    PORT ANGELES, Wash., July 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Northwest Bancorp (Nasdaq: FNWB) (“Company”), the holding company for First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles (“Bank” or "First Fed"), today reported net income of $3.0 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 51.6% compared to $2.0 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the second quarter a year ago, and a decrease of 4.0% compared to $3.1 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2021. Second quarter results reflect strong year-over-year revenue generation, solid core deposit and loan growth, and excellent credit quality. The decrease from the prior period was primarily due to lower gains on sale of one- to four-family mortgages and increased compensation expense, partially offset by increased net interest income and a lower provision for loan losses. For the first six months of 2021, net income was $6.1 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, an increase of 114.7% compared to $2.8 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2020.

    The Board of Directors of First Northwest Bancorp declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per common share. The dividend will be payable on August 27, 2021, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 13, 2021.

    “We again delivered solid financial results for the second quarter, demonstrating the sustained strength of our franchise,” said Matthew P. Deines, President and CEO. “Our second quarter profits were up over 50% year-over-year fueled by strong revenue growth and steady loan growth, particularly in the commercial banking area. Gross loans increased over 26%, while total deposits grew over 23%, year-over-year, as we continue to foster new customer relationships. We remain focused on improving our earning asset mix and lowering our cost of funds, which is driving our net interest margin expansion compared to a year ago.”

    “We continue to look ‘outside the box’ to generate organic commercial and consumer activity to benefit our customers,” Deines continued. “To meet the needs of our business customers, we initiated a Small Business Administration (“SBA”) program during the quarter and already are seeing good growth in this new portfolio. In April we started a joint venture and established Quin Ventures, Inc. (“Quin” or “Quin Ventures”) to develop a digital financial wellness platform offering personal financial services to the general public. In July we closed on the previously announced Bellevue branch purchase from Sterling Savings and Trust, and also relocated our Fairhaven branch to 1215 12th Street, Suite 105. Additionally, we are on schedule to open a new branch in Ferndale, Washington in August.”

    Second Quarter 2021 Highlights (at or for the quarter ended June 30, 2021)

    • Second quarter net income was $3.0 million, compared to $3.1 million in the preceding quarter and $2.0 million in the same quarter one year ago.
    • Diluted earnings per share was $0.32, compared to $0.34 per share in the preceding quarter and $0.21 per share in the second quarter a year ago.
    • Provision for loan losses was $300,000 in the second quarter, compared to $500,000 in the first quarter of 2021, and $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2020, reflecting consistent strong credit quality.
    • Loans receivable increased 7.8% to $1.25 billion at June 30, 2021, compared to $1.16 billion at March 31, 2021, and increased 26.4% compared to $986.4 million a year ago, primarily due to growth in commercial real estate, construction and consumer loan portfolios.
    • Deposits increased nominally during the quarter and increased 23.2% from one year prior, to $1.44 billion at June 30, 2021, due to successful organic and wholesale deposit-gathering strategies, including significant growth in noninterest-bearing deposits, which increased 49.4% in the last twelve months. Brokered deposit balances decreased $12 million from March 31, 2021.
    • The cost of total deposits for the second quarter decreased to 0.23% from 0.27% for first quarter 2021 and 0.72% in the second quarter of 2020.
    • Gain on sale of mortgage loans was $921,000 for the second quarter compared to $1.3 million in the previous quarter and $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2020, reflecting a slowdown in refinance activity due to higher rates and lack of inventory available for sale.
    • During the second quarter, the Company repurchased 18,142 shares of common stock at an average price of $17.06 per share for a total of $310,000, leaving 853,888 shares remaining under the 2020 Stock Repurchase Plan approved in October 2020.

    Recent Developments

    On July 23, 2021, First Fed completed the purchase of a Bellevue, Washington based bank branch from Sterling Bank and Trust of Southfield, Michigan. The agreement included the purchase of $65.4 million in deposits. “We are excited for this opportunity to expand our presence in the vibrant King County market as we continue to grow our Northwest footprint. Bellevue is the fifth largest city in Washington, and the Eastside's high-tech hub. With diverse industries, increasing population and a vibrant economy, Bellevue is routinely ranked among the best mid-sized cities in the United States,” said Deines.

    Net loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased $89.9 million, or 7.8%, to $1.25 billion at June 30, 2021, from $1.16 billion at March 31, 2021, and increased $260.0 million, or 26.4%, from $986.4 million a year ago. “We produced solid loan growth in a very competitive operating environment, with total loans increasing 26.1% over the last twelve months,” said Randy Riffle, EVP/Chief Lending Officer. “We continue to pursue lending opportunities in commercial, construction, and SBA programs. We formed an SBA team to build out this program during the quarter and they are producing solid results, helping our business customers and generating fee income. Additionally, new PPP loan production from the SBA’s latest round contributed to loan production, with $2.2 million in new PPP loans funded during the second quarter of 2021 and $32.4 million in PPP loans funded during the first quarter of 2021.” Commercial business loans decreased $7.0 million during the quarter, mainly as the result of a $5.7 million decrease in Northpointe Mortgage Participation program loans, partially offset by a $2.8 million increase in other commercial business loans during the quarter.

    The Company originated $51.9 million in residential mortgages during the second quarter and sold $28.7 million, with an average gross margin on sale of mortgage loans of approximately 2.54%. This production compares to residential mortgage originations of $66.3 million in the preceding quarter with sales of $37.0 million, with an average gross margin of 2.85%. “The low interest rate environment continues to fuel mortgage banking activity, although we are starting to see a modest slowdown in activity compared to the record setting pace of the third and fourth quarters of 2020,” said Kelly Liske, Chief Banking Officer.

    “Deposit balances remain at record levels as we continue to build relationships with both existing and new customers,” said Bullard. “We continue to lower our funding costs by focusing on noninterest-bearing and other core deposit growth, while strategically allowing higher-cost maturing deposits to run off.” The total cost of funds was 0.37% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 0.32% for the first quarter of 2021 and improved from 0.77% for the second quarter of 2020.

    Operating Results

    In the second quarter of 2021, the Company generated a return on average assets ("ROAA") of 0.69%, and a return on average equity ("ROAE") of 6.46%, compared to 0.76% and 6.70%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2021, and 0.56% and 4.60%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2020. For the first six months of 2021, ROAA and ROAE was 0.73% and 6.63%, respectively, compared to 0.42% and 3.24% for the first six months of 2020.

    Total interest income increased to $15.1 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $14.6 million in the previous quarter and $12.4 million in the second quarter of 2020. Interest and fees on loans increased due to loan growth during the current quarter. The current quarter yield on average loans receivable decreased by 10 basis points compared to the same period in the prior year. Total interest expense was $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2021, and $2.2 million in the second quarter a year ago. The increase during the quarter compared to the preceding quarter was due to interest on subordinated debt of $394,000, which was partially offset by a decrease of $116,000 in interest on deposits and other borrowings. For the first six months of 2021, total interest income increased 22% to $29.7 million, compared to $24.3 million for the first six months of 2020. The decrease in interest expense year-over-year was due to the decline in the cost of total deposits to 23 basis points compared to 72 basis points in the second quarter one year ago.

    Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, increased 1.2% during the quarter to $13.6 million, compared to $13.5 million for the preceding quarter, and increased 35.0% compared to $10.1 million in the second quarter a year ago. For the first six months of 2021, net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased 39.0% to $27.1 million, compared to $19.5 million for the first six months of 2020. “As of June 30, 2021, we received SBA proceeds on forgiven loans totaling $21.8 million. Approximately $92,000 of the income recognized during the second quarter was related to deferred fees associated with PPP loan payoffs, compared to $177,000 of the income related to deferred fees associated with PPP loan payoffs in the first quarter of 2021,” Riffle noted.

    The Company recorded a $300,000 provision for loan losses during the second quarter of 2021. This compares to a provision for loan losses of $500,000 for the preceding quarter, and a provision for loan losses of $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2020. The lower quarterly provision reflects improvement in economic conditions and stable credit quality.

    The net interest margin contracted 14 basis points to 3.34% for the second quarter of 2021, compared to 3.48% for the first quarter of 2021, and increased 24 basis points compared to 3.10% for the second quarter in 2020. “The improvement in our earning asset mix and the substantial reduction in our cost of funds has fueled our net interest margin expansion over the last three quarters. The contraction during the current quarter was primarily due to the issuance of subordinated notes in March 2021, which reduced our net interest margin by 9 basis points, and, to a lesser degree, a decrease in our yield on earning assets,” said Bullard. For the first six months of 2021, the net interest margin increased 32 basis points to 3.43%, compared to 3.11% in the first six months of 2020, primarily due to a substantial reduction in the cost of funds as well as an improvement in our earning asset mix. Average total loans increased to 74% of average interest-earning assets compared to 72% one year ago.

    The yield on earning assets decreased 10 basis points to 3.68% for the second quarter of 2021, compared to 3.78% for the first quarter of 2021, and decreased 11 basis points from 3.79% for the second quarter of 2020. The decrease was due to lower yields on the investment portfolio and loans, which was offset by higher average loan balances. The yield on the loan portfolio decreased to 4.30% for the second quarter of 2021, from 4.43% for the first quarter of 2021, and decreased from 4.40% for the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to lower interest rates on refinanced and PPP loans. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 6 basis points to 0.46% for the second quarter of 2021, compared to 0.40% for the first quarter of 2021, and decreased 43 basis points from 0.89% for the second quarter of 2020.

    Noninterest income increased 43.2% to $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2021 from $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2021 and decreased 5.8% compared to $4.1 million for the second quarter a year ago. The second quarter of 2021 included a $921,000 gain on sale of loans compared to a $1.3 million gain on sale of loans in the preceding quarter and a $2.0 million gain on sale of loans in the second quarter a year ago. Noninterest income growth during the second quarter of 2021 also included a $1.1 million gain on sale of investment securities, $315,000 in swap program participation fees and $96,000 of SBA premiums recognized. Loan and deposit service fees increased to $1.0 million for the second quarter 2021, compared to $837,000 for the preceding quarter and $765,000 for the second quarter a year ago. In the year ago quarter, loan and deposit service fees were lower due to accommodations made to help customers affected by the halt on the economy due to the pandemic. For the first six months of 2021, noninterest income increased 2.3% to $6.6 million, compared to $6.4 million in the first six months of 2020, reflecting increases in loan and deposit fees that were partially offset by a lower gain on sale of loans.

    Noninterest expense totaled $13.7 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $12.1 million for the preceding quarter and $10.3 million for the second quarter a year ago. For the first six months of 2021, noninterest expense increased to $25.8 million, from $19.7 million in the first six months of 2020. The increases for both the second quarter and for the year-to-date period reflects higher compensation expense, including salaries, commissions and benefits, as well as costs associated with technology enhancements for digital and mobile banking products.

    Capital Ratios and Credit Quality
    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, 2021. Common Equity Tier 1 and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratios at June 30, 2021 were 14.5% and 15.6%, respectively.

    Nonperforming loans were $1.8 million at June 30, 2021, a decrease from $2.1 million at March 31, 2021. The percentage of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans increased to 817.7%, at June 30, 2021, from 668.1% at March 31, 2021, and 360.8% at June 30, 2020. Classified loans decreased $803,000 during the second quarter to $13.3 million at June 30, 2021, reflecting a one- to four-family loan that was brought current. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.2% at June 30, 2021, which was unchanged compared to three months and one year earlier.
