Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. It is recommended these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes be read with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes included in the 2024 Annual Form 10-K. In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented for the year end December 31, 2024 were derived from audited financial statements and do not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
To prepare unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided. Management believes the judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are appropriate based on the facts and circumstances at the time. Actual results, however, could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to management's estimate of the ACL on investment securities, management's estimate of the ACL on loans, management's estimate of the ACL on unfunded commitments, management's evaluation of goodwill impairment and management's estimate of the fair value of financial instruments.
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions among the Company and the Bank have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Income have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on the prior year's net income or stockholders’ equity.
(c) Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in preparation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are disclosed in greater detail in the 2024 Annual Form 10-K. There have not been any material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from those contained in the 2024 Annual Form 10-K.
(d) Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
FASB ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, was issued in October 2023 to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements on a variety of topics and align the requirements in the FASB accounting standard codification with SEC regulations. The amendments will be effective for the Company only if the SEC removes the related disclosure requirement from its existing regulations no later than June 30, 2027. If the SEC timely removes such related requirement from its existing regulations, the corresponding amendments within the ASU will become effective for the Company on the same date with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its business operations or Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Accrued interest receivable excluded from the amortized cost on investment securities held to maturity totaled $2.1 million and $2.2 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
(3)Loans Receivable
The Company originates loans in the ordinary course of business and has also acquired loans through mergers and acquisitions. In addition to originating loans, the Company may also purchase loans through pool purchases, participation purchases and syndicated loan purchases. Accrued interest receivable was excluded from disclosures presenting the Company's amortized cost of loans receivable, as it was deemed insignificant.
(a) Loan Origination/Risk Management
The Company categorizes the individual loans in the total loan portfolio into four segments: commercial business; residential real estate; real estate construction and land development; and consumer. Within these segments are classes of loans for which management monitors and assesses credit risk in the loan portfolios. A detailed description of the portfolio segments and classes is contained in the 2024 Annual Form 10-K.
17
Table of Contents
The Company has certain lending policies and guidelines in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and approves these policies and guidelines on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming and criticized loans. The Company also conducts internal loan reviews and validates the credit risk assessment on a periodic basis and presents the results of these reviews to management. The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by loan officers and credit personnel.

(b) Concentrations of Credit
Most of the Company’s lending activity occurs within its primary market areas which are concentrated along the I-5 corridor from Whatcom County, Washington to Lane County, Oregon, as well as Yakima and Spokane County, Washington and Ada County, Idaho. Additionally, the Company's loan portfolio is concentrated in commercial business loans, which include commercial and industrial, owner-occupied and nonowner-occupied CRE loans, and commercial and multifamily real estate construction and land development loans. Commercial business loans and commercial and multifamily real estate construction and land development loans are generally considered as having a more inherent risk of default than residential real estate loans or other consumer loans. Also, the loan balance per borrower is typically larger for commercial loans than that for residential real estate loans and consumer loans, implying higher potential losses on an individual loan basis.
(c) Credit Quality Indicators
As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to (i) the risk grade of the loans, (ii) the level of classified loans, (iii) net charge-offs, (iv) nonperforming loans, (v) past due status, and (vi) the general economic conditions of the United States of America, and specifically the states of Washington, Oregon and Idaho.
The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 10. Risk grades are aggregated to create the risk categories of Pass for grades 1 to 6, Special Mention or "SM" for grade 7, Substandard or "SS" for grade 8, Doubtful for grade 9 and Loss for grade 10. Descriptions of the general characteristics of the risk grades, including qualitative information on how the risk grades relate to the risk of loss, are contained in the 2024 Annual Form 10-K. Numerical loan grades for loans are established at the origination of the loan. Changes to loan grades are considered at the time new information about the performance of a loan becomes available, including the receipt of updated financial information from the borrower, results of annual term loan reviews and scheduled loan reviews. For consumer loans, the Company follows the FDIC’s Uniform Retail Credit Classification and Account Management Policy for subsequent classification in the event of payment delinquencies or default. Typically, an individual loan grade will not be changed from the prior period unless there is a specific indication of credit deterioration or improvement. Credit deterioration is evidenced by delinquency,
18
Table of Contents
direct communications with the borrower or other borrower information that becomes known to management. Credit improvements are evidenced by known facts regarding the borrower or the collateral property.
Loan grades relate to the likelihood of losses in that the higher the grade, the greater the loss potential. Loans with a Pass grade may have some estimated inherent losses, but to a lesser extent than the other loan grades. The SM loan grade is transitory in that the Company is waiting on additional information to determine the likelihood and extent of any potential loss. The likelihood of loss for SM graded loans, however, is greater than Watch graded loans because there has been measurable credit deterioration. Loans with a SS grade have further credit deterioration and include both accrual loans and nonaccrual loans. For Doubtful and Loss graded loans, the Company is almost certain of the losses and the outstanding principal balances are generally charged off to the realizable value. There were no loans graded Doubtful or Loss as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

(4)Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
The Company's methodology for determining the ACL on loans is based upon key assumptions, including the lookback periods, historic net charge-off factors, economic forecasts, reversion periods, prepayments and qualitative adjustments. The allowance is measured on a collective, or pool, basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share common risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis and are excluded from the collective evaluation. For a description of the Company's ACL policy, see Note 1 - Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements included in Item 8. Financial Statements And Supplementary Data in our 2024 Annual Form 10-K.

Table of Contents
GAAP requires the Company to develop reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions, and estimate how those forecasts are expected to impact a borrower’s ability to satisfy their obligation to the Company and the ultimate collectability of future cash flows over the life of a loan. Management has adopted a historic loss, open pool CECL methodology to calculate the ACL on loans. Under this methodology, loans are either collectively evaluated if they share similar risk characteristics, including performing modified loans, or individually evaluated if they do not share similar risk characteristics, including nonaccrual loans.
The allowance for individually evaluated loans is calculated using either the collateral value method, which considers the likely source of repayment as the value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell, or the net present value method, which considers the contractual principal and interest terms and estimated cash flows available from the borrower to satisfy the debt.
The allowance for collectively evaluated loans is comprised of the baseline loss allowance, the macroeconomic allowance and the qualitative allowance. The baseline loss allowance begins with the baseline loss rates calculated using the Company's average quarterly historical loss information for an economic cycle. The Company evaluates the historical period on a quarterly basis with the assumption that economic cycles have historically lasted between 10 and 15 years. The baseline loss rates are applied to each loan's estimated cash flows over the life of the loan under the remaining life method to determine the baseline loss estimate for each loan. Estimated cash flows consider the principal and interest in accordance with the contractual term of the loan and estimated prepayments. Contractual cash flows are based on the amortized cost and are adjusted for balances guaranteed by governmental entities, such as Small Business Administration or USDA, resulting in the unguaranteed amortized cost. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals and modifications unless the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. Prepayments are established for each segment based on historical averages for the segment, which management believes is an accurate representation of future prepayment activity. Management reviews the adequacy of the prepayment assumption on an annual basis.
The macroeconomic allowance includes consideration of the forecasted direction of the economic and business environment and its likely impact on the estimated allowance as compared to the historical losses over the reasonable and supportable time frame. The Company uses macroeconomic scenarios from an independent third party. These scenarios are based on past events, current conditions, the likelihood of future events occurring and include consideration of the forecasted direction of the economic and business environment and its likely impact on the estimated allowance as compared to the historical losses over the reasonable and supportable time frame. Economic forecast models for the current period are uploaded to the model, which targets certain forecasted macroeconomic factors, such as unemployment rate, gross domestic product, housing price index, commercial real estate price index, and certain rate and market indices. Macroeconomic factor multipliers are determined through regression analysis and applied to loss rates for each segment of loans with similar risk characteristics. Each of the forecasted segment balances is impacted by a mix of these macroeconomic factors. Further, each of the macroeconomic factors is utilized differently by segment, including the application of lagged factors and various transformations such as percent change year over year. A macroeconomic sensitive model is developed for each segment given the current and forecasted conditions and a macroeconomic multiplier is calculated for each forecast period considering the forecasted losses as compared to the long-term average actual losses of the dataset. The impact of those macroeconomic factors on each segment, both positive and negative, using the reasonable and supportable period, are added to the calculated baseline loss allowance. After the reasonable and supportable period, forecasted loss rates revert to historical baseline loss levels over the predetermined reversion period on a straight-lined basis.
The Company’s ACL model also includes adjustments for qualitative factors, where appropriate. Since historical information (such as historical net losses and economic cycles) may not always, by themselves, provide a sufficient basis for determining future expected credit losses, the Company periodically considers the need for qualitative adjustments to the ACL. Qualitative adjustments may be related to and include, but not be limited to, factors such as: (i) management’s assessment of economic forecasts used in the model and how those forecasts align with management’s overall evaluation of current and expected economic conditions, (ii) organization specific risks such as credit concentrations, collateral specific risks, regulatory risks, and external factors that may ultimately impact credit quality, (iii) potential model limitations such as those identified through back-testing, underwriting changes, acquisition of new portfolios and changes in portfolio segmentation, and (iv) management’s overall assessment of the adequacy of the ACL, including an assessment of model data inputs used to determine the ACL.
Qualitative adjustments primarily related to certain segments of the loan portfolio deemed by management to be of a higher-risk profile where management believes the quantitative component of the Company’s ACL model may not have fully captured the associated impact to the ACL. Qualitative adjustments also relate to heightened uncertainty as to future macroeconomic conditions and the related impact on different loan segments. Management reviews the need for an appropriate level of qualitative adjustments on a quarterly basis, and as such, the amount and allocation of qualitative adjustments may change in future periods.
In general, management's estimate of the ACL on loans uses relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The evaluation of the ACL on loans is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available to recognize estimated losses on loans, future additions to the ACL on loans may be necessary based on further declines in local and national economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s ACL on loans. Such agencies may require the Company to adjust the ACL based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations. The Company believes the ACL on loans was appropriate as of September 30, 2025 given all the above considerations.

(6)Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company utilizes interest rate swap derivative contracts to facilitate the needs of its commercial customers whereby it enters into an interest rate swap with a customer while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with another financial institution. In connection with each swap transaction, the Company agrees to pay interest to the customer on a notional amount at a variable interest rate and receive interest from the customer on a similar notional amount at a fixed interest rate. At the same time, the Company agrees to pay another financial institution the same fixed interest rate on the same notional amount and receive the same variable interest rate on the same notional amount. The transaction allows the Company’s customer to effectively convert a variable rate loan to a fixed rate and the Company recognizes immediate income based upon the difference in the bid/ask spread of the underlying transactions with its customers and the third-party. Because the Company acts as an intermediary for its customer, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts for the most part offset each other and do not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations. These interest rate swaps are not designated as hedging instruments.
The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to these agreements. Credit risk for derivatives with the customer is controlled through the credit approval process, amount limits, and monitoring procedures and is concentrated within our primary market areas. Credit risk for derivatives with third-parties is concentrated among four well-known broker dealers.
Fee income related to interest rate swap derivative contract transactions is recorded in Interest rate swap fees on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income when there is fee income received during the period. The fair value of derivative positions outstanding is included in Prepaid expenses and other assets and Accrued expenses and other liabilities in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The gains and losses due to changes in fair value and all cash flows are included in Other income in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, but typically net to zero based on the identical back-to-back interest rate swap derivative contracts unless a credit valuation adjustment is recorded to appropriately reflect nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement. Various factors impact changes in the credit valuation adjustments over time, including changes in the risk ratings of the parties to the contracts, as well as changes in market rates and volatilities, which affect the total expected exposure of the derivative instruments.
The following table presents the notional amounts and estimated fair values of interest rate derivative contracts outstanding at the dates indicated:

(b) Dividends
The timing and amount of cash dividends paid on the Company's common stock depends on the Company’s earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors. Dividends on common stock from the Company depend substantially upon the receipt of dividends from the Bank, which is the Company’s predominant source of income.
The following table summarizes the dividend activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the calendar year 2024:

The FDIC and the DFI have the authority under their supervisory powers to prohibit the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company. Additionally, current guidance from the Federal Reserve provides, among other things, that dividends per share on the Company’s common stock generally should not exceed earnings per share, measured over the previous four fiscal quarters. Current regulations allow the Company and the Bank to pay dividends on their common stock if the Company’s or the Bank’s regulatory capital would not be reduced below the statutory capital requirements set by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC.

(8)Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
Level 1: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, or interest in open-end mutual funds that allow the Company to sell its ownership interest back to the fund at net asset value on a daily basis. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets, liabilities, or funds.
33
Table of Contents
Level 2: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or valuations using methodologies with observable inputs.
Level 3: Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, such as option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques using unobservable inputs, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.
(a) Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to measure the fair value of certain assets on a recurring and nonrecurring basis:
Investment Securities:
The fair values of all investment securities are based upon the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the security. If available, fair values of investment securities are determined by quoted market prices (Level 1). For investment securities where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices on similar securities (Level 2). For investment securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated by using observable and unobservable inputs such as discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Investment security valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services.
Collateral-Dependent Loans:
Collateral-dependent loans are identified for the calculation of the ACL on loans. The fair value used to measure credit loss for this type of loan is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals which are generally obtained at least every 18 months or earlier if there are changes to risk characteristics of the underlying loan. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. The Company also incorporates an estimate of cost to sell the collateral when the sale is probable. Such adjustments may be significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value based on the borrower’s financial statements or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation and management’s expertise and knowledge of the customer and customer’s business (Level 3). Individually evaluated loans are analyzed for credit loss on a quarterly basis and the ACL on loans is adjusted as required based on the results.
Appraisals on collateral-dependent loans are performed by certified general appraisers for commercial properties or certified residential appraisers for residential properties whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, the Company's internal appraisal department reviews and approves the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics.
Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Company obtains broker or dealer quotes to value its interest rate derivative contracts, which use valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2), and incorporates credit valuation adjustments to reflect nonperformance risk in the measurement of fair value (Level 3). Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate swap derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as borrower risk ratings, to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustment on the overall valuation of its interest rate swap derivatives and determined the credit valuation adjustment was not significant to the overall valuation of its interest rate swap derivatives. As a result, the Company has classified its interest rate swap derivative valuations in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Nonrecurring Basis
The Company may be required to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

(b) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Broadly traded markets do not exist for most of the Company’s financial instruments; therefore, the fair value calculations attempt to incorporate the effect of current market conditions at a specific time. These determinations are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and do not include tax ramifications; therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision, substantiated by comparison to independent markets and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the instruments. There may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results. For all of these reasons, the aggregation of the fair value calculations presented herein does not represent, and should not be construed to represent, the underlying value of the Company.

(9) Investments in Tax Credits Structures
The Company's tax credit investments include LIHTC investments and a Solar Tax Credit investment. LIHTC investments promote qualified affordable housing projects, some of which also support the Company’s regulatory compliance with the CRA. The Company’s investments in these entities generate a return primarily through the realization of federal income tax credits and other tax benefits, such as tax deductions from operating losses of the investments, over specified time periods. These tax credits and deductions are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense. For the Company’s accounting policies on tax credit investments, see Note 1 - Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements included in Item 8. Financial Statements And Supplementary Data in our 2024 Annual Form 10-K.
LIHTC Investments
The carrying values of investments in unconsolidated LIHTC investments were $169.6 million and $187.2 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, as a component of prepaid expense and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. LIHTCs are accounted for using the proportional amortization method. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 the Company recognized proportional amortization of $5.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 the Company recognized proportional amortization of $17.8 million and $14.9 million, respectively, as a component of income tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Total unfunded contingent commitments related to the Company's LIHTC investments totaled $23.5 million and $81.2 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, as a component of accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company expects to fund LIHTC commitments totaling $7.2 million during the three months ending December 31, 2025 and $5.7 million during the year ending December 31, 2026, with the remaining commitments of $10.7 million to be funded by December 31, 2041.
There were no significant modifications or events that resulted in a change in the nature or change in the underlying project for the Company's LIHTC investments at September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

(11)Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into various types of transactions that include commitments to extend credit that are not included in its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company applies the same credit standards to these commitments as it uses in all its lending activities and has included these commitments in its lending risk evaluations. The majority of the commitments presented below are variable rate. Loan commitments can be either revolving or non-revolving. The Company’s exposure to credit and market risk under commitments to extend credit is represented by the amount of these commitments.

(12) Segment Information
The Company has one reportable operating segment, commercial banking. The Company's reportable segment is determined by the Chief Executive Officer, who is the designated CODM. While the CODM monitors information provided about the Company's various products and services offered, the Company's financial performance is evaluated on a company-wide basis. The CODM will evaluate the financial performance of the Company's business components by evaluating revenue streams, significant expenses, and budget to actual results in assessing the Company's segment and in the determination of allocating resources. The CODM uses revenue streams to evaluate product pricing and significant expenses to assess performance and evaluate
38
Table of Contents
return on assets. The CODM uses consolidated net income to benchmark the Company against its competitors. The benchmarking analysis coupled with monitoring of budget to actual results are used in assessing performance and in establishing compensation. Loans, investments, and deposits provide the revenues of the banking operation. Interest expense, provisions for credit losses, and payroll provide the significant expenses in the banking operation. All operations are domestic.
(13) Proposed Merger
On September 25, 2025, Heritage entered into a definitive agreement (the "Merger Agreement") with Olympic pursuant to which Olympic will be merged with and into Heritage (the "Olympic Merger"), and immediately thereafter Olympic's bank subsidiary, Kitsap Bank, will be merged with and into Heritage's bank subsidiary, Heritage Bank.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Olympic shareholders will receive 45.0 shares of Heritage common stock for each share of Olympic capital stock. Based on the closing price of Heritage common stock of $24.64 on September 24, 2025 the implied deal value was approximately $176.6 million. Because the exchange ratio of 45.0 shares of Heritage common stock for each share of Olympic capital stock is fixed, the value of the merger consideration will fluctuate until closing based on the value of Heritage's stock price.
In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain specified circumstances, each party could be required to pay the other party a termination fee of $7.0 million.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The information contained in this section should be read together with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes included herein, the Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements included herein and the December 31, 2024 audited Consolidated Financial Statements, and the accompanying Notes included in our 2024 Annual Form 10-K.
Overview
Heritage Financial Corporation is a bank holding company which primarily engages in the business activities of our wholly-owned financial institution subsidiary, Heritage Bank. We provide financial services to customers in our market areas with an ongoing strategic focus on our commercial banking relationships, market expansion and asset quality. The Company’s business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in the Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report relates primarily to the Bank’s operations.
Our business consists primarily of commercial lending and deposit relationships with small- to medium-sized businesses and their owners in our market areas, as well as attracting deposits from the general public. We also make real estate construction and land development loans, consumer loans and residential real estate loans on single family properties located primarily in our markets.
Our core profitability depends primarily on our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, which is the income that we earn on interest earning assets, consisting primarily of loans and investment securities, and interest expense, which is the amount we pay on our interest bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits and borrowings. Management manages the repricing characteristics of the Company's interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities to protect net interest income from changes in market interest rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve. Like most financial institutions, our net interest income is significantly affected by general and local economic conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, and by governmental policies and actions of regulatory agencies. Net interest income is additionally affected by changes in the volume and mix of interest earning assets, interest earned on these assets, the volume and mix of interest bearing liabilities and interest paid on these liabilities.
Our net income is affected by many factors, including the provision for credit losses on loans. The provision for credit losses on loans is dependent on changes in the loan portfolio and management’s assessment of the collectability of the loan portfolio, as well as prevailing economic and market conditions. Management believes that the ACL on loans reflects the amount that is appropriate to provide for current expected credit losses in our loan portfolio based on the CECL methodology.
Net income is also affected by noninterest income and noninterest expense. Noninterest income primarily consists of gains or losses on the sale of investment securities, service charges and other fees, card revenue and other income. Noninterest expense primarily consists of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing and professional services expense. Compensation and employee benefits consist primarily of the salaries and wages paid to our employees and payroll taxes and expenses for retirement and other employee benefits. Occupancy and equipment expenses are the fixed and variable costs of buildings and equipment and consist primarily of lease expenses, depreciation charges, maintenance and utilities. Data processing expense consists primarily of processing and network services related to the Bank’s
39
Table of Contents
core operating system, including the account processing system, electronic payments processing of products and services, internet and mobile banking channels and software-as-a-service providers. Professional services expense consists primarily of third-party service providers such as auditors, consultants and lawyers.
Results of operations may also be significantly affected by general and local economic and competitive conditions, changes in accounting, tax, and regulatory rules, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities, including changes resulting from inflation and the governmental actions taken to address this issue, as well as changes in policies driven by the new presidential administration, including policies on tariffs and immigration, which may impact our operations or those of our customers. Net income is also impacted by our ability to execute our strategic plan to grow the Company through organic growth or acquisitions. See also "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."
Results of Operations
Net Income
Comparison of the quarter ended September 30, 2025 to the comparable quarter in the prior year
Net income increased $7.7 million, or 67.8%, to $19.2 million, or $0.55 per diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $11.4 million, or $0.33 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2024.
The increase in net income was primarily due to a $6.5 million increase in noninterest income and a $4.7 million decrease in total interest expense. Noninterest income increased due to a $6.9 million pre-tax loss on the sale of investment securities recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2024 while no loss was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2025. Total interest expense decreased due primarily to a decrease in borrowing costs.
These improvements were partially offset by a $2.3 million increase in noninterest expense due primarily to increase in compensation and employee benefits and professional services expense.
Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to the comparable period in the prior year.
Net income increased $14.0 million, or 44.6%, to $45.3 million, or $1.31 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $31.3 million, or $0.90 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2024.
The increase in net income was due primarily to a $4.6 million increase in total interest income due to increased yields earned on interest earning assets as a result of higher market interest rates, a $5.8 million decrease in total interest expense due to lower funding costs and a $9.6 million increase in noninterest income due to lower losses on sales of investment securities.
These improvements were partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $5.3 million due primarily to increase in compensation and employee benefits and professional services expense.
Net Interest Income and Margin
One of the Company's key sources of revenue is net interest income. Several factors affect net interest income, including, but not limited to: the volume, pricing, mix and maturity of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities; the volume of noninterest earning assets, noninterest bearing demand deposits, other noninterest bearing liabilities and stockholders' equity; market interest rate fluctuations; and asset quality.

Net interest income increased $10.4 million, or 6.7%, to $166.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $155.6 million for the same period in 2024, due primarily to an increase in total interest income and a decrease in total interest expense.
Total interest income increased $4.6 million, or 2.0%, to $235.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $230.8 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $13.6 million increase in interest income on loans receivable, offset partially by an $8.1 million decrease in interest income on investment securities and a $0.9 million decrease in interest income on interest earning deposits during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. Interest income on loans receivable increased due to increases in both the average yield earned on and the average outstanding balance of those assets. The average yield earned on loans receivable increased 4 basis points to 5.49% and the average balance of loans receivable increased $299.3 million to $4.77 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $4.48 billion for the same period in 2024.
Interest income on investment securities decreased $8.1 million due primarily to a decrease in average balances as a result of investment sales, maturities and repayments. Average balances on taxable securities decreased $328.0 million to $1.37 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.70 billion during the same period in 2024. Interest income on interest earning deposits decreased $0.9 million due primarily to a 103 basis point decrease in the yield earned on interest earning deposits to 4.42%, compared to 5.45% during the same period in 2024, as a result of decreases in market rates.
Total interest expense decreased $5.8 million, or 7.7%, to $69.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $75.2 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was due primarily to a $10.3 million decrease in interest expense on borrowings, offset by a $4.7 million increase in interest expense on interest bearing deposits during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in borrowing expense was due primarily to a $250.8 million decrease in the average balance of outstanding borrowings to $233.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $484.3 million for the same period in 2024, and secondarily due to a 41 basis point decrease on the average rate to 4.67% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 5.08% for the same period in 2024.
The increase in interest expense on interest bearing deposits was due primarily to a $240.8 million increase in the average balance of interest bearing accounts to $4.17 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $3.93 billion for the same period in 2024, and a 11 basis point increase on the average rate of interest bearing demand and money market accounts to 1.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 1.39% for the same period in 2024, due to competitive rate pressures. The increase was partially offset by a 51 basis point decline on the average rate of certificates of deposits to 3.83% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 4.34% for the same period in 2024, due to repricing of certificates of deposits at lower rates.
Net interest margin increased 24 basis points to 3.53% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 3.29% for the same period in 2024.

Provision for Credit Losses
The aggregate of the provision for (reversal of) credit losses on loans and on unfunded commitments is presented on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the provision for credit losses. The ACL on unfunded commitments is included on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition within accrued expenses and other liabilities.

The provision for credit losses on loans reflects the amount required to maintain the ACL on loans at an appropriate level based upon management’s evaluation of the adequacy of collective and individual loss reserves and is impacted by quarterly charge-offs and recoveries. The provision for credit losses on loans was $1.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and was due primarily to an increase in the weighted average life of residential real estate and real estate construction and land development loans which increased the calculated reserves and an increase in real estate construction and land development loan balances. Future assessments of expected credit losses will be impacted not only by changes in the composition of and amount of loans and to the reasonable and supportable forecast, but also by an updated assessment of qualitative factors, as well as consideration of any changes in the reasonable and supportable forecast reversion period.
The provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2025 was due primarily to an increase in the unfunded exposure on construction loans.
The provision for credit losses on loans was $2.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, and was driven primarily by $2.5 million in net charge-offs recognized and loan growth during the quarter. The net charge-offs of $2.5 million resulted primarily from one owner-occupied commercial real estate loan that migrated to nonaccrual status during the quarter. The reversal of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2024 was due primarily to a decrease in the unfunded exposure on construction loans.

The $2.4 million provision for credit losses on loans recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was due primarily to $911,000 in net charge-offs and an increase in the weighted average life of residential real estate and real estate construction and land development loans which increased the calculated reserves. The $365,000 provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was due primarily to an increase in the unfunded exposure on construction loans.
The $5.9 million provision for credit losses recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by $2.5 million in net charge-offs and an increase in loans receivable as well as a change in mix of loans. The $780,000 reversal of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was due primarily to a $110.4 million decrease in the unfunded exposure on construction loans which reduced the unfunded exposure and secondarily due to an increase in revolving loan utilization rates.

deposits was due primarily to a $165.6 million increase in money market accounts and a $62.6 million increase in interest bearing demand accounts from new accounts opened and transfers of funds from existing noninterest demand deposit accounts into these higher yielding accounts. The decline in certificates of deposit of $27.0 million, or 2.8%, was due primarily to a decline in brokered deposits.
Borrowings
At September 30, 2025, the Bank maintained a credit facility with the FHLB with available borrowing capacity of $1.28 billion. The FHLB functions as a member-owned cooperative providing credit for member financial institutions. Advances are made pursuant to several different programs. Each credit program has its own interest rate and range of maturities. Limitations on the amount of advances are based on a percentage of the Bank's assets or on the FHLB’s assessment of the institution’s creditworthiness. The Bank had $138.0 million in FHLB advances outstanding at September 30, 2025, and $383.0 million in FHLB advances outstanding at December 31, 2024. Advances from the FHLB may be collateralized by FHLB stock owned by the Bank, deposits at the FHLB, certain commercial and residential real estate loans, investment securities or other assets. All FHLB advances at September 30, 2025 were short-term and mature in less than one year.
The Bank maintains a credit facility with the FRB through the Discount Window with available borrowing capacity of $347.1 million at September 30, 2025. The Bank had no FRB borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
In addition to funds obtained in the ordinary course of business, the Company assumed trust preferred securities and the related junior subordinated debentures as part of a prior acquisition. For regulatory capital purposes, the trust preferred securities are included in Tier 2 capital. The junior subordinated debentures outstanding were $22.3 million as of September 30, 2025 and $22.1 million as of December 31, 2024, net of unaccreted discount.
The Bank maintains available unsecured federal funds lines with four correspondent banks totaling $145.0 million, with no outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Stockholders' Equity
Total stockholders' equity increased $40.5 million, or 4.7%, to $904.1 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $863.5 million at December 31, 2024, due primarily to $45.3 million of net income recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and a $21.8 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net, offset partially by $24.8 million in dividends paid to common shareholders and $5.5 million in common stock repurchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company’s stockholders' equity to assets ratio was 12.9% at September 30, 2025, compared to 12.2% at December 31, 2024.
The Company has historically paid cash dividends to its common shareholders. Payments of future cash dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board after taking into account various factors, including our business, operating results and financial condition, capital requirements, current and anticipated cash needs, plans for expansion, any legal or contractual limitation on our ability to pay dividends and other relevant factors. Dividends on common stock from the Company depend substantially upon the receipt of dividends from the Bank, which is the Company’s predominant source of income. On October 22, 2025, the Board declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.24 per common share payable on November 19, 2025 to shareholders of record on November 5, 2025.
On April 24, 2024, the Board authorized the Repurchase Program. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any shares of its common stock, and other than repurchases that have been completed to date, there is no assurance that the Company will do so. The Company may, in its discretion, begin, suspend or terminate repurchases at any time prior to the Program’s expiration, without any prior notice.
Regulatory Requirements
The Company is a bank holding company under the supervision of the Federal Reserve. Bank holding companies are subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve. The Bank is a federally insured institution and thereby is subject to the capital requirements established by the FDIC. The Federal Reserve capital requirements generally parallel the FDIC requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and operations. Additionally, the Company and the Bank are required to maintain a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital above 2.5% to avoid restrictions on certain activities including payment of dividends, stock repurchases and discretionary bonuses to executive officers. Management believes that, as of September 30, 2025, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's categories.

However, the Company manages its capital position as if the requirements apply to the consolidated Company and has presented the ratios as if they also applied on a consolidated basis.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents and investment securities to meet short-term liquidity needs and actively monitor our long-term liquidity position to ensure the availability of capital resources for contractual obligations, strategic loan growth objectives and to fund operations. Our funding strategy has been to focus on acquiring non-maturity deposits from our retail accounts, and noninterest bearing demand deposits from our commercial customers and to use our borrowing availability to fund growth in assets. Our liquidity policy permits the purchase of brokered deposits in an amount not to exceed 15% of the Company's total deposits as a secondary source for funding. The Company’s total uninsured deposits, which are the amounts of deposit accounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limit, currently $250,000, were approximately $2.49 billion, or 42.6% of total deposits, at September 30, 2025 and $2.27 billion, or 40.0% of total deposits, at December 31, 2024. These amounts were estimated based on the same methodologies and assumptions used for regulatory reporting purposes. At September 30, 2025, we had $77.4 million in brokered deposits, or 1.32% of total deposits, compared to $110.0 million, or 1.93% of total deposits, at December 31, 2024. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in other sources of funds (such as deposit inflows at less than projected levels). Borrowings may also be used on a longer-term basis to support expanded lending activities and match the maturity of repricing intervals of assets. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition so we adhere to internal management targets assigned to the loan to deposit ratio, liquidity ratio, net short-term non-core funding ratio and non-core liabilities to total assets ratio to ensure an appropriate liquidity position. The Company regularly monitors liquidity, models liquidity stress scenarios to ensure that adequate liquidity is available, and has contingency funding plans in place, which are reviewed and tested on a regular, recurring basis.

Management believes the capital sources are adequate to meet all reasonably foreseeable short-term and long-term cash requirements and there has not been a material change in our capital resources since the information disclosed in our 2024 Annual Form 10-K. We are not aware of any reasonably likely material changes in the mix and relative cost of such resources.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our critical accounting estimates are described in detail in the "Critical Accounting Estimates" section within Item 7 of our 2024 Annual Form 10-K. The SEC defines "critical accounting estimates" as those that require application of management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in future periods. The Company's critical accounting estimates include estimates of the ACL on loans and goodwill. There have been no material changes in these estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Like other financial institutions, the Company is subject to direct and indirect market risk. Market risk represents the risk of loss due to changes in market values of assets and liabilities. We incur direct market risk in the normal course of business through our exposure to market interest rates, equity prices and credit spreads. Our primary market risk is interest rate risk, which is the risk of loss of net interest income or net interest margin resulting from changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk results primarily from the traditional banking activities in which the Company engages, such as gathering deposits and extending loans. Many factors, including economic and financial conditions, movements in interest rates and consumer preferences, affect the difference between the interest earned on our assets and the interest paid on our liabilities.
Our Asset/Liability Management Committee is responsible for developing, monitoring and reviewing asset/liability processes, interest rate risk exposures, strategies and tactics and reporting to the Risk and Technology Committee of the Board. It is the responsibility of the Board to establish policies and interest rate limits and to approve these policies and interest rate limits annually. It is the responsibility of management to execute the approved policies, develop and implement risk management strategies and to report to the Board on a regular basis. We maintain an asset/liability management policy that provides guidelines for controlling exposure to interest rate risk. The policy guidelines direct management to assess the impact of changes in interest rates upon both earnings and capital. These guidelines establish limits for interest rate risk sensitivity.
Net interest income simulation
We use an income simulation model as the primary tool to assess the direction and magnitude of changes in net interest income resulting from changes in interest rates. Modeling the sensitivity of net interest income is highly dependent on numerous assumptions incorporated into the modeling process. Key assumptions in the model include prepayment speeds on loans and investment securities, repricing betas on non-maturity deposits, and repricing on investment securities, loans, and borrowings. In order to measure the interest rate risk sensitivity as of September 30, 2025, this simulation model uses a “static balance sheet” assumption, meaning the size and mix of the balance sheet remains the same as maturing cash flows from assets and liabilities are reinvested into the same categories at the current level of interest rates. The simulation also assumes an instantaneous and sustained uniform change in market interest rates at all maturities.

The following table summarizes the estimated effect on net interest income over a 12 month period measured against a flat rate (no interest rate change) scenario for the dates indicated:

The Company’s balance sheet sensitivity to changes in market rates shows an increase in asset sensitivity at September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024. This is due primarily to balance sheet changes that included an increase in interest earning deposits, a reduction in short-term wholesale funding, and a reduction in fixed rate investment securities. For each of the interest rate scenarios modeled and measured by management as presented in the preceding table, results at September 30, 2025 were well within established risk tolerances as established by policy.
The simulation results noted above do not incorporate any management actions that might moderate the negative consequences of interest rate deviations. In addition, the simulation results noted above contain various assumptions such as a static balance sheet, and the rate that deposit interest rates change as market interest rates change. Therefore, these simulation results do not likely reflect actual results, but continue to serve as estimates of interest rate risk.
As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the preceding table. For example, although certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or repricing time frames, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. In addition, the interest rates on certain of the Company’s asset and liability categories may precede, or lag behind, changes in market interest rates. Also, the actual rates of prepayments on loans and investments could vary significantly from the assumptions utilized in deriving the results as presented in the preceding table. Further, a change in Treasury rates accompanied by a change in the shape of the treasury yield curve could result in different estimations from those presented herein. Accordingly, the results in the preceding table should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results in the event of changing market interest rates.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management has evaluated, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer (the Company’s principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (the Company’s principal financial officer), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that that information required to be disclosed in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Table of Contents
Risks Related to the Proposed Merger
Litigation may be Filed Against the Company or Olympic (or their Respective Boards of Directors) that Could Prevent or Delay the Consummation of the Merger or Result in the Payment of Damages Following Consummation of the Merger.
It is possible that, in connection with the merger of Olympic Bancorp, Inc. (“Olympic”) with and into the Company (the “Olympic Merger”), shareholders may file demands or putative class action lawsuits against the Company or Olympic (or their respective boards of directors). Among other remedies, these shareholders could seek financial damages or to enjoin the Olympic Merger. The outcome of any such litigation is uncertain. Additionally, one of the conditions to the closing of the Olympic Merger is that there must be no order, injunction, decree, statute, rule, regulation or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing or making illegal the consummation of the Olympic Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement between the Company and Olympic (the “Merger Agreement”). If a dismissal is not granted or a settlement is not reached and any plaintiff were successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the Company or Olympic from completing the Olympic Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, then such injunction may delay or prevent the effectiveness of the Olympic Merger and could result in significant costs to the Company or Olympic, including any cost associated with the indemnification of directors and officers of each company. The defense or settlement of any lawsuit or claim that remains unresolved at the time the Olympic Merger is consummated may adversely affect the combined company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and the market price of the combined company.
Issuance of Shares of the Company’s Common Stock Pursuant to the Merger Agreement May Adversely Affect the Market Price of the Company’s Common Stock.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company expects to issue approximately 7,167,600 shares of the Company’s common stock to Olympic shareholders. The dilution caused by the issuance of a large number of new shares of the Company’s common stock may result in fluctuations in the market price of the Company’s common stock, including a potential stock price decrease.
The Company May Fail to Realize the Anticipated Benefits of the Olympic Merger.
The Company and Olympic have operated and, until the consummation of the Olympic Merger, will continue to operate, independently. The success of the Olympic Merger, including anticipated benefits and cost savings, will depend on, among other things, the Company’s ability to combine the businesses of the Company and Olympic in a manner that permits growth opportunities, including, among other things, enhanced revenues and revenue synergies, an expanded market reach and operating efficiencies, and does not materially disrupt the existing customer relationships of the Company or Olympic, nor result in decreased revenues due to any loss of customers. If the Company is not able to successfully achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the Olympic Merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. Failure to achieve these anticipated benefits could result in increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues and diversion of management’s time and energy and could have an adverse effect on the surviving corporation’s business, financial condition, operating results, prospects and stock price.
While individuals employed by Olympic or Kitsap Bank, the wholly-owned banking subsidiary of Olympic, immediately prior to the effective time will automatically become employees of the Company or Heritage Bank following the Olympic Merger, certain employees may not be retained by the Company after the merger. In addition, certain employees that the Company wishes to retain may elect to terminate their employment as a result of the Olympic Merger, which could delay or disrupt the integration process. It is possible that the integration process could result in the disruption of the Company’s or Olympic’s ongoing businesses or cause inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect the ability of the Company or Olympic to maintain relationships with customers and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the Olympic Merger.
Among the factors considered by the boards of directors of both the Company and Olympic in connection with their respective approvals of the Merger Agreement were the anticipated benefits that could result from the Olympic Merger. There can be no assurance that these benefits will be realized within the time periods contemplated or at all.
Regulatory Approvals May Not be Received, May Take Longer than Expected or May Impose Conditions that are Not Presently Anticipated or Cannot be Met.
Before the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement can be consummated, various approvals must be obtained from the bank regulatory and other governmental authorities. In deciding whether to grant regulatory clearances, the relevant governmental entities will consider a variety of factors, including the regulatory standing of each of the parties. An adverse condition or development in either party’s regulatory standing or other factors could result in an inability to obtain one or more of the required regulatory approvals, or delay their receipt. The terms and conditions of the approvals that are granted may impose requirements, limitations or costs, or may place restrictions on the conduct of the combined company’s business.
The Company and Olympic believe that the Olympic Merger should not raise significant regulatory concerns, and that the parties will be able to obtain all requisite regulatory approvals in a timely manner. Despite the parties’ commitments to use their reasonable best efforts to comply with conditions imposed by regulatory entities, under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company and Olympic will not be required to consummate the Olympic Merger if any such approvals would reasonably be expected to materially restrict or burden the Company following the merger. There can be no assurance that regulators will not impose conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions, or that such conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions will not have the effect of delaying the consummation of the Olympic Merger, imposing additional material costs on or materially limiting the revenues of the combined company following the Olympic Merger or otherwise reduce the anticipated benefits of the Olympic

Merger if the Olympic Merger were consummated successfully within the expected timeframe. In addition, neither the Company nor Olympic can provide assurance that any such conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions will not result in the delay or abandonment of the Olympic Merger. The consummation of the Olympic Merger is further conditioned on the absence of certain orders, injunctions or decrees by any court or regulatory agency of competent jurisdiction that would prohibit or make illegal the consummation of the Olympic Merger.
