REPORTS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE FIRST FISCAL QUARTER OF 2017
PORT ANGELES, WA (October 25, 2016) - First Northwest Bancorp (NASDAQ - FNWB) ("Company"), the holding company for First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles ("Bank"), announced its operating results for the first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016. The Company reported net income of $651,000, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $503,000, or 43.6%, compared to net income of $1.2 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, for the prior quarter ended June 30, 2016, mainly due to an increase in compensation and benefits coupled with decreases in net gain on sale of investment securities and in FHLB prepayment penalties compared to the prior quarter ended June 30, 2016. Compared to net income of $1.2 million for the same quarter in 2015, net income decreased $577,000, or 47.0%, during the current quarter, primarily attributable to an increase in compensation and benefits and a decrease in gains on sale related to real estate owned and repossessed assets that offset related expenses.
Commenting on the quarter, Larry Hueth, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, "We experienced a decrease in earnings from the previous quarter due to higher compensation and benefits expense associated with the implementation of the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, personnel expenses associated with our expansion into new markets, along with no gain on the sale of securities compared to a significant gain realized in the previous quarter. We also recorded a $350,000 provision for loan losses taken primarily to reserve for our loan growth during the quarter. We are very pleased with the progress to date in both geographic and product diversification, and we continue to closely monitor our performance in order to remain consistent with our conversion business plan to capitalize on opportunities that leverage our capital while extending our geographic footprint. We believe the continued deposit and loan growth from these efforts will result in improvements in our loan to deposit ratio, net interest margin, and revenue that will offset expenses associated with the Bank's expansion. We will also continue to execute on the realignment of our earning assets mix in a prudent manner, including the redeployment of excess liquidity from the investment portfolio into higher yielding loans and using excess liquidity to manage our capital. We were pleased to announce a stock repurchase program of up to 1,300,756 common shares, which we expect to begin during the second fiscal quarter of 2017."
First Quarter highlights (at or for the quarter ended September 30, 2016)
| • | Net income decreased $503,000, or 43.6%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to a decrease in noninterest income related to the absence of a net gain on sale of investment securities; |
| • | Basic and diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.06 compared to $0.10 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016; |
| • | Net loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased $44.2 million during the quarter, primarily due to purchases of one- to four-family residential and originations of commercial real estate and multi-family loans; |
| • | Deposits increased $53.1 million, or 7.3%, during the quarter due to promotional and ongoing business development activities in new and existing markets; and |

Balance Sheet Review
During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, total assets increased $38.4 million to $1.0 billion. Year over year, total assets increased $90.4 million, or 9.4%, from $958.1 million at September 30, 2015. Net loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased $44.2 million, or 7.1%, during the quarter to $664.1 million at September 30, 2016, and increased $166.7 million, or 33.5%, as compared to September 30, 2015, primarily due to purchases of one- to four-family residential loans and originations of commercial real estate and multi-family loans. Investment securities decreased $21.9 million, or 6.8%, during the quarter to $302.0 million at September 30, 2016, primarily due to prepayment activity and normal amortization. Investment securities decreased $76.1 million, or 20.1%, as compared to $378.1 million at September 30, 2015, as a result of sales, prepayment activity and normal amortization.
The increase of $44.2 million in net loans, excluding loans held for sale, during the three months ended September 30, 2016, was primarily attributable to an increase in one- to four-family residential loans of $20.3 million, or 6.6%, to $328.8 million at September 30, 2016, mainly the result of a purchased loan pool of $30.3 million secured by properties located in Washington state, partially offset by sales, prepayment and amortization activity exceeding new loan originations. In addition, multi-family loans increased $1.9 million, or 4.2%, to $48.0 million, commercial real estate loans increased $18.5 million, or 11.5%, to $179.6 million, construction and land loans increased $2.0 million, or 3.9%, to $52.3 million, other consumer loans increased $1.6 million, or 17.8%, to $10.6 million, and commercial business loans increased $112,000, or 0.7%, to $17.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in home equity loans of $156,000 during the quarter. There were $38.2 million in undisbursed construction loan commitments at September 30, 2016, of which $16.5 million consisted of one- to four-family residential construction; $10.9 million consisted of commercial speculative construction; $7.4 million was committed to multi-family construction; and $3.4 million was committed to the construction of commercial real estate. Compared to the same period in the prior year, net loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased $166.7 million, or 33.5%, mainly attributable to an increase in one- to four-family residential loans of $70.5 million, which resulted from a combination of origination and retention of one- to four-family residential loans supplemented with $85.5 million of loan purchases during the past year. Multi-family, commercial real estate, and construction and land loans increased $13.4 million, $48.2 million, and $30.2 million, respectively, over the last year. We continue to focus on increasing our loan balances as a percentage of earning assets.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the total investment securities portfolio decreased $21.9 million to $302.0 million, mainly due to prepayment activity and amortization. Mortgage-backed securities represented the largest portion of the investment securities portfolio and were $207.6 million at September 30, 2016, a decrease during the quarter of $16.4 million, or 7.3%, from $223.9 million at June 30, 2016. Other investment securities, including mostly municipal bonds and other asset-backed securities, were $94.4 million at September 30, 2016, a decrease of $5.6 million, or 5.6%, from $100.0 million at June 30, 2016. Total investment securities decreased $76.1 million, or 20.1%, at September 30, 2016 compared to $378.1 million at September 30, 2015, which included a $32.4 million decrease in mortgage-backed securities and a $43.7 million decrease in other investment securities. We continue to manage the investment portfolio as a source of liquidity to fund our growth while supplementing interest income in lieu of holding higher cash balances at nominal interest rates.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, total liabilities increased $38.9 million, or 4.7%, to $859.2 million at September 30, 2016 from $820.4 million at June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily the result of deposit account balances increasing $53.1 million, or 7.3%, to $776.3 million at September 30, 2016, from $723.3 million at June 30, 2016. The increase in deposits was the result of an increase of $21.5 million, or 10.1%, in transaction accounts, $17.2 million, or 6.6%, in money market accounts, $9.4 million, or 5.9%, in certificates of deposit, and $5.1 million, or 5.5%, in savings accounts.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, borrowings decreased $5.6 million to $75.1 million at September 30, 2016 from $80.7 million at June 30, 2016, as we paid down short-term FHLB advances.
Total liabilities increased $93.4 million, or 12.2%, over the last year. The increase is mainly attributable to an increase in deposit account balances of $109.4 million, or 16.4%, compared to $666.9 million at September 30, 2015. Deposit account
increases were primarily the result of our continuing efforts to expand commercial and consumer deposit relationships in Silverdale and Bellingham, Washington, as well as within our historic Clallam and Jefferson County, Washington locations.
Total equity decreased $467,000, or 0.2%, from $189.7 million at June 30, 2016 to $189.3 million at September 30, 2016, primarily due to a decrease of $1.1 million related to the repurchase and award of shares of restricted common stock under the Company's 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and decreases in unrealized changes in market values of available for sale securities of $236,000, partially offset by employee stock ownership plan shares committed to be released of $195,000 and net income of $651,000 during the quarter.
Operating Results
Net interest income after provision for loan losses decreased $105,000, or 1.5%, to $7.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, from $7.1 million for the prior quarter ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to an increase in the provision for loan losses of $117,000. Net interest income after the provision for loan losses increased $704,000, or 11.2%, compared to $6.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to an increase in interest income of $1.0 million partially offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses of $350,000. The increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to the increases in the balances and change in the mix of loans receivable in our portfolio, partially offset by decreases related to improvements in asset quality. Total interest income remained relatively stable at $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, and increased $1.0 million, or 13.5%, from $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Compared to the same quarter last year, the increase in interest income was primarily related to increases in the average balance and interest earned on loans receivable.
Total interest expense remained virtually unchanged at $1.2 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2016, June 30, 2016, and September 30, 2015.
The net interest margin remained relatively stable at 3.06% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 compared to 3.08% for the prior quarter ended June 30, 2016, and increased 28 basis points from 2.78% for the same period in 2015. Net interest margin increased for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to an increase in the average balance of total loans receivable earning higher yields compared to cash and investment alternatives, as well as an increase in the average yield on investment securities. Reduced borrowing costs related to the prepayment of higher cost, longer-term FHLB advances during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 also contributed to improved margins during the quarter ended September 30, 2016.
Noninterest income decreased $541,000, or 27.3%, to $1.4 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to the prior quarter ended June 30, 2016, primarily as a result of the gain on sale of investment securities of $711,000 during the prior quarter. No investment securities were sold during the current fiscal quarter. In addition, the net gain on sale of loans increased $123,000 due to an increase in loan sales volume, and the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance increased $115,000 primarily due to the purchase of additional policies during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the prior quarter ended June 30, 2016. Noninterest income increased $181,000, or 14.3%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to $1.3 million the same quarter in 2015, mainly due to an increase in the net gain on sale
of loans of $227,000 and an increase in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance of $131,000, partially offset by a decrease in other income of $166,000.
Noninterest expense increased $23,000, or 0.3%, to $7.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to $7.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Compensation and benefits expense increased $263,000, primarily due to stock-based compensation and additional personnel. Other noninterest expenses increased $185,000. Noninterest expense increased $1.5 million, or 26.1%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 compared to $5.9 million for the same period in 2015, primarily as a result of increased compensation and benefits expense of $887,000, real estate owned and repossessed assets expenses of $381,000, and other expenses of $201,000.
Capital Ratios and Credit Quality
As of September 30, 2016, the Bank and Company were well capitalized under the minimum capital requirements. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had Tier 1 Leverage-Based Capital, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, and Total Risk-Based Capital ratios of 18.5%, 27.8%, 27.8%, and 29.0%, respectively. The Company's Tier 1 Leverage-Based Capital, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, and Total Risk-Based Capital ratios were 18.7%, 29.9%, 29.9%, and 31.1%, respectively, at June 30, 2016.
Nonperforming loans decreased $400,000, or 12.1%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, to $2.9 million at September 30, 2016 from $3.3 million at June 30, 2016, mainly attributable to a decrease in nonperforming one- to four-family residential and other consumer loans of $270,000 and $83,000, respectively. As a result, nonperforming loans to total loans decreased to 0.4% at September 30, 2016 from 0.5% at June 30, 2016, and the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans increased to 268.1% at September 30, 2016 from 222.3% at June 30, 2016. Improvements to asset quality during the quarter included a decrease of $588,000 in classified loans and $93,000 in net recoveries on loan losses of amounts previously charged off. Our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.2% at September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016. Our asset quality has remained stable, and we believe our allowance for loan losses is adequate, with normal fluctuations in the balance of nonperforming assets and other credit quality measures expected as we increase our loan portfolio.
