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 onin the West Coast of theWestern United States, including Hawaii.States. 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 and 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 with 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 (Note 12, 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). We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications are immaterial and have no effect on net income, comprehensive income, cash flows, total assets or total shareholders' equity as previously reported.

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's decision to sell or abandon the assets and personnel associated with the Company's HLC-based mortgage business and the related mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") sales met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations and its operating results and financial condition are presented as discontinued operations in theour consolidated financial statements for the current and all comparativeprior periods which have been recast to conform with our current presentation.

Immaterial Restatement: Subsequent to issuance of the new presentation (see Note 2, Discontinued Operations for additional information). Unless otherwise indicated, information includedJune 30, 2020 financial statements, management concluded that purchases of and proceeds from the sale of Federal Home Loan Bank stock were incorrectly classified as financing activities, rather than investing activities, in these notes to the consolidated financial statements (unaudited)of cash flows. To correct this classification error, amounts previously reported for the purchases of and proceeds from the sale of Federal Home Loan Bank stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as financing activities are presented on a consolidated operations basis, which includes results from both continuing and discontinued operations, for all periods presented.

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) packagereported 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 resultedinvesting activities in the eliminationconsolidated statement of segment reporting. The Company will no longer disclose operating results below the consolidated entity level which is now the reportable segment.cash flows.

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, national, regional and local economies. There have been no comparable recent events that provide guidance to the effects of the spread of COVID-19 as a global pandemic may have, and, as a result, the near-term, short-term and ultimate impacts 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,At the Board authorizedbeginning of 2020, the Company had in place a share repurchase program pursuant tounder which the Company could purchase up to $75$8.1 million of its issuedcommon stock. During the first quarter of 2020 and outstanding common stock, no par value, at prevailing market rates at the time of such purchase.

On June 20, 2019, the Company agreed to repurchase approximately 1.7 million shares from Blue Lion Capital and affiliates at a share price of $31.16, which represented the five-day volume weighted average price prior to the date of the 2019 annual meeting on June 20, 2019. This agreement required the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco to review and provide its non-objection prior to consummation. On July 11, 2019, we received the non-objection to the purchase agreement from the Federal Reserve and executed this share repurchase. We subsequently terminated the March 28, 2019 share repurchase program on
July 25, 2019.

There were repurchases of 2,656,001 shares of our common stockagain in the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

On September 26, 2019,third quarter of 2020, the Board authorized a new share2 additional programs, each for the repurchase program pursuant to whichof an additional $25 million of the Company’s common stock. During the first nine months of 2020, the Company could purchase up to $25.0 millionrepurchased 1,995,845 shares of its issued and outstanding common stock 0 par value, at prevailing market rates at the timean average price of such purchase.$26.03 per share.

Recent Accounting Developments

In MayDecember 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting Standards Update ("ASU"for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”) No. 2019-05,. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2019-12 to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Targeted Transition Relief, or ASU 2019-05. This ASU allows entities to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the fair value option on financial instruments that (1) were previously recorded at amortized cost and (2) are within the scope of ASC 326-20 if the instruments are eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825-10. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. Entities are required to make this election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. ASU 2019-05 has the same effective date as ASU 2016-13 therefore, it will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
The Company does not expect to elect the fair value option under this guidance, and therefore, ASU 2019-05 is not expected to impact the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued 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 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 August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 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. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for interim 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 will not impact the Company's consolidated financial statements.

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. 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 of 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 after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, 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 recognizing credit losses that delay recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. The main objective of this ASU isreferred to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information aboutas the

current expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date.("CECL") methodology. 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 frommeasurement of 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 informationunder the CECL methodology is applicable to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments in this ASU require a financial asset (or group of financial assets)assets measured at amortized cost, including 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 credit losses for AFS debt securities.
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 presented atreported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company recorded a decrease of $3.7 million to the net amount expectedbeginning 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 be collected. January 1, 2020. As a result, the amortized cost basis remains the same before and after the effective date of this guidance.
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.

Allowance for Credit Losses for LHFI
The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") for LHFI 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 financial asset. Ourloans. Loan balances 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 ACL for LHFI, as reported in our consolidated balance sheets, is adjusted by a provision for credit losses includes bothand reduced by the allowancecharge-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 loan losses and a separate allowance for losses related to unfunded loan commitments. The measurementthe 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.
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 amendmentsACL 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 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 informationmaterial changes in the estimateACL 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 loss, which will be more decision relevant to userslosses 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 financial statements. ACL, for loans that share similar risk characteristics with other loans, loans are segregated into loan pools based on similar risk characteristics, like product types or areas of risk concentration.
The amendmentsCompany'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 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 economic recession that began in this ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.2007. The Company plans to adopt this ASUmonitor and review the LHP on January 1, 2020.an annual basis to determine appropriate time frames to be included based on economic indicators.
Under CECL, the Company groups pools of loans 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") at the sub-pool level and Loss Given Default ("LGD") for the pool level. These historical cohorts and their PD/LGD outcomes are then averaged together to establish expected PDs and LGDs for each sub-pool.

11


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 LHP 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
The remaining time to maturity and the timing and extent of prepayments on the financial assets
Volume & NatureThe nature and volume of the entity's financial assets
Collateral ValuesThe value of underlying collateral on financial assets in which the collateral-dependent practical expedient has not been utilized
EconomicThe environmental factors of a borrower and the areas in which the entity's credit is concentrated, such as: Changes and expected changes in national, regional and local economic and business conditions and developments in which the entity operates, including the condition and expected condition of various market segments
Credit CultureThe entity's lending policies and procedures, including changes in lending strategies, underwriting standards, collection, write-off and recovery practices, as well as knowledge of the borrower's operations or the borrower's standing in the community
The quality of the entity's credit review system
The experience, ability and depth of the entity's management, lending staff, and other relevant staff
Business EnvironmentThe environmental factors of a borrower and the areas in which the entity's credit is concentrated, such as: Regulatory, legal, or technological environment to which the entity has exposure
The environmental factors of a borrower and the areas in which the entity's credit is concentrated, such as: Changes and expected changes in the general market condition of either the geographical area or the industry to which the entity has exposure

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 economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting accounting treatment of forbearances is an example of such a condition.
The Company has substantially completedchosen two years as the developmentforecast 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.
12


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. Management Overlays are not bounded by the historical maximums.
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.
Additional details describing the model by portfolio segment are below:
Consumer Loan Portfolio
The consumer loan portfolio segment is comprised of the single family and home equity loan classes, which are underwritten after evaluating a borrower's capacity, credit and collateral. Other consumer loans are grouped with home equity loans. Capacity refers to a 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 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, demand for housing and levels of unemployment.
Consumer Loan Portfolio Segment Estimated Loss Rate Model
Under CECL, the Bank utilizes pools of loans that are grouped by 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.

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. These factors 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 and 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 and land development, which includes lot, land and acquisition and development loans, into the following ACL reporting pools to more accurately group risk characteristics:
13


Multifamily, Commercial Real Estate, Single Family and Single Family construction to permanent. 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. For purposes of CECL, loans are sub-pooled according to the following AQR Ratings:

1-6: These loans meet the definition of “Pass" assets. They are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor (or guarantors, if any) or by the fair value, less costs to acquire and sell in a timely manner, of any underlying collateral. The Bank further uses the available AQR ratings for components of the sub-pools.
7: These loans meet the regulatory definition of “Special Mention.” They contain potential weaknesses, that if uncorrected may result in deterioration of the likelihood of repayment or in the Bank’s credit position.
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.

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. 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 modelsis 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 allthe estimated costs to sell if repayment or satisfaction of a loan portfoliosis 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 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 ACL. 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 testing these models and validating data inputs, while continuing to develop the policies, systems and controls that will be required to implement CECL. Based on forecasted economic conditions and portfolio composition at September 30, 2019, the adoption of the CECL standard is estimated to result in an overall allowancecollection.
Allowance for credit losses increase of 0% to 10%, as compared to our current aggregate reserve levels. Credit Losses for Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures
The estimated increase is driven by the fact that the allowance will coverBank estimates expected credit losses over the full expectedcontractual 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 OBS credit exposures that are not unconditionally cancellable. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments is based on an estimate of unfunded commitment utilization over the life of the loan, portfolios and will also consider forecastsapplying the EL to the estimated utilization balance as of the reporting period. As these estimated credit loss calculations are similar to the funded LHFI they share similar risks plus the additional risk from estimating commitment utilization.
14


Allowance for Credit Losses for Other Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates AFS securities in an unrealized loss position, using a qualitative approach, at the end of each quarter to determine whether the decline in value is temporary or permanent. An unrealized loss exists when the fair value of an individual security is less than its amortized cost basis. When qualitative factors indicate that a credit loss may exist, the Company compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security. The Company recognizes an ACL measured as the difference between the present value of expected future economic conditions. The extentcash flows and the amortized cost basis of the impact ofsecurity, limited by the adoption of CECL onamount that the Company’s consolidated financial statements may vary and will depend on, completion of the Company’s models, policies and management judgment's, and the composition of the loan portfolios on the date of adoption. At adoption, we will have a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings for our change in the allowance for credit 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.security’s fair value is less than its amortized cost basis. The Company has begun developing and implementing processes to address the provisions of this ASU. Based on the credit quality of our existing debt securities portfolio, the Company does not expectbelieve any of these securities that were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2020 represent a credit loss impairment.

The Company carries a limited amount of HTM debt securities. Utilizing the allowanceCECL approach, the Company determined that the expected credit loss on this portfolio was immaterial, and therefore, an ACL for credit losses for HTM and AFS debtinvestment securities to be material.was not recorded as of September 30, 2020.


NOTE 2–DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

On March 29, 2019, the Company successfully closed and settled 2 sales of the rights to service $14.26$14.3 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 salesales resulted in a $333 thousand pre-tax income and $941 thousand pre-tax loss from discontinued operations duringfor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.2019, respectively. The Company transferredfinalized the servicing transfer for some of these loans in the second quarter of 2019 and transferred the remainder in the third quarter of 2019 and subserviced these loans through the transfer dates.

These loans are excluded from the Company's mortgage servicing rights portfolio at September 30, 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 that were sold or abandoned largely represented 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 constituted commitment to a plan of exit or disposal of certain long-lived assets (through sale or abandonment) and termination of employees. Further, the Company determined that the shift from a large-scale HLC based originator and servicer to a branch-focused product offering represented a strategic shift. As a result, the HLC-related mortgage banking operations are reported separately from the continuing operations as discontinued operations. In addition, the former Mortgage Banking operating segment and reporting unit were eliminated. This has resulted in a recast of the financial statements in the current and all comparative periods as detailed below.2019.


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

On June 24, 2019 the Company completed the sale with Homebridge. This sale included assets related to 47 stand-alone HLCs, sublease or lease assignments of the related offices and the transfer of certain related mortgage personnel. These HLCs, along with certain other mortgage banking related assets and liabilities that were to be sold or abandoned within one year, are classified as discontinued operations in 2019 in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and Consolidated Statements of Operations.consolidated financial statements. HLCs that were not soldsubleased or assigned were closed during the second quarter of 2019 and none remain as of September 30, 2019.remain. Certain components of the Company's former Mortgage Banking segment, including MSRsmortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") on certain mortgage loans that were not part of the sales and right-of-use assets and lease liabilities where we did not obtain full landlord release have beenwere classified as continuing operations based on the Company's intent.

At the end of the 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 the 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.

The Company has evaluated investment securities available for saleAFS 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-issuer-specific or industry-specific credit event. The Company has not identified any expected credit losses on its debt securities as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. In addition, as of September 30, 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 saleAFS and held to maturityHTM 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
18


coupon of each security weighted based on the fair value of each security and does not include adjustments to a tax equivalent basis.

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 homogeneousrisk rating of 9 is not used.
Per the Company's policies, most commercial loans pools are non-homogenous and non-homogeneous loans.


are regularly assessed for credit quality. The 10 risk rating categories can be generally described by the following groupings for non-homogeneous loans:
23


Pass. We have five pass risk ratings which represent a level1-6: These loans meet the definition of credit quality that ranges from no well-defined deficiency or weakness to some noted weakness. However,“Pass" assets. They are well protected by 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 borrowercurrent net worth and paying capacity of the highest quality. The borrower has an unquestioned abilityobligor (or guarantors, if any) or by the fair value, less costs to produce consistent profitsacquire 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 with sound sources of repayment and no material collection or repayment weakness evident. The borrower has an 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 with 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 possess weaknesses that can be adequately mitigated through collateral, structural or credit enhancement. The borrower is susceptible to economic cycles and is 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 of acceptable risk due to an emerging risk element or declining performance trend. Watch ratings 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 problemssell in a short periodtimely manner, of time. Borrowers rated watch are characterized by elementsany underlying collateral.
7: These loans meet the regulatory definition of uncertainty, such as:
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, and the negative trends should be identified as being 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” They contain potential weaknesses, that deserve management's close attention. If leftif uncorrected these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the likelihood of repayment prospects foror in the Bank’s credit position.
8: These loans ormeet the institution's credit position at some future date. Loans in this category contain unfavorable characteristics and are generally undesirable.regulatory definition of “Substandard”. They are currently protected but are potentially weak and constitute an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point 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 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.
10: 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 areportion of a magnitudeloan determined to jeopardize current and future payments with no immediate relief. A loss is not presently expected; however,meet the outlook is sufficiently uncertain to preclude ruling out the possibility.
regulatory definition of “Loss.” 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.

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. Loansamounts 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.have been charged-off.

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. 1-6: These loans meet the definition of “Pass" assets. A homogeneous watchhomogenous “Pass” loan is typically risk rated 6, is 60-89 days past due frombased on payment performance.
7: These loans meet the required payment date at month-end.

Specialregulatory 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. 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. 10: These loans meet the regulatory definition of “Loss”. A closed-end homogeneous loss loan not secured by real estate is risk rated 10 iswhen past due 120 cumulative days or more past due from the required payment date for non-real estate secured closed-end loans or 180 days or more pastcontractual due from the required payment date for open-end loans and alldate. Closed-end homogenous loans secured by real estate. Theseestate and all open-end homogenous loans are generally charged 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. A homogeneous retail watch loan, risk rated 6, is 60-89 days past due from the required payment date at month-end.

Substandard. A homogeneous retail substandard loan, risk rated 8, is 90-180 days past due from the required payment date at month-end.

Loss. A homogeneous retail loss loan, risk rated 10 iswhen past due 180 cumulative days or more from the contractual due date. These loans, or the portion of these loans classified as loss, are generally charged-off in the month in which the 180 dayapplicable past due period elapses.

Small balance commercial loans are generally considered homogenous unless 30 days or more past due or modified in a troubled debt restructuring that was an interest rate concession or payment modification with a significant balloon and the concession period has not been completed. The risk rating classification for such loans are based on the non-homogenous definitions noted above.

Residential, and home equity and consumer 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 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 following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral-dependent loans by loan sub-class and collateral type. All collateral dependent loans are reviewed quarterly and loan class.

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 following table presents nonaccrual status for loans in compliance with ASC 326-20-50-16.

The following table presents loans that were modified as TDRs within the previous 12 months and subsequently re-defaulted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 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.

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 related to the COVID pandemic;
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 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 not be treated as TDRs for accounting or disclosure purposes if they qualify. 

As of September 30, 2020, excluding any SBA guaranteed loans for which the government is making payments as provided for under the CARES Act, or single family loans that are guaranteed by FHA or VA, the Company has outstanding balances of $206 million on 375 loans that were approved for forbearance under this program.

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.

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 saleLHFS 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.balance sheets. The notional amount is generally not exchanged and is used as the basis for interest and other contractual payments.

We held 0 derivatives designated as a fair value, cash flow or foreign currency hedge instrument at September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018. 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,balance sheets, with changes in fair value reflectedrecognized 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 assetsassets. Payables related to cash collateral that has been received from counterparties is included in accounts payable and other liabilities. Interest is owed on the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition.amounts received from counterparties and we earn interest on cash paid to counterparties. Any securities pledged to counterparties as collateral remain on the consolidated statementsbalance sheets. The Company had liabilities of financial condition. Refer to Note 3,

Investment Securities, for further information on securities collateral pledged. At September 30, 2019
$6.9 million and December 31, 2018, the Company did not hold any$15.2 million in cash collateral received from counterparties under derivative transactions.and receivables of $16.7 million and $2.9 million in cash collateral paid to counterparties at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

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 theThe 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, the instruments are marked to market in earnings. The notional amount of open interest rate swap agreements at September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 were $77.8$217 million and $2.6$144 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, there were $115 thousand and $149 thousand, respectively, mark-to-market loss recorded to “Other” noninterest income in our consolidated statements of operations. The Company had 0 similar activity in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

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 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 $3.0$3.1 million and $2.5$2.5 million were recorded in other assets as of September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.


When theThe Company has thea unilateral right to repurchase certain delinquent or defaulted Ginnie Mae early buyout option ("GNMA EBO") pool loans it has previously sold, (generally loans that are more than 90 days past due), the Company records the loan on its consolidated statementand, as required under GAAP, recognized a liability and an asset totaling $115 million and $9 million as of financial condition. At September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018, delinquent or defaulted mortgage loans currently in Ginnie Mae pools that the Company has recognized on its consolidated statements of financial condition totaled 2019, respectively.
$11.2 million and $37.7 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.

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$14.3 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.Mac. These sales resulted in a $333 thousand pre-tax income and $941 thousand pre-tax loss from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

2019. The Company completed the servicing transfer for a portion of these loans in the second quarter and then finalized the transfer of the remainder in the third quarter of 2019.

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.

GUARANTEES:
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 held for investment portfolio. The aggregate amount of these unrecognized unfunded loan commitments existing at
September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $36.7 million and $33.8 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. Undistributed construction loan commitments, where the Company has an obligation to advance funds for construction progress payments, were $400.7 million and $607.2 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Unused home equity and commercial banking funding lines totaled $750.4 million and $662.1 million at September 30, 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 $1.2 million and $1.4 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

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 the 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 September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the total unpaid principal balance of loans sold under this program was $1.50$1.6 billion and $1.46$1.5 billion, respectively. The Company's reserve liability related to this arrangement totaled $2.6$2.2 million and $2.5$2.8 million at September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. There were 0 actual losses incurred under this arrangement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 Securities 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 residentialCompany's 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 another Ginnie Mae pool. The Company'srepurchase liability for mortgage loan repurchase losses 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 $7.09$6.3 billion and $20.24$7.1 billion as of September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. At September 30, 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 statementsbalance sheet, of financial condition, of $3.2$2.1 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 September 30, 2019, we reviewed our legal claims and determined that there were 0 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 September 30, 2019.

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, Fair Value Measurement within our 2018 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.AFS. 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,AFS, single family MSRs, single family loans held for investmentLHFI where fair value option was elected, certain single family loans held for sale,LHFS and interest rate locklocks 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 and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, 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,LHFS, 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
49


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 saleLHFS 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 isLHFS are 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 $5.3$7.6 million and $4.1$3.5 million at September 30, 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 investmentLHFI and other real estate ownedOREO 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 investmentLHFI 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 investmentLHFI that are not collateralized by real estate. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 20182019 and assets held at the end of the respective reporting period.

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,Also 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 nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, in scope revenue streams were approximately 2.3% and 2.3% 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'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, typically 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 the first quarter of 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 restructured certain aspects of its infrastructure and back office operations, which has resulted in certain indirect severance and other employee related costs and impairment charges related to certain facilities and information systems. Cost directly related to the plan of exit or disposal are not included in restructuring, but rather are characterized as gain or loss on disposal, for further information, see
Note 2. Discontinued Operations.

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 further restructuring 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 salariescompensation and related costsbenefits expense line items on our consolidated statement of operationsincome statements in the applicable periods for continuing operations and in the income (loss) from discontinued operations for the applicable periods for discontinued operations.periods.

The following tables summarize the restructuring charges recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 20182019 and the Company's net remaining liability balance at September 30, 2019 and 2018 for both continuing and discontinued operations.2020.

ITEM 2ITEM 2     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes presented elsewhere in this report and in HomeStreet, Inc.'s 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following discussion containsStatements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts or that discuss our expectations, beliefs or views regarding our future operations or future financial performance, or financial or other trends in our business or in the markets in which we operate, and our future plans, including the credit exposure of certain loan products and other components of our business that could be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, constitute forward-looking statements which are statementswithin the meaning of expectations and not statementsthe Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of historical fact. 1995.

Many forward-looking statements can be identified as using words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "should," "will" and "would" and similar expressions (or the negative of these terms). Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of the Company and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first and second quarters of 2020, and the risks and uncertainties discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in Item 1A of Part II, "Risk Factors," that could cause actual results to differ significantly from those projected. In addition, many of the risks and uncertainties are, and will be, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and any worsening of the global, national, regional and local business and economic environment as a result.

Although we believe that expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We undertake no obligation to, and expressly disclaim any such obligation to update, or clarify any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, new information or changes to future results over time ofor otherwise, except as required by law. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Except as otherwise noted, references to "we," "our," "us" or "the Company" refer to HomeStreet, Inc. and its subsidiaries that are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Statements of knowledge, intention or belief reflect those characteristics of our executive management team based on current facts and circumstances.

About Us

HomeStreet, Inc. and its primary subsidiaries, HomeStreet Bank (the “Bank”) and HomeStreet Capital Corporation ("HSC") together are a diversified financial services company serving customers primarily on the West Coast of the United States, including Hawaii. HomeStreet, Inc., founded in 1921, is a bank holding company that has elected to be treated as a financial holding company. In addition to the banking and lending operations of our wholly owned subsidiaries, HomeStreet also sells insurance products and services for consumer clients under the name HomeStreet Insurance.

HomeStreet Bank is a Washington state-chartered commercial bank providing commercial and consumer loans, mortgage loans, deposit products, non-deposit investment products, private banking and cash management services and other banking services. Our loan products include commercial business and agriculture loans, consumer loans, single family residential mortgages, loans secured by commercial real estate and construction loans for residential and commercial real estate projects. 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.

HSC, a Washington corporation, sells and services multifamily mortgage loans originated by HomeStreet Bank under the Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing Program ("DUS®")1.

HomeStreet Bank also has partial ownership in WMS Series LLC ("WMS"), an affiliated business arrangement with various owners of Windermere Real Estate Company franchises that operates a single family mortgage origination business from select Windermere Real Estate Offices and is known as Penrith Home Loans. As we announced in July 2019, we are in the process of selling our interest in WMS Series LLC and expect to complete that transaction during the fourth quarter. Assuming the successful completion of this transaction, our single family mortgage banking volume will again decline and after a post-sale transition period all correspondent origination volume we currently purchase from WMS will be eliminated.

We generate revenue by earning net interest income and noninterest income. Net interest income is primarily the interest income we earn on loans and investment securities, less the interest we pay on deposits and other borrowings. We also earn noninterest income from the origination, sale and servicing of loans and from fees earned on deposit products and investment and insurance sales.

In the last few years, we have been strategically focused on becoming a leading West Coast regional commercial bank, growing commercial banking to diversify our earnings and actively reducing our exposure to the single family lending mortgage business and its more cyclical and volatile earnings results. This includes the sale of our stand-alone home loan centers ("HLC") and related mortgage servicing rights in the first half of 2019 to focus more on commercial lending, commercial and consumer banking and single family mortgage lending through our retail branch, online and affinity networks.

In connection with these changes, we eliminated segment reporting in the first quarter of 2019 and have classified all remaining activity for these HLCs, along with certain other mortgage banking related assets and liabilities that are expected to be sold or abandoned within approximately one year, as discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and Consolidated Statements of Operations. Certain components of the Company's former Mortgage Banking segment, including MSRs on certain mortgage loans that were not sold as part of this restructuring, along with our remaining single family mortgage origination and servicing business, have been classified in continuing operations beginning on April 1, 2019 based on the Company's intent.

We continue to take steps to improve productivity and reduce total corporate expenses in light of the recent substantial reduction in the size and complexity of our operations and a lower growth plan going forward. Since the second quarter of 2019, we have been working with an outside consulting firm that specializes in bank efficiency on an enterprise-wide profitability improvement project intended to analyze and improve all of our corporate expenses and business line processes, including contracts terms, costs related to occupancy and technology, organization and staffing improvements, and other cost savings and efficiency proposals. The project efficiency plan includes:

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


1 DUS® is a registered trademark of Fannie Mae56
66



We began executing on this plan in the third quarter and expect these reductions and enhancements will continue through 2020 and beyond.

In addition to proactively reducing our exposure to single family mortgage lending by exiting the HLC-based mortgage banking business, in the third quarter of 2019 we also continued to grow our commercial and consumer banking business. Our retail branch network continued to perform well, with total deposits from continuing operations increasing 18.7% over December 31, 2018.

As of September 30, 2019, following the consolidation of our Lake Oswego, OR retail branch into our Lake Grove, OR retail branch, we had 36 retail branches in Washington, 19 retail branches in California, four retail branches in Hawaii and three branches in Oregon. We also had four primary stand-alone commercial lending centers and one stand-alone insurance office. While we continue to focus on the growth and strength of our commercial and consumer banking business, we have temporarily suspended future de novo deposit branch openings as we focus on our strategy of improving efficiency and overall profitability.


Management's Overview of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Financial Performance

Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 reflect the impact of the adoption of a plan of exit or disposal, announced in the first quarter of 2019, with respect to the stand-alone home loan center-based mortgage origination and related servicing businesses as discontinued operations. Discontinued operations reported in the first quarter of 2019 included our entire mortgage banking business as did all prior periods presented. Effective April 1, 2019, the newly organized bank location-based mortgage banking business commenced operations and the associated direct revenues and direct expenses are reported as part of the Company's continuing operations beginning in the second quarter of 2019 ("Retained MB Business").

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company had net income of $13.8 million and $6.5 million, respectively, which included both continuing and discontinued operations, compared to net income of $11.8 million and $24.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The increase in net income from the three months ended September 30, 2018 primarily related to a reduction in noninterest expense from reduced salaries and commissions on lower closed loan volume, lower headcount, reductions in non-personnel costs from cost savings initiatives and the exit of our stand-alone HLC-based mortgage business ("HLC Business Sale"), and $2.3 million of recoveries on restructuring costs and compensation related costs, net of tax. The increase is partially offset by a decline in mortgage servicing income related to the first quarter 2019 sales of single family mortgage servicing rights, a decline in single family net gain on mortgage loan sale and origination activities primarily from the HLC Business Sale and a reduction in net interest income.

The decrease in net income from the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to the $18.3 million loss on disposal and restructuring-related expenses, net of tax, taken in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the $5.6 million in restructuring related expenses, net of tax taken in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a decline in single-family mortgage servicing income related to the first quarter 2019 sales of single family mortgage servicing rights and a decline in single family net gain on mortgage loan sale and origination activities primarily from the HLC Business Sale. This decrease is partially offset by a reduction in noninterest expense from reduced salaries and commissions on lower closed loan volume, lower headcount, reductions in non-personnel costs from cost savings initiatives and the HLC Business Sale and $2.3 million of recoveries on restructuring costs and compensation related costs, net of tax.

Net income from continuing operations in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to $2.7 million and $5.9 million in after-tax net income, respectively, from the Retained MB Business. Excluding this impact, the improvement relates to an increase in gain on loan origination and sale activities related to higher commercial loan sales volume and improved margin on commercial loans and an increase in servicing income.

As part of our ongoing balance sheet and capital management, in the first quarter of 2019, HomeStreet Bank executed definitive agreements with two 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, accelerate the diversification of the Company's earnings and fund the Company's prior stock repurchase program, which was executed in the second and third quarters.

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 Credit Lossescredit losses ("ACL") for loans held for investment ("LHFI")
Fair Valuevalue of Financial Instrumentsfinancial instruments and Single Family Mortgage Servicing Rightssingle 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.

(3)Includes taxable-equivalent adjustments primarily related to tax-exempt income on certain loans and securities of $1.8 million and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The estimated federal statutory tax rate was 21% for the periods presented.

Interest on Nonaccrual Loans

We do not include interest collected on nonaccrual loans in interest income. When we placeefficiency ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. For 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 adjustmentreconciliation 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 periods if the loans had been accruing, were $510 thousand and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $319 thousand and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Net Income

Net income, which included both continuing and discontinued operations, increasednearest comparable GAAP financial measure, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” elsewhere in the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018 primarily related to a reduction in noninterest expense from reduced salaries and commissions on lower closed loan volume, lower headcount, reductions in non-personnel costs from cost savings initiatives and the exit of our stand-alone home loan center-based mortgage business and $2.3 million of recoveries on restructuring costs and compensation related costs, net of tax. The increase is partially offset by a decline in mortgage servicing income related to the first quarter 2019 sales of single family mortgage servicing rights, a decline in single family net gain on mortgage loan sale and origination activities primarily from our HLC Business Sale and a reduction in net interest income.

Net income decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to $18.3 million of loss on disposal and restructuring-related expenses, net of tax, taken in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $5.6 million in restructuring charges, net of tax, taken in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a decline in mortgage servicing income related to the first quarter 2019 sales of single family mortgage servicing rights and a decline in single family net gain on mortgage loan sale and origination activities primarily from our HLC Business Sale. This decrease is partially offset by a reduction in noninterest expense from reduced salaries and commissions on lower closed loan volume, lower headcount, reductions in non-personnel costs from cost savings initiatives and our HLC Business Sale and $2.3 million of recoveries on restructuring costs and compensation related costs, net of tax.

Net Income from Continuing Operations

Net income from continuing operations increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to $2.7 million and $5.9 million after-tax, respectively, that was contributed by the Retained MB Business. Excluding this impact, the improvement relates to an increase in gain on loan origination and sale activities related to higher commercial loan sales volume and improved margin on commercial loans and an increase in servicing income.

Net Income from Discontinued Operations

Net income from discontinued operations was $162 thousand and a net loss of $21.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to net income of $3.7 million and $10.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The decrease in net income from discontinued operations in the three months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to the impact of the Retained MB Business, a reduction in single family mortgage loan origination and sale activities and related noninterest expense as we wind down the operations of our stand-alone home loan center-based mortgage business and lower servicing income due to the first quarter sales of mortgage servicing rights. Included in noninterest expense was $2.3 million of recoveries on prior period restructuring costs and compensation related cost, net of tax.

The decrease in net income from discontinued operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to an increase in restructuring and loss on disposal charges, the impact of the Retained MB Business, a reduction in single family mortgage net gain on loan origination and sale activities and related noninterest expense as we wind down the operations of our stand-alone home loan center-based mortgage business, and lower servicing income due to the first quarter sales of mortgage servicing rights This decrease was partially offset by reduced commissions on lower closed loan volume, savings associated with lower headcount and other savings related to our prior cost reduction initiatives.

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 third quarter of 2019 was $48.4 million, a decrease of $3.9 million, or 7.5%, from the third quarter of 2018. Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $151.3 million, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 1.3%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decreases from 2018 were primarily due to an increase in higher rate certificate of deposit balances and a decrease in interest income from lower loans held for sale as we closed out the pipeline of loans associated with our HLC Business Sale. This decrease was partially offset by a

decrease in interest expense on FHLB advances due to a reduction in these advances and an increase in loans held for investment primarily due to organic growth.

The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis for the third quarter of 2019 decreased to 2.96% from 3.20% for the same period in 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 net interest margin decreased to 3.06% from 3.22% for the same period in 2018. The decreases from 2018 were primarily due to a higher balance of high cost certificate of deposit accounts, partially offset by higher balances and yields on loans held for investment and a decrease in volume of FHLB advances.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, total average interest-earning assets decreased $19.2 million, or 0.3% from the three months ended September 30, 2018, and increased $226.3 million or 3.6% from the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease for the three months is due to lower mortgage volume. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is primarily the result of organic loan growth.

Total interest income of $71.6 million on a tax equivalent basis in the third quarter of 2019 increased $1.2 million, or 1.7%, from $70.4 million in the third quarter of 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 total interest income on a tax equivalent basis was $219.9 million, an increase of $19.3 million, or 9.6% from the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily the result of higher average balances of loans held for investment, which increased $332.5 million, or 6.7% and $507.6 million or 10.6% from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Total interest expense in the third quarter of 2019 increased $5.1 million, or 28.3% from $18.0 million in the third quarter of 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 total interest expense increased $21.3 million, or 44.8% from $47.4 million in the same period in 2018. The increases resulted from higher rates on interest-bearing deposits, FHLB advances and wholesale deposits including brokered CDs as market interest rates rise.


Provision for Credit Losses

Our provision for credit losses was zero and $1.5 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to a provision for credit losses of $750 thousand and $2.5 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The decrease in the provision for credit losses from the third quarter of 2018 was primarily due to a reduction in loan balances and net recoveries, and the decrease in provision from the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to lower portfolio loan growth and continued net recoveries.

Net recoveries were $6 thousand in the third quarter of 2019 compared to net recoveries of $122 thousand in the same period in 2018. Net recoveries were $221 thousand in the first nine months of 2019 compared to net recoveries of $238 thousand in the first nine months of 2018. Overall, the allowance for loan losses (which excludes the allowance for unfunded commitments) was 0.84% and 0.80% of loans held for investment at September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. Excluding loans acquired through business combinations, the allowance for loan losses was 0.89% of loans held for investment at September 30, 2019 compared to 0.84% at September 30, 2018.

Overview and Current Developments
COVID-19 Pandemic
The outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely impacted a broad range of industries across the region where the Company’s customers operate and could impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic and as a result almost all public commerce and related business activities have been and continue to be, to varying degrees, curtailed with the goal of decreasing the rate of new infections. The spread of the outbreak has caused significant disruptions in the U.S. economy and has disrupted business and other financial activity in the areas in which the Company operates.
Congress, the President and the Federal Reserve have taken several actions designed to cushion the economic fallout related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Most notably, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law at the end of March 2020 as a $2 trillion legislative package, which was further expanded in April 2020 by $484 billion. The goal of the CARES Act is to prevent a severe economic downturn through various measures, including direct financial aid to American families and economic stimulus to significantly impacted industry sectors. The package also includes extensive emergency funding for hospitals and health care providers.

We evaluated goodwill for impairment at June 30, 2020 and based on Form 10-Q.our impairment assessment determined our goodwill assets were not impaired.
The Company has implemented a business continuity plan that includes a remote working strategy and a social distancing and sanitation plan. No material operational failures or internal control challenges have been identified to date. The Company has taken significant measures to protect its employees, such as having most work remotely and where remote work is not viable, implementing a social distancing and sanitation plan. At September 30, 2020, all of our retail deposit branches were open to serve our customers by appointment only and operating under the guidelines issued by Federal, state, and regional health departments.
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 September 30, 2020, the Company had an outstanding balance of $206 million for 375 qualifying loans approved for forbearance (excluding any SBA guaranteed loans for which the government made payments as provided for under the CARES Act, or single family loans that are guaranteed by FHA or VA). 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. PPP loans generally have a two-year term and bear interest at 1%. Additionally, the Company was paid fees by the SBA based upon the sliding fee scale established for the PPP program. The weighted average fee for these loans was 3.3% and the Company will recognize these fees over the contractual life of the related loan, which will be accelerated if the loan is paid off prior to its maturity. 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 September 30, 2020, the Company has closed or approved with the SBA, 1,822 PPP loans representing $298 million in outstanding balances. The loans funded through the PPP program are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government.

Management's Overview of the Third Quarter of 2020 Financial Performance

Discontinued Operations: Results for the first quarter of 2019 reflect the impact of the adoption of a plan of exit or disposal, announced in the first quarter of 2019, with respect to the stand-alone home loan center-based mortgage origination and related servicing businesses classified as discontinued operations. Discontinued operations reported in the first quarter of 2019 included our entire mortgage banking business as did all prior periods presented. Effective April 1, 2019, the reorganized bank location-based mortgage banking business commenced operations and the associated direct revenues and direct expenses are reported as part of the Company's continuing operations beginning in the second quarter of 2019 and thereafter. Discontinued operations accounting was concluded as of January 1, 2020.


Results of Operations

Third Quarter of 2020 Compared to the Third Quarter of 2019

General: Our income from continuing operations and income from continuing operations before income taxes were $26.3 million and $33.8 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2020, as compared to $13.7 million and $16.0 million, respectively, during the third quarter of 2019. The $17.8 million increase in income from continuing operations before income taxes was due to higher net interest income and higher noninterest income which were partially offset by higher noninterest expense.

Income Taxes: Our effective tax rate during the third quarter of 2020 was 22.0% as compared to 14.6% in the third quarter of 2019 for continuing operations and a statutory rate of 23.7%. Our effective tax rate was lower than our statutory rate due primarily to the benefits of tax advantaged investments. In the third quarter of 2019, the benefits of tax advantaged investments were a higher proportion of total earnings, resulting in a lower effective tax rate.

Net Interest Income: The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields on those assets; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense and the average rate of interest on our interest-bearing liabilities; (iii) net interest income; (iv) net interest rate spread; and (v) net yield on interest-earning assets:

Net interest income was higher in the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the third quarter of 2019 because our net interest margin increased to 3.20% primarily due to a 47 basis point increase in our net interest rate spread. Our costs of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 1.81% in the third quarter of 2019 to 0.62% in the third quarter of 2020 due to a decrease in market interest rates which allowed us to reprice our deposits and borrowings at lower rates. The benefit of these lower funding costs was partially offset by lower yields on interest earning assets. The 72 basis point decrease in yield on interest earning assets was due to the origination of loans and purchases of securities with rates below our current portfolio rates, the ongoing repricing of variable rate loans and the prepayment and paydown of higher yielding loans and investments from our portfolios.

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.

The increase in noninterest income for the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the third quarter of 2019, was due to a $17.2 million increase in gain on loan sales related to higher volumes of rate locks and an increase in profit margins in our single family operations. The increase in noninterest income was partially offset by a decrease in loan servicing income from unfavorable risk management results on mortgage servicing rights in the third quarter of 2020 resulting from a market expectation of an extended period of higher prepayments.

Total noninterest expense$58,057 $55,721 

The $2.3 million increase in noninterest expense in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019 was primarily due to $2.4 million in impairments in the third quarter of 2020 related to ongoing restructuring of our facilities and staffing and increases in compensation and benefits costs related to increased commissions on higher closed loan volume. The increase was partially offset by decreases in information system and general and administrative costs related to our cost savings initiatives.


Nine Months ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Nine Months ended September 30, 2019

General: Our income from continuing operations and income from continuing operations before income taxes were $52.4 million and $66.6 million, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $27.6 million and $32.5 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The $34.1 million increase in income from continuing operations before income taxes was due to higher net interest income and noninterest income which was partially offset by a higher provision for credit losses and higher noninterest expense.

Income Taxes: Our effective tax rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 21.4% as compared to 15.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and a statutory rate of 23.7%. Our effective tax rate was lower than our statutory rate due primarily to the benefits of tax advantaged investments. In the first nine months of 2019, the benefits of tax advantaged investments were a higher proportion of total earnings, resulting in a lower effective tax rate.

Net Interest Income: The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields on those assets; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense and the average rate of interest on our interest-bearing liabilities; (iii) net interest income; (iv) net interest rate spread; and (v) net yield on interest-earning assets:

(2)    Includes taxable-equivalent adjustments primarily related to tax-exempt income on certain loans and securities of $2.6 million and $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The estimated federal statutory tax rate was 21% for the periods presented.

Net interest income was higher in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 because our net interest margin increased to 3.09%. The increase in our net interest margin was due to an increase in our net interest rate spread which increased because decreases in the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities were greater than the decrease in the yield on our interest earning assets. The 64 basis point decrease in yield on interest earning assets was due to the origination of loans and purchases of securities with rates below our current portfolio rates, the ongoing repricing of variable rate loans and the prepayment and paydown of higher yielding loans and investments from our portfolios. Our cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 1.78% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to 0.96% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to a decrease in market interest rates which allowed us to reprice our deposits and borrowings at lower rates.


Provision for Credit Losses: The provision for credit losses was $20.5 million for nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $1.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Due to adverse economic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we recorded additional provisions for credit losses in the first nine months of 2020 as an estimate of the potential impact of those conditions on our loan portfolio, including an evaluation of the credit risk related to the commercial business loans and commercial real estate loans granted COVID-19 modifications during 2020 which we believe will experience a higher probability of default and increased credit losses.

The increase in noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 was due to an increase in gain on loan sales. The increase in gain on loan sales was due to higher volumes of rate locks and an increase in profit margins in our single family operations and the classification of $18 million of gain on loan sales associated with the legacy mortgage business as discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2019.

The increases$8.5 million increase in noninterest incomeexpense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018 were primarily due to $11.3 million and $21.7 million, respectively, of noninterest income contributed by the Retained MB Business. Excluding this impact, noninterest income increased primarily due to an increase in net gain on loan origination and sale activities related to an increase in commercial loan sales volume and profit margin on those commercial loan sales.

The decrease in loans serviced for others was primarily due to the sale of single family mortgages serviced for others with aggregate unpaid principal balance ("UPB") of $14.26 billion on March 29, 2019. Mortgage servicing fees collected in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased compared to the same periods in 2018 primarily due to the sales of mortgage servicing rights. Our loans serviced for others portfolio was $8.59 billion at September 30, 2019 compared to $21.69 billion at December 31, 2018 and $21.33 billion at September 30, 2018.

The decreases in loan servicing income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018 were primarily due to a lower average UPB of loans serviced for others due to our sales of single family mortgage servicing rights and lower risk management fees.

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 September 30, 2019 increased compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to an increase in the number of transaction accounts from which we generate fee

income. Depositor and other retail banking fees decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to refunding the overpayment of certain consumer overdraft fees.

The increase in noninterest expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 compared to the same periodsperiod in 2018the prior year was due to increases in compensation and benefits costs and occupancy costs which were partially offset by lower general and administrative and information systems costs. The increase in compensation and benefits costs was due to the classification of $7 million of compensation and benefits costs associated with the legacy mortgage business as discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2019 and increased commissions and bonuses paid on higher loan originations levels, including loans made under PPP, which were partially offset by reduced levels of staffing. Occupancy expenses in the first nine months of 2020 included $4.4 million of impairments related to ongoing restructuring of our facilities and staffing. General and administrative costs, including information systems costs, declined due to the benefits of our cost savings initiatives.

Financial Condition

During the first nine months of 2020, total assets increased by $597 million due to a $168 million increase in investment securities, a $214 million increase in loans held for sale, a $157 million increase in loans held for investment, net and a $94 million increase in other assets, which were partially offset by a $19 million decrease in mortgage servicing rights. The increase in the loans held for sale was due primarily to $195 million of multifamily loans held for sale at September 30 in anticipation of a bulk sale in the fourth quarter of 2020. Loans held for investment increased due to $2.1 billion of originations, including the origination of $298 million of loans under PPP, which was partially offset by sales of $345 million and prepayments and scheduled payments of $1.6 billion. The increase in other assets and other liabilities was primarily due to $9.3the recognition of our option to acquire, under the GNMA early buyout option process, $115 million and $16.9 million, respectively, of expenses contributed by the Retained MB Business. Excluding this contribution, noninterest expense decreasedloans serviced for others which are in both periodsa delinquent position, primarily due to a $1.7forbearances. The decrease in mortgage servicing rights reflected the impact of increased prepayments. Total liabilities increased by $581 million FDIC assessment credit recognized in the third quarter of 2019.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective income tax rate of 14.6% and 13.6% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, differed from the Federal blended state statutory tax rate of 23.6% primarily due to a $476 million increase in deposits, a $43 million increase in borrowings and a $64 million increase in other liabilities. The increase in deposits was due to a $547 million increase in business and consumer accounts, due in part to the benefit we received from tax-exempt interest incomefunding of PPP loans to customer accounts and its proportion to total net income.

Deposits at September 30, 2019 increased $752.9$476 million or 14.9%, from December 31, 2018. The2019 to September 30, 2020 due to a $547 million increase in deposits from December 31, 2018 was a result of competitive rates offered onbusiness and consumer time deposits, with an increase of $550.5 million, and money markets, with an increase of $132.1 million. The increase also included $74.5 millionaccounts, due in deposits relatedpart to the acquisitionfunding of a retail deposit branch in San Marcos, San Diego County, California from Silvergate Bank,PPP loans to customer accounts and the addition of new customers through PPP, which was completedpartially offset by a $71 million decrease in the first quarter of 2019, including $42.7 million of noninterest-bearing accounts and $31.8 million of money market and savings accounts. In addition, the increase also included approximately $42 million in institutional CDs generated during the second quarter of 2019. Consumer deposit growth can be sensitive to changes in interest rates, therefore, the Company continues to actively monitor the adequacy of its offered deposit rates.wholesale deposits.

Credit Risk Management
Federal Home Loan Bank advances
were $5.6 million at September 30, 2019 compared to $932.6 million at December 31, 2018. We use these borrowings primarily to fund single family loans held for sale and secondarily to fund our investment securities activities. The reduction in advances was largely due to an increase in brokered deposits as well as other deposits and the contraction of the balance sheet, which reduced our reliance on wholesale borrowings.


Shareholders' Equity

Shareholders' equity was $691.1 million at September 30, 2019 compared to $739.5 million at December 31, 2018. This decrease was primarily related to share repurchases of $81.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, partially offset by other comprehensive income of $25.5 million and net income of $6.5 million. Other comprehensive income (loss) represents unrealized gains and losses, net of tax in the valuation of our available for sale investment securities portfolio at September 30, 2019.

Shareholders' equity, on a per share basis, was $28.32 per share at September 30, 2019, compared to $27.39 per share at December 31, 2018.

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 riskshould be read 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 Contingenciesdiscussionsconjunction with "Credit Risk Management" within Part II, Item 7-7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K,10-K.

As of September 30, 2020, our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets remained low at 0.30% while our ratio of total loans delinquent over 30 days to total loans was 0.76%. The Company recorded provision for credit losses of $20.5 million for nine months ended September 30, 2020, and the ACL for loans increased by $23 million. Due to adverse economic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we recorded additional provisions for credit losses in the first nine months of 2020 as wellan estimate of the potential impact of those conditions on our loan portfolio, including an evaluation of the credit risk related to the commercial business loans and commercial real estate loans granted COVID-19 modifications during 2020 which we believe have a higher probability of default and increased credit losses.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has approved forbearances for some of its borrowers. The status of these forbearances as Note 13, of September 30, 2020 is as follows:

(2) This schedule does not include $44 million of constructions loans, (8 loans) that were modified as a result of COVID-19 related construction delays to extend the construction or lease-up periods. Each of these loans continued to perform under the existing or modified payment terms.

The forbearances approved for commercial and industrial loans and CRE nonowner occupied loans were generally for a period of 3 months while the forbearances for single family, HELOCs and consumer loans were generally for a period of 3 to 6 months. During the third quarter, second forbearances were approved for $66 million of loans, including one relationship with 18 loans and $52 million of balances. The forbearance provided to this large relationship was part of an overall restructure of the related loans. These second forbearances were to borrowers whose businesses continue to be impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As of September 30, 2020, excluding the loans approved for a second forbearance, 97% of the commercial and CRE loans approved for a forbearance prior to the third quarter have completed their forbearance period and have resumed payments. Based on information obtained through discussions with these borrowers, almost all of them have reopened their business at some level and they do not currently foresee the need for additional forbearance.

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.
Beginning 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. Since March, the Board and its various committees, specifically the Executive Committee, the Enterprise Risk Management Committee and the Credit Committee, continue to be actively engaged in oversight of the heightened risks stemming from the pandemic and the mitigations put in place by management and are being kept apprised of the status through regularly scheduled meetings and special meetings. A Crisis Management Team and the CARES Act Team meet as necessary 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. Management level risk reporting for areas of heightened risk is being kept current on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, as appropriate.

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.

Credit Risk Management


The following discussion highlights developments since December 31, 2018 and should be read in conjunction with the "Credit Risk Management" within Part II, Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Asset Quality and Nonperforming Assets

Credit quality remained strong with nonperforming assets remaining low at $14.2 million, or 0.21% of total assets, at September 30, 2019, compared to $12.1 million, or 0.17% of total assets, at December 31, 2018. The deterioration from December 31, 2018 was primarily due to an increase in commercial nonperforming loans.

Nonaccrual loans were $12.4 million, or 0.24% of total loans, at September 30, 2019, an increase of $814 thousand, or 7.0%, from $11.6 million, or 0.23% of total loans, at December 31, 2018. Delinquency rates (excluding FHA/VA insured and guaranteed portion of SBA loans) were 0.28% at September 30, 2019 compared to 0.26% at December 31, 2018; the increase was primarily related to increased commercial loan delinquencies.  

Net recoveries for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $6 thousand and net recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $221 thousand compared to net recoveries of $122 thousand and $238 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

At
September 30, 2019, our loans held for investment portfolio, net of the allowance for loan losses, was $5.14 billion, an increase of $63.7 million from December 31, 2018. The allowance for loan losses was $43.4 million, or 0.84% of loans held for investment, compared to $41.5 million, or 0.81% of loans held for investment, at December 31, 2018.

We recorded a provision for credit losses of zero and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to a provision for credit losses of $750 thousand and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Management considers the current level of the allowance for loan losses to be appropriate to cover estimated losses inherent within our loans held for investment portfolio.

For information regarding the activity on our allowance for credit losses, which includes the reserves for unfunded commitments, and the amounts that were collectively and individually evaluated for impairment, see Part I, Item 1 Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4, Loans and Credit Quality, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

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, documented by a credit report that provides credit scores and the borrower's current and past information about their 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 and 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 amount of cash expected to flow through the borrower (including the outflow to other lenders) and our prior 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 a stabilized debt coverage ratio of 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 a stabilized debt coverage ratio of 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 ResourcesSources of Funds

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 haveThe Company has 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 andThe primary 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, we also have an available line of credit from which we can borrow up to $30.0 million. At September 30, 2019, 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 pay a dividend, and our most recent special dividend to shareholders was declared during the first quarter of 2014. We are generally deploying our capital toward strategic growth, and at this time our Board of Directors has not authorized the payment of a dividend.

In the third quarter of 2019, HomeStreet, Inc. approved a stock repurchase program of up to $25.0 million of our common stock. The Bank declared a dividend payable to HomeStreet, Inc. of $25.0 million as 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.


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, repaymentsloan payments and prepayments of loans,investment security payments, both principal and interest, borrowings, and proceeds from the sale of loans and investment securities, interestsecurities. Borrowings include advances 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 andFHLB, federal funds purchased.purchased and borrowing from other financial institutions. Additionally, the Company may sell stock or issue long-term debt to raise funds. While scheduled principal repayments on loans and investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments of loans and investment securities 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 September 30, 2019, our primary liquidity ratio was 18.5% compared to 19.4% at December 31, 2018.

At September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Bank had available borrowing capacity of $1.36 billion$500 million and $492.7$943 million, respectively, from the FHLB, and $282.6$368 million and $333.5$267 million, respectively, from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.



Cash Flows

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash increased by $16.2$21 million compared to an increase of $14.3$16 million for the nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash of $40 million was used in operating activities, primarily from cash used to fund LHFS production exceeding cash proceeds from the sale of loans.

Capital ManagementResources and Dividend Policy

HomeStreet Inc. is aThe capital rules applicable to United States based bank holding company registered withcompanies and federally insured depository institutions (“Capital Rules”) require the Federal ReserveCompany (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank (on a stand-alone basis) to meet specific capital adequacy requirements that, for the most part, involve quantitative measures, primarily in terms of the ratios of their capital to their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items, calculated under regulatory accounting practices. In addition, prompt correct action regulations place a federally insured depository institution, such as the Bank, into one of five capital categories on the basis of its capital ratios: (i) well capitalized; (ii) adequately capitalized; (iii) undercapitalized; (iv) significantly undercapitalized; or (v) critically undercapitalized. A depository institution’s primary federal regulatory agency may determine that, based on certain qualitative assessments, the depository institution should be assigned to a lower capital category than the one indicated by its capital ratios. At each successive lower capital category, a depository institution is subject to greater operating restrictions and increased regulatory supervision by its federal bank regulatory agency.

The following table sets forth the capital adequacy requirementsand capital ratios of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended,HomeStreet Inc. (on a consolidated basis) and the regulations of the Federal Reserve.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. These supplemental performance measures may vary from, and may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures provided by other companies in our industry. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure may also be a financial metric that is not required by GAAP or other applicable requirement.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by providing additional information used by management that is not otherwise required by GAAP or other applicable requirements. Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating results and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate a comparison of our performance to prior periods. We believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the information below, we have provided a reconciliation of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP measures used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure.

In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we use (i) tangible common equity and tangible assets as we believe this information is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of capital ratios; and (ii) an efficiency ratio which is the ratio of noninterest expense to the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, excluding certain items of income or expense and excluding taxes incurred and payable to the state of Washington as such taxes are not classified as income taxes and we believe including them in noninterest expense impacts the comparability of our results to those companies whose operations are in states where assessed taxes on business are classified as income taxes.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP results of operations to the nearest comparable GAAP measures:

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 Market Risk 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.

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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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. While the Company is considered liability sensitive as exhibited by the gap table and the projected change in the net portfolio value, our net interest income sensitivity analysis shows positive results in the increasing interest rate scenarios. This is because of the impact of our historical deposit repricing betas which result in an assumed delay in repricing of deposits in an increasing interest rate scenario. The changes in interest rate sensitivity between December 31, 20182019 and September 30, 20192020 reflected the impact of 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. ModelingWe do not allow for negative rate assumptions in our model, but actual results in extreme interest rate decline scenarios may result in negative rate assumptions which may cause the modeling 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
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 September 30, 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 September 30, 20192020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as disclosed inThere were no changes to our internal control over 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. The Company completed the sale of assets related to 47 offices, including the sublease or assignment of leases of such offices, to Homebridge Financial Services, Inc.that occurred during the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and closed all remaining mortgage offices. 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. The 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 closely monitorour internal control over financial reporting until these initiatives are concluded.reporting.



PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 

ITEM 1LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
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 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 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,balance sheet, 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 resultITEM 1ARISK FACTORS

Refer to Item 1A of certain factors, including the risks faced by us described below and elsewhere in this report.

Risks Related to Our Operations

We may not be able to meet our cost reduction and efficiency goals on the timeline we have projected or on the scale we have anticipated.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2019 following the divestiture of our HLC-based mortgage business, we turned our focus to improving corporate efficiency in our continuing operations and implementing cost cutting measures across the organization. We have identified a range of potential initiatives, including reductions in technology expenses, and personnel as well as organizational restructuring and have begun to implement some of these changes and believe we will be able to substantially complete implementation before the end of 2020. However, we can offer no assurances that allPart I of the cost cutting measures identified can be fully implemented, that the implementation can be completed within that time frame, 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 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 recent and proposed stock repurchases may not enhance our long-term shareholder value.
During the second and third quarter of 2019, we repurchased 2,656,001 shares of our outstanding common stock in open market transactions pursuant to a stock repurchase plan and a negotiated transaction with an investor group for a total return to shareholders of approximately $81.1 million in capital. In September 2019, the Board of Directors authorized an additional stock repurchase plan, conditioned on approval or non-objection from our regulators, which was recently obtained, of up to $25 million in additional outstanding shares of our common stock through open market purchases, negotiated transactions and otherwise, which we expect to begin in the fourth quarter of 2019. While the intent of the repurchases is to return capital to shareholders to improve the long-term value of our stock, we cannot be assured that our stock repurchase programs will actually enhance long-term shareholder value. Repurchases pursuant to our stock repurchase programs may affect our stock price and increase its volatility in the short term, and the existence of a stock repurchase program may also cause our stock price to be higher than it would be in the absence of such a program and potentially may have reduced the market liquidity for our stock during the time the plan is in effect. Additionally, repurchases under our stock repurchase program have reduced our equity and regulatory capital ratios, which could impact our ability to pursue possible future strategic opportunities and acquisitions. 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. Although our stock repurchase program is intended to enhance long-term shareholder value, in the short term our stock price may fluctuate and shareholders may not immediately see an increase to the value of their holdings.
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: we have recently divested our HLC-based mortgage business and significantly reduced our employee headcount, slowed the growth of our continuing operations and begun implementing steps aimed at improving our profitability and efficiency. These transitions have resulted in some uncertainty among our continuing employees because we have also identified a number of corporate positions that are being eliminated as we seek to improve the efficiency of our remaining operations and reduce our overhead expenses, which 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, it may negatively 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 these 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.

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 impact on our financial condition and results of operations, including decreasing net interest income, decreasing profitability, increasing the cost of loan origination and adversely impacting our hedging strategies. For instance, the decreasing interest rate environment in the third quarter of 2019, which resulted in a temporary inversion of the yield curve, had an adverse impact on our net interest margin and prompted an increase in loan prepayments, which also decreased the overall yield of our loan portfolio as higher interest loans being prepaid were replaced with loans originated with lower interest rates, all of which impacted 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 may not be able to predict changes that could have a significant impact on us.

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. Therefore, our hedging activities may be insufficient to reduce impact of interest rate fluctuations on single family loans held for sale and MSRs.

Natural disasters in our geographic markets may negatively 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, and 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, 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, 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 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 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, 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.

Deterioration 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 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.

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


A proxy contest or other activist campaign and related actions, such as the 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.

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 ensure 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 control, 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.

Management has a process in place to document and analyze all identified internal control deficiencies and implement measures sufficient to remediate 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 and we will continue to realign our resources, including reductions in certain areas of corporate support operations, in line with our new strategies. If our change management processes are not sound and adequate resources are not deployed to support these implementations and changes, we may experience additional internal control deficiencies that could expose the Company to operating losses. Moreover, any failure to maintain effective controls or timely implement 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 credit losses may prove inadequate or we may be negatively affected by credit risk exposures. Future additions to our allowance for credit 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 credit losses to reflect potential defaults and nonperformance, which represents management's best estimate of probable incurred 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. 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.

The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance for credit 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. In addition, beginning January 1, 2020, our methodology for determining our allowance for loan losses will change as we implement the Current Expected Credit Losses, or CECL, accounting standard. We anticipate the adoption of CECL will result in an estimated 0%-10% increase in our allowance for credit losses, although the actual amount of the increase will depend on factors related to the composition of our loan portfolio that will not be known prior to implementation.

In addition, as we have acquired new operations, we have added 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 loan losses, and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows stemming from losses on those additional loans.

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 as 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. From time to time, we may choose to retire or replace existing financial models and reassess assumptions underlying the models, which may impact our operational risks.
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. 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 change, the cost of our funding may change at a different rate than our interest income. For example, in 2018, the FHLB 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 at which interests rates change 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.

Our capital ratios are higher than regulatory minimums. We may choose to have lower capital ratios 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 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. 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.


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 September 30, 2019, 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 recently sold a substantial portion of our MSRs related to our large scale mortgage business, which may increase our exposure to these risks 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 in the 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, and from Homebridge Financial Services LLC under a loan purchase agreement that we entered into in connection with the HLC Business Sale in mid-2019.

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 variety 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 a higher percentage of rate lock customers closing loans, which would in turn increase our costs relative to income. On the other hand, decreases in interest rates may increase loan prepayment speeds, resulting in an 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 refinancing, thereby negatively impacting demand for certain of our residential loan products and the revenue realized on the sale of loans and 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 as existing loans bearing higher interest rates are being 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 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.

We have significantly decreased our home loan mortgage origination operations 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 have experienced a significant reduction in the overall number of mortgage products being purchased in the past two to three years as compared to prior periods. In response, to those market conditions, in 2019 we sold or divested substantially all of the assets related to our stand alone home loan center-based mortgage origination business, including a significant portion of our mortgage servicing rights portfolio originated through those channels, facilitated the transfer of a significant number of our related employees to the purchaser of those assets and terminated a number of other related positions. As a result of these actions, we have a significantly smaller home loan mortgage operation than we have had in the recent past. If the mortgage market were to significantly improve, we would not have the capacity to originate mortgages to the volume we have had in recent years, which 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:

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 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.

Current 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 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, particularly unemployment levels and home prices. A prolonged period 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 return to a recessionary economic environment, could 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 a decrease in consumer and business confidence and spending, the demand for our credit products, including our mortgages, may fall, reducing our net interest income and noninterest income and our earnings. Significant and unexpected market developments may also make it more challenging for us to accurately forecast our expected financial results.

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

The Federal Reserve Board 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 recently significantly decreased the size of our residential mortgage business through the sale of our HLC-based mortgage business, we expect to continue to offer mortgage lending on a smaller scale, and therefore will remain 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". 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 loan 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 pressures in the local real estate markets, among other things. During periods of declining interest rates, or increases in real estate values, many borrowers refinance their loans. Changes in prepayment rates are therefore difficult for us to predict. The loan servicing fee income (related to the loan servicing rights corresponding to a loan) decreases as loans are prepaid. Consequently, in the event of an increase in prepayment rates, we would expect the fair value of portfolios of loan servicing rights to decrease along with the amount of loan servicing 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. For example, in November 2019, we entered into a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of an Order to Pay Civil Money Penalty (the “Stipulation and Consent”) with the FDIC based on alleged violations of the 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 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 fully 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, leading to enforcement actions, fines and penalties, such as those associated with the recent Stipulation and 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 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 significant mortgage banking operation, 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 when we engage in growth activities. If 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.

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 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 ourCompany’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The application2019, Item 1A 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, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments 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 collectabilityPart II 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 have substantially completed the evaluation of the provisions of this ASU and determined based on forecasted economic conditions and portfolio composition at September 30, 2019, the adoption of the CECL standard is estimated to result in an overall allowance for credit losses increase of 0% to 10%, as compared to our current aggregate reserve levels.


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 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 ReportCompany’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-K10-Q for the yearquarters ended DecemberMarch 31, 2018. If the Bank cannot pay dividends to us, we may be limited in our ability to service our debt, fund the Company's operations2020 and acquisition plans and pay dividends to the Company's shareholders. While the Company has paid special dividends in some prior quarters, we have not adoptedJune 30, 2020 for a policy to pay dividends. Instead, in recent years our Boarddiscussion of Directors has elected to retain capital for growth or redistribute capital to shareholders through share repurchase programsfactors that authorize repurchase in the public market rather than to declare a dividend. We have not declared dividends in any recent quarters, and the potential of future dividends is 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.

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 business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations or financial condition.and capital position.

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 breached the integrity of our confidential customer data. However, 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.ITEM 2UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

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.

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 a portion of our board of directors will 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 board of directors 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.
