    ANCHORAGE, Alaska, July 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:NRIM) (“Northrim” or the “Company”) today reported net income of $9.0 million, or $1.62 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $8.2 million, or $1.48 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2024, and $5.6 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, in the second quarter a year ago. The increase in second quarter 2024 profitability as compared to the prior quarter and the second quarter a year ago was primarily the result of an increase in mortgage banking income and higher net interest income, as well as a lower provision for credit losses.

    Dividends per share in the second quarter of 2024 remained consistent with the first quarter of 2024 at $0.61 per share and increased as compared to $0.60 per share in the second quarter of 2023.

    “Our strategic focus on capturing market share while maintaining our disciplined credit culture delivered another quarter of strong results,” said Mike Huston, Northrim’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our investments in infrastructure and people continue to attract new clients who recognize the differentiated service we provide. Looking ahead, we are optimistic about continued deposit and loan growth throughout our expanding footprint in Alaska.”

    “I am also pleased to welcome our new CIO, Nathan Reed, to the executive team where he will oversee enhancements to our online banking presence and operating processes,” continued Mr. Huston.

    Alaska Economic Update
    (Note: sources for information included in this section are included on page 13.)

    The Alaska Department of Labor (“DOL”) has reported Alaska’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in May of 2024 was 4.5% compared to the U.S. rate of 4%. The total number of payroll jobs in Alaska, not including uniformed military, increased 2.9% or 9,300 jobs between May of 2023 and May of 2024.  

    According to the DOL, Construction and Health Care had the largest growth in new jobs through May 2024 compared to the prior year. The Construction sector added 2,500 positions for a year over year growth rate of 14.5% in May of 2024. The Health Care sector grew by 1,700 jobs for an annual growth rate of 4.3%. The Oil & Gas sector increased by 9.5% or 700 new direct jobs. Professional and Business Services added 1,100 jobs year over year through May of 2024, up 3.9%. The Government sector grew by 1,200 jobs for 1.5% growth, adding 600 Federal jobs and 600 State and local positions in Alaska. The only sectors to decline between May 2023 and May 2024 were Financial Activities, shrinking 100 positions and Information, down 200 jobs.

    Alaska’s Gross State Product (“GSP”) in the first quarter of 2024, was estimated to be $69.2 billion in current dollars, according to the Federal Bureau of Economic Analysis ("BEA"). Alaska’s inflation adjusted “real” GSP grew 5.3% in 2023, placing Alaska fourth best of all 50 states. In the first quarter of 2024 Alaska grew at an annualized rate of 2.6%, compared to the average U.S. rate of 1.4%. This ranked Alaska 10th best of the 50 states for the first quarter of 2024. Alaska’s real GSP improvement in the first quarter of 2024 was aided by gains in the Mining, Oil & Gas; and Transportation and Warehousing sectors.

    The BEA also calculated Alaska’s seasonally adjusted personal income at $54.1 billion in the first quarter of 2024.   This was an annualized improvement of 7% for Alaska, equal to the national average of 7%.

    The monthly average price of Alaska North Slope (“ANS”) crude oil was in a range between $75.64 and $95.05 in 2023. In the first five months of 2024 the monthly average price has been between $79.64 and $89.05. The Alaska Department of Revenue (“DOR”) calculated ANS crude oil production was 479 thousand barrels per day (“bpd”) in Alaska’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. The DOR has forecast production to decline slightly to 468 thousand bpd in Alaska’s fiscal year 2024 and grow to 477 thousand bpd in fiscal year 2025. The DOR projects the number to reach 641 thousand bpd by fiscal year 2034 over the next decade. This is primarily a result of new production coming on line in and around the NPR-A region west of Prudhoe Bay.   

    According to the Alaska Multiple Listing Services, the average sales price of a single family home in Anchorage rose 5.4% in 2023 to $480,272, following a 7.6% increase in 2022. This was the sixth consecutive year of price increases. In the first six months of 2024 the average price continues to increase 4.8% to an average sale of $503,474.

    The average sales price for single family homes in the Matanuska Susitna Borough rose 4% in 2023 to $397,589, after increasing 9.9% in 2022. This continues a trend of average price increases for more than a decade in the region. In the first six months of 2024 the average sales price increased 3.4% to $410,912 according to the Alaska Multiple Listing Services. These two markets represent where the vast majority of the Bank’s residential lending activity occurs.

    However, the Alaska Multiple Listing Services reported a large decrease in the number of units sold in both communities in 2023.   There were 2,162 housing units sold in Anchorage in 2023, down 24.1% compared to 2,849 in 2022. In the Matanuska Susitna Borough there were 1,636 homes sold in 2023, compared to 2,103 in 2022, a decrease of 22.2%.

    In the first six months of 2024 in Anchorage there were 4.2% fewer homes sold than over the same period in 2023. The Matanuska Susitna Borough declined 9.1% in homes sold comparing the first six months of 2023 and 2024.

    Review of Income Statement

    Consolidated Income Statement

    In the second quarter of 2024, Northrim generated a ROAA of 1.31% and a ROAE of 14.84%, compared to 1.19% and 13.84%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2024 and 0.85% and 9.85%, respectively, in the second quarter a year ago.

    Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin

    Net interest income increased 2% to $27.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $26.4 million in the first quarter of 2024 and increased 8% compared to $25.1 million in the second quarter of 2023.   Interest expense on deposits increased to $9.5 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $9.2 million in the first quarter and $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2023.

    NIMTE* was 4.30% in the second quarter of 2024 up from 4.22% in the preceding quarter and 4.21% in the second quarter a year ago. NIMTE* increased 9 basis points in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023 primarily due to a favorable change in the mix of earning-assets towards higher loan balances as a percentage of total earning-assets, higher earning-assets, and higher yields on those assets which were only partially offset by an increase in costs on interest-bearing deposits. The weighted average interest rate for new loans booked in the second quarter of 2024 was 7.26% compared to 7.15% in the first quarter of 2024 and 6.93% in the second quarter a year ago. One long-term investment was purchased during the second quarter of 2024 with a yield of 5.13%. There were no long-term investments purchased in the first quarter of 2024 or second quarter of 2023. The yield on the portfolio in the second quarter of 2024 remained consistent with the first quarter of 2024 at 2.82% and increased from 2.40% in the second quarter of 2023. “We saw the benefit of new loan volume and repricing outweigh the modest increase in deposit costs in the second quarter of 2024 and anticipate net interest margin leveling off through the remainder of the year,” said Jed Ballard, Chief Financial Officer. Northrim’s NIMTE* continues to remain above the peer average of 3.11% posted by the S&P U.S. Small Cap Bank Index with total market capitalization between $250 million and $1 billion as of March 31, 2024.

    Provision for Credit Losses

    Northrim recorded a benefit to the provision for credit losses of $120,000 in the second quarter of 2024, which was the net of a $255,000 benefit for credit losses on unfunded commitments and a provision for credit losses on loans of $135,000. The benefit to the provision for unfunded commitments was primarily due to a decrease in unfunded commitments as well as improvement in estimated loss rates due to changes in mix and management's assessment of economic conditions. The increase to the provision for credit losses on loans was primarily a result of loan growth which was partially offset by a decrease in the provision for loans individually evaluated and a decrease in estimated loss rates. This compares to a provision for credit losses of $149,000 in the first quarter of 2024, and provision for credit losses of $1.4 million in the second quarter a year ago. The decrease in the provision for credit losses on loans in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to lower loan growth during the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the second quarter of 2023.

    Nonperforming loans, net of government guarantees, decreased during the quarter to $4.8 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $5.3 million at March 31, 2024, and $5.3 million at June 30, 2023.

    The allowance for credit losses on loans was 365% of nonperforming loans, net of government guarantees, at the end of the first quarter of 2024, compared to 333% three months earlier and 292% 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 $9.6 million, or 26% of total second quarter 2024 revenues, as compared to $7.8 million, or 23% of revenues in the first quarter of 2024, and $7.0 million, or 22% of revenues in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in other operating income in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the preceding quarter and the second quarter of 2023 was primarily the result of an increase in mortgage banking income due to a higher volume of mortgage activity due to our expansion in Arizona, Colorado, and the Pacific Northwest markets. The fair market value of marketable equity securities decreased $60,000 in the second quarter of 2024 compared to an increase of $314,000 in the prior quarter and a decrease of $234,000 in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in other operating income in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the second quarter a year ago was due primarily to a higher volume of mortgage activity, as well as an increase in purchased receivable income due to higher balances and increased rates. See further discussion regarding mortgage activity during the second quarter contained under “Home Mortgage Lending” below.

    Other Operating Expenses

    Operating expenses were $25.2 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $23.6 million in the first quarter of 2024, and $23.8 million in the second quarter of 2023.   The increase in other operating expenses in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 was primarily due to an increase in salaries and other personnel expense, including $807,000 in mortgage commissions expense due to higher mortgage volume, as well as an increase in OREO expense due to a gain on sale recorded in the first quarter of 2024 for proceeds received related to a government guarantee on an OREO property sold in December 2022. The increase in other operating expenses in the second quarter of 2024 compared to a year ago is primarily due to an increase in salaries and other personnel expense.

    Income Tax Provision

    In the first quarter of 2024, Northrim recorded $2.5 million in state and federal income tax expense for an effective tax rate of 21.9%, compared to $2.3 million, or 21.9% in the first quarter of 2024 and $1.4 million, or 19.6% in the second quarter a year ago. The increase in the tax rate in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the second quarter of 2023 is primarily the result of a decrease in tax credits and tax exempt interest income as a percentage of pre-tax income in 2024 as compared to 2023.

    Community Banking

    In the most recent deposit market share data from the FDIC, Northrim’s deposit market share in Alaska increased to 15.04% of Alaska's total deposits as of June 30, 2023 compared to 13.95% of Alaska's total deposits as of June 30, 2022. This represents 109 basis points of growth in market share percentage for Northrim during that period while, according to the FDIC, the total deposits in Alaska were down 8.5% during the same period. Updated market share data based on Alaska's total deposits as of June 30, 2024 should be available from the FDIC in September 2024. Northrim opened a branch in Kodiak in the first quarter of 2023, a loan production office in Homer in the second quarter of 2023, a permanent branch in Nome in the third quarter of 2023, and a branch in Homer in the first quarter of 2024. See below for further discussion regarding the Company's deposit movement for the quarter.

    Northrim is committed to meeting the needs of the diverse communities in which it operates. As a testament to that support, the Bank has branches in four regions of Alaska identified by the Federal Reserve as 'distressed or underserved non-metropolitan middle-income geographies'.

    Northrim's Commercial Banking Training Program was launched in 2022 to address persistent labor shortages in the Alaskan financial services industry. Trainees are selected from internal and external candidates to participate in a combination of classroom and rotational training with the goal of equipping trainees with the skills and experience they require to achieve long-term success and grow the future bankers at Northrim. Three graduates from the program were placed into full-time positions at the Bank in the second quarter of 2024.

    Net interest income in the Community Banking segment totaled $24.3 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $24.2 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $22.7 million in the second quarter of 2023. Net interest income increased slightly in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2024 mostly due to higher interest income on loans. This increase was only partially offset by higher interest expense on deposits and borrowings and lower interest income on short term and portfolio investments.

    Other operating expenses totaled $18.5 million in the second quarter of 2024, up $945,000 or 5% from $17.6 million in the first quarter of 2024, and up $692,000 or 4% from the second quarter a year ago. The increase in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the prior quarter was mostly due to an increase in salaries and other personnel expense, as well as an increase in OREO expense due to a gain on sale recorded in the first quarter of 2024 for proceeds received related to a government guarantee on an OREO property sold in December 2022.

    Home Mortgage Lending

    During the second quarter of 2024, mortgage loans funded for sale increased to $152.3 million, compared to $84.3 million in the first quarter of 2024, and $113.8 million in the second quarter of 2023.

    During the second quarter of 2024, the Bank purchased Residential Mortgage-originated loans of $29.2 million of which roughly one-third were jumbos, one-third were adjustable rate mortgages and one-third were mortgages for second homes, with a weighted average interest rate of 6.82%, up from $17.4 million and 6.65% in the first quarter of 2024, and down from $55.6 million and 5.70% in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in mortgage loans funded for investment has increased net interest income in the Home Mortgage Lending segment. Net interest income contributed $2.8 million to total revenue in the second quarter of 2024, up from $2.2 million in the prior quarter, and up from $2.4 million in the second quarter a year ago.

    The Arizona, Colorado, and the Pacific Northwest mortgage expansion markets were responsible for 22% of Residential Mortgage's $182 million total production in the second quarter of 2024, 19% of $102 million total production in the first quarter of 2024, and 15% of $169 million total production in the second quarter of 2023.

    The net change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights decreased mortgage banking income by $81,000 during the second quarter of 2024 compared to a decrease of $25,000 for the first quarter of 2024 and a decrease of $574,000 for the second quarter of 2023. Mortgage servicing revenue increased to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2024 from $1.6 million in the prior quarter and from $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2023 due to an increase in production of Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC) mortgages, which contribute to servicing revenues at origination. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company's servicing portfolio increased $41.8 million, which included $58.9 million in new mortgage loans, net of amortization and payoffs of $17.1 million as compared to a net increase of $15.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $12.8 million in the second quarter of 2023.

    As of June 30, 2024, Northrim serviced 4,031 loans in its $1.10 billion home-mortgage-servicing portfolio, a 4% increase compared to the $1.06 billion serviced as of the end of the first quarter of 2024, and a 20% increase from the $922 million serviced a year ago.

    Balance Sheet Review

    Northrim’s total assets were $2.82 billion at June 30, 2024, up 2% from the preceding quarter and up 7% from a year ago. Northrim’s loan-to-deposit ratio was 76% at June 30, 2024, up from 74% at March 31, 2024, and 72% at June 30, 2023.

    At June 30, 2024, our liquid assets, investments, and loans maturing within one year were $526.5 million and our funds available for borrowing under our existing lines of credit were $643.1 million. Given these sources of liquidity and our expectations for customer demands for cash and for our operating cash needs, we believe our sources of liquidity to be sufficient for the foreseeable future.

    Average interest-earning assets were $2.57 billion in the second quarter of 2024, up slightly from $2.56 billion in the first quarter of 2024 and up 5% from $2.43 billion in the second quarter a year ago. The average yield on interest-earning assets was 5.83% in the second quarter of 2024, up from 5.69% in the preceding quarter and 5.31% in the second quarter a year ago.

    Average investment securities decreased to $640.0 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $670.9 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $727.8 million in the second quarter a year ago. The average net tax equivalent yield on the securities portfolio was 2.82% for the second quarter of 2024, consistent with the preceding quarter and up from 2.40% in the year ago quarter. The average estimated duration of the investment portfolio at June 30, 2024, was approximately 2.5 years compared to approximately 3.0 years at June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, $111.5 million of available for sale securities with a weighted average yield of 1.02% are scheduled to mature in the next six months, $77.3 million with a weighted average yield of 2.35% are scheduled to mature in six months to one year, and $172.2 million with a weighted average yield of 1.49% are scheduled to mature in the following year, representing a total of $361.0 million or 14% of earning assets that are scheduled to mature in the next 24 months.

    Total unrealized losses, net of tax, on available for sale securities decreased by $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2024 resulting in total unrealized loss, net of tax, of $15.2 million compared to $17.2 million at March 31, 2024, and $27.5 million a year ago. The average maturity of the available for sale securities with the majority of the unrealized loss is 1.6 years. Total unrealized losses on held to maturity securities were $3.0 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $3.4 million at March 31, 2024, and $4.2 million a year ago.

    Average interest bearing deposits in other banks decreased to $17.4 million in the second quarter of 2024 from $61.6 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $66.1 million in the second quarter of 2023 as cash was used to fund the loan growth and provide liquidity.

    Portfolio loans were $1.88 billion at June 30, 2024, up 4% from the preceding quarter and up 13% from a year ago. Portfolio loans, excluding consumer mortgage loans, were $1.65 billion at June 30, 2024, up 4% from the preceding quarter and up 10% from a year ago. Average portfolio loans in the second quarter of 2024 were $1.85 billion, which was up 3% from the preceding quarter and up 15% from a year ago. Yields on average portfolio loans in the second quarter of 2024 increased to 6.87% from 6.75% in the first quarter of 2024 and from 6.48% in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in the yield on portfolio loans in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 and the second 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. The yield on new portfolio loans, excluding consumer mortgage loans, was 8.49% in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to 8.46% in the first quarter of 2024 and 7.70% in the second quarter of 2023. Approximately 28% of loans mature or reprice in the next three months, 16% of loans mature or reprice in three to twelve months, and 29% of loans mature or reprice in one to three years.

    Alaskans continue to account for substantially all of Northrim’s deposit base. Total deposits were $2.46 billion at June 30, 2024, up 1% from $2.43 billion at March 31, 2024, and up 7% from $2.30 billion a year ago. “The increase in deposits in the second quarter of 2024 were consistent with our customers' business cycles and a result of continued acquisition of new relationships,” said Ballard. At June 30, 2024, 71% of total deposits were held in business accounts and 29% of deposit balances were held in consumer accounts. Northrim had approximately 34,000 deposit customers with an average balance of $74,000 as of June 30, 2024. Northrim had 21 customers with balances over $10 million as of June 30, 2024, which accounted for $474.5 million, or 20%, of total deposits. Of these $474.5 million of deposits, approximately 40% are insured using ICS or CDARS and an additional 16% are long-term customers with whom Northrim has significant lending relationships. ICS and CDARS deposits are divided into amounts under the FDIC insurance maximum and allocated among member banks, making the large deposit eligible for FDIC insurance. Demand deposits decreased by 1% from the prior quarter and decreased 1% year-over-year to $704.5 million at June 30, 2024. Demand deposits remained consistent at 29% of total deposits at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 compared to 31% of total deposits at June 30, 2023 and 35% of total deposits at March 31, 2023. Average interest-bearing deposits were up slightly to $1.73 billion with an average cost of 2.21% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $1.73 billion and an average cost of 2.13% in the first quarter of 2024, and up 10% compared to $1.57 billion and an average cost of 1.56% in the second quarter of 2023. Uninsured deposits totaled $980.0 million or 40% of total deposits as of June 30, 2024 compared to $1.1 billion or 46% of total deposits as of December 31, 2022. Since interest rates began increasing in 2022, Northrim has taken a proactive, targeted approach to increase deposit rates.

    Shareholders’ equity was $247.2 million, or $44.93 book value per share, at June 30, 2024, compared to $239.3 million, or $43.52 book value per share, at March 31, 2024 and $221.3 million, or $39.45 book value per share, a year ago. Tangible book value per share* was $42.03 at June 30, 2024, compared to $40.61 at March 31, 2024, and $36.60 per share a year ago. The increase in shareholders’ equity in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2024 was largely the result of earnings of $9.0 million and an increase in the fair value of the available for sale securities portfolio, which increased $2.0 million, net of tax, which were only partially offset by dividends paid of $3.4 million. The Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock in the second quarter of 2024 and has 110,000 shares remaining under the current share repurchase program as of June 30, 2024. Tangible common equity to tangible assets* was 8.24% as of June 30, 2024, compared to 8.14% as of March 31, 2024 and 7.83% as of June 30, 2023. 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 11.68% at June 30, 2024, compared to 11.55% at March 31, 2024, and 12.13% at June 30, 2023.

    Asset Quality

    Northrim believes it has a consistent lending approach throughout economic cycles, which emphasizes appropriate loan-to-value ratios, adequate debt coverage ratios, and competent management.

    Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) net of government guarantees were $5.1 million at June 30, 2024, down from $5.4 million at March 31, 2024 and down from $5.6 million a year ago. Of the NPAs at June 30, 2024, $3.1 million, or 64%, are nonaccrual loans related to three commercial relationships.

    Net adversely classified loans were $7.1 million at June 30, 2024, as compared to $7.2 million at March 31, 2024, and $6.9 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 $26,000 in the second quarter of 2024, compared to net loan recoveries of $42,000 in the first quarter of 2024, and net loan charge-offs of $22,000 in the second quarter of 2023. Additionally, Northrim had eight loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty totaling $2.7 million, net of government guarantees in the second quarter of 2024.

    Northrim had $122.2 million, or 6% of portfolio loans, in the Healthcare sector, $121.1 million, or 6% of portfolio loans, in the Tourism sector, $93.9 million, or 5% of portfolio loans, in the Accommodations sector, $78.4 million, or 4% of portfolio loans, in the Fishing sector, $70.8 million, or 4% of portfolio loans, in the Aviation (non-tourism) sector, $63.9 million, or 3% of portfolio loans, in the Retail sector, and $52.1 million, or 3% in the Restaurants and Breweries sector as of June 30, 2024.

    Northrim estimates that $88.3 million, or approximately 5% of portfolio loans, had direct exposure to the oil and gas industry in Alaska, as of June 30, 2024, and $1.6 million of these loans are adversely classified. As of June 30, 2024, Northrim has an additional $31.7 million in unfunded commitments to companies with direct exposure to the oil and gas industry in Alaska, and no unfunded commitments on 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.

    Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of the Company, they have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under GAAP.
