PORT ANGELES, Wash., Aug. 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Northwest Bancorp (NASDAQ: FNWB ) (“Company”), the holding company for First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles (“Bank”), announced its operating results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. The Company reported net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 of $5.1 million, or $0.46 earnings per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $4.0 million, or $0.33 earnings per basic and diluted share, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. The Company had net income of $1.1 million, or $0.10 earnings per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 48.5%, compared to net income of $2.2 million, or $0.20 earnings per basic and diluted share, for the prior quarter ended March 31, 2017, which included income from a death benefit on Bank Owned Life Insurance ("BOLI"). The current quarter's net income decreased $39,000, or 3.4%, compared to net income of $1.2 million for the same quarter in 2016.

Larry Hueth, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, "We continue to be pleased with our progress as we complete our second full year as a public company. Deposit and loan growth continue in all markets, and we are very pleased with our de novo branch performance in new markets. The continued transition to a community bank balance sheet has resulted in improved net interest income and net interest margin. Asset quality remains satisfactory with nonperforming loans to total loans of 0.3% at June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, compared to 0.5% at June 30, 2016, and provisions for loan losses taken during these periods was mainly attributable to loan growth. While I am pleased with the steady progress we have achieved, additional efforts and focus are required to continue to improve earnings and increase shareholder value."

Fourth Quarter highlights (at or for the quarter ended June 30, 2017)

  • Net income decreased $1.1 million, or 48.5%, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2017, primarily due to a death benefit on BOLI received in the prior quarter;

  • Net loans receivable increased $20.6 million, or 2.9%, as all loan categories increased;

  • Net interest income increased $415,000, or 5.1%, to $8.5 million for the quarter, mainly due to an increase in interest and fees on loans receivable;

Balance Sheet Review

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, total assets increased $6.4 million, or 0.6%, to $1.1 billion. Year over year, total assets increased $77.6 million, or 7.7%, from $1.0 billion at June 30, 2016. Investment securities decreased $15.1 million, or 5.1%, during the quarter to $280.5 million at June 30, 2017, primarily due to prepayments of available for sale securities. Investment securities decreased $43.4 million, or 13.4%, as compared to $323.9 million at June 30, 2016, primarily as a result of sales, prepayment and call activity, and normal amortization. BOLI increased $10.1 million to $28.4 million at June 30, 2017 from $18.3 million at June 30, 2016, primarily the result of the purchase of additional policies.

Net loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased $20.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017. All loan categories increased, including increases in construction and land loans of $5.2 million, one-to four-family residential loans of $5.1 million, commercial real estate loans of $3.8 million, and other consumer loans of $3.4 million. Other consumer loans increased primarily as a result of auto loans originated as part of our indirect lending program. There were $32.0 million in undisbursed construction loan commitments at June 30, 2017, of which $13.6 million was committed to one- to four-family residential construction; $9.5 million was committed to multi-family construction; $3.5 million was committed to commercial hospitality construction; $4.7 million was committed to commercial speculative construction; and $686,000 was committed to commercial real estate construction.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the total investment securities portfolio decreased $15.1 million to $280.5 million. Mortgage-backed securities represented the largest portion of the investment securities portfolio and totaled $207.1 million at June 30, 2017, a decrease during the quarter of $7.8 million, or 3.6%, from $214.9 million at March 31, 2017. Other investment securities, including mostly municipal bonds and other asset-backed securities, were $73.4 million at June 30, 2017, a decrease of $7.3 million, or 9.0%, from $80.6 million at March 31, 2017, primarily the result of prepayment activity partially offset by new purchases. Total investment securities decreased $43.4 million, or 13.4%, at June 30, 2017 compared to $323.9 million at June 30, 2016, which included a $16.8 million decrease in mortgage-backed securities and a $26.6 million decrease in other investment securities. We continue to manage the investment portfolio as a source of liquidity to fund our growth and supplement interest income.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, total liabilities increased $7.2 million, or 0.8%, to $910.0 million at June 30, 2017 from $902.8 million at March 31, 2017, mainly a result of an increase in deposits partially offset by a decrease in borrowings. During the quarter, customer deposits increased $16.0 million, or 2.0%, to $823.8 million at June 30, 2017, from $807.7 million at March 31, 2017, as we continue to grow our deposit customer base in new and historic markets. The increase in deposits was the result of an increase of $33.6 million, or 18.9%, in certificates of deposit, $1.4 million, or 0.6%, in transaction accounts, and $590,000, or 0.6%, in savings accounts, partially offset by a decrease of $19.6 million, or 6.8%, in money market accounts.

Total liabilities increased $89.6 million, or 10.9%, over the last year, which was mainly attributable to an increase in deposits of $100.5 million, or 13.9%, compared to $723.3 million at June 30, 2016. Deposit account increases were the result of our continuing efforts to expand commercial and consumer deposit relationships in our most recently opened locations in Kitsap and Whatcom County, Washington, as well as within our historic Clallam and Jefferson County, Washington locations.

Total shareholders' equity decreased $816,000, or 0.5%, to $177.7 million at June 30, 2017, from $178.5 million at March 31, 2017, primarily due to the repurchase of an additional 175,700 shares of common stock during the quarter. Total shareholders' equity decreased $12.0 million, or 6.3%, during the year due to our repurchase of shares of common stock and change in the unrealized market value of available for sale securities, partially offset by increases due to net income and the allocation of shares in our Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP").

Operating Results

Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $345,000, or 4.4%, to $8.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, from $7.9 million for the prior quarter ended March 31, 2017, due to an increase in net interest income of $415,000, partially offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses of $70,000. Net interest income after the provision for loan losses increased $1.1 million, or 15.9%, compared to $7.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, due to an increase in net interest income of $1.2 million, partially offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses of $52,000. The increase in the provision for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared to the previous quarter and the same quarter of the prior year, was primarily due to the growth of loans receivable. Total interest income increased $527,000, or 5.6%, during the quarter to $9.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $9.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, and increased $1.4 million, or 16.3%, as compared to $8.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to increases in the average balance of, and interest earned on, loans receivable.

Interest expense increased $112,000, or 8.6%, to $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, due to the increase in the average balances, and interest paid on, customer deposits as well as our increased utilization of short-term FHLB advances. Total interest expense increased $208,000, or 17.2%, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2016, mainly due to an increase in the average balances of, and interest paid on, customer deposits.

The net interest margin increased 16 basis points to 3.34% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to 3.18% for the prior quarter ended March 31, 2017, and increased 26 basis points from 3.08% for the same period in 2016. Net interest margin increased for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior quarter and the same period in 2016, primarily due to an increase in the average balance of total loans receivable earning higher yields compared to cash and investment alternatives.

Noninterest income decreased $1.0 million, or 45.5%, to $1.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared to the prior quarter ended March 31, 2017, primarily due to income in the prior quarter from a death benefit received from BOLI of $768,000 and a $240,000 decline in the net gain on sale of loans as we sold fewer loans in the most recent quarter. Noninterest income decreased $786,000, or 39.6%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared to $2.0 million for the same quarter in 2016, primarily due to a gain on the sale of securities of $711,000 recorded in the same quarter last year as we sold investment securities at gains to offset $414,000 in prepayment penalties on the early repayment of FHLB advances.

Noninterest expense increased $441,000, or 5.9%, to $7.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared to $7.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefits expense of $223,000. Noninterest expense increased $502,000, or 6.8%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared to $7.4 million for the same quarter in 2016, primarily due to an increase of $856,000 in compensation and benefits. Compensation and benefits continued to increase compared to the previous quarter and the same quarter one year prior as we added staff to manage our operations and growth, rewarded our staff and management for performance through incentive programs and sales commissions, and have implemented retention tools such as our stock awards program.

Capital Ratios and Credit Quality

The Company and the Bank continue to maintain capital levels in excess of applicable regulatory requirements and the Bank was categorized as "well-capitalized" at June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had Tier 1 Leverage-Based Capital, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, and Total Risk-Based Capital ratios of 16.5%, 24.4%, 24.4%, and 25.6%, respectively.

Credit quality remains strong with nonperforming loans decreasing $434,000, or 18.5%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2017, to $1.9 million at June 30, 2017 from $2.3 million at March 31, 2017, mainly attributable to a decrease in nonperforming one- to four-family residential loans of $442,000. Nonperforming loans to total gross loans was 0.3% at both June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017 and was 0.5% at June 30, 2016. Improvements in asset quality during the year are reflected by an increase in the percentage of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans to 445.1% at June 30, 2017 from 354.5% at March 31, 2017, and 222.3% at June 30, 2016.
