First Northwest Bancorp Reports Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Board Announces Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.04 per Share

PORT ANGELES, Wash.--()--First Northwest Bancorp (Nasdaq: FNWB) (“Company”), the holding company for First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles (“Bank” or "First Federal"), announced its operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The Company reported net income of $2.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.1 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, and net income of $1.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. The Company reported net income of $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, or $0.68 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.0 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Company also announced today that the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.04 per common share outstanding, payable on December 6, 2019, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 22, 2019.

Larry Hueth, President and CEO of First Northwest Bancorp, commented, "We continued to make progress this quarter as we successfully navigate our CEO succession plan. We are well positioned to enhance our balance sheet structure and grow earnings per share. A mortgage loan pool sale was completed during the quarter which enhanced on-balance sheet liquidity. This was designed to give our new CEO much greater flexibility as he prepares the Bank for further growth as we head into 2020 and beyond. Asset quality remains solid at this stage of the economic cycle and we do not see any significant concerns on the horizon.”

Our focus is to enhance this incredible brand in our existing markets and to be opportunistic to expand in Western Washington,” said Matt Deines, President and CEO of First Federal. “We intend to leverage excess capital, grow returns on average equity, and build long term shareholder value. I feel even more strongly than when I first arrived that First Northwest Bancorp is one of the best opportunities available in terms of building sustainable value.”

Quarter highlights (at or for the quarter ended September 30, 2019)

  • Net income increased $431,000, or 20.7%, to $2.5 million compared to $2.1 million for the linked quarter and increased $584,000, or 30.3%, compared to $1.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018;
  • Diluted earnings per share increased $0.04 to $0.25 from the linked quarter and increased $0.06 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2018;
  • Loans receivable decreased $32.8 million during the current quarter, primarily due to the sale of mortgage loans, and increased $1.7 million compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to growth in auto, commercial real estate, and construction and land loans;
  • Deposits increased $37.4 million during the current quarter and increased $39.1 million compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to an increase in brokered certificates of deposit;
  • The Company repurchased 131,400 shares of common stock at an average price of $16.33 per share for a total of $2.2 million during the quarter under the 2017 Stock Repurchase Plan approved in September 2017.

Balance Sheet Review

During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, total assets decreased $7.4 million to $1.3 billion, primarily due to decreases in loans receivable partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing deposits in banks. Total assets increased $12.5 million from September 30, 2018, mainly due to an increase in interest-bearing deposits in banks offset by a decrease in investment securities.

Investment securities increased $804,000 during the quarter to $288.8 million, due to security purchases of $9.5 million offset by repayment activity. U.S. government agency issued mortgage-backed securities ("MBS agency") comprised the largest portion of our investment portfolio at 55.5%, and totaled $160.2 million at September 30, 2019, while other investment securities totaled $119.4 million and corporate MBS totaled $9.3 million at quarter end. The estimated average life of the total investment securities portfolio declined to 4.5 years at September 30, 2019, from 4.6 years at June 30, 2019, while the average repricing term declined to approximately 3.2 years from 3.3 years over the same period.

Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, decreased $33.0 million to $846.1 million at September 30, 2019, from $879.1 million at June 30, 2019. During the quarter, we sold $28.5 million of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans at a gain, which repositioned our mix of earning assets and enhanced on balance sheet liquidity, positioning us for future growth. In addition, we experienced prepayment activity in our multi-family and commercial real estate loan portfolios, for which we were able to collect prepayment fees but did not have sufficient new lending activity to make up for both this prepayment activity and the sale of a large pool of loans during the quarter. We continue our efforts to grow the loan portfolio, utilizing a combination of organic originations and prudent wholesale and loan participation opportunities.

Undisbursed construction loan commitments remained relatively stable at $38.7 million at both September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019. There was a slight decline in auto and other consumer loans during the quarter, mainly as a result of a decrease in indirect auto lending; however, we do intend to continue to grow our specialty auto loan purchasing program, which, in the absence of significant prepayment activity, we expect will be the main driver for increases in the consumer portfolio going forward.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, total liabilities decreased $8.3 million to $1.1 billion, primarily the result of a decrease in borrowings of $46.0 million to $85.3 million at September 30, 2019, from $131.3 million at June 30, 2019, partially offset by an increase in deposits. Deposit balance increases were mainly the result of increases in certificates of deposit as we continued utilizing brokered certificates of deposit ("brokered CDs") as an additional funding source. We had $37.2 million and $13.7 million in brokered CDs included in our balance of certificates of deposit at September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019, respectively.

Total liabilities increased $7.1 million over the last year, mainly attributable to growth in deposits of $39.1 million and a decrease in borrowings of $36.2 million. Deposit increases were primarily the result of brokered CDs. Other liabilities increased over the last year mainly as a result of implementing the new Lease accounting standard in January 2019.

Total shareholders' equity increased $909,000 during the quarter to $177.3 million at September 30, 2019, mainly the result of a $675,000 increase in the value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio and net income of $2.5 million, partially offset by the $2.2 million decrease from the repurchase of shares of common stock during the quarter.

Operating Results

Interest income decreased $305,000 to $12.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, due to lower average loan and investment security balances. Interest income increased $540,000 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2018, due to higher average loan balances and yields. Year-to-date interest income increased $3.2 million compared to the same period in 2018, also due to higher average loan balances and yields.

Interest expense decreased during the most recent quarter mainly as a result of a decrease in the utilization of Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings. The increase in interest expense year over year was mainly due to an increase in rates paid on customer certificates of deposit and savings accounts.

We recorded a recapture of provision for loan losses of $170,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2019, compared to a provision expenses of $255,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, and $197,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The recapture of provision expense in the current quarter was primarily due to a decrease in loan balances resulting from the sale of one- to four-family residential loans.

The net interest margin increased seven basis points to 3.17% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, compared to 3.10% for the prior quarter ended June 30, 2019, and decreased eight basis points from 3.25% for the same period in 2018. While we have seen margin compression compared to the same period in 2018, we were able to improve our net interest margin slightly compared to the linked quarter, mainly due to a decrease in FHLB borrowings. In addition to lessening our reliance on FHLB overnight advances, we prepaid $15 million of long-term advances at rates of 3.79% to 3.82%. We may see margin compression in future periods due to our desire to grow loans and deposits in a highly competitive market environment.

Noninterest income increased $278,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, compared to the prior quarter ended June 30, 2019, due primarily to an increase in the gain on sale of loans partially offset by a decrease in loan and deposit service fees. Noninterest income increased $661,000 compared to the same quarter in 2018, mainly as a result of an increase in the gain on sale of loans.

Noninterest expense increased $152,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2019, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2019, and increased $305,000 compared to the same quarter in 2018, primarily due to penalties paid on the early retirement of long-term FHLB advances during the quarter. We also had additional expenses related to our CEO transition. The Bank received a Small Bank Credit on FDIC insurance during the quarter, refunding a portion of previously paid FDIC insurance premiums. We expect the Small Bank Credit to offset FDIC insurance premiums in Q4 of 2019 and provide a partial credit for Q1 2020 premiums.

Capital Ratios and Credit Quality

The Company and the Bank continue to maintain capital levels in excess of the applicable regulatory requirements and the Bank was categorized as “well-capitalized” at September 30, 2019.

Nonperforming loans increased $31,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2019, to $1.3 million, mainly due to auto loans. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.2% at September 30, 2019, 0.1% at June 30, 2019, and 0.3% at September 30, 2018. The percentage of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans decreased to 714.3% at September 30, 2019, from 753.8% at June 30, 2019, and increased from 377.5% at September 30, 2018. Classified loans increased $1.5 million during the current quarter to $4.6 million at September 30, 2019, reflecting risk rating downgrades in commercial business, auto, and one- to four-family loans during the quarter. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.1% at both September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019, remaining stable due to continued overall good asset quality.
