Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters in this Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements relate to our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance or business.  Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact, are based on certain assumptions and are generally identified by use of the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “targets,” “potentially,” “probably,” “projects,” “outlook” or similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would” and “could.” Forward-looking statements include statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, assumptions and statements about future economic performance and projections of financial items. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or implied by our forward looking statements, including, but not limited to: potential adverse impacts to economic conditions in our local market areas, other markets where the Company has lending relationships, or other aspects of the Company’s business operations or financial markets, generally, resulting from the ongoing novel coronavirus of 2019 (COVID-19) and any governmental or societal responses thereto; the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses and provisions for credit losses; the ability to manage loan delinquency rates; competitive pressures among financial services companies; changes in consumer spending or borrowing and spending habits; interest rate movements generally and the relative differences between short and long-term interest rates, loan and deposit interest rates, net interest margin and funding sources; uncertainty regarding the future of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), and the transition away from LIBOR toward new interest rate benchmarks; the impact of repricing and competitors’ pricing initiatives on loan and deposit products; fluctuations in the demand for loans, the number of unsold homes, land and other properties and fluctuations in real estate values; the ability to adapt successfully to technological changes to meet clients’ needs and developments in the marketplace; the ability to access cost-effective funding; the ability to control operating costs and expenses; including the costs associated with our “Banner Forward” initiative; the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain assets and liabilities, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in significant changes in valuation; staffing fluctuations in response to product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect employees, and potential associated charges; disruptions, security breaches or other adverse events, failures or interruptions in, or attacks on, information technology systems or on the third-party vendors who perform critical processing functions; changes in financial markets; changes in economic conditions in general and in Washington, Idaho, Oregon and California in particular, including as a result of employment levels and labor shortages, and the effects of inflation, a potential recession or slowed economic growth caused by increasing oil prices and supply chain disruptions; secondary market conditions for loans and the ability to sell loans in the secondary market; the costs, effects and outcomes of litigation; legislation or regulatory changes or reforms, including changes in regulatory policies and principles, or the interpretation of regulatory capital or other rules, results of safety and soundness and compliance examinations by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the FDIC), the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Banks, (the Washington DFI) or other regulatory authorities, including the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, require restitution or institute an informal or formal enforcement action which could require an increase in reserves for loan losses, write-downs of assets or changes in regulatory capital position, or affect the ability to borrow funds, or maintain or increase deposits, or impose additional requirements and restrictions, any of which could adversely affect liquidity and earnings; the availability of resources to address changes in laws, rules, or regulations or to respond to regulatory actions; adverse changes in the securities markets; the inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations; changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, including additional guidance and interpretation on accounting issues and details of the implementation of new accounting methods; the economic impact of war or any terrorist activities; other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological factors affecting operations, pricing, products and services; future acquisitions by Banner of other depository institutions or lines of business; and future goodwill impairment due to changes in Banner’s business, changes in market conditions, and other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including this report on Form 10-Q.  Any forward-looking statements are based upon management’s beliefs and assumptions at the time they are made.  We do not undertake and specifically disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements included in this report or the reasons why actual results could differ from those contained in such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  These risks could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements by, or on behalf of, us. Further, many of these risks and uncertainties are currently amplified by and may continue to be amplified by or may, in the future, be amplified by, the COVID-19 pandemic.  In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking statements discussed in this report might not occur, and you should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

As used throughout this report, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company” refer to Banner Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.  All references to “Banner” refer to Banner Corporation and those to “the Bank” refer to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Banner Bank.

SELECTED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Banner Corporation (the Company or Banner), a bank holding company incorporated in the State of Washington and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Banner Bank (the Bank).

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2022 for potential recognition or disclosure. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Certain information and note disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and the accounting standards for interim financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2021 Consolidated Financial Statements and/or schedules to conform to the 2022 presentation. These reclassifications may have affected certain ratios for the prior periods. The effect of these reclassifications is considered immaterial. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. Various elements of the Company’s accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. In particular, management has identified several accounting policies that, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of Banner’s consolidated financial statements.  These policies relate to (i) the methodology for the recognition of interest income, (ii) determination of the provision and allowance for credit losses, (iii) the valuation of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, (iv) the valuation of intangible assets, such as goodwill, core deposit intangibles (CDI) and loan servicing rights, (v) the valuation of real estate held for sale, (vi) the valuation or recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities, (vii) the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations and subsequent recognition of related income and expense and (viii) the determination of estimated losses from legal proceedings and other contingent matters pending. These policies and judgments, estimates and assumptions are described in greater detail in subsequent notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Critical Accounting Policies) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC (2021 Form 10-K).  There have been no significant changes in our application of these accounting policies during the first six months of 2022.

The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our 2021 Form 10-K.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period.

Note 2:  ACCOUNTING STANDARDS RECENTLY ISSUED OR ADOPTED

Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance within Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, in response to the scheduled discontinuation of LIBOR on December 31, 2021. The amendments in this ASU provide optional guidance designed to provide relief from the accounting analysis and impacts that may otherwise be required for modifications to agreements (e.g., loans, debt securities, derivatives, borrowings) necessitated by reference rate reform. Since the issuance of this guidance, the publication cessation of U.S. dollar LIBOR has been extended to June 30, 2023.

The following optional expedients for applying the requirements of certain Topics or Industry Subtopics in the Codification are permitted for contracts that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance: 1) modifications of contracts within the scope of Topics 310, Receivables, and 470, Debt, should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate; 2) modifications of contracts within the scope of Topic 842, Leases, should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing contracts with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required under this Topic for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts; 3) modifications of contracts do not require an entity to reassess its original conclusion about whether that contract contains an embedded derivative that is clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract under Subtopic 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging- Embedded Derivatives; and 4) for other Topics or Industry Subtopics in the Codification, the amendments in this ASU also include a general principle that permits an entity to consider contract modifications due to reference rate reform to be an event that does not require contract remeasurement at the modification date or reassessment of a previous accounting determination.

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. This ASU clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The ASU also amends the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition.

The amendments in these ASUs are effective upon the issuance date of March 12, 2020 and applies to contract modifications made and new hedging relationships entered into through December 31, 2022. The Company has elected certain expedients related to individual hedge relationships. The Company will be able to use other expedients in this guidance to manage through the transition away from LIBOR, specifically as they relate to loans, leases and hedging relationships. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)

In March 2022, the FASB issued guidance within ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU eliminate the current troubled debt restructuring (TDR) recognition and measurement guidance and, instead, require that a creditor evaluate (consistent with the accounting for other loan modifications) whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The amendments also introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

These amendments require vintage disclosures including current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables. Gross write-off information must be included in the vintage disclosures in accordance with ASC 326-20-50-6, which requires disclosure of the amortized cost basis of financing receivables by credit quality indicator and class of financing receivable by year of origination.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years since the Company previously adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13, which is commonly referred to as the current expected credit loss methodology, on January 1, 2020. These amendments should be applied prospectively, though for the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, an entity has the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption.

Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. An entity may elect to early adopt the amendments about TDRs and related disclosure enhancements separately from the amendments related to the vintage disclosures. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)

In June 2022, the FASB issued guidance within ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The amendments in this ASU affect all entities that have investments in equity securities measured at fair value that are subject to a contractual sale restriction. These amendments clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value.

13

The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accrued interest receivable on securities is reported in accrued interest receivable on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and is excluded from the calculation of the allowance for credit losses.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the gross unrealized losses and the fair value for securities available-for-sale aggregated by the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position were as follows (in thousands):

At June 30, 2022, there were 263 securities—available-for-sale with unrealized losses, compared to 97 at December 31, 2021.  Management does not believe that any individual unrealized loss as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021 resulted from credit loss.  The decline in fair market value of these securities was generally due to changes in interest rates and changes in market-desired spreads subsequent to their purchase.

There were no sales of securities—trading during the six months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021. There were no securities—trading in a nonaccrual status at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.  Net unrealized holding gains of $905,000 were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $117,000 of net unrealized holding gains recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The Company monitors the credit quality of held-to-maturity debt securities through the use of credit ratings which are reviewed and updated quarterly. The Company’s non-rated held-to-maturity debt securities are primarily United States government sponsored enterprise debentures carrying minimal to no credit risk. The non-rated corporate bonds primarily consist of Community Reinvestment Act related bonds secured by loan instruments from low to moderate income borrowers. The remaining non-rated held-to-maturity debt securities balance is comprised of local municipal debt from within the Company’s geographic footprint and is monitored through quarterly or annual financial review. This municipal debt is predominately essential service or unlimited general obligation backed debt. The following tables summarize the amortized cost of held-to-maturity debt securities by credit rating at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

Note 4: LOANS RECEIVABLE AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES - LOANS

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company changed the segmentation of its Small Balance CRE loan category based on the common risk characteristics used to measure the allowance for credit losses. The presentation of loans receivable at December 31, 2021 has been updated to match the segmentation used in the current period presentation. The following table presents the loans receivable at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 by class (dollars in thousands).

Less allowance for credit losses – loans	(128,702)				(132,099)
Net loans	$	9,328,127			$	8,952,664

(1)    Includes $30.7 million and $132.6 million of U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

(2)    Includes $356,000 of SBA PPP loans as of June 30, 2022 and $1.4 million as of December 31, 2021.

Loan amounts are net of unearned loan fees in excess of unamortized costs of $8.2 million as of June 30, 2022 and $8.6 million as of December 31, 2021. Net loans include net discounts on acquired loans of $7.7 million and $9.7 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Net loans does not include accrued interest receivable. Accrued interest receivable on loans was $30.0 million as of June 30, 2022 and $29.2 million as of December 31, 2021 and was reported in accrued interest receivable on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Purchased credit-deteriorated and purchased non-credit-deteriorated loans. Loans acquired in business combinations are recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date. Acquired loans are evaluated upon acquisition and classified as either purchased credit-deteriorated (PCD) or purchased non-credit-deteriorated. There were no PCD loans acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Troubled Debt Restructurings. Loans are reported as troubled debt restructures (TDRs) when the bank grants one or more concessions to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties that it would not otherwise consider.  Our TDRs have generally not involved forgiveness of amounts due, but almost always include a modification of multiple factors; the most common combination includes interest rate, payment amount and maturity date.

The Company had $4.4 million and $5.5 million of TDRs as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no commitments to advance additional funds related to TDRs.

There were no new TDRs that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2022 or June 30, 2021.

There were no TDRs which incurred a payment default within 12 months of the restructure date during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. A default on a TDR results in either a transfer to nonaccrual status or a partial charge-off, or both.

Credit Quality Indicators:  To appropriately and effectively manage the ongoing credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management has implemented a risk-rating or loan grading system for its loans.  The system is a tool to evaluate portfolio asset quality throughout each applicable loan’s life as an asset of the Company.  Generally, loans are risk rated on an aggregate borrower/relationship basis with individual loans sharing similar ratings.  There are some instances when specific situations relating to individual loans will provide the basis for different risk ratings within the aggregate relationship.  Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 9.  A description of the general characteristics of these categories is shown below:

Overall Risk Rating Definitions:  Risk-ratings contain both qualitative and quantitative measurements and take into account the financial strength of a borrower and the structure of the loan or lease.  Consequently, the definitions are to be applied in the context of each lending transaction and judgment must also be used to determine the appropriate risk rating, as it is not unusual for a loan or lease to exhibit characteristics of more than one risk-rating category.  Consideration for the final rating is centered in the borrower’s ability to repay, in a timely fashion, both principal and interest.  The Company’s risk-rating and loan grading policies are reviewed and approved annually. There were no material changes in the risk-rating or loan grading system for the periods presented.

Risk Ratings 1-5: Pass

Credits with risk ratings of 1 to 5 meet the definition of a pass risk rating. The strength of credits vary within the pass risk ratings, ranging from a risk rated 1 being an exceptional credit to a risk rated 5 being an acceptable credit that requires a more than normal level of supervision.

Risk Rating 6: Special Mention

A credit with potential weaknesses that deserves management’s close attention is risk rated a 6.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses will result in deterioration in the capacity to repay debt.  A key distinction between Special Mention and Substandard is that in a Special Mention credit, there are identified weaknesses that pose potential risk(s) to the repayment sources, versus well defined weaknesses that pose risk(s) to the repayment sources.  Assets in this category are expected to be in this category no more than 9-12 months as the potential weaknesses in the credit are resolved.

Risk Rating 7: Substandard

A credit with well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the ability to repay in full is risk rated a 7.  These credits are inadequately protected by either the sound net worth and payment capacity of the borrower or the value of pledged collateral.  These are credits with a distinct possibility of loss.  Loans headed for foreclosure and/or legal action due to deterioration are rated 7 or worse.

Risk Rating 8: Doubtful

A credit with an extremely high probability of loss is risk rated 8.  These credits have all the same critical weaknesses that are found in a substandard loan; however, the weaknesses are elevated to the point that based upon current information, collection or liquidation in full is improbable.  While some loss on doubtful credits is expected, pending events may make the amount and timing of any loss indeterminable.  In these situations taking the loss is inappropriate until the outcome of the pending event is clear.

Risk Rating 9: Loss

A credit that is considered to be currently uncollectible or of such little value that it is no longer a viable bank asset is risk rated 9.  Losses should be taken in the accounting period in which the credit is determined to be uncollectible.  Taking a loss does not mean that a credit has absolutely no recovery or salvage value but, rather, it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the credit, even though partial recovery may occur in the future.

Note 5:  REAL ESTATE OWNED, NET

The following table presents the changes in REO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021

Gain on sale of REO	168		—		352		307
Balance, end of the period	$	340	$	763	$	340	$	763

REO properties are recorded at the estimated fair value of the property, less expected selling costs, establishing a new cost basis.  Subsequently, REO properties are carried at the lower of the new cost basis or updated fair market values, based on updated appraisals of the underlying properties, as received.  Valuation allowances on the carrying value of REO may be recognized based on updated appraisals or on management’s authorization to reduce the selling price of a property. The Company had no foreclosed one- to four-family residential real estate properties held as REO at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company had $667,000 and $609,000 of one- to four-family residential loans in the process of foreclosure at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Note 6:  GOODWILL, OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:  At June 30, 2022, intangible assets are comprised of goodwill and CDI acquired in business combinations. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration paid over the fair value of the assets acquired, net of the fair values of liabilities assumed in a business combination, and is not amortized but is reviewed at least annually for impairment. Banner has identified one reporting unit for purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment. The Company completed an assessment of qualitative factors as of December 31, 2021 and concluded that no further analysis was required as it is more likely than not that the fair value of Banner Bank, the reporting unit, exceeds the carrying value.

CDI represents the value of transaction-related deposits and the value of the client relationships associated with the deposits. The Company amortizes CDI assets over their estimated useful lives and reviews them at least annually for events or circumstances that could impair their value. 

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s goodwill and other intangibles for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

Mortgage Servicing Rights:  Mortgage and SBA servicing rights are reported in other assets.  SBA servicing rights are initially recorded and carried at fair value. Mortgage servicing rights are initially recognized at fair value and are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets.  Mortgage servicing rights are subsequently evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights compared to the amortized cost (remaining unamortized initial fair value).  If the fair value is less than the amortized cost, a valuation allowance is created through an impairment charge to servicing fee income.  However, if the fair value is greater than the amortized cost, the amount above the amortized cost is not recognized in the carrying value.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record any impairment charges or recoveries against mortgage servicing rights. The unpaid principal balance of loans for which mortgage and SBA servicing rights have been recognized totaled $2.83 billion and $2.77 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.  Custodial accounts maintained in connection with this servicing totaled $18.5 million and $3.2 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company measures and discloses certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale). GAAP establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. Among other things, accounting standards require us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s estimates for market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. An active market is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.

•Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 including quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, quoted prices in less active markets for identical or similar instruments, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.

•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity for financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation; also includes observable inputs from non-binding single dealer quotes not corroborated by observable market data. In developing Level 3 measurements, management incorporates whatever market data

40

might be available and uses discounted cash flow models where appropriate. These calculations include projections of future cash flows, including appropriate default and loss assumptions, and market-based discount rates

The estimated fair value amounts of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize at a future date. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. In addition, reasonable comparability between financial institutions may not be likely due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates that must be made given the absence of active secondary markets for many of the financial instruments. This lack of uniform valuation methodologies also introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair values. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to occur at the end of the reporting period.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

The following tables present financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy of the fair value measurements for those assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

(1)    The unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans held for sale carried at fair value was $9.9 million and $38.6 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments above:

Securities:  The estimated fair values of investment securities and mortgaged-backed securities are priced using current active market quotes, if available, which are considered Level 1 measurements.  For most of the portfolio, matrix pricing based on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices is used to establish the fair value.  These measurements are considered Level 2.  Due to the continued limited activity in the trust preferred markets that have limited the observability of market spreads for some of the Company’s TPS securities, management has classified these securities as a Level 3 fair value measure. Management periodically reviews the pricing information received from third-party pricing services and tests those prices against other sources to validate the reported fair values.

Loans Held for Sale: Fair values for residential mortgage loans held for sale are determined by comparing actual loan rates to current secondary market prices for similar loans.

Equity Securities: Equity securities at June 30, 2022 are invested in a publicly traded stock. The fair value of these securities are based on daily quoted market prices.

Mortgage Servicing Rights: Fair values are estimated based on an independent dealer analysis of discounted cash flows.  The evaluation utilizes assumptions market participants would use in determining fair value including prepayment speeds, delinquency and foreclosure rates, the discount rate, servicing costs, and the timing of cash flows.  The mortgage servicing portfolio is stratified by loan type and fair value estimates are adjusted up or down based on the serviced loan interest rates versus current rates on new loan originations since the most recent independent analysis.

SBA Servicing Rights: Fair values are estimated based on an independent dealer analysis by discounting estimated net future cash flows from servicing. The evaluation utilizes assumptions market participants would use in determining fair value including prepayment speeds, delinquency and foreclosure rates, the discount rate, servicing costs, and the timing of cash flows.  The SBA servicing portfolio is stratified by

42

loan type and fair value estimates are adjusted up or down based on the serviced loan interest rates versus current rates on new loan originations since the most recent independent analysis.

Junior Subordinated Debentures:  The fair value of junior subordinated debentures is estimated using an income approach technique. The significant inputs included in the estimation of fair value are the credit risk adjusted spread and three month LIBOR. The credit risk adjusted spread represents the nonperformance risk of the liability. The Company utilizes an external valuation firm to validate the reasonableness of the credit risk adjusted spread used to determine the fair value. The junior subordinated debentures are carried at fair value which represents the estimated amount that would be paid to transfer these liabilities in an orderly transaction amongst market participants. Due to inactivity in the trust preferred markets that have limited the observability of market spreads, management has classified this as a Level 3 fair value measure.

Derivatives: Derivatives include interest rate swap agreements, interest rate lock commitments to originate loans held for sale and forward sales contracts to sell loans and securities related to mortgage banking activities. Fair values for these instruments, which generally change as a result of changes in the level of market interest rates, are estimated based on dealer quotes and secondary market sources.

Off-Balance Sheet Items: Off-balance sheet financial instruments include unfunded commitments to extend credit, including standby letters of credit, and commitments to purchase investment securities. The fair value of these instruments is not considered to be material.

Limitations: The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.  The factors used in the fair value estimates are subject to change subsequent to the dates the fair value estimates are completed, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3):

The following table provides a description of the valuation technique, unobservable inputs, and quantitative and qualitative information about the unobservable inputs for the Company’s assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 and measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

			Weighted Average Rate / Range
Financial Instruments	Valuation Technique	Unobservable Inputs	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Corporate bonds (TPS securities)	Discounted cash flows	Discount rate	5.79	%	3.71	%
Junior subordinated debentures	Discounted cash flows	Discount rate	5.79	%	3.71	%
Loans individually evaluated	Collateral valuations	Discount to appraised value	9.5%		8.5% to 20.0%
REO	Appraisals	Discount to appraised value	68.35	%	60.91	%
Interest rate lock commitments	Pricing model	Pull-through rate	88.95	%	86.64	%
Investments in limited partnerships	Net Asset Value	Infrequent transactions	n/a		n/a
SBA servicing rights	Discounted cash flows	Constant prepayment rate	16.16%		12.25%

TPS Securities: Management believes that the credit risk-adjusted spread used to develop the discount rate utilized in the fair value measurement of TPS securities is indicative of the risk premium a willing market participant would require under current market conditions for instruments with similar contractual rates and terms and conditions and issuers with similar credit risk profiles and with similar expected probability of default. Management attributes the change in fair value of these instruments, compared to their par value, primarily to perceived general market adjustments to the risk premiums for these types of assets subsequent to their issuance.

Junior subordinated debentures: Similar to the TPS securities discussed above, management believes that the credit risk-adjusted spread utilized in the fair value measurement of the junior subordinated debentures is indicative of the risk premium a willing market participant would require under current market conditions for an issuer with Banner’s credit risk profile. Management attributes the change in fair value of the junior subordinated debentures, compared to their par value, primarily to perceived general market adjustments to the risk premiums for these types of liabilities subsequent to their issuance. Future contractions in the risk adjusted spread relative to the spread currently utilized to measure the Company’s junior subordinated debentures at fair value as of June 30, 2022, or the passage of time, will result in negative fair value adjustments. At June 30, 2022, the discount rate utilized was based on a credit spread of 350 basis points and three-month LIBOR of 229 basis points.

Interest rate lock commitments: The fair value of the interest rate lock commitments is based on secondary market sources adjusted for an estimated pull-through rate. The pull-through rate is based on historical loan closing rates for similar interest rate lock commitments. An increase or decrease in the pull-through rate would have a corresponding, positive or negative fair value adjustment.

SBA servicing asset: The constant prepayment rate (CPR) is set based on industry data. An increase in the CPR would result in a negative fair value adjustment, where a decrease in CPR would result in a positive fair value adjustment.

Interest income and dividends from the TPS securities are recorded as a component of interest income. Interest expense related to the junior subordinated debentures is measured based on contractual interest rates and reported in interest expense.  The change in fair value of the

44

junior subordinated debentures, which represents changes in instrument specific credit risk, is recorded in other comprehensive income. The change in fair value of the investment in limited partnerships and the SBA servicing asset are recorded as a component of non-interest income.

Loans individually evaluated: Expected credit losses for loans evaluated individually are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate or when the Bank determines that foreclosure is probable, the expected credit loss is measured based on the fair value of the collateral as of the reporting date, less estimated selling costs, as applicable. As a practical expedient, the Bank measures the expected credit loss for a loan using the fair value of the collateral, if repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty based on the Bank’s assessment as of the reporting date. In both cases, if the fair value of the collateral is less than the amortized cost basis of the loan, the Bank will recognize an allowance as the difference between the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell (if applicable) at the reporting date and the amortized cost basis of the loan. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost basis of the loan, any expected recovery added to the amortized cost basis will be limited to the amount previously charged-off by the subsequent changes in the expected credit losses for loans evaluated individually are included within the provision for credit losses in the same manner in which the expected credit loss initially was recognized or as a reduction in the provision that would otherwise be reported.

REO: The Company records REO (acquired through a lending relationship) at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Fair value adjustments on REO are based on updated real estate appraisals which are based on current market conditions. All REO properties are recorded at the lower of the estimated fair value of the real estate, less expected selling costs, or the carrying amount of the defaulted loans. From time to time, non-recurring fair value adjustments to REO are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on an observable market price or current appraised value of property. Banner considers any valuation inputs related to REO to be Level 3 inputs. The individual carrying values of these assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually and any additional impairment charges are expensed to operations.

Loans held for sale: The multifamily held for sale loans are carried at the lower of cost or market. Lower of cost or market adjustments for multifamily loans held for sale are calculated based on discounted cash flows using a discount rate that is a combination of market spreads for similar loan types added to selected index rates. If the fair value of the multifamily held for sale loans is lower than the amortized cost basis of the loans, a net unrealized loss is recognized through the valuation allowance by charges to income.

Note 9:  INCOME TAXES AND DEFERRED TAXES

The Company files a consolidated income tax return including all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries on a calendar year basis. Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities are expected to be reported in the Company’s income tax returns. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period of change. A valuation allowance is recognized as a reduction to deferred tax assets when management determines it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be available to offset future income tax liabilities.

Accounting standards for income taxes prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provide guidance on the de-recognition of previously recorded benefits and their classification, as well as the proper recording of interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transition. The Company periodically reviews its income tax positions based on tax laws and regulations and financial reporting considerations, and records adjustments as appropriate. This review takes into consideration the status of current taxing authorities’ examinations of the Company’s tax returns, recent positions taken by the taxing authorities on similar transactions, if any, and the overall tax environment.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has recognized $1.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions. The Company does not anticipate that there are additional uncertain tax positions or that any uncertain tax position which has not been recognized would materially affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax expense. The Company files consolidated income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in the Oregon, California, Utah, Idaho and Montana state jurisdictions.

Tax credit investments: The Company invests in low income housing tax credit funds that are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of federal tax credits. The Company accounts for these investments by amortizing the cost of tax credit investments over the life of the investment using a proportional amortization method and tax credit investment amortization expense is a component of the provision for income taxes.

Note 11:  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company operates the following stock-based compensation plans as approved by its shareholders:

•2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the 2014 Plan).

•2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the 2018 Plan).

The purpose of these plans is to promote the success and enhance the value of the Company by providing a means for attracting and retaining highly skilled employees, officers and directors of Banner Corporation and its affiliates and linking their personal interests with those of the Company’s shareholders. Under these plans the Company currently has outstanding restricted stock share grants and restricted stock unit grants.

2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan

The 2014 Plan was approved by shareholders on April 22, 2014. The 2014 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, other stock-based awards and other cash awards, and provides for vesting requirements which may include time-based or performance-based conditions. The Company reserved 900,000 shares of its common stock for issuance under the 2014 Plan in connection with the exercise of awards. As of June 30, 2022, 303,806 restricted stock shares and 419,387 restricted stock units have been granted under the 2014 Plan of which 1,552 restricted stock shares and 21,807 restricted stock units are unvested.

2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan

The 2018 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, other stock-based awards and other cash awards, and provides for vesting requirements which may include time-based or performance-based conditions. The Company reserved 900,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2018 Plan in connection with the exercise of awards. As of June 30, 2022, 565,123 restricted stock units have been granted under the 2018 Plan of which 367,221 restricted stock units are unvested.

The expense associated with all restricted stock grants (including restricted stock shares and restricted stock units) was $2.3 million and $4.3 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and was $2.5 million and $4.7 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense for these awards as of June 30, 2022 was $15.3 million and will be amortized over the next 33 months.

Note 12:  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk — The Company has financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk generated in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our clients.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commitments related to standby letters of credit, commitments to originate loans, commitments to sell loans, commitments to buy and sell securities.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk similar to the risk involved in on-balance-sheet items recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument from commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments.  We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as for on-balance-sheet instruments.

47

Outstanding commitments for which no asset or liability for the notional amount has been recorded consisted of the following at the dates indicated (in thousands):

	Contract or Notional Amount
	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Commitments to extend credit	$	3,978,288	$	3,527,143
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees	35,579		21,830
Commitments to originate loans	242,651		106,609
Risk participation agreements	53,159		40,064
Derivatives also included in Note 13:
Commitments to originate loans held for sale	34,791		106,590
Commitments to sell loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties	6,775		27,006
Commitments to sell securities related to mortgage banking activities	40,000		127,580

In addition to the commitments disclosed in the table above, the Company is committed to funding its’ unfunded tax credit investments (see Note 9, Income Taxes). The Company has also entered into agreements to invest in several limited partnerships. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the funded balances and remaining outstanding commitments of these investments were as follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
	Funded Balance		Unfunded Balance		Funded Balance		Unfunded Balance
Limited partnerships investments	$	8,738	$	10,762	$	7,642	$	9,858

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client, as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Many of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each client’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the client. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income producing commercial properties. The Company’s allowance for credit losses - unfunded loan commitments at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $14.2 million and $12.4 million, respectively.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee a client’s performance or payment to a third party.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to clients. Under a risk participation agreement, Banner Bank guarantees the financial performance of a borrower on the participated portion of an interest rate swap on a loan.

Interest rates on residential one- to four-family mortgage loan applications are typically rate locked (committed) to clients during the application stage for periods ranging from 30 to 60 days, the most typical period being 45 days. Traditionally, these loan applications with rate lock commitments had the pricing for the sale of these loans locked with various qualified investors under a best-efforts delivery program at or near the time the interest rate is locked with the client. Banner Bank then attempts to deliver these loans before their rate locks expired. This arrangement generally required delivery of the loans prior to the expiration of the rate lock. Delays in funding the loans would require a lock extension. The cost of a lock extension at times was borne by the client and at times by Banner Bank. These lock extension costs have not had a material impact to the Company’s operations. For mandatory delivery commitments the Company enters into forward commitments at specific prices and settlement dates to deliver either: (1) residential mortgage loans for purchase by secondary market investors (i.e., Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae), or (2) mortgage-backed securities to broker/dealers. The purpose of these forward commitments is to offset the movement in interest rates between the execution of its residential mortgage rate lock commitments with borrowers and the sale of those loans to the secondary market investor. There were no counterparty default losses on forward contracts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 or June 30, 2021. Market risk with respect to forward contracts arises principally from changes in the value of contractual positions due to changes in interest rates. The Company limits its exposure to market risk by monitoring differences between commitments to clients and forward contracts with market investors and securities broker/dealers. In the event the Company has forward delivery contract commitments in excess of available mortgage loans, the transaction is completed by either paying or receiving a fee to or from the investor or broker/dealer equal to the increase or decrease in the market value of the forward contract.

In the normal course of business, the Company and/or its subsidiaries have various legal proceedings and other contingent matters outstanding.  These proceedings and the associated legal claims are often contested and the outcome of individual matters is not always predictable.  These claims and counter-claims typically arise during the course of collection efforts on problem loans or with respect to action to enforce liens on properties in which the Bank holds a security interest.  Based upon the information known to management at this time, the Company and the Bank are not a party to any legal proceedings that management believes would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or consolidated financial position at June 30, 2022.

48

In connection with certain asset sales, the Bank typically makes representations and warranties about the underlying assets conforming to specified guidelines.  If the underlying assets do not conform to the specifications, the Bank may have an obligation to repurchase the assets or indemnify the purchaser against any loss.  The Bank believes that the potential for material loss under these arrangements is remote.  Accordingly, the fair value of such obligations is not material.

NOTE 13: DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

The Company, through its Banner Bank subsidiary, is party to various derivative instruments that are used for asset and liability management and client financing needs. Derivative instruments are contracts between two or more parties that have a notional amount and an underlying variable, require no net investment and allow for the net settlement of positions. The notional amount serves as the basis for the payment provision of the contract and takes the form of units, such as shares or dollars. The underlying variable represents a specified interest rate, index, or other component. The interaction between the notional amount and the underlying variable determines the number of units to be exchanged between the parties and influences the market value of the derivative contract. The Company obtains dealer quotations to value its derivative contracts.

The Company’s predominant derivative and hedging activities involve interest rate swaps related to certain term loans and forward sales contracts associated with mortgage banking activities. Generally, these instruments help the Company manage exposure to market risk and meet client financing needs. Market risk represents the possibility that economic value or net interest income will be adversely affected by fluctuations in external factors such as market-driven interest rates and prices or other economic factors.

Derivatives Designated in Hedge Relationships

Interest Rate Swaps with Dealer Counterparties: The Company’s fixed-rate loans result in exposure to losses in value or net interest income as interest rates change. The risk management objective for hedging fixed-rate loans is to effectively convert the fixed-rate received to a floating rate. The Company has hedged exposure to changes in the fair value of certain fixed-rate loans through the use of interest rate swaps. For a qualifying fair value hedge, changes in the value of the derivatives are recognized in current period earnings along with the corresponding changes in the fair value of the designated hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged.

Under a prior program, clients received fixed interest rate commercial loans and Banner Bank subsequently hedged that fixed-rate loan by entering into an interest rate swap with a dealer counterparty. Banner Bank receives fixed-rate payments from the clients on the loans and makes similar fixed-rate payments to the dealer counterparty on the swaps in exchange for variable-rate payments based on the one-month LIBOR index. Some of these interest rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges. Through application of the “short cut method of accounting,” there is an assumption that the hedges are effective. Banner Bank discontinued originating interest rate swaps under this program in 2008.

Interest Rate Swaps used in Cash Flow Hedges:

The Company’s floating rate loans result in exposure to losses in value or net interest income as interest rates change. The risk management objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to reduce volatility in net interest income and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company entered into interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing floating rate loans. These hedge contracts involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making floating-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the unrealized gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and subsequently reclassified into interest income in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income as interest payments are made on the Corporation’s variable-rate assets. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $8.8 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest income.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the notional values or contractual amounts and fair values of the Company’s derivatives designated in hedge relationships were as follows (in thousands):

	Asset Derivatives								Liability Derivatives

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 we had recorded total net unrealized losses on cash flow hedges in AOCI, net of taxes of $15.1 million and $958,000, respectively.

Derivatives Not Designated in Hedge Relationships

Interest Rate Swaps: Banner Bank uses an interest rate swap program for commercial loan clients, that provides the client with a variable-rate loan and enters into an interest rate swap in which the client receives a variable-rate payment in exchange for a fixed-rate payment. The Bank offsets its risk exposure by entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with a dealer counterparty for the same notional amount and length of term as the client interest rate swap providing the dealer counterparty with a fixed-rate payment in exchange for a variable-rate payment. These swaps do not qualify as designated hedges; therefore, each swap is accounted for as a freestanding derivative.

Risk Participation Agreements: In conjunction with the purchase or sale of participating interests in loans, the Company also participates in related swaps through risk participation agreements. The existing credit derivatives resulting from these participations are not designated as hedges as they are not used to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s assets or liabilities and are not speculative.

Mortgage Banking: The Company sells originated one- to four-family mortgage loans into the secondary mortgage loan markets. During the period of loan origination and prior to the sale of the loans in the secondary market, the Company has exposure to movements in interest rates associated with written interest rate lock commitments with potential borrowers to originate one- to four-family loans that are intended to be sold and for closed one- to four-family mortgage loans held for sale for which fair value accounting has been elected, that are awaiting sale and delivery into the secondary market. The Company economically hedges the risk of changing interest rates associated with these mortgage loan commitments by entering into forward sales contracts to sell one- to four-family mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities to broker/dealers at specific prices and dates.

(2)Included in Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Gains (losses) recognized in income on non-designated hedging instruments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (in thousands):

	Location on Consolidated Statements of Operations	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
		2022		2021		2022		2021

		$	(398)	$	(2,235)	$	(1,111)	$	(1,507)

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to these agreements. Credit risk of the financial contract is controlled through the credit approval, limits, and monitoring procedures and management does not expect the counterparties to fail their obligations.

In connection with the interest rate swaps between Banner Bank and the dealer counterparties, the agreements contain a provision where if Banner Bank fails to maintain its status as a well/adequately capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and Banner Bank would be required to settle its obligations. Similarly, Banner Bank could be required to settle its obligations under certain of its agreements if specific regulatory events occur, such as a publicly issued prompt corrective action directive, cease and desist order, or a capital maintenance agreement that required Banner Bank to maintain a specific capital level. If Banner Bank had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the termination value of derivatives in a net liability position related to these agreements was $8,000 and $24.9 million, respectively. The Company generally posts collateral against derivative liabilities in the form of cash, government agency-issued bonds, mortgage-backed securities, or commercial mortgage-backed securities. Collateral posted against derivative liabilities was $26.0 million and $45.8 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Derivative assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet. Master netting agreements allow the Company to settle all derivative contracts held with a single counterparty on a net basis and to offset net derivative positions with related collateral where applicable. In addition, some of interest rate swap derivatives between Banner Bank and the dealer counterparties are cleared through central clearing houses. These clearing houses characterize the variation margin payments as settlements of the derivative’s market exposure and not as collateral. The variation margin is treated as an adjustment to our cash collateral, as well as a corresponding adjustment to our derivative liability. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the variation margin adjustment was a negative adjustment of $8.9 million and $10.7 million, respectively.

Deposit fees and other service charges include transaction and non-transaction based deposit fees. Transaction based fees on deposit accounts are charged to deposit clients for specific services provided to the client. These fees include such items as wire fees, official check fees, and overdraft fees. These are contract specific to each individual transaction and do not extend beyond the individual transaction. The performance obligation is completed and the fees are recognized at the time the specific transactional service is provided to the client. Non-transactional deposit fees are typically monthly account maintenance fees charged on deposit accounts. These are day-to-day contracts that can be canceled by either party without notice. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are recognized on a monthly basis after the service period is completed.

Debit and credit card interchange income and expenses

Debit and credit card interchange income represent fees earned when a debit or credit card issued by the Bank is used to purchase goods or services at a merchant. The merchant’s bank pays the Bank a default interchange rate set by MasterCard on a transaction by transaction basis. The merchant acquiring bank can stop accepting the Bank’s cards at any time and the Bank can stop further use of cards issued by them at any time. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are earned when the cost of the transaction is charged to the Bank’s cardholders’ card. Direct expenses associated with the credit and debit card are recorded as a net reduction against the interchange income.

Merchant services income

Merchant services income represents fees earned by the Bank for card payment services provided to its merchant clients. The Bank has a contract with a third party to provide card payment services to the Bank’s merchants that contract for those services. The third party provider has contracts with the Bank’s merchants to provide the card payment services. The Bank does not have a direct contractual relationship with its merchants for these services. The Bank sets the rates for the services provided by the third party. The third party provider passes the payments made by the Bank’s merchants through to the Bank. The Bank, in turn, pays the third party provider for the services it provides to the Bank’s merchants. These payments to the third party provider are recorded as expenses as a net reduction against fee income. In addition, a portion of the payment received by the Bank represents interchange fees which are passed through to the card issuing bank. Income is primarily earned based on the dollar volume and number of transactions processed. The performance obligation is satisfied and the related fee is earned when each payment is accepted by the processing network.

ITEM 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The SEC’s Final Rule 33-10890, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Selected Financial Data and Supplementary Financial Information, amends certain disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K and must be applied in a registrant’s first fiscal year ending on or after August 9, 2021. The amendments to Item 303 of Regulation S-K allow registrants to compare the results of the most recently completed quarter to the results of either the immediately preceding quarter or the corresponding quarter of the preceding year. Since we are a financial institution, we believe we are not as highly subject to seasonal fluctuations as other businesses and industries. Therefore, we have elected to adopt this rule change, as management believes that comparing current quarter results to those of the immediately preceding quarter is more useful in identifying current business trends and provides a more meaningful analysis to our investors. Accordingly, we have compared the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, and, as required, we continue to compare our year-to-date results to the corresponding year-to-date results of the preceding year.

Executive Overview

We are a bank holding company incorporated in the State of Washington which owns one subsidiary bank, Banner Bank. Banner Bank is a Washington-chartered commercial bank that conducts business from its main office in Walla Walla, Washington and, as of June 30, 2022, it had 137 full service branch offices and 18 loan production offices located in Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho and Utah.  Banner Corporation is subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve.  Banner Bank is subject to regulation by the Washington DFI and the FDIC.  As of June 30, 2022, we had total consolidated assets of $16.39 billion, total loans of $9.46 billion, total deposits of $14.21 billion and total shareholders’ equity of $1.49 billion.

Banner Bank is a regional bank which offers a wide variety of commercial banking services and financial products to individuals, businesses and public sector entities in its primary market areas.  The Bank’s primary business is that of traditional banking institutions, accepting deposits and originating loans in locations surrounding their offices in Washington, Oregon, California and Idaho.  Banner Bank is also an active participant in secondary loan markets, engaging in mortgage banking operations largely through the origination and sale of one- to four-family and multifamily residential loans.  Lending activities include commercial business and commercial real estate loans, agriculture business loans, construction and land development loans, one- to four-family and multifamily residential loans, SBA loans and consumer loans.

Banner Corporation’s successful execution of its super community bank model and strategic initiatives have delivered solid core operating results and profitability over the last several years. Banner’s longer term strategic initiatives continue to focus on originating high quality assets and client acquisition, which we believe will continue to generate strong revenue while maintaining the Company’s moderate risk profile.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, our net income was $48.0 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, compared to $44.0 million, or $1.27 per diluted share, for the preceding quarter. The current quarter was positively impacted by the gain recognized on the branch sale completed during the quarter and increased interest income due to increased average yields on total interest-earning assets, partially offset by decreased mortgage banking income and the provision for credit losses.

Our adjusted earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure), which excludes net gain or loss on sales of securities, changes in the valuation of financial instruments carried at fair value, merger and acquisition-related expenses, COVID-19 expenses, Banner Forward expenses, loss on extinguishment of debt, the gain on sale of branches and related tax expenses or benefits, were $43.2 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $46.1 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, for the preceding quarter.

During the third quarter of 2021 we began implementing Banner Forward, a bank-wide initiative to drive revenue growth and reduce operating expense. Banner Forward is focused on accelerating growth in commercial banking, deepening relationships with retail clients, and advancing technology strategies to enhance our digital service channels, while streamlining underwriting and back office processes. The remaining efficiency-related initiatives associated with Banner Forward are anticipated to be implemented sequentially over the third quarter with implementation of the revenue initiatives ramping up in the second half of the year and into 2023. We expect full implementation by the end of next year. During the second quarter of 2022, we incurred expenses of $1.6 million related to Banner Forward.

Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans and investment securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, composed primarily of client deposits, FHLB advances, other borrowings, subordinated notes, and junior subordinated debentures. Net interest income is primarily a function of our interest rate spread, which is the difference between the yield earned on interest-earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as a function of the average balances of interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest-bearing funding sources including non-interest-bearing deposits. Our net interest income increased $10.4 million, or 9% to $129.0 million, compared to $118.7 million in the preceding quarter. The increased net interest income during the quarter compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to the increase in market interest rates resulting in an increase in yields on interest-earning assets, as well as loan balances making up a higher percentage of interest-earning assets and decreases in the cost of funding liabilities, partially offset by the decline in the recognition of deferred loan fee income due to loan repayments from SBA PPP loan forgiveness and a decrease in average interest-earning assets.

Our net income is also affected by the level of our non-interest income, including deposit fees and other service charges, results of mortgage banking operations, which includes gains and losses on the sale of loans and servicing fees, gains and losses on the sale of securities, as well as our non-interest expenses and provisions for credit losses and income taxes. In addition, our net income is affected by the net change in the value of certain financial instruments carried at fair value.

Our total revenues (net interest income plus total non-interest income) for the second quarter of 2022 increased 13% to $156.2 million, compared to $138.1 million in the preceding quarter, primarily due to the increase in net interest income and the gain recognized on the branch sale, partially offset by lower income from mortgage banking operations.  Our total non-interest income, which is a component of total revenue and includes the net gain on sale of securities and changes in the value of financial instruments carried at fair value, was $27.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $19.4 million in the preceding quarter, primarily due to the $7.8 million gain recognized on the branch sale completed during the quarter.

Non-interest expense was $92.1 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $91.2 million in the preceding quarter. Our non-interest expense increased in the second quarter of 2022, compared to the preceding quarter, largely as a result of increased salary and employee benefits, primarily due to normal salary and wage adjustments, payment and card processing services expenses and professional and legal

54

expenses, partially offset by increased capitalized loan origination costs, primarily due to increased loan production, and decreases in loss on extinguishment of debt and information/computer data services expense.

We recorded a $4.5 million provision for credit losses in the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to a $7.0 million recapture of provision for credit losses in the prior quarter. The provision for credit losses for the current quarter primarily reflects loan growth and, to a lesser extent, a deterioration in forecasted economic conditions. The allowance for credit losses - loans at June 30, 2022 was $128.7 million, representing 688% of non-performing loans, compared to $132.1 million, or 578% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2021. In addition to the allowance for credit losses - loans, Banner maintains an allowance for credit losses - unfunded loan commitments which was $14.2 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $12.4 million at December 31, 2021. Non-performing loans were $18.7 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $22.8 million at December 31, 2021 and $30.8 million a year earlier. (See Note 4, Loans Receivable and the Allowance for Credit Losses, as well as “Asset Quality” below in this Form 10-Q.)

*Non-GAAP financial measures: Net income, revenues and other earnings and expense information excluding fair value adjustments, net gains or losses on the sale of securities, gain on sale of branches, merger and acquisition-related expenses, loss on extinguishment of debt, COVID-19 expenses, Banner Forward expenses, amortization of CDI, REO operations, state/municipal tax expense and the related tax benefit, are non-GAAP financial measures.  Management has presented these and other non-GAAP financial measures in this discussion and analysis because it believes that they provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in our core operations and to facilitate the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers.  However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP. Where applicable, we have also presented comparable earnings information using GAAP financial measures.  For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures, see the tables below.  Because not all companies use the same calculations, our presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as calculated by other companies. See “Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 and the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021” for more detailed information about our financial performance.

The ratio of tangible common shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is also a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate tangible common equity by excluding goodwill and other intangible assets from shareholders’ equity. We calculate tangible assets by excluding the balance of goodwill and other intangible assets from total assets. We believe that this is consistent with the treatment by our bank regulatory agencies, which exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides information to investors that is useful in understanding the basis of our capital position (dollars in thousands except per share data).

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to assist in understanding our financial condition and results of operations.  The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Selected Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Various elements of our accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments.  In particular, management has identified certain accounting policies that, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of our financial statements.  Management believes the judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate based on the factual circumstances at the time.  However, given the sensitivity of the financial statements to these critical accounting policies, the use of other judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in material differences in our results of operations or financial condition.  Further, subsequent changes in economic or market conditions could have a material impact on these estimates and our financial condition and operating results in future periods.  There have been no significant changes in our application of accounting policies since December 31, 2021.  For additional information concerning critical accounting policies, see the Selected Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the following:

Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans: (Note 4) The methodology for determining the allowance for credit losses - loans is considered a critical accounting policy by management because of the high degree of judgment involved, the subjectivity of the assumptions used, and the potential for changes in the economic environment that could result in changes to the amount of the recorded allowance for credit losses. Among the material estimates required to establish the allowance for credit losses - loans are: a reasonable and supportable forecast; a reasonable and supportable forecast period and the reversion period; value of collateral; strength of guarantors; the amount and timing of future cash flows for loans individually evaluated; and determination of the qualitative loss factors. All of these estimates are susceptible to significant change. The allowance for credit losses - loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. The Bank has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis in their estimate of the allowance for credit losses. The provision for credit losses reflects the amount required to maintain the allowance for credit losses at an appropriate level based upon management’s evaluation of the adequacy of collective and individual loss reserves.  The Company has established systematic methodologies for the determination of the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for credit losses.  The methodologies are set forth in a formal policy and take into consideration the need for a valuation allowance for loans evaluated on a collective (pool) basis which have similar risk characteristics as well as allowances that are tied to individual loans that do not share risk characteristics. The Company increases its allowance for credit losses by charging provisions for credit losses on its Consolidated Statement of Operations. Losses related to specific assets are applied as a reduction of the carrying value of the assets and

57

charged against the allowance for credit loss reserve when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Recoveries on previously charged off loans are credited to the allowance for credit losses.

Management estimates the allowance for credit losses - loans using relevant information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The allowance for credit losses - loans is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for expected credit losses over the life of the loan based on evaluating historical credit loss experience and making adjustments to historical loss information for differences in the specific risk characteristics in the current loan portfolio.  These factors include, among others, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, differences in underwriting standards, delinquency rates, actual loss experience and current economic conditions.

The allowance for credit losses - loans is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. In estimating the component of the allowance for credit losses for loans that share common risk characteristics, loans are pooled based on loan type and areas of risk concentration. For loans evaluated collectively, the allowance for credit losses - loans is calculated using life of loan historical losses adjusted for economic forecasts and current conditions.

For commercial real estate, multifamily real estate, construction and land, commercial business and agricultural loans with risk rating segmentation, historical credit loss assumptions are estimated using a model that categorizes loan pools based on loan type and risk rating. For one- to four- family residential loans, consumer loans, home equity lines of credit, small business loans, and small balance commercial real estate loans, historical credit loss assumptions are estimated using a model that categorizes loan pools based on loan type and delinquency status. These models calculate an expected life-of-loan loss percentage for each loan category by calculating the probability of default, based on the migration of loans from performing to loss by risk rating or delinquency categories using historical life-of-loan analysis and the severity of loss, based on the aggregate net lifetime losses incurred for each loan pool. For credit cards, historical credit loss assumptions are estimated using a model that calculates an expected life-of-loan loss percentage for each loan category by considering the historical cumulative losses based on the aggregate net lifetime losses incurred for each loan pool. The model captures historical loss data commencing with the first quarter of 2008. For loans evaluated collectively, management uses economic indicators to adjust the historical loss rates so that they better reflect management’s expectations of future conditions over the remaining lives of the loans in the portfolio based on reasonable and supportable forecasts. These economic indicators are selected based on correlation to the Company’s historical credit loss experience and are evaluated for each loan category. The economic indicators evaluated include the unemployment rate, gross domestic product, real estate price indices and growth, industrial employment, corporate profits, the household consumer debt service ratio, the household mortgage debt service ratio, and single family median home price growth. Management considers various economic scenarios and forecasts when evaluating the economic indicators and probability weights the various scenarios to arrive at the forecast that most reflects management’s expectations of future conditions. The selection of a more optimistic or pessimistic economic forecast would result in a lower or higher allowance for credit losses. The use of a protracted slump economic forecast would have increased the allowance for credit losses - loans by approximately 8% as of June 30, 2022, where the use of a stronger near-term growth economic forecast would result in a negligible decrease in the allowance for credit losses - loans as of June 30, 2022. The allowance for credit losses - loans is then adjusted for the period in which those forecasts are considered to be reasonable and supportable. To the extent the lives of the loans in the portfolio extend beyond the period for which a reasonable and supportable forecast can be made, the adjustments discontinue to be applied so that the model reverts back to the historical loss rates using a straight line reversion method. Management selected a reasonable and supportable forecast period of 12 months with a reversion period of 12 months. Both the reasonable and supportable forecast period and the reversion period are periodically reviewed by management.

Further, for loans evaluated collectively, management also considers qualitative and environmental (QE) factors for each loan category to adjust for differences between the historical periods used to calculate historical loss rates and expected conditions over the remaining lives of the loans in the portfolio. In determining the aggregate adjustment needed management considers the financial condition of the borrowers, the nature and volume of the loans, the remaining terms and the extent of prepayments on the loans, the volume and severity of past due and classified loans as well as the value of the underlying collateral on loans in which the collateral dependent practical expedient has not been used. Management also considers the Company’s lending policies, the quality of the Company’s credit review system, the quality of the Company’s management and lending staff, and the regulatory and economic environments in the areas in which the Company’s lending activities are concentrated. Management uses a scale to assign QE factor adjustments based on the level of estimated impact which requires a significant amount of judgment. Generally, adjustments to QE factors are made in five basis-point increments. Some QE factors impact all loan segments equally while others may impact some loan segments more or less than others. If management’s judgment were different for a QE factor that impacts all loan segments equally, a five basis-point change in this QE factor would increase or decrease the allowance for credit losses by 3.6% as of June 30, 2022.

Fair Value Accounting and Measurement: (Note 8) We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial assets and liabilities.  A hierarchical disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability is utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Financial instruments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of pricing observability and a lesser degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial instruments rarely traded or not quoted will generally have little or no pricing observability and a higher degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value. Determining the fair value of financial instruments with unobservable inputs requires a significant amount of judgment. This includes the discount rate used to fair value our trust preferred securities and junior subordinated debentures. A 25 basis-point increase or decrease in the discount rate used to calculate the fair value of our trust preferred securities would result in a $758,000 decrease or increase in the reported fair value as of June 30, 2022, with an offsetting adjustment to our non-interest income. A 25 basis-point increase or decrease in the discount rate used to calculate the fair value of our junior subordinated debentures would

58

result in a $1.9 million decrease or increase in the reported fair value as of June 30, 2022, with an offsetting adjustment to our accumulated other comprehensive income.  

Goodwill: (Note 6) Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration paid over the fair value of the assets acquired, net of the fair values of liabilities assumed in a business combination and is not amortized but is reviewed annually, or more frequently as current circumstances and conditions warrant, for impairment. An assessment of qualitative factors is completed to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The qualitative assessment involves judgment by management on determining whether there have been any triggering events that have occurred which would indicate potential impairment. Such trigger events considered by management could include: a) macroeconomic conditions such as a deterioration in general economic conditions, limitations on accessing capital, or other developments in equity and credit markets; b) industry and market considerations such as a deterioration in the environment in which an entity operates, an increased competitive environment, a decline in market-dependent multiples or metrics (consider in both absolute terms and relative to peers), a change in the market for an entity’s products or services, or a regulatory or political development; c) cost factors such as increases in labor, or other costs that have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows; d) overall financial performance such as negative or declining cash flows or a decline in actual or planned revenue or earnings compared with actual and projected results of relevant prior periods; e) other relevant entity-specific events such as changes in management, key personnel, strategy, or clients; or litigation; f) events affecting a reporting unit such as a change in the composition or carrying amount of its net assets, a more-likely-than-not expectation of selling or disposing of all, or a portion, of a reporting unit, the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit; g) if applicable, a sustained decrease in share price (consider in both absolute terms and relative to peers). If the qualitative analysis concludes that further analysis is required, then a quantitative impairment test would be completed. The quantitative goodwill impairment test is used to identify the existence of impairment and the amount of impairment loss and compares the reporting unit’s estimated fair values, including goodwill, to its carrying amount. If a quantitative goodwill impairment test is required, management would engage a third-party valuation firm to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit. Various valuation methodologies are considered when estimating the reporting unit’s fair value. These methodologies could include a comparable transaction approach, a control premium approach and a discounted cash flow approach, as well as others. The specific factors used in these various valuation methodologies that require judgment include the selection of comparable market transactions, discount rates, earnings capitalization rates and the future projected earnings of the reporting unit. Changes in these assumptions could result in changes to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. If the fair value exceeds the carry amount, then goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized equal to the amount of excess, limited to the amount of total goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The impairment loss would be recognized as a charge to earnings. The Company completed an assessment of qualitative factors and the potential triggering events noted above as of June 30, 2022 and concluded that no further analysis was required as it is more likely than not that the fair value of Banner Bank, the reporting unit, exceeds the carrying value.

Income Taxes and Deferred Taxes: (Note 9) The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries file consolidated U.S. federal income tax returns, as well as state income tax returns in Oregon, California, Utah, Idaho and Montana.  Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method.  Under this method a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the enacted tax rates which are expected to be in effect when the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities are expected to be reported in the Company’s income tax returns.  The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  A 1% change in tax rates would result in a $5.2 million increase or decrease in our net deferred tax asset as of June 30, 2022. We assess the appropriate tax treatment of transactions and filing positions after considering statutes, regulations, judicial precedent and other pertinent information and maintain tax accruals consistent with our evaluation. Changes in the estimate of accrued taxes occur periodically due to changes in tax rates, interpretations of tax laws, the status of examinations by the tax authorities and newly enacted statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance that could impact the relative merits of tax positions. These changes, when they occur, impact accrued taxes and can materially affect our operating results. A valuation allowance is required to be recognized if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. The evaluation pertaining to the tax expense and related deferred tax asset and liability balances involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity around the measurement and resolution of these matters. This includes an evaluation of our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the existence, or generation, of taxable income in the periods when those temporary differences and net operating loss and credit carryforwards are deductible.

Legal Contingencies: In the normal course of our business, we have various legal proceedings and other contingent matters pending. We determine whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. We assess our potential liability by analyzing our litigation and regulatory matters using available information. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with outside counsel handling our defense in these matters, which involves an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. The estimated losses often involve a level of subjectivity and usually are a range of reasonable losses and not an exact number, in those situations we accrue the best estimate within the range or the low end of the range if no estimate within the range is better than another.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021

General:  Total assets decreased $419.7 million, to $16.39 billion at June 30, 2022, from $16.80 billion at December 31, 2021. The decrease was largely the result of a decrease in cash held and interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by loan growth.

Loans and lending: Loans are our most significant and generally highest yielding earning assets. We attempt to maintain a portfolio of loans to total deposits ratio at a level designed to enhance our revenues, while adhering to sound underwriting practices and appropriate diversification guidelines in order to maintain a moderate risk profile. Our loan to deposit ratio typically ranges from 90% to 95%. Our loan to deposit ratio at June 30, 2022 was 67%, which reflects the unprecedented level of market liquidity and decrease in business activity due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect our loan to deposit ratio to remain below historical levels for the foreseeable future. We offer a wide range of loan products to meet the demands of our clients. Our lending activities are primarily directed toward the origination of real estate and commercial loans. Total loans receivable increased $372.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily reflecting increased one-to-four family residential, commercial business, multifamily real estate, commercial construction, one- to four-family construction, land and land development, agricultural business, and consumer loan balances, partially offset by decreased commercial real estate and multifamily construction loan balances. Excluding SBA PPP loans, total loans receivable increased $475.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2022, our loans receivable totaled $9.46 billion compared to $9.08 billion at December 31, 2021 and $9.65 billion at June 30, 2021.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company changed the segmentation of its Small Balance CRE loan category based on the common risk characteristics used to measure the allowance for credit losses. The presentation of loans receivable at December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 has been revised to match the segmentation used in the current period presentation. The following table sets forth the composition of the Company’s loans receivable by type of loan as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

Total loans receivable	$	9,456,829	$	9,084,763	$	9,654,181	4.1	%	(2.0)	%

Our commercial real estate loans for owner-occupied, investment properties, and small balance CRE totaled $3.67 billion, or 39% of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2022. In addition, multifamily residential real estate loans totaled $575.2 million and comprised 6% of our loan portfolio. Commercial real estate loans decreased by $122.3 million during the first six months of 2022 while multifamily real estate loans increased by $44.3 million.

We also originate commercial, multifamily, and one- to four-family construction, land and land development loans, which totaled $1.40 billion, or 15% of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2022, compared to $1.31 billion at December 31, 2021 and $1.37 billion June 30, 2021. One- to four-family construction balances increased $56.7 million, or 10%, to $625.5 million at June 30, 2022 compared to $568.8 million at

60

December 31, 2021 and increased $21.6 million, or 4%, compared to $603.9 million at June 30, 2021. One- to four-family construction loans represented approximately 7% of our total loan portfolio at June 30, 2022, and includes both speculative construction and one- to four-family all-in-one construction loans made to owner occupants that convert to permanent loans upon completion of the homes and subsequently are often sold into the secondary market.

Our commercial business lending is directed toward meeting the credit and related deposit needs of various small- to medium-sized business and agribusiness borrowers operating in our primary market areas.  Our commercial business lending, to a lesser extent, includes participation in certain syndicated loans, including shared national credits, which totaled $201.8 million at June 30, 2022. Our commercial and agricultural business loans increased $112.5 million to $2.36 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to $2.24 billion at December 31, 2021, and decreased $576.9 million, or 20%, compared to $2.93 billion at June 30, 2021. The decrease from the prior year reflects SBA PPP loan repayments from SBA loan forgiveness. SBA PPP loans decreased 77% to $31.0 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $133.9 million at December 31, 2021, and decreased 96% when compared to $825.1 million at June 30, 2021. Commercial and agricultural business loans represented approximately 25% of our portfolio at June 30, 2022.

We are active originators of one- to four-family residential loans in most communities where we have established offices in Washington, Oregon, California and Idaho. Most of the one- to four-family residential loans that we originate are typically sold in secondary markets with net gains on sales and loan servicing fees reflected in our revenues from mortgage banking. Our one- to four-family residential loan originations have recently been relatively strong, despite the increases in interest rates during the current year. At June 30, 2022, our outstanding balance of one- to four-family residential loans retained in our portfolio increased $210.7 million, to $868.2 million, compared to $657.5 million at December 31, 2021, and increased $256.9 million, or 42%, compared to $611.2 million at June 30, 2021. The increase in one- to four-family loans from the preceding quarter was primarily the result of a jumbo mortgage campaign offered during the second quarter of 2022. One- to four-family residential loans represented 9% of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2022.

Our consumer loan activity is primarily directed at meeting demand from our existing deposit clients. At June 30, 2022, consumer loans, including home equity revolving lines of credit, increased $39.7 million to $595.6 million, compared to $555.9 million at December 31, 2021, and increased $34.9 million compared to $560.7 million at June 30, 2021.

The following table shows the commitment amount for loan origination (excluding loans held for sale) activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	Jun 30, 2022		Jun 30, 2021		Jun 30, 2022		Jun 30, 2021
Commercial real estate	$	121,365	$	103,415	$	208,786	$	194,632

Total commitment amount for loan originations (excluding loans held for sale)	$	1,361,755	$	1,087,959	$	2,494,789	$	2,355,734

Loans held for sale decreased to $69.2 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $96.5 million at December 31, 2021, as sales exceeded originations of held-for-sale loans during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Loans held for sale were $71.7 million at June 30, 2021. Originations of loans held for sale decreased to $299.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $504.3 million for the same period last year, primarily due to decreased refinance activity for one- to four-family residential mortgage loans due to the increase in interest rates during the current year. The volume of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans sold was $299.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $566.9 million in the same period a year ago. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we sold $15.8 million of multifamily loans, compared to $191.6 million for the same period a year ago. Loans held for sale included $57.9 million and $18.9 million of multifamily loans and $11.3 million and $52.8 million of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans at June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Investment Securities: Our total investment securities increased $87.2 million to $4.27 billion at June 30, 2022 from December 31, 2021. Securities purchased exceeded sales, paydowns and maturities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. During the first quarter of 2022, $458.6 million of securities were transferred from available for sale to securities held to maturity to limit the impact that potential future interest rates changes would have on our AOCI. Purchases during the six months ended June 30, 2022 were primarily in mortgage-backed securities. The average effective duration of Banner’s securities portfolio was approximately 6.5 years at June 30, 2022, compared to 4.6 years at December 31, 2021. Net fair value adjustments to the portfolio of securities held for trading, which were included in net income, increased $905,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2022. In addition, fair value adjustments for securities designated as available-for-sale decreased $282.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, which was included net of the associated tax benefit of $67.8 million as a component of other comprehensive income, and largely occurred as a result of increases in market interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2022. (See Note 3 of the Selected Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.) The Company held $300.0 million of securities purchased under resell agreements at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Deposits: Deposits, client retail repurchase agreements and loan repayments are the major sources of our funds for lending and other investment purposes.  We compete with other financial institutions and financial intermediaries in attracting deposits and we generally attract deposits within our primary market areas. Increasing core deposits (non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing transaction and savings accounts) is a fundamental element of our business strategy. Much of the focus of our branch strategy and current marketing efforts have been directed toward attracting additional deposit client relationships and balances.  This effort has been particularly directed towards emphasizing core deposit activity in non-interest-bearing and other transaction and savings accounts. The long-term success of our deposit gathering activities is reflected not only in the growth of core deposit balances, but also in the level of deposit fees, service charges and other payment processing revenues compared to prior periods.

The following table sets forth the Company’s deposits by type of deposit account as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

							Percentage Change
	Jun 30, 2022		Dec 31, 2021		Jun 30, 2021		Prior Year End		Prior Year Quarter
Non-interest-bearing	$	6,388,815	$	6,385,177	$	6,090,063	0.1	%	4.9	%
Interest-bearing checking	1,859,582		1,947,414		1,736,696		(4.5)		7.1
Regular savings accounts	2,801,177		2,784,716		2,646,302		0.6		5.9

Interest-bearing transaction & savings accounts	7,067,437		7,103,125		6,673,598		(0.5)		5.9
Total core deposits	13,456,252		13,488,302		12,763,661		(0.2)		5.4
Interest-bearing certificates	756,312		838,631		873,047		(9.8)		(13.4)
Total deposits	$	14,212,564	$	14,326,933	$	13,636,708	(0.8)	%	4.2	%

Total deposits were $14.21 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to $14.33 billion at December 31, 2021 and $13.64 billion a year ago. The $114.4 million decrease in total deposits compared to December 31, 2021 reflects a $32.1 million decrease in core deposits and an $82.3 million decrease in certificates of deposit. The decrease in total deposits during the first six months of 2022 was primarily due to the sale of four branches, which included the transfer of $178.2 million of related deposits. Non-interest-bearing account balances were $6.39 billion at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and increased 5% compared to $6.09 billion a year ago. Interest-bearing transaction and savings accounts decreased 1% to $7.07 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to $7.10 billion at December 31, 2021, and increased 6% compared to

62

$6.67 billion a year ago. Certificates of deposit decreased 10% to $756.3 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $838.6 million at December 31, 2021 and decreased 13% compared to $873.0 million a year ago. We had no brokered deposits at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. Core deposits represented 95% and 94% of total deposits at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The following table presents deposits by geographic concentration at June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

	Jun 30, 2022				Dec 31, 2021		Jun 30, 2021		Percentage Change
	Amount		Percentage		Amount		Amount		Prior Year End		Prior Year Quarter
Washington	$	7,820,321	55.0	%	$	7,952,376	$	7,547,591	(1.7)	%	3.6	%

California	2,520,493		17.7		2,524,296		2,417,387		(0.2)		4.3
Idaho	748,640		5.3		783,207		732,063		(4.4)		2.3
Total deposits	$	14,212,564	100.0	%	$	14,326,933	$	13,636,708	(0.8)	%	4.2	%

Borrowings: We had no FHLB advances at June 30, 2022, compared to $50.0 million at December 31, 2021 as increased core deposits were a sufficient source of funding. Other borrowings, consisting of retail repurchase agreements primarily related to client cash management accounts, decreased $29.8 million, or 11%, to $234.7 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $264.5 million at December 31, 2021. Junior subordinated debentures totaled $72.2 million at June 30, 2022 compared to $119.8 million at December 31, 2021, as Banner redeemed $50.5 million of junior subordinated debentures during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Subordinated notes, net of issuance costs were $98.8 million at June 30, 2022 compared to $98.6 million at December 31, 2021.

Shareholders’ Equity: Total shareholders’ equity decreased $204.5 million to $1.49 billion at June 30, 2022. The decrease in shareholders’ equity is primarily due to the $256.1 million decrease in AOCI, primarily representing the unrealized loss and related decrease in the fair value of securities available-for-sale, net of tax, the accrual of $30.4 million of cash dividends to common shareholders and the repurchase of 200,000 shares of common stock at a total cost of $11.0 million, partially offset by the $91.9 million of year-to-date net income. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, no shares of restricted stock were forfeited and 54,218 shares were surrendered by employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock grants. (See Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” in this Form 10-Q.) Tangible common shareholders’ equity, which excludes goodwill and other intangible assets, decreased $201.5 million to $1.10 billion, or 6.88% of tangible assets at June 30, 2022, compared to $1.30 billion, or 7.93% of tangible assets at December 31, 2021. The decrease in tangible common shareholders’ equity as a percentage of tangible assets was primarily due to the decrease in tangible common shareholders’ equity primarily due to the previously mentioned decrease in AOCI.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 and the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, our net income was $48.0 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, compared to $44.0 million, or $1.27 per diluted share, for the preceding quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our net income was $91.9 million, or $2.66 per diluted share, compared to net income of $101.2 million, or $2.88 per diluted share for the same period a year earlier. Our net income for the current quarter included a $7.8 million gain on sale of branches and increased interest income due to increased average yields on total interest-earning assets, partially offset by decreased mortgage banking income and a provision for credit losses of $4.5 million. Our results for both the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and the preceding quarter included no COVID-19 related expenses or merger and acquisition-related expenses. Our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 included a $10.3 million decrease in mortgage banking income and a decline in the recognition of deferred loan fee income due to reduced loan repayments from SBA PPP loan forgiveness compared to the same period a year ago, partially offset by a recapture of provision for credit losses of $2.4 million and the previously mentioned gain recognized on sale of branches. Our results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 included no COVID-19 related expenses or merger and acquisition-related expenses as compared to $265,000 of COVID-19 related expenses and $650,000 of merger and acquisition-related expenses in the same prior year period.

An increase in the yields on loans and investment securities due to rising interest rates during the quarter, partially offset by a decline in the recognition of deferred loan fee income due to SBA PPP loan repayments from SBA loan forgiveness produced increased net interest income for the quarter compared to the preceding quarter. Growth in the balance of average interest-earning assets and decreased funding costs, partially offset by a decline in the recognition of deferred loan fee income due to SBA PPP loan repayments from SBA loan forgiveness and the decline in the average yield on interest-earning assets, produced increased net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period a year ago. The increase in net interest income and the gain on sale of branches, partially offset by lower income from mortgage banking operations resulted in increased total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to the preceding quarter. Banner recorded a $4.5 million provision for credit losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to a $7.0 million recapture of provision for credit losses in the prior quarter. The provision for credit losses for the current quarter primarily reflects loan growth and, to a lesser extent, a deterioration in forecasted economic conditions. The recapture of provision for credit losses for the preceding quarter primarily reflects improvement in the level of adversely classified loans, as well as in the forecasted economic indicators utilized to estimate credit losses. The increase in net interest income and the gain recognized on the branch sale completed during the second quarter of 2022, partially offset by decreased mortgage banking income resulted in revenues increasing for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period a year earlier. Banner recorded a $2.4 million recapture of provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a $19.5 million recapture of provision for credit losses for the same period a year ago. The recapture of provision for credit

63

losses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily reflects a decrease in adversely classified loans partially offset by growth in loan balances.

Non-interest expenses increased in the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior quarter and decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the to the same period a year ago. The increase in non-interest expense for the current quarter compared to the prior quarter reflects increased salary and employee benefits expenses, primarily due to normal salary and wage adjustments, payment and card processing services expenses and professional services expenses, partially offset by increased capitalized loan origination costs, primarily due to increased loan production, and decreases in loss on extinguishment of debt and information/computer data services expense. During the prior quarter, Banner recorded a $793,000 loss on extinguishment of debt as a result of the redemption of $50.5 million of junior subordinated debentures. The year-over-year decrease in non-interest expense primarily reflects decreases in salary and employee benefits expenses, primarily due to a reduction in staffing, professional and legal expenses, primarily due to a reduction in consultant expense, and advertising and marketing expenses. The year-over-year decreases in non-interest expenses were partially offset by a decrease in capitalized loan origination costs and the previously mentioned loss on extinguishment of debt recognized during the first quarter of 2022.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $10.4 million, or 9%, to $129.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $118.7 million for the preceding quarter. The higher net interest income during the quarter compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to increases in the yields on loans and investment securities, partially offset by a decline in the recognition of deferred loan fee income due to SBA PPP loan repayments from SBA loan forgiveness. The higher yields on interest-earnings assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to preceding quarter reflect the rising interest rate environment during 2022.

The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis of 3.44% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was enhanced by two basis points as a result of acquisition accounting adjustments. This compares to a net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis of 3.18% for the preceding quarter, which included three basis points from acquisition accounting adjustments. The increase in net interest margin compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to an increase in the average yields on interest-earning assets during the current quarter. In March 2022, in response to inflation, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) of the Federal Reserve System commenced increasing the target range for the federal funds rate by implementing a 25 basis-point increase. During the second quarter of 2022, the FOMC increased the target range for the federal funds rate by an additional 125 basis points to a range of 1.50% to 1.75%. The increase in average yields on interest-earning assets during the current quarter reflects the lagging benefit of variable rate interest-earnings assets beginning to reprice higher. Our balance sheet is

64

structured to increase the net interest margin in the near term if the FOMC continues to raise the targeted federal funds rate in an effort to curb inflation, which appears likely based on recent Federal Reserve communications and interest rate forecasts.

Net interest income increased by $2.5 million, or 1%, to $247.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $245.2 million for the same period one year earlier, primarily due to an increase of $912.2 million in the average balance of interest-earning assets and decreased funding costs, partially offset by a decline in the recognition of deferred loan fee income due to SBA PPP loan repayments from SBA loan forgiveness and the decline in the average yield on interest-earning assets. The lower average yields for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to same period a year ago reflect the growth in the average balance of interest-earning assets primarily being invested in short term investments including interest bearing deposits and securities available for sale. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis decreased to 3.31% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 3.48% for the same period in the prior year, as a result of lower yields on interest-earning assets. The net interest margin included three basis points from acquisition accounting adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and five basis points for same period a year earlier.

Interest Income. Interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was $133.0 million, compared to $122.9 million for the preceding quarter.  The increase in interest income during the current quarter compared to the prior quarter occurred primarily as a result of higher yields on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a decline in the recognition of deferred loan fee income due to SBA PPP loan repayments from SBA loan forgiveness. The average balance of interest-earning assets was $15.35 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $15.42 billion for the preceding quarter. The average yield on total interest-earning assets was 3.54% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to 3.29% for the preceding quarter. This increase in average yield between the quarters reflects a 46 basis-point increase in the average yield on investment securities, and a four basis-point increase in the average yield on loans, in each case due to rising interest rates, partially offset by a decline in the recognition of deferred loan fee income due to SBA repayment and forgiveness of low yielding SBA PPP loans. Average loans receivable for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 increased $209.4 million, or 2%, to $9.37 billion, compared to $9.16 billion for the preceding quarter, primarily reflecting the increase in one- to four-family loans. Interest income on loans increased by $4.2 million to $104.5 million for the current quarter from $100.4 million for the preceding quarter, reflecting the increase in the average balance of loans receivable as well as the impact of the previously mentioned increases in interest rates, partially offset by a decline in the recognition of deferred loan fee income due to loan repayments from SBA PPP loan forgiveness.  The average yield on total loans increased to 4.54% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, from 4.50% in the preceding quarter, also reflecting the impact of the previously mentioned increases in interest rates, partially offset by a decline in the recognition of deferred loan fee income due to loan repayments from SBA PPP loan forgiveness. The acquisition accounting loan discount accretion and the related balance sheet impact added four basis points to the current quarter’s average loan yield, compared to five basis points in the preceding quarter.

The combined average balance of mortgage-backed securities, other investment securities, equity securities, interest-bearing deposits and FHLB stock (total investment securities or combined portfolio) decreased to $5.98 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 (excluding the effect of fair value adjustments), compared to $6.26 billion for the preceding quarter. The interest and dividend income from those investments increased by $6.0 million compared to the preceding quarter. The average yield on the combined portfolio increased to 1.99% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, from 1.53% in the preceding quarter. The increase in the average yield for the current quarter compared to the preceding quarter reflects the rising interest rates as well as a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits.

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $255.9 million, compared to $258.1 million for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $2.2 million. The results between the periods primarily reflect a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets, mostly due to the investment of excess liquidity in short term investments as well as a decline in the acceleration of the recognition of deferred loan fee income upon SBA repayment and forgiveness of low yielding SBA PPP loans, partially offset by a higher average balance of interest-earning assets.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was $4.0 million, compared to $4.2 million for the preceding quarter. The interest expense decrease between the current quarter and preceding quarter reflects the decrease in total average borrowings and a slight decrease in the average cost of total funding liabilities.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $8.2 million, compared to $12.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in interest expense occurred as a result of an eight basis-point decrease in the average cost of all funding liabilities to 0.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 0.19% for the same period in the prior year, partially offset by a $1.03 billion, or 7%, increase in average funding liabilities.  The increase in average funding liabilities reflects increases in low costing core deposits, including non-interest-bearing deposits and interest-bearing transaction and savings accounts.

Deposit interest expense decreased $78,000, or 4%, to $2.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $2.1 million for the preceding quarter, primarily as a result of a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits. The average rate paid on total deposits was 0.06% in both the second quarter of 2022 and the preceding quarter. The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased by one basis-point to 0.10% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to 0.11% in the preceding quarter. Average deposit balances increased to $14.44 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, from $14.41 billion for the preceding quarter.

Deposit interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $2.5 million, or 38%, to $4.1 million, compared to $6.6 million for the same period in the prior year. Average deposit balances increased to $14.43 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $13.27 billion for the same period a year earlier, while the average rate paid on deposits decreased to 0.06% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from 0.10% for the same period in the prior year. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased by eight basis points to 0.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 0.18% in the same period a year earlier. The decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing

65

deposits was primarily the result of an increase in the average balance of core deposits and a 36 basis-point decrease on the cost of certificates of deposit.

Interest expense on total borrowings decreased to $2.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 from $2.2 million for the preceding quarter. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in the average balance of the FHLB Advances. The average rate paid on total borrowings for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 increased to 1.80% from 1.74% for the preceding quarter. Average total borrowings were $441.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $500.4 million for the preceding quarter.

Interest expense on total borrowings decreased to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $6.2 million for the same period a year earlier. Average total borrowings were $470.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $591.7 million for the same period a year earlier. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the average balance of the junior subordinated debentures and FHLB advances. The average rate paid on total borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased to 1.77% from 2.12% for the same period a year earlier.

Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses. Management estimates the allowance for credit losses using relevant information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for expected credit losses over the life of the loan based on evaluating historical credit loss experience and making adjustments to historical loss information for differences in the specific risk characteristics in the current loan portfolio.  These factors include, among others, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, differences in underwriting standards, delinquency rates, actual loss experience and current economic conditions. The following table sets forth an analysis of our allowance for credit losses - loans for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

The provision for credit losses - loans reflects the amount required to maintain the allowance for credit losses - loans at an appropriate level based upon management’s evaluation of the adequacy of collective and individual loss reserves. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a provision for credit losses - loans of $3.1 million, compared to a recapture of provision for credit losses - loans of $7.4 million during the prior quarter. The provision for credit losses - loans for the current quarter primarily reflects loan growth and, to a lesser extent, a deterioration in forecasted economic conditions. The recapture of provision for credit losses - loans for the prior quarter primarily reflects improvement in the level of adversely classified loans, as well as in the forecasted economic indicators utilized to estimate credit losses. Future assessments of the expected credit losses will not only be impacted by changes to the reasonable and supportable forecast, but will also include an updated assessment of qualitative factors, as well as consideration of any required changes in the reasonable and supportable forecast reversion period. No allowance for credit losses - loans was recorded on the $31.0 million balance of SBA PPP loans at June 30, 2022 as these loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA.

Net loan recoveries were $87,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to net recoveries of $748,000 in the preceding quarter. The allowance for credit losses - loans was $128.7 million at June 30, 2022 compared to $125.5 million at March 31, 2022 and $148.0 million at June 30, 2021. The allowance for credit losses - loans as a percentage of total loans (loans receivable excluding allowance for credit losses) was 1.36% at June 30, 2022 as compared to 1.37% at March 31, 2022 and 1.53% at June 30, 2021. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses - loans as a percentage of loans at June 30, 2022 compared to June 30, 2021 reflects the recapture of provision for credit losses - loans recorded during 2022, primarily as the result of the improvement in the forecasted economic indicators as well as the decrease in adversely classified loans.

The provision for credit losses - unfunded loan commitments reflects the amount required to maintain the allowance for credit losses - unfunded loan commitments at an appropriate level based upon management’s evaluation of the adequacy of collective and individual loss reserves. The following table sets forth an analysis of our allowance for credit losses - unfunded loan commitments for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

69

	Quarters Ended				Six Months Ended
CHANGE IN THE	Jun 30, 2022		Mar 31, 2022		Jun 30, 2022		Jun 30, 2021

Balance, end of period	$	14,246	$	12,860	$	14,246	$	9,909

The allowance for credit losses - unfunded loan commitments was $14.2 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $12.9 million at March 31, 2022 and compared to $9.9 million at June 30, 2021. The increase in the allowance for credit losses - unfunded loan commitments reflects the provision for credit losses - unfunded loan commitments recorded during the current quarter. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a provision for credit losses - unfunded loan commitments of $1.4 million, compared to a $428,000 provision for loan losses - unfunded loan commitments during the preceding quarter. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a provision for credit losses - unfunded loan commitments of $1.8 million, compared to a recapture of provision for loan losses - unfunded loan commitments of $3.4 million during the same period a year earlier. The provision for credit losses - unfunded loan commitments during the current and preceding quarter was primarily the result of an increase in unfunded loan commitments.

Non-interest Income. The following table presents the key components of non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 and the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (dollars in thousands):

Non-interest income was $27.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $19.4 million for the preceding quarter, and $46.6 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The increases in non-interest income for the quarter, compared to the preceding quarter is primarily due to the previously mentioned $7.8 million gain recognized on the branch sale completed during the quarter. Our non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 included a $69,000 net gain for fair value adjustments and a net gain of $32,000 on sales of securities. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, fair value adjustments resulted in a net gain of $49,000 and we had a net gain of $435,000 on sale of securities. Our non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 included a net gain of $118,000 for fair value adjustments and a $467,000 net gain on sale of securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, fair value adjustments resulted in a net gain of $117,000 and we had a $562,000 net gain on sale of securities. For a more detailed discussion of our fair value adjustments, please refer to Note 8 in the Selected Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Deposit fees and other service charges decreased by $189,000, or 2%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to the preceding quarter. Deposit fees and other service charges increased by $3.5 million, or 19%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period a year earlier, primarily as a result of increased deposit transaction account activity. Mortgage banking operations, including gains on one- to four-family and multifamily loan sales and loan servicing fees, decreased $462,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to the preceding quarter and decreased $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period a year earlier. There were no sales of multifamily loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Gains on sales of multifamily loans resulted in income of $340,000 during the preceding quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $3.4 million for the same six-month period a year ago. Gains on sales of one- to four-family loans resulted in income of $3.7 million and $7.8 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $4.1 million in the preceding quarter, and $15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. These decreases in mortgage banking operations between the periods primarily reflect a reduction in the volume of one- to four-family loans sold, as well as a decrease in the gain on sale margin on one- to four-family held-for-sale loans. The reduction in volumes reflects a reduction in refinancing activity as interest rates increased during 2022. Home purchase activity accounted for 82% of one- to four-family mortgage loan originations in the second quarter of 2022, compared to 64% in the prior quarter. The lower mortgage banking revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period a year ago is also due in part to a $1.1 million lower of cost or market downward adjustment recorded on multifamily held for sale loans during the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to increases in market interest rates.

70

The decrease in miscellaneous non-interest income during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period a year earlier is primarily due to higher gains recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to the disposition of closed branch locations.

Non-interest Expense.  The following table represents key elements of non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 and the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (dollars in thousands):

Non-interest expenses were $92.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $91.2 million for the preceding quarter, and $183.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $186.2 million for the same period last year. The current quarter non-interest expense includes increased salary and employee benefits expenses, payment and card processing services expenses and professional services expenses, partially offset by increased capitalized loan origination costs and decreases in loss on extinguishment of debt and information / computer data services expense. We recognized no COVID-19 expenses during both the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and the preceding quarter. The decrease in non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily reflects decreases in salary and employee benefits expenses, professional and legal expenses and advertising and marketing expenses, partially offset by a decrease in capitalized loan origination costs and the loss on extinguishment of debt recognized during the first quarter of 2022. The six months ended June 30, 2022 results included no COVID-19 expenses, compared to $265,000 for the same period last year.

Salary and employee benefits expenses increased $1.3 million to $60.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $59.5 million for the preceding quarter, primarily due to an increase in salaries due to annual merit increases along with increased production related commission and bonus expense, partially offset by a decline in severance expense. Salary and employee benefits expenses decreased $6.4 million to $120.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $126.8 million for the same period last year, primarily due to a reduction in staffing. Capitalized loan origination costs increased $1.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to the preceding quarter, primarily due to increased loan production, and decreased $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the origination of SBA PPP loans during the first quarter of 2021. Payment and card processing services expenses increased $786,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to the preceding quarter, and $1.3 million compared to the same period last year, primarily reflecting expenses related to fraudulent deposit account activity. Professional and legal expenses increased $698,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to the preceding quarter, and decreased $2.6 million compared to the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease in consulting expense. Advertising and marketing expenses increased $361,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to the preceding quarter and decreased $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to a reduction in direct mail marketing expenses. In addition, Banner recorded a $793,000 loss as a result of the redemption of $50.5 million of junior subordinated debentures during the prior quarter.

Banner’s efficiency ratio was 58.94% for the current quarter, compared to 66.04% in the preceding quarter. Banner’s adjusted efficiency ratio was 59.46% for the current quarter, compared to 62.09% in the preceding quarter. See the discussion and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information in the Executive Overview section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation in this Form 10-Q for more detailed information with respect to the efficiency ratio.

71

Income Taxes. For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we recognized $11.6 million in income tax expense for an effective tax rate of 19.5%, which reflects our blended statutory tax rate reduced by the effect of tax-exempt income, certain tax credits, and tax benefits related to restricted stock vesting. Our statutory income tax rate is 23.6%, representing a blend of the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% and apportioned effects of the state income tax rates. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we recognized $9.9 million in income tax expense for an effective tax rate of 18.4%. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized $21.5 million in income tax expense for an effective tax rate of 19.0%, compared to $23.9 million in income tax expense for an effective tax rate of 19.1% for the same period in the prior year. For more discussion on our income taxes, please refer to Note 9 in the Selected Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report on Form 10-Q.

Asset Quality

Maintaining a moderate risk profile by employing appropriate underwriting standards, avoiding excessive asset concentrations and aggressively managing troubled assets has been and will continue to be a primary focus for us. We actively engage our borrowers to resolve classified loans, problem assets and effectively manage REO as a result of foreclosures.

Non-Performing Assets:  Non-performing assets decreased to $19.1 million, or 0.12% of total assets, at June 30, 2022, from $23.7 million, or 0.14% of total assets, at December 31, 2021, and from $31.5 million, or 0.19% of total assets, at June 30, 2021. Our allowance for credit losses - loans was $128.7 million, or 688% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2022 compared to $132.1 million, or 578% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2021 and $148.0 million, or 481% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2021. We believe our level of non-performing loans and assets continues to be manageable at June 30, 2022. The primary components of the $19.1 million in non-performing assets were $16.7 million in nonaccrual loans, $2.1 million in loans more than 90 days delinquent and still accruing interest, and $357,000 in REO and other repossessed assets.

Loans are reported as TDRs when we grant concessions to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties that we would not otherwise consider.  If any TDR loan becomes delinquent or other matters call into question the borrower’s ability to repay full interest and principal in accordance with the restructured terms, the TDR loan would be reclassified as nonaccrual.  At June 30, 2022, we had $4.4 million of TDR loans performing under their restructured repayment terms.

The following table sets forth information with respect to our non-performing assets and restructured loans at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

(1)Includes $51,000 of nonaccrual TDR loans at June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, interest income was reduced by $132,000 as a result of nonaccrual loan activity, which includes the reversal of $86,000 of accrued interest as of the date the loan was placed on nonaccrual. There was no interest income recognized on nonaccrual loans for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

(2)These loans were performing under their restructured repayment terms at the dates indicated.

In addition to the non-performing loans as of June 30, 2022, we had other classified loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $134.5 million that are not on nonaccrual status, with respect to which known information concerning possible credit problems with the borrowers or the cash flows of the properties securing the respective loans has caused management to be concerned about the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms.  This may result in the future inclusion of such loans in the nonaccrual loan category.

The following table presents the Company’s portfolio of risk-rated loans and non-risk-rated loans by grade at the dates indicated (in thousands):

	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021		June 30, 2021
Pass	$	9,274,655	$	8,874,468	$	9,315,264

Total	$	9,456,829	$	9,084,763	$	9,654,181

The decrease in substandard loans during the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily reflects the payoff of substandard loans as well as risk rating upgrades.

REO: REO was $340,000 at June 30, 2022 compared to $852,000 at December 31, 2021. The following table shows REO activity for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 and the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Six months ended

Non-recurring fair value adjustments to REO are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on an observable market price or current appraised value of property. The individual carrying values of these assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually and any additional impairment charges are expensed to operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, proceeds from loan principal and interest payments and sales of loans, and the maturity of and interest income on mortgage-backed and investment securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, competition and our pricing strategies.

Our primary investing activity is the origination of loans and, in certain periods, the purchase of securities or loans.  During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, our loan originations, including originations of loans held for sale, exceeded our loan repayments by $578.4 million and $294.5 million, respectively. There were $75.9 million of loan purchases during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $33,000 of loan purchases during the six months ended June 30, 2021. This activity was funded primarily by the reduction in the balance of cash held as interest-bearing deposits and the sale of loans in 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, we received proceeds of $324.4 million and $722.6 million, respectively, from the sale of loans. Securities purchased during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 totaled $664.0 million and $1.93 billion, respectively, and securities repayments, maturities and sales in those periods were $254.8 million and $895.2 million, respectively.

Our primary financing activity is gathering deposits. Total deposits decreased by $114.4 million during the first six months of 2022, as certificates of deposit decreased by $82.3 million and core deposits decreased by $32.1 million. The decrease in total deposits during the first six months of 2022 was primarily due to the sale of four branches, which included the transfer of $178.2 million of related deposits. Certificates of deposit are generally more vulnerable to competition and more price sensitive than other retail deposits and our pricing of those deposits varies significantly based upon our liquidity management strategies at any point in time.  At June 30, 2022, certificates of deposit totaled $756.3 million, or 5% of our total deposits, including $611.1 million which were scheduled to mature within one year.  While no

73

assurance can be given as to future periods, historically, we have been able to retain a significant amount of our certificates of deposit as they mature.

We had no FHLB advances at June 30, 2022, compared to $50.0 million at December 31, 2021. Other borrowings decreased $29.8 million to $234.7 million at June 30, 2022 from $264.5 million at December 31, 2021.

We must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to accommodate deposit withdrawals, to support loan growth, to satisfy financial commitments and to take advantage of investment opportunities. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we used our sources of funds primarily to fund loan commitments and purchase securities. At June 30, 2022, we had outstanding loan commitments totaling $4.34 billion, primarily relating to undisbursed loans in process and unused credit lines. While representing potential growth in the loan portfolio and lending activities, this level of commitments is proportionally consistent with our historical experience and does not represent a departure from normal operations.

We generally maintain sufficient cash and readily marketable securities to meet short-term liquidity needs; however, our primary liquidity management practice to supplement deposits is to increase or decrease short-term borrowings.  We maintain credit facilities with the FHLB-Des Moines, which provided for advances that in the aggregate would equal the lesser of 45% of Banner Bank’s assets or adjusted qualifying collateral (subject to a sufficient level of ownership of FHLB stock).  At June 30, 2022, under these credit facilities based on pledged collateral, Banner Bank had $2.41 billion of available credit capacity. We had no advances under these credit facilities at June 30, 2022. In addition, Banner Bank has been approved for participation in the Borrower-In-Custody (BIC) program by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (FRBSF).  Under this program, based on pledged collateral, Banner Bank had available lines of credit of approximately $876.8 million as of June 30, 2022.  We had no funds borrowed from the FRBSF at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. At June 30, 2022, Banner Bank also had uncommitted federal funds line of credit agreements with other financial institutions totaling $125.0 million. No balances were outstanding under these agreements as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. Availability of lines is subject to federal funds balances available for loan and continued borrower eligibility. These lines are intended to support short-term liquidity needs and the agreements may restrict consecutive day usage. Management believes it has adequate resources and funding potential to meet our foreseeable liquidity requirements.

Banner Corporation is a separate legal entity from the Bank and, on a stand-alone level, must provide for its own liquidity and pay its own operating expenses and cash dividends. Banner Corporation’s primary sources of funds consist of capital raised through dividends or capital distributions from the Bank, although there are regulatory restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends. We currently expect to continue our current practice of paying quarterly cash dividends on our common stock subject to our Board of Directors’ discretion to modify or terminate this practice at any time and for any reason without prior notice. Our current quarterly common stock dividend rate is $0.44 per share, as approved by our Board of Directors, which we believe is a dividend rate per share which enables us to balance our multiple objectives of managing and investing in the Bank, and returning a substantial portion of our cash to our shareholders. Assuming continued payment during 2022 at this rate of $0.44 per share, our average total dividend paid each quarter would be approximately $15.0 million based on the number of outstanding shares at June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2022, the Company on an unconsolidated basis had liquid assets of $57.7 million.

As noted below, Banner Corporation and its subsidiary bank continued to maintain capital levels significantly in excess of the requirements to be categorized as “Well-Capitalized” under applicable regulatory standards.  During the six months ended June 30, 2022, total shareholders’ equity decreased $204.5 million, to $1.49 billion.  At June 30, 2022, tangible common shareholders’ equity, which excludes goodwill and other intangible assets, was $1.10 billion, or 6.88% of tangible assets.  See the discussion and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information in the Executive Overview section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation in this Form 10-Q for more detailed information with respect to tangible common shareholders’ equity.  Also, see the capital requirements discussion and table below with respect to our regulatory capital positions.

Capital Requirements

Banner Corporation is a bank holding company registered with 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 (BHCA), and the regulations of the Federal Reserve.  Banner Bank, as state-chartered, federally insured commercial bank, is subject to the capital requirements established by the FDIC.

The capital adequacy requirements are quantitative measures established by regulation that require Banner Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital.  The Federal Reserve requires Banner Corporation to maintain capital adequacy that generally parallels the FDIC requirements.  The FDIC requires the Bank to maintain minimum ratios of Total Capital, Tier 1 Capital, and Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets as well as Tier 1 Leverage Capital to average assets.  In addition to the minimum capital ratios, both Banner Corporation and the Bank are required to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional Common Equity Tier 1 Capital of more than 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses. At June 30, 2022, Banner Corporation and the Bank each exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. (See Item 1, “Business–Regulation,” and Note 14 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2021 Form 10-K for additional information regarding regulatory capital requirements for Banner Corporation and the Bank.)

ITEM 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk and Asset/Liability Management

Our financial condition and operations are influenced significantly by general economic conditions, including the absolute level of interest rates as well as changes in interest rates and the slope of the yield curve.  Our profitability is dependent to a large extent on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest received from our interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred on our interest-bearing liabilities.

Our activities, like all financial institutions, inherently involve the assumption of interest rate risk.  Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will have an adverse impact on the institution’s earnings and underlying economic value.  Interest rate risk is determined by the maturity and repricing characteristics of an institution’s assets, liabilities and off-balance-sheet contracts.  Interest rate risk is measured by the variability of financial performance and economic value resulting from changes in interest rates.  Interest rate risk is the primary market risk affecting our financial performance.

The greatest source of interest rate risk to us results from the mismatch of maturities or repricing intervals for rate sensitive assets, liabilities and off-balance-sheet contracts.  This mismatch or gap is generally characterized by a substantially shorter maturity structure for interest-bearing liabilities than interest-earning assets, although our floating-rate assets tend to be more immediately responsive to changes in market rates than most deposit liabilities.  Additional interest rate risk results from mismatched repricing indices and formula (basis risk and yield curve risk), and product caps and floors and early repayment or withdrawal provisions (option risk), which may be contractual or market driven, that are generally more favorable to clients than to us.  An exception to this generalization is the beneficial effect of interest rate floors on a portion of our performing floating-rate loans, which help us maintain higher loan yields in periods when market interest rates decline significantly.  However, in a declining interest rate environment, as loans with floors are repaid they generally are replaced with new loans which have lower interest rate floors.  As of June 30, 2022, our loans with interest rate floors totaled $3.90 billion and had a weighted average floor rate of 4.10% compared to a current average note rate of 4.77%.  As of June 30, 2022, our loans with interest rates at their floors totaled $1.19 billion and had a weighted average note rate of 4.03% and our loans with interest rates below their floors totaled $428.9 million and had a weighted average note rate of 4.21%. The Company actively manages its exposure to interest rate risk through on-going adjustments to the mix of interest-earning assets and funding sources that affect the repricing speeds of loans, investments, interest-bearing deposits and borrowings.

The principal objectives of asset/liability management are: to evaluate the interest rate risk exposure; to determine the level of risk appropriate given our operating environment, business plan strategies, performance objectives, capital and liquidity constraints, and asset and liability allocation alternatives; and to manage our interest rate risk consistent with regulatory guidelines and policies approved by the Board of Directors.  Through such management, we seek to reduce the vulnerability of our earnings and capital position to changes in the level of interest rates.  Our actions in this regard are taken under the guidance of the Asset/Liability Management Committee, which is comprised of members of our senior management.  The Committee closely monitors our interest sensitivity exposure, asset and liability allocation decisions, liquidity and capital positions, and local and national economic conditions and attempts to structure the loan and investment portfolios and funding sources to maximize earnings within acceptable risk tolerances.

Sensitivity Analysis

Our primary monitoring tool for assessing interest rate risk is asset/liability simulation modeling, which is designed to capture the dynamics of balance sheet, interest rate and spread movements and to quantify variations in net interest income resulting from those movements under different rate environments.  The sensitivity of net interest income to changes in the modeled interest rate environments provides a measurement of interest rate risk.  We also utilize economic value analysis, which addresses changes in estimated net economic value of equity arising from changes in the level of interest rates.  The net economic value of equity is estimated by separately valuing our assets and liabilities under varying interest rate environments.  The extent to which assets gain or lose value in relation to the gains or losses of liability values under the various interest rate assumptions determines the sensitivity of net economic value to changes in interest rates and provides an additional measure of interest rate risk.

The interest rate sensitivity analysis performed by us incorporates beginning-of-the-period rate, balance and maturity data, using various levels of aggregation of that data, as well as certain assumptions concerning the maturity, repricing, amortization and prepayment characteristics of loans and other interest-earning assets and the repricing and withdrawal of deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities into an asset/liability computer simulation model.  We update and prepare simulation modeling at least quarterly for review by senior management and oversight by the directors. We believe the data and assumptions are realistic representations of our portfolio and possible outcomes under the various interest rate scenarios.  Nonetheless, the interest rate sensitivity of our net interest income and net economic value of equity could vary substantially if different assumptions were used or if actual experience differs from the assumptions used.

76

The following table sets forth, as of June 30, 2022, the estimated changes in our net interest income over one-year and two-year time horizons and the estimated changes in economic value of equity based on the indicated interest rate environments (dollars in thousands):

	Estimated Increase (Decrease) in
Change (in Basis Points) in Interest Rates (1)	Net Interest Income Next 12 Months				Net Interest Income Next 24 Months				Economic Value of Equity
+400	$	57,267	10.0	%	$	122,717	10.5	%	$	(623,498)	(19.6)	%

(1)    Assumes an instantaneous and sustained uniform change in market interest rates at all maturities; however, no rates are allowed to go below zero.  The targeted Federal Funds Rate was between 1.50% and 1.75% at June 30, 2022.

Interest Rate Swaps: The Bank enters into interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan clients to meet their interest rate risk management needs. The Bank simultaneously enters into interest rate swaps with dealer counterparties, with identical notional amounts and terms. The net result of these interest rate swaps is that the client pays a fixed rate of interest and the Bank receives a floating rate. These interest rate swaps are derivative financial instruments and the gross fair values are recorded in other assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value during the period recorded in other non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk: The Bank’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to reduce volatility in net interest income and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Bank primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Bank entered into interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing floating rate loans. These hedge contracts involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Bank making floating-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

Another (although less reliable) monitoring tool for assessing interest rate risk is gap analysis.  The matching of the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which assets and liabilities are interest sensitive and by monitoring an institution’s interest sensitivity gap.  An asset or liability is said to be interest sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period.  The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets anticipated, based upon certain assumptions, to mature or reprice within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities anticipated to mature or reprice, based upon certain assumptions, within that same time period.  A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest-sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest-sensitive liabilities.  A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest-sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest-sensitive assets.  Generally, during a period of rising rates, a negative gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income.  During a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income while a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in gap analysis.  For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market rates.  Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates.  Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgage loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset.  Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table.  Finally, the ability of some borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of a severe change in market rates.

The following table presents our interest sensitivity gap between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at June 30, 2022 (dollars in thousands).  The table sets forth the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which are anticipated by us, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature in each of the future periods shown.  At June 30, 2022, total interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within one year exceeded total interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing in the same time period by $4.09 billion, representing a one-year cumulative gap to total assets ratio of 24.96%.  Management is aware of the sources of interest rate risk and in its opinion actively monitors and manages it to the extent possible.  The interest rate risk indicators and interest sensitivity gaps as of June 30, 2022 are within our internal policy guidelines and management considers that our current level of interest rate risk is reasonable.

Footnotes for Table of Interest Sensitivity Gap

(1)Adjustable-rate assets are included in the period in which interest rates are next scheduled to adjust rather than in the period in which they are due to mature, and fixed-rate assets are included in the period in which they are scheduled to be repaid based upon scheduled amortization, in each case adjusted to take into account estimated prepayments.  Mortgage loans and other loans are not reduced for allowances for credit losses and non-performing loans.  Mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities, other loans and investment securities are not adjusted for deferred fees, unamortized acquisition premiums and discounts.

(2)Adjustable-rate liabilities are included in the period in which interest rates are next scheduled to adjust rather than in the period they are due to mature.  Although regular savings, demand, interest checking, and money market deposit accounts are subject to immediate withdrawal, based on historical experience management considers a substantial amount of such accounts to be core deposits having significantly longer maturities.  For the purpose of the gap analysis, these accounts have been assigned decay rates to reflect their longer effective maturities.  If all of these accounts had been assumed to be short-term, the one-year cumulative gap of interest-sensitive assets would have been $(1.9) billion, or (11.65)% of total assets at June 30, 2022.  Interest-bearing liabilities for this table exclude certain non-interest-bearing deposits which are included in the average balance calculations in the table contained in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 and the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021” of this report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 4 – Controls and Procedures

The management of Banner Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act).  A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives are met.  Also, because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.  The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.  As a result of these inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Further, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:  An evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of our senior management as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to our management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

(b)Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting:  In the quarter ended June 30, 2022, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 – Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of our business, we have various legal proceedings and other contingent matters pending. These proceedings and the associated legal claims are often contested and the outcome of individual matters is not always predictable. Furthermore, in some matters, it is difficult to assess potential exposure because the legal proceeding is still in the pretrial stage. These claims and counter claims typically arise during the course of collection efforts on problem loans or with respect to actions to enforce liens on properties in which we hold a security interest, although we also are subject to claims related to employment matters. Claims related to employment matters may include, but are not limited to: claims by our employees of discrimination, harassment, violations of wage and hour requirements, or violations of other federal, state, or local laws and claims of misconduct or negligence on the part of our employees. Some or all of these claims may lead to litigation, including class action litigation, and these matters may cause us to incur negative publicity with respect to alleged claims. Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against us, and any claims asserted against us, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, may harm our reputation. Should the ultimate judgments or settlements in any litigation exceed our insurance coverage, they could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation for any period. At June 30, 2022, we had accrued $11.8 million related to these legal proceedings. The ultimate outcome of these legal proceedings could be more or less than what we have accrued. We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operations or cash flows, except as set forth below.

A class and collective action lawsuit, Bolding et al. v. Banner Bank, US Dist. Ct., WD WA., was filed against Banner Bank on April 17, 2017. The plaintiffs are former and/or current mortgage loan officers of AmericanWest Bank and/or Banner Bank, who allege that the employer bank failed to pay all required regular and overtime wages that were due pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) and related laws of the state respective to each individual plaintiff. The plaintiffs seek regular and overtime wages, plus certain penalty amounts and legal fees. On December 15, 2017, the court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for conditional certification of a class with regard to the FLSA claims; following notice given to approximately 160 potential class members, 33 persons elected to “opt-in” as plaintiffs in the class. On October 10, 2018, the Court granted plaintiffs’ motion for certification of a different class of approximately 200 members, with regard to state law claims. Significant pre-trial motions were filed by both parties, including various motions by Banner Bank seeking to dismiss and/or limit the class claims. The court granted in part and denied in part Banner Bank’s motions and has ultimately allowed the case to proceed. The Court ruled on the last of the pre-trial motions on September 13, 2021, increasing the likelihood of trial or settlement. If the case goes to trial and the Company is unsuccessful in defending the claims, damages could be higher than the amount the Company has accrued as a litigation contingency reserve for this case. We believe that there are substantial defenses to this lawsuit, and we have, and will continue to, defend this case vigorously. The ultimate outcome is unknown at this time. Mediation previously scheduled for September 2022 is in the process of being rescheduled to a later date. In the event the parties fail to reach a settlement, a trial for this case will be scheduled, and will be bifurcated between a liability phase and a damages phase.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Banner Corporation (the Company or Banner), a bank holding company incorporated in the State of Washington and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Banner Bank (the Bank).

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2022 for potential recognition or disclosure. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Certain information and note disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and the accounting standards for interim financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2021 Consolidated Financial Statements and/or schedules to conform to the 2022 presentation. These reclassifications may have affected certain ratios for the prior periods. The effect of these reclassifications is considered immaterial. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. Various elements of the Company’s accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. In particular, management has identified several accounting policies that, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of Banner’s consolidated financial statements.  These policies relate to (i) the methodology for the recognition of interest income, (ii) determination of the provision and allowance for credit losses, (iii) the valuation of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, (iv) the valuation of intangible assets, such as goodwill, core deposit intangibles (CDI) and loan servicing rights, (v) the valuation of real estate held for sale, (vi) the valuation or recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities, (vii) the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations and subsequent recognition of related income and expense and (viii) the determination of estimated losses from legal proceedings and other contingent matters pending. These policies and judgments, estimates and assumptions are described in greater detail in subsequent notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Critical Accounting Policies) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC (2021 Form 10-K).  There have been no significant changes in our application of these accounting policies during the first six months of 2022.

The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our 2021 Form 10-K.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS RECENTLY ISSUED OR ADOPTED

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS RECENTLY ISSUED OR ADOPTED

Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance within Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, in response to the scheduled discontinuation of LIBOR on December 31, 2021. The amendments in this ASU provide optional guidance designed to provide relief from the accounting analysis and impacts that may otherwise be required for modifications to agreements (e.g., loans, debt securities, derivatives, borrowings) necessitated by reference rate reform. Since the issuance of this guidance, the publication cessation of U.S. dollar LIBOR has been extended to June 30, 2023.

The following optional expedients for applying the requirements of certain Topics or Industry Subtopics in the Codification are permitted for contracts that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance: 1) modifications of contracts within the scope of Topics 310, Receivables, and 470, Debt, should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate; 2) modifications of contracts within the scope of Topic 842, Leases, should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing contracts with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required under this Topic for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts; 3) modifications of contracts do not require an entity to reassess its original conclusion about whether that contract contains an embedded derivative that is clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract under Subtopic 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging- Embedded Derivatives; and 4) for other Topics or Industry Subtopics in the Codification, the amendments in this ASU also include a general principle that permits an entity to consider contract modifications due to reference rate reform to be an event that does not require contract remeasurement at the modification date or reassessment of a previous accounting determination.

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. This ASU clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The ASU also amends the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition.

The amendments in these ASUs are effective upon the issuance date of March 12, 2020 and applies to contract modifications made and new hedging relationships entered into through December 31, 2022. The Company has elected certain expedients related to individual hedge relationships. The Company will be able to use other expedients in this guidance to manage through the transition away from LIBOR, specifically as they relate to loans, leases and hedging relationships. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)

In March 2022, the FASB issued guidance within ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU eliminate the current troubled debt restructuring (TDR) recognition and measurement guidance and, instead, require that a creditor evaluate (consistent with the accounting for other loan modifications) whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The amendments also introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

These amendments require vintage disclosures including current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables. Gross write-off information must be included in the vintage disclosures in accordance with ASC 326-20-50-6, which requires disclosure of the amortized cost basis of financing receivables by credit quality indicator and class of financing receivable by year of origination.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years since the Company previously adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13, which is commonly referred to as the current expected credit loss methodology, on January 1, 2020. These amendments should be applied prospectively, though for the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, an entity has the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption.

Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. An entity may elect to early adopt the amendments about TDRs and related disclosure enhancements separately from the amendments related to the vintage disclosures. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)

In June 2022, the FASB issued guidance within ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The amendments in this ASU affect all entities that have investments in equity securities measured at fair value that are subject to a contractual sale restriction. These amendments clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity debt securities was $4.9 million and $3.3 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and was $10.4 million and $10.1 million on available-for-sale debt securities at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Accrued interest receivable on securities is reported in accrued interest receivable on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and is excluded from the calculation of the allowance for credit losses.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the gross unrealized losses and the fair value for securities available-for-sale aggregated by the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position were as follows (in thousands):

At June 30, 2022, there were 263 securities—available-for-sale with unrealized losses, compared to 97 at December 31, 2021.  Management does not believe that any individual unrealized loss as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021 resulted from credit loss.  The decline in fair market value of these securities was generally due to changes in interest rates and changes in market-desired spreads subsequent to their purchase.

There were no sales of securities—trading during the six months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021. There were no securities—trading in a nonaccrual status at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.  Net unrealized holding gains of $905,000 were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $117,000 of net unrealized holding gains recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The following table presents gross gains and losses on sales and partial calls of securities available-for-sale (in thousands):

The Company monitors the credit quality of held-to-maturity debt securities through the use of credit ratings which are reviewed and updated quarterly. The Company’s non-rated held-to-maturity debt securities are primarily United States government sponsored enterprise debentures carrying minimal to no credit risk. The non-rated corporate bonds primarily consist of Community Reinvestment Act related bonds secured by loan instruments from low to moderate income borrowers. The remaining non-rated held-to-maturity debt securities balance is comprised of local municipal debt from within the Company’s geographic footprint and is monitored through quarterly or annual financial review. This municipal debt is predominately essential service or unlimited general obligation backed debt. The following tables summarize the amortized cost of held-to-maturity debt securities by credit rating at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

LOANS RECEIVABLE AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

LOANS RECEIVABLE AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES - LOANS

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company changed the segmentation of its Small Balance CRE loan category based on the common risk characteristics used to measure the allowance for credit losses. The presentation of loans receivable at December 31, 2021 has been updated to match the segmentation used in the current period presentation. The following table presents the loans receivable at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 by class (dollars in thousands).

Less allowance for credit losses – loans	(128,702)				(132,099)
Net loans	$	9,328,127			$	8,952,664

(1)    Includes $30.7 million and $132.6 million of U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

(2)    Includes $356,000 of SBA PPP loans as of June 30, 2022 and $1.4 million as of December 31, 2021.

Loan amounts are net of unearned loan fees in excess of unamortized costs of $8.2 million as of June 30, 2022 and $8.6 million as of December 31, 2021. Net loans include net discounts on acquired loans of $7.7 million and $9.7 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Net loans does not include accrued interest receivable. Accrued interest receivable on loans was $30.0 million as of June 30, 2022 and $29.2 million as of December 31, 2021 and was reported in accrued interest receivable on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Purchased credit-deteriorated and purchased non-credit-deteriorated loans. Loans acquired in business combinations are recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date. Acquired loans are evaluated upon acquisition and classified as either purchased credit-deteriorated (PCD) or purchased non-credit-deteriorated. There were no PCD loans acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Troubled Debt Restructurings. Loans are reported as troubled debt restructures (TDRs) when the bank grants one or more concessions to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties that it would not otherwise consider.  Our TDRs have generally not involved forgiveness of amounts due, but almost always include a modification of multiple factors; the most common combination includes interest rate, payment amount and maturity date.

The Company had $4.4 million and $5.5 million of TDRs as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As of both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no commitments to advance additional funds related to TDRs.

There were no new TDRs that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2022 or June 30, 2021.

There were no TDRs which incurred a payment default within 12 months of the restructure date during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. A default on a TDR results in either a transfer to nonaccrual status or a partial charge-off, or both.

Credit Quality Indicators:  To appropriately and effectively manage the ongoing credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management has implemented a risk-rating or loan grading system for its loans.  The system is a tool to evaluate portfolio asset quality throughout each applicable loan’s life as an asset of the Company.  Generally, loans are risk rated on an aggregate borrower/relationship basis with individual loans sharing similar ratings.  There are some instances when specific situations relating to individual loans will provide the basis for different risk ratings within the aggregate relationship.  Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 9.  A description of the general characteristics of these categories is shown below:

Overall Risk Rating Definitions:  Risk-ratings contain both qualitative and quantitative measurements and take into account the financial strength of a borrower and the structure of the loan or lease.  Consequently, the definitions are to be applied in the context of each lending transaction and judgment must also be used to determine the appropriate risk rating, as it is not unusual for a loan or lease to exhibit characteristics of more than one risk-rating category.  Consideration for the final rating is centered in the borrower’s ability to repay, in a timely fashion, both principal and interest.  The Company’s risk-rating and loan grading policies are reviewed and approved annually. There were no material changes in the risk-rating or loan grading system for the periods presented.

Risk Ratings 1-5: Pass

Credits with risk ratings of 1 to 5 meet the definition of a pass risk rating. The strength of credits vary within the pass risk ratings, ranging from a risk rated 1 being an exceptional credit to a risk rated 5 being an acceptable credit that requires a more than normal level of supervision.

Risk Rating 6: Special Mention

A credit with potential weaknesses that deserves management’s close attention is risk rated a 6.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses will result in deterioration in the capacity to repay debt.  A key distinction between Special Mention and Substandard is that in a Special Mention credit, there are identified weaknesses that pose potential risk(s) to the repayment sources, versus well defined weaknesses that pose risk(s) to the repayment sources.  Assets in this category are expected to be in this category no more than 9-12 months as the potential weaknesses in the credit are resolved.

Risk Rating 7: Substandard

A credit with well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the ability to repay in full is risk rated a 7.  These credits are inadequately protected by either the sound net worth and payment capacity of the borrower or the value of pledged collateral.  These are credits with a distinct possibility of loss.  Loans headed for foreclosure and/or legal action due to deterioration are rated 7 or worse.

Risk Rating 8: Doubtful

A credit with an extremely high probability of loss is risk rated 8.  These credits have all the same critical weaknesses that are found in a substandard loan; however, the weaknesses are elevated to the point that based upon current information, collection or liquidation in full is improbable.  While some loss on doubtful credits is expected, pending events may make the amount and timing of any loss indeterminable.  In these situations taking the loss is inappropriate until the outcome of the pending event is clear.

Risk Rating 9: Loss

A credit that is considered to be currently uncollectible or of such little value that it is no longer a viable bank asset is risk rated 9.  Losses should be taken in the accounting period in which the credit is determined to be uncollectible.  Taking a loss does not mean that a credit has absolutely no recovery or salvage value but, rather, it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the credit, even though partial recovery may occur in the future.

The following tables present the Company’s portfolio of risk-rated loans by class and by grade as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands). Revolving loans that are converted to term loans are treated as new originations in the table below and are presented by year of origination. Term loans that are renewed or extended for periods longer than 90 days are presented as a new origination in the year of the most recent renewal or extension.

GOODWILL, OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

GOODWILL, OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

GOODWILL, OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:  At June 30, 2022, intangible assets are comprised of goodwill and CDI acquired in business combinations. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration paid over the fair value of the assets acquired, net of the fair values of liabilities assumed in a business combination, and is not amortized but is reviewed at least annually for impairment. Banner has identified one reporting unit for purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment. The Company completed an assessment of qualitative factors as of December 31, 2021 and concluded that no further analysis was required as it is more likely than not that the fair value of Banner Bank, the reporting unit, exceeds the carrying value.

CDI represents the value of transaction-related deposits and the value of the client relationships associated with the deposits. The Company amortizes CDI assets over their estimated useful lives and reviews them at least annually for events or circumstances that could impair their value. 

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s goodwill and other intangibles for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

	Goodwill		CDI		Total
Balance, December 31, 2020	$	373,121	$	21,426	$	394,547
Amortization	—		(6,571)		(6,571)

(1)    Acquired CDI was adjusted for the sale of branches in 2022.

The following table presents the estimated amortization expense with respect to CDI as of June 30, 2022 for the periods indicated (in thousands):

	Estimated Amortization
Remainder of 2022	$	2,430

2026	904

	$	11,870

Mortgage Servicing Rights:  Mortgage and SBA servicing rights are reported in other assets.  SBA servicing rights are initially recorded and carried at fair value. Mortgage servicing rights are initially recognized at fair value and are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets.  Mortgage servicing rights are subsequently evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights compared to the amortized cost (remaining unamortized initial fair value).  If the fair value is less than the amortized cost, a valuation allowance is created through an impairment charge to servicing fee income.  However, if the fair value is greater than the amortized cost, the amount above the amortized cost is not recognized in the carrying value.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record any impairment charges or recoveries against mortgage servicing rights. The unpaid principal balance of loans for which mortgage and SBA servicing rights have been recognized totaled $2.83 billion and $2.77 billion at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.  Custodial accounts maintained in connection with this servicing totaled $18.5 million and $3.2 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

An analysis of the mortgage and SBA servicing rights for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is presented below (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021

Balance, end of the period (2)	$	17,633	$	15,612	17,633		$	15,612

(1)    Amortization of mortgage servicing rights is recorded as a reduction of loan servicing income within mortgage banking operations and any unamortized balance is fully amortized if the loan repays in full.

(2)    There was no valuation allowance on mortgage servicing rights as of both June 30, 2022 and 2021.

REO properties are recorded at the estimated fair value of the property, less expected selling costs, establishing a new cost basis.  Subsequently, REO properties are carried at the lower of the new cost basis or updated fair market values, based on updated appraisals of the underlying properties, as received.  Valuation allowances on the carrying value of REO may be recognized based on updated appraisals or on management’s authorization to reduce the selling price of a property. The Company had no foreclosed one- to four-family residential real estate properties held as REO at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company had $667,000 and $609,000 of one- to four-family residential loans in the process of foreclosure at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021

The Company measures and discloses certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale). GAAP establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. Among other things, accounting standards require us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s estimates for market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. An active market is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.

•Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 including quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, quoted prices in less active markets for identical or similar instruments, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.

•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity for financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation; also includes observable inputs from non-binding single dealer quotes not corroborated by observable market data. In developing Level 3 measurements, management incorporates whatever market data

might be available and uses discounted cash flow models where appropriate. These calculations include projections of future cash flows, including appropriate default and loss assumptions, and market-based discount rates

The estimated fair value amounts of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize at a future date. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. In addition, reasonable comparability between financial institutions may not be likely due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates that must be made given the absence of active secondary markets for many of the financial instruments. This lack of uniform valuation methodologies also introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair values. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to occur at the end of the reporting period.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

The following tables present financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy of the fair value measurements for those assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

(1)    The unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans held for sale carried at fair value was $9.9 million and $38.6 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments above:

Securities:  The estimated fair values of investment securities and mortgaged-backed securities are priced using current active market quotes, if available, which are considered Level 1 measurements.  For most of the portfolio, matrix pricing based on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices is used to establish the fair value.  These measurements are considered Level 2.  Due to the continued limited activity in the trust preferred markets that have limited the observability of market spreads for some of the Company’s TPS securities, management has classified these securities as a Level 3 fair value measure. Management periodically reviews the pricing information received from third-party pricing services and tests those prices against other sources to validate the reported fair values.

Loans Held for Sale: Fair values for residential mortgage loans held for sale are determined by comparing actual loan rates to current secondary market prices for similar loans.

Equity Securities: Equity securities at June 30, 2022 are invested in a publicly traded stock. The fair value of these securities are based on daily quoted market prices.

Mortgage Servicing Rights: Fair values are estimated based on an independent dealer analysis of discounted cash flows.  The evaluation utilizes assumptions market participants would use in determining fair value including prepayment speeds, delinquency and foreclosure rates, the discount rate, servicing costs, and the timing of cash flows.  The mortgage servicing portfolio is stratified by loan type and fair value estimates are adjusted up or down based on the serviced loan interest rates versus current rates on new loan originations since the most recent independent analysis.

SBA Servicing Rights: Fair values are estimated based on an independent dealer analysis by discounting estimated net future cash flows from servicing. The evaluation utilizes assumptions market participants would use in determining fair value including prepayment speeds, delinquency and foreclosure rates, the discount rate, servicing costs, and the timing of cash flows.  The SBA servicing portfolio is stratified by

loan type and fair value estimates are adjusted up or down based on the serviced loan interest rates versus current rates on new loan originations since the most recent independent analysis.

Junior Subordinated Debentures:  The fair value of junior subordinated debentures is estimated using an income approach technique. The significant inputs included in the estimation of fair value are the credit risk adjusted spread and three month LIBOR. The credit risk adjusted spread represents the nonperformance risk of the liability. The Company utilizes an external valuation firm to validate the reasonableness of the credit risk adjusted spread used to determine the fair value. The junior subordinated debentures are carried at fair value which represents the estimated amount that would be paid to transfer these liabilities in an orderly transaction amongst market participants. Due to inactivity in the trust preferred markets that have limited the observability of market spreads, management has classified this as a Level 3 fair value measure.

Derivatives: Derivatives include interest rate swap agreements, interest rate lock commitments to originate loans held for sale and forward sales contracts to sell loans and securities related to mortgage banking activities. Fair values for these instruments, which generally change as a result of changes in the level of market interest rates, are estimated based on dealer quotes and secondary market sources.

Off-Balance Sheet Items: Off-balance sheet financial instruments include unfunded commitments to extend credit, including standby letters of credit, and commitments to purchase investment securities. The fair value of these instruments is not considered to be material.

Limitations: The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.  The factors used in the fair value estimates are subject to change subsequent to the dates the fair value estimates are completed, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3):

The following table provides a description of the valuation technique, unobservable inputs, and quantitative and qualitative information about the unobservable inputs for the Company’s assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 and measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

			Weighted Average Rate / Range
Financial Instruments	Valuation Technique	Unobservable Inputs	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Corporate bonds (TPS securities)	Discounted cash flows	Discount rate	5.79	%	3.71	%
Junior subordinated debentures	Discounted cash flows	Discount rate	5.79	%	3.71	%
Loans individually evaluated	Collateral valuations	Discount to appraised value	9.5%		8.5% to 20.0%
REO	Appraisals	Discount to appraised value	68.35	%	60.91	%
Interest rate lock commitments	Pricing model	Pull-through rate	88.95	%	86.64	%
Investments in limited partnerships	Net Asset Value	Infrequent transactions	n/a		n/a
SBA servicing rights	Discounted cash flows	Constant prepayment rate	16.16%		12.25%

TPS Securities: Management believes that the credit risk-adjusted spread used to develop the discount rate utilized in the fair value measurement of TPS securities is indicative of the risk premium a willing market participant would require under current market conditions for instruments with similar contractual rates and terms and conditions and issuers with similar credit risk profiles and with similar expected probability of default. Management attributes the change in fair value of these instruments, compared to their par value, primarily to perceived general market adjustments to the risk premiums for these types of assets subsequent to their issuance.

Junior subordinated debentures: Similar to the TPS securities discussed above, management believes that the credit risk-adjusted spread utilized in the fair value measurement of the junior subordinated debentures is indicative of the risk premium a willing market participant would require under current market conditions for an issuer with Banner’s credit risk profile. Management attributes the change in fair value of the junior subordinated debentures, compared to their par value, primarily to perceived general market adjustments to the risk premiums for these types of liabilities subsequent to their issuance. Future contractions in the risk adjusted spread relative to the spread currently utilized to measure the Company’s junior subordinated debentures at fair value as of June 30, 2022, or the passage of time, will result in negative fair value adjustments. At June 30, 2022, the discount rate utilized was based on a credit spread of 350 basis points and three-month LIBOR of 229 basis points.

Interest rate lock commitments: The fair value of the interest rate lock commitments is based on secondary market sources adjusted for an estimated pull-through rate. The pull-through rate is based on historical loan closing rates for similar interest rate lock commitments. An increase or decrease in the pull-through rate would have a corresponding, positive or negative fair value adjustment.

SBA servicing asset: The constant prepayment rate (CPR) is set based on industry data. An increase in the CPR would result in a negative fair value adjustment, where a decrease in CPR would result in a positive fair value adjustment.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on a recurring basis during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Interest income and dividends from the TPS securities are recorded as a component of interest income. Interest expense related to the junior subordinated debentures is measured based on contractual interest rates and reported in interest expense.  The change in fair value of the

junior subordinated debentures, which represents changes in instrument specific credit risk, is recorded in other comprehensive income. The change in fair value of the investment in limited partnerships and the SBA servicing asset are recorded as a component of non-interest income.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis:

The following tables present financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy of the fair value measurements for those assets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

Loans individually evaluated: Expected credit losses for loans evaluated individually are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate or when the Bank determines that foreclosure is probable, the expected credit loss is measured based on the fair value of the collateral as of the reporting date, less estimated selling costs, as applicable. As a practical expedient, the Bank measures the expected credit loss for a loan using the fair value of the collateral, if repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty based on the Bank’s assessment as of the reporting date. In both cases, if the fair value of the collateral is less than the amortized cost basis of the loan, the Bank will recognize an allowance as the difference between the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell (if applicable) at the reporting date and the amortized cost basis of the loan. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost basis of the loan, any expected recovery added to the amortized cost basis will be limited to the amount previously charged-off by the subsequent changes in the expected credit losses for loans evaluated individually are included within the provision for credit losses in the same manner in which the expected credit loss initially was recognized or as a reduction in the provision that would otherwise be reported.

REO: The Company records REO (acquired through a lending relationship) at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Fair value adjustments on REO are based on updated real estate appraisals which are based on current market conditions. All REO properties are recorded at the lower of the estimated fair value of the real estate, less expected selling costs, or the carrying amount of the defaulted loans. From time to time, non-recurring fair value adjustments to REO are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on an observable market price or current appraised value of property. Banner considers any valuation inputs related to REO to be Level 3 inputs. The individual carrying values of these assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually and any additional impairment charges are expensed to operations.

Loans held for sale: The multifamily held for sale loans are carried at the lower of cost or market. Lower of cost or market adjustments for multifamily loans held for sale are calculated based on discounted cash flows using a discount rate that is a combination of market spreads for similar loan types added to selected index rates. If the fair value of the multifamily held for sale loans is lower than the amortized cost basis of the loans, a net unrealized loss is recognized through the valuation allowance by charges to income.

INCOME TAXES AND DEFERRED TAXES

INCOME TAXES AND DEFERRED TAXES

The Company files a consolidated income tax return including all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries on a calendar year basis. Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities are expected to be reported in the Company’s income tax returns. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period of change. A valuation allowance is recognized as a reduction to deferred tax assets when management determines it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be available to offset future income tax liabilities.

Accounting standards for income taxes prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provide guidance on the de-recognition of previously recorded benefits and their classification, as well as the proper recording of interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transition. The Company periodically reviews its income tax positions based on tax laws and regulations and financial reporting considerations, and records adjustments as appropriate. This review takes into consideration the status of current taxing authorities’ examinations of the Company’s tax returns, recent positions taken by the taxing authorities on similar transactions, if any, and the overall tax environment.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has recognized $1.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions. The Company does not anticipate that there are additional uncertain tax positions or that any uncertain tax position which has not been recognized would materially affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax expense. The Company files consolidated income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in the Oregon, California, Utah, Idaho and Montana state jurisdictions.

Tax credit investments: The Company invests in low income housing tax credit funds that are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of federal tax credits. The Company accounts for these investments by amortizing the cost of tax credit investments over the life of the investment using a proportional amortization method and tax credit investment amortization expense is a component of the provision for income taxes.

The following table presents the balances of the Company’s tax credit investments and related unfunded commitments at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk — The Company has financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk generated in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our clients.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commitments related to standby letters of credit, commitments to originate loans, commitments to sell loans, commitments to buy and sell securities.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk similar to the risk involved in on-balance-sheet items recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument from commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments.  We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Outstanding commitments for which no asset or liability for the notional amount has been recorded consisted of the following at the dates indicated (in thousands):

	Contract or Notional Amount
	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Commitments to extend credit	$	3,978,288	$	3,527,143
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees	35,579		21,830
Commitments to originate loans	242,651		106,609
Risk participation agreements	53,159		40,064
Derivatives also included in Note 13:
Commitments to originate loans held for sale	34,791		106,590
Commitments to sell loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties	6,775		27,006
Commitments to sell securities related to mortgage banking activities	40,000		127,580

In addition to the commitments disclosed in the table above, the Company is committed to funding its’ unfunded tax credit investments (see Note 9, Income Taxes). The Company has also entered into agreements to invest in several limited partnerships. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the funded balances and remaining outstanding commitments of these investments were as follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
	Funded Balance		Unfunded Balance		Funded Balance		Unfunded Balance
Limited partnerships investments	$	8,738	$	10,762	$	7,642	$	9,858

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client, as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Many of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each client’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the client. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income producing commercial properties. The Company’s allowance for credit losses - unfunded loan commitments at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $14.2 million and $12.4 million, respectively.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee a client’s performance or payment to a third party.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to clients. Under a risk participation agreement, Banner Bank guarantees the financial performance of a borrower on the participated portion of an interest rate swap on a loan.

Interest rates on residential one- to four-family mortgage loan applications are typically rate locked (committed) to clients during the application stage for periods ranging from 30 to 60 days, the most typical period being 45 days. Traditionally, these loan applications with rate lock commitments had the pricing for the sale of these loans locked with various qualified investors under a best-efforts delivery program at or near the time the interest rate is locked with the client. Banner Bank then attempts to deliver these loans before their rate locks expired. This arrangement generally required delivery of the loans prior to the expiration of the rate lock. Delays in funding the loans would require a lock extension. The cost of a lock extension at times was borne by the client and at times by Banner Bank. These lock extension costs have not had a material impact to the Company’s operations. For mandatory delivery commitments the Company enters into forward commitments at specific prices and settlement dates to deliver either: (1) residential mortgage loans for purchase by secondary market investors (i.e., Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae), or (2) mortgage-backed securities to broker/dealers. The purpose of these forward commitments is to offset the movement in interest rates between the execution of its residential mortgage rate lock commitments with borrowers and the sale of those loans to the secondary market investor. There were no counterparty default losses on forward contracts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 or June 30, 2021. Market risk with respect to forward contracts arises principally from changes in the value of contractual positions due to changes in interest rates. The Company limits its exposure to market risk by monitoring differences between commitments to clients and forward contracts with market investors and securities broker/dealers. In the event the Company has forward delivery contract commitments in excess of available mortgage loans, the transaction is completed by either paying or receiving a fee to or from the investor or broker/dealer equal to the increase or decrease in the market value of the forward contract.

In the normal course of business, the Company and/or its subsidiaries have various legal proceedings and other contingent matters outstanding.  These proceedings and the associated legal claims are often contested and the outcome of individual matters is not always predictable.  These claims and counter-claims typically arise during the course of collection efforts on problem loans or with respect to action to enforce liens on properties in which the Bank holds a security interest.  Based upon the information known to management at this time, the Company and the Bank are not a party to any legal proceedings that management believes would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or consolidated financial position at June 30, 2022.

In connection with certain asset sales, the Bank typically makes representations and warranties about the underlying assets conforming to specified guidelines.  If the underlying assets do not conform to the specifications, the Bank may have an obligation to repurchase the assets or indemnify the purchaser against any loss.  The Bank believes that the potential for material loss under these arrangements is remote.  Accordingly, the fair value of such obligations is not material.

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

The Company, through its Banner Bank subsidiary, is party to various derivative instruments that are used for asset and liability management and client financing needs. Derivative instruments are contracts between two or more parties that have a notional amount and an underlying variable, require no net investment and allow for the net settlement of positions. The notional amount serves as the basis for the payment provision of the contract and takes the form of units, such as shares or dollars. The underlying variable represents a specified interest rate, index, or other component. The interaction between the notional amount and the underlying variable determines the number of units to be exchanged between the parties and influences the market value of the derivative contract. The Company obtains dealer quotations to value its derivative contracts.

The Company’s predominant derivative and hedging activities involve interest rate swaps related to certain term loans and forward sales contracts associated with mortgage banking activities. Generally, these instruments help the Company manage exposure to market risk and meet client financing needs. Market risk represents the possibility that economic value or net interest income will be adversely affected by fluctuations in external factors such as market-driven interest rates and prices or other economic factors.

Derivatives Designated in Hedge Relationships

Interest Rate Swaps with Dealer Counterparties: The Company’s fixed-rate loans result in exposure to losses in value or net interest income as interest rates change. The risk management objective for hedging fixed-rate loans is to effectively convert the fixed-rate received to a floating rate. The Company has hedged exposure to changes in the fair value of certain fixed-rate loans through the use of interest rate swaps. For a qualifying fair value hedge, changes in the value of the derivatives are recognized in current period earnings along with the corresponding changes in the fair value of the designated hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged.

Under a prior program, clients received fixed interest rate commercial loans and Banner Bank subsequently hedged that fixed-rate loan by entering into an interest rate swap with a dealer counterparty. Banner Bank receives fixed-rate payments from the clients on the loans and makes similar fixed-rate payments to the dealer counterparty on the swaps in exchange for variable-rate payments based on the one-month LIBOR index. Some of these interest rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges. Through application of the “short cut method of accounting,” there is an assumption that the hedges are effective. Banner Bank discontinued originating interest rate swaps under this program in 2008.

Interest Rate Swaps used in Cash Flow Hedges:

The Company’s floating rate loans result in exposure to losses in value or net interest income as interest rates change. The risk management objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to reduce volatility in net interest income and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company entered into interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing floating rate loans. These hedge contracts involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making floating-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the unrealized gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and subsequently reclassified into interest income in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income as interest payments are made on the Corporation’s variable-rate assets. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $8.8 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest income.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the notional values or contractual amounts and fair values of the Company’s derivatives designated in hedge relationships were as follows (in thousands):

	Asset Derivatives								Liability Derivatives

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 we had recorded total net unrealized losses on cash flow hedges in AOCI, net of taxes of $15.1 million and $958,000, respectively.

Derivatives Not Designated in Hedge Relationships

Interest Rate Swaps: Banner Bank uses an interest rate swap program for commercial loan clients, that provides the client with a variable-rate loan and enters into an interest rate swap in which the client receives a variable-rate payment in exchange for a fixed-rate payment. The Bank offsets its risk exposure by entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with a dealer counterparty for the same notional amount and length of term as the client interest rate swap providing the dealer counterparty with a fixed-rate payment in exchange for a variable-rate payment. These swaps do not qualify as designated hedges; therefore, each swap is accounted for as a freestanding derivative.

Risk Participation Agreements: In conjunction with the purchase or sale of participating interests in loans, the Company also participates in related swaps through risk participation agreements. The existing credit derivatives resulting from these participations are not designated as hedges as they are not used to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s assets or liabilities and are not speculative.

Mortgage Banking: The Company sells originated one- to four-family mortgage loans into the secondary mortgage loan markets. During the period of loan origination and prior to the sale of the loans in the secondary market, the Company has exposure to movements in interest rates associated with written interest rate lock commitments with potential borrowers to originate one- to four-family loans that are intended to be sold and for closed one- to four-family mortgage loans held for sale for which fair value accounting has been elected, that are awaiting sale and delivery into the secondary market. The Company economically hedges the risk of changing interest rates associated with these mortgage loan commitments by entering into forward sales contracts to sell one- to four-family mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities to broker/dealers at specific prices and dates.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the notional values or contractual amounts and fair values of the Company’s derivatives not designated in hedge relationships were as follows (in thousands):

	Asset Derivatives								Liability Derivatives

(2)Included in Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Gains (losses) recognized in income on non-designated hedging instruments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (in thousands):

	Location on Consolidated Statements of Operations	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
		2022		2021		2022		2021
Mortgage loan commitments	Mortgage banking operations	$	1,889	$	(363)	$	(1,110)	$	(2,646)

		$	(398)	$	(2,235)	$	(1,111)	$	(1,507)

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to these agreements. Credit risk of the financial contract is controlled through the credit approval, limits, and monitoring procedures and management does not expect the counterparties to fail their obligations.

In connection with the interest rate swaps between Banner Bank and the dealer counterparties, the agreements contain a provision where if Banner Bank fails to maintain its status as a well/adequately capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and Banner Bank would be required to settle its obligations. Similarly, Banner Bank could be required to settle its obligations under certain of its agreements if specific regulatory events occur, such as a publicly issued prompt corrective action directive, cease and desist order, or a capital maintenance agreement that required Banner Bank to maintain a specific capital level. If Banner Bank had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the termination value of derivatives in a net liability position related to these agreements was $8,000 and $24.9 million, respectively. The Company generally posts collateral against derivative liabilities in the form of cash, government agency-issued bonds, mortgage-backed securities, or commercial mortgage-backed securities. Collateral posted against derivative liabilities was $26.0 million and $45.8 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Derivative assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet. Master netting agreements allow the Company to settle all derivative contracts held with a single counterparty on a net basis and to offset net derivative positions with related collateral where applicable. In addition, some of interest rate swap derivatives between Banner Bank and the dealer counterparties are cleared through central clearing houses. These clearing houses characterize the variation margin payments as settlements of the derivative’s market exposure and not as collateral. The variation margin is treated as an adjustment to our cash collateral, as well as a corresponding adjustment to our derivative liability. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the variation margin adjustment was a negative adjustment of $8.9 million and $10.7 million, respectively.

Deposit fees and other service charges

Deposit fees and other service charges include transaction and non-transaction based deposit fees. Transaction based fees on deposit accounts are charged to deposit clients for specific services provided to the client. These fees include such items as wire fees, official check fees, and overdraft fees. These are contract specific to each individual transaction and do not extend beyond the individual transaction. The performance obligation is completed and the fees are recognized at the time the specific transactional service is provided to the client. Non-transactional deposit fees are typically monthly account maintenance fees charged on deposit accounts. These are day-to-day contracts that can be canceled by either party without notice. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are recognized on a monthly basis after the service period is completed.

Debit and credit card interchange income and expenses

Debit and credit card interchange income represent fees earned when a debit or credit card issued by the Bank is used to purchase goods or services at a merchant. The merchant’s bank pays the Bank a default interchange rate set by MasterCard on a transaction by transaction basis. The merchant acquiring bank can stop accepting the Bank’s cards at any time and the Bank can stop further use of cards issued by them at any time. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are earned when the cost of the transaction is charged to the Bank’s cardholders’ card. Direct expenses associated with the credit and debit card are recorded as a net reduction against the interchange income.

Merchant services income

Merchant services income represents fees earned by the Bank for card payment services provided to its merchant clients. The Bank has a contract with a third party to provide card payment services to the Bank’s merchants that contract for those services. The third party provider has contracts with the Bank’s merchants to provide the card payment services. The Bank does not have a direct contractual relationship with its merchants for these services. The Bank sets the rates for the services provided by the third party. The third party provider passes the payments made by the Bank’s merchants through to the Bank. The Bank, in turn, pays the third party provider for the services it provides to the Bank’s merchants. These payments to the third party provider are recorded as expenses as a net reduction against fee income. In addition, a portion of the payment received by the Bank represents interchange fees which are passed through to the card issuing bank. Income is primarily earned based on the dollar volume and number of transactions processed. The performance obligation is satisfied and the related fee is earned when each payment is accepted by the processing network.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Banner Corporation (the Company or Banner), a bank holding company incorporated in the State of Washington and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Banner Bank (the Bank).

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2022 for potential recognition or disclosure. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Certain information and note disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and the accounting standards for interim financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2021 Consolidated Financial Statements and/or schedules to conform to the 2022 presentation. These reclassifications may have affected certain ratios for the prior periods. The effect of these reclassifications is considered immaterial. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. Various elements of the Company’s accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. In particular, management has identified several accounting policies that, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of Banner’s consolidated financial statements.  These policies relate to (i) the methodology for the recognition of interest income, (ii) determination of the provision and allowance for credit losses, (iii) the valuation of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, (iv) the valuation of intangible assets, such as goodwill, core deposit intangibles (CDI) and loan servicing rights, (v) the valuation of real estate held for sale, (vi) the valuation or recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities, (vii) the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations and subsequent recognition of related income and expense and (viii) the determination of estimated losses from legal proceedings and other contingent matters pending. These policies and judgments, estimates and assumptions are described in greater detail in subsequent notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Critical Accounting Policies) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC (2021 Form 10-K).  There have been no significant changes in our application of these accounting policies during the first six months of 2022.

The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our 2021 Form 10-K.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period.

Debt Instrument, Credit Rating

The Company monitors the credit quality of held-to-maturity debt securities through the use of credit ratings which are reviewed and updated quarterly. The Company’s non-rated held-to-maturity debt securities are primarily United States government sponsored enterprise debentures carrying minimal to no credit risk. The non-rated corporate bonds primarily consist of Community Reinvestment Act related bonds secured by loan instruments from low to moderate income borrowers. The remaining non-rated held-to-maturity debt securities balance is comprised of local municipal debt from within the Company’s geographic footprint and is monitored through quarterly or annual financial review. This municipal debt is predominately essential service or unlimited general obligation backed debt. The following tables summarize the amortized cost of held-to-maturity debt securities by credit rating at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):
