PORT ANGELES, Wash., July 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "In spite of challenging times for the entire industry as a result of the rate environment, First Northwest executed on a balance sheet restructure strategy. The restructure included a sale-leaseback transaction for six of our branches, a restructure of our bank-owned life insurance policies, two securities loss sale transactions, two balance sheet hedges against fixed rate loans and municipal bonds and the sale of our Visa B shares," commented Matthew P. Deines, President and CEO. "As a result, we reached an inflection point for the net interest margin in the second quarter after declines for the preceding five quarters. We also reduced wholesale funding reliance in the current quarter, and today are announcing significant expense reduction through a reduction in force which we expect will positively impact earnings in the second half of 2024 and into 2025. We still have substantial work to do in order to produce stronger earnings. However, we believe we have laid the groundwork for improved earnings moving forward as lower yielding assets reprice, payoff and paydown in line with contractual commitments.
"First Northwest continues our efforts to deemphasize real estate lending to focus on generating loans and deposits from small-to-medium sized businesses in our markets. Year-to-date in 2024, real estate loans are essentially flat, while non-real estate loans increased by 12%, or approximately $44 million. We believe that this diversification strategy will decrease interest rate risk and will allow us to build stronger relationships with businesses in our footprint.
"There was a substantial increase to our provision for credit losses this quarter. This was related to two borrowing relationships which we have been managing closely since the beginning of 2023. We have appointed a receiver for both relationships and we are working to resolve these problem assets as quickly as possible."
The Board of Directors of First Northwest Bancorp declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per common share. The dividend will be payable on August 23, 2024, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 9, 2024.

First Northwest Bancorp (Nasdaq: FNWB) ("First Northwest" or "Company") today reported net income of $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $396,000 for the first quarter of 2024 and $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2023. Basic and diluted income per share were $0.16 for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $0.04 for the first quarter of 2024 and $0.20 for the second quarter of 2023. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company generated a return on average assets of 0.26%, a return on average equity of 3.50% and a return on average tangible common equity* of 3.53%. Income before provision for income taxes was $1.8 million for the current quarter, compared to $843,000 for the preceding quarter, an increase of $909,000, or 107.8%, and decreased $424,000 compared to income of $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2023.
The Bank continued efforts to restructure the balance sheet to improve earnings, which started in the fourth quarter of 2023. The Bank completed a sale-leaseback transaction involving six branch locations in May 2024. The sale of the branches resulted in a $7.9 million gain on sale of premises and equipment recorded during the second quarter of 2024. Monthly rent expense increased $130,000 as a result of the leaseback for an annual estimated increase of $1.6 million, partially offset by a $204,000 annual reduction to depreciation expense.
Investment security purchases during the second quarter of 2024 totaled $7.8 million, carrying an estimated weighted-average yield of 6.7% with a weighted-average life of 3.6 years. The Bank sold $23.2 million of securities with an average yield of 3.1% during the second quarter of 2024. Proceeds of $21.1 million were used to pay down borrowings carrying an average rate of 5.5%.
The fair value hedge on loans, tied to the compounded overnight index swap using the secured overnight financing rate index, established in the first quarter of 2024 added $551,000 to interest income year-to-date. The fair value hedge on loans reduces interest rate risk by reducing liability sensitivity while increasing interest income. We estimate that if rates remain unchanged, this hedge will add $1.4 million of annualized interest income in 2024. The estimated impact will be reduced if the Federal Reserve implements rate cuts during the year. The Bank should maintain a positive carry on its derivative for up to five rate cuts.
The balance sheet restructure plan also includes the surrender of $22.5 million and exchange of $3.5 million of existing BOLI contracts to reinvest in higher yielding products. The first-year revenue increase will be partially offset by taxes on surrender values and charges on exchanged contracts. The first $6.1 million policy earning 2.58% was surrendered during the first quarter and reinvested into a policy earning 5.18%. The remaining surrender transactions are expected to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.
Net Interest Income
Total interest income increased $1.3 million to $28.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $27.3 million in the previous quarter, and increased $3.2 million compared to $25.5 million in the second quarter of 2023. Interest income increased in the current quarter due to higher yields on loans and investments combined with an increased volume in both categories. Interest and fees on loans increased year-over-year as the loan portfolio grew as a result of draws on new and existing lines of credit, originations of commercial real estate, commercial business and home equity loans, and auto and manufactured home loan purchases. Loan yields increased over the prior year due to higher rates on new originations as well as the repricing of variable and adjustable-rate loans tied to the Prime Rate or other indices.
Total interest expense increased $978,000 to $14.4 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $13.4 million in the first quarter of 2024, and increased $4.9 million compared to $9.5 million in the second quarter of 2023. Interest expense for the current quarter was higher due to a 4 basis point increase in the cost of deposits to 2.47% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, from 2.43% for the prior quarter as a result of customers shifting deposit balances into higher paying products. While the cost of deposits continued to rise during the current quarter, it is significantly lower than the 31 basis point increase reported during the first quarter of 2024. The increase over the second quarter of 2023 was the result of a 93 basis point increase in the cost of deposits from 1.54% in the second quarter one year ago. A shift in the deposit mix from transaction and savings accounts to money market accounts and CDs also added to the higher cost of deposits compared to the second quarter of 2023. Higher costs of brokered CDs also contributed to additional deposit costs with a 150 basis point increase to 4.94% for the current quarter compared to 3.44% for the second quarter one year ago.
Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2024 increased $323,000, or 2.3%, to $14.3 million, compared to $13.9 million for the preceding quarter, and decreased $1.7 million, or 10.8%, from the second quarter one year ago.
The Company recorded a $4.2 million provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to reserves taken on individually evaluated loans, charge-offs from the Splash unsecured consumer loan program and an increase in the estimated pooled loss rates used in the Current Expected Credit Loss model. Decreases attributable to the loss factors applied to home equity lines of credit, commercial real estate and consumer loans at quarter end were offset by increases to the loss factors applied to one-to-four family, commercial business and multi-family loans. Higher loss factors and a moderate increase in commitment balances also resulted in a provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments at quarter end. This compares to a credit loss provision of $970,000 for the preceding quarter and a provision of $300,000 for the second quarter of 2023.
The net interest margin increased to 2.77% for the second quarter of 2024, from 2.76% for the prior quarter, and decreased 48 basis points from 3.25% for the second quarter of 2023. The increase over the linked quarter is reflective of higher yields received on increased volumes of loans and investments outpacing an increased cost on a higher volume of borrowings. The decrease in net interest margin from the same quarter one year ago is due to higher funding costs for deposits and borrowed funds. The weighted-average yield on new loan originations was 8.24%, which partially offset the increase in the cost of funds. Organic loan production comprised 60% of new loan commitments for the second quarter with the remaining 40% added through purchases of higher-yielding loans from established third-party relationships. The Bank's fair value hedging agreements on securities and loans added $174,000 and $378,000, respectively, to interest income for the second quarter of 2024.
The yield on average earning assets for the second quarter of 2024 increased 14 basis points to 5.56% compared to the first quarter of 2024 and increased 39 basis points from 5.17% for the second quarter of 2023. The second quarter increase is attributable to higher loan volume and rates at origination and increased yields on variable-rate loans. The yield on investment securities was positively impacted by higher rates and increased volume as a result of the securities restructuring. The year-over-year increase in interest income was primarily due to higher average loan balances augmented by increases in yields on all earning assets, which were positively impacted by the rising rate environment.
The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased 14 basis points to 3.28% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 3.14% for the first quarter of 2024, and increased 95 basis points from 2.33% for the second quarter of 2023. Total cost of funds increased to 2.87% for the second quarter of 2024 from 2.74% in the prior quarter and increased from 1.98% for the second quarter of 2023.
Current quarter increases were due to higher costs on interest-bearing customer deposits due to competitive pressures related to continued higher market rates and migration from lower costing deposits to higher yield money market accounts. The average brokered CDs balance increased $3.6 million from the linked quarter with no change in the average rate paid.
The increase over the same quarter last year was driven by higher rates paid on deposits and borrowings and higher average CD balances. The Company attracted and retained funding through the use of promotional products and a focus on digital account acquisition during 2023. The mix of retail deposit balances shifted from no or low-cost transaction accounts towards higher cost term certificate and higher yield money market and savings products. Retail CDs represented 26.8%, 28.4% and 25.8% of retail deposits at June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Average interest-bearing deposit balances increased $14.1 million, or 1.0%, to $1.41 billion for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 and increased $74.0 million, or 5.6%, compared to $1.33 billion for the second quarter of 2023.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased to $7.4 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2024. A sale-leaseback transaction involving six branch properties was completed in the second quarter of 2024, resulting in a gain on sale of premises and equipment of $7.9 million. The Bank also sold lower-yielding securities which resulted in a recorded loss of $2.1 million in the current quarter. The proceeds from these activities were used to pay down higher-cost borrowings. Income from the gain on sale of loans in the current quarter includes $116,000 from SBA loans.
Noninterest income increased 329.4% from $1.7 million in the same quarter one year ago, primarily due to the sale-leaseback and security sales transactions described above.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense totaled $15.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $14.3 million for the preceding quarter and $15.2 million for the second quarter a year ago. Increases were primarily due to incentive compensation of $436,000, a one-time tax assessment on the sale-leaseback of $359,000 and additional rent expense of $239,000 for the six properties sold in the sale-leaseback transaction. Other expense increased this quarter due to the one-time entry recorded in the first quarter of 2024 of $218,000 reducing the expense accrued for a civil money penalty. Current quarter decreases included a reduction in legal fees of $116,000, auditing services of $52,000 and consulting fees of $58,000.
The increase in total noninterest expenses compared to the second quarter of 2023 is mainly due to higher incentive compensation of $133,000, payroll taxes of $175,000, tax on the sale-leaseback of $359,000 and additional rent of $239,000, partially offset by lower advertising costs of $552,000, legal fees of $149,000 and consulting fees of $124,000. The Company continues to focus on controlling compensation expense and reducing advertising and other discretionary spending while higher market rates and an inverted yield curve persists, which are outside forces actively compressing the net interest margin.

Investment Securities
Investment securities decreased $19.2 million, or 5.9%, to $306.7 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $326.0 million three months earlier, and decreased $15.3 million compared to $322.0 million at June 30, 2023. The Bank sold $23.2 million of lower-yielding securities and purchased $7.5 million, at higher rates, during the second quarter of 2024. The market value of the portfolio increased $848,000 during the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to changes in portfolio mix. At June 30, 2024, municipal bonds totaled $78.8 million and comprised the largest portion of the investment portfolio at 25.7%. Agency issued mortgage-backed securities ("MBS agency") were the second largest segment, totaling $77.3 million, or 25.2%, of the portfolio at quarter end. Included in MBS non-agency are $29.8 million of commercial mortgaged-backed securities ("CMBS"), of which 89.8% are in "A" tranches and the remaining 10.2% are in "B" tranches. Our largest exposure in the CMBS portfolio is to long-term care facilities, which comprises 65.2%, or $19.4 million, of our private label CMBS securities. All of the CMBS bonds have credit enhancements ranging from 28.8% to 99.8%, with a weighted-average credit enhancement of 55.2%, that further reduces the risk of loss on these investments.
The estimated average life of the securities portfolio was approximately 7.8 years at the current quarter end, the prior quarter and the second quarter of 2023. The effective duration of the portfolio was approximately 4.3 years at June 30, 2024, compared to 4.4 years in the prior quarter and 5.2 years at the end of the second quarter of 2023. Our recent investments have primarily been floating rate securities to take advantage of higher short-term rates above those offered on cash and to reduce our liability sensitivity.

Loans and Unfunded Loan Commitments
Net loans, excluding loans held for sale, decreased $10.5 million, or 0.6%, to $1.68 billion at June 30, 2024, from $1.69 billion at March 31, 2024, and increased $61.4 million, or 3.8%, from $1.62 billion one year ago.
Auto and other consumer loans increased $16.8 million during the current quarter with $12.7 million of new Woodside auto loan purchases, $9.9 million of First Help auto loan purchases and Triad manufactured home loan purchases totaling $8.1 million, partially offset by payments. Multi-family loans increased $10.5 million during the current quarter. The increase was primarily the result of $12.7 million of construction loans converting into permanent amortizing loans, partially offset by scheduled payments. One-to-four family loans increased $6.0 million during the current quarter as a result of $12.0 million in residential construction loans that converted to permanent amortizing loans, partially offset by payments. Home equity loans increased $222,000 over the previous quarter due to organic home equity loan production of $2.1 million and draws on new and existing commitments offset by payments.
Commercial business loans decreased $16.5 million, primarily attributable to payment activity and a $5.8 million decrease in our Northpointe Bank Mortgage Purchase Program participation which were partially offset by organic originations totaling $6.9 million and draws on existing lines of credit of $3.3 million. Construction loans decreased $14.1 million during the quarter, with $25.4 million converting into fully amortizing loans, partially offset by draws on new and existing loans. New single-family residence construction loan commitments totaled $2.7 million in the second quarter, compared to $1.9 million in the preceding quarter. Commercial real estate loans decreased $9.6 million during the current quarter compared to the previous quarter as payoffs and scheduled payments exceeded originations of $4.5 million.
The Company originated $5.0 million in residential mortgages during the second quarter of 2023 and sold $4.9 million, with an average gross margin on sale of mortgage loans of approximately 2.05%. This production compares to residential mortgage originations of $5.0 million in the preceding quarter with sales of $5.2 million, and an average gross margin of 2.16%. Single-family home inventory remains historically low and higher market rates on mortgage loans continue to limit saleable mortgage loan production.

Deposits
Total deposits increased $41.7 million to $1.71 billion at June 30, 2024, compared to $1.67 billion at March 31, 2024, and increased $55.2 million, or 3.3%, compared to $1.65 billion one year ago. During second quarter of 2024, total retail customer deposit balances increased $10.2 million and brokered deposit balances increased $31.5 million. Compared to the preceding quarter, there were balance increases in brokered CDs of $31.5 million, business demand accounts of $20.9 million, business money market accounts of $18.3 million and consumer money market accounts of $9.3 million. These increases were partially offset by decreases in consumer CDs of $18.1 million, consumer savings accounts of $7.8 million, consumer demand accounts of $5.6 million, business savings accounts of $4.2 million, business CDs of $2.0 million, and public fund CDs of $664,000, during the second quarter of 2024. Increases in demand and money market accounts were driven by customer behavior as they sought out higher rates offered as CD specials matured. Overall, the current rate environment continues to contribute to greater competition for deposits with additional deposit rate specials offered to attract new funds.
The Company estimates that $328.4 million, or 24%, of total deposit balances were uninsured at June 30, 2024. Approximately $272.7 million, or 16%, of total deposits were uninsured business and consumer deposits with the remaining $134.1 million, or 8%, consisting of uninsured public funds at June 30, 2024. Uninsured public fund balances were fully collateralized. The Bank holds an FHLB standby letter of credit as part of our participation in the Washington Public Deposit Protection Commission program which covered $116.6 million of related deposit balances while the remaining $17.5 million was fully covered through pledged securities at June 30, 2024.
As of June 30, 2024, consumer deposits made up 57% of total deposits with an average balance of $23,000 per account, business deposits made up 22% of total deposits with an average balance of $53,000 per account, public fund deposits made up 8% of total deposits with an average balance of $1.6 million per account and the remaining 13% of account balances are brokered CDs. We have maintained the majority of our public fund relationships for over 10 years. Approximately 68% of our customer base is located in rural areas, with 19% in urban areas and the remaining 13% are brokered deposits as of June 30, 2024.

Asset Quality
The allowance for credit losses on loans ("ACLL") increased $3.5 million from $18.0 million at March 31, 2024, to $21.5 million at June 30, 2024. The ACLL as a percentage of total loans was 1.26% at June 30, 2024, increasing from 1.05% at March 31, 2024, and from 1.06% one year earlier. The current quarter increase can be attributed to reserves taken on individually evaluated loans and an increase to the loss factors applied as a result of the current economic forecast.
Nonperforming loans totaled $30.3 million at June 30, 2024, an increase of $10.8 million from March 31, 2024, primarily attributable to a $8.1 million commercial construction loan placed on nonaccrual due to credit concerns during the current quarter, a $733,000 increase to a commercial construction relationship previously placed on nonaccrual, two delinquent commercial business loans with an aggregate total of $1.8 million, a $535,000 delinquent purchased one-to-four family loan and three delinquent auto loans totaling $406,000. The percentage of the allowance for credit losses on loans to nonperforming loans decreased to 71% at June 30, 2024, from 92% at March 31, 2024, and from 677% at June 30, 2023. This ratio continues to decline as higher balances of real estate loans are included in nonperforming assets with no significant corresponding increase to the ACLL as these loans are considered adequately collateralized.
Classified loans increased $11.3 million to $46.4 million at June 30, 2024, due to the downgrade of the five loans noted above during the second quarter. A $15.2 million construction loan relationship, which became a classified loan in the fourth quarter of 2022; a $9.2 million commercial loan relationship which became classified in the fourth quarter of 2023; and the $8.1 million commercial construction loan relationship which became classified in the current quarter, account for 70% of the classified loan balance at June 30, 2024. The Bank has exercised legal remedies, including the appointment of a third-party receivership and foreclosure actions, to liquidate the underlying collateral to satisfy the real estate loans in these three collateral dependent relationships.

Capital
Total shareholders' equity increased to $162.5 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $160.5 million three months earlier, due to net income of $1.4 million, an increase in the after-tax fair market values of the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio and derivatives of $666,000 and $173,000, respectively, partially offset by dividends declared of $662,000.
Book value per common share was $17.19 at June 30, 2024, compared to $17.00 at March 31, 2024, and $16.56 at June 30, 2023. Tangible book value per common share* was $17.02 at June 30, 2024, compared to $16.83 at March 31, 2024, and $16.39 at June 30, 2023.
Capital levels for both the Company and its operating bank, First Fed, remain in excess of applicable regulatory requirements and the Bank was categorized as "well-capitalized" at June 30, 2024. Common Equity Tier 1 and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratios at June 30, 2024, were 12.6% and 13.8%, respectively.

| Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release contains financial measures that are not in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Non-GAAP measures are presented where management believes the information will help investors understand the Company's results of operations or financial position and assess trends. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure is also provided. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Other banking companies may use names similar to those the Company uses for the non-GAAP financial measures the Company discloses, but may calculate them differently. Investors should understand how the Company and other companies each calculate their non-GAAP financial measures when making comparisons. Reconciliations of the GAAP and non-GAAP measures are presented below. | ||||||||||||||||||||
