changes in RESPA requirements and the interpretation of RESPA requirements by our regulators may result in adverse examination findings by our regulators, which could result inleading to enforcement action,actions, fines and penalties, such as those associated with the recent Stipulation and negatively impact our ability to pursue our growth plans, branch expansion and limit our acquisition activity.Consent discussed above.


In addition to RESPA compliance, the Bank is also subject to the CFPB's Final Integrated Disclosure Rule, commonly known as TRID, which became effective in October 2015. Among other things, TRID requires lenders to combine the initial Good Faith Estimate and Initial Truth in Lending disclosures into a single new Loan Estimate disclosure and the HUD-1 and Final TIL disclosures into a single new Closing Disclosure. The definition of an application and timing requirements has changed, and a new Closing Disclosure waiting period has been added. These changes, along with other changes required by TRID, require significant systems modifications, process and procedure changes. Failure to comply with these new requirements may result in payment of restitution to customers for disclosure defects, regulatory penalties for disclosure and other violations under RESPA and the Truth In Lending Act ("TILA"), and private right of action under TILA, and may impact our ability to sell or the price we receive for certain loans.


In addition, the CFPB has adopted and largely implemented additional rules under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act ("HMDA") that are intended to improve information reported about the residential mortgage market and increase disclosure about consumer access to mortgage credit. The updates to the HMDA increase the types of dwelling-secured loans that are subject to the disclosure requirements of the rule and expand the categories of information that financial institutions such as the Bank are required to report with respect to such loans and such borrowers, including potentially sensitive customer information. Most of the rule's provisions went into effect on January 1, 2018. These changes increased our compliance costs due to the need for additional resources to meet the enhanced disclosure requirements as well as informational systems to allow the Bank to properly capture and report the additional mandated information. The volume of new data that is required to be reported under the updated rules will also cause the Bank to face an increased risk of errors in the processing of such information. More importantly, because of the sensitive nature of some of the additional customer information to be included in such reports, the Bank may face a higher potential for security breaches resulting in the disclosure of sensitive customer information in the event the HMDA reporting files were obtained by an unauthorized party.



Interpretation of federal and state legislation, case law or regulatory action may negatively impact our business.


Regulatory and judicial interpretation of existing and future federal and state legislation, case law, judicial orders and regulations could also require us to revise our operations and change certain business practices, impose additional costs, reduce our revenue and earnings and otherwise adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. For instance, judges interpreting legislation and judicial decisions made during the recent financial crisis could allow modification of the terms of residential mortgages in bankruptcy proceedings which could hinder our ability to foreclose promptly on defaulted mortgage loans or expand assignee liability for certain violations in the mortgage loan origination process, any or all of which could adversely affect our business or result in our being held responsible for violations in the mortgage loan origination process. In addition, the exercise by regulators of revised and at times expanded powers under existing or future regulations could materially and negatively impact the profitability of our business, the value of assets we hold or the collateral available for our loans, require changes to business practices, limit our ability to pursue growth strategies or force us to discontinue certain business practices and expose us to additional costs, taxes, liabilities, penalties, enforcement actions and reputational risk.


Such judicial decisions or regulatory interpretations may affect the manner in which we do business and the products and services that we provide, restrict our ability to grow through acquisition, restrict our ability to compete in our current business or expand into any new business, and impose additional fees, assessments or taxes on us or increase our regulatory oversight.


Federal, state and local consumer protection laws may restrict our ability to offer and/or increase our risk of liability with respect to certain products and services and could increase our cost of doing business.


Federal, state and local laws have been adopted that are intended to eliminate certain practices considered "predatory" or "unfair and deceptive". These laws prohibit practices such as steering borrowers away from more affordable products, failing to disclose key features, limitations, or costs related to products and services, failing to provide advertised benefits, selling unnecessary insurance to borrowers, repeatedly refinancing loans, imposing excessive fees for overdrafts, and making loans without a reasonable expectation that the borrowers will be able to repay the loans irrespective of the value of the underlying property. It is our policy not to make predatory loans or engage in deceptive practices, but these laws and regulations create the potential for liability with respect to our lending, servicing, loan investment, deposit taking and other financial activities. As a company with a significantthat originates single family mortgage banking operation,loans, we also, inherently, have a significant amount of risk of noncompliance with fair lending laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are complex and require vigilance to ensure that policies and practices do not create disparate impact on our customers or that our employees do not engage in overt discriminatory practices. Noncompliance can result in significant regulatory actions including, but not limited to, sanctions, fines or referrals to the Department of Justice and restrictions on our ability to execute our growth and expansion plans. These risks are enhanced because of our growth activities as we integrate operations from our acquisitions and expand our geographic markets. AsIf we offer products and services to customers in additional states, we may become subject to additional state and local laws designed to protect consumers. The additional laws and regulations may increase our cost of doing business and ultimately may prevent us from making certain loans, offering certain products, and may cause us to reduce the average percentage rate or the points and fees on loans and other products and services that we do provide.


If our enterprise risk management framework is not effective at mitigating risk and loss to us, we could suffer unexpected losses and our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our enterprise risk management framework seeks to achieve an appropriate balance between risk and return, which is critical to optimizing stockholder value. We have established processes and procedures intended to identify, measure, monitor, report, analyze and control the types of risk to which we are subject. These risks include liquidity risk, credit risk, price risk, interest rate risk, operational risk, legal and compliance risk, strategic risk, and reputational risk, among others. We also maintain a compliance program to identify, measure, assess, and report on our adherence to applicable laws, policies and procedures. While we assess and improve these programs on an ongoing basis, including updating our risk assessment and reporting to address COVID-19 related risks, there can be no assurance that our risk management or compliance programs, along with other related controls, will effectively mitigate all risk and limit losses in our business. However, as with any risk management framework, there are inherent limitations to our risk management strategies as there may exist, or develop in the future, risks that we have not appropriately anticipated or identified. If our risk management framework proves ineffective, we could suffer unexpected losses, our business financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected, and we could be subject to regulatory criticism or restrictions.

Significant legal or regulatory actions could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities and reputational harm and have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.


We are from time to time subject to claims and proceedings related to our operations. These claims and legal actions could include supervisory or enforcement actions by our regulators, or criminal proceedings by prosecutorial authorities, or claims by former and current employees, including class, collective and representative actions. Such actions are a substantial management distraction and could involve large monetary claims, including civil money penalties or fines imposed by government authorities and significant defense costs. For example, since 2016 we used considerable management time and resources and incurred additional legal and other costs associated with the matters resulting in the recent Stipulation and Consent Agreement with the FDIC in November 2019, pursuant to which we recently paid a penalty of $1.35 million.

To mitigate the cost of some of these claims, we maintain insurance coverage in amounts and with deductibles that we believe are appropriate for our operations. However, our insurance coverage does not cover any civil money penalties or fines imposed by government authorities and may not cover all other claims that might be brought against us, including certain wage and hour class, collective and representative actions brought by employees or former employees. In addition, such insurance coverage may not continue to be available to us at a reasonable cost.cost or at all. As a result, we may be exposed to substantial uninsured liabilities, which could adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. Substantial legal liability or significant regulatory action against us could cause significant reputational harm to us and/or could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.




We are subject to more stringent capital requirements under Basel III.


As of January 1, 2015, we became subject to new rules relating to capital standards requirements, including requirements contemplated by Section 171 of the Dodd-Frank Act as well as certain standards initially adopted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, which standards are commonly referred to as Basel III. Many of these rules apply to both the Company and the Bank, including increased common equity Tier 1 capital ratios, Tier 1 leverage ratios, Tier 1 risk-based ratios and total risk-based ratios. In addition, beginning in 2016, all institutions subject to Basel III, including the Company and the Bank are required to establish a "conservation buffer" that took full effect on January 1, 2019. This conservation buffer consists of common equity Tier 1 capital and is now required to be 2.5% above existing minimum capital ratio requirements. This means that, in order to prevent certain regulatory restrictions, the common equity Tier 1 capital ratio requirement is now 7.0%, the Tier 1 risk-based ratio requirement is 8.5% and the total risk-based capital ratio requirement is 10.5%. Any institution that does not meet the conservation buffer will be subject to restrictions on certain activities including payment of dividends, stock repurchases and discretionary bonuses to executive officers.


Additional prompt corrective action rules implemented in 2015 also apply to the Bank, including higher and new ratio requirements for the Bank to be considered "well-capitalized." The new rules also modify the manner for determining when certain capital elements are included in the ratio calculations, including but not limited to, requiring certain deductions related to MSRs and deferred tax assets. For more on these regulatory requirements and how they apply to the Company and the Bank, see "Business - Regulation and Supervision of HomeStreet Bank - Capital and Prompt Corrective Action Requirements - Capital Requirements" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. The application of more stringent capital requirements could, among other things, result in lower returns on invested capital and result in regulatory actions if we were to be unable to comply with such requirements. In addition, if we need to raise additional equity capital in order to meet these more stringent requirements, our shareholders may be diluted.

Changes in accounting standards may require us to increase our Allowance for Loan Losses and could materially impact our financial statements.

From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") and the SEC change the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of our financial statements. These changes can materially impact how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations. For example, in June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses(Topic 326) which changes, among other things, the way companies must record expected credit losses on financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held for investment, available for sale and held-to-maturity debt securities, trade and other receivables, net investment in leases and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. ASU 2016-13 requires that financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. This differs from current US GAAP which is based on incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio and moves to a current estimate of all expected credit losses based on relevant information about past events including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for us beginning on January 1, 2020.

For purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination ("PCD assets") that are measured at amortized cost, an allowance for expected credit losses will be recorded as an adjustment to the cost basis of the asset. Subsequent changes in estimated cash flows would be recorded as an adjustment to the allowance and through the statement of income. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a direct write-down to the security's cost basis. For most debt securities, the transition approach requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first reporting period the guidance is effective. For other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and PCD assets, the guidance will be applied prospectively.

We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU to determine the impact and developing appropriate systems to prepare for compliance with this new standard; however, we expect the new standard could have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

HomeStreet, Inc. primarily relies on dividends from the Bank, which may be limited by applicable laws and regulations.


HomeStreet, Inc. is a separate legal entity from the Bank, and although we may receive some dividends from HomeStreet Capital Corporation, the primary source of our funds from which we service our debt, pay any dividends that we may declare to our shareholders and otherwise satisfy our obligations is dividends from the Bank. The availability of dividends from the Bank is limited by various statutes and regulations, capital rules regarding requirements to maintain a "well capitalized" ratio at the bank, as well as by our policy of retaining a significant portion of our earnings to support the Bank's operations. See

"Management's "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital ResourcesCapital Management" as well as "Regulation and Supervision of HomeStreet Bank - Capital and Prompt Corrective Action Requirements" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. If the Bank cannot pay dividends to us, we may be limited in our ability to service our debts,debt, fund the Company's operations and acquisition plans and pay dividends to the Company's shareholders. WhileIn the Company has paid special dividends in some prior quarters, we have notfirst quarter of 2020, the Board of Directors adopted a policy to pay quarterly dividends and in recent yearsto holders of our Boardcommon stock, however, the declaration of Directors has elected to retain capital for growth rather than to declare a dividend. While management has recently discussed the possibility of paying dividends in the near future, we have not declaredsuch dividends in any recent quarters, andquarter as well as the potentialamount of future dividends isany quarterly dividend remains subject to board approval, cash flow limitations, capital requirements, capital and strategic needs and other factors.

The financial services industry is highly competitive.

We face pricing competition for loans and deposits. We also face competition with respect to customer convenience, product lines, accessibility of service and service capabilities. Our most direct competition comes from other banks, credit unions, mortgage companies and savings institutions but more recently has also come from financial technology (or "fintech") companies that rely heavily on technology to provide financial services and often target a younger customer demographic. The significant competition in attracting and retaining deposits and making loans as well as in providing other financial services throughout our market area may impact future earnings and growth. Our success depends, in part, on the ability to adapt products and services to evolving industry standards and provide consistent customer service while keeping costs in line. There is increasing pressure to provide products and services at lower prices, which can reduce net interest income and non-interest income from fee-based products and services. New technology-driven products and services are often introduced and adopted, including innovative ways that customers can make payments, access products and manage accounts. We could be required to make substantial capital expenditures to modify or adapt existing products and services or develop new products and services. We may not be successful in introducing new products and services or those new products may not achieve market acceptance. We could lose business, be forced to price products and services on less advantageous terms to retain or attract clients, or be subject to cost increases if we do not effectively develop and implement new technology. In addition, advances in technology such as telephone, text and on-line banking, e-commerce; and self-service automatic teller machines and other equipment, as well as changing customer preferences to access our products and services through digital channels, could decrease the value of our branch network and other assets. As a result of these competitive pressures, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected.




Risks Related to Information Systems and Security


A failure in or breach of our security systems or infrastructure, including breaches resulting from cyber-attacks, could disrupt our businesses, result in the disclosure or misuse of confidential or proprietary information, damage our reputation, increase our costs and cause losses.


Information security risks for financial institutions have increased in recent years in part because of the proliferation of new technologies, the use of the Internet and telecommunications technologies to conduct financial transactions, and the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists, activists, and other external parties. Those parties also may attempt to fraudulently induce employees, customers, or other users of our systems to disclose confidential information in order to gain access to our data or that of our customers. Our operations rely on the secure processing, transmission and storage of confidential information in our computer systems and networks, either managed directly by us or through our data processing vendors. In addition, to access our products and services, our customers may use personal computers, smartphones, tablet PCs, and other mobile devices that are beyond our control systems. Although we believe we have robust information security procedures and controls, we rely heavily on our third party vendors, technologies, systems, networks and our customers' devices all of which may become the target of cyber-attacks, computer viruses, malicious code, unauthorized access, hackers or information security breaches that could result in the unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring, misuse, loss, theft or destruction of our confidential, proprietary and other information or that of our customers, or disrupt our operations or those of our customers or third parties. This risk is heightened during the pendency of stay-home orders in our primary markets related to the COVID-19 pandemic as the vast majority of our work force is working remotely, potentially making our systems and employees more vulnerable to attack.


To date we are not aware of any material losses that we have incurred relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, but there can be no assurance that we will not suffer such attacks, breaches and losses in the future. Our risk and exposure to these matters remains heightened because of, among other things, the evolving nature of these threats, our plans to continue to evolve our Internet banking and mobile banking channel, our expanding operations and the outsourcing of a significant portion of our business operations. As a result, the continued development and enhancement of our information security controls, processes

and practices designed to protect customer information, our systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access remain a priority for our management. As cyber threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to insure, modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate important information security vulnerabilities or exposures; however, our measures may be insufficient to prevent all physical and electronic break-ins, denial of service and other cyber-attacks or security breaches.


Disruptions or failures in the physical infrastructure or operating systems that support our businesses and customers, or cyber-attacks or security breaches of the networks, systems or devices that our customers use to access our products and services could result in customer attrition, uninsured financial losses, the inability of our customers to transact business with us, employee productivity losses, technology replacement costs, incident response costs, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties or intervention, additional regulatory scrutiny, reputational damage, litigation, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs, any of which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.

We rely on third party vendors and other service providers for certain critical business activities, which creates additional operational and information security risks for us.


Third parties with which we do business or that facilitate our business activities, including exchanges, clearing houses, financial intermediaries, agents or vendors that provide services or security solutions for our operations, could also be sources of operational and information security risk to us, including from interruptions or failures of their own systems, cybersecurity or ransomware attacks, capacity constraints or failures of their own internal controls. Specifically, we receive core systems processing, essential web hosting and other Internet systems and deposit and other processing services from third-party service providers. In late February 2018, one of our vendors provided notice to us that their independent auditors had determined their internal controls to be inadequate. While we do not believe this particular failure of internal controls would have an impact on us due to the strength of our own internal controls, future failures of internal controls of a vendor could have a significant impact on our operations if we do not have controls to cover those issues. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2019, we were advised by a third party providing services with access to certain of our systems that they had been subjected to a cybersecurity incident. We took measures to limit our vulnerability to such an attack and reviewed our own systems to determine that there was no apparent impact to our systems. However, the interruption caused by the breach in this third party's systems has limited their ability to provide us with contracted services which had the potential to increase our costs of doing business. To date, none of our third party vendors or service providers has notified us of any security breach in their systems that has resulted in an increased vulnerability to us or breached the integrity of our confidential customer data. SuchHowever, such third parties may also be targets of cyber-attacks, computer viruses, malicious code, unauthorized access, hackers, ransomware attacks or information security breaches that could compromise the confidential or proprietary information of HomeStreet and our customers.


In addition, if any third-party service providers experience difficulties or terminate their services and we are unable to replace them with other service providers, our operations could be interrupted and our operating expenses may materially increase. If an interruption were to continue for a significant period of time, our business financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.


Some of our primary third party service providers are subject to examination by banking regulators and may be subject to enhanced regulatory scrutiny due to regulatory findings during examinations of such service providers conducted by federal regulators. While we subject such vendors to higher scrutiny and monitor any corrective measures that the vendors are taking or would undertake, we cannot fully anticipate and mitigate all risks that could result from a breach or other operational failure of a vendor's system.


Others provide technology that we use in our own regulatory compliance, including our mortgage loan origination technology. If those providers fail to update their systems or services in a timely manner to reflect new or changing regulations, or if our personnel operate these systems in a non-compliant manner, our ability to meet regulatory requirements may be impacted and may expose us to heightened regulatory scrutiny and the potential for monetary penalties.


In addition, in order to safeguard our online financial transactions, we must provide secure transmission of confidential information over public networks. Our Internet banking system relies on third party encryption and authentication technologies necessary to provide secure transmission of confidential information. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptology or other developments could result in a compromise or breach of the algorithms our third-party service providers use to protect customer data. If any such compromise of security were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


The failure to protect our customers' confidential information and privacy could adversely affect our business.


We are subject to federal and state privacy regulations and confidentiality obligations that, among other things restrict the use and dissemination of, and access to, certain information that we produce, store or maintain in the course of our business. We also have contractual obligations to protect certain confidential information we obtain from our existing vendors and customers.

These obligations generally include protecting such confidential information in the same manner and to the same extent as we protect our own confidential information, and in some instances may impose indemnity obligations on us relating to unlawful or unauthorized disclosure of any such information.


Recently passed legislation in the European Union (the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR) and in California (the California Privacy Act) may increase the burden and cost of compliance specifically in the realm of consumer data privacy. We are still evaluating the potential impact of these new regulations on our business and do not yet know exactly what the impact may be but anticipate that there will be at least some added cost and burden as a result of these measures. In addition, other

federal, state or local governments may try to implement similar legislation, which could result in different privacy standards for different geographical regions, which could require significantly more resources for compliance.


During the COVID-19 pandemic, a substantial number of our employees are working from home, which could make compliance with privacy regulations and contractual obligations more challenging as confidential information is being accessed in a wider range of locations, and may be visible to individuals other than our employees. While we have implemented safeguards and restrictions to curtail exposure of confidential information outside of our systems, there is an increased potential for inadvertent disclosure during this time.

If we do not properly comply with privacy regulations and contractual obligations that require us to protect confidential information, or if we experience a security breach or network compromise, we could experience adverse consequences, including regulatory sanctions, penalties or fines, increased compliance costs, remedial costs such as providing credit monitoring or other services to affected customers, litigation and damage to our reputation, which in turn could result in decreased revenues and loss of customers, all of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


The network and computer systems on which we depend could fail for reasons not related to security breaches.


Our computer systems could be vulnerable to unforeseen problems other than a cyber-attack or other security breach. Because we conduct a part of our business over the Internet and outsource several critical functions to third parties, operations will depend on our ability, as well as the ability of third-party service providers, to protect computer systems and network infrastructure against damage from fire, power loss, telecommunications failure, physical break-ins or similar catastrophic events. Any damage or failure that causes interruptions in operations may compromise our ability to perform critical functions in a timely manner (or may give rise to perceptions of such compromise) and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations as well as our reputation and customer or vendor relationships.


We continually encounter technological change, and we may have fewer resources than many of our competitors to invest in technological improvements.


The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological changes with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. The effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to better serve customers and to reduce costs. Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to address the needs of our clients by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy client demands for convenience, as well as to create additional efficiencies in our operations. Many national vendors provide turn-key services to community banks, such as Internet banking and remote deposit capture that allow smaller banks to compete with institutions that have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. We may not be able, however, to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to our customers.



Anti-Takeover Risk


Some provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws and certain provisions of Washington law may deter takeover attempts, which may limit the opportunity of our shareholders to sell their shares at a favorable price.


Some provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of deterring or delaying attempts by our shareholders to remove or replace management, to commence proxy contests, or to effect changes in control. These provisions include:
A phased-out classified Board of Directors so that until 2022, only approximately one thirda portion of our board of directors iswill be elected each year;
Elimination of cumulative voting in the election of directors;
Procedures for advance notification of shareholder nominations and proposals;
The ability of our Board of Directors to amend our bylaws without shareholder approval; and
The ability of our Board of Directors to issue shares of preferred stock without shareholder approval upon the terms and conditions and with the rights, privileges and preferences as the boardBoard of directorsDirectors may determine.


In addition, as a Washington corporation, we are subject to Washington law which imposes restrictions on business combinations and similar transactions between a corporation and certain significant shareholders. These provisions, alone or together, could have the effect of deterring or delaying changes in incumbent management, proxy contests or changes in

control. These restrictions may limit a shareholder's ability to benefit from a change-in-control transaction that might otherwise result in a premium unless such a transaction is favored by our Board of Directors.
