UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information combines the historical financial results of operations of WaFd, Inc. (“WaFd”) and Luther Burbank Corporation (“LBC”) and reflects the acquisition of LBC by WaFd. The merger of WaFd and LBC (the “Corporate Merger”) closed after close of business on February 29, 2024, deemed effective March 1, 2024 (the “Merger Date”), and provided that each share of common stock of LBC issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger was automatically converted into the right to receive 0.3353 of a share (the “exchange ratio”) of common stock of WaFd. Promptly following the Corporate Merger, LBC’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Luther Burbank Savings, merged with and into Washington Federal Bank, dba WaFd Bank, WaFd’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary (“WaFd Bank”), with WaFd Bank as the surviving institution (the “Bank Merger”). The Corporate Merger and the Bank Merger are collectively referred to as the “Merger.” The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the accompanying notes (the “unaudited pro formal financial information”) are presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the Merger.

The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on and should be read in conjunction with the separate historical financial statements and notes thereto in each of WaFd’s and LBC’s SEC filings including:

•the historical audited consolidated financial statements of WaFd and accompanying notes included in WaFd’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2023;

•the historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of WaFd and accompanying notes included in WaFd’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended March 31, 2024;

•the historical audited consolidated financial statements of LBC and accompanying notes included in LBC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022; and

•the historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of LBC and accompanying notes included in LBC’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022.

Additionally, the unaudited pro forma financial information is based on and should be read in conjunction with the separate historical financial statements and notes thereto in LBC’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2023, furnished as exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A to which this Exhibit 99.2 is attached.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the year ended September 30, 2023 and the six months ended March 31, 2024, combine the historical consolidated statements of operations for WaFd and the historical consolidated statements of income for LBC for the same periods. As LBC’s fiscal year end differed from WaFd’s, the consolidated statement of operations was derived from subtracting the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from the year ended December 31, 2022 and adding the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to form a full year ended September 30, 2023. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, LBC’s historical consolidated statement of operations was derived from subtracting the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from the full year ended December 31, 2023, adding the unaudited results from January and February 2024.

The pro forma statements of operations presented below include adjustments that depict the effects of the purchase accounting adjustments present within WaFd’s March 31, 2024 statement of condition, as filed in WaFd’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, assuming those adjustments were made as of October 1, 2022 (the “pro forma transaction accounting adjustments”).

The unaudited pro forma financial information is provided for illustrative information purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily, and should not be assumed to be, an indication of the actual results that would have been achieved had the Merger been completed as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved in the future.

Exhibit 99.2

The unaudited pro forma financial information also does not consider any potential effects of changes in market conditions on total interest income, expense efficiencies, asset dispositions, and share repurchases, among other factors. In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes, the preliminary purchase price allocation reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information is subject to adjustment and may vary significantly from the final purchase price allocation.

WaFd has completed a preliminary valuation analysis and calculations necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair market value of the assets acquired or liabilities assumed and the pro forma transaction accounting adjustments herein are estimates based on these preliminary values. Any changes in the fair values of the net assets or total purchase consideration as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma financial information may change the amount of the total purchase price allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the combined company’s statement of income. The final purchase price allocation may be materially different than the preliminary purchase consideration allocation presented in the unaudited pro forma financial information.

The transaction accounting adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma financial information.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X to illustrate the effects of the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended September 30, 2023 combine the historical consolidated statement of operations of WaFd and the consolidated statement of income of LBC, giving effect to the acquisition as if it had been completed on October 1, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2024 combine the historical consolidated statement of operations of WaFd and LBC, giving effect to the acquisition as if it had been completed on October 1, 2022. The combined statement of financial condition has not been included as the statement of financial condition presented for March 31, 2024 within WaFd’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflects the combined entity.

Note 2—Preliminary Purchase Accounting Allocation

The transaction accounting adjustments depict the accounting for the Merger, including the preliminary purchase price allocation. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The pro forma transaction accounting adjustments included in the pro forma financial statements are based upon available information and certain assumptions considered reasonable, and may be revised as additional information becomes available.

The purchase price for purposes of the transaction accounting adjustments is calculated based on the number of shares of WaFd stock issued to LBC shareholders and the closing share price on the Merger Date as shown in the following table (amounts in thousands except share and per share data).


Number of WaFd common shares issued to LBC Shareholders	17,088,886
WaFd market price per share on February 29, 2024	$	27.24
Purchase price of share issued to LBC shareholders	$	465,501,255
Cash in lieu of fractional shares	$	3,062
Total purchase price	$	465,504,317

The following table depicts the preliminary purchase price allocation as of February 29, 2024 (in thousands):


Total purchase price			$	465,504
Fair value of assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	627,403
Available-for-sale securities	516,308
Held-to-maturity securities	2,570
Loans receivable	3,205,350
Loans held for sale	2,993,223
Interest receivable	25,697
Premises and equipment	6,436
FHLB stock	35,831
Bank owned life insurance	17,781
Federal and state income tax assets, net	132,837
Other assets	112,907
Total assets acquired	$	7,676,343
Fair value of liabilities assumed:
Customer deposits	$	5,640,440
FHLB and FRB advances	1,432,138
Junior subordinated deferrable debentures	50,175
Senior debt	93,514
Accrued expenses and other liabilities	100,408
Total liabilities assumed	$	7,316,675
Net assets acquired			$	359,668
Preliminary goodwill			$	105,836

As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, WaFd has completed the preliminary valuation analysis and calculations necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair value of LBC’s assets acquired or liabilities assumed for acquisition accounting purposes. These estimates were recorded based on initial valuations available at the Merger Date, and these estimates, including initial accounting for deferred taxes, are subject to adjustment for up to one year after the Merger Date. In many cases, the determination of fair value required management to make estimates about discount rates, expected future cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and subject to change. While the Company believes that the information available on the Merger Date provided a reasonable basis for estimating fair value, additional information may be obtained during the measurement period that would result in changes to the estimated fair value amounts. The measurement period ends on the earlier of one year after the Merger Date or the date the Company concludes that all necessary information about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the Merger Date have been obtained. Management anticipates that facts obtained during the measurement period could result in adjustments to the Merger Date valuation amounts presented herein. Final adjustments may differ from the amounts reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information, and the differences may be material.

Any changes in the fair values of the net assets as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma financial information may change the amount of the total purchase price allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the combined company’s statement of income. The final purchase price allocation may be materially different than the preliminary purchase price allocation presented in the unaudited pro forma financial information.
