RENTON, Wash., July 23, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Financial Northwest, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq:FFNW), the holding company for First Savings Bank Northwest ("Bank"), today reported a net loss for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 of $28.0 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $2.2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the following items contributed to our net loss:
* We increased the provision for loan losses by $18.3 million;
* Goodwill impairment totaling $14.2 million was written-off;
* The remaining book value of $983,000 related to the building that
housed our lending division was expensed, as a new facility is
being built;
* A special assessment was levied on all financial institutions for
deposit insurance by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC"), our portion totaled $559,000; and
* We incurred an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") loss on the
AMF Ultra Short Mortgage Fund totaling $152,000.
"The second quarter results reflect the continued deteriorating economic conditions in the Pacific Northwest, which have resulted in unprecedented and continued declines in employment and real estate valuations for the region. This has negatively affected nearly all home builders, developers and businesses related to the real estate industry. Despite this challenging market, we are confident that we have the necessary tools to continue to build our banking franchise including strong capital, solid core earnings and the commitment to reduce the level of our nonperforming assets," stated Mr. Victor Karpiak, Chairman, President and CEO of First Financial Northwest, Inc. The Bank's Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based and Total risk-based capital ratios at June 30, 2009 were 13.82%, 21.42% and 22.70%, respectively, which represents $113.1 million, $127.6 million and $105.1 million, respectively, of capital in excess of the amount required to be "well capitalized" for regulatory purposes.
Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 decreased to $7.0 million, as compared to $8.1 million for the same period in 2008. Total interest income for the second quarter of 2009 decreased $1.4 million, or 8.0%, to $15.7 million from $17.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. This decline was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $297,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from the comparable quarter in 2008.
The decline in interest income was primarily the result of $2.2 million in foregone interest (interest that has not been accrued on loans classified as nonperforming) during the second quarter of 2009 and to a lesser extent the general decline in market interest rates. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in interest income due to the rise in average interest-earning assets during the quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2008. Interest earned on federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits totaled $20,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $200,000 from the same quarter in 2008. At the same time, our liquidity in the form of cash, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits increased to $55.4 million at June 30, 2009 from $9.4 million at June 30, 2008. In the second quarter of 2008, the federal funds rate was 2.00% as compared to the federal funds rate of between 0% and 0.25% in the second quarter of 2009 contributing to a decrease in our interest income. Our three-month average interest-earning assets at June 30, 2009 increased $96.5 million compared to the same period in 2008. Our average net loan balance increased $95.7 million to $1.0 billion and the average balance of federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits increased $9.6 million to $50.7 million, offset by a decrease in average investments available for sale of $11.4 million as compared to the second quarter of last year. The yield on these average assets declined to 5.04% during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from 5.94% during the same quarter in 2008. The yield on net loans receivable declined to 5.42% from 6.37%, a decrease of 95 basis points of which 85 basis points related to foregone interest with the balance of the decrease attributable to the general decline in interest rates. The yield on federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits decreased 198 basis points to 0.16% during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, from 2.14% for the same period in 2008, reflecting the same general decline in interest rates.
Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $15.2 million compared to $16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Total interest income for the first six months of 2009 and 2008 was $32.5 million and $34.4 million, respectively. Our foregone interest for the six months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $3.3 million as compared to $641,000 for the same period in 2008. For the first half of 2009, average interest-earning assets increased $81.2 million with an average yield of 5.32% compared to 6.03% for the same period in 2008.
Total interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 decreased $297,000 or 3.3% to $8.7 million from $9.0 million compared to the second quarter of 2008. Total average interest-bearing liabilities increased $129.4 million to $1.0 billion during the second quarter of 2009 as compared to $870.8 million during the same quarter in 2008. Average deposits increased $89.6 million while the average cost of funds for deposits decreased to 3.49% from 4.21% or 72 basis points for the second quarter of 2009 as a result of the general decline in interest rates. At the same time, the average balance of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle ("FHLB") increased $39.8 million. The related average cost of those funds declined 21 basis points to 3.50%. While total average interest-bearing liabilities increased $129.4 million, the favorable drop in interest rates allowed us to lower our average cost of funds to 3.50% from 4.15% on a year-over-year comparison. Both our net interest margin and interest rate spread for the quarter were negatively affected primarily by foregone interest on our nonperforming loans, resulting in a net interest margin of 2.24% and an interest rate spread of 1.54% for the second quarter of 2009 as compared to 2.80% and 1.79%, respectively, for the same period in 2008.
Total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $17.3 million and $18.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, average interest-bearing liabilities increased $110.3 million to $970.5 million with an average cost of funds of 3.57% compared to 4.22% for the same period in 2008. The interest rate spread and net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 1.75% and 2.48%, respectively, compared to 1.81% and 2.85%, respectively, for the same period in 2008. The decrease in our interest rate spread and margin was primarily affected by the foregone interest on the loan portfolio.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, management took a more comprehensive approach in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses including employing the services of an independent consulting firm and concluded that a provision of $18.3 million was required for the quarter. In the comparable quarter in 2008, the provision for loan losses was $445,000. "During the second quarter, we have taken a resolution focused approach to our nonperforming loans, in particular our nonperforming construction loans," stated Mr. Karpiak. "We have been working with our builders to get through this tough economic cycle. Unfortunately, the recession is lasting longer than predicted and some of our smaller builders will not be able to weather the storm. As a result, we have initiated foreclosure proceedings on approximately $60.0 million of loans during the second quarter of 2009, predominately nonperforming construction/land development loans," added Mr. Karpiak. Management determines additions to the allowance for loan losses based on several factors that could affect the loan portfolio. These factors, among others, include growth in the loan portfolio, delinquency rates and the effects of the economic environment. With the continuation of the recession, the rising unemployment rate and downward pressures on home prices, we anticipate further credit challenges. We are continuing to see a rise in the level of nonperforming assets and further discounts in home prices in our primary market area. In light of this environment, we determined that an independent stress test analysis performed on our construction/land development and commercial real estate loan portfolios was an appropriate action. Our total nonperforming loans, net of undisbursed funds, increased to $129.4 million from $80.2 million necessitating the increase in the provision for loan losses. The largest increase in nonperforming loans, net of undisbursed funds, was primarily related to the construction/land development loans which increased from $54.1 million at March 31, 2009 to $86.4 million at June 30, 2009. The allowance for loan losses was $32.5 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $17.0 million at December 31, 2008. We had no real estate owned at June 30, 2009.
Noninterest income (loss) was a loss of $97,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, which was the result of an OTTI charge of $152,000. For the comparable quarter in 2008, noninterest income (loss) was a loss of $493,000 as a result of an OTTI charge of $623,000. The OTTI charges for both periods were related to our investment in the AMF Ultra Short Mortgage Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, noninterest income was $33,000 compared to $870,000 for the same period in 2008. This decrease was the result of a $1.4 million gain on the sale of tax-exempt securities in January 2008 as compared to a $76,000 gain on the sale of investments in the first quarter of 2009.
Noninterest expense increased $16.9 million to $20.7 million in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to $3.8 million in the same quarter of 2008. The increase in the second quarter of 2009 was attributable to the impairment of goodwill, the loss related to the remaining book value of the building that houses our loan operations, an FDIC special assessment for deposit insurance and an increase in salaries and employee benefits. During the second quarter of 2009, we conducted a mid-year review of the carrying value of our goodwill as a result of the continued decline in the economic environment and concluded that it was appropriate to record an impairment of this entire asset. This impairment loss totaled $14.2 million in the second quarter of 2009. There was no comparable impairment charge in the same quarter in 2008. We also expensed the remaining book value of $983,000 related to the building that was adjacent to our headquarters which housed our lending operations. We are in the process of building a new structure to accommodate all of our lending staff. In addition, the FDIC levied a special assessment on all financial institutions as a result of the decline in the insurance fund attributable to bank failures throughout the country. Our portion of that special assessment was $559,000, which was required to be recorded in the second quarter of 2009. Finally, salaries and employee benefits expense increased $845,000 from the second quarter of 2008 primarily as a result of a $523,000 expense related to our equity incentive plan. No comparable expense was recorded in the same quarter in 2008 as the plan did not exist at that time. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, noninterest expense increased $19.2 million to $25.9 million compared to $6.7 million for the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to the events that occurred in the second quarter as discussed above.
At June 30, 2009, total assets increased $36.3 million to $1.3 billion from March 31, 2009. Cash, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits increased $18.0 million at June 30, 2009 from March 31, 2009. Investments available for sale increased $31.9 million, or 22.7% from March 31, 2009. This increase was primarily a result of the net growth in deposits for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Our loan portfolio, net of the allowance for loan losses, decreased $5.9 million or 0.6% during the three months ended June 30, 2009. Loan originations for the second quarter totaled: $25.1 million in one-to-four family mortgages; $17.0 million and $6.7 million in commercial real estate and multifamily loans, respectively; and $5.4 million in consumer loans. Included in the one-to-four family residential loan originations are $16.4 million of permanent loans on completed projects where the builder has paid-off the construction loan and entered into a permanent loan to finance the home while it is being leased by a third party. This practice is used to help our builders with cash flow management. We also originated $1.7 million in construction related loans to our merchant builders so they could continue to complete their projects and utilize their existing land inventory. We are concentrating on working with our existing builders and have not expanded our customer base for this loan type. During the second quarter of 2009, we offered a new business line of credit loan product to our customers and originated $251,000 in that portfolio.

Our loan policy limits the maximum amount of loans we can make to one borrower to 20% of the Bank's risk-based capital. As of June 30, 2009, the maximum amount which we could lend to any one borrower was $37.6 million based on our policy. Exceptions may be made to this policy with the prior approval of the Board of Directors if the borrower exhibits financial strength or compensating factors to sufficiently offset any weaknesses based on the loan-to-value ratio, borrower's financial condition, net worth, credit history, earnings capacity, installment obligations and current payment habits.

The builders listed in the above tables, as part of their business strategy, retain a certain percentage of their finished homes in their own inventory of permanent investment properties, (i.e. one-to-four family rental properties). These properties are used to enhance the builders' liquidity through rental income and improve their equity through the appreciation in market value of the property. As part of our underwriting process we review the borrowers' business strategy to determine the feasibility of the project. Although this has been included in these builders' business strategy prior to the current economic crises that we are experiencing, these builders have taken more rental properties into their portfolio in the last eighteen months than originally planned as a result of the sluggish housing market. In the aggregate, these five builders' one-to-four family residential rental property portfolios have increased $10.7 million as compared to December 31, 2008.
At June 30, 2009, nonperforming loans, net of the undisbursed portion, totaled $129.4 million. These loans represented 12.20% of total loans, net of undisbursed funds, and 9.97% of total assets at the end of the second quarter in 2009.

(1) At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $21.7 million and $10.3
million, respectively, were related to rental properties, of which
$13.1 million and $9.5 million, respectively, were related to the
builders' rental inventory.
Our nonperforming assets increased $49.2 million during the second quarter of 2009. This increase was the result of the continued weakening of the local economy, the increase in unemployment which has risen to 9.4% in Washington State and the increased foreclosure activity. Foreclosures are expected to remain high for the remainder of the year and into 2010. The nonperforming construction/land development loans are located predominately in King County. The worsening economy has forced builders to transfer finished homes into their rental property inventory, as opposed to selling them, until the market values of these homes rebound. In addition, a portion of the increase in the nonperforming assets is related to builders of higher price-point homes. Their homes are in the construction process or have been completed but have not sold. The sales activity has slowed dramatically in homes priced in excess of $500,000 and as a result, these projects are delinquent on their payments, thereby contributing to the increase in our nonperforming assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. We have also experienced an increase in our troubled debt restructured loans. At June 30, 2009, our troubled debt restructured loans totaled $38.2 million, an increase of $15.9 million from $22.3 million at March 31, 2009. As we work with our borrowers to help them through this difficult economic cycle, we explore all options available to us to minimize our risk of loss. At times, the best option for our customers and the Bank is to modify the loan for a period of time, usually one year or less. These modifications have included items such as lowering the interest rate on the loan for a period of time and extending the maturity date of the loan. These modifications are made only when there is a reasonable and attainable workout plan that has been agreed to by the borrower and is in the Bank's best interest.
Total liabilities increased $65.9 million, or 6.7%, to $1.0 billion at June 30, 2009 from $978.4 million at March 31, 2009. Deposits increased $63.0 million to $884.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, as customers are saving more as a result of the current economic conditions. We had no brokered deposits at June 30, 2009. Advances from the FHLB totaled $149.9 million at the end of June 30, 2009, compared to $148.2 million at March 31, 2009, a $1.8 million, or 1.2% increase.
Our total equity decreased $29.6 million, or 10.4%, to $253.8 million at June 30, 2009 from $283.4 million at March 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily the result of the net loss for the quarter of $28.0 million and cash dividends paid of $1.6 million.
