FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

 

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Critical Accounting Policies

 

Organization and Nature of business - First Northwest Bancorp, a Washington corporation ("First Northwest"), became the holding company of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles ("First Fed" or the "Bank") on January 29, 2015, upon completion of the Bank's conversion from a mutual to stock form of organization (the "Conversion"). In April 2021, First Northwest entered into an Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement (the "Joint Venture Agreement") with the Bank, POM Peace of Mind, Inc. ("POM"), and Quin Ventures, Inc. ("Quin" or "Quin Ventures"). First Northwest, the Bank, and Quin Ventures are collectively referred to as the "Company."

In connection with the Conversion, the Company issued an aggregate of 12,167,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $10.00 per share for gross proceeds of $121.7 million. An additional 933,360 shares of Company common stock and $400,000 in cash were contributed to the First Federal Community Foundation ("Foundation"), a charitable foundation that was established in connection with the Conversion, resulting in the issuance of a total of 13,100,360 shares. The Company received $117.6 million in net proceeds from the stock offering of which $58.4 million were contributed to the Bank upon Conversion.

 

Pursuant to the Bank's Plan of Conversion (the "Plan") adopted by its Board of Directors, and as approved by its members, the Company established an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP"). On December 18, 2015, the ESOP completed its open market purchases, with funds borrowed from the Company, of 8% of the common stock issued in the Conversion for a total of 1,048,029 shares.

 

First Northwest has partially fulfilled its commitment to extend $15.0 million to Quin Ventures under a capital financing agreement and related promissory note and issued 29,719 shares of the Company's common stock to POM with a value of approximately $500,000.

First Northwest's business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investmentinvestments in First Federal.Fed and Quin Ventures. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including the consolidated unaudited financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank.

 

The Bank is a community-oriented financial institution providing commercial and consumer banking services to individuals and businesses in Western Washington State with offices in Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, King, and Whatcom counties. These services include deposit and lending transactions that are supplemented with borrowingborrowing and investing activities.

 

Basis of presentation - The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods.

 

In preparing the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to a determination of the allowance for loan losses ("ALLL"), fair value of financial instruments, and deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Principles of consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Northwest Bancorp andNorthwest; its wholly owned subsidiary, First Federal.Fed, and its controlling interest in Quin Ventures, Inc. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. While First Northwest and POM share equal ownership in Quin Ventures, it has been determined that First Northwest has a controlling interest for financial reporting purposes under Accounting Standards Codification 810. The Quin Ventures net loss allocable to POM is shown on the financial statements where applicable through a noncontrolling interest adjustment.

Subsequent Events - The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure and has included additional information where appropriate. See Note 10 for additional information.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

This guidance also adds new disclosure requirements for public entities: changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of instruments held at the end of the reporting period, and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop recurring and nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements, including how the weighted average is calculated. Furthermore, this guidance modifies certain requirements which will involve disclosing: transfers into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, purchases and issuances of Level 3 assets and liabilities, and information about the measurement uncertainty of Level 3 fair value measurements as of the reporting date. This guidance is effective for public companies in fiscal yearsannual periods beginning after December 15, 2019,2020 with earlyto the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022.

In MarchJanuary 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-03,01, Codification ImprovementsInvestments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)-Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

 

Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Loss, which updates the guidance on recognition and measurement of credit losses for financial assets. The new requirements, known as the current expected credit loss model (CECL) will require entities to adopt an impairment model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon adoption, the Company will change processes and procedures to calculate the allowance for loan losses, including changes in assumptions and estimates to consider expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. In addition, the current accounting policy and procedures for other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities available for sale will be replaced with an allowance approach.

 

Additional updates were issued in ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 825), Financial Instruments. This ASU clarifies and improves guidance related to the previously issued standards on credit losses, hedging and recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The amendments provide entities with various measurement alternatives and policy elections related to accounting for credit losses and accrued interest receivable balances. Entities are also able to elect a practical expedient to separately disclose the total amount of accrued interest included in the amortized cost basis as a single balance to meet certain disclosure requirements. The amendments clarify that the estimated allowance for credit losses should include all expected recoveries of financial assets and trade receivables that were previously written off and expected to be written off. The amendments also allow entities to use projections of future interest rate environments when using a discounted cash flow method to measure expected credit losses on variable-rate financial instruments.

 

In addition, new updates were issued through ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. This amendment allows entities to elect the fair value option on certain financial instruments. On adoption, an entity is allowed to irrevocably elect the fair value option on an instrument-by-instrument basis. This alternative is available for all instruments in the scope of Subtopic 326-20 except for existing held-to-maturity debt securities. If an entity elects the fair value option, the difference between the instrument’s fair value and carrying amount is recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment.

The Company is evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13, ASU No. 2019-04 and ASU No. 2019-05, and will closely monitor developments and additional guidance to determine the potential impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact the implementation of these ASUs will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company's internal project management team continues to review models, work with our third-party vendor, and discuss changes to processes and procedures to ensure the Company is fully compliant with the amendments at the adoption date.date, which is anticipated to be January 1,2023.

The Company may hold certain investment securities in an unrealized loss position that are not considered other than temporarily impaired ("OTTI"). At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 20192020, there were 3341 and 6236 investment securities in an unrealized loss position, respectively.

 

We believe that the unrealized losses on our investment securities relate principally to the general change in interest rates, market demand, and related volatility, rather than credit quality, that has occurred since the initial purchase, and such unrecognized losses or gains will continue to vary with general interest rate level and market fluctuations in the future. Certain investments in a loss position are guaranteed by government entities or government sponsored entities. The Company does not intend to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position and believes it is not likely it will be required to sell these investments prior to a market price recovery or maturity.

 

There were 0 OTTI losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 and 20192020.

Credit quality indicator. Federal regulations provide for the classification of lower quality loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities, as substandard, doubtful, or loss; risk ratings 6, 7, and 8 in our 8-point risk rating system, respectively. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and pay capacity of the borrower or of any collateral pledged. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that First Federalthe Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values. Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.

 

When First Federalthe Bank classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish a specific allowance to address the risk specifically or allow the loss to be addressed in the general allowance. General allowances represent loss allowances that have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities but that, unlike specific allowances, have not been specifically allocated to certain problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as a loss, it is required to charge off such assets in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Assets that do not currently expose First Federalthe Bank to enough risk to warrant classification as substandard or doubtful but do possess identified weaknesses are designated as either watch or special mention assets; risk ratings 4 and 5 in our risk rating system, respectively. Loans not otherwise classified are considered pass graded loans and are rated 1-3 in our risk rating system.

 

Additionally, First Federalthe Bank categorizes loans as performing or nonperforming based on payment activity. Loans that are more than 90 days past due and nonaccrual loans are considered nonperforming.

Troubled debt restructuring. A TDR is a loan to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty that has been modified from its original terms and conditions in such a way that First Federalthe Bank is granting the borrower a concession of some kind. First FederalFed has granted a variety of concessions to borrowers in the form of loan modifications. The modifications are generally related to the loan's interest rate, term and payment amount or a combination thereof.

 

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 signed into law on March 27, 2020 ("CARES Act"), provided guidance around the modification of loans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which outlined, among other criteria, that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as defined under the CARES Act prior to any relief, are not TDRs. This includes short-term (i.e., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers are considered current under the CARES Act and related regulatory guidance if they are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. AsThis relief was extended under the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021, to the earlier of60 days after the COVID-19 pandemic national emergency termination date or January 1, 2022. Through June 30, 20202021, the Company had approvedgranted COVID-19 pandemic related temporary loan modifications for 297on a total of 357 loans aggregating to $128.4$175.0 million, or 12.9%13.9% of loans receivable.total loans. Loan modifications in accordance with the CARES Act and related regulatory guidance are still subject to an evaluation in regard to determining whether or not a loan is deemed to be impaired.

The following table is a summary of information with respect to total COVID-19 loan modifications as As of June 30, 20202021 (dollars in thousands):, only 2 commercial real estate loans totaling $7.1 million remained on deferral.

Note 5 - Federal Taxes on Income

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. These calculations are based on many complex factors including estimates of the timing of reversals of temporary differences, the interpretation of federal income tax laws, and a determination of the differences between the tax and the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

 

The effective tax rates were 18.9%16.0% and 18.9% for the six months ended June 30, 20202021 and 20192020, respectively. The effective tax rates differ from the statutory maximum federal tax rate for 20202021 and 20192020 of 21%, largely due to the nontaxable earnings on bank owned life insurance and tax-exempt interest income earned on certain investment securities and loans. Additionally, a cumulative adjustment was recorded in the first quarter of 2021.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. In addition, nonvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of the components used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 and 20192020.

Note 7 - Employee Benefits

 

Change from Multi-employer to Single-employer Pension Plan

Effective March 23, 2021, the Company withdrew from the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions ("Pentegra DB Plan") and established the First Federal Defined Benefit Plan ("Bank DB Plan"), a single-employer plan. On March 23, 2021, all assets and liabilities were transferred from the Pentegra DB Plan to the newly established Bank DB Plan.

The Bank DB Plan is a defined benefit pension plan covering current and former employees. Benefits available under the plan are frozen. The plan provides defined benefits based on years of service and final average salary prior to the freeze. The Company uses December 31 as the measurement date for this plan. The initial measurement period will be March 23, 2021 – December 31, 2021.

The fair value of plan assets and projected benefit obligation on the March 23, 2021, Bank DB Plan adoption date were $14,705,000 and $14,197,000, respectively. A $2,717,599 cash contribution was made to the Pentegra DB Plan in March 2021 prior to the transition. A prior service cost of $1.7 million, net of tax, was included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2021. The prior service cost is expected to be amortized over 15 years.

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine pension benefit obligations at year-end include a 2.95% discount rate and a 0% rate of compensation increase. The weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic pension cost include 2.95% discount rate, 5.75% expected return on plan assets and a 0% rate of compensation increase. The 5.75% weighted average expected long-term rate of return is estimated based on current trends in similar plan assets, as well as projected future rates of returns on similar assets.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 

In connection with the Conversion, the Company established an ESOP for eligible employees of the Company and the Bank. Employees of the Company and the Bank who have been credited with at least 1,000 hours of service during a 12-month12-month period are eligible to participate in the ESOP.

 

Pursuant to the Plan, the ESOP purchased shares in the open market with funds borrowed from First Northwest. The Bank will make contributions to the ESOP in amounts necessary to amortize the ESOP loan payable to First Northwest over a period of 20 years, bearing estimated interest at 2.46%. The loan is secured by shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Bank's discretionary contributions to the ESOP and earnings on the ESOP assets. An annual$835,000 principal andor interest payment of $835,000 was made by the ESOP during the six months ended June 30, 20202021.

Note 9 - Fair Value Accounting and Measurement

 

Fair value is the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the Company’s principal market. The Company has established and documented its process for determining the fair values of its assets and liabilities, where applicable. Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available, for identical or similar assets or liabilities. In the absence of quoted market prices, management determines the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities using valuation models or third-party pricing services, both of which rely on market-based parameters when available, such as interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and credit spreads, or unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs may be based on management’s judgment, assumptions, and estimates related to credit quality, liquidity, interest rates, and other relevant inputs.

 

Any changes to valuation methodologies are reviewed by management to ensure they are relevant and justified. Valuation methodologies are refined as more market-based data becomes available.

 

A three-level valuation hierarchy is used in determining fair value that is based on the transparency of the inputs used in the valuation process. The inputs used in determining fair value in each of the three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Either: (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; (ii) observable inputs, such as interest rates or yield curves; or (iii) inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs.

 

The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to Level 1 inputs and the lowest ranking to Level 3 inputs. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

Qualitative disclosures of valuation techniques - Securities available for sale: where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified as Level 1. Level 1 instruments include highly liquid government bonds, securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, and exchange-traded equity securities.

 

If quoted prices are not available, management determines fair value using pricing models, quoted prices of similar securities, which are considered Level 2, or discounted cash flows. In certain cases, where there is limited activity in the market for an instrument, assumptions must be made to determine their fair value. Such instruments are classified as Level 3.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis - Assets are considered to be valued on a nonrecurring basis if the fair value measurement of the instrument does not necessarily result in a change in the amount recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. Generally, nonrecurring valuation is the result of the application of other accounting pronouncements that require assets or liabilities to be assessed for impairment or recorded at the lower of cost or fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities other than investment securities are not traded in active markets. Estimated fair values require subjective judgments and are approximate. The estimates of fair value in the previous table are not necessarily representative of amounts that could be realized in actual market transactions, or of the underlying value of the Company. The methods and assumptions used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments as set forth below in accordance with ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, as amended by ASU 2016-01 requiring public entities to use the exit price notion effective January 1, 2018, are as follows:

 

Securities - Fair values for investment securities are primarily measured using information from a third-party pricing service. The pricing service uses pricing models based on market data. In the event that limited or less transparent information is provided by the third-party pricing service, fair value is estimated using secondary pricing services or non-binding third-party broker quotes.

 

Loans receivable, net - At June 30, 20202021, the fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rate at which similar loans and leases would be made to borrowers with similar credit and for the same remaining maturities. Additionally, to be consistent with the requirements under FASB ASC Topic 820 for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the loans were valued at a price that represents the Company’s exit price or the price at which these instruments would be sold or transferred.

 

Mortgage servicing rights, net - The estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts when available. If no comparable contract is available, the estimated fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.

General

 

First Northwest is a bank holding company whichthat primarily engages in the business activity of its subsidiary, First Federal.Fed. First FederalFed is a community-oriented financial institution which has served customers and communities since 1923. Currently, First Fed has 11 full-service branches and one lending center serving Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, Whatcom, and King counties in Washington through its Seattle lending center and ten full-service branches.State. Our business and operating strategy is focused on building sustainable earnings through hiring experienced bankers, geographic expansion, and diversifying our loan product mix, expanding our deposit product offerings that deliver value-added solutions, enhancing existing services and digital service delivery channels, and enhancing our infrastructure to support the changing needs and expectations of our customers.

 

We offer a wide range of products and services focused on the lendingfinancial security and depositorypayment needs of Western Washington. Whilethe communities we have a concentrationserve. Lending activities include the origination of first lien one- to four-family mortgage loans, wecommercial and multi-family real estate loans, construction and land loans (including lot loans), commercial business loans, and consumer loans, consisting primarily of automobile loans as well as home equity loans and lines of credit. We continue to increase ourthe origination and portfolio balances of commercial real estate, and multi-family real estate. Weestate, construction, and commercial business loans. More recently we have also increased our autoconsumer loan portfolio through our manufactured home and consumer loans, through indirect and purchased auto loan purchase programs, in order to diversify our asset portfolio and increase interest income. We continue to originate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans and regularly sell conforming loans into the secondary market to increase noninterest income and manage interest rate risk. We also retain one- to four-family first and second lien loans in our portfolio to generate interest income. We offer traditional consumer and business deposit products, including transaction accounts, savings and money market accounts, and certificates of deposit for individuals, businesses, and nonprofit organizations. Deposits are our primary source of funds for lending and investing activities. We also borrow funds, typically from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, as a way to provide additional fundingcost effective liquidity and manage interest rate risk management tools.risk.

 

First Northwest is affected by prevailing economic conditions as well as government policies and regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions. Deposit flows are influenced by several factors, including interest rates paid on competing time deposits, alternative investment options available to our customers, account maturities, the number and quality of our deposit originators, digital delivery systems, marketingbranding and promotion,customer acquisition, and the overall level of personal income and savings.savings in the markets where we do business. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for funds, our credit policies, the number and quality of our lenders and credit underwriters, digital delivery systems, branding and customer acquisition, and regional economic cycles.

 

Our primary source of pre-tax income is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on our loans and investments and interest expense paid on our deposits and borrowings. Changes in levels of interest rates and cash flows from existing assets and liabilities affect our net interest income. A secondary source of income is noninterest income, which includes revenue we receive from providing products and services, including service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage banking income, interest rate swap fee income, earnings from bank-owned life insurance, investment services income, and gains and losses from sales of securities.

 

An offset to net interest income is the provision for loan losses, which represents the periodic charge to operations whichthat is required to adequately provide for losses inherent in our loan portfolio through our allowance for loan losses. As credit metrics improve, such as a loan's risk rating, property values increase, or recoveries of amounts previously charged off are received, aA recapture of previously recognized provision for loan losses may be added to net income.income as credit metrics improve, such as a loan's risk rating, increased property values, improvements in the economic environment, or receipt of recoveries of amounts previously charged off.

 

Noninterest expenses we incur in operating our business consist of salaries and employee benefit costs, occupancy and equipment expenses, federal deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments, data processing expenses, advertising and promotion expenses, marketing and promotioncustomer acquisition expenses, expenses related to real estate and personal property owned, and other miscellaneous expenses.

 

Recent Developments. On March 22, 2021, the Company announced that First Fed had entered into an agreement with Sterling Bank and Trust of Southfield, Michigan ("Sterling") to purchase its Bellevue, Washington branch, subject to applicable regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The purchase was finalized on July 23, 2021 and included $65.4 million in deposits and a small amount of fixed assets. The Bank also assumed the lease for the branch location and welcomed the former Sterling retail staff as First Fed employees.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictive measures taken by governments, businesses and individuals caused unprecedented uncertainty, volatility and disruption in financial markets and in governmental, commercial and consumer activity in the United States and globally, including the markets that we serve. As initial restrictive measures were eased during 2020 and into 2021, the U.S. economy started to recover and, with the availability and distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine, we anticipate continued improvements in commercial and consumer activity and the U.S. economy. As of June 30, 2021, the governor of Washington removed restrictions initially set in place, allowing businesses to return to full capacity.

We recognize that our business and consumer customers are experiencing varying degrees of financial distress, which is expected to continue through the remainder of 2021, especially if new COVID-19 variant infections increase and new restrictions are mandated. Commercial activity has improved but has not returned to the levels existing prior to the outbreak of the pandemic, which may result in our customers’ inability to meet their loan obligations to us. In late 2019addition, the economic pressures and early 2020,uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic manifested itshave resulted in changes in consumer spending behaviors, which may negatively impact on individuals, companies,the demand for loans and governmental entities around the world. It significantly impacted the global economy and created a challenging operating environment. As economic conditions deterioratedother services we offer. Our borrowing base includes customers in mid-March 2020industries such as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we responded in several ways. Some of the key adjustments and developments include the following:

For our employees:

Enhanced the ability of our employees to work remotely, adjusting branch operating hours and restricting lobby access in most cases.

Provided significant support to employees by granting an increase in flexibility with paid leave, temporarily adjusting vacation policies, and increasing the cleaning of facilities to enable a safer environment for those employees that are not able to work from home.

Increased compensation for hourly employees and providing additional compensation for exempt employees below the level of Senior Vice President.

For our customers and communities:

Offering short-term loan payment and fee forbearance programs. Many borrowers requested and received temporary forbearance from obligations to assist them with the expected shortage in their near-term cash flow.

Facilitating government programs like the Small Business Administration's Paycheck Protection Program ("SBA PPP") and Main Street Lending Program ("MSLP") established by the Federal Reserve.

Investing in our communities. We plan to use a portion of the proceeds received from the SBA PPP loans and invest in the communities we serve.

For our shareholders and regulators:

Maintained our capital ratios at strong levels and materially increased our provision for loan losses to $2.8 million for the first half of 2020, compared to $669,000 for all of 2019.

Increasing on balance sheet liquidity, specifically Cash and Cash Equivalents increased by $849,000, a 1.7% increase over December 31, 2019. The investment portfolio, a secondary source of liquidity, increased by $48.7 million, or 16%, as well.

On March 23, 2020, the State of Washington announced the Stay Home, Stay Healthy order for all residents, resulting in the closing of businesses or a substantial reduction in business activity. Conditions have since improved in most of the counties within our footprint allowing many businesses to expand services or reopen under current guidelines. The sectors that continue to be most heavily impacted include hospitality; restaurant and food services; and lessors of commercial real estate to hospitality, restaurant, and retail establishments.establishments, all of which have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. At June 30, 2020,2021, the Company’s exposure as a percent of the total loan portfolio to these industries was 5.1% 4.2%, 0.2%, and 4.9%4.2%, respectively. We recognize that these industries may take longer to recover as consumers may be hesitant to return to full social interaction or may change their spending habits on a more permanent basis as a result of the pandemic. We continue to monitor these customers closely.

We have taken deliberate actions to ensure that we have the balance sheet strength to serve our clients and communities, including increases in liquidity and managing our assets and liabilities in order to maintain a strong capital position; however, future economic conditions are subject to significant uncertainty. Uncertainties associated with the pandemic include the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and any related variant infections, the availability and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, and the impact on our customers, employees, vendors and the economy. While uncertainty still exists, we believe we are well-positioned to operate effectively through the present economic environment.

We continue to provide banking and financial services to our customers, with drive-thru access available at all our branch locations and in-person services available to walk-in customers or by appointment. Our branch locations are currently open and operating, having returned to normal business hours at the beginning of May 2021. In addition, we continue to provide access to banking and financial services through online banking, Interactive Teller Machines ("ITMs"), Automated Teller Machines ("ATMs"), and by telephone. We continue to take additional precautions within all our locations, including providing personal protection equipment and enhanced cleaning procedures, to ensure the safety of our customers and our employees.

 

 

The Company has worked with loan customers on loan deferral and forbearance plans. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had granted payment deferral plans on 297 loans totaling $128.4 million compared to 23 loans totaling $1.4 million as of March 31, 2020. These modifications were not classified as TDRs at June 30, 2020, in accordance with the guidance of the CARES Act and related regulatory guidance. The Company is continuing to work on forbearance plans with customers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. For additional information on COVID-19 deferrals, see Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in "Item 1, Financial Statements."

During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, weWe provided assistance to many small businesses throughapplying for the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program. This program provides small businesses with funds to pay up to eight weeksProgram ("PPP") funding. As of payroll costs including benefits. A portion of the funds can also be used to pay interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities. On June 5, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act ("PPPFA") was enacted. Main provisions of the PPPFA extended the repayment period from two to five years, extended the covered expense period from eight to 24 weeks, and lowered the percent of forgiveness amount required to be used for eligible payroll costs to 60%. The PPPFA also extends the repayment start date until after the SBA makes a decision on the application for loan forgiveness.

We30, 2021, we processed approximately $30.6$34.8 million of loans for 440422 customers through the current round of SBA PPP program as of June 30, 2020. Thefunding with an average loan amount approved was approximately $69,000.of $83,000. We processed $32.2 million of loans for 515 customers through the initial round of SBA PPP funding during 2020 with an average loan amount of $63,000. Payments by borrowers on these loans begin sixcan be deferred up to sixteen months after the note date, and interest, at 1%, will continue to accrue during the six-month deferment.deferment period. Loans can be forgiven in whole or part (up to full principal and any accrued interest). We partnered with StreetSharesa third-party financial technology provider to assist our borrowers with the loan forgiveness application process.

Loan processing fees paid to the Bank from the SBA of 5% on loans of $350,000 or less, 3% on loans of more than $350,000 but less than $2.0 million, and 1% for loans of $2.0 million or more are accounted for as loan origination fees. Net deferred fees are recognized over the life of the loan, or two years, as a yield adjustment on the loans. As of June 30, 2020,2021, $21.5 million, or 66.9%, of the Company had received $1.3 million in processing fees. If a loan is paid offfirst-round loans were forgiven and $221,000, or forgiven by the SBA prior to its maturity date, the remaining unamortized deferred fees will be recognized in interest income at that time. At such time that any0.6%, of thesesecond-round loans are forgiven or repaid before the scheduled maturity, we expect an increase in interest income and the net interest margin during that period.were forgiven.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

Commercial business loans increased $57.9decreased $24.2 million as wenewly funded PPP loans were offset by PPP forgiveness payments received during the period for a net increase of $22.0 million and increased balances generated throughparticipation in the Northpointe Bank Mortgage Participation Program which provides interim financingdecreased to mortgage originators based on the contractual sale agreement of a mortgage loan during the first half of$0 at June 30, 2021, from $47.3 million at December 31, 2020. Auto and other consumer loans decreased $2.9 million as we scaled back funding in our specialty auto loan portfolio. Competition for quality commercial credits remains; however, impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic effect both the supply and demand for credit. An increase in refinance activity of one- to-four family residential loans also occurred during the period.

 

Construction and land loans increased $21.0,$60.1 million, or 56.4%48.6%, to $58.2$183.7 million at June 30, 2020,2021, from $37.2$123.6 million at December 31, 2019. The majority of our2020. Our construction loans are geographically dispersed throughout the Puget Sound regionWestern Washington (with one loan in Oregon) and, as a result, these loans are susceptible to risks that may vary depending on the nature and location of the project. We manage our construction lending by utilizing a licensed third-party vendor to assist us in monitoring our construction projects and intend to begin utilizing internal staffing to monitor certain projects, which we expect will enhance fee income related to these loans. In March 2020, the vast majority of construction projects in Washington State were put on hold as a result of Governor Jay Inslee’s “Stay Home, Stay Safe” order. By June 30, 2020, most projects were able to restart under specific criteria.projects. We continue to monitor the projects currently in our portfolio to determine the impact of COVID-19 on completion. As of this point in time, we have no reason to believe that any of the projects in process will not be completed. At June 30, 2021, $59.1 million was included in the construction loan total for commercial acquisition-renovation loans which have a small construction component included with a traditional real estate loan, compared to $39.3 million at December 31, 2020. By investing in one- to four-family, multi-family and acquisition-renovation construction projects which increase housing options, we are doing our small part to address housing affordability.

 

We monitor real estate values and general economic conditions in our market areas, in addition to assessing the strength of our borrowers, in orderincluding their equity contributions to a project, to prudently underwrite construction loans. For the majority of 2019, we decreased our construction lending, which resulted in a decline in construction balances at the end of the year compared to 2018. In the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020, we increased production in construction lending and our commitments increased accordingly. We continually assess our lending strategies across all product lines and markets within which we do business in order to improve earnings while also prudently managing credit risk.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, the Company originated $276.3$216.7 million of loans, of which $145.1$149.3 million, or 52.5%68.9%, were originated in the Puget Sound region, $115.7$63.1 million, or 41.9%29.1%, in the North Olympic Peninsula, $11.9$1.0 million, or 4.3%0.5%, in other areas throughout Washington State, and $3.7$3.2 million, or 1.3%1.5%, in Oregon. The Company purchased an additional $28.0$34.5 million in one- to four-familyauto loans and $15.9$13.9 million in specialty automanufactured home loans during the six months ended June 30, 2020.2021. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to grow loansacquire assets through wholesale channels in order to supplement our organic originations and increase net interest income.

 

Our allowance for loan losses increased $2.5 million,$741,000, or 25.8%5.4%, to $12.1$14.6 million at June 30, 2020,2021, from $9.6$13.8 million at December 31, 2019.2020. The increase was due to a $2.8 million loan loss provision of $800,000, offset by net charge-offs of $285,000$59,000 for the six- monthsix-month period. The provision is largely attributed to account for growth in the loan portfolio adjusted for qualitative factor adjustments made in responsefactors. We continue to monitor the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as to account for growthwhich is included in the loan portfolio.qualitative factor adjustments. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans at both June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 20192020 was 1.2% and 1.1%, respectively..

 

Nonperforming loans increased $1.6 million,decreased $489,000, or 86.9%21.5%, to $3.4$1.8 million at June 30, 2020,2021, from $1.8$2.3 million at December 31, 2019,2020, mainly attributable to an increaseimprovements in nonperforming one- to four-family loans of $845,000,$128,000, multi-family loans of $297,000, construction and land loans of $108,000, and commercial business loans of $308,000, partially offset by a decrease in$284,000, commercial real estate loans of $74,000.$74,000 and auto and other consumer loans of $18,000. Nonperforming loans to total loans increased to 0.3%was 0.1% at June 30, 2020, from2021 and 0.2% at December 31, 2019.2020. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans decreasedincreased to 360.8%817.7% at June 30, 2020,2021, from 536.1%609.2% at December 31, 2019.2020.

 

At June 30, 2020,2021, there were $2.5$2.0 million in restructured loans, of which $2.4$1.8 million were performing in accordance with their modified payment terms and returned to accrual status. Classified loans increased $154,000$5.8 million to $5.1$13.3 million at June 30, 2020,2021, from $5.0$7.5 million at December 31, 20192020, due to the addition of one commercial real estate loan that was downgraded during the period.

 

Asset quality remains consistent with December 31, 2019. Net loan charge-offs are concentrated mainly in our indirect auto loan portfolio. We recently adjustedstopped originating loans from one of our indirect auto loan product offerings and underwriting criteriain 2020 to improvereduce credit qualityrisk and reduce future charge-off activity. We continue to monitor the indirect auto loan program in order to prudently balancemanage risk and return within the portfolio. The balance of indirect auto loans decreased to $15.1 million at June 30, 2021 from $20.5 million at December 31, 2020. We believe our allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb the known and inherent risks of loss in the overall loan portfolio as of June 30, 2020. While the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and response from Federal and State government remains to be seen, we increased the qualitative factor related to the economy this quarter.2021.

The projected average life of our securities may vary due to prepayment activity, which, particularly in the mortgage-backed securities portfolio, is impacted by prevailing mortgage interest rates. Management maintains a focus on enhancing the mix of earning assets by originating loans as a percentage of earning assets; however, we continue to purchase investment securities as a source of additional interest income.

Liabilities. Total liabilities increased $172.1 million to $1.30$1.6 billion at June 30, 2020,2021, from $1.13$1.47 billion at December 31, 2019,2020, primarily due to an increase in deposits of $168.7 million.$108.2 million and the issuance of subordinated debt of $40.0 million in March 2021.

 

Deposit balances increased 16.8%8.1%, to $1.17$1.44 billion at June 30, 2020,2021, from $1.00$1.33 billion at December 31, 2019.2020.

The increase in deposits is in large part due to organic growth, the Federal government's continued response to the pandemic including stimulus payments, and deposit of additional unemployment benefits,PPP funding. We strategically increased noninterest-bearing and deferrals of Federal tax payment due dates. These actions, coupled with decreased spending by consumers and business, resulted in higher deposit balances.other core deposits to manage overall funding costs. In addition to collecting customer deposits, we utilize brokered certificates of deposit ("brokered CDs") as an additional funding source in order to manage our cost of funds, reduce our reliance on public funds deposits, and allow flexibility when competing on retail rates.

Rate/Volume Analysis

 

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between the changes related to outstanding balances and changes in interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Off-Balance Sheet Activities

 

In the normal course of operations, First FederalFed engages in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in the financial statements. These transactions involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. These transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit. For the six months ended June 30, 20202021 and the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Liquidity Management

 

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term and long-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities, and borrowings from the FHLB. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are usually predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, calls of investment securities and borrowed funds, and prepayments on loans and investment securities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition, which can cause those sources of funds to fluctuate.

 

Management regularly adjusts our investments in liquid assets based upon an assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and the objectives of our interest-rate risk and investment policies.

 

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents followed by available for sale securities. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2020,2021, cash and cash equivalents totaled $49.6$80.7 million, and unpledged securities classified as available-for-sale with a market value of $250.7$255.4 million provided additional sources of liquidity. We pledged collateral to support borrowings from the FHLB of $112.4$427.1 million and have an established borrowing arrangement with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, for which available-for-sale securities with a market value of $46.2$24.3 million were pledged as of June 30, 2020.2021.

 

At June 30, 2020,2021, we had $1.7$3.8 million in loan commitments outstanding $120.5and $235.6 million in undisbursed loans and standby letters of credit, including $68.4$158.2 million in undisbursed construction loan commitments.

 

 

Certificates of deposit due within one year as of June 30, 20202021 totaled $240.1$172.8 million, or 73.8%66.0% of certificates of deposit with a weighted-average rate of 1.20%0.76%. We believe the large percentage of certificates of deposit that mature within one year reflects customers' hesitancy to invest their funds for longer periods as market interest rates have recently declined. If these maturing deposits are not renewed, however, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit, non-maturity deposits, and borrowings. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered as well as through sales and marketing efforts in the markets we serve. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on certificates of deposit. In addition, we believe that our branch network, and the general cash flows from our existing lending and investment activities, will provide us more than adequate long-term liquidity. For additional information, see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

 

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and provides for its own liquidity to pay its operating expenses and other financial obligations.liquidity. At June 30, 2020,2021, the Company, (onon an unconsolidated basis)basis, had liquid assets of $12.4$20.7 million. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for paying dividends declared, if any, to its shareholders, funds paid for Company stock repurchases, and payments on subordinated notes held at the Company level. The Company has the ability to receive dividends or capital distributions from the Bank, although there are regulatory restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends. First Northwest has partially fulfilled its commitment to extend $15.0 million to Quin Ventures, Inc. under a capital financing agreement and related promissory note.

 

Capital Resources

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices

 

The consolidated financial statements and related financial data presented in this report have been prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which require the measurement of financial and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs and the effect that general inflation may have on both short-term and long-term interest rates. Unlike most industrial companies in many other industries, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than do general levels of inflation. Although inflation expectations do affect interest rates, interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

 

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained in First Northwest Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

An evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer), Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), and other members of the Company's management team as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2020,2021, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Controls.

 

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2020,2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

 

The Company intends to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and to improve its controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that it may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Company's business. While the Company believes the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures. The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent every error or instance of fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

 

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, the Company is engaged in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, none of which are currently considered to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

The disclosures below supplement the risk factors previously disclosed under Part I. Item 1A of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

 

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect our customersthe future results of operations of our customers and/or the market price of our stock.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly evolve, as do federal, state and local efforts to address it. Both the direct effects of the pandemic and the resulting United States governmental responses are of an unprecedented scope as it impacts both the health and the economy of our country and the world at large. No one can predict the extent or duration of the pandemic, or its effect on the markets that we serve. Further, the ongoing efforts and impact of the government in mitigating the health and the economic effects of the pandemic cannot currently be predicted, whether on our business or as to the economy as a whole. The pandemic has thus far resulted in significant volatility in international and United States markets, which could adversely affect the market price of our stock. To date, the pandemic has resulted in significant business disruption and volatility in the international and domestic markets, which has adversely affected the market price of our stock and stocks in generalstock.

 

The Company continues to manage through uncertainties and complexities created by the pandemic. As an essential business, our employees have been able to work safely in our branch locations and over 70% of our workforce has the ability to work from home. However, the economic downturn in local markets we serve could result in increased credit risk associated with the loan portfolio asto the extent that customers are unable to repay loans and meet their obligations, as well as adversely impactimpacting our earnings. We believe our strong capital position will be important in managing through the unknown impacteffects of the pandemic.
