The Company analyzes investment securities to determine whether there have been any events or economic circumstances to indicate that a security has incurred a credit-related loss. The Company considers many factors including recent events specific to the issuer or industry, and for securities, external credit ratings and recent downgrades.
We regularly analyze investment securities to determine whether there have been 39 any events or economic circumstances to indicate that a security has incurred a credit-related loss. In making these assessments, we consider many factors including recent events specific to the issuer or industry, and for securities, external credit ratings and recent downgrades.
Credit component losses are reported in allowance for credit losses in the income statement when the present value of expected future cash flows is less than the amortized cost.
Credit-related losses are recorded in the ACL in the income statement when the present value of expected future cash flows is less than the amortized cost.

If our estimates are incorrect, the allowance for credit losses for loans may not be sufficient to cover losses inherent in our loan portfolio, resulting in the need for increases in our allowance for credit losses through the provision for credit losses which is charged against income.
If our estimates are incorrect, the ACL for loans may not be sufficient to cover losses inherent in our loan portfolio, resulting in the need for increases in the ACL 37 through additional provisions, which would reduce income.
Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence not only the interest we receive on loans and investments and the amount of interest we pay on deposits and borrowings, but these changes could also affect: (1) our ability to originate and/or sell loans and obtain deposits; (2) the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities, which could negatively impact shareholders’ equity, and our ability to realize gains from the sale of such assets; (3) our ability to obtain and retain deposits in competition with other available investment alternatives; (4) the ability of our borrowers to repay adjustable or variable rate loans; and (5) the average duration of our investment securities portfolio and other interest-earning assets.
Changes in monetary policy, including interest rate shifts, may affect: (1) the interest we earn on loans and investments and the interest we pay on deposits and borrowings; (2) our ability to originate and/or sell loans and attract deposits; (3) the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities, which may impact shareholders’ equity and our ability to realize gains from the sale of such assets; (4) our competitiveness in attracting and retaining deposits relative to other investment alternatives; (5) the ability of our borrowers to repay adjustable or variable rate loans; and (6) the average duration of our investment securities and other interest-earning assets.
Risk Related to Market Interest Rates Changes in interest rates may reduce our net interest income and may result in higher defaults in a rising rate environment. Our earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon our net interest income.
If integration efforts are unsuccessful, acquisitions may not be accretive to earnings in the short or long term. 38 Risk Related to Market Interest Rates Changes in interest rates may reduce our net interest income and may result in higher defaults in a rising rate environment. Our earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon our net interest income.
Noncredit component losses are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) when the Company (1) does not intend to sell the security or (2) is not more likely than not to have to sell the security prior to the security’s anticipated recovery.
Losses not related to credit are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) when we (1) do not intend to sell the security, or (2) are not more likely than not to sell the security prior to its anticipated recovery.
At September 30, 2024, we had $313.82 million in certificates of deposit that mature within one year and $1.28 billion in non-interest bearing, NOW checking, savings and money market accounts. We would incur a higher cost of funds to retain these deposits in a rising interest rate environment.
At September 30, 2025, we had $406.99 million in certificates of deposit that mature within one year and $1.27 billion in non-interest bearing, NOW checking, savings and money market accounts. Retaining these deposits in a rising rate environment may require us to offer higher rates, increasing our cost of funds.
As a result, these loans may experience a higher rate of default in a rising interest rate environment. Changes in interest rates also affect the value of our investment securities available for sale. Generally, the fair value of fixed-rate securities fluctuates inversely with changes in interest rates.
In addition, a substantial amount of our residential mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit have adjustable interest rates. As a result, these loans may experience a higher rate of default in a rising interest rate environment. Changes in interest rates also affect the fair value of our investment securities available for sale.
Any decline in available funding in amounts adequate to finance our activities or on terms which are acceptable could adversely impact our ability to originate loans, invest in securities, meet our expenses, or fulfill obligations such as repaying our borrowings or meeting deposit withdrawal demands, any of which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Any decline in available funding in amounts sufficient to finance our operations or on acceptable terms could impair our ability to originate loans, invest in securities, meet operating expenses, repay borrowings, or satisfy deposit withdrawal demands. These events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. See “Item 7.
There can be no assurance that we will successfully identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions or successfully integrate acquired operations into our existing operations or expand into new markets.
There can be no assurance that we will successfully identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions or successfully integrate acquired operations into our existing operations or expand into new markets. The consummation of any future acquisitions may dilute shareholder value or adversely affect our operating results during the integration period.
If our non-performing assets increase, our earnings will be adversely affected. At September 30, 2024, our non-performing assets (which consisted solely of non-accruing loans, non-accrual investment securities, and OREO) were $3.94 million, or 0.2% of total assets.
At September 30, 2025, our non-performing assets (which consisted solely of non-accruing loans, non-accrual investment securities, and OREO) were $4.66 million, or 0.23% of total assets.
Management also recognizes that significant new growth in loan portfolios, new loan products and the refinancing of existing loans can result in portfolios comprised of unseasoned loans that may not perform in a historical or projected manner and will increase the risk that our allowance may be insufficient to absorb losses without significant additional provisions.
Management also recognizes that significant growth in loan portfolios, new loan products and the refinancing of existing loans may result in unseasoned portfolios that do not perform in line with historical or projected trends, increasing the risk that our ACL may be insufficient.
The financial services market, including banking services, is undergoing rapid changes with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services.

Factors that could detrimentally impact our access to liquidity sources include a decrease in the level of our business activity due to a downturn in the Washington markets in which our loans and deposits are concentrated, negative operating results, or adverse regulatory action against us.
Factors that could limit our access to liquidity include a decrease in business activity in the Washington markets where our loans and deposits are concentrated, negative operating results, adverse regulatory action, disruptions in the financial markets, or negative views and expectations regarding the financial services industry.
If our investments in real estate are not properly valued or sufficiently reserved to cover actual losses, or if we are required to increase our valuation allowances, our earnings could be reduced .
Future decreases in interest rates could decrease the fair value of our loan servicing rights below their recorded amount, which would decrease our earnings. If our investments in real estate are not properly valued or sufficiently reserved to cover actual losses, or if we are required to increase our valuation allowances, our earnings could be reduced .
Recessionary conditions or adverse economic conditions in our local market areas of Grays Harbor, Pierce, Thurston, King, Kitsap and Lewis counties Washington, which we consider to be our primary market area, may reduce our rate of growth, affect our customers' ability to repay loans and adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Adverse economic developments in our primary market areas of Grays Harbor, Pierce, Thurston, King, Kitsap, and Lewis counties Washington, could also slow our growth, impair our customers’ ability to repay loans, and otherwise negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Every loan carries a risk that it will not be repaid in accordance with its terms or that any underlying collateral will not be sufficient to assure repayment.
Our allowance for credit losses on loans may not be sufficient to absorb losses in our loan portfolio. Lending money is a substantial part of our business. Every loan carries a risk that it will not be repaid in accordance with its terms or that any underlying collateral will not be sufficient to assure repayment.
A decline in residential real estate values, particularly in the Washington housing market, may reduce the value of collateral securing these loans and increase our risk of loss if borrowers default. Some of our residential mortgage loans are secured by properties with little or no borrower equity, either due to high loan-to-value ratios at origination or declining home values.
Some of our residential mortgage loans are secured by properties with little or no borrower equity, either due to high loan-to-value ratios at origination or subsequent declines in property values. These loans are more vulnerable to default and loss in a declining market. Additionally, home equity lines of credit secured by second mortgages present heightened risk.
Any of these results could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. 41 Climate change and related legislative and regulatory initiatives may materially affect our business and results of operations. Climate change continues to be a pressing concern, prompting heightened awareness and action on a global scale.
Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. Climate change and related legislative and regulatory initiatives may materially affect our business and results of operations.

We cannot assure you that these failures, interruptions, or breaches will not occur or that they will be adequately addressed by us or by the third parties on which we rely. We may not be insured against all types of losses associated with these events, and available coverage may be inadequate.
This risk is affected by, among other things: the cash flow of the borrower and/or the project being financed; the changes and uncertainties as to the future value of the collateral, in the case of a collateralized loan; the duration of the loan; the credit history of a particular borrower; and changes in economic and industry conditions. 37 To address these risks, we maintain an allowance for credit losses on loans, which is a reserve established through a provision for credit losses on loans charged against operating income, that we believe is appropriate to provide for expected losses in our loan portfolio.
This risk is affected by, among other things: the cash flow of the borrower and/or the project being financed; the changes and uncertainties as to the future value of the collateral, in the case of a collateralized loan; the duration of the loan; the credit history of a particular borrower; and changes in economic and industry conditions.
Further, the occurrence of any systems failure or interruption could damage our reputation and result in a loss of customers and business, could subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny, or could expose us to legal liability. Any of these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our business financial condition and results of operations.
Any such occurrence may damage our reputation, result in a loss of customers and business, increase regulatory scrutiny, or expose us to legal liability, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Our business may be adversely affected by an increasing prevalence of fraud and other financial crimes.
Real estate values are affected by various other factors, including changes in general or regional economic conditions, government rules or policies and natural disasters such as fires and earthquakes. If we are required to liquidate a significant amount of collateral during a period of reduced real estate values, our financial condition and profitability could be adversely affected.
Real estate values are affected by a range of factors, including economic conditions, regulatory changes, natural disasters, and trade-related issues affecting construction costs and material availability. If we must liquidate a significant amount of collateral during a period of reduced real estate values, our financial condition and profitability could be adversely affected.
Any such charge could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We are subject to an extensive body of accounting rules and best practices. Periodic changes to such rules may change the treatment and recognition of critical financial line items and affect our profitability.
Changes in market conditions, regulatory developments, or economic uncertainty could increase the likelihood of goodwill impairment. Any such charge could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We are subject to an extensive body of accounting rules and best practices.
Commercial real estate loans also expose a lender to greater credit risk than loans secured by residential real estate, because the collateral securing these loans typically cannot be sold as easily as residential real estate. In addition, many of our commercial real estate loans are not fully amortizing and contain large balloon payments upon maturity.
Commercial real estate loans also expose a lender to greater credit risk than loans secured by residential real estate due to the relative illiquidity of the collateral. Many of these loans are not fully amortizing and include large balloon payments at maturity, which may require the borrower to refinance or sell the property.
They require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments about matters that are uncertain. Materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions or estimates. For more information, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates” contained in this 2024 Form 10-K.
Materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions or estimates, particularly in the current environment of inflationary pressures, interest rate volatility, changing credit quality trends, and evolving regulatory guidance. For more information, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates” contained in this 2025 Form 10-K.
Deterioration in economic conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding existing loans, identification of additional problem loans and other factors, both within and outside of our control, may also require an increase in the allowance for credit losses.
Deterioration in economic conditions, new information regarding existing loans, identification of additional problem loans, and other factors, both within and outside of our control, may also require an increase in the ACL. Bank regulatory agencies also periodically review our ACL and may require us to increase the provision or recognize further charge-offs based on their judgment.
As discussed below, we are required to assess our goodwill for impairment at least annually, and any goodwill impairment charge could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation and financial condition; and We expect that our net income will increase following an acquisition; however, we also expect our general and administrative expenses to increase, which could result to an increase in our efficiency ratio.
We are required to assess goodwill for impairment at least annually, and any impairment charge could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition; and While we expect acquisitions to contribute to net income , they may also increase general and administrative expenses, which could raise our efficiency ratio.
We may experience decreases in the fair value of our loan servicing rights, which could reduce our earnings. Loan servicing rights are capitalized at estimated fair value when acquired through the origination of loans that are subsequently sold with servicing rights retained. At September 30, 2024, our loan servicing rights totaled $1.37 million.
Loan servicing rights are capitalized at estimated fair value when acquired through the origination of loans that are subsequently sold with servicing rights retained. At September 30, 2025, our loan servicing rights totaled $815,000. Loan servicing rights are amortized to servicing income on loans sold over the period of estimated net servicing income.
If these issues or liabilities exceed our estimates, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially negatively affected; We could experience higher than expected deposit attrition; The acquisition of other entities generally requires integration of systems, procedures and personnel of the acquired entity into our company to make the transaction economically successful.
If these issues or liabilities exceed our estimates, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected; We could experience higher than expected deposit attrition, which could reduce funding sources and impact liquidity; The integration of systems, procedures, and personnel is complex and time-consuming, and may disrupt customer relationships and internal operations.
Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or by the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. Risks Related to our Lending Activities Our real estate construction and land loans expose us to significant risks. We specialize in real estate construction loans for individuals and builders, mainly focusing on residential property development.
Risks Related to our Lending Activities Our real estate construction and land loans expose us to significant risks. We specialize in real estate construction lending to individuals and builders, mainly focusing on residential property development. These loans are often originated regardless of whether the collateral property is subject to a sales contract.
If we are unable to manage interest rate risk effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected. Changes in interest rates could also have a negative impact on our results of operations by reducing the ability of borrowers to repay their current loan obligations or by reducing our margins and profitability.
In a volatile rate environment, we may not be able to manage this risk effectively, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Interest rate changes may also impair borrowers’ ability to repay existing obligations or reduce our margins and profitability.
If our risk management framework proves ineffective, we could suffer unexpected losses which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We are dependent on key personnel, and the loss of one or more of those key personnel may materially and adversely affect our prospects.
We are dependent on key personnel, and the loss of one or more of those key personnel may materially and adversely affect our prospects.
Any new regulations or legislation, change in existing regulations or oversight, whether a change in regulatory policy or a change in a regulator's interpretation of a law or regulation, could have a material impact on our operations, increase our costs of regulatory compliance and of doing business and adversely affect our profitability. In this regard, the U.S.
These laws, regulations, rules, standards, policies, and interpretations are constantly evolving and may change significantly over time. Any new regulations or legislation, changes in existing regulations or oversight, or changes in regulatory interpretation could materially impact our operations, increase our costs of compliance and doing business, and adversely affect our profitability. 40 For example, the U.S.
Our primary sources of liquidity are increases in deposit accounts, cash flows from loan payments and our securities portfolio. Borrowings also provide us with a source of funds to meet liquidity demands. An inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, the sale of loans or other sources could have a substantial negative effect on our liquidity.
We rely on several sources to meet our liquidity needs, including deposits, cash flows from loan repayments, our securities portfolio, and borrowings. An inability to raise funds from these sources could have a 44 substantial negative effect on our liquidity.
Notably, approximately $132.10 million of our residential construction loans are structured to convert into permanent loans upon construction completion. Construction lending involves inherent risks due to estimating costs in relation to project values. Uncertainties in construction costs, market value, and regulatory impacts make accurately evaluating total project funds and loan-to-value ratios challenging.
Approximately $130.34 million of our residential construction loans are structured to convert into permanent loans upon construction completion. 35 Construction lending is inherently risky due to the difficulty in accurately estimating project costs and values.
One such significant change in fiscal 2024 was the implementation of the CECL model, which we adopted on October 1, 2023. Under the CECL model, financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, are presented at the net amount expected to be collected.
Under the CECL model, financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, are presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This forward-looking approach in estimating expected credit losses contrasts with the prior, "incurred loss" model, which delays recognition until a loss is probable.
Accordingly, charge-offs on commercial real estate loans may be larger as a percentage of the total principal outstanding than those incurred with our residential or consumer loan portfolios. Repayment of our commercial business loans is often dependent on the cash flows of the borrower, which may be unpredictable, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value.
Repayment of our commercial business loans is often dependent on the cash flows of the borrower, which may be unpredictable, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. 36 At September 30, 2025, we had $127.0 million, or 8.1%, of total loans in commercial business loans.
We principally manage interest rate risk by managing our volume and mix of our earning assets and funding liabilities.
Further rate decreases could negatively impact our net interest income, although they may benefit the housing market by increasing refinancing activity and new home purchases. We principally manage interest rate risk by managing the volume and mix of our earning assets and funding liabilities.
We may also experience greater than anticipated customer losses even if the integration process is successful; To the extent that our costs of an acquisition exceed the fair value of the net assets acquired, the acquisition will generate goodwill.
If integration is not executed effectively, we may fail to realize anticipated synergies or economic benefits, and may lose customers or employees of the acquired business; To the extent that our acquisition costs exceed the fair value of net assets acquired, we will record goodwill.
Although we have historically been able to replace maturing deposits and borrowings if desired, we may not be able to replace such funds in the future if, among other things, our financial condition, the financial condition of the FHLB or FRB, or market conditions change.
Replacing maturing deposits and borrowings may be challenging due to changes in our financial condition, the financial condition of the FHLB or FRB, or broader market conditions.
If any of our third-party service providers experience financial, operational or technological difficulties, or if there is any other disruption in our relationships with them, we may be required to identify alternative sources of such services, and we cannot assure that we could negotiate terms that are as favorable to us or could obtain services with similar functionality as found in our existing systems without the need to expend substantial resources, if at all.
If a third-party service provider experiences financial, operational, or technological difficulties, or if there is any other disruption in our relationship with that provider, we may be required to identify alternative sources of service, which may not be available on comparable terms or without significant additional resources.
Although we have developed and continue to invest in systems and processes that are designed to detect and prevent security breaches and cyberattacks and periodically test our security, these 42 precautions may not protect our systems from compromises or breaches of our security measures, and could result in losses to us or our customers, our loss of business and/or customers, damage to our reputation, the incurrence of additional expenses, disruption to our business, our inability to grow our online services or other businesses, additional regulatory scrutiny or penalties, or our exposure to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
Any compromise or breach of our security measures could result in losses to us or our customers, the loss of business and/or customers, damage to our reputation, additional expenses, disruptions to our operations, limitations on our ability to grow our online services or other businesses, increased regulatory scrutiny or penalties, or exposure to civil litigation and potential financial liability.
While we have policies and procedures designed to prevent such losses, there can be no assurance that such losses will not occur. We rely on other companies to provide key components of our business infrastructure. We rely on certain external vendors to provide products and services necessary to maintain our day-to-day operations.
We have also experienced losses due to apparent fraud and other financial crimes. 42 While we have policies and procedures designed to prevent such losses, there can be no assurance that such losses will not occur.
Further, transaction-related expenses may adversely affect our earnings. These adverse effects on our earnings and results of operations may have a negative impact on the value of our common stock.
Once integrated, acquired operations may not achieve levels of profitability comparable to our existing operations or otherwise perform as expected. In addition, transaction-related expenses may reduce earnings. These adverse effects on our earnings and results of operations may negatively impact the value of our common stock.
These loans typically involve higher principal amounts than other types of loans, and repayment is dependent upon income generated, or expected to be generated, by the property securing the loan in amounts sufficient to cover operating expenses and debt service, which may be adversely affected by changes in the economy or local market conditions.
These loans typically involve larger principal amounts and rely on income generated, or expected to be generated, by the underlying property to meet operating expenses and debt service. Any deterioration in economic conditions or local market conditions, such as reduced leasing activity or non-renewal of leases, may impair the borrower’s ability to repay the loan.
Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network ("FinCEN"), published guidelines in 2014 for financial institutions servicing marijuana businesses that are legal under state law. These guidelines allow us to work with marijuana-related businesses that are operating in accordance with state laws and regulations as long as we comply with required regulatory oversight of their accounts with us.
Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) published guidance in 2014, supplemented by subsequent updates, allowing financial institutions to serve cannabis-related businesses operating legally under state law, provided institutions comply with required regulatory oversight.
For example, a decrease in interest rates typically increases the prepayment speeds of loan servicing rights and therefore decreases the fair value of the loan servicing rights. 44 Future decreases in interest rates could decrease the fair value of our loan servicing rights below their recorded amount, which would decrease our earnings.
For example, a decrease in interest rates typically increases the prepayment speeds of loan servicing rights and therefore decreases the fair value of the loan servicing rights. Conversely, slower-than-expected prepayments or rising interest rates may increase the fair value of these assets, but may also affect the timing of income recognition.
Our emphasis on commercial real estate lending may expose us to increased lending risks. Our current business strategy includes an emphasis on commercial real estate lending. This type of lending activity, while potentially more profitable than single-family residential lending, is generally more sensitive to regional and local economic conditions, making loss levels more difficult to predict.
While this type of lending may offer higher yields than single-family residential lending, it is generally more sensitive to regional and local economic conditions, which can make loss levels more difficult to predict. Evaluating collateral and analyzing borrower financial information for commercial real estate loans requires more detailed underwriting and ongoing monitoring compared to residential lending.
