    CEO Commentary

    "We made good progress in the first quarter, continuing to build First Fed into a leading, fintech-enabled community bank," said Matthew P. Deines, President and CEO of First Northwest Bancorp. "We announced a strategic partnership with Splash Financial to meet the financial needs of consumers across the United States. We expanded the Quin Ventures product offering in response to marketplace demand. And we established First Fed Fintech Partners, known as F3P, to manage our growing portfolio of fintech initiatives."

    "Our commercial bank is well-positioned to continue to harvest the returns on the investments we have made over the last two years," Deines added. "Operating expenses were stable from the last quarter, and we believe we will be able to produce operating leverage in a rising rate environment."

    The Board of Directors of First Northwest Bancorp declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per common share. The dividend will be payable on May 27, 2022, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 13, 2022.

    Balance Sheet Review

    Total assets increased $23.2 million, or 1.2%, to $1.94 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $1.92 billion at December 31, 2021, and increased $208.0 million, or 12.0%, compared to $1.74 billion at March 31, 2021.

    Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $43.5 million, or 34.5%, to $82.5 million as of March 31, 2022, compared to $126.0 million as of December 31, 2021. Excess cash was deployed into the investment and loan portfolios as First Fed Bank continued to build earning assets.

    Investment securities increased $33.5 million, or 9.7%, to $377.7 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $344.2 million three months earlier, and decreased $15.8 million compared to $393.5 million at March 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022, municipal bonds totaled $110.2 million and comprised the largest portion of the investment portfolio at 29.2%. The estimated average life of the total investment securities portfolio was approximately 7.0 years, compared to 5.7 years in the prior quarter and 7.5 years in the first quarter of 2021.

    Net loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased $20.3 million, or 1.5%, to $1.37 billion at March 31, 2022, from $1.35 billion at December 31, 2021, and increased $214.2 million, or 18.5%, from $1.16 billion a year ago. Multi-family loans increased $31.3 million during the current quarter as $16.6 million of acquisition-renovation construction and $13.6 million of commercial construction loans transitioned into amortizing loans. Consumer loans increased $16.0 million from the purchase of pool manufactured home loans, $5.9 million in individual manufactured home loan purchases, and a net increase in auto loans of $2.4 million. Construction loans decreased as projects were completed and transitioned to amortizing loans, exceeding disbursements on new and existing projects. Commercial business loans decreased $25.3 million during the quarter, mainly as the result of a decrease in Northpointe Mortgage Participation Program loans of $26.3 million and Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans paid off during the quarter of $7.3 million. Our participation in the Northpointe program is based on current funding needs of the program. Given the slowdown in the mortgage market, as well as recent financing activities by Northpointe, we do not anticipate significant lending activity in the near term.

    The Company originated $13.3 million in residential mortgages during the first quarter and sold $10.3 million, with an average gross margin on sale of mortgage loans of approximately 2.69%. This production compares to residential mortgage originations of $26.6 million in the preceding quarter with sales of $25.1 million, with an average gross margin of 2.64%. Rising mortgage loan rates and a lack of single family home inventory have resulted in a decline in mortgage loan production. New single-family residence construction loan commitments totaled $23.6 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $21.8 million in the preceding quarter.

    Prepaid expenses and other assets increased $6.7 million to $32.5 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $25.7 million at December 31, 2021, and increased $15.4 million compared to $17.1 million a year ago. The increase in the current quarter is mainly due to the increase in deferred tax assets resulting from fair market value decrease of the investment portfolio along with an historic tax credit investment. In addition to the changes recorded during the current quarter, the increase from a year ago also reflects an increase in the operating lease right-of-use asset related to expansion during the prior twelve months and a low income housing tax credit investment made in June 2021.

    Total deposits decreased $31.2 million, to $1.55 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $1.58 billion at December 31, 2021, and increased $114.6 million, or 8.0%, compared to $1.43 billion a year ago. We experienced significant outflow from public and tribal deposit accounts during the quarter as some public entities have been investing in treasury bonds with higher current yields compared to insured deposits. Increases in consumer demand deposit account balances of $9.4 million were offset by a decrease in business demand account balances of $12.1 million and a decrease in public and tribal demand account balances of $7.0 million during the current quarter. Increases in consumer money market deposit account balances of $10.4 million were offset by decreases in public and tribal money market account balances of $26.5 million during the current quarter. The $8.2 million decrease in certificate of deposits was attributable to consumer CDs that matured during the quarter.

    Demand deposits increased 14.0% compared to a year ago to $531.2 million at March 31, 2022, and represented 34.3% of total deposits; money market accounts increased 20.6% compared to a year ago to $581.8 million, and represented 37.5% of total deposits; savings accounts increased 6.0% compared to a year ago to $197.4 million at March 31, 2022, and represented 12.7% of total deposits; and certificates of deposit decreased 16.8% compared to a year ago to $239.0 million at quarter-end, and represented 15.4% of total deposits.

    The total cost of deposits was 0.19% for the first quarter of 2022 compared to 0.20% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and improved from 0.27% for the first quarter of 2021.

    Total shareholders’ equity decreased to $177.8 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $190.5 million three months earlier, and decreased from $182.1 million a year earlier, due to a $15.4 million decline in the value of the investment securities portfolio. Fair values have seen across the board declines as sustained inflationary pressures have driven market expectations of significant rate increases by the Federal Reserve Bank in 2022. Tangible book value per common share1 was $17.56 at March 31, 2022, compared to $18.89 at December 31, 2021, and $17.86 at March 31, 2021; while book value per common share was $17.77 at March 31, 2022, compared to $19.10 at December 31, 2021, and $17.86 at March 31, 2021. The current quarter decline in investment securities fair market value had an -8.8% impact on tangible book value. No shares of common stock were repurchased under the October 2020 Plan during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

    Income Statement Results

    In the first quarter of 2022, the Company generated a return on average assets ("ROAA") of 0.60%, and a return on average equity ("ROAE") of 6.01%, compared to 1.09% and 10.72%, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2021, and 0.76% and 6.70%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2021.

    Total interest income decreased $308,000 to $16.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $17.2 million in the previous quarter, and increased $2.3 million from $14.6 million in the first quarter of 2021. Interest and fees on loans decreased during the quarter due to less deferred fee income recognized on PPP loans, lower prepayment penalties, and less fee income recognized on loans sold. Total interest expense was $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2022 and fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $1.2 million in the first quarter a year ago. The increase was a result of a higher volume of interest-costing liabilities, subordinated debt issued in mid-March 2021 and additional FHLB borrowings in the current quarter, offset by a decrease in interest paid on certificates of deposit.

    Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, for the first quarter decreased 2.1% to $15.5 million, compared to $15.8 million for the preceding quarter, and increased 14.9% from the first quarter a year ago.

    The positive impact of PPP loan forgiveness on interest income is declining as the majority of these loans have been forgiven. As of March 31, 2022, we received SBA proceeds on forgiven loans totaling $60.0 million. Approximately $231,000 of the income recognized during the first quarter of 2022 was related to deferred fees associated with PPP loan payoffs, compared to $385,000 in the fourth quarter of 2021. At March 31, 2022, there was approximately $186,000 of PPP loan fee income remaining to be recognized in income.

    The Company recorded no loan loss provision during the first quarter of 2022. This compares to a negative provision for loan losses of $150,000 for the preceding quarter, and a provision for loan losses of $500,000 for the first quarter of 2021. The provision reflects improvement in economic conditions, less uncertainty regarding the impact of COVID-19, and stable credit quality metrics compared to the prior year.

    The net interest margin decreased 5 basis points to 3.53% for the first quarter of 2022, from 3.58% the prior quarter, and increased 5 basis points over the first quarter of 2021 of 3.48%. The overall impact to the net interest margin related to PPP loan payoffs was 3 basis points for the current quarter compared to 7 basis points in the prior quarter. Increases over the prior year are primarily due to an improvement in our earning asset mix and loan fee income recognized during 2022 from PPP loan payoffs.

    The yield on earning assets decreased 4 basis points to 3.86% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 3.90% for the fourth quarter of 2021, and increased 8 basis points from 3.78% for the first quarter of 2021. The year-over-year increase was due to higher yields on the investment portfolio, coupled with higher average loan balances. The yield on the loan portfolio decreased to 4.43% for the first quarter of 2022, from 4.49% for the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to lower fee income and deferred fee income recognition from commercial loan payoffs during the current quarter. 

    The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 1 basis point to 0.43% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 0.42% for the fourth quarter of 2021, and increased 3 basis points from 0.40% for the first quarter of 2021. The total cost of funds was 0.34% for both the current and prior quarters, and increased 2 basis points from 0.32% for the first quarter of 2021. The average balance and cost of funds on borrowings increased $63.3 million and 85 basis points, respectively, from the prior year mainly due to the subordinated debt issued in mid-March 2021. The lower-cost average deposit account balances grew $174.3 million and the related cost of deposits decreased 8 basis points from the prior year.

    ____________
    1 See reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures later in this release.

    Noninterest income decreased 49.7% to $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2022 from $4.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, and increased 11.1% compared to $2.7 million for the first quarter a year ago. The first quarter of 2022 included $432,000 of servicing fee income from sold loans compared to $88,000 in the preceding quarter, which was positively impacted by an accounting change to report servicing rights on sold loans at fair value, and $30,000 in the first quarter a year ago. Decreases for the quarter were mainly the result of no gain on sale of commercial loans and related servicing right recognition, compared to $1.2 million in the prior quarter; no gain on sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans, compared to $360,000 in the prior quarter; swap program participation fees of $149,000, compared to $236,000 in the prior quarter; and a fair market valuation decrease of $67,000 on our investment in Canapi Ventures Fund LP, compared to a gain of $857,000 in the prior quarter.

    Noninterest expense totaled $14.8 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $14.7 million for the preceding quarter and $12.1 million for the first quarter a year ago. The current quarter increase is due to additional advertising and professional fees, partially offset by lower compensation expense, data processing costs, and FDIC insurance premiums. The increase over the first quarter of 2021 reflects higher compensation expense, including salaries, production-related commissions, incentives and benefits related to additional employees, as well as costs associated with expanding our footprint with two new locations; technology enhancements for digital and mobile banking products; and higher FDIC insurance premiums.

    The provision for income tax decreased to $554,000 for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $473,000 for the first quarter of 2021, reflecting changes in pre-tax income. Additionally, a tax accrual true-up of $178,000 was recorded in the first quarter of 2021.

    Capital Ratios and Credit Quality

    Capital levels for both the Company and its operating bank, First Fed, remain in excess of applicable regulatory requirements and the Bank was categorized as "well-capitalized" at March 31, 2022. Common Equity Tier 1 and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratios at March 31, 2022 were 13.1% and 14.1%, respectively.

    Nonperforming loans were $1.2 million at March 31, 2022, a decrease of $148,000 from December 31, 2021, related to brokered and purchased auto loans. The percentage of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans increased to 1227% at March 31, 2022, from 1095% at December 31, 2021, and increased from 668% at March 31, 2021. Classified loans increased $1.7 million during the first quarter to $14.3 million at March 31, 2022, due to a single-family residence construction loan relationship. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.10% at March 31, 2022, a decrease from 1.11% reported for the prior quarter and from 1.22% reported one year earlier.

Our actual results, performance, or achievements may differ materially from those suggested, expressed, or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of a wide variety or range of factors including, but not limited to: increased competitive pressures; changes in the interest rate environment; the credit risks of lending activities; changes in general economic conditions and conditions within the securities markets; legislative and regulatory changes; and other factors described in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")-which are available on our website at www.ourfirstfed.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

    Any of the forward-looking statements that we make in this Press Release and in the other public statements we make may turn out to be incorrect because of the inaccurate assumptions we might make, because of the factors illustrated above or because of other factors that we cannot foresee. Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by or on our behalf and the Company's operating and stock price performance may be negatively affected. Therefore, these factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We do not undertake and specifically disclaim any obligation to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements. These risks could cause our actual results for 2022 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements by, or on behalf of, us and could negatively affect the Company’s operations and stock price performance.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures Footnote

    (1) We believe these non-GAAP metrics provide an important measure with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength. In addition, we believe that use of tangible equity and tangible assets improves the comparability to other institutions that have not engaged in acquisitions that resulted in recorded goodwill and other intangibles.
