ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. 27, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:NRIM) (“Northrim” or the “Company”) today reported that continued demand for home mortgages from new purchasers and portfolio loan and deposit growth generated a 44% increase in third quarter profits and a 27% increase in profits year-to-date compared to the same periods a year ago. Net income in the third quarter of 2015 was $5.3 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, compared to $4.8 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2015, and $3.7 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2014. For the first nine months of 2015, net income was $13.7 million, or $1.97 per diluted share, compared to $10.7 million, or $1.57 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2014.

“The acquisitions we made in 2014 continue to contribute to profitability and have added value to our franchise,” said Joseph Beedle, President and CEO. “The expansion to southeast Alaska into three communities early last year through the acquisition of Alaska Pacific Bank is generating diversification not only in our geographic footprint, but also in our loan and deposit portfolio. Our mortgage origination business contributed $8.4 million to pre-tax revenues in the third quarter and $0.24 in diluted earnings per share.”

Financial Highlights (at or for the periods ended September 30, 2015, compared to June 30, 2015, and September 30, 2014)

  • Year-to-date 2015 profits increased 27% to $13.7 million, or $1.97 per diluted share.
  • Total revenues, which include net interest income, plus other operating income, increased 5% to $27.1 million in the third quarter of 2015 from $25.8 million in the previous quarter and grew 45% from $18.7 million in the same period a year ago.
  • Net interest income grew 3% in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the prior quarter and increased 7% from the third quarter of 2014, primarily reflecting increased loan volumes.
  • Return on average assets was 1.42% and return on average equity was 12.37% in the third quarter of 2015.
  • Average portfolio loans increased 5% to $982.3 million for the third quarter of 2015 from the same period a year ago and increased 2% from the preceding quarter, reflecting organic growth and steady demand in the market.
  • Tax equivalent net interest margin* decreased slightly to 4.38% in the third quarter of 2015 compared to 4.44% in the second quarter of 2015 and 4.43% in the third quarter a year ago, reflecting higher cash balances held during the quarter.

Alaska Economic Update

“Although there is uncertainty about the future of Alaska’s economy, it is currently stable and showing resilience in the face of the on-going low-price energy marketplace,” said Beedle. “While Shell Oil’s decision to cease exploratory drilling operations in the Chuckchi Sea was a disappointment to many of us, we believe that activity on the North Slope continues to reflect the long-term commitments of the oil industry to the region.”

In the September 2015 issue of Alaska Economic Trends, Caroline Schultz, an economist with the State of Alaska Department of Labor, examined the economic differences and similarities between the state’s economy today and in the 1980’s when low oil prices significantly impacted the Alaska economy. Highlights from the article are quoted below:

“When crude oil prices slid precipitously in late 2014, many began to draw parallels between Alaska’s current budget shortfall and the deep recession of the mid-1980s, questioning whether we’re headed for another meltdown. …

“The fiscal similarity between the two eras is clear: state general fund revenue is just as dependent on the value of oil now as it was then, and Alaska still relies heavily on federal spending. The relative importance of these two economic drivers hasn’t diminished even as the rest of the economy has grown. …

“In general, the foundation of Alaska’s economy has not changed, except to get larger. But other things have changed considerably since the ’80s, which was a period of extreme and unprecedented growth. In some ways, today’s Alaska is barely recognizable. We have a much bigger and older population, many with deeper roots in the state. We also have larger amounts saved in budget reserve accounts, but face declining oil production. These differences complicate the question of whether current low oil prices could push Alaska into a similar recession. A larger, more mature economy makes a repeat of the massive 1980s bust less likely, but it doesn’t guarantee a soft landing. The future will largely depend on policy decisions and how resilient today’s economy is compared to the 1980s. …

“Fast-forward to 2015 and Alaska has a much more staid housing market. Residential construction has been steady and modest since the large national recession of the late 2000s, which largely bypassed Alaska. Between 2010 and 2014, 11,000 housing units went up statewide, including multi-family units. Prices have been level through the period, and even with record low interest rates, mortgage lending has been stable. …

“In the most recent six-year period, total employment increased at an annual rate of close to 1%. Growth has been consistent. Alaska added jobs in 26 out of the past 27 years, albeit slowly – a clear change from the heady themes of the early 1980s. Between 2009 and 2014, Alaska grew by 5%, almost entirely through natural increase. Migration to and from Alaska have essentially canceled each other out. All regions have gained residents. …

“Still, nearly 30 years after the big bust, Alaska has accrued large budget reserves. Based on varying estimates of future spending and oil prices, state government (including the university system and a healthy slice of local governments’ budgets) can fund itself on savings for a couple of years.”

Review of Income Statement

Community Banking

Net income attributable to Northrim Bancorp for the community banking segment increased 8% in the third quarter of 2015 to $3.7 million from $3.4 million in the second quarter and increased 6% from $3.5 million in the same quarter in 2014. Operating net income* for the community banking segment increased 5% in the third quarter of 2015 to $3.7 million from $3.6 million in the preceding quarter and increased 11% from $3.4 million in the same quarter in 2014. Increases in net interest income and other operating income were only partially offset by increases in the provision for loan losses and other operating expenses in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the preceding quarter. Net interest income, other operating income, and the provision for loan losses also increased in the third quarter compared to the same quarter in 2014. However, other operating expenses (excluding items such as the merger related costs) decreased as compared to the same quarter in 2014. The following table provides highlights of Northrim’s community banking segment:

Net Interest Margin

“The weighted average duration of our investment portfolio is two years as of the end of the third quarter. While we sacrifice some yield because of it, we believe the short maturity of this portfolio limits the downside risk for these assets should interest rates rise. We believe that this strategy has served us well over the past few years” said Joe Schierhorn, Northrim Bank’s President and Chief Operating Officer.   “In addition, 67% of our loan portfolio is made up of variable rate loans as of the end of the third quarter.” Northrim’s tax equivalent net interest margin (“NIM”), which is primarily comprised of activities in the community banking segment, remained well above national averages1 in the third quarter of 2015 at 4.38%, compared to 4.44% in the preceding quarter and 4.43% in the third quarter a year ago. For the first nine months of 2015, NIM was 4.40% compared to 4.38% for the same period a year ago.

Other Operating Income

In addition to home mortgage lending, Northrim has interests in other businesses that complement its core community banking activities. It provides financial services to businesses and individuals through these interests, including purchased receivables financing, health insurance plans, and wealth management.

Other operating income for the community banking segment increased 15% to $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2015 from $3.7 million in the preceding quarter and was down 6% from $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2014. Included in other operating income was other income of $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $947,000 in the preceding quarter and $750,000 in the third quarter of 2014. In the third quarter of 2015, other income included $683,000 in gains from loans acquired and marked to fair value in the Alaska Pacific Bancshares, Inc. (“Alaska Pacific”) merger. Other income for the second quarter of 2015 included $179,000 in gains from loans acquired and marked to fair value in the Alaska Pacific merger, and $89,000 in gains from the sale of Elliott Cove Capital Management and Insurance operations. The third quarter of 2014 included a $1.1 million gain on the sale of a branch location. Additionally, employee benefit plan income in the second quarter of 2015 included a one-time catch-up payment of $119,000. “Our employee benefit plan programs remain profitable and broaden the financial services we offer to our business customers,” said Latosha Frye, Chief Financial Officer.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

1 As of June 30, 2015, the NIM for the SNL US Bank Index was 2.76% and the NIM for SNL US Banks with assets between $1 billion and $5 billion was 3.68%.

Other Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the community banking segment increased 5% to $12.6 million in the third quarter of 2015 compared to $12.0 million in the second quarter of 2015. Approximately half of this increase was due to increased routine operating expenses for the community banking segment, the largest of which was a $401,000 increase in salaries and benefits expense mainly due to an increase in medical claims costs and a slight increase in full time equivalent employees.   This increase was partially offset by a $129,000 decrease in marketing expenses. The rest of the increase in other operating expenses was the result of increases in non-routine operating expenses including the increase in fair value of the earn-out liability associated with our acquisition of Residential Mortgage Holding Company, LLC (“RML”) and other real estate owned (“OREO”) expenses, net of rental income and gains on sales.

Operating expenses for the community banking segment decreased 1% from $12.8 million in the third quarter a year ago. Approximately two thirds of this decrease was the result of decreased non-routine operating expenses and merger and acquisition expenses in the third quarter of 2015 which was partially offset by the increase in fair value of the RML earn-out liability. Additionally, the reserve for purchased receivables decreased in the third quarter of 2015 as compared to the same quarter a year ago.

Home Mortgage Lending Operations

On December 1, 2014, RML became a wholly owned subsidiary of Northrim Bank. RML’s gross revenues and expenses are now reported on a consolidated basis throughout the various sections of Northrim’s income statement. The following table provides highlights of Northrim’s home mortgage lending segment:

Information included in the table above for the Home Mortgage Lending segment in periods before December 1, 2014 includes earnings from Northrim’s 23.5% equity interest in RML.  As of December 1, 2014, operations of RML are consolidated into Northrim’s results. The data included in the table above for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 includes Northrim’s 23.5% share in earnings for the first two months of the quarter and includes 100% of the earnings of RML for the one month period ending December 31, 2014. Additionally, mortgage commitments, loans funded for sale, and the percentage of refinances to total funding represents the activity for the one month period from December 1 through December 31, 2014 that occurred in the quarter ended December 31, 2014.

“New home purchases represented the majority of mortgage volumes during the third quarter, accounting for 90% of the originations, which we believe reflects the stable real estate market in our footprint,” said Schierhorn. “The second and third quarters have historically been the highest quarters for mortgage lending in Alaska. We are pleased with the contribution that this segment has made to our results in 2015.”

Balance Sheet Review

Northrim’s assets increased 8% to $1.54 billion at September 30, 2015, compared to $1.41 billion a year ago, which mainly reflects continued loan growth during the year and the purchase of the remaining equity interest in RML at the end of 2014.

Cash and interest bearing deposits in other banks increased at the end of the third quarter to $144.6 million up 39% from the preceding quarter and up 12% from a year ago, primarily as a result of strong growth in deposits during the quarter.

Investment securities increased 3% from the preceding quarter and decreased 3% from a year ago. The investment portfolio generated an average net tax equivalent yield of 1.58% for the third quarter of 2015 and the average estimated duration of the investment portfolio was 2 years at September 30, 2015.

Loans held for sale were $66.6 million at the end of the third quarter of 2015 and average loans held for sale were $56.4 million for the third quarter of 2015, which represents a decrease from the seasonal high reached in the second quarter but a substantial increase from the same period a year ago primarily as a result of the integration of RML into Northrim’s business in late 2014 and 2015. “Demand for new home mortgages in the Alaska marketplace remains strong,” noted Frye.

Portfolio loans were flat compared to the previous quarter end and grew 4% year-over-year to $973.7 million. Average portfolio loans increased 2% in the third quarter and 5% year over year. “Construction and land development loans contributed the majority of the year-over-year growth in the loan portfolio with commercial real estate projects and tax-advantaged low-income housing projects accounting for the bulk of these loans. Residential housing construction loans remain consistent at approximately 5% of portfolio loans during the past year,” Schierhorn noted.

Northrim’s deposit base continues to be 100% Alaska-based, and is primarily made up of low-cost transaction accounts. Balances in transaction accounts at September 30, 2015, represented 89% of total deposits compared to 91% a year ago. At September 30, 2015, total deposits were $1.26 billion, up 6% from $1.19 billion a year ago and up 2% from the immediate prior quarter. Year-over-year, average non-interest bearing deposits grew 11% and average interest-bearing deposits increased 10% in the third quarter of 2015.

Other borrowings decreased to $12.5 million at September 30, 2015 from $22.3 million at June 30, 2015 and increased from $2.2 million at September 30, 2014. The increase in other borrowings as compared to the same period in the prior year was the result of the inclusion of RML’s short term borrowings in Northrim’s consolidated balance sheet.

Shareholders’ equity increased 10% to $175.3 million, or $25.56 per share, at September 30, 2015, compared to $159.3 million, or $23.31 per share, a year ago. Tangible book value per share* was $22.09 at September 30, 2015, compared to $22.08 per share a year ago and $21.47 per share at June 30, 2015. Northrim remains well-capitalized with Tier 1 Capital to Risk Adjusted Assets of 13.00% at September 30, 2015.

Asset Quality

At September 30, 2015, nonperforming assets decreased to 0.47% of total assets from 0.52% at the end of the preceding quarter, and non-performing loans decreased to 0.38% of portfolio loans from 0.52% at June 30, 2015. However, the allowance for loan losses increased to 1.83% of portfolio loans at September 30, 2015 from 1.79% at the end of the second quarter of 2015. The primary reason for this increase was an increase in adversely classified loans to 3.4% of portfolio loans from 2.3% at June 30, 2015. Adversely classified loans are loans that Northrim has classified as substandard, doubtful, and loss. The increase in adversely classified loans in the third quarter of 2015 was mainly the result of the downgrade of one commercial real estate construction project. There have been no downgrades in the last year related to the recent decrease in oil prices. Northrim estimates that approximately 8% of portfolio loans as of September 30, 2015 have direct exposure to the oil and gas industry in Alaska.

OREO declined to $3.5 million at the end of the third quarter of 2015, compared to $4.7 million a year ago and increased from $2.8 million in the preceding quarter following the transfer of one commercial real estate property into OREO from nonaccrual loans during the quarter.

There were $1.9 million in restructured loans included in nonaccrual loans at the end of the third quarter of 2015, as compared to $1.7 million at September 30, 2014. Northrim held $3.2 million in performing restructured loans that were not included in nonaccrual loans at the end of the third quarter of 2015. “Borrowers who are in financial difficulty and who have been granted concessions that may include interest rate reductions, term extensions, or payment alterations are categorized as restructured loans,” said Frye. “We present restructured loans that are performing separately from those that are in nonaccrual to provide more information on this category of loans and to differentiate between accruing performing and nonperforming restructured loans.”
