Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements of HarborOne Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures considered necessary for the fair presentation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been included.  Interim results are not necessarily reflective of the results of the entire year. The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company; the Company’s subsidiaries, Legion Parkway Company LLC, a security corporation formed on July 13, 2016, HarborOne Bank (the “Bank”); and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries.  The Bank’s subsidiaries consist of a mortgage company, a passive investment corporation and two security corporations.  Merrimack Mortgage Company, LLC was acquired and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank on July 1, 2015, and effective April 3, 2018 became HarborOne Mortgage, LLC (“HarborOne Mortgage”).  The security corporations were established for the purpose of buying, holding and selling securities on their own behalf.  The passive investment corporation maintains and manages certain assets of the Bank.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Business Combinations

Effective October 5, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Coastway Bancorp, Inc. (“Coastway”) the holding company of Coastway Community Bank in an all cash transaction valued at approximately $125.6 million, with $835.1 million in total assets, $736.2 million in gross loans and $478.3 million in deposits.

Stock Conversion

On June 29, 2016, the Bank reorganized into a two-tier mutual holding company structure with the Company as a mid-tier stock holding company. The Company sold 14,454,396 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share, including 1,187,188 shares purchased by the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). In addition, the Company issued 17,281,034 shares to HarborOne Mutual Bancshares (the “MHC”) and 385,450 shares to The HarborOne Foundation, a charitable foundation formed in connection with the stock offering and dedicated to supporting charitable organizations operating in the Bank’s local community. A total of 32,120,880 shares of common stock were outstanding following the completion of the stock offering. The direct costs of the Company’s stock offering of $3.9 million were deferred and deducted from the proceeds of the offering.

Upon the completion of the stock offering, a special “liquidation account” was established for the benefit of certain depositors of the Bank in an amount equal to the percentage ownership interest in the equity of the Company held by persons other than the MHC as of the date of the latest balance sheet contained in the prospectus. The Company is not permitted to pay dividends on its capital stock if the Company’s shareholders’ equity would be reduced below the amount of the liquidation account. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases in an eligible account holder’s qualifying deposits will not restore such holder’s interest in the liquidation account.

Plan of Conversion and Reorganization

On March 5, 2019, the Board of Trustees of the MHC adopted a Plan of Conversion pursuant to which the MHC will reorganize into a fully-public stock holding company structure and will conduct an offering of shares of common stock.

Table of Contents

HarborOne Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

In the conversion, the Bank will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of a new holding company, which will also be named HarborOne Bancorp, Inc. Shares of Company common stock held by persons other than the MHC will be converted into shares of common stock of the new holding company pursuant to an exchange ratio designed to preserve the approximate percentage ownership interests of such persons, excluding any shares purchased in the stock offering and receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares. Shares of Company common stock owned by the MHC will be canceled and the amount of the MHC’s ownership interest in the Company will be sold in an offering. In the offering, depositors of the Bank and former depositors of Coastway Community Bank, with qualifying deposits as of February 28, 2018, will have first priority to purchase the new shares of common stock. The offering is expected to close in the second half of 2019 and is subject to customary conditions, including the required regulatory approvals. As of March 31,2019 other assets includes $929,000 in capitalized costs for the offering.

Nature of Operations

The Company provides a variety of financial services to individuals and businesses through its 24 full-service branches in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, one limited-service bank branch, and a commercial lending office in each of Boston, Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island. HarborOne Mortgage maintains 34 offices in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, and New Jersey and is also licensed to lend in five additional states.

The Company’s primary deposit products are checking, money market, savings and term certificate of deposit accounts while its primary lending products are commercial real estate, commercial, residential mortgages, home equity, and consumer loans. The Company also originates, sells and services residential mortgage loans through HarborOne Mortgage.

Use of Estimates

In preparing unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuations of mortgage servicing rights, derivatives, goodwill and deferred tax assets.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed and generally do not exceed the time frame provided in the FDIC’s Uniform Retail Credit Classification and Account Management Policy.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management.  This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.  The allowance consists of general, allocated and unallocated components, as further described below.

General component

The general component of the allowance for loan losses is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors stratified by the Company’s loan segments.  Management uses a rolling average of historical losses based on a time frame appropriate to capture relevant loss data for each loan segment except commercial real estate and commercial loans.  Due to the lack of historical loss experience for our commercial real estate, commercial construction and commercial loan portfolio, we utilize peer loss data.  Adjustments to this historical loss factor are considered for the following qualitative factors: levels/trends in delinquencies; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting standards and other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices; experience/ability/depth of lending management and staff; and national and local economic trends and conditions.  There were no changes in the Company’s policies or methodology

HarborOne Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

pertaining to the general component of the allowance for loan losses during 2018 or the three months ended March 31, 2019.  The qualitative factors are determined based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment.  Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:

Residential real estate – The Company generally does not originate portfolio loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80 percent without obtaining private mortgage insurance and does not generally grant loans that would be classified as subprime upon origination.  The Company generally has first or second liens on property securing equity lines of credit.  Loans in this segment are generally collateralized by residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.  The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, can have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.

Residential construction –Residential construction loans include loans to build one- to four-family owner-occupied properties, which are subject to the same credit quality factors as residential real estate loans.

Commercial real estate – Loans in this segment are primarily secured by income-producing properties in southeastern New England.  The underlying cash flows generated by the properties can be adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy as evidenced by increased vacancy rates, which in turn, could have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.  Management obtains rent rolls annually and continually monitors the cash flows of these loans.

Commercial construction –Commercial construction loans may include speculative real estate development loans for which payment is derived from lease or sale of the property. Credit risk is affected by cost overruns, time to lease or sell at an adequate price, and market conditions.

Commercial – Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by assets of the business.  Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business.  A weakened economy, and resultant decreased consumer or business spending, could have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.

Consumer – Loans in this segment are generally secured by automobiles or unsecured and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.

Allocated component

The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired.  Residential real estate, commercial, commercial real estate and construction loans are evaluated for impairment on a loan-by-loan basis.  Impairment is determined by nonaccrual status, whether a loan is subject to a troubled debt restructuring agreement or in the case of certain loans, based on the internal credit rating.  Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.  Accordingly, except for troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), the Company does not separately identify individual consumer loans for impairment evaluation.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

The Company periodically may agree to modify the contractual terms of loans.  When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a TDR.  All TDRs are initially classified as impaired.  Impairment is measured by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral

dependent.  An allowance is established when the discounted cash flows or collateral value of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.

Unallocated component

The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating allocated and general reserves in the portfolio. The unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. Additionally the Company's unseasoned commercial portfolio and use of peer group data to establish general reserves for the commercial portfolio adds another element of risk to management's estimates.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Unallocated ESOP shares are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations. The restricted stock awards are participating securities; therefore, unvested awards are included as common shares outstanding in the computation of basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock option awards and are determined using the treasury stock method.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

As an “emerging growth company”, as defined in Title 1 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act, the Company has elected to use the extended transition period to delay the adoption of new or reissued accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies.  As of March 31, 2019, there is no significant difference in the comparability of the financial statements as a result of this extended transition period.

In October 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedging Accounting Purposes . The purpose of ASU 2018-16 is to permit the use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815. The amendments in ASU 2018-16 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, if ASU 2017-12 has already been adopted. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period upon issuance of ASU 2018-16 if a public business entity has adopted ASU 2017-12. The amendments in ASU 2018-16 should be applied prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after the date of adoption. The Company does not have any derivatives within the scope of the ASU.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement . This ASU eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Among the changes, entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy but will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This guidance changes the recognition and presentation requirements of hedge accounting, including eliminating the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and presenting all items that affect earnings in the same income statement line as the hedged item. This guidance also provides new alternatives for applying hedge accounting to additional hedging strategies, measuring the hedged item in fair value hedges of interest rate risk, reducing the complexity of applying hedge accounting by easing the requirements for effectiveness testing, hedge documentation and application of the critical terms match method, and reducing the risk of material error

corrections if a company applies the shortcut method inappropriately.  This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company does not have any derivatives within the scope of the ASU.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) , which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  Entities will now use forward-looking information to better form their credit loss estimates.  The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio.  For public entities that are SEC filers, this ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.  For non-public entities, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.  Management has identified an implementation team that is in the process of developing an understanding of this pronouncement, evaluating the impact of this pronouncement and researching additional software resources that could assist with the implementation.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) .  This update requires a lessee to record a right-to-use asset and a liability representing the obligation to make lease payments for long-term leases.  For public business entities, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  For non-public business entities, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.  While we are currently evaluating the impact of the new standard, we expect an increase to the Consolidated Balance Sheets for right-of-use assets and associated lease liabilities but no material impact to the Consolidated Statement of Income, for arrangements previously accounted for as operating leases.

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall, (Subtopic 825-10). The amendments in this update address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments.  Targeted improvements to generally accepted accounting principles include the requirement for equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, the elimination of the requirement for non-public business entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost and the elimination of the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost.  For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  For non-public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.  Management currently does not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company does not currently hold any equity securities.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . The amendments in this update create Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , and supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition , including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve the core principle, a company should apply a five step approach to revenue recognition. For public business entities, this ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. For non-public business entities, this ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.  The Bank's primary source of revenue is interest income on financial assets and income from mortgage banking activities, which are explicitly excluded from the scope of the new guidance.  The Company adopted the updated guidance using the modified retrospective approach effective January 1, 2019, with no material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at each reporting period, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation.

At March 31, 2019, 52 debt securities with an amortized cost of $141.7 million have unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 1.16% from the Company’s amortized cost basis.

The unrealized losses on the Company’s securities were primarily caused by changes in interest rates.  All of these investments are guaranteed by government and government-sponsored enterprises.  Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the par value of the investment.  Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not to credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be OTTI at March 31, 2019.

The Company has transferred a portion of its originated commercial real estate loans to participating lenders.  The amounts transferred have been accounted for as sales and are therefore not included in the Company’s accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The Company and participating lenders share ratably in cash flows and any gains or losses that may result from a borrower’s lack of compliance with contractual terms of the loan.  The Company continues to service the loans on behalf of the participating lenders and, as such, collects cash payments from the borrowers, remits payments to participating lenders and disburses required escrow funds to relevant parties.  At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company was servicing loans for participants aggregating $146.6 million and $140.9 million, respectively.

Interest income recognized and interest income recognized on a cash basis in the table above represents interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, not for the time period designated as impaired.  No additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with impaired loans.

There were no material TDR loan modifications for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

The recorded investment in TDRs was $21.6 million and $22.2 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.  Of these loans, $3.6 million and $4.3 million were on non-accrual at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

All TDR loans are considered impaired and management performs a discounted cash flow calculation to determine the amount of impairment reserve required on each loan.  TDR loans which subsequently default are reviewed to determine if the loan should be deemed collateral dependent.  In either case, any reserve required is recorded as part of the allowance for loan losses.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no payment defaults on TDRs.

Credit Quality Information

The Company uses a ten grade internal loan rating system for commercial real estate, commercial construction and commercial loans, as follows:

Loans rated 1 – 6 are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.

Loans rated 7 are considered “special mention.”  These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.

Loans rated 8 are considered “substandard.”  Generally, a loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors and/or the collateral pledged.  There is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the weakness is not corrected.

Loans rated 9 are considered “doubtful.”  Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans rated 10 are considered “uncollectible” (loss), and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted.

Loans not rated consist primarily of certain smaller balance commercial real estate and commercial loans that are managed by exception.

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews on a risk adjusted basis, the ratings on all commercial real estate, construction and commercial loans.  Semi-annually, the Company engages an independent third party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments.  Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process.

On a monthly basis, the Company reviews the residential construction, residential real estate and consumer installment portfolios for credit quality primarily through the use of delinquency reports.

The following table presents the Company’s loans by risk rating at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

5. MORTGAGE LOAN SERVICING

The Company sells residential mortgages to government-sponsored entities and other parties.  The Company retains no beneficial interests in these loans, but may retain the servicing rights of the loans sold.  Mortgage loans serviced

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

for others are not included in the accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The risks inherent in mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) relate primarily to changes in prepayments that primarily result from shifts in mortgage interest rates.  The unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans serviced for others was $1.98 billion and $1.99 billion as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The Company accounts for MSRs at fair value.  The Company obtains valuations from independent third parties to determine the fair value of MSRs.  Key assumptions used in the estimation of fair value include prepayment speeds, discount rates, default rates, cost to service, and contractual servicing fees.  At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the following weighted average assumptions were used in the calculation of fair value of MSRs:

6. GOODWILL

Goodwill was $69.6 million and $70.1 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Our goodwill originated from the acquisition of Coastway in October 2018, Cumberland Mortgage in January 2018 and HarborOne Mortgage in 2015. The Company recorded fair value adjustments to reduce goodwill in the amount of $453,000 in the first quarter of 2019.

There has been no impairment in goodwill recorded as of March 31, 2019. Future events that could cause a significant decline in our expected future cash flows or a significant adverse change in our business or the business climate may necessitate taking charges in future reporting periods related to the impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets.

(1) Callable FHLB advances are shown in the respective periods assuming that the callable debt is redeemed at the call date, while all other advances are shown in the periods corresponding to their scheduled maturity date.

(2) Weighted average rates are based on scheduled maturity dates.

The FHLB advances are secured by a blanket security agreement on qualified collateral defined primarily as 79% of the carrying value of first mortgage loans on residential property and 60% of certain other loans deemed acceptable to the FHLB of Boston.

The Company also has an available line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston secured by 75% of the carrying value of indirect auto loans with principal balances amounting to $76.5 million and $70.6 million, respectively, of which no amount was outstanding at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

9. INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded an expense of $356,000, representing an effective tax rate of 14.7%.  For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $814,000 representing an effective tax rate of 26.5%.  The decrease in effective tax rate for three months ended March 31, 2019 is due primarily to a 2014 Massachusetts state tax refund of $320,000 recognized in the quarter.

10. OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Loan Commitments

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and advance

23


Table of Contents

HarborOne Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

funds on various lines of credit.  Those commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments.  The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

The following off-balance sheet financial instruments were outstanding at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.  The contract amounts represent credit risk.

Commitments to extend credit and unadvanced portion of construction loans are agreements to lend to a customer, as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments to grant loans generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  The commitments for unadvanced funds on construction loans, home equity and revolving lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  Commitments to grant loans, and unadvanced construction loans and home equity lines of credit are collateralized by real estate, while revolving lines of credit are unsecured.

11. DERIVATIVES

The Company is party to a variety of derivative transactions, including derivative loan commitments, forward loan sale commitments and interest rate swap contracts. The Company enters into derivative contracts in order to meet the financing needs of its customers. The Company also enters into derivative contracts as a means of reducing its interest rate risk and market risk.

All derivatives are recognized in the unaudited interim Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.  Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings.  The Company did not have any fair value hedges or cash flow hedges at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Derivative Loan Commitments

Mortgage loan commitments qualify as derivative loan commitments if the loan that will result from exercise of the commitment will be held for sale upon funding.  The Company enters into commitments to fund residential mortgage loans at specified times in the future, with the intention that these loans will subsequently be sold in the secondary market.  A mortgage loan commitment binds the Company to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specified interest rate and within a specified period of time, generally up to 60 days after inception of the rate lock.

Outstanding derivative loan commitments expose the Company to the risk that the price of the loans arising from exercise of the loan commitment might decline from inception of a rate lock to funding of the loan due to increases in mortgage interest rates.  If interest rates increase, the value of these loan commitments decreases.  Conversely, if interest rates decrease, the value of these loan commitments increases.

Forward Loan Sale Commitments

The Company utilizes both “mandatory delivery” and “best efforts” forward loan sale commitments to mitigate the risk of potential decreases in the values of loans that would result from the exercise of the derivative loan commitments.

24


Table of Contents

HarborOne Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

With a “mandatory delivery” contract, the Company commits to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price on or before a specified date.  If the Company fails to deliver the amount of mortgages necessary to fulfill the commitment by the specified date, it is obligated to pay a “pair-off” fee, based on then-current market prices, to the investor to compensate the investor for the shortfall.

With a “best efforts” contract, the Company commits to deliver an individual mortgage loan of a specified principal amount and quality to an investor if the loan to the underlying borrower closes.  Generally, the price the investor will pay the seller for an individual loan is specified prior to the loan being funded (e.g., on the same day the lender commits to lend funds to a potential borrower).

The Company expects that these forward loan sale commitments will experience changes in fair value opposite to the change in fair value of derivative loan commitments.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements that are transacted to meet the financing needs of its commercial customers. Offsetting interest rate swap agreements are simultaneously transacted with a third-party financial institution to effectively eliminate the Company’s interest rate risk associated with the customer swaps. The primary risks associated with these transactions arise from exposure to the ability of the counterparties to meet the terms of the contract.  Mortgage-backed securities with a fair value of $7.6 million are pledged to secure the Company’s liability for the offsetting interest rate swaps (see Note 2). The interest rate swap notional amount below is the aggregate notional amount of the customer swap and the offsetting third-party swap.

Risk Participation Agreements

The Company has entered into risk participation agreements with the correspondent institutions and shares in any interest rate swap losses incurred as a result of the commercial loan customers’ termination of a loan level interest rate swap agreement prior to maturity. The Company records these risk participation agreements at fair value. The Company’s maximum credit exposure is based on its proportionate share of the settlement amount of the referenced interest rate swap. Settlement amounts are generally calculated based on the fair value of the swap plus outstanding accrued interest receivables from the customer.

Under the HarborOne Bancorp, Inc. 2017 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”), adopted on August 9, 2017, the Company may grant options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted units, unrestricted stock awards, cash based awards, performance share awards, and dividend equivalent rights to its directors, officers and employees.

Expense related to awards granted to employees is recognized as compensation expense and expense related to awards granted to directors is recognized as directors' fees within noninterest expense. Total expense for the Equity Plan was $1.1 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Stock Options

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

·

Volatility is based on peer group volatility due to lack of sufficient trading history for the Company.

·

Expected life represents the period of time that the option is expected to be outstanding, taking into account the contractual term and the vesting period.

·

Expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts.

·

The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for a period equivalent to the expected life of the option.

The Company made the following awards of nonqualified options to purchase shares of common stock:

13. MINIMUM REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Under the capital rules, risk-based capital ratios are calculated by dividing Tier 1, common equity Tier 1, and total risk-based capital, respectively, by risk-weighted assets.  Assets and off-balance sheet credit equivalents are assigned

27

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

to one of several risk-weight categories, based primarily on relative risk.  The rules require banks and bank holding companies to maintain a minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%, a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0% and a total capital ratio of 8.0%.  In addition, a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0% is required.  Additionally, the capital rules require a bank holding company to maintain a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital in an amount above the minimum risk-based capital requirements equal to 2.5% of total risk weighted assets, or face restrictions on the ability to pay dividends, pay discretionary bonuses, and to engage in share repurchases.

Under the FDIC’s prompt corrective action rules, an insured state nonmember bank is considered “well capitalized” if its capital ratios meet or exceed the ratios as set forth in the following table and is not subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive, or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.  The Bank must meet well capitalized requirements under prompt corrective action provisions.  Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

A bank holding company is considered “well capitalized” if the bank holding company (i) has a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0%, (ii) has a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.0%, and (iii) is not subject to any written agreement order, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.

At March 31, 2019, the capital levels of both the Company and the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and their regulatory capital ratios were above the minimum levels required to be considered well capitalized for regulatory purposes.  The capital levels of both the Company and the Bank at March 31, 2019 also exceeded the minimum capital requirements including the currently applicable capital conservation buffer of 2.5%.

14. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income.  Although certain changes in assets and liabilities are reported as a separate component of the stockholders’ equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income (loss).

The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), included in stockholders’ equity, are as follows:

15. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Determination of Fair Value

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.  The fair value of an asset or liability is 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.  Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices.  However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various assets or liabilities.  In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.  Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the asset or liability.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures:

Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values based on the short-term nature of the assets.

Securities - All fair value measurements are obtained from a third-party pricing service and are not adjusted by management.  Securities measured at fair value in Level 1 are based on quoted market prices in an active exchange market.  Securities measured at fair value in Level 2 are based on pricing models that consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, credit spreads and new issue data.

FHLB stock - The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock is equal to cost based on redemption provisions.

Loans held for sale - Fair values are based on prevailing market prices for similar commitments.

Loans - Fair values for mortgage loans and other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.  Fair values for non-performing loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Retirement plan annuities - The carrying value of the annuities are based on their contract values which approximate fair value.

30


Table of Contents

HarborOne Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

MSRs - Fair value is based on a third party valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income and includes observable market data such as prepayment speeds and default and loss rates.

Deposits and mortgagors’ escrow accounts - The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) and mortgagors’ escrow accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts).  Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies market interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Borrowed funds - The fair values of borrowed funds are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current incremental borrowing rates in the market for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Accrued interest - The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Forward loan sale commitments and derivative loan commitments - Forward loan sale commitments and derivative loan commitments are based on fair values of the underlying mortgage loans and the probability of such commitments being exercised.  The assumptions for pull-through rates are derived from internal data and adjusted using management judgment. Derivative loan commitments include the value of servicing rights and non-refundable costs of originating the loan based on the Company’s internal cost analysis that is not observable.   The weighted average pull-through rate for derivative loan commitments was 86% at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Interest rate swaps and risk participation agreements - The Company’s interest rate swaps are traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available.  For these interest rate derivatives, fair value is determined by a third party utilizing models that use primarily market observable inputs, such as swap rates and yield curves.  The pricing models used to value interest rate swaps calculate the sum of each instrument’s fixed and variable cash flows, which are then discounted using an appropriate yield curve to arrive at the fair value of each swap.  The pricing models do not contain a high level of subjectivity as the methodologies used do not require significant judgment.  The Company incorporates credit valuation analysis for counterparty nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement, including the impact of netting applicable credit enhancements such as available collateral.

Off-balance sheet credit-related instruments - Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.  The fair value of off-balance sheet instruments are immaterial.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Level 1 – Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation is based on observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.  Level 3 assets and liabilities include assets and liabilities whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as assets and liabilities for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period, if applicable.  There were no transfers during the periods presented.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

The Company may also be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.  There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.  The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets.

Losses applicable to write-downs of impaired loans and other real estate owned and repossessed assets are based on the appraised value of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to sell.  The losses on impaired loans are not recorded directly as an adjustment to current earnings, but rather as a component in determining the allowance for loan losses.  The losses on other real estate owned and repossessed assets represent adjustments in valuation recorded during the time period indicated and not for losses incurred on sales.  Appraised values are typically based on a blend of (a) an income approach using observable cash flows to measure fair value, and (b) a market approach using observable market comparables.  These appraised values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, expertise or changes in market conditions from time of valuation.

Summary of Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values, and related carrying or notional amounts, of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows.  Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments are exempt from disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented herein may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

16. EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

Basic EPS represents net income attributable to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Unvested restricted shares are participating securities and included in the computation of basic earnings per share.  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, plus the effect of potential dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.  Unallocated ESOP shares are not deemed outstanding for EPS calculations.

17. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has two reportable segments: HarborOne Bank and HarborOne Mortgage.  Revenue from HarborOne Bank consists primarily of interest earned on loans and investment securities and service charges on deposit accounts.  Revenue from HarborOne Mortgage comprises interest earned on loans and fees received as a result of the residential mortgage origination, sale and servicing process.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.  Segment profit and loss is measured by net income on a legal entity basis.  Intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Information about the reportable segments and reconciliation to the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements at March 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the three months then ended is presented in the tables below.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This section is intended to assist in the understanding of the financial performance of the Company and its subsidiaries through a discussion of our financial condition at March 31, 2019, and our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. This section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of the Company appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which are based on certain current assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, can generally be identified by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “plan,” “potential,” “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “target” and similar expressions. These statements include, among others, statements regarding our strategy, goals and expectations; evaluations of future interest rate trends and liquidity; expectations as to growth in assets, deposits and results of operations, future operations, market position and financial position; and prospects, plans and objectives of management. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. You should exercise caution in interpreting and relying on forward-looking statements because they are subject to significant risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond our control.

Forward-looking statements are based on the current assumptions and beliefs of management and are only expectations of future results. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among others, factors referenced under the section captioned “Risk Factors” at Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q, and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as updated by the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, including this report, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; acquisitions may not produce results at levels or within time frames originally anticipated; adverse conditions in the capital and debt markets and the impact of such conditions on our business activities; changes in interest rates; competitive pressures from other financial institutions; the effects of general economic conditions on a national basis or in the local markets in which we operate, including changes that adversely affect borrowers’ ability to service and repay our loans; changes in the value of securities in our investment portfolio; changes in loan default and charge-off rates; fluctuations in real estate values; the adequacy of loan loss reserves; decreases in deposit levels necessitating increased borrowing to fund loans and investments; operational risks including, but not limited to, cybersecurity, fraud and natural disasters;  changes in government regulation; changes in accounting standards and practices; the risk that goodwill and intangibles recorded in our financial statements will become impaired; demand for loans in our market area; our ability to attract and maintain deposits; risks related to the implementation of acquisitions, dispositions, and restructurings; the risk that we may not be successful in the implementation of our business strategy; and changes in assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain of our accounting policies, which are important to the portrayal of our financial condition, require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain.  Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances.  Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy and changes in the financial condition of borrowers.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as compared to the critical accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Business Combination

On October 5, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Coastway Bancorp, Inc. (“Coastway”) the holding company of Coastway Community Bank in an all cash transaction valued at approximately $125.6 million.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018

Total Assets. Total assets increased $2.9 million, or 0.1%, to $3.66 billion at March 31, 2019 from $3.65 billion at December 31, 2018 primarily due to the continued execution of our commercial loan growth strategy, partially offset by decreases in loans held for sale and FHLB stock.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $3.9 million to $101.6 million at March 31, 2019 from $105.5 million at December 31, 2018.

Loans Held for Sale. Loans held for sale at March 31, 2019 were $32.4 million, a decrease of $9.7 million from $42.1 million at December 31, 2018, primarily reflecting lower residential mortgage loan demand in the first quarter of 2019.

Loans, net. At March 31, 2019, net loans were $2.98 billion, an increase of $14.4 million, or 0.5%, from $2.96 billion at December 31, 2018, primarily due to an increase in commercial real estate and commercial loans, partially offset by a decrease in consumer loans. Total commercial real estate, commercial construction and commercial loans at March 31, 2019 were $1.41 billion, an increase of $37.2 million, or 2.7%, from $1.37 billion at December 31, 2018, reflecting our business strategy to increase commercial lending. Residential mortgage loans, including second mortgages, home equities and construction loans were flat and consumer loans decreased $22.1 million, or 4.5%. The allowance for loan losses was $21.3 million at March  31, 2019 and $20.7 million at December 31, 2018.

Mortgage servicing rights. Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) are created as a result of our mortgage banking origination activities and accounted for at fair value. At March 31, 2019, we serviced mortgage loans for others with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $1.97 billion. Total MSRs were $20.2 million  at March 31, 2019 and $22.2 million at December 31, 2018.

The following table represents the activity for MSRs and the related fair value changes during the periods noted:

The fair value of our MSRs is provided by a third party that determines the appropriate prepayment speed, discount and default rate assumptions based on our portfolio. Any measurement of fair value is limited by the conditions existing and assumptions made at a particular point in time. Those assumptions may not be appropriate if they are applied to a different point in time. The following table presents weighted average assumptions utilized in determining the fair value of MSRs at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Prepayment speeds are significantly impacted by mortgage rates. Generally, decreasing mortgage rates encourage increased mortgage refinancing activity, which reduces the life of the loans underlying the MSRs, thereby reducing the value of MSRs. Conversely, increasing mortgage rates inhibit mortgage refinancing activity, which extends the life of the underlying MSRs and increases the value.

Management has made the strategic decision not to hedge mortgage servicing assets at present. Therefore, any future declines in interest rates would likely cause decreases in the fair value of the MSRs, and a corresponding decrease in earnings, whereas increases in interest rates would result in increases in fair value, and a corresponding increase in earnings. Management may choose to hedge the mortgage servicing assets in the future or limit the balance of MSRs by selling them or selling loans with the servicing released.

Deposits. Deposits increased $151.6 million, or 5.6%, to $2.84 billion at March 31, 2019 from $2.69 billion at December 31, 2018.  The following table sets forth information concerning the composition of deposits:

The growth in deposits was driven by an increase of $60.4 million in retail deposits, a $54.6 million increase in municipal deposits and $36.6 million increase in wholesale deposits. Retail growth is primarily a response to marketing and promotions of retail products. At March 31, 2019, wholesale deposits include brokered deposits of $117.9 million and $24.3 million in certificates of deposits from institutional investors. We participate in a reciprocal deposit program that provides access to FDIC-insured deposit products in aggregate amounts exceeding the current limits for depositors. Total deposits includes $112.4 million in reciprocal deposits, including $109.7 million in municipal deposits. The wholesale deposits provide a channel for the Company to seek additional funding outside the Company’s core market.

Borrowings. Total borrowings from the FHLB decreased $164.0 million, or 31.5%, to $355.9 million at March 31, 2019 from $519.9 million at December 31, 2018 as excess funds were utilized to pay down FHLB borrowings. The Company also issued subordinated debt on August 30, 2018 in the amount of $35.0 million. Issuance costs of $1.2 million are being amortized over the term of the debentures.

Stockholders’ equity . Total stockholders’ equity was $363.4 million at March 31, 2019 compared to $357.6 million at December 31, 2018, an increase of 1.6%.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table presents, on a tax equivalent basis, the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated, on a consolidated basis. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased $12.4 million, or 50.1%, to $37.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $24.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to an $11.8 million, or 51.5%, increase in interest on loans and loans held for sale to $34.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $22.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in loan interest income was attributable to a 34.2% increase in average loans outstanding as a result of the Coastway acquisition and organic growth, as well as the shift in mix to higher yielding commercial loans. The average yield on loans and loans held for sale increased 54 basis points. Interest and dividend income on securities increased by $351,000 or 23.5%, from $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, due to an increase in average balances of securities and a 19 basis point increase in the average yield. Income on other interest-earning assets increased $209,000 primarily due to an increase in FHLB dividends.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $6.5 million, or 141.7%, to $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase resulted from a $4.7 million increase in interest expense on deposits and a $1.2 million increase in interest expense on FHLB borrowings. Additionally, subordinated debt of $35.0 million was issued in the third quarter of 2018 resulting in interest expense of $505,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The increase in interest expense on deposits resulted from a 33.1% increase in average balances and a 62 basis point increase in the cost of deposits. Increases in the average balances was driven by the Coastway acquisition and organic growth. The increase in rates was driven by new products with higher rates and an overall competitive deposit market. Average certificates of deposit increased by $316.2 million, or 63.6% and the cost of certificates of deposits was 2.25% for the first quarter of 2019 compared to 1.40% for the first quarter of 2018.  The cost of money market deposits increased 63 basis point to 1.41% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the average balance increased 10.9%. Savings account balances increased 45.8% and there was a 13 basis point increase in the cost of savings accounts as compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in interest expense on FHLB advances reflects the 54.9% increase in average balance and the 69 basis point increase in rate when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The quarter ended March 31, 2019 also includes interest on $35.0 million of subordinated notes of $505,000 and no such expense in the prior year quarter.

Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income on a tax equivalent basis increased $5.9 million, or 29.3%, to $26.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $20.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily a result of the Coastway acquisition and organic commercial loan and deposit account growth. The tax equivalent net interest spread decreased 15 basis points to 2.92% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from 3.07% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis decreased by 7 basis points to 3.19% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from 3.26% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Income Tax Provision. The provision for income taxes and effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $356,000 and 14.7%, respectively, compared to $814,000 and 26.5%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 was impacted by the 2014 Massachusetts state tax refund of $320,000 recognized in the quarter.

Segments. The Company has two reportable segments: HarborOne Bank and HarborOne Mortgage.  Revenue from HarborOne Bank consists primarily of interest earned on loans and investment securities and service charges on deposit accounts.  Revenue from HarborOne Mortgage is comprised of interest earned on loans and fees received as a result of the residential mortgage origination, sale and servicing process.  Effective April 3, 2018, the Bank’s residential mortgage lending division was consolidated with HarborOne Mortgage.  Residential real estate portfolio loans are originated by HarborOne Mortgage and purchased by the Bank.

The table below shows the results of operations for the Company’s segments, HarborOne Bank and HarborOne Mortgage, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and the increase or decrease in those results:

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

Net Income. The Bank’s net income increased by $1.8 million to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.  Pre-tax income was $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a $2.3 million increase from the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in pre-

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

tax income reflects a $6.6 million increase in net interest income and a $232,000 increase in noninterest income partially offset by an increase of $49,000 in provision for loan losses and an increase in noninterest expense of $4.4 million.  The provision for income taxes increased $536,000.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Bank recorded a provision for loan losses of $857,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and $808,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.  The provisions primarily reflect the continued growth in commercial loans and the need for replenishment driven by charge-off activity.   Net charge-offs were $230,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $434,000 for the same period in 2017. Asset quality remained strong with nonperforming assets of $19.3 million and nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.53% at March 31, 2019 as compared to $17.2 million and 0.63%, respectively, at March 31, 2018.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income increased to $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $4.8 million for the prior year period. The following table sets forth the components of noninterest income:

.

The primary reasons for the variances within the noninterest income categories shown in the preceding table are noted below:

The decrease in total mortgage banking income reflects the consolidation of the Bank’s residential mortgage lending division into HarborOne Mortgage at the start of the second quarter of 2018.

The change in the MSRs fair value is consistent with the 28 basis point decrease in the 10-year Treasury Constant Maturity rate.   As interest rates fall, prepayment speeds tend to increase and MSR fair value decreases.  Conversely, the increase for the three months ended March 31, 2018 reflected increasing rates.

The increase in deposit account fees reflects increased debit card interchange income from the addition of Coastway accounts.

The increase in other income is primarily due to interest rate swap fee income. For the quarter ended March 31, 2019 swap fee income was $612,000 as compared to $418,000 for the prior year quarter.  The increase was also a result of increased fees on commercial loans, income generated from the office space rental of former Coastway properties and increased cash surrender value on life insurance.

The primary reasons for the significant variances within the noninterest expense categories shown in the preceding table are noted below:

Compensation and benefits increased primarily due to an increase in salary expense reflecting the additional Coastway employees, annual increases and other additional staffing needs to support Company initiatives.

The increase in occupancy and equipment expense reflects the addition of nine branches from Coastway.

The increase in data processing expense primarily reflects the increase in accounts from the Coastway acquisition.

The increase in deposit insurance reflects increased deposit balances.

Other expenses increased primarily due to the Coastway acquisition. The quarter ended March 31, 2019 included $618,000 of amortization on the core deposit intangible recorded in the acquisition and no such expense in the 2018 quarter. The quarter ended March 31, 2018 included expenses for the Coastway acquisition in the amount of $485,000 and no such expense in the 2019 quarter.

HarborOne Mortgage Segment

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

Net Income. HarborOne Mortgage recorded a net loss of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to net income of $8,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

The primary reasons for the significant variances in the noninterest income category shown in the preceding table are noted below:

The change in the MSRs fair value is consistent with change in the 10-year Treasury Constant Maturity rate. As interest rates fall, prepayment speeds increase and resulting in a decrease in MSR fair value. Conversely, the increase for the three months ended March 31, 2018 reflected increasing rates.

The gain on sale of mortgages increased despite flat residential mortgage originations primarily as a result of increased margins during the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Compensation and benefits increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 due to additional employees from the Coastway acquisition and HarborOne Bank employees that were part of the residential lending division’s consolidation with HarborOne Mortgage. Additionally the quarter ended March 31, 2019 includes severance of $295,000, reflecting continued efforts to right size HarborOne Mortgage in response to economic conditions.

The increase in occupancy and equipment expense reflects increased lease and maintenance expense.

We recorded a provision for loan losses of $857,000 and $808,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  The provisions primarily reflect loan loss allocations commensurate with commercial loan growth and other changes in the loan portfolio. Changes in the provision for loan losses are also based on management’s assessment of loan portfolio growth and composition changes, historical charge-off trends, and ongoing evaluation of credit quality and current economic conditions. Net charge-offs totaled $230,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, or 0.03%, of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis, compared to $434,000 and 0.08% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. Nonperforming assets were $19.3 million at March 31, 2019 compared to $18.5 million at December 31, 2018 and $17.2 million at March 31, 2018. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.53% at March 31, 2019, 0.51% at December 31, 2018 and 0.63% at March 31, 2018. Asset quality remains strong and reflects the Company’s continued efforts to minimize nonperforming assets through diligent collection efforts and prudent workout arrangements.

Management of Market Risk

Net Interest Income Analysis. The Company uses income simulation as the primary tool for measuring interest-rate risk inherent in our balance sheet at a given point in time by showing the effect on net interest income, over specified time frames and using different interest rate shocks and ramps. The assumptions include, but are not limited to, management’s best assessment of the effect of changing interest rates on the prepayment speeds of certain assets and liabilities, projections for account balances in each of the product lines offered and the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in interest rates. These assumptions are inherently changeable, and as a result, the model is not expected to precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in the balance sheet composition and market conditions. Assumptions are supported with quarterly back testing of the model to actual market rate shifts.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

As of March 31, 2019, net interest income simulation results for the Company indicated that our exposure over one year to changing interest rates was within our guidelines. The following table presents the estimated impact of interest rate changes on our estimated net interest income over one year:

(1) The calculated change in net interest income assumes an instantaneous parallel shift of the yield curve.

Economic Value of Equity Analysis. The Company also uses the net present value of equity at risk, or "EVE," methodology. This methodology calculates the difference between the present value of expected cash flows from assets and liabilities. The comparative scenarios assume an immediate parallel shift in the yield curve up 300 basis points and down 100 basis points.

The board of directors and management review the methodology’s measurements for both net interest income and EVE on a quarterly basis to determine whether the exposure resulting from the changes in interest rates remains within established tolerance levels and develops appropriate strategies to manage this exposure.

The table below sets forth, as of March 31, 2019, the estimated changes in the EVE that would result from an instantaneous parallel shift in interest rates. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.

Liquidity Management and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term and long-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities, and borrowings from the FHLB. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, calls of investment securities and borrowed funds and prepayments on loans are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

Management regularly adjusts our investments in liquid assets based upon an assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and (iv) the objectives of our interest rate risk and investment policies.

Our cash flows are composed of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $20.1 million and $28.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities, which consists primarily

of disbursements for loan originations and loan purchases and the purchase of securities, offset by principal collections on loans, proceeds from the sale and maturity of securities, and sales of other real estate owned, and paydowns on mortgage-backed securities, was $11.9 million and $51.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash as a result of financing activities, consisting primarily of the activity in deposit accounts and FHLB advances and results from our strategy of managing growth and cash flows to preserve capital ratios and reduce expenses. Net cash used by financing activities was $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Net cash provided by financing activities was $49.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements. At March 31, 2019, the Company and the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and were considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. See Note 13 to our unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

At March 31, 2019, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $96.0 million and unadvanced funds on loans of $408.3 million. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current loan origination commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from March 31, 2019 totaled $624.4 million. Management expects, based on historical experience, that a substantial portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may use FHLB advances, brokered deposits, or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.  For additional information on financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk see Note 10 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
