"The company returned to profitability in Q1 2024 following the
first step of our balance sheet restructure in the fourth quarter
of 2023," said Matthew P. Deines, President and CEO. "We continue
to execute on this strategy as we added over $90 million in current
market rate loans and securities over the course of the first
quarter. We will continue this strategy in the second quarter as we
prepare to execute on a sale-leaseback transaction for six of our
branches located on the Olympic Peninsula. We anticipate this
transaction will enable additional securities sales, furthering our
goal of increasing our net interest margin and overall
profitability. We were able to manage operating expenses well
during the quarter and we maintain our disciplined approach to
improving earnings per share and return on average equity.
"We are making good progress on our small business lending
program, operating accounts for small to medium sized businesses
and an enhancement to our digital business banking
platform. We are also focused on reducing our reliance on term
deposits, both brokered and retail. Term deposits decreased during
the quarter by $39.9 million or 6.1%. Non-maturity deposits
increased by $29.7 million or 2.9% over the past three months.
Other than two previously identified criticized loans, we have not
seen deterioration in our credit quality metrics during the
quarter. Classified loans remain at 2.1% of total loans, consistent
with levels at December 31, 2023. Both of these loan relationships
have been evaluated for individual impairment as of March 31, 2024,
and the total reserve for these relationships is zero, as the
discounted collateral value on these loans appears to be sufficient
to repay the principal balances in full.
"We completed our 2020 stock buyback plan during the quarter and
to date have repurchased over 25% of the shares issued in our 2015
initial public offering. On April 23, 2024, the Board of Directors
approved a new stock buyback plan for up to 10% of the shares
currently outstanding. Our capital position remains strong with all
bank level regulatory ratios above the well-capitalized
criteria."
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 May 24, 2024, to shareholders of record
as of the close of business on May 10, 2024.

First Northwest Bancorp (Nasdaq:
FNWB) ("First Northwest" or "Company") today reported
net income of $396,000 for the first quarter of
2024, compared to a net loss of $5.5 million for
the fourth quarter of 2023 and net income of $3.5
million for the first quarter of 2023. Basic and diluted
income per share were $0.04 for the first quarter of
2024, compared to basic and diluted loss per share
of $0.62 for the fourth quarter of 2023 and
basic and diluted income per share of $0.39 for the first
quarter of 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, the Company
generated a return on average assets of 0.07%, a return on
average equity of 0.98% and a return on average tangible
common equity* of 0.99%. Income before provision for income
taxes was $843,000 for the current quarter, compared to a
loss of $6.9 million for the preceding quarter, an increase of
$7.7 million, or 112.3%, and decreased $3.4
million compared to income of $4.3 million for the
first quarter of 2023.
The Bank continued efforts to restructure the balance sheet to
improve the earning asset yield, which started in the fourth
quarter of 2023. Investment security purchases during the first
quarter of 2024 totaled $45.3 million, carrying an estimated
weighted-average yield of 6.3% with a weighted-average life of 5.6
years. The annualized interest income on these securities is
anticipated to provide an additional $2.9 million to revenue.
Also in the first quarter of 2024, we established a fair value
hedge on loans to manage ongoing interest rate risk by reducing
liability sensitivity while also increasing interest income. It is
a four-year fixed-for-floating contract. We estimate that if
rates remain flat, this hedge will add $1.7 million of annualized
interest income in 2024. The estimated impact will be reduced
if the Federal Reserve implements rate cuts during the year.
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, which is
anticipated to add about $1 million to revenue each year. The
first-year revenue increase will be partially offset by taxes
on surrender values and charges on exchanged contracts. The first
$6.1 million was surrendered during the first quarter with the
remaining surrender transactions expected to complete by the
end of the third quarter of 2024.
In addition to our new board member, Sean Brennan, First Fed
added two new executive roles to foster a sharpened focus on
digital and strategic initiatives and welcomes an additional
Director of Commercial Banking. The Chief Innovation Officer, David
Edelstein, will lead digital banking, technology, data, and
fintech partnerships. Mr. Edelstein brings more than 25 years
of leadership experience in financial services and technology. In
addition, Chris Riffle was promoted to Chief Strategy Officer, and
will focus on First Fed’s strategic initiatives with specific
emphasis on planning and optimization of systems, teams, and
processes. These new roles strengthen our commitment to deliver
outstanding customer experiences by combining our trusted
local presence with digital solutions. Charlie Guildner is expected
to join the commercial banking team in the second quarter of 2024
to lead the North Cascades region and drive commercial business
loan growth. Mr. Guildner has nearly 40 years of community
banking experience, including having served President and CEO of
North Cascades Bank.
Net Interest IncomeTotal interest income
increased $1.0 million to $27.3 million for the first
quarter of 2024, compared to $26.3 million in the previous
quarter, and increased $4.0 million compared to $23.3
million in the first quarter of 2023. Interest income increased in
the current quarter due to higher yields on loans, investments and
interest-earning deposits in banks and an increased volume of
loans. Interest and fees on loans increased
year-over-year as First Fed's loan portfolio grew as a result
of draws on new and existing lines of credit, originations of
multi-family 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 rate loans tied to the Prime Rate or other indices.
Total interest expense increased $1.3
million to $13.4 million for the first quarter of
2024, compared to $12.1 million in the fourth
quarter of 2023, and increased $6.4 million compared
to $7.0 million in the first quarter a year ago.
Current quarter interest expense was higher due to
a 31 basis point increase in the cost of deposits to
2.43% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024,
from 2.12% for the prior quarter. During the first
quarter, customers continued to shift their deposits into higher
paying products, resulting in a higher cost of deposits for the
Bank. The increase over the first quarter of 2023 was the
result of a 131 basis point increase in the cost of
deposits from 1.12% in the first quarter one year
ago, along with higher volumes and rates paid on certificates of
deposit ("CDs"). 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 first quarter of 2023.
Higher costs of brokered CDs also contributed to additional deposit
costs with a 195 basis point increase to 4.94% for the current
quarter compared to 2.99% for the first quarter one year
ago.
Net interest income before provision for credit
losses for the first quarter of
2024 decreased $267,000, or 1.9%, to $13.9 million,
compared to $14.2 million for the preceding quarter, and
decreased $2.4 million, or 14.6%, from the first
quarter one year ago.
The Company recorded a $970,000 provision for credit losses
in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to additional
charge-offs from the Splash unsecured consumer loan program and an
increase in commercial business loan balances. Decreases
attributable to the loss factors applied to Woodside auto loans as
well as construction loans at quarter end were offset by increases
to the loss factors applied to one-to-four family loans, home
equity lines of credit and home equity loans. The provision
for credit losses on loans was partially offset by a provision
recovery on unfunded commitments due to a decrease in volume at
quarter end. This compares to a credit loss provision of
$1.2 million for the preceding quarter and a $500,000 recapture of
provision for the first quarter of 2023.
The net interest margin decreased to 2.76% for the
first quarter of 2024, from 2.84% for the prior quarter, and
decreased 70 basis points from 3.46% for the
first quarter of 2023. Decreases from both the prior quarter and
the same quarter one year ago are due to higher funding costs
for deposits and borrowed funds. The weighted-average yield on
new loan originations was 8.2%, which partially offset the increase
in the cost of funds. Organic loan production was augmented with
higher-yielding purchased loans through established third-party
relationships. Interest income on the Bank's fair value hedging
agreements on securities increased quarter-over-quarter by
$157,000. The fair value hedge on loans established mid-quarter
added $173,000 in interest income for the first quarter of
2024.
The yield on average earning assets for the first quarter of
2024 increased 15 basis points to 5.42% compared
to the fourth quarter of 2023 and
increased 47 basis points from 4.95% for the
first quarter of 2023. The first quarter increase is primarily
attributable to higher loan rates at origination and increased
yields on variable-rate loans. The year-over-year increase was
primarily due to higher average loan balances augmented by
increases in yields, which were positively impacted by the rising
rate environment and overall improvements in the mix of
interest-earning assets.
The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities
increased 27 basis points to 3.14% for the first
quarter of 2024, compared to 2.87% for the fourth quarter of
2023, and increased 133 basis points from 1.81% for
the first quarter of 2023. Total cost of funds increased
to 2.74% for the first quarter of 2024
from 2.48% in the prior quarter and
increased from 1.53% for the first 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 volume
of brokered CDs decreased to $192.2 million from the linked
quarter. Brokered offerings were issued at nominally higher
rates.
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 28.4%, 30.2% and 22.8% of retail
deposits at March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and March 31,
2023, respectively. Average interest-bearing deposit balances
increased $43.0 million, or 3.1%, to $1.42 billion for
the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023
and increased $133.6 million, or 10.4%, compared to $1.29
billion for the first quarter of 2023.

Noninterest IncomeNoninterest income
increased to $2.2 million for the first quarter of
2024 compared to a loss of $2.9 million for
the fourth quarter of 2023. During the fourth quarter of 2023,
there was a $5.4 million loss on the sale of lower-yielding
securities that have since been reinvested at higher yields. The
decrease in some of the other income accounts is due to one-time
entries recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023 for the gain on sale
of Visa, Inc. Class B common stock of $470,000 and $200,000 of
funds recouped on Splash loan charge-offs.
Noninterest income decreased 6.3% from $2.3 million in
the same quarter one year ago, primarily due to lower servicing
asset valuation and gain on sale of loans, partially offset by an
unrealized gain on partnership investments. Saleable mortgage
loan production and related gains continued to be impacted by
higher market rates on mortgage loans compared to the prior
year.

Noninterest ExpenseNoninterest expense
totaled $14.3 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared
to $17.0 million for the preceding quarter and $14.9
million for the first quarter a year ago. Other expense decreased
this quarter due to the one-time entries recorded in the fourth
quarter of 2023 of $1.5 million for the Quil Ventures commitment
receivable write-off, an accrual of $718,000 for a potential civil
money penalty proposed by the FDIC and a write-off of investor
accounting related items totaling $725,000. Current quarter
decreases also included a reduction in consulting fees of $223,000,
a reduction in software licensing fees of $158,000 and a $218,000
reduction in the accrual for a potential civil money penalty that
were partially offset by increases in medical benefits of
$142,000 and marketing expenses of $266,000.
The decrease in total noninterest expenses compared to
the first quarter of 2023 is mainly due to lower
advertising costs. The Company continues to focus on
controlling compensation expense and reducing advertising and
other discretionary spending while the net interest margin
compression due to higher market rates and an inverted yield curve
persists. We do not anticipate a recurrence of any of the one-time
charges referred to previously.

Investment SecuritiesInvestment securities
increased $30.3 million, or 10.3%, to $326.0 million at March
31, 2024, compared to $295.6 million three months earlier, and
decreased $3.1 million compared to $329.1 million at
March 31, 2023. The market value of the portfolio decreased
$749,000 during the first quarter of 2024 primarily due
to widening spreads on the Bank's subordinate debt
investments. At March 31, 2024, municipal bonds totaled
$87.0 million and comprised the largest portion of the
investment portfolio at 26.7%. Agency issued mortgage-backed
securities ("MBS agency") were the second largest segment, totaling
$83.3 million, or 25.5%, of the portfolio at quarter end.
Included in MBS non-agency are $29.9 million of commercial
mortgaged-backed securities ("CMBS"), of which 93.3% are in "A"
tranches and the remaining 6.7% are in "B" tranches. Our largest
exposure is to long-term care facilities, which comprises 65.3%, or
$19.5 million, of our private label CMBS
securities. All of the CMBS bonds have credit enhancements
ranging from 29% to 99%, with a weighted-average credit enhancement
of 56%, that further reduces the risk of loss on these
investments.
The estimated average life of the securities portfolio was
approximately 7.78 years, compared to 7.69 years in
the prior quarter and 8.08 years in the first quarter of
2023. The effective duration of the portfolio was approximately
4.41 years at March 31, 2024, compared to 4.75 years in the
prior quarter and 5.08 years at the end of the first
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 CommitmentsNet loans,
excluding loans held for sale, increased $50.3 million, or 3.1%, to
$1.69 billion at March 31, 2024, from $1.64 billion at
December 31, 2023, and increased $130.7 million, or 8.4%,
from $1.56 billion one year ago.
Commercial business loans increased $24.0 million,
primarily attributable to an increase in our Northpointe Bank
Mortgage Purchase Program participation from $9.5 million last
quarter to $15.0 million at the current quarter end,
$8.7 million of new Bankers Healthcare group loans and organic
originations partially offset by payments. Auto and other
consumer loans increased $19.7 million during the current
quarter with $13.4 million of new Woodside auto loan purchases and
a pool purchase of Triad manufactured home loans totaling
$5.1 million, partially offset by payments. Multi-family
loans increased $6.4 million during the current quarter. The
increase was primarily the result of $5.1 million of organic loan
production and $3.7 million of construction loans converting
into permanent amortizing loans, partially offset by scheduled
payments. One-to-four family loans increased
$5.5 million during the current quarter as a result of
$10.4 million in residential construction loans that converted
to permanent amortizing loans, partially offset by
payments. Home equity loans increased $3.0 million over
the previous quarter due to draws on new and existing commitments
and $833,000 from organic home equity loan production.
Construction loans decreased $4.3 million during the
quarter, with $14.5 million converting into fully
amortizing loans, partially offset by draws on new and existing
loans. New single-family residence construction loan
commitments totaled $1.9 million in the first quarter,
compared to $2.3 million in the preceding
quarter. Commercial real estate loans decreased
$2.9 million during the current quarter compared to
the previous quarter due to a reclassification of $2.9 million to
multi-family along with payoffs and scheduled payments exceeding
originations.
The Company originated $5.0 million in residential
mortgages during the first quarter of 2023 and sold $5.2
million, with an average gross margin on sale of mortgage loans of
approximately 2.16%. This production compares to residential
mortgage originations of $4.5 million in the preceding quarter
with sales of $4.2 million, and an average gross margin of 2.01%.
Single-family home inventory remains historically low
and higher market rates on mortgage loans
continue to limit saleable mortgage loan production.

DepositsTotal deposits decreased $10.3
million to $1.67 billion at March 31, 2024, compared
to $1.68 billion at December 31, 2023, and increased $72.4
million, or 4.5%, compared to $1.59 billion one year ago.
During first quarter of 2024, total retail deposit
balances increased $5.2 million while brokered deposit
balances decreased $15.4 million. Compared to the preceding
quarter, there were balance increases in business
money market accounts of $19.6 million, consumer money
market accounts of $13.5 million, consumer demand
accounts of $2.0 million, and business savings accounts of
$379,000. These increases were offset by decreases in
consumer CDs of $20.9 million, brokered CDs of
$15.4 million, consumer savings accounts of
$6.0 million, public fund CDs of
$2.5 million, business CDs of $1.1 million
and business demand accounts of $163,000, during
the first 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. Deposits
originated through digital channels, which are included in the
deposits described above, increased $15.3 million, or 23.3%,
during the current quarter to $81.1 million at March 31, 2024.
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 $372.4 million, or 22%, of total
deposit balances were uninsured at March 31, 2024. Approximately
$242.7 million, or 14%, of total deposits were
uninsured business and consumer deposits with the remaining
$129.7 million, or 8%, consisting of uninsured public
funds at March 31, 2024. Uninsured public fund balances were fully
collateralized. The Bank holds an FHLB letter of credit as
part of our participation in the Washington Public Deposit
Protection Commission program which covered $112.2
million of related deposit balances while the remaining $17.5
million was fully covered through pledged securities at March 31,
2024.
As of March 31, 2024, consumer deposits made up 59% of total
deposits with an average balance of $24,000 per
account, business deposits made up 21% of total deposits
with an average balance of $49,000 per account, public fund
deposits made up 8% of total deposits with an average balance of
$1.5 million per account and the remaining 12% of account balances
are brokered CDs. We have maintained the majority of our public
fund relationships for over 10 years. Approximately 69% of our
customer base is located in rural areas, with 19% in urban areas
and the remaining 12% are brokered deposits as of March 31,
2024.

Asset QualityNonperforming loans
were $19.5 million at March 31, 2024, an increase
of $837,000 from December 31, 2023, primarily
attributable to two delinquent commercial business loans with an
aggregate total of $1.1 million and a $708,000 multi-family
loan placed on nonaccrual due to credit concerns, partially offset
by a $544,000 payment received on the commercial construction loan
previously placed on nonaccrual and a $591,000 single family
residence loan that was paid off during the current quarter. The
percentage of the allowance for credit losses on loans to
nonperforming loans decreased to 92% at March 31, 2024,
from 94% at December 31, 2023, and from 661% at
March 31, 2023. Classified loans increased $1.1 million
to $36.2 million at March 31, 2024, due to the
downgrade of the three loans noted above during the first
quarter. A $14.4 million construction loan relationship, which
became a classified loan in the fourth quarter of
2022, and a $9.3 million commercial loan relationship
which became classified in the fourth quarter of 2023, account for
66% of the classified loan balance at March 31, 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 the
two relationships.
The allowance for credit losses on loans as a percentage of
total loans was 1.05% at March 31, 2024, and December 31,
2023, decreasing from 1.10% one year earlier. The current
quarter decrease can be attributed to changes in the loan mix
and an update to the loss factors applied.

CapitalTotal shareholders’ equity decreased to
$160.5 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $163.3
million three months earlier, due to a decrease in the
fair market value of the available-for-sale investment
securities portfolio, net of taxes, of $588,000, dividends
declared of $671,000 and share repurchases totaling $3.0
million, partially offset by net income of $396,000 and a
$730,000 increase in the after-tax fair market value of
derivatives.
Book value per common share was $17.00 at March
31, 2024, compared to $16.99 at December 31, 2023,
and $16.57 at March 31, 2023. Tangible book value per
common share* was $16.83 at March 31, 2024, compared
to $16.83 at December 31, 2023, and $16.38 at
March 31, 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 March 31,
2024. Common Equity Tier 1 and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratios at
March 31, 2024, were 12.6% and 13.6%, respectively.

Forward-Looking StatementsCertain matters
discussed in this press release may contain forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements relate to,
among other things, expectations of the business environment in
which we operate, projections of future performance, perceived
opportunities in the market, potential future credit experience,
and statements regarding our mission and vision, and include, but
are not limited to, statements about our plans, objectives,
expectations and intentions that are not historical facts,
and other statements often identified by words such as
"believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," or similar
expressions. These forward-looking statements are based upon
current management beliefs and expectations and may, therefore,
involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our
control. Our actual results, performance, or achievements may
differ materially from those suggested, expressed, or implied by
forward-looking statements as a result of a wide variety of factors
including, but not limited to: increased competitive pressures;
changes in the interest rate environment; the credit risks of
lending activities; pressures on liquidity, including as a result
of withdrawals of deposits or declines in the value of our
investment portfolio; changes in general economic conditions
and conditions within the securities markets; legislative and
regulatory changes; and other factors described in the Company’s
latest Annual Report on Form 10-K under the section entitled "Risk
Factors," and other filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"),which are available on our website at
www.ourfirstfed.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Any of the forward-looking statements that we make in this press
release and in the other public statements we make may turn out to
be incorrect because of the inaccurate assumptions we might make,
because of the factors illustrated above or because of other
factors that we cannot foresee. Because of these and other
uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially
different from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking
statements made by or on our behalf and the Company's operating and
stock price performance may be negatively affected. Therefore,
these factors should be considered in evaluating the
forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed
on such statements. We do not undertake and specifically disclaim
any obligation to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect
the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or
circumstances after the date of such statements. These risks could
cause our actual results for 2024 and beyond to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements
by, or on behalf of, us and could negatively affect the Company’s
operations and stock price performance.

FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARYADDITIONAL
INFORMATION(Dollars in thousands) (Unaudited) |
Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis 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.

We
believe these non-GAAP metrics provide an important measure with
which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital
