     Timberland Bancorp Earns $1.35 Million in Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2008

HOQUIAM, WA--November 4, 2008 -- Timberland Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSBK)
("Timberland"), the holding company for Timberland Bank ("Bank"), today
reported fiscal fourth quarter profits of $1.35 million, or $0.21 per diluted
share after a $1.50 million addition to its loan loss reserves, compared to
earnings of $2.16 million, or $0.32 per diluted share for the fiscal fourth
quarter of 2007. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, Timberland
reported earnings of $4.01 million, or $0.61 per diluted share compared to
earnings of $8.16 million, or $1.17 per diluted share for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2007. Profit for the year ended September 30, 2008
reflects the non-recurring charge of $2.59 million ($0.39 per diluted share)
taken in June as a result of the Company's withdrawal of its investment in the
AMF family of mutual funds. All per share data has been adjusted to reflect
the two-for-one stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend paid on June
5, 2007.

Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2008 Highlights: (quarter ended September 30, 2008
compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2007)
--  Capital levels remain well above the regulatory threshold for a well
    capitalized designation with a 13.62% total risk based capital ratio.
--  Net interest margin remained strong at 4.36% (an increase of 13 basis
    points from prior quarter).
--  Non-interest income increased 30%.
--  Quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share announced on October 29,
    2008. This represents the 43rd consecutive quarter that Timberland has
    paid a cash dividend.
--  The loan portfolio increased 8% to $558 million from $515 million.
--  Total deposits increased 7% to $499 million from $467 million
--  Total assets increased 6% to $682 million from $645 million.
--  The one-to-four family speculative construction portfolio decreased by
    16% from the prior quarter, accounting for only 5% of the total loan
    portfolio.

"While the economic environment in our markets along Washington's coast
continue to be relatively stable, we are seeing considerable stress in some
parts of the Puget Sound market," said Michael R. Sand, President and CEO. "We
are continuing to monitor our loan portfolio and to work with builders who
have inventory on the market. At September 30th, speculative one-to-four
family residential construction loans represented only 5% of the Bank's loan
portfolio, residential land development loans represented 5% of the portfolio,
and condominium construction loans represented 6% of the portfolio. We are
making appropriate provisions to loan loss reserves in accordance with the
results of our loan loss reserve analysis. An article in the Wall Street
Journal on October 28, 2008 indicated that the Seattle Metro area was judged
to have an 8.8 month supply of home inventory on the market. This compares
quite favorably to many parts of the country some of which appear to have a
supply in excess of 15 months. The Bank's core business remains strong. We
continue to look for opportunities to prudently grow the loan portfolio, to
control operating costs and to reduce our interest expense. The recent news
that the Boeing machinist strike is settled is a welcome development for the
regional outlook, with more than 27,000 workers returning to work."

Capital Ratios and Asset Quality

Timberland remains well capitalized with total risk based capital of 13.62%,
equity to assets of 10.98% and tangible equity to assets of 10.00%. "While we
are well capitalized and have a strong capital base, we are evaluating the
opportunity to increase capital through the Treasury's TARP program to provide
for additional loan growth in accordance with the intent of the program," Sand
noted. "We are currently weighing the costs and benefits of participation."

The non-performing assets ("NPAs") to total assets ratio was 1.83% at
September 30, 2008, with $526,000 in net charge-offs during the quarter and
$648,000 in net charge-offs for the fiscal year. The allowance for loan losses
totaled $8.1 million at September 30, 2008, or 1.42% of loans receivable and
67% of non-performing loans. The allowance for loan losses was $7.1

million, or 1.26% of loans receivable and $4.8 million, or 0.92% of loans
receivable at June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively.

Non-performing loans ("NPLs") increased to $11.99 million at September 30,
2008, and were comprised of 34 loans and 17 credit relationships. Included in
NPLs are 17 single family speculative loans totaling $5.4 million (of which
the largest has a balance of $408,000), a $3.1 million land development loan
in Kennewick, Washington, a $1.4 million participation interest in a land
development loan located in Clark County, Washington, seven individual lot
(land) loans totaling $726,000, one commercial real estate loan in Kitsap
County, Washington for $714,000, three single family home loans totaling
$300,000, three home equity consumer loans totaling $160,000 and one
commercial business loan for $250,000.

Loans with an aggregate balance of $316,000 that were non-performing at the
end of the prior quarter were brought current during the September quarter.
"We sold the property held at June 30, 2008 as other real estate owned
("OREO") for $970,000 and added a single residential property to OREO during
the quarter ended September 30, 2008," Sand stated. OREO and other repossessed
assets decreased to $511,000 at September 30, 2008 and consisted of one
single-family residence in Pierce County and two vehicles.

Balance Sheet Management

Total assets increased 11% on an annualized basis during the quarter to $681.9
million at September 30, 2008, and increased 6% from $644.8 million one year
ago. The increase in assets during the current quarter was a result of an
increase in liquid assets as cash equivalents increased to $42.9 million at
September 30, 2008 from $23.5 million at June 30, 2008.

Net loans receivable increased 8% year-over-year to $557.7 million at
September 30, 2008, from $515.3 million one year ago. During the quarter the
loan portfolio increased by $1.0 million as one-to-four family loans increased
by $6.5 million, commercial real estate loans increased by $5.4 million, land
loans increased by $4.2 million and consumer loans increased by $1.3 million.
These increases were partially offset by an $11.5 million decrease in
multi-family loans, a $2.3 million decrease in commercial business loans and a
$1.7 million decrease in construction and land development loans (net of the
undisbursed portion).

Loan originations decreased to $50.0 million for the quarter ended September
30, 2008 from $80.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and from $66.3
million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The Bank continues to sell
fixed rate one-to four-family mortgage loans into the secondary market for
asset-liability management purposes. During the quarter ended September 30,
2008, fixed rate one-to four-family mortgage loan sales totaled $9.4 million.

Timberland's investment securities decreased by $2.2 million during the
quarter to $31.3 million at September 30, 2008 from $33.5 million at June 30,
2008, primarily as a result of regular amortization and prepayments on
mortgage-backed securities.

Total deposits increased $18.7 million to $498.6 million at September 30, 2008
from $479.9 million at June 30, 2008 primarily as a result of a $22.3 million
increase in money market accounts and a $1.3 million increase in non-interest
bearing checking accounts. These increases were partially offset by a $2.7
million decrease in non-brokered certificates of deposit accounts and a $2.2
million decrease in savings accounts. The increase in money market accounts
was partially a result of a $10.5 million short-term deposit by a commercial
customer that was transferred from the deposit base into the Bank's
Certificate of Deposit Registry Service (CDARS) program in early October 2008.

Total shareholders' equity increased $66,000 to $74.84 million at September
30, 2008 from $74.78 million at June 30, 2008. The increase in shareholders'
equity was primarily due to net income of $1.35 million, which was partially
offset by cash dividends of $762,000 paid to shareholders and a $481,000
change in the accumulated other comprehensive loss category as a result of
market value declines in the Company's available for sale investment
portfolio.
Operating Results

Fiscal fourth quarter revenue (net interest income before provision for loan
losses plus non-interest income), increased 7% to $8.9 million compared with
$8.3 million in the like quarter one year ago. The increase was a result of a
$462,000 increase in non-interest income and a $91,000 increase in net
interest income. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses
increased 1% to $6.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 from
$6.7 million compared to the like quarter one year ago with interest and
dividend income decreasing 6% and interest expense decreasing 16%. Fiscal 2008
core operating revenue (excluding the non-recurring impairment charge incurred
in June 2008) increased 6% to $33.9 million from $32.1 million in

fiscal 2007, with net interest income up 3% and non-interest income increasing
17%. During this challenging interest rate environment, Timberland's net
interest margin remained solid at 4.36% for the current quarter, an increase
of 13 basis points from the 4.23% reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2008
and a decrease of 24 basis points from the 4.60% reported for the quarter
ended September 30, 2007. For fiscal 2008 Timberland's net interest margin was
4.41% compared to 4.69% for fiscal 2007.

In the fourth fiscal quarter Timberland made a provision of $1.5 million to
its allowance for loan losses, up from $500,000 in the quarter immediately
prior and $270,000 in the like quarter in the prior fiscal year. Net
charge-offs for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 totaled $526,000,
compared to $121,000 in the immediately prior quarter and $2,000 in the like
quarter one year ago. Total net charge-offs in fiscal 2008 were $648,000
compared to $11,000 in fiscal 2007.

Non-interest income increased 30% to $2.0 million for the fourth fiscal
quarter from $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, primarily due
to increased service charges on deposits. "We continue to benefit from the
overdraft decisioning software installed this year," stated Sand. For fiscal
2008 non-interest income (excluding the non-recurring impairment charge
incurred in June 2008) increased 17% to $7.0 million from $6.0 million for
fiscal 2007.

Timberland's total operating (non-interest) expenses increased by $543,000 to
$5.40 million for the fourth fiscal quarter from $4.85 million for the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2007 primarily due to a $228,000 increase in salaries and
employee benefits expense, a $224,000 increase in deposit related expenses and
an $86,000 increase in professional fees. The increased salary and benefit
expense was primarily the result of annual salary adjustments (effective
October 1, 2007) and increased employee insurance expenses. The increased
deposit related expenses were primarily a result of expenses associated with
several new deposit related programs implemented during the year and an
increase in FDIC insurance expense recorded as the Bank's credit with the FDIC
was fully depleted during the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Timberland's fiscal
2008 total operating expenses increased 5% to $20.4 million from $19.5 million
for fiscal year 2007 primarily due to increased salaries and employee benefits
expense and increased deposit related expenses. Timberland's efficiency ratio
was 60.96% for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared to 58.47% for the
quarter ended September 30, 2007. Timberland's efficiency ratio (excluding the
non-recurring impairment charge) was 60.06% for the year ended September 30,
2008 compared to 60.54% for the year ended September 30, 2007.
