Washington Federal Inc. announced unaudited consolidated earnings results for the third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2010.

Net interest income was $99,285,000 compared with $94,253,000 a year ago. This increase is the result of a significant decline in deposit costs and growth in the balance sheet, partially offset by reduced yield on earning assets. Interest income was $167,371,000 compared with $169,801,000 a year ago. Income before income taxes was $19,795,000 compared with $11,679,000 a year ago.

The significant increase in year to date earnings was due primarily to the one-time after tax gain of $54.8 million related to the FDIC-assisted acquisition in the second fiscal quarter. Interest income was $498,076,000 compared with $524,508,000 a year ago. Net interest income was $294,091,000 compared with $277,748,000 a year ago.
