GlobeNewswire - Wed Jul 30, 2:25PM CDT
First Financial Northwest, Inc. (the "Company"
(Nasdaq:FFNW), the holding company for First Savings Bank Northwest (the "Bank" , today reported net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, of $2.4 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.6 million, or $0.17 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, and net income of $16.4 million, or $0.95 per diluted share for the comparable quarter in 2013. The results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, included a $13.8 million tax benefit related to the reversal of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets ("DTA" , reflecting the Company's return to profitability and its expectation of sustainable profitability for future periods. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized a federal income tax provision of $1.3 million, compared to $1.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The primary reason for the decline in net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014, related to a decline in the Company's recapture of provision for loan losses to $100,000 for the current quarter compared to $500,000 for the March 31, 2014, quarter. The larger recapture during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, was due primarily to upgrading the risk categories of $12.3 million of loans during that quarter as a result of improvement in their risk profiles that in turn reduced the allowance for loan and lease losses ("ALLL" needed for these loans. During the second quarter, the smaller recapture was primarily related to improved property valuations on impaired loans.
