NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Columbia Banking System, Inc.
1.
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Columbia Banking System, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “Columbia” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, including its wholly owned banking subsidiary Columbia State Bank (“Columbia Bank” or the “Bank”) and West Coast Trust Company, Inc. (“West Coast Trust”). All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results to be anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2015. The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Due to the timing of the acquisition of Intermountain Community Bancorp (“Intermountain”) on November 1, 2014, our results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 include the acquisition for the entire three month period, however the prior year period’s results of operations do not include the acquisition. See Note 3, Business Combinations, for further information regarding this acquisition.
Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements are disclosed in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have not been any changes in our significant accounting policies compared to those contained in our 2014 Form 10-K disclosure for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. The Update provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The new guidance does not change the accounting for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. ASU No. 2015-05 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements, but does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The Update changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked repurchase financings to secured borrowing accounting, which is consistent with accounting for other repurchase agreements. Additionally, the amendment requires new disclosures on transfers accounted for as sales in transactions that are economically similar to repurchase agreements and requires increased transparency on collateral pledged in secured borrowings. The amendments in this update will be effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 31, 2014, with the exception of the collateral disclosures which will be effective for interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. Early application is not permitted. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the industry topics of the codification. For public companies, this update will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements, but does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations
On November 1, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of Intermountain. The Company paid $131.9 million in total consideration to acquire 100% of the equity interests of Intermountain. The primary reason for the acquisition was to expand the Company’s geographic footprint into the state of Idaho, consistent with its ongoing growth strategy.
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The assets and liabilities, both tangible and intangible, were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the November 1, 2014 acquisition date. Initial accounting for deferred taxes was incomplete as of March 31, 2015. The amount currently recognized in the financial statements has been determined provisionally as the final Intermountain Community Bancorp tax return has not yet been completed. The fair value of the net assets acquired totaled $93.4 million, including $736.8 million of deposits, $502.6 million of loans and $10.9 million of other intangible assets. Goodwill of $38.6 million was recorded as part of the acquisition. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.
The operating results of the Company reported herein include the operating results produced by the acquired assets and assumed liabilities for the period January 1, 2015 to March 31, 2015. Disclosure of the amount of Intermountain’s revenue and net income (excluding integration costs) included in Columbia’s consolidated income statement is impracticable due to the integration of the operations and accounting for this acquisition.
For illustrative purposes only, the following table presents certain unaudited pro forma information for the three month period ended March 31, 2014. This unaudited pro forma information was calculated as if Intermountain had been acquired as of the beginning of the year prior to the date of acquisition. The unaudited pro forma information combines the historical results of Intermountain with the Company’s consolidated historical results and includes certain adjustments reflecting the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments for the respective period. The pro forma information is not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition occurred as of the beginning of the year prior to the acquisition. In particular, no adjustments have been made to eliminate the impact of other-than-temporary impairment losses and losses recognized on the sale of securities that may not have been necessary had the investment securities been recorded at fair value as of the beginning of the year prior to the date of acquisition. The unaudited pro forma information does not consider any changes to the provision for credit losses resulting from recording loan assets at fair value. Additionally, Columbia expects to achieve further operating cost savings and other business synergies, including revenue growth, as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts that follow. As a result, actual amounts would have differed from the unaudited pro forma information presented.

At March 31, 2015, there were 77 U.S. government agency and government-sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations securities in an unrealized loss position, of which 34 were in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more. The decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates relative to where these investments fall within the yield curve and their individual characteristics. Because the Company does not intend to sell these securities nor does the Company consider it more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before the recovery of amortized cost basis, which may be upon maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2015.
At March 31, 2015, there were 66 state and municipal government securities in an unrealized loss position, of which 32 were in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more. The unrealized losses on state and municipal securities were caused by interest rate changes or widening of market spreads subsequent to the purchase of the individual securities. Management monitors published credit ratings of these securities for adverse changes. As of March 31, 2015, none of the rated obligations of state and local government entities held by the Company had a below investment grade credit rating. Because the credit quality of these securities are investment grade and the Company does not intend to sell these securities nor does the Company consider it more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before the recovery of amortized cost basis, which may be upon maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2015.
At March 31, 2015, there were 18 U.S. government agency and government-sponsored enterprise securities in an unrealized loss position, 14 of which were in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more. The decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates relative to where these investments fall within the yield curve and their individual characteristics. Because the Company does not currently intend to sell these securities nor does the Company consider it more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before the recovery of amortized cost basis, which may be upon maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2015.
At March 31, 2015, there were four U.S. government securities in an unrealized loss position, two of which were in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more. The decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates relative to where these investments fall within the yield curve and their individual characteristics. Because the Company does not currently intend to sell these securities nor does the Company consider it more likely than not that it will be required to sell

these securities before the recovery of amortized cost basis, which may be upon maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2015.
At March 31, 2015, there was one other security in an unrealized loss position, which was in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or more. The decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and the additional risk premium investors are demanding for investment securities with these characteristics. The Company does not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2015 as it has the intent and ability to hold the investment for sufficient time to allow for recovery in the market value.

Loans
The Company’s loan portfolio includes originated and purchased loans. Originated loans and purchased loans for which there was no evidence of credit deterioration at their acquisition date and it was probable that we would be able to collect all contractually required payments are referred to collectively as loans, excluding purchased credit impaired loans. Purchased loans for which there was, at acquisition date, evidence of credit deterioration since their origination and it was probable that we would be unable to collect all contractually required payments are referred to as purchased credit impaired loans, or “PCI loans.”

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no material foreign activities. Substantially all of the Company’s loans and unfunded commitments are geographically concentrated in its service areas within the states of Washington, Oregon and Idaho.
The Company has made loans to executive officers and directors of the Company and related interests. These loans are made on the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability. The aggregate dollar amount of these loans was $12.7 million at March 31, 2015 and $13.2 million at December 31, 2014. During the first three months of 2015, there were no advances and repayments totaled $430 thousand.
At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $1.30 billion and $1.08 billion of commercial and residential real estate loans were pledged as collateral on Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (“FHLB”) borrowings and additional borrowing capacity. The Company has also pledged $47.0 million and $46.0 million of commercial loans to the Federal Reserve Bank for additional borrowing capacity at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
