Northrim BanCorp Earns $13.2 million, or $1.88 per Diluted Share, in 2017 Gain from Sale of Subsidiary, Revaluation of Deferred Tax Assets, and Other Non-Operating Items Impact Profits
ANCHORAGE, Ala., Jan. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:NRIM) (“Northrim” or the “Company”) today reported profits for both the fourth quarter and full year in 2017. Net income attributable to the Company (“net income”) was $13.2 million, or $1.88 per diluted share, in 2017, compared to $14.4 million, or $2.06 per diluted share, in 2016. In the fourth quarter of 2017, Northrim’s net income was $214,000, or $0.03 per diluted share compared to $5.5 million, of $0.79 per diluted share in the preceding quarter and $3.6 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2016. Net income was reduced by $0.16 per share in 2017 and by $0.41 per share in 2016 due to a number of one-time or non-operating items, detailed in the table below.
“We recorded additional tax expense of $2.7 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, due to the downward revision to our net deferred tax asset (“DTA”) value in the fourth quarter of 2017 to comply with the recently enacted federal tax legislation,” said Joe Schierhorn, President and CEO. “Going forward, we expect we will recoup this write-down in approximately one year, reflecting the lower tax rates effective in 2018. We believe our effective tax rate will decline to between 19% and 20% from 32% in 2017 (excluding the fourth quarter 2017 DTA charge), and that earnings will increase between 15% and 16% based on the 21% top tax rate applicable to earnings in 2018 and beyond.”
Several items impacted the quarterly and full year comparisons including:
- The revaluation of the DTA reduced net income by $2.7 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2017.
- The sale of Northrim’s interest in Northrim Benefits Group (NBG) contributed $4.4 million pretax and $2.6 million after tax, or $0.38 per diluted share, to both third quarter and full year 2017 net income. NBG contributed revenues of $2.5 million in 2017, $609,000 in the third quarter of 2017, and $871,000 in the fourth quarter of 2016.
- There was no fourth quarter 2017 provision for loan losses compared to $2.5 million recorded in the third quarter of 2017 and $743,000 in the fourth quarter a year ago. In 2017, the provision for loan losses was $3.2 million compared to $2.3 million in 2016. The increase in the provision for loan losses in 2017 is the result of the increase in nonperforming loans and an increase in the specific allowance for impaired loans of $352,000 in 2017.
- The conversion to a new core banking system was successfully completed in May of 2017. The conversion added one-time costs of $943,000, or $0.14 per diluted share in 2017 and $179,000, or $0.03 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2017.
- The third quarter of 2016 includes a non-cash, one-time accounting correction which resulted in an increase in expenses, net of tax, of $1.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share due to a change in accounting treatment for the earn-out payments associated with the Company’s 2014 acquisition of Residential Mortgage, LLC (“RML”).
- In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company wrote down the carrying value of its minority ownership interest in another mortgage origination business owned by RML by $686,000, or $404,000 after tax, or $0.06 per diluted share.

Other highlights for the fourth quarter and full year in 2017 include the following:
- The allowance for loan losses was $21.5 million at December 31, 2017, which equates to 100% of total nonperforming loans at December 31, 2017.
- The Company repurchased 58,341 shares of its common stock in the third quarter of 2017 at an average price of $27.56, leaving 168,901 shares available under the previously announced repurchase authorization.
- Northrim redeemed $8.0 million in junior subordinated debt held at Northrim Capital Trust 1. This liability bore interest at a floating rate of 90-day LIBOR plus 3.15%, or 4.33% at the time it was redeemed, and had a final maturity of May 15, 2033. In 2016, total interest expense on this debt was $310,000. Interest expense on this debt in 2017 through the date of redemption on August 15, 2017 was $212,000. This redemption decreased Tier 1 Capital to Risk Adjusted Assets and Total Capital to Risk Adjusted Assets by 62 basis points each.
- An interest rate swap executed in September 2017 effectively converts the floating rate of interest on the remaining $10.0 million in outstanding junior subordinated debt from 90-day LIBOR plus 1.37%, or 2.96% as of December 31, 2017, to a fixed rate of 3.72% through the junior subordinated debt’s final maturity date of March 15, 2036.
“In addition to increasing cash dividends to shareholders, we plan to invest future tax savings in infrastructure, enhanced employee benefits, and additions to our branch network in 2018,” Schierhorn said. “We are also introducing new products and services to better meet the needs of our customers, by leveraging the improved features of our new core operating system. And, we are expanding our expertise in several areas by hiring team members with experience in lending, technology, and financial management. While the economic recession in Alaska continues to reduce employment statewide, the rate of job losses is expected to be slower in 2018 than it was in either 2017 or 2016. While, growth of loans and deposits remains a challenge, we believe that these planned investments will position us to grow through increased market share.”

- Total revenue, which includes net interest income plus other operating income, was $22.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, compared to $28.8 million in the third quarter of 2017, and $24.3 million in the same period a year ago. For the full year in 2017, total revenues were $98.2 million compared to $99.6 million in 2016.
• Community Banking contributed 75% to total revenues and 92% to net income in 2017.
• Home Mortgage Lending contributed 25% to total revenues and 8% of net income in 2017. - Net interest income in the fourth quarter of 2017 increased 6% to $14.7 million as compared to $13.9 million in the year ago quarter, mainly as a result of a change in the mix of assets, and was down 2% from $14.9 million in the preceding quarter due to a change in the mix of assets and a decline in average interest-earning assets.
- Both net interest margin (“NIM”) at 4.25% and net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis (“NIMTE”)* at 4.31% increased in the fourth quarter of 2017, compared to 4.01% and 4.07%, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2016, primarily due to an improved mix of assets in the current quarter. The Company’s NIMTE* remains above peer averages1.
- Northrim paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per share in December 2017, up from the $0.20 per share dividend paid in December 2016. The dividend provides an annual yield of approximately 2.6% at current market share prices.
- Book value per share increased 3.7% to $28.06 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2017 from $27.07 a year ago, while tangible book value per share* increased 4.0% to $25.70 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2017 from $24.70 a year ago.
- At year end, total non-performing assets, net of government guarantees increased to $28.7 million, or 1.89% of assets, compared to $26.2 million, or 1.72% of assets, at September 30, 2017 and $19.3 million, or 1.27% of assets a year ago. Total adversely classified loans remained consistent at $33.8 million at year end 2017, compared to $33.8 million at September 30, 2017 and decreased slightly from $35.6 million a year ago.
- Following net charge-offs of $1.4 million in 2017, the allowance for loan losses to portfolio loans grew to 2.25% at year end, compared to 2.02% a year ago.
- Northrim remains well-capitalized with Tier 1 Capital to Risk Adjusted Assets of 14.65%, total shareholders’ equity to total assets of 12.69%, and tangible common equity to tangible assets* of 11.75% at December 31, 2017.
1As of September 30, 2017, the SNL US Bank Index tracked 150 banks with assets between $1 billion and $5 billion with averages for the following ratios: NIM (tax equivalent) 3.69%, loan loss reserves to gross loans of 0.95%, return on average assets (ROAA) 1.01%, and return on average equity (ROAE) 9.31%.
Alaska Economic Update
(Note: sources for information included in this section are included on page 13.)
“Alaska is expected to lose jobs again in 2018, although the losses appear to be tapering. Total employment is forecasted to decline by 0.5% in 2018 (-1,800 jobs) after falling 1.1% in 2017 and 1.9% in 2016,” said Karinne Wiebold of the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development. “Losses were deepest in 2016 when the state’s economy shed 6,300 jobs, primarily in oil and gas and in state government. Then in 2017, Alaska lost an estimated 3,600 jobs. If it hadn’t been for strong health care growth, the overall job loss would have been deeper. If employment follows the forecasted pattern this year, that would put Alaska’s total loss from 2015 through 2018 at 11,700 jobs (-3.5 %).”
Preliminary seasonally adjusted unemployment in December was 7.3% compared to 4.1% for the United States. Not seasonally adjusted unemployment in Alaska in December was also 7.3%, up from 7.1% in November compared to 3.9% for the nation, placing Alaska at 50th in the country for both unemployment and job growth. However, Alaska’s ranking rose to 8th on per capita personal income, and also improved to 8th for average hourly earnings in the leisure and hospitality sectors in November 2017.
Throughput in the Trans Alaska Pipeline System increased in 2017, marking the second straight year-over-year increase in volume of oil transported following thirteen years of declining volume. “More oil flowing through TAPS means a safer, more efficient and more sustainable pipeline system,” said Tom Barrett, Alyeska President. “Increased throughput also signals a stronger economy for Alaska and more opportunities for Alaskans.”
“This winter will be the biggest exploration drilling program that ConocoPhillips, formerly Alaska’s top explorer, has conducted on the North Slope since 2002,” said Joe Marushack, ConocoPhillips Alaska President.
“The increase in drilling activity this winter is a good sign for the long-term health of the Alaska economy, bringing high-paying jobs and new tax revenues for the state and local communities,” said Schierhorn.

Review of Income Statement
Consolidated Income Statement
In the fourth quarter of 2017, Northrim generated return on average assets (“ROAA”) of 0.06% and a return on average equity (“ROAE”) of 0.43%, compared to 0.94% and 7.96%, respectively in the fourth quarter of 2016. Excluding the one-time and other non-operating items detailed above, ROAA* was 0.83% and ROAE* was 6.40% in the fourth quarter of 2017. These results were below the average 1.01% ROAA and the 9.31% ROAE posted by the 150 banks that make up the SNL U.S. Bank Index with assets between $1 billion and $5 billion as of September 30, 2017. NIM and NIMTE* for the fourth quarter of 2017 were 4.25% and 4.31%, respectively, compared to 3.69% NIMTE* for the index peers1.
For the full year in 2017, ROAA was 0.87% and ROAE was 6.81%, compared to 0.96% and 7.93%, respectively, for 2016. Excluding the one-time and other non-operating items detailed above, ROAA* was 0.94% and ROAE* was 7.38% for 2017 compared to 1.14% and 9.48%, respectively, in 2016. The decline in these ratios is primarily due to lower net income from the Home Mortgage Lending segment and the increase in the provision for loan losses.
Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin
Net interest income grew 6% to $14.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to $13.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 and was down 2% from $14.9 million in the third quarter of 2017. For the full year in 2017, net interest income increased 2% to $57.7 million from $56.4 million in 2016.
Higher total interest income, coupled with lower total interest expense, contributed to the increases in net interest income and NIMTE* in the fourth quarter and for the full year compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to a higher yield on interest-earning assets. Net interest income and NIMTE* declined in the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2017 primarily due to lower average earning-asset balances and a less favorable mix. The cost of funds declined in the fourth quarter compared to the preceding quarter and compared to the same quarter last year, and also declined for the full year 2017 compared to 2016.
NIMTE* was 4.31% in the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to 4.34% in the preceding quarter and 4.07% from the same quarter a year ago. For 2017, NIMTE* improved to 4.28% from 4.20% in 2016. The following table summarizes the components of these changes:
| 4Q17 vs. 3Q17 | 4Q17 vs. 4Q16 | |||
| Nonaccrual interest adjustments | 0.01 | % | 0.04 | % |
| Interest rates and loan fees | 0.02 | % | 0.19 | % |
| Volume and mix of interest-earning assets | (0.06 | )% | 0.01 | % |
| Change in NIMTE* | (0.03 | )% | 0.24 | % |
| YTD17 vs.YTD16 | ||
| Nonaccrual interest adjustments | — | % |
| Interest rates and loan fees | 0.08 | % |
| Volume and mix of interest-earning assets | — | % |
| Change in NIMTE* | 0.08 | % |
“The repayment of one of our higher-cost floating rate liabilities, completed in August of this year, is expected to reduce interest expense going forward by at least $300,000 per year, and the impact is higher in the future if interest rates continue to rise,” said Jed Ballard, Chief Financial Officer. “We believe the elimination of this interest expense will help to sustain or improve NIM in the coming quarters.”
“We expect NIM will continue to increase in 2018 to 4.40% and NIMTE* to increase to approximately 4.45% in 2018, as we anticipate that interest rates will continue to rise, and that our earning assets will continue to reprice higher throughout the year. Our investment portfolio has an average duration of 1.9 years, with approximately $160 million in securities either maturing or repricing in 2018,” Ballard continued.
Provision for Loan Losses
There was no provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2017 primarily due to decreases in portfolio loans, nonperforming loans, and the portion of the allowance specific to impaired loans, which decreased by $548,000 in the third quarter. The decrease in the reserve on impaired loans is the result of principal pay downs on several impaired loans, and the receipt of additional collateral for one impaired loan.
For the full year in 2017, the provision for loan losses increased to $3.2 million as a result of an increase in nonperforming loans, net of government guarantees, during the year and a $350,000 increase in the portion of the allowance specific to impaired loans compared to December 31, 2016.
The allowance for loan losses is 100% of nonperforming loans, net of government guarantees, at December 31, 2017.
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 and wealth management. In August 2017, Northrim sold its interest in NBG recognizing a gain of $4.4 million, or $2.6 million net of tax, which represents approximately 7 times 2016 net profits from NBG. In addition, revenues from two months prior to the sale contributed $609,000 to third quarter 2017 revenues. This income stream will not recur in future quarters. These complementary business activities, including home mortgage lending and other noninterest income, contributed $8.0 million, or 35% of total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2017, as compared to $13.9 million, or 48% of revenues in the third quarter of 2017 and $10.4 million, or 43% of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2016.
For 2017, other operating income decreased 6% to $40.5 million from $43.3 million in 2016. The decrease in other operating income for 2017 compared to a year ago is primarily due to a decline in mortgage banking income in 2017, partially offset by the gain on sale from NBG.
Other Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $18.3 million in the fourth quarter 2017, compared to $17.7 million in the third quarter of 2017 and $18.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. Items impacting the comparative periods include a $686,000 write down of the carrying value the Company’s minority ownership interest in another mortgage origination business owned by RML, which is included in other operating expense in the fourth quarter of 2017, a $563,000 write down on one land development project included in other real estate owned (“OREO”) in the fourth quarter of 2017, and the changes in compensation expense related to the acquisition of RML that fluctuate with expected earnings from RML. In addition, $179,000 of the one-time costs related to the core conversion were recorded in the third quarter of 2017.
Operating expenses for 2017 decreased 7% to $71.2 million, from $76.3 million for 2016, primarily due to the accounting adjustment in 2016 related to the acquisition of RML and a decrease in expenses in the home mortgage lending segment, net of the write down on the carrying value of the equity method investment noted above due to lower variable costs on lower production volume. These decreases were only partially offset by the OREO valuation adjustment noted above and the $943,000 in one-time costs related to the core conversion.
Community Banking
“We believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on opportunities in the greater Alaska market despite the slowdown in the economy, which has impacted growth in both our loan and deposit portfolios,” said Schierhorn. “With the continuing commitments to the development of North Slope oil reserves, we believe that our economy will recover from the recessionary pressures currently impacting our market. Net interest income in the Community Banking segment increased 6% in the fourth quarter compared to the same quarter in 2016, demonstrating the strength of our core franchise.”
Net income generated in the Community Banking segment increased to $10.2 million in 2017 from $9.9 million in 2016, primarily due to the gain on the sale of NBG in 2017 and the accounting correction recorded in 2016, net of the increase in the provision for loan losses and the one-time costs associated with the core conversion, as well as the write down of net deferred tax assets resulting from the recently enacted federal tax legislation.
The following table provides highlights of the Community Banking segment of Northrim, and detail significant one-time and other non-operating items impacting the periods presented:

Home Mortgage Lending
“The mortgage market that generated very strong revenues in the past few years has cooled noticeably this year for all originators. Northrim’s Home Mortgage Lending segment in 2017 was no exception, with loans funded down 18% in the quarter and 22% for the year which was primarily the result of the general slowing of the Alaska economy, rising interest rates and normal market cycles,” said Ballard. “Despite this decline, the housing market in Alaska remains stable due to balanced supply and demand for homes in most price ranges, and we expect the Home Mortgage Lending segment to remain profitable despite the slowdown.
Ballard continued, “We are continuing to build our mortgage servicing business, which was initiated in the fourth quarter of 2015 to service loans for the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation. Northrim now services 1,630 loans in its $406.3 million home mortgage servicing portfolio, which is a 49% increase from the $272.4 million serviced a year ago.” Mortgage servicing contributed $1.5 million to fourth quarter of 2017 revenues up from $701,000 in the third quarter of 2017 and $1.2 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. Total mortgage servicing income fluctuates based on the amount of mortgage servicing rights originated during the period, and also based on changes in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights, which are driven by interest rate volatility and fluctuations in estimated prepayment speeds, which are based on industry averages.
Lastly, the $686,000 pre-tax write down of the carrying value of the Company’s minority ownership interest in another mortgage origination business owned by RML discussed above is recorded in the Home Mortgage Lending segment.
The following table provides highlights of the Home Mortgage Lending segment of Northrim:

Balance Sheet Review
Northrim’s assets were $1.52 billion at December 31, 2017, virtually unchanged from both preceding and year ago quarters. Average interest earnings assets were also relatively unchanged in the quarter and full year periods.
Average investment securities increased 1% in the fourth quarter of 2017 from the preceding quarter and decreased 7% from the fourth quarter a year ago. The investment portfolio generated an average net tax equivalent yield of 1.77% for the fourth quarter of 2017. The average estimated duration of the investment portfolio was 1.9 years, at December 31, 2017.
Average loans held for sale decreased 25% to $43.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to the preceding quarter and decreased 20% from the same quarter a year ago, primarily reflecting the seasonality of the mortgage business and the reduced demand for home loans in the Alaska marketplace.
Portfolio loans were down to $955.7 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to both the preceding and year ago quarters. Average portfolio loans in the fourth quarter of 2017 were $980.4 million, up slightly from a year ago and down 2.3% from the preceding quarter. Seasonality, the slowing Alaska economy, and some larger loan payoffs contributed to moderate declines in all loan categories for the quarter and the year.
Alaskans account for substantially all of Northrim’s deposit base, which is primarily made up of low-cost transaction accounts. Balances in transaction accounts at December 31, 2017, represented 92% of total deposits. At December 31, 2017, total deposits were $1.26 billion, unchanged from the immediate prior quarter and down slightly from $1.27 billion from a year ago.
Average total deposits were stable in both the fourth quarter and full year in 2017 compared to the respective periods in 2016.
Shareholders’ equity increased 3% to $192.8 million, or $28.06 per share, at December 31, 2017, compared to $186.7 million, or $27.07 per share, a year ago. Tangible book value per share* was $25.70 at December 31, 2017, compared to $24.70 per share a year ago. Northrim continues to maintain capital levels in excess of the requirements to be categorized as “well-capitalized” under the Basel III and Dodd Frank regulatory standards with Tier 1 Capital to Risk Adjusted Assets of 14.65% at December 31, 2017. “The repayment of the $8 million in junior subordinated debt in August brought our capital ratios down, which is expected to improve profitability without reducing liquidity significantly,” said Schierhorn.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets, net of government guarantees, increased to $28.7 million at December 31, 2017, compared to $26.2 million at the end of the preceding quarter due to a $4.4 million addition to OREO, net of government guarantees, from a previously disclosed single lending relationship that was previously accruing but adversely classified at the end of the third quarter of 2017. The $4.4 million that was previously adversely classified but still accruing interest was categorized in this manner because the real estate loan was collateralized and payments of principal and interest were covered by rental income being generated from the property. This increase in OREO was partially offset by principal paydowns on nonaccrual loans, net of government guarantees, and the $563,000 writedown on one OREO property discussed above.
Nonperforming assets, net of government guarantees increased to $28.7 million at December 31, 2017, compared to $19.3 million a year ago, due to one $8.3 million commercial business and one commercial relationships for $2.9 million, in the medical industry. These relationships, along with one other $7.7 million commercial relationship in the medical industry, represent 88% of total nonperforming loans, net of government guarantees, as of December 31, 2017. The additions to nonperforming assets in 2017 were partially offset by pay downs on nonaccrual loans and the sale of several OREO properties totaling $2.5 million in 2017 for a net gain on sales of $371,000.
Adversely classified loans, net of government guarantees, were $33.8 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2017 as compared to $33.8 million at the end of the third quarter of 2017 and $35.6 million one year ago. Net charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2017 were minimal and $1.4 million for the full year. “None of these charge-offs were related directly to the oil sector,” said Ballard.
The following table details loan charge-offs, by industry:

Performing restructured loans that were not included in nonaccrual loans at the end of the fourth quarter of 2017 were $7.7 million, unchanged from the preceding quarter and up from $6.1 million a year ago. The increase in the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to the year ago quarter is primarily due to the addition of one commercial loan. 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. 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.
Adversely classified loans are loans that Northrim has classified as substandard, doubtful, and loss, net of government guarantees. As of December 31, 2017, $25.2 million, or 74% of adversely classified loans net of government guarantees are attributable to five relationships in the following sectors; two commercial businesses, two medical businesses, and one oilfield services commercial business.
Northrim estimates that $70.8 million, or approximately 7% of portfolio loans as of December 31, 2017, had direct exposure to the oil and gas industry in Alaska, and $4.2 million of these loans are adversely classified. Northrim has an additional $53.5 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. “We continue to have no loans to oil producers or exploration companies,” added Ballard. “We define direct exposure to the oil and gas sector as loans to borrowers that provide oilfield services and other companies that we have 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.”
