FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS



Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not
historical facts or that discuss our expectations, beliefs or views regarding
our future operations or future financial performance, or financial or other
trends in our business or in the markets in which we operate, and our future
plans, including the credit exposure of certain loan products and other
components of our business that could be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic,
constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Many forward-looking statements can be identified as using words such as
"anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan,"
"potential," "should," "will" and "would" and similar expressions (or the
negative of these terms). Such statements involve inherent risks and
uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond
the control of the Company and are subject to risks and uncertainties,
including, but not limited to, those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2019, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the first and second quarters of 2020, and the risks and uncertainties discussed
below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in
Item 1A of Part II, "Risk Factors," that could cause actual results to differ
significantly from those projected. In addition, many of the risks and
uncertainties are, and will be, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and any
worsening of the global, national, regional and local business and economic
environment as a result.

Although we believe that expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of
activity, performance or achievements. We undertake no obligation to, and
expressly disclaim any such obligation to update, or clarify any of the
forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated
events, new information or changes to future results over time or otherwise,
except as required by law. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Except as otherwise noted, references to "we," "our," "us" or "the Company" refer to HomeStreet, Inc. and its subsidiaries that are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Statements of knowledge, intention or belief reflect those characteristics of our executive management team based on current facts and circumstances.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



Our significant accounting policies are fundamental to understanding our results
of operations and financial condition because they require that we use estimates
and assumptions that may affect the value of our assets or liabilities and
financial results. Certain of these policies are critical because they require
management to make subjective and complex judgments about matters that are
inherently uncertain and because it is likely that materially different amounts
would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.
These policies govern:
•Allowance for credit losses ("ACL") for loans held for investment ("LHFI")
•Fair value of financial instruments and single family mortgage servicing rights
("MSRs")

These policies and estimates are described in further detail in Part II, Item 7-
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, within our
2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies within this Form 10-Q.

Overview and Current Developments
COVID-19 Pandemic
The outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely impacted a broad range of industries
across the region where the Company's customers operate and could impair their
ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company. The World Health
Organization has declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic and as a result
almost all public commerce and related business activities have been and
continue to be, to varying degrees, curtailed with the goal of decreasing the
rate of new infections. The spread of the outbreak has caused significant
disruptions in the U.S. economy and has disrupted business and other financial
activity in the areas in which the Company operates.
Congress, the President and the Federal Reserve have taken several actions
designed to cushion the economic fallout related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Most
notably, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security ("CARES") Act was
signed into law at the end of March 2020 as a $2 trillion legislative package,
which was further expanded in April 2020 by $484 billion. The goal of the CARES
Act is to prevent a severe economic downturn through various measures, including
direct financial aid to American families and economic stimulus to significantly
impacted industry sectors. The package also includes extensive emergency funding
for hospitals and health care providers.

We evaluated goodwill for impairment at June 30, 2020 and based on our
impairment assessment determined our goodwill assets were not impaired.
The Company has implemented a business continuity plan that includes a remote
working strategy and a social distancing and sanitation plan. No material
operational failures or internal control challenges have been identified to
date. The Company has taken significant measures to protect its employees, such
as having most work remotely and where remote work is not viable, implementing a
social distancing and sanitation plan. At September 30, 2020, all of our retail
deposit branches were open to serve our customers by appointment only and
operating under the guidelines issued by Federal, state, and regional health
departments.
In keeping with regulatory guidance to work with borrowers during this
unprecedented situation and as outlined in the CARES Act, the Company has
executed multiple assistance programs, including a loan forbearance program for
its lending customers that are adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. As
of September 30, 2020, the Company had an outstanding balance of $206 million
for 375 qualifying loans approved for forbearance (excluding any SBA guaranteed
loans for which the government made payments as provided for under the CARES
Act, or single family loans that are guaranteed by FHA or VA). In accordance
with the CARES Act and interagency guidance issued in March 2020, loans granted
forbearance due to COVID-19 are not currently considered troubled debt
restructurings under US GAAP.
With the passage of the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), administered by the
Small Business Administration ("SBA"), the Company assisted its customers with
applications for resources through the program. PPP loans generally have
a two-year term and bear interest at 1%. Additionally, the Company was paid fees
by the SBA based upon the sliding fee scale established for the PPP program. The
weighted average fee for these loans was 3.3% and the Company will recognize
these fees over the contractual life of the related loan, which will be
accelerated if the loan is paid off prior to its maturity. The Company believes
that a significant portion of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA
in accordance with the terms of the program. As of September 30, 2020, the
Company has closed or approved with the SBA, 1,822 PPP loans representing $298
million in outstanding balances. The loans funded through the PPP program are
fully guaranteed by the U.S. government.

Other Items
As part of our capital management strategy, for year to date through October 31,
2020, we repurchased a total of 2,205,665 shares of our common stock at an
average price of $26.31 per share.

Management's Overview of the Third Quarter of 2020 Financial Performance



Discontinued Operations: Results for the first quarter of 2019 reflect the
impact of the adoption of a plan of exit or disposal, announced in the first
quarter of 2019, with respect to the stand-alone home loan center-based mortgage
origination and related servicing businesses classified as discontinued
operations. Discontinued operations reported in the first quarter of 2019
included our entire mortgage banking business as did all prior periods
presented. Effective April 1, 2019, the reorganized bank location-based mortgage
banking business commenced operations and the associated direct revenues and
direct expenses are reported as part of the Company's continuing operations
beginning in the second quarter of 2019 and thereafter. Discontinued operations
accounting was concluded as of January 1, 2020.


Results of Operations

Third Quarter of 2020 Compared to the Third Quarter of 2019



General: Our income from continuing operations and income from continuing
operations before income taxes were $26.3 million and $33.8 million,
respectively, in the third quarter of 2020, as compared to $13.7 million and
$16.0 million, respectively, during the third quarter of 2019. The $17.8 million
increase in income from continuing operations before income taxes was due to
higher net interest income and higher noninterest income which were partially
offset by higher noninterest expense.

Income Taxes: Our effective tax rate during the third quarter of 2020 was 22.0%
as compared to 14.6% in the third quarter of 2019 for continuing operations and
a statutory rate of 23.7%. Our effective tax rate was lower than our statutory
rate due primarily to the benefits of tax advantaged investments. In the third
quarter of 2019, the benefits of tax advantaged investments were a higher
proportion of total earnings, resulting in a lower effective tax rate.

Net Interest Income: The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated,
information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest income from
interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields on those assets; (ii)
the total dollar amount of interest expense and the average rate of interest on
our interest-bearing liabilities; (iii) net interest income; (iv) net interest
rate spread; and (v) net yield on interest-earning assets:

(1)  Cost of all deposits, including noninterest-bearing demand deposits was
0.42% and 1.41% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
(2)  Includes taxable-equivalent adjustments primarily related to tax-exempt
income on certain loans and securities of $919 thousand and $458 thousand for
the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The estimated
federal statutory tax rate was 21% for the periods presented.

Net interest income was higher in the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the
third quarter of 2019 because our net interest margin increased to 3.20%
primarily due to a 47 basis point increase in our net interest rate spread. Our
costs of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 1.81% in the third quarter
of 2019 to 0.62% in the third quarter of 2020 due to a decrease in market
interest rates which allowed us to reprice our deposits and borrowings at lower
rates. The benefit of these lower funding costs was partially offset by lower
yields on interest earning assets. The 72 basis point decrease in yield on
interest earning assets was due to the origination of loans and purchases of
securities with rates below our current portfolio rates, the ongoing repricing
of variable rate loans and the prepayment and paydown of higher yielding loans
and investments from our portfolios.

Provision for Credit Losses: As a result of the adoption of CECL on January 1,
2020, there is a lack of comparability in the both the reserves and provisions
for credit losses for the periods presented. Results for reporting periods
beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented using the CECL methodology, while
comparative information continues to be reported in accordance with the incurred
loss methodology in effect for prior periods. We had no provision for credit
losses for the third quarters of 2020 and 2019.

(1)Represents changes due to collection/realization of expected cash flows and
curtailments.
(2)Principally reflects changes in model assumptions, including prepayment speed
assumptions, which are primarily affected by changes in mortgage interest rates.
(3)Includes pre-tax income of $333 thousand, net of transaction costs, brokerage
fees and prepayment reserves, resulting from the sale of single family MSRs for
the third quarter of 2019.

The increase in noninterest income for the third quarter of 2020 as compared to
the third quarter of 2019, was due to a $17.2 million increase in gain on loan
sales related to higher volumes of rate locks and an increase in profit margins
in our single family operations. The increase in noninterest income was
partially offset by a decrease in loan servicing income from unfavorable risk
management results on mortgage servicing rights in the third quarter of 2020
resulting from a market expectation of an extended period of higher prepayments.

Total noninterest expense           $       58,057                 $ 55,721



The $2.3 million increase in noninterest expense in the third quarter of 2020
compared to the third quarter of 2019 was primarily due to $2.4 million in
impairments in the third quarter of 2020 related to ongoing restructuring of our
facilities and staffing and increases in compensation and benefits costs related
to increased commissions on higher closed loan volume. The increase was
partially offset by decreases in information system and general and
administrative costs related to our cost savings initiatives.


Nine Months ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Nine Months ended September 30, 2019



General: Our income from continuing operations and income from continuing
operations before income taxes were $52.4 million and $66.6 million,
respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $27.6
million and $32.5 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September
30, 2019. The $34.1 million increase in income from continuing operations before
income taxes was due to higher net interest income and noninterest income which
was partially offset by a higher provision for credit losses and higher
noninterest expense.

Income Taxes: Our effective tax rate during the nine months ended September 30,
2020 was 21.4% as compared to 15.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019
and a statutory rate of 23.7%. Our effective tax rate was lower than our
statutory rate due primarily to the benefits of tax advantaged investments. In
the first nine months of 2019, the benefits of tax advantaged investments were a
higher proportion of total earnings, resulting in a lower effective tax rate.

(1) Cost of deposits including noninterest-bearing deposits, was 0.70% and 1.26%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
(2)  Includes taxable-equivalent adjustments primarily related to tax-exempt
income on certain loans and securities of $2.6 million and $1.8 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The estimated
federal statutory tax rate was 21% for the periods presented.

Net interest income was higher in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 because our net interest
margin increased to 3.09%. The increase in our net interest margin was due to an
increase in our net interest rate spread which increased because decreases in
the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities were greater than the decrease in
the yield on our interest earning assets. The 64 basis point decrease in yield
on interest earning assets was due to the origination of loans and purchases of
securities with rates below our current portfolio rates, the ongoing repricing
of variable rate loans and the prepayment and paydown of higher yielding loans
and investments from our portfolios. Our cost of interest-bearing liabilities
decreased from 1.78% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to 0.96% in the
nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to a decrease in market interest rates
which allowed us to reprice our deposits and borrowings at lower rates.


Provision for Credit Losses: The provision for credit losses was $20.5 million
for nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $1.5 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2019. Due to adverse economic conditions related to
the COVID-19 pandemic, we recorded additional provisions for credit losses in
the first nine months of 2020 as an estimate of the potential impact of those
conditions on our loan portfolio, including an evaluation of the credit risk
related to the commercial business loans and commercial real estate loans
granted COVID-19 modifications during 2020 which we believe will experience a
higher probability of default and increased credit losses.

The increase in noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020
compared to the same period in 2019 was due to an increase in gain on loan
sales. The increase in gain on loan sales was due to higher volumes of rate
locks and an increase in profit margins in our single family operations and the
classification of $18 million of gain on loan sales associated with the legacy
mortgage business as discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2019.

$ 170,893 $ 162,399





The $8.5 million increase in noninterest expense in the nine months ended
September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year was due to
increases in compensation and benefits costs and occupancy costs which were
partially offset by lower general and administrative and information systems
costs. The increase in compensation and benefits costs was due to the
classification of $7 million of compensation and benefits costs associated with
the legacy mortgage business as discontinued operations in the first quarter of
2019 and increased commissions and bonuses paid on higher loan originations
levels, including loans made under PPP, which were partially offset by reduced
levels of staffing. Occupancy expenses in the first nine months of 2020 included
$4.4 million of impairments related to ongoing restructuring of our facilities
and staffing. General and administrative costs, including information systems

Financial Condition



During the first nine months of 2020, total assets increased by $597 million due
to a $168 million increase in investment securities, a $214 million increase in
loans held for sale, a $157 million increase in loans held for investment, net
and a $94 million increase in other assets, which were partially offset by a
$19 million decrease in mortgage servicing rights. The increase in the loans
held for sale was due primarily to $195 million of multifamily loans held for
sale at September 30 in anticipation of a bulk sale in the fourth quarter of
2020. Loans held for investment increased due to $2.1 billion of originations,
including the origination of $298 million of loans under PPP, which was
partially offset by sales of $345 million and prepayments and scheduled payments
of $1.6 billion. The increase in other assets and other liabilities was
primarily due to the recognition of our option to acquire, under the GNMA early
buyout option process, $115 million of loans serviced for others which are in a
delinquent position, primarily due to forbearances. The decrease in mortgage
servicing rights reflected the impact of increased prepayments. Total
liabilities increased by $581 million due to a $476 million increase in
deposits, a $43 million increase in borrowings and a $64 million increase in
other liabilities. The increase in deposits was due to a $547 million increase
in business and consumer accounts, due in part to the funding of PPP loans to
customer accounts and the addition of new customers through PPP, which was
partially offset by a $71 million decrease in wholesale deposits.

through PPP, which was partially offset by a $71 million decrease in wholesale
deposits.

The aggregate amount of time deposits in denominations of more than $250 thousand at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $137 million and $223 million, respectively. There were $195 million and $266 million of brokered deposits at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Credit Risk Management



The following discussion highlights developments since December 31, 2019 and
should be read in conjunction with "Credit Risk Management" within Part II, Item
7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As of September 30, 2020, our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets
remained low at 0.30% while our ratio of total loans delinquent over 30 days to
total loans was 0.76%. The Company recorded provision for credit losses of $20.5
million for nine months ended September 30, 2020, and the ACL for loans
increased by $23 million. Due to adverse economic conditions related to the
COVID-19 pandemic, we recorded additional provisions for credit losses in the
first nine months of 2020 as an estimate of the potential impact of those
conditions on our loan portfolio, including an evaluation of the credit risk
related to the commercial business loans and commercial real estate loans
granted COVID-19 modifications during 2020 which we believe have a higher
probability of default and increased credit losses.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has approved forbearances for
some of its borrowers. The status of these forbearances as of September 30, 2020
is as follows:

                                                                                                   Forbearances Approved (2)

(1) Does not include any SBA guaranteed loans for which the government made
payments as provided for under the CARES Act, or single family loans that are
guaranteed by Ginnie Mae.
(2) This schedule does not include $44 million of constructions loans, (8 loans)
that were modified as a result of COVID-19 related construction delays to extend
the construction or lease-up periods. Each of these loans continued to perform
under the existing or modified payment terms.

The forbearances approved for commercial and industrial loans and CRE nonowner
occupied loans were generally for a period of 3 months while the forbearances
for single family, HELOCs and consumer loans were generally for a period of 3 to
6 months. During the third quarter, second forbearances were approved for $66
million of loans, including one relationship with 18 loans and $52 million of
balances. The forbearance provided to this large relationship was part of an
overall restructure of the related loans. These second forbearances were to
borrowers whose businesses continue to be impacted by the effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic.

As of September 30, 2020, excluding the loans approved for a second forbearance,
97% of the commercial and CRE loans approved for a forbearance prior to the
third quarter have completed their forbearance period and have resumed payments.
Based on information obtained through discussions with these borrowers, almost
all of them have reopened their business at some level and they do not currently
foresee the need for additional forbearance.

Enterprise Risk Management

Like many financial institutions, we manage and control a variety of business
and financial risks that can significantly affect our financial performance.
Among these risks are credit risk; market risk, which includes interest rate
risk and price risk; liquidity risk; and operational risk. We are also subject
to risks associated with compliance/legal, strategic and reputational matters.
Beginning in March 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic challenges began to unfold in
earnest, management updated its enterprise wide risk assessment and risk
monitoring reporting to overlay identified COVID-19 specific risks and
mitigations to inform the Board and other constituents. Since March, the Board
and its various committees, specifically the Executive Committee, the Enterprise
Risk Management Committee and the Credit Committee, continue to be actively
engaged in oversight of the heightened risks stemming from the pandemic and the
mitigations put in place by management and are being kept apprised of the status
through regularly scheduled meetings and special meetings. A Crisis Management
Team and the CARES Act Team meet as necessary to discuss risks on a real time
basis and to oversee the rollout and implementation of federal programs such as
the CARES Act and regulatory guidance related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Management level risk reporting for areas of heightened risk is being kept
current on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, as appropriate.

For more information on how we manage these business, financial and other risks, see the discussion in "Enterprise Risk Management" within Part II, Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Sources of Funds



Liquidity risk management is primarily intended to ensure we are able to
maintain sources of cash to adequately fund operations and meet our obligations,
including demands from depositors, draws on lines of credit and paying any
creditors, on a timely and cost-effective basis, in various market conditions.
Our liquidity profile is influenced by changes in market conditions, the
composition of the balance sheet and risk tolerance levels. The Company has
established liquidity guidelines and operating plans that detail the sources and
uses of cash and liquidity.

The primary sources of liquidity include deposits, loan payments and investment
security payments, both principal and interest, borrowings, and proceeds from
the sale of loans and investment securities. Borrowings include advances from
the FHLB, federal funds purchased and borrowing from other financial
institutions. Additionally, the Company may sell stock or issue long-term debt
to raise funds. While scheduled principal repayments on loans and investment
securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit inflows and
outflows and prepayments of loans and investment securities are greatly
influenced by interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Bank had available borrowing
capacity of $500 million and $943 million, respectively, from the FHLB, and $368
million and $267 million, respectively, from the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco.


Cash Flows

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash and cash equivalents
increased by $21 million compared to an increase of $16 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2019. The following discussion highlights the major
activities and transactions that affected our cash flows during these periods.

Cash flows from operating activities



The Company's operating assets and liabilities are used to support our lending
activities, including the origination and sale of mortgage loans. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2020, net cash of $40 million was used in operating
activities, primarily from cash used to fund LHFS production exceeding cash
proceeds from the sale of loans. We believe that cash flows from operations,
available cash balances and our ability to generate cash through short-term debt
are sufficient to fund our operating liquidity needs. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2019, net cash of $182 million was provided by operating
activities, primarily from proceeds from the sale of loans held for sale,
partially offset by the recognition of deferred taxes from the sale of mortgage
servicing rights and the net fair value adjustment and gain on sale of LHFS.

Cash flows from investing activities



The Company's investing activities primarily include available-for-sale
securities and loans originated as held for investment. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2020, net cash of $394 million was used in investing
activities, primarily due to the purchase of $348 million investment securities
net of $211 million of sales, principal repayments and maturities. The
origination of portfolio loans, net of principal repayments of $584 million, was
partially offset by $349 million proceeds from the sale of portfolio loans. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash of $184 million was provided
by investing activities, primarily due to $529 million proceeds from sale of
portfolio loans offset by originations net of principal repayments of $593
million; $174 million in net cash provided by disposal of discontinued
operations and $229 million proceeds from the sale, principal repayments and
maturities of investment securities and $47 million net cash used for
acquisitions.


Cash flows from financing activities



The Company's financing activities are primarily related to deposits and net
proceeds from borrowings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash
of $455 million was provided by financing activities, primarily due to $43
million net proceeds from borrowings and a $476 million increase in deposits,
partially offset by $62 million of common stock repurchases and dividends paid
on common stock. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash of $350
million was used in financing activities, primarily due to $890 million net
repayments of short-term borrowings and $81 million repurchases of our common
stock, which was partially offset by $678 million growth in deposits.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements



In the normal course of business, we are a party to financial instruments that
carry off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments (which include
commitments to originate loans and commitments to purchase loans) include
potential credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. These transactions are designed to (1) meet
the financial needs of our customers, (2) manage our credit, market or liquidity
risks, (3) diversify our funding sources and/or (4) optimize capital.

These commitments include the following.

where the Company has an obligation to advance funds for construction
progress payments, were $402 million and $435 million at September 30, 2020 and
December 31, 2019, respectively.


Capital Resources and Dividend Policy



The capital rules applicable to United States based bank holding companies and
federally insured depository institutions ("Capital Rules") require the Company
(on a consolidated basis) and the Bank (on a stand-alone basis) to meet specific
capital adequacy requirements that, for the most part, involve quantitative
measures, primarily in terms of the ratios of their capital to their assets,
liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items, calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. In addition, prompt correct action regulations place a
federally insured depository institution, such as the Bank, into one of five
capital categories on the basis of its capital ratios: (i) well capitalized;
(ii) adequately capitalized; (iii) undercapitalized; (iv) significantly
undercapitalized; or (v) critically undercapitalized. A depository institution's
primary federal regulatory agency may determine that, based on certain
qualitative assessments, the depository institution should be assigned to a
lower capital category than the one indicated by its capital ratios. At each
successive lower capital category, a depository institution is subject to
greater operating restrictions and increased regulatory supervision by its
federal bank regulatory agency.

The following table sets forth the capital and capital ratios of HomeStreet Inc. (on a consolidated basis) and HomeStreet Bank as of the respective dates indicated below, as compared to the respective regulatory requirements applicable to them:

As of each of the dates set forth in the above table, the Company exceeded the
minimum required capital ratios applicable to it and the Bank's capital ratios
exceeded the minimums necessary to qualify as a well-capitalized depository
institution under the prompt corrective action regulations. In addition to the
minimum capital ratios, both HomeStreet Inc. and HomeStreet Bank are required to
maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional Common Equity
Tier 1 Capital of more than 2.5% above the required minimum levels in order to
avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying
discretionary bonuses based on percentages of eligible retained income that
could be utilized for such actions. The required ratios for capital adequacy set
forth in the above table do not include the Capital Rules' additional capital
conservation buffer, though each of the Company and Bank maintained capital
ratios necessary to satisfy the capital conservation buffer requirements as of
the dates indicated. At September 30, 2020, capital conservation buffers for the
Company and the Bank were 5.33% and 5.95%, respectively.

The Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share in each of
the first, second and third quarters of 2020. It is our current intention to
continue to pay quarterly dividends and the Company has declared a cash dividend
of $0.15 per common share payable on November 23, 2020. The amount and
declaration of future cash dividends are subject to approval by our Board of
Directors and certain regulatory restrictions.

We had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of September 30,
2020. However, we intend to take advantage of opportunities that may arise in
the future to grow our businesses, which may include opening additional offices
or acquiring complementary businesses that we believe will provide us with
attractive risk-adjusted returns. As a result, we may seek to obtain additional
borrowings and to sell additional shares of our common stock to raise funds
which we might need for these purposes. There is no assurance, however, that, if
required, we will succeed in obtaining additional borrowings or selling
additional shares of our common stock on terms that are acceptable to us, if at
all, as this will depend on market conditions and other factors outside of our
control, as well as our future results of operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures



To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures of financial
performance. These supplemental performance measures may vary from, and may not
be comparable to, similarly titled measures provided by other companies in our
industry. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an
alternative for, GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical
measure of a company's performance that either excludes or includes amounts that
are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure
calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure
may also be a financial metric that is not required by GAAP or other applicable
requirement.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the
corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental
information regarding our performance by providing additional information used
by management that is not otherwise required by GAAP or other applicable
requirements. Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from
referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating
results and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These
non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate a comparison of our performance to
prior periods. We believe these measures are frequently used by securities
analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies
in our industry. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered
in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures
prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the information below, we have provided a
reconciliation of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures
to the non-GAAP measures used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, or a
reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure.

In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we use (i) tangible common equity and
tangible assets as we believe this information is consistent with the treatment
by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the
calculation of capital ratios; and (ii) an efficiency ratio which is the ratio
of noninterest expense to the sum of net interest income and noninterest income,
excluding certain items of income or expense and excluding taxes incurred and
payable to the state of Washington as such taxes are not classified as income
taxes and we believe including them in noninterest expense impacts the
comparability of our results to those companies whose operations are in states
where assessed taxes on business are classified as income taxes.
