Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(1)                     Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Territorial Bancorp Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed as part of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made and consist only of normal recurring adjustments.  Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.

(2)                     Organization

On November 4, 2008, the Board of Directors of Territorial Mutual Holding Company (MHC) approved a plan of conversion and reorganization under which the MHC would convert from a mutual holding company to a stock holding company.  The conversion to a stock holding company was approved by the depositors and borrowers of Territorial Savings Bank and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) and included the filing of a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  Upon the completion of the conversion and reorganization on July 10, 2009, Territorial Mutual Holding Company and Territorial Savings Group, Inc. ceased to exist as separate legal entities and Territorial Bancorp Inc. became the holding company for Territorial Savings Bank.

Upon completion of the conversion and reorganization, a special “liquidation account” was established in an amount equal to the total equity of Territorial Mutual Holding Company as of December 31, 2008.  The liquidation account is to provide eligible account holders and supplemental eligible account holders who maintain their deposit accounts with Territorial Savings Bank after the conversion with a liquidation interest in the unlikely event of the complete liquidation of Territorial Savings Bank after the conversion.  The balance of the liquidation account at December 31, 2014 was $15.2 million.

On June 25, 2014, Territorial Savings Bank converted from a federal savings bank to a Hawaii state-chartered savings bank.  On July 10, 2014, Territorial Savings Bank became a member of the Federal Reserve System.

(3)                     Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the Receivables topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC).  The amendment clarifies when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs and when a mortgage loan should be derecognized and the related real property recognized.  The amendment also requires disclosures about the amount of foreclosed residential real property held and the recorded investment in mortgage loans collateralized by residential real property in the process of foreclosure.  The amendment was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014.  The Company adopted this amendment on January 1, 2015, and the adoption did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB amended the Revenue Recognition topic of the FASB ASC.  The amendment seeks to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue as well as to develop common revenue standards for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards.  The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period.  Early application is not permitted.  In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the amendment by one year.  However, entities may still choose to adopt the amendment as of the original effective date.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB amended the Transfers and Servicing topic of the FASB ASC.  The amendment modifies the accounting for certain types of repurchase transactions as well as adds new disclosure requirements for repurchase transactions.  The amendment was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption prohibited.  The Company adopted this amendment on January 1, 2015, and the adoption did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.  See note 9, Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase.

In August 2014, the FASB amended the Receivables topic of the FASB ASC.  The amendment seeks to clarify the classification of foreclosed mortgage loans that are either fully or partially guaranteed under government programs, such as from the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).  The amendment was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014.  The Company adopted this amendment on January 1, 2015, and the adoption did not have any effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB amended the Intangibles — Goodwill and Other topic of the FASB ASC.  The amendment adds guidance to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid in cloud computing arrangements.  The amendment is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

(5)                     Investment Securities

The amortized cost and fair values of investment securities are as follows:

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities at September 30, 2015 are shown below.  Incorporated in the maturity schedule are mortgage-backed and trust preferred securities, which are allocated using the contractual maturity as a basis.  Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Realized gains and losses and the proceeds from sales of securities held to maturity and trading are shown in the table below.  All sales of securities were U.S. government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities.

Table of Contents

The Company did not sell any held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities during the three months ended September 30, 2015.  During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company received proceeds of $4.3 million from the sale of $3.9 million of held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities, resulting in gross realized gains of $392,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company received proceeds of $5.0 million and $11.5 million, respectively, from the sale of $4.6 million and $10.5 million, respectively, of held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities, resulting in gross realized gains of $415,000 and $1.0 million, respectively.  The sale of these mortgage-backed securities, for which the Company had already collected a substantial portion of the original purchased principal (at least 85%), is in accordance with the Investments — Debt and Equity Securities topic of the FASB ASC and does not taint management’s assertion of intent to hold remaining securities in the held-to-maturity portfolio to maturity.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company received proceeds of $61,000 from the sale of one of the trust preferred securities the Company owned, PreTSL XXIV.  The Company previously wrote off the entire book value of this security when it incurred an other-than-temporary impairment charge in prior years.  The trust preferred security sold was classified in the held-to-maturity portfolio.  Since the credit rating of this security was downgraded, in accordance with the Investments — Debt and Equity Securities topic of the FASB ASC, the sale of this security does not taint management’s assertion of intent to hold remaining securities in the held-to-maturity portfolio to maturity.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company received proceeds of $5.0 million from the sale of a held-for-trading security and recognized a gain of $30,000.

Investment securities with amortized costs of $246.5 million and $270.2 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and transaction clearing accounts.

Provided below is a summary of investment securities which were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The Company does not intend to sell these securities until such time as the value recovers or the securities mature and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities prior to recovery of value or the securities mature.

Mortgage-Backed Securities.  The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in mortgage-backed securities were caused by increases in market interest rates.  All of the mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, which are U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, or Ginnie Mae, which is a U.S. government agency.  Since the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and the Company does not intend to sell these investments until maturity and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such investments prior to recovery of its cost basis, the Company does not consider these investments

to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Trust Preferred Securities.  At September 30, 2015, the Company owned one trust preferred security, PreTSL XXIII.  The trust preferred security represents an investment in a pool of debt obligations issued primarily by holding companies for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured financial institutions. This security is classified in the Company’s held-to-maturity investment portfolio.

The trust preferred securities market is considered to be inactive as only six transactions have occurred over the past 45 months in the same tranche of securities owned by the Company.  The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to determine whether this security is other-than-temporarily impaired.  The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash flow model include the following: estimated discount rates, estimated deferral and default rates on collateral, and estimated cash flows.

Based on the Company’s review, the Company’s investment in PreTSL XXIII did not incur additional impairment during the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

PreTSL XXIII has an amortized cost of $856,000 at September 30, 2015.  The difference between the amortized cost of $856,000 and the remaining cost basis of $1.1 million is reported as accumulated other comprehensive loss and is related to noncredit factors.

It is reasonably possible that the fair value of the trust preferred security could decline in the near term if the overall economy and the financial condition of some of the issuers continue to deteriorate and the liquidity of this security remains low.  As a result, there is a risk that the Company’s remaining cost basis of $1.1 million on its trust preferred security could be credit-related other-than-temporarily impaired in the near term.  The impairment, if any, could be material to the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

The table below provides a cumulative roll forward of credit losses recognized in earnings for debt securities held and not intended to be sold:
