ANCHORAGE, Alaska, July 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:NRIM) (“Northrim” or the “Company”) today reported net income of $9.90 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $1.03 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2020, and $4.26 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, in the second quarter a year ago. The effort put forth by all of our employees to meet the needs of our community during the pandemic resulted in increased production in the Home Mortgage Lending segment, as well as significant participation in the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) in the Community Banking segment, which contributed to record profitability.Net income for the first six months of 2020 was $10.93 million, or $1.68 per diluted share, compared to $8.57 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2019. The provision for loan losses increased to $2.5 million, compared to a $1.1 million loan loss provision in the first half of 2019.“Our second quarter was highlighted by higher production in new purchase and refinance activity in the Home Mortgage Lending segment, as a result of the historically low interest rate environment. Additionally, PPP loans generated during the quarter had a meaningful impact on loan and deposit growth in the Community Banking segment, which also contributed to strong second quarter results,” said Joe Schierhorn, President and CEO. “In addition to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Alaska’s economy continues to reflect the downturn in the energy sector, particularly with the sharp decline in oil prices. While Alaska is one of the few states that has re-opened, we have taken a structured approach to resuming all branch activities with many employees continuing to work remotely while maintaining our high level of customer service.”“Northrim’s participation in the PPP helped service the needs of our customers and the community,” said Schierhorn. “In early April we made the decision to offer the program to existing customers and new customers. As a result, according to the SBA, Northrim originated more PPP loans than any other financial institution in Alaska, funding 23% of all Alaska PPP loans through the period ending June 30, 2020. We were able to help approximately 1,000 new customers receive PPP funding in addition to helping more than 1,500 of our existing customers who participated in the program.”COVID-19 Issues:Industry Exposure: Northrim has identified various industries that may be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant decline in oil prices. Though the industries affected may change through the progression of the pandemic, the following sectors for which Northrim has exposure, as a percent of the total loan portfolio excluding SBA PPP loans as of June 30, 2020, are: Tourism (6%), Oil and Gas (6%), Aviation (non-tourism) (5%), Healthcare (5%), Accommodations (3%), Retail (2%) and Restaurants (2%).Customer Accommodations: The Company has implemented several forms of assistance to help our customers in the event that they experience financial hardship as a result of COVID-19 in addition to our participation in PPP lending. These accommodations include interest only and deferral options on loan payments, as well as the waiver of various fees related to loans, deposits and other services. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has made the following loan modifications due to the impacts of COVID-19:Consumer loans represent 1% of total loan modifications identified above.Loan Loss Reserve: Northrim booked a loan loss provision of $404,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. This compares to a provision for loan losses of $2.1 million during the previous quarter and a $300,000 provision for loan losses in the second quarter a year ago.Credit Quality: Net adversely classified loans improved to $15.7 million at June 30, 2020, as compared to $25.0 million at June 30, 2019. Net loan chargeoffs were $768,000 in the second quarter of 2020, compared to net loan recoveries of $9,000 in the second quarter of 2019.Branch Operations: All but one branch remained open throughout the quarter. Branch lobbies were available by appointment from March 23 to June 17. All but one branch was fully reopened on June 17 with a number of customers and employee safety measures implemented.Growth and Paycheck Protection Program:
° The Company’s asset base increased during the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, due primarily to loans originated under the SBA’s PPP.
° Through June 30, 2020, Northrim had funded approximately 2,500 PPP loans totaling $353.5 million to both existing and new customers.
° According to the SBA, the Company originated more SBA PPP loans in the State of Alaska than any other financial institution, funding 23% of the number and 28% of the value of all Alaska PPP loans for the period ending June 30, 2020.
° The Company initially utilized the Federal Reserve Bank’s Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (the “PPPLF”) to fund PPP loans, but has since repaid those funds back in full and has funded the SBA PPP loans through core deposits and maturity of long-term investments.Capital Management: At June 30, 2020, the Company’s tangible common equity to tangible assets* ratio was 9.54% and the Bank’s capital was well in excess of all regulatory requirements. As previously announced, the Company suspended its previously announced stock repurchasing activity effective March 26, 2020.Second Quarter 2020 Highlights:Total revenue, which includes net interest income plus other operating income, increased 58% to $35.0 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $22.1 million in the first quarter of 2020 and increased 37% compared to $25.5 million in the second quarter a year ago.
° Community Banking provided 54% of total revenues and 46% of earnings in the second quarter of 2020.
° Home Mortgage Lending provided 46% of total revenue and 54% of earnings in the second quarter of 2020.Net interest income in the second quarter of 2020 was $17.5 million, up 11% from $15.7 million in the preceding quarter and up 9% from $16.0 million in the second quarter a year ago.Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis (“NIMTE”)* was 4.02% in the second quarter of 2020, a 35-basis point contraction compared to the preceding quarter, and a 75-basis point contraction compared to the second quarter a year ago.Return on average assets was 2.04% and return on average equity was 19.44% for the second quarter of 2020.Net loans increased 33% to $1.41 billion at June 30, 2020, compared to $1.06 billion at March 31, 2020, and increased 42% compared to $995.2 million at June 30, 2019.Total deposits increased 24% to $1.74 billion at June 30, 2020, compared to $1.40 billion at March 31, 2020, and increased 35% compared to $1.29 billion a year earlier.The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Residential Mortgage, LLC, generated $212 million or 126% more production during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019.The decrease in mortgage interest rates resulted in a decrease of the Bank’s mortgage servicing rights by $1.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared to a decrease of $930,000 for the preceding quarter and a decrease of $950,000 for the second quarter a year ago.* References to NIMTE, tangible book value per share, tangible common equity and tangible assets (all of which exclude intangible assets) represent non-GAAP financial measures.

(Note: sources for information included in this section are included on page 10.)The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted economies all around the world. In Alaska, the tourism and hospitality industries have been most affected with job losses. Oil prices dropped precipitously at the beginning of the pandemic, but have rebounded recently to healthier levels. The government’s fiscal and monetary response has been far reaching. This has greatly eased the short run impacts of the virus for most of Northrim’s customers.The State Department of Labor reported that a year and a half of positive job growth came to an abrupt end in April of 2020. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in the State of Alaska jumped from 5.6% in March to 13.5% in April. This moderated slightly to 12.6% in May. The comparable U.S. rate peaked at 14.7% in April and decreased to 13.3% in May. In Alaska, every major job sector reported declines year-over-year (“YoY”) in May. Leisure and Hospitality was the most severely impacted, declining 39.7% for a loss of 15,300 jobs in May. Government declined by 7,400 jobs or 9.1%, primarily due to a loss of 6,200 local government jobs. State government declined by 1,000 jobs and Federal government by only 200 jobs. Other major sectors to decline YoY in May of 2020 were: Health Care -2,900; Transportation, Warehousing and Utilities -2,700; Retail Trade -2,600; and Construction -2,400.Oil prices have been fluctuating significantly in 2020 as the global economy reacts to the COVID-19 pandemic. Average monthly Alaska North Slope (“ANS”) crude oil prices began the year averaging $65.48 for the month of January. The virus concerns began to have an effect when monthly ANS prices declined to $54.48 in February and $33.21 in March. In the second quarter of 2020, ANS prices hit a monthly low of $16.54 in April and increased to $28.21 in May. The ANS price improved throughout June and averaged $41.78.Trillions of dollars in federal assistance programs have helped mitigate some of the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in the short run. The Fed Funds rate was decreased 1.5% in March. “This helped reduce borrower’s interest expense dramatically,” stated Mark Edwards, EVP Chief Credit Officer and Bank Economist. “The Federal Reserve is buying corporate bonds, lending to state and municipal governments, and even aiding foreign central banks of our allies to help stabilize global markets. The Fed is adding liquidity to the system to ensure credit markets don’t freeze up.”The SBA PPP program and the Economic Injury Disaster loan program have provided hundreds of billions of dollars to businesses around the country. President and CEO Joe Schierhorn added, “We are proud of Northrim Bank’s role in extensively supporting the SBA’s lending programs. The Federal Reserve’s Main Street Lending Program is also now available to help businesses weather current economic disruptions. Direct grants to states from the CARES Act provided approximately $1.25 billion to Alaska. An increase of $600 in weekly unemployment insurance benefits helped millions of people out of work maintain cash flow. A moratorium on housing foreclosures, coupled with widespread payment forbearance arrangements, kept Americans in their homes.”Alaska’s seasonally adjusted gross state product (“GSP”) was $54 billion in the first quarter of 2020, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (“BEA”) in a report released on July 7, 2020. Alaska’s real GSP decreased 4% annualized for the quarter. Real GSP decreased in all 50 states in the first quarter of 2020 and averaged a decline of 5% for the nation. Alaska’s performance was above average, placing it 13th best of the 50 U.S. states for the quarter. This is following positive growth in Alaska in 2019 of 2.5%, compared to U.S. growth of 2.3% last year. The largest sectors of decline in GSP in Alaska in the first quarter of 2020 were Health Care, Accommodation and food services, and Government.Alaska’s personal income grew 3.7% in 2019 according to a report by the BEA. Total income from all sources in Alaska grew from $44.4 billion at the end of 2018 to $46.1 billion in the first quarter of 2020. Most of the increase came from over $1 billion in improvement of wages in 2019. The first quarter of 2020 saw an annualized growth rate of 1.3% in Alaska.Alaska’s delinquency and foreclosure levels continue to be better than most of the nation. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, Alaska’s foreclosure rate was 0.60% at the end of the first quarter 2020. That compares to 0.63% at the end of 2019. The comparable national average rate was 0.73% in the first quarter of 2020 and 0.78% at the end of 2019.The national survey reported that the percentage of delinquent mortgage loans in Alaska was 3.23% in the first quarter of 2020. This compares to 2.85% at the end of 2019. The delinquency rate for the entire country was higher at 4% in the first quarter of 2020 and 4.07% at the end of 2019.Northrim Bank sponsors the Alaskanomics blog to provide news, analysis, and commentary on Alaska’s economy.

Interest income benefited from the growth in the loan portfolio during the second quarter of 2020, as well as the amortization of PPP loan fees.NIMTE* was 4.02% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 4.37% in the preceding quarter and 4.77% in the second quarter a year ago. “The decline in our NIMTE* compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to the swift reduction in short-term interest rates during the first quarter of 2020 and the resulting effect on yields in the loan portfolio,” said Jed Ballard, Chief Financial Officer. “Also notable was the impact of SBA PPP loans, which reduced our NIMTE* by 15 basis points during the second quarter of 2020.” Northrim’s NIMTE* continues to remain above the peer average posted by the SNL Small Cap U.S. Bank Index with total market capitalization between $250 million and $1 billion as of March 31, 20201.The yield on interest earning assets in the second quarter of 2020 was 4.38%, down 44 basis points from the first quarter of 2020 and down 79 basis points compared to the second quarter a year ago. The cost of funds was 57 basis points in the second quarter of 2020, down 13 basis points compared to the preceding quarter and down 6 basis points compared to the second quarter a year ago. The decrease in cost of funds for the second quarter of 2020 was the result of using the Federal Reserve’s PPPLF with a cost of 35 bps for a portion of the quarter.Provision for Loan LossesNorthrim recorded a provision for loan losses of $404,000 in the second quarter of 2020. This compares to a $2.1 million provision in the first quarter of 2020 and a $300,000 provision in the second quarter a year ago. “The provision for loan losses during the quarter primarily reflects management’s assessment of risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the reduction in oil prices and a slowing Alaska economy, as well as the small growth in the loan portfolio excluding PPP loans,” said Ballard. The total allowance for loan losses to portfolio loans decreased at June 30, 2020 compared to March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019 due to net charge offs during the quarter that were only partially offset by the provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2020.Nonperforming loans, net of government guarantees, improved during the quarter to $12.7 million at June 30, 2020, compared to $13.4 million at March 31, 2020, and $16.9 million at June 30, 2019. The allowance for loan losses was 162% of nonperforming loans, net of government guarantees at the end of the quarter, compared to 157% three months earlier and 121% a year earlier.Other Operating IncomeIn addition to home mortgage lending, Northrim has interests in other businesses that complement its core community banking activities, including purchased receivables financing and wealth management. Other operating income contributed $17.5 million, or 50% of total second quarter 2020 revenues, as compared to $6.4 million, or 29% of revenues in the first quarter of 2020, and $9.6 million, or 37% of revenues in the second quarter of 2019. In the first six months of 2020, other operating income totaled $24.0 million, or 42% of revenues, compared to $17.1 million, or 35% of revenues in the first six months of 2019. The primary drivers of changes in other operating income are variability in the mortgage market, which is seasonal and cyclical and also dependent on changes in mortgage rates, and from the fair value changes of marketable equity securities. The fair value mark-to-market of the marketable equity securities portfolio increased other income by $149,000 in the second quarter of 2020, compared to an $871,000 decrease in the first quarter of 2020 and a $118,000 increase in the second quarter of 2019. There was $17,000 in interest rate swap income in the second quarter of 2020. This compares to no swap income in the preceding quarter and $734,000 in interest rate swap income in the second quarter of 2019 on the execution of interest rate swaps related to the Company’s commercial lending operations. Additionally, purchased receivable income is down significantly as those customers were reportedly using resources from PPP loans, resulting in decreased outstanding purchased receivable balances in the second quarter of 2020.“Additionally, deposit and services charges were down during the second quarter, due to customer accommodations made during the first two months of the quarter,” noted Ballard._______________________________________
1As of March 31, 2020, the SNL Small Cap US Bank Index tracked 108 banks with total common market capitalization between $250 million to $1B with an average for NIMTE* of 3.46%.Other Operating ExpensesOperating expenses were $22.7 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $18.8 million in the first quarter of 2020, and $19.8 million in the second quarter of 2019. Factors impacting other operating expenses include higher compensation costs related to the mortgage banking operations and higher data processing costs in the Community Banking segment due to charges for additional products and services. In the first six months of 2020, operating expenses were $41.5 million, up from $36.9 million in the first six months of 2019.Income Tax ProvisionFor the second quarter of 2020, Northrim recorded $2.0 million in state and federal income tax expense for an effective tax rate of 16.9% compared to $243,000, or 19.0% in the first quarter of 2020 and $1.1 million, or 21.2% in the second quarter a year ago. For the first half of 2020, Northrim recorded $2.3 million in state and federal income tax expense, for an effective tax rate of 17.1% compared to $2.3 million and 21.2% for the same period in 2019.The Company expensed $454,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018 to accrue for a potential increase in tax expense related to an audit that was performed by the State of Alaska for tax years 2014-2016. The Company appealed the State of Alaska’s decision on this matter and reversed the tax accrual of $454,000 in the second quarter of 2020 because the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the court will rule in the Company’s favor.Community Banking“We are proud of the work we have done to provide PPP loans to our Alaskan communities,” said Schierhorn. “Our Community Banking segment continues to provide growth opportunities in the Alaska markets that we serve. In March we opened a loan production office in Kodiak, and we have received regulatory approvals for a new branch in Fairbanks that is scheduled to open later this year. We will continue to look at other markets where we see additional opportunities.” Net interest income in the Community Banking segment totaled $16.6 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $15.3 million in the first quarter of 2020 and $15.6 million in the second quarter of 2019.The following table provides highlights of the Community Banking segment of Northrim:
Home Mortgage Lending“The significant activity in the mortgage market far exceeded normal seasonality in the second quarter of 2020, especially in the refinance market, where refinance activity was up 715% compared to the second quarter a year ago” said Ballard. “We also continue to experience strong new home purchases in our market due to the historically low interest rate environment.”During the second quarter of 2020, mortgage loan volume more than doubled to $381.1 million, of which 35% was for new home purchases, compared to $168.2 million and 54% of loans funded for new home purchases in the first quarter of 2020, and $169.0 million, of which 82% was for new home purchases in the second quarter of 2019.Loan fundings increased during the quarter and year-over-year driven by increased refinance activity. This was partially offset by the net change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights, which decreased mortgage banking income by $1.9 million during the second quarter of 2020.“Our mortgage servicing business, which we initiated to service loans for the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, contracted for the first time in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the significant refinance activity,” added Ballard. As of June 30, 2020, Northrim serviced 2,686 loans in its $655.2 million home-mortgage-servicing portfolio, which is a 3% decrease from the $678.1 million serviced for the first quarter of 2020, and a 9% increase from the $598.4 million serviced a year ago. Mortgage servicing revenue contributed $1.6 million to revenues in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2020 and $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2019. Total mortgage servicing income fluctuates based on the amount of mortgage servicing rights originated during the period and changes in the fair value of those servicing rights, which is driven by interest rate volatility and the amount of serviced mortgages that payoff during the period as well as fluctuations in estimated prepayment speeds based on published industry metrics. The change in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights was a decrease of $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared to a decrease of $930,000 for the first quarter of 2020 and a decrease of $950,000 for the second quarter of 2019. The portion of the change in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights resulting from collection of cash flows, including payoffs, was a decrease of $1 million for the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of $229,000 for the preceding quarter, and a decrease of $320,000 for the same quarter a year ago.The following table provides highlights of the Home Mortgage Lending segment of Northrim:1Principally reflects changes in discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions, which are primarily affected by changes in interest rates, net of collection/realization of expected cash flows over time.1Principally reflects changes in discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions, which are primarily affected by changes in interest rates, net of collection/realization of expected cash flows over time.Balance Sheet ReviewNorthrim’s total assets increased to $2.02 billion at June 30, 2020, up 19% from the preceding quarter and up 30% from a year ago. Northrim’s loan-to-deposit ratio was 82% at June 30, 2020, up from 78% at March 31, 2020 and 79% at June 30, 2019.Average interest-earning assets were $1.76 billion in the second quarter of 2020, up 21% from $1.46 billion in the first quarter of 2020 and up 30% from $1.36 billion in the second quarter a year ago. The average yield on interest-earning assets was 4.38% in the second quarter of 2020, down from 4.82% in the preceding quarter and 5.17% in the second quarter a year ago.Average investment securities decreased to $256.5 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $284.1 million in the first quarter of 2020 and $281.5 million in the second quarter a year ago. The average net tax equivalent yield on the securities portfolio was 2.50% for the second quarter of 2020, down from 2.59% in the preceding quarter and 2.71% in the year ago quarter. The average estimated duration of the investment portfolio at June 30, 2020 was 2.5 years.“Our participation in the PPP bolstered loan production during the quarter. While the loan pipeline remains strong, new loan growth outside of PPP loans has slowed somewhat as companies paused their expansion efforts and placed projects on hold as a result of the uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic and lower oil prices. We have also seen loan activity during the quarter from new customers we obtained through the PPP process,” said Ballard. At June 30, 2020, commercial loans represented 29% of total loans, PPP loans represented 24% of total loans, commercial real estate loans comprised 36% of total loans, and construction loans made up 8% of total loans. Portfolio loans were $1.43 billion at June 30, 2020, up 32% from the preceding quarter and up 41% from a year ago. Portfolio loans excluding the impact from PPP were $1.09 billion at June 30, 2020, up 1% from the preceding quarter and up 7% from a year ago. Average portfolio loans in the second quarter of 2020 were $1.34 billion, up 27% from the preceding quarter and up 34% from a year ago. Yields on average portfolio loans in the second quarter of 2020 decreased to 4.99% from 5.69% in the first quarter of 2020 and decreased compared to 5.96% in the second quarter of 2019.Alaskans continue to account for substantially all of Northrim’s deposit base, which is primarily made up of low-cost transaction accounts. At June 30, 2020, balances in transaction accounts represented 90% of total deposits. Total deposits were $1.74 billion at June 30, 2020, up 24% from $1.40 billion at March 31, 2020, and up 35% from $1.29 billion a year ago. Average interest-bearing deposits were up 10% to $1.02 billion with an average cost of 0.53% in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $925.9 million and an average cost of 0.64% in the first quarter of 2020, and up 24% compared to $818.1 million and an average cost of 0.58% in the second quarter of 2019.“Deposits were up during the quarter in part due to funding PPP loans, but also due to new customer relationships as a result of our significant PPP effort. Our lenders, retail bankers and commercial cash managers have worked hard to meet the needs of our existing and new customers,” said Michael Martin, the Bank’s Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel. “Our suite of deposit products, along with superior “Customer First Service,” is proving to be what businesses are looking for from their community bank.”Shareholders’ equity was $206.9 million, or $32.49 per share, at June 30, 2020, compared to $197.7 million, or $31.06 per share, at March 31, 2020 and $206.3 million, or $30.66 per share, a year ago. Tangible book value per share* was $29.97 at June 30, 2020, compared to $28.53 at March 31, 2020, and $28.27 per share a year ago. Northrim continues to maintain capital levels in excess of the requirements to be categorized as “well-capitalized” with Tier 1 Capital to Risk Adjusted Assets of 13.99% at June 30, 2020, compared to 13.25% at March 31, 2020, and 15.03% at June 30, 2019.Asset Quality“Several credit quality metrics improved during the second quarter of this year compared to three months earlier despite the current economic environment we are in, and we were actively communicating with borrowers and offering them solutions. We remain diligent with monitoring the loan portfolio during this new economic cycle,” said Martin.Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) net of government guarantees were $20.8 million at June 30, 2020, up from $19.6 million at March 31, 2020 and down from $23.9 million a year ago. Of the NPAs, $10.4 million, or 50% are nonaccrual loans and nonperforming purchased receivables related to five commercial relationships. Two of these relationships, which totaled $5.8 million at June 30, 2020, are businesses in the medical industry.Net adversely classified loans improved to $15.7 million at June 30, 2020, as compared to $17.4 million at March 31, 2020, and $25.0 million a year ago. Net loan charge offs were $768,000 in the second quarter of 2020, compared to net loan charge offs of $131,000 in the first quarter of 2020, and net loan recoveries of $9,000 in the second quarter of 2019. Adversely classified loans are loans that Northrim has classified as substandard, doubtful, and loss, net of government guarantees.
