DENVER, April 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Western Financial, Inc., (“First Western” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: MYFW), today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.
Net income available to common shareholders was $5.5 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022. This compares to $1.9 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021, and $6.0 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2021.
Scott C. Wylie, CEO of First Western, commented, “Our first quarter results reflect the positive impact that the Teton Financial Services acquisition is having on our level of profitability even before we realize most of the cost savings projected for this transaction. On an adjusted basis excluding acquisition-related expenses, our return on average assets, return on average equity, and return on average tangible common equity all significantly increased compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.
“We were able to deliver our strong financial performance despite a high level of payoffs that impacted our loan growth in the quarter. Many of the payoffs were the result of our high net worth and entrepreneurial clients selling businesses and properties to take advantage of significant appreciation in the value of these assets. The high level of payoffs resulted in excess liquidity during the first quarter, although it positions us well to redeploy these funds into higher yielding earning assets as interest rates increase.
“Our loan pipeline continues to build and we expect to see further improvement in our profitability as we generate a higher level of loan growth, redeploy our excess liquidity, and fully realize the cost savings from the Teton acquisition. While macroeconomic and geopolitical issues have created a more challenging operating environment, we believe that we are well positioned to manage through these headwinds and continue to deliver strong results for our shareholders,” said Mr. Wylie.

Revenue
Gross revenue (1) was $26.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 14.8% from $23.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, due primarily to an increase in net interest income driven by an increase in average interest-earning assets. Relative to the first quarter of 2021, gross revenue increased 13.7% from $23.7 million for the first quarter of 2021, primarily driven by growth in interest-earning assets.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2022 was $18.3 million, an increase of 27.1% from $14.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase was due primarily to the increase in average interest-earning assets resulting from the Teton acquisition and strong organic growth in the fourth quarter of 2021, which drove an increase in average loans of $268.9 million and an increase in average interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions of $196.7 million compared to December 31, 2021.
Relative to the first quarter of 2021, net interest income increased 40.1% from $13.1 million. The year-over-year increase in net interest income was due primarily to the increase in average interest-earning assets driven by an increase in average loans of $367.8 million and an increase in average interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions of $261.0 million compared to March 31, 2021.
Net Interest Margin
Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2022 increased to 2.98% from 2.92% in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to higher loan yields driven mainly by accretion income on acquired loans by $0.3 million as a result of the Teton acquisition last quarter, which positively impacted net interest margin by 5 bps in the first quarter of 2022, compared to a negative impact of 9 bps in the fourth quarter of 2021.
The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased slightly to 0.23% in the first quarter of 2022, from 0.27% in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the yield on interest-earning assets remained unchanged at 3.20% in the first quarter of 2022 from the fourth quarter of 2021.
Relative to the first quarter of 2021, the net interest margin increased from 2.90%, primarily due to a positive PPP impact of 6 bps in the first quarter of 2022, compared to a negative impact of 6 bps in the first quarter of 2021.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2022 was $8.6 million, a decrease of 9.5% from $9.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. This was primarily due to a $0.6 million decrease in risk management and insurance fees and a $0.5 million net gain on equity interests recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021. Trust and investment management fees and net gain on mortgage loans remained flat quarter-over-quarter.
Relative to the first quarter of 2021, non-interest income decreased 18.7% from $10.6 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower mortgage segment activity, partially offset by higher trust and investment management fees and bank fees.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2022 was $19.4 million, a decrease of 5.5% from $20.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to higher acquisition-related costs incurred in the fourth quarter of 2021, partially offset by the addition of Teton’s operations at the end of 2021.
Relative to the first quarter of 2021, non-interest expense increased 24.1% from $15.6 million. The increase is primarily due to the addition of Teton’s operations at the end of 2021.
The impact of the mergers and acquisition activity is as follows (in thousands):

Income Taxes
The Company recorded income tax expense of $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2022, representing an effective tax rate of 24.5%, compared to 25.9% for the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease in effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2022 was primarily attributable to temporary and permanent tax differences on acquisition costs as of December 31, 2021.
Loans
Total loans held for investment were $1.93 billion as of March 31, 2022, a decrease of 1.2% from $1.95 billion as of December 31, 2021, and an increase of 24.8% from $1.55 billion as of March 31, 2021. The decrease in total loans held for investment from December 31, 2021 was attributable to a decrease in PPP loans of $30.1 million as well as a high level of loan payoffs influenced by our high net worth and entrepreneurial clients selling businesses and properties to take advantage of significant appreciation in the value of those assets. Including the $252.3 million in loans acquired in the Teton acquisition and the decrease of $173.8 million in PPP loans, the net increase in total loans held for investment from March 31, 2021 was attributed to increases in each loan category. Excluding PPP loans, acquired loans, and loans accounted for under the fair value option, total loans held for investment were $1.59 billion as of March 31, 2022, an increase of $34.6 million, or 2.2%, from the end of the prior quarter and an increase of $345.2 million, or 27.8%, from March 31, 2021.
PPP loans were $16.7 million as of March 31, 2022, a net decrease of 64.4% from $46.8 million as of December 31, 2021, and 91.2% from $190.5 million as of March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, there were $0.3 million remaining in net fees to be recognized upon forgiveness or repayment of PPP loans.
Deposits
Total deposits were $2.27 billion as of March 31, 2022, compared to $2.21 billion as of December 31, 2021, and $1.81 billion as of March 31, 2021. The increase in total deposits from December 31, 2021 was related to continued inflows of both noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing deposits from new business development efforts. The increase in total deposits from March 31, 2021 was related to $379.2 million in deposits added through the Teton acquisition and $85.1 million in remaining net growth.
Average total deposits for the first quarter of 2022 increased $469.3 million, or 104.0% annualized, from the fourth quarter of 2021 and increased $553.3 million, or 32.2%, from the first quarter of 2021. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year increase in average deposits was primarily attributable to the Teton acquisition and organic growth in non-interest bearing and interest checking accounts.
Borrowings
Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve borrowings were $27.6 million as of March 31, 2022, a decrease of $11.1 million from $38.6 million as of December 31, 2021, and a decrease of $170.5 million from $198.0 million as of March 31, 2021. The decrease from December 31, 2021 and from March 31, 2021 is attributable to the participation in the Paycheck Protection Program Loan Facility (“PPPLF”) from the Federal Reserve. Borrowing from this facility is expected to trend in the same direction as the balances of the PPP loans and the resulting net decrease in PPP loans drove the decrease to the PPPLF balance. As of March 31, 2022, the PPPLF had advances of $12.6 million compared to PPP loan balance of $16.7 million.
Assets Under Management
Total assets under management (“AUM”) decreased by $152.5 million during the first quarter to $7.20 billion as of March 31, 2022, compared to $7.35 billion as of December 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily attributable to unfavorable market conditions resulting in a decrease in the value of AUM balances. Total AUM increased by $713.7 million compared to March 31, 2021 from $6.49 billion, which was primarily attributable to improved market conditions throughout 2021 and the Teton acquisition.
Credit Quality
Non-performing assets totaled $4.3 million, or 0.17% of total assets, as of March 31, 2022, compared to $4.3 million, or 0.17% of total assets, as of December 31, 2021 and $4.0 million, or 0.18% of total assets, as of March 31, 2021.
The Company recorded a provision of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to no provision recorded in the first quarter of 2021. The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $0.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The provision recorded in the first quarter of 2022 represented general provisioning consistent with growth of the bank originated loan portfolio, excluding PPP loans, and changes in the portfolio mix, we believe the resulting allowance for loan loss is representative of continued strong credit quality in the portfolio.
Capital
As of March 31, 2022, First Western (“Consolidated”) and First Western Trust Bank (“Bank”) exceeded the minimum capital levels required by their respective regulators. As of March 31, 2022, the Bank was classified as “well capitalized,” as summarized in the following table:
March 31, 2022 Consolidated Capital Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 11.11 % Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") to risk-weighted assets 11.11 Total capital to risk-weighted assets 13.81 Tier 1 capital to average assets 7.67 Bank Capital Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 12.01 CET1 to risk-weighted assets 12.01 Total capital to risk-weighted assets 12.82 Tier 1 capital to average assets 8.27 Book value per common share increased 1.8% from $23.25 as of December 31, 2021 to $23.68 as of March 31, 2022, and was up 16.7% from $20.29 as of March 31, 2021.
