$WAFD Washington Federal reports Q4 EPS 71c, consensus 70c Reports Q4 NII $172.82M, consensus $177.52M. Provision for credit losses was nil vs. $26.5M last year. Net interest margin was 2.62% vs. 2.56% in the previous quarter. CEO Brent Beardall commented, "Considering what was one of the more challenging macro environments in my twenty-three years at the Bank, our FY24 was an excellent year with after tax earnings just north of $200 million. We took material steps to position the balance sheet for the Fed's much anticipated move to reduce interest rates. As we start FY25, we have over 19% of our total balance sheet in cash and investments, borrowing capacity of more than $6B and problem loans totaling just 0.28% of assets. Optionality is a beautiful thing when the future is uncertain and we believe we are moving forward with a capacity to be relevant and a nimbleness to adapt. WaFd sees significant opportunity for growth in all of our nine western states, where we believe economic growth will outpace overall US growth. Perhaps our biggest concern is the potential for unexpected events. Over the years, we have seen it's the surprise of what was not modeled, what was not thought likely, that takes down strong financial institutions. This knowledge keeps us humble and operating with a meaningful surplus of capital and liquidity."

User Image DonCorleone77 Posted - 4 months ago

$WAFD Washington Federal reports Q2 EPS 75c, consensus 57c Reports Q2 NII $177.2M vs. $168.7M last year. CEO Brent Beardall commented, "We are very pleased to report solid results for the first full quarter following the largest acquisition in our history. In addition to successfully integrating Luther Burbank into our operations, we also executed what we believe to be the largest Commercial Real Estate ('CRE') loan sale ever in US banking (excluding FDIC transactions), proving the quality and liquidity of our loans and we did it at no loss to WaFd. Initially, we used the net proceeds of approximately $2.6 billion to pay down $1.6 billion of borrowings with the remainder invested overnight in our Federal Reserve account at 5.40%. Over the next several quarters we plan on redeploying the liquidity into new loans at higher rates. In addition, we have entered into a commitment to sell, with no anticipated P&L impact, approximately $450 million of single-family mortgage loans. We expect that sale to close in late August. Our margin for the quarter was 2.56% which we expect to be the nadir for this cycle (assuming no further interest rate increases) as we believe the benefits of both loan sales to be accretive to the margin going forward. Contrary to many headlines that are predicting credit challenges for banks, our asset quality is holding up very well. Loan delinquencies decreased from 0.36% at March 31, 2024 to 0.22% at June 30, 2024, while non-performing loans were flat. For CRE, delinquencies are just 0.09% on a portfolio of $9.9 billion."

$WAFD Washington Federal reports Q2 EPS 17c, consensus 49c Reports Q2 NII $158.6M vs. $175.0M last year. CEO Brent Beardall says: "In the future, when we look back at the acquisition of Luther Burbank, we will see the addition of this $8 billion asset franchise in California as a transformational event for WaFd Bank. As expected, there is a lot of noise in the quarter so we have provided disclosures showing what earnings would have been without the merger costs and certain non-operating income and expenses. Absent these items, net income would have been $54.8 million, a 6% decrease from the December quarter. While the continuation of the challenging interest rate environment has made strategic execution more difficult, we remain excited by the potential of this purchase. "I am especially proud of how quickly we were able to complete this acquisition once regulatory approval was granted. We closed on the acquisition of LBC on February 29, 2024. The next day, Friday March 1st, we started the systems conversions and branch re-branding and completed the work just two days later, opening our doors March 4th as WaFd branches operating on WaFd's core systems. To my knowledge this was one of, if not the fastest close-to-conversion in modern history for U.S. banking for transactions over $1 billion. Speed only matters if you are able to execute with quality and our teams, especially our front-line bankers in the California branches and the support teams in operations and technology, were remarkably successful executing the conversion plan. The best indicator of this success is the behavior of the impacted clients. From conversion until quarter end, deposit accounts are down only 1.1%."
