Northrim BanCorp Earns $8.6 Million, or $1.48 Per Diluted Share, in Fourth Quarter 2022, and $30.7 Million, or $5.27 Per Diluted Share, for the Year Ended December 31, 2022

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Jan. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:NRIM) (“Northrim” or the "Company") today reported net income of $8.6 million, or $1.48 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $10.1 million, or $1.76 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2022, and $8.1 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter a year ago. The decrease in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2022 is primarily due to an increase in the provision for credit losses primarily as a result of loan growth and lower net income in the Home Mortgage Lending segment resulting from a decline in mortgage originations. The increase in the fourth quarter of 2022 profitability as compared to the same quarter of the prior year was primarily due to an increase in net interest income, which was only partially offset by lower net income in the mortgage banking segment.
Net income for the full year of 2022 decreased 18% to $30.7 million, or $5.27 per diluted share, compared to $37.5 million, or $6.00 per diluted share, for the full year of 2021. Full year 2022 results included a provision for credit losses of $1.8 million due to loan growth, compared to a $4.1 million benefit to the provision for credit losses in 2021. Record net interest income and continued core loan (excluding Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans) and deposit growth supported record 2022 earnings in the Community Banking segment, while a decline in mortgage originations resulted in a $897,000 loss in the Home Mortgage Lending segment in 2022 compared to $10.3 million in net income in 2021.
Dividends per share in the fourth quarter of 2022 remained consistent with the third quarter of 2022 at $0.50 per share and increased 32% from $0.38 per share in the fourth quarter of 2021.
“2022 demonstrated the strength of our bank as our high-quality deposit franchise funded solid loan and net interest income growth,” said Joe Schierhorn, President and Chief Executive Officer Northrim BanCorp, Inc. “We continue to invest in our business with new branches, new mortgage offices, and team members driving market share growth. We believe we are well-positioned to continue our growth this year and to demonstrate the value of Northrim Bank.”

Alaska Economic Update
(Note: sources for information included in this section are included below.)During 2022, the Alaska economy continued recovering from the effects of the COVID pandemic. Mark Edwards, Chief Credit Officer and Bank Economist summarizes, “jobs steadily increased throughout the year and unemployment remains low. Continued high inflation is impacting business activity, and incomes are rising, but not at the same pace as inflation. Average home sales prices were at record highs, but the number of units sold has declined as interest rates rose rapidly. Alaska is enjoying a healthy rebound in tourism activity and the construction, warehousing and transport sectors are performing well. Energy exploration success is projected to translate into new oil production which could help support Alaska state government budgets in the future.”
The Alaska Department of Labor (“DOL”) has released preliminary data through November of 2022. The DOL reports total payroll jobs in Alaska increased 1.7% or 5,200 jobs compared to November of 2021. All private sectors showed year over year growth in jobs with the exception of Social Assistance, which declined 600 jobs over the last 12 months. The Government sector lost 300 jobs between November of 2021 and 2022.
According to the DOL, the Oil and Gas sector showed the largest year over year increase of 7.5%. The Oil and Gas sector has benefited from higher energy prices and new exploration activity, resulting in an increase of 500 jobs since November of 2021. The Trade, Transportation, and Utilities sectors have fully recovered from pre-COVID levels and now have 600 more jobs than November of 2019. The Leisure and Hospitality sector had strong growth of 7.3% over the same 12 month period, adding 2,100 jobs. Other Services grew 3.8%; Professional and Business Services added 2.7%; Construction grew 2.6%; and Manufacturing increased 1.3%.
The DOL also reported Alaska’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for November of 2022 was 4.5% compared to 3.7% for the U.S. Both Alaska and the U.S. rates were unchanged from October.
Alaska’s Gross State Product (“GSP”) in the third quarter of 2022, was estimated to be $65.1 billion in “nominal” terms, according to the Federal Bureau of Economic Analysis (“BEA”). Alaska’s inflation adjusted “real” GSP grew at an annualized rate of 8.7% in the third quarter of 2022 in the BEA’s most recent report published December 23, 2022. Alaska’s third quarter performance was the highest growth rate of all 50 states. Real GSP increased in 47 of the 50 U.S. states in the third quarter of 2022 at an average rate of 3.2%. Alaska’s real GSP improvement was primarily due to gains in the Oil and Gas sector, followed by growth in Transportation and Warehousing.
The BEA also calculated Alaska’s seasonally adjusted personal income at $51 billion in the third quarter of 2022, an improvement of 5.8% over the prior quarter on an annualized basis. The national average was an increase of 5.3% for the same period.
The price of Alaska North Slope (“ANS”) crude oil averaged $91.41 per barrel in Alaska’s fiscal year, which ended June 30, 2022. The Alaska Department of Revenue (“DOR”) forecasts ANS oil to average $88.45 per barrel in State fiscal year 2023 and $81 in 2024. The DOR calculated ANS crude oil production was 486 thousand barrels per day in Alaska’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. The DOR has forecast production to increase to 501 thousand barrels per day in Alaska’s fiscal year 2023 and 512 thousand barrels per day in 2024. This is primarily a result of new production coming on line in the NPR-A region west of Prudhoe Bay.
According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, Alaska’s home mortgage delinquency rate in the third quarter of 2022 was 2.56% compared to 3.58% in the second quarter of 2022. The Alaska Housing Finance Corporation received COVID relief money that was widely distributed in this period that likely helped lower the delinquency levels. Alaska’s delinquency rate of 2.56% compares to the national average rate of 3.59% for the third quarter of 2022. The Mortgage Bankers Association survey reported that the mortgage foreclosure inventory in Alaska in the third quarter of 2022 was 0.60% and the national average was 0.56%.
According to the Alaska Multiple Listing Services, the average sales price of a single family home in Anchorage rose 7.7% in 2022 to $456,610. This was the fifth consecutive year of price increases, following growth of 6.9% in 2021 and 5.8% in 2020. Average sales prices in the Matanuska Susitna Borough rose 10% in 2022 to $382,528, continuing a trend of average price increases for more than a decade. Average home prices in the Matanuska Susitna Borough increased 15.6% in 2021 and 9.9% in 2020. These two markets represent where the vast majority of Northrim Bank’s residential lending activity occurs.
The number of housing units sold in Anchorage did slow in 2022 by 21.3% compared to 2021, as reported by the Alaska Multiple Listing Services. The number of units sold in Anchorage had been increasing for the prior three years, growing by 11.2% in 2021. The Matanuska Susitna Borough also experienced a lower volume of home sales, down 11.9% in 2022 compared to the prior year. The number of units sold in the Matanuska Susitna Borough had been increasing for the prior four years and grew by 11.7% in 2021.

Review of Income Statement
Consolidated Income Statement
In the fourth quarter of 2022, Northrim generated a ROAA of 1.26% and a ROAE of 15.71%, compared to 1.52% and 18.18%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2022 and 1.23% and 13.14%, respectively, in the fourth quarter a year ago.
Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin
Net interest income increased 4% to $27.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $26.3 million in the third quarter of 2022 and increased 26% compared to $21.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Interest income continues to benefit from the amortization of PPP loan fees and the full recognition of the deferred PPP loan fees upon forgiveness by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”), though to a lesser extent than prior periods. During the fourth quarter of 2022, Northrim received $3.9 million in loan forgiveness through the SBA, compared to $21.1 million in loan forgiveness during the prior quarter, resulting in total net PPP fee income of $169,000 and $686,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, there was $221,000 of net deferred PPP fee income remaining.
NIMTE* was 4.36% in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to 4.27% in the preceding quarter and 3.54% in the fourth quarter a year ago. NIMTE* increased 9 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the prior quarter and 82 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily due to higher yields on portfolio loans, investments, and interest bearing deposits in other banks. The weighted average interest rate for new loans booked in the fourth quarter of 2022 was 6.25% compared to 5.76% in the third quarter of 2022 and 4.16% in the fourth quarter a year ago. Additionally, the Company purchased long-term investments in the fourth quarter of 2022 with a weighted average yield of 5.64% compared to 4.01% in the third quarter of 2022 and 1.22% in the fourth quarter a year ago. The impact of SBA PPP loan fees and interest on net interest income, increased our NIMTE* by 3 basis points during the fourth quarter of this year compared to what our NIMTE* would have been if we had not made any SBA PPP loans. “We expect our net interest margin to continue to improve with expected increases in interest rates during 2023, as nearly 72% of our loan portfolio has adjusting rates and our large cash position will reprice immediately upon any rate increases,” said Jed Ballard, Chief Financial Officer. Northrim’s NIMTE* continues to remain above the peer average posted by the S&P U.S. Small Cap Bank Index with total market capitalization between $250 million and $1 billion as of September 30, 20221.
Provision for Credit Losses
Northrim recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, which includes a $117,000 provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments and a provision for credit losses on loans of $1.8 million. This compares to a benefit to the provision for credit losses of $353,000 in the third quarter of 2022, and a benefit to the provision for credit losses of $1.1 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. The $1.9 million provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2022 is largely attributable to increases in loan and unfunded commitment balances. The third quarter of 2022 also included the receipt of $1.4 million in net loan recoveries.
Nonperforming loans, net of government guarantees, decreased during the quarter to $6.4 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $6.5 million at September 30, 2022, and decreased compared to $10.7 million at December 31, 2021.
The allowance for credit losses was 215% of nonperforming loans, net of government guarantees, at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 185% three months earlier and 110% 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, including purchased receivables financing and wealth management. Other operating income contributed $6.8 million, or 20% of total fourth quarter 2022 revenues, as compared to $8.7 million, or 25% of revenues in the third quarter of 2022, and $9.6 million, or 31% of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease in other operating income in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to the preceding quarter and the fourth quarter of 2022 is primarily the result of lower volume of mortgage activity which was only partially offset by an

increase in commercial servicing revenue primarily resulting from an increase in the fair value of commercial servicing rights.
Other Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $22.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $22.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, and $23.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease in other operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2022 and fourth quarter of 2021 is primarily due to decreased salaries and other personnel expense that includes lower mortgage commission expense due to lower mortgage volume.
Income Tax Provision
In the fourth quarter of 2022, Northrim recorded $1.4 million in state and federal income tax expense for an effective tax rate of 13.6%, compared to $2.9 million, or 22.4% in the third quarter of 2022 and $1.3 million, or 13.4% in the fourth quarter a year ago. The decrease in the tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2022 is primarily the result of increased tax benefits related to the Company's investment in low income housing tax credits.
Community Banking
Northrim opened its eighteenth branch in Nome, Alaska in the fourth quarter of 2022. Northrim received permission from the State of Alaska to open a temporary location to meet the needs of the Nome Community in the aftermath of storms that devastated the region late last year. “We are pleased to be able to open a branch in Nome and are proud to be able to serve Northwest Alaska,” said Mike Huston, Northrim Bank President and Chief Lending Officer. “We have planned to open a financial center in Nome and are happy to open this branch early to help people access banking services, especially after the damage from Typhoon Merbok. We are looking forward to growing in the area and servicing the community.”
Net interest income in the Community Banking segment totaled $26.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $25.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 and $21.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Net interest income benefited from $193,000 of PPP income in the fourth quarter of 2022, and $735,000 of PPP income in the third quarter of 2022. As of December 31, 2022, there was $221,000 of unearned loan fees net of costs related to round one and round two PPP loans. Net interest income in the third quarter of 2022 also benefited from the recognition of $1.2 million in nonaccrual interest as a result of payments received on previously charged-off loans.
In the recent deposit market share data from the FDIC for the period from June 30, 2021, to June 30, 2022, Northrim’s deposit market share in Alaska increased to $2.4 billion, or 13.95% of total Alaska deposits as of June 30, 2022 from $2.2 billion, or 13.00% of total Alaska deposits as of June 30, 2021. Northrim’s deposits grew 9% during this period while total deposits in Alaska were up 1% during the same period.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, mortgage loan volume sold decreased to $82.1 million, of which 89% was for home purchases, compared to $168.8 million and 93% of loans funded for home purchases in the third quarter of 2022, and decreased as compared to $247.2 million, of which 70% was for home purchases in the fourth quarter of 2021. The rising interest rate environment has caused the housing market to slow down and also resulted in fewer refinances compared to the prior year and decreased the yields on mortgage loans sold in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to the prior quarter and the fourth quarter a year ago.
In addition to the $82.1 million in mortgage loans sold in the fourth quarter of 2022, Northrim originated $34.6 million in mortgage loans that have been retained by the Company instead of being sold into the secondary market. These represent mortgage products with adjustable rate mortgages whose interest rates are fixed for 7 years, jumbo mortgages and second home mortgages.
The net change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights decreased mortgage banking income by $318,000 during the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to amortization of the asset as cash flows are collected, compared to an increase of $145,000 for the third quarter of 2022 and a decrease of $549,000 for the fourth quarter of 2021.
As of December 31, 2022, Northrim serviced 3,459 loans in its $898.8 million home-mortgage-servicing portfolio, a 5% increase compared to the $859.3 million serviced for the third quarter of 2022, and a 16% increase from the $772.8 million serviced a year ago. Delinquencies in the loan servicing portfolio totaled 1.9% at December 31, 2022, compared to 2.6% at December 31, 2021. Mortgage servicing revenue contributed $2.1 million to revenues in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2022, and $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.
The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Residential Mortgage, LLC (“RML”), expanded into Arizona and Colorado markets at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2022 and near the end of the fourth quarter of 2022 further expanded into the Pacific Northwest market. “With the continued contraction of the mortgage industry, RML has the opportunity to bring on quality loan originators in a cost effective way by continuing to use our current employees to support the production of RML’s new loan originators,” said Mike Baldwin, RML President and Chief Operating Officer.

Northrim’s total assets were $2.67 billion at December 31, 2022, down 2% from the preceding quarter and from a year ago. Northrim’s loan-to-deposit ratio was 63% at December 31, 2022, up from 58% at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.
Liquidity levels remain high with interest bearing deposits in other banks at $231.6 million, representing 9% of interest-earning assets as of December 31, 2022, compared to 24% at December 31, 2021.
Average interest-earning assets were $2.51 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022, up 2% from $2.47 billion in the third quarter of 2022 and up 3% from $2.45 billion in the fourth quarter a year ago. The average yield on interest-earning assets was 4.74% in the fourth quarter of 2022, up from 4.47% in the preceding quarter and 3.67% in the fourth quarter a year ago.
Average investment securities increased to $712.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $678.6 million in the third quarter of 2022 and $432.3 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. The average net tax equivalent yield on the securities portfolio was 2.30% for the fourth quarter of 2022, up from 1.98% in the preceding quarter and up from 1.17% in the year ago quarter. The average estimated duration of the investment portfolio at December 31, 2022, was approximately three and a quarter years down from approximately four and a quarter years a year ago. Unrealized losses, net of tax, on available for sale securities decreased by $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to the prior quarter, and increased by $27.4 million compared to the year ago quarter, resulting in a total unrealized loss of $30.1 million at December 31, 2022 due primarily to rising interest rates.
“Core loans, excluding PPP loans, increased $98.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2022, as new customer relationships continued to expand and grow,” said Huston. Consumer loans increased $32.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 primarily due to the origination of mortgages in the Home Mortgage Lending segment noted above that the Company retained instead of selling into the secondary market. At December 31, 2022, commercial loans represented 41% of total loans, PPP loans represented less than 1% of total loans, commercial real estate owner occupied loans comprised 17% of total loans, commercial real estate non-owner occupied loans comprised 29% of total loans, construction loans made up 8% of total loans, and consumer loans represented 5% of total loans. Portfolio loans were $1.50 billion at December 31, 2022, up 7% from the preceding quarter and up 6% from a year ago. Core loans, excluding the impact from PPP, were $1.49 billion at December 31, 2022 up 7% from the preceding quarter and up 15% from a year ago. Average portfolio loans in the fourth quarter of 2022 were $1.47 billion, which was up 4% from the preceding quarter and from a year ago. Yields on average portfolio loans in the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased to 5.98% from 6.05% in the third quarter of 2022 and increased from 5.75% in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease in the yield on portfolio loans in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2022 is primarily due to a decrease in the collection of nonaccrual interest income to $190,000 in the fourth quarter from $1.2 million in the third quarter. The increase in yield in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter a year ago is primarily due to loan repricing due to the increases in interest rates and new loans booked at higher rates due to changes in the interest rate environment.
As of December 31, 2022, Northrim customers had received forgiveness through the SBA on 5,742 PPP loans totaling $607.0 million, of which 47 PPP loans totaling $3.9 million were forgiven in the fourth quarter of 2022, 364 PPP loans totaling $21.1 million were forgiven in the third quarter of 2022, 417 PPP loans totaling $33.7 million were forgiven in the second quarter of 2022, 537 PPP loans totaling $56.9 million were forgiven in the first quarter of 2022, and 4,451 PPP loans totaling $491.4 million were forgiven in 2021. All the PPP loans forgiven in the fourth quarter of 2022 were related to PPP round two. As of December 31, 2022, nearly 100% of the number of PPP round one loans funded and 99% of the number of PPP round two loans funded have been forgiven.
Alaskans continue to account for substantially all of Northrim’s deposit base, which is primarily made up of low-cost transaction accounts. Total deposits were $2.39 billion at December 31, 2022, down 2% from $2.44 billion at September 30, 2022, and down 1% from $2.42 billion a year ago. At December 31, 2022, 68% of total deposits were held in business accounts and 32% of deposit balances were held in consumer accounts. Demand deposits decreased by 7% from the prior quarter and decreased 10% year-over-year to $797.4 million at December 31, 2022. Average interest-bearing deposits were up 4% to $1.58 billion with an average cost of 0.56% in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $1.52 billion and an average cost of 0.28% in the third quarter of 2022, and up 8% compared to $1.46 billion and an average cost of 0.16% in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Shareholders’ equity was $218.6 million, or $38.35 book value per share, at December 31, 2022, compared to $210.7 million, or $37.09 book value per share, at September 30, 2022 and $237.8 million, or $39.54 book value per share, a year ago. Tangible book value per share* was $35.55 at December 31, 2022, compared to $34.27 at September 30, 2022, and $36.88 per share a year ago. Tangible common equity to tangible assets* was 7.63% as of December 31, 2022, compared to 7.21% at September 30, 2022, and 8.19% at December 31, 2021. Excluding the impact of the fair value of the available for sales securities portfolio, tangible common equity to tangible common assets* was 8.67% as of December 31, 2022. Northrim continues to maintain capital levels in excess of the requirements to be categorized as “well-capitalized” with Tier 1 Capital to Risk Adjusted Assets of 12.81% at December 31, 2022, compared to 12.98% at September 30, 2022, and 14.08% at December 31, 2021.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) net of government guarantees were $6.4 million at December 31, 2022, down from $10.8 million at September 30, 2022 and from $15.0 million a year ago primarily due to the sale of OREO property which reduced OREO to zero from $5.6 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company holds a government guarantee related to the OREO property that was sold in December 2022, however, the value of this guarantee has not been included in the Company's financial statements in 2022 due to uncertainty as to the total amount that will be received from the guarantee. For the fourth quarter of 2022, a loss from the sale of OREO of $414,000 is included in OREO expense, net of rental income and gains on sale in the income statement. We expect to receive proceeds related to this government guarantee in 2023.
Nonaccrual loans net of guarantees decreased to $6.4 million at December 31, 2022 from $6.5 million at September 30, 2022 and from $10.7 million as of December 31, 2021 primarily due to loan payoffs or paydowns. Of the NPAs at December 31, 2022, $4.8 million, or 74% are nonaccrual loans related to four commercial relationships.
Net adversely classified loans were $7.6 million at December 31, 2022, as compared to $7.6 million at September 30, 2022, and $13.7 million a year ago. Adversely classified loans are loans that Northrim has classified as substandard, doubtful, and loss, net of government guarantees. Net loan recoveries were $87,000 in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to net loan recoveries of $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, and net loan charge-offs of $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Performing restructured loans that were not included in nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2022, net of government guarantees were $291,000, down from $574,000 three months earlier and down from $773,000 a year ago. 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, unless it is the result of the COVID-19 global pandemic. The Company presents restructured loans that are performing separately from those that are classified as nonaccrual to provide more information on this category of loans and to differentiate between accruing performing and nonperforming restructured loans.
Excluding SBA PPP loans, Northrim had $126.5 million, or 8% of total portfolio loans, in the Healthcare sector; $96.3 million, or 6% of portfolio loans, in the Tourism sector; $70.8 million, or 5% in the Fishing sector; $65.1 million, or 4% in the Accommodations sector; $54.8 million, or 4% in Retail loans; $50.8 million, or 3% of portfolio loans, in the Aviation (non-tourism) sector; and $46.9 million, or 3% in the Restaurants and Breweries sector as of December 31, 2022.
Northrim estimates that $83.4 million, or approximately 6% of portfolio loans excluding SBA PPP loans, had direct exposure to the oil and gas industry in Alaska, as of December 31, 2022, and $2.7 million of these loans are adversely classified. As of December 31, 2022, Northrim has an additional $51.8 million in unfunded commitments to companies with direct exposure to the oil and gas industry in Alaska, and none of these unfunded commitments are considered to be adversely classified loans. Northrim defines direct exposure to the oil and gas sector as loans to borrowers that provide oilfield services and other companies that have been identified as significantly reliant upon activity in Alaska related to the oil and gas industry, such as lodging, equipment rental, transportation and other logistics services specific to this industry.

Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis
Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis ("NIMTE") is a non-GAAP performance measurement in which interest income on non-taxable investments and loans is presented on a tax equivalent basis using a combined federal and state statutory rate of 28.43% in both 2021 and 2020. The most comparable GAAP measure is net interest margin and the following table sets forth the reconciliation of NIMTE to net interest margin.
