ANCHORAGE, Alaska, July 21, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (Nasdaq:NRIM) today reported net income in the second quarter of 2010 increased 14% to $2.1 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to $1.9 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in both the first quarter of 2010 and the second quarter a year ago. For the first half of 2010, profits grew 5% to $4.0 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, from $3.8 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, in the first half of 2009.
Financial Highlights (at or for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, compared to March 31, 2010, and June 30, 2009)
- Northrim continued to strengthen its capital ratios with Tier 1 Capital/risk adjusted assets of 14.77% as compared to 14.31% in the immediate prior quarter and 13.50% a year ago. These ratios do not reflect any government investment in Northrim as the company elected not to participate in the Capital Purchase Program sponsored by the U. S. Treasury in 2008.
- Northrim's tangible common equity to tangible assets at quarter end was 10.53%, up from 10.23% a year earlier.
- Book value was $17.85 per share and tangible book value was $16.46 per share, up from $17.04 and $15.60 respectively a year earlier.
- Nonperforming assets declined in the quarter to $28.4 million or 2.82% of total assets, compared to $31.6 million, or 3.20% of total assets at the end of the first quarter 2010.
- The allowance for loan losses continued to increase, now totaling 2.30% of gross loans at June 30, 2010, compared to 2.17% at March 31, 2010, and 1.93% a year ago. The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans also increased to 93.6% from 90.25% at March 31, 2010 and 65.92% a year ago.
- Residential construction loans declined to $49.1 million or 8% of portfolio loans, from $79.5 million, or 12% of portfolio loans, a year ago.
- Other operating income that includes revenues from service charges, electronic banking, and financial services affiliates contributed 25% of total second quarter revenues and 22% of year-to-date revenues.
"Our second quarter results showed improvement over those generated in the first quarter of the year and in the like quarter a year ago," said Marc Langland, Chairman, President and CEO of Northrim BanCorp, Inc. "The earnings power of the bank and our strong balance sheet, along with the stability of the Alaska market, have helped us in our efforts to build shareholder value over the long-term."
Alaska Economic Update
"Throughout this economic cycle, Alaska has fared far better than the rest of the country, and we continue to benefit from the strong contribution from natural resources, tourism and government operations," said Chris Knudson, Chief Operating Officer. "There are now two competing proposals for a gas pipeline from the oil and gas fields in northern Alaska to the lower 48 states. If either of these proposals proceeds, the projected investment in this project is expected to exceed $30 billion and may bring many jobs to the state. However, discussions for this project have been ongoing for years, and we are still a long way from breaking ground."
Through June of 2010, reports from the State of Alaska Department of Labor indicate that employment in Alaska increased by 1% over last year. Also, as of June 2010, the Alaska unemployment rate was 7.9% as compared to 9.5% for the United States as a whole.

Asset Quality and Balance Sheet Review
Northrim's total assets grew 2% to $1.01 billion at June 30, 2010, from $989 million at March 31, 2010, and 3% from $976 million at June 30, 2009, with an increase in overnight and portfolio investments offsetting continuing maturities in the construction loan portfolio and lower levels of commercial loans. The loan portfolio decreased 8% in the second quarter to $628 million from $685 million a year ago. The loan portfolio shows that about 86% of the customers are located in the greater Anchorage area and 14% are in the Fairbanks area.
The loan portfolio remains diversified with commercial loans accounting for 39% of the portfolio and commercial real estate accounting for 46% of the portfolio at June 30, 2010. Construction and land development loans, which accounted for 8% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2010, are down 38% to $49.1 million from $79.5 million a year ago, reflecting the maturing of projects funded in past years, the reduction in new projects starts in the past two years, and our continuing successful collection efforts.
Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2010, declined by $3.2 million year-over-year and from the preceding quarter. The risk profile of the portfolio improved as a result of the following developments:
- Loans measured for impairment decreased to $25.1 million at June 30, 2010, compared to $44.0 million at March 31, 2010, and $67.1 million in the second quarter a year ago.
- Nonperforming loans totaled $15.4 million, or 2.45% of total portfolio loans at June 30, 2010, compared to $20.0 million, or 2.92% of total portfolio loans a year ago.
- All construction and development projects in Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) are substantially complete and are being marketed.
- The $5.3 million condominium conversion project in Anchorage that moved into OREO during the fourth quarter of 2009 continues to generate rental income producing an average yield of approximately 5%. Of the 68 original units, 32 condos have been sold and 36 are rented, providing positive cash flow for the project.
- Net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2010, totaled $994,000, or 0.16% of average loans, compared to net charge-offs of $2.3 million, or 0.33% of average loans during the second quarter of 2009. Year-to-date net charge-offs totaled $1.4 million, or 0.45%, annualized, of average loans, down from $3.2 million, 0.91%, annualized, of average loans in the first half of 2009.
- Sales of OREO continued during the second quarter, with 25 properties sold for an aggregate of $3.9 million, generating a $211,000 net gain over current carrying value. Year-to-date OREO sales generated $5.9 million in gross proceeds, $281,000 in gain on sale of 36 properties total.
- The coverage ratio of the allowance to nonperforming loans increased to 93.6% at June 30, 2010, compared to 65.92% in the second quarter a year ago.
"The pace of sales in our OREO portfolio accelerated in the quarter, and we are encouraged by the continued stability in the greater Anchorage market," said Joe Beedle, President of Northrim Bank. "Since we did not have the extreme spikes in pricing in our housing market several years ago, we are not experiencing the extreme troughs and oversupply that characterizes many markets in the rest of the country. Loan demand continues to be soft as our customers remain conservative in their capital expenditures given the economic, political and business climate of the past two years."
The allowance for loan losses was $14.4 million, or 2.30% of portfolio loans at the end of the second quarter of 2010, compared to $14.0 million, or 2.17% of total loans at March 31, 2010, and $13.2 million, or 1.93% of total loans a year ago. The provision for loan losses in the current quarter and the first half of 2010 continue to exceed net charge-offs for the year.
Portfolio investments grew to $177.1 million at the end of the second quarter of 2010, from $136.7 million a year ago. At June 30, 2010, the portfolio was comprised of 72% U.S. Agency securities, 13% securities of Alaskan municipalities, utilities, or state agencies, 14% corporate bonds, and 1%, or $2 million of stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle. "We continue to manage our investments for credit quality and liquidity and have not extended maturities to boost yield. In the current low rate environment, we prefer to hold high quality, liquid investments," said Joe Schierhorn, Chief Financial Officer. "When loan demand picks up, we will be able to deploy these investments into higher yielding assets."
Total deposits grew 2% in the quarter and 4% year-over-year to $851.5 million at June 30, 2010, compared to $835.1 million at March 31, 2010 and $819.1 million a year earlier. "All of our deposits are in-market and time deposits continue to be heavily weighted to shorter-term maturities," Knudson added. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits at June 30, 2010, increased 8% from a year ago and account for 32% of total deposits. Interest-bearing demand deposits at the end of June 2010 also grew 8% year-over-year and account for 14% of total deposits. The Alaska CD (a flexible certificate of deposit program) grew 8% and accounts for 13% of total deposits. Savings account balances were up 16% from a year ago and represent 8% of total deposits. Money market balances were up 6% to 15% of all deposits and time deposit balances fell 13% year-over year and now account for 17% of total deposits.
Shareholders' equity increased 6% to $114.0 million, or $17.85 per share, at quarter end, compared to $108.0 million, or $17.04 per share, at June 30, 2009. Tangible book value per share was $16.46 up from $15.60 a year earlier. Northrim remains well capitalized with Tier 1 Capital to Risk Adjusted Assets of 14.77% at June 30, 2010.
Review of Operations
Reflecting increased contributions from affiliates, revenue (net interest income plus other operating income) was $14.7 million, up from $14.2 million in the preceding quarter and down from $15.3 million in the second quarter of 2009. Year-to-date revenue totaled $28.9 million compared to $30.1 million in the first half of 2009.
Second quarter 2010 net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, was $11.1 million compared to $11.3 million in the preceding quarter and $11.7 million in the second quarter of 2009. In the first half of 2010, net interest income before provision for loan losses was down 2% to $22.4 million from $22.8 million in the first half of 2009.
Northrim's net interest margin (net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets on a tax equivalent basis) was 5.06% in the second quarter of 2010, compared to 5.34% in the first quarter of 2010 and 5.48% in the second quarter a year ago. For the first six months of 2010, Northrim's net interest margin was 5.20% compared to 5.34% in the like period a year ago. "While our second quarter net interest margin was down over the last year, it remains one of the highest margins in the nation according to the Uniform Bank Performance Report," said Beedle. The strong margin reflects a number of factors including the strength of our core deposits and recoveries of interest from nonaccrual loans offset by lower loan volume and the increase in lower-yielding overnight and portfolio investments.
The loan loss provision in the first and second quarters of 2010 totaled $1.4 million, compared to $2.1 million in the second quarter a year ago. Year-to-date, the provision for loan losses totaled $2.8 million compared to $3.5 million in the first half of 2009. In the second quarter of 2010, net interest income, after the provision for loan losses, was $9.7 million compared to $9.9 million in the prior quarter and $9.5 million a year ago. For the first six months of 2010, net interest income after provision for loan losses was $19.7 million compared to $19.4 million in the like period a year ago.
Total other operating income increased 26% for the second quarter of 2010 from the prior quarter and dipped 1% year-over-year reflecting strong contributions from affiliated financial services offerings, although volumes in Northrim's mortgage affiliate were off from last year's levels. Other operating income totaled $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2010 and $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2009. For the first six months of 2010, other operating income totaled $6.5 million compared to $7.2 million for the first six months of 2009. Deposit account service charge income grew 9% in the linked quarter to $762,000 up from $700,000 in the preceding quarter and compared to $775,000 in the second quarter of 2009. For the first six months of the year, service charges on deposit accounts were flat at $1.5 million.
Purchased receivable income contributed $595,000 to second quarter revenues, up from $314,000 in the preceding quarter and $474,000 in the year ago quarter. Year-to-date, purchased receivables income contributed $909,000 down from $1.2 million in the first half of 2009. "Income and expenses in this category fluctuate a great deal due to the nature of the business and balances financed for customers. Northrim Funding, our purchased receivables division based in the greater Seattle area, offers a solid alternative to local financing options for small businesses and provides us with a way to operate in the Puget Sound commercial market," said Beedle.
Employee benefit plan income grew to $530,000 for the second quarter of 2010 compared to $447,000 for the second quarter of 2009 due to the addition of more customers to this product line. Year-to-date employee benefit plan income totaled $951,000 up from $813,000 a year ago. "This product offering is attractive to the small to medium sized business in our market and gives us just one more competitive advantage in attracting and retaining commercial accounts in our market," noted Langland. "We also benefit from the two wealth management affiliates in which we have an ownership interest, Elliott Cove Capital and Pacific Wealth Management. Both of these firms add diversification to our income stream and to our customers' financial choices and they also help us gain a larger share of customer assets."
Income from Northrim's mortgage affiliate contributed $182,000 to second quarter revenues, down from $764,000 in the second quarter a year ago, which was boosted by the strong refinance activity resulting from the drop in mortgage rates last year. "While this part of our business is highly interest rate sensitive, it also contributes to revenues and helps build customer relationships," Langland continued.
Gain on sale of OREO and rental income from one of the larger projects in the portfolio, also contributed to revenues in the quarter and the year to date periods. "We continue to generate rental income from the condo conversion project added to OREO last year. For the first six months of this year, this project provided almost a 5% return on investment," said Schierhorn.
Second quarter operating expenses were flat from the first quarter and decreased 3% year-over-year, reflecting reduced insurance expenses, OREO management costs, and professional and outside services. Noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2010 was $10.2 million compared to $10.5 million in the second quarter a year ago. Noninterest expense in the first half of 2010 was $20.3 million compared to $21.1 million in the like period a year ago.
The efficiency ratio during the second quarter of 2010 was 68.63%, compared to 71.21% in the first quarter of 2010 and 68.22% in the second quarter a year ago. The efficiency ratio, calculated by dividing noninterest expense, excluding intangible asset amortization expense, by net interest income and noninterest income, measures overhead costs as a percentage of total revenues.

| 1 Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP ratio that represents total equity less goodwill and intangible assets divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets. This ratio has received more attention over the past several years from stock analysts and regulators. The GAAP measure of assets to equity would be total assets to total equity. Total equity to total assets was 11.32% at June 30, 2010 as compared to 11.37% at March 31, 2010 and 11.07% at June 30, 2009. | |||
| 2 Tax-equivalent net interest margin is a non-GAAP performance measurement in which interest income on non-taxable investments and loans is presented on a tax-equivalent basis using a combined federal and state statutory rate of 41.11% in both 2010 and 2009, respectively. | |||
| 3 The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP ratio that is calculated by dividing non-interest expense, exclusive of intangible asset amortization, by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income. | |||

Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect management's views only as of the date hereof. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, regarding our financial position, business strategy and management's plans and objectives for future operations are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," and "intend" and words or phrases of similar meaning, as they relate to Northrim or management, are intended to help identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although we believe that management's expectations as reflected in forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure readers that those expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to differ materially and adversely from our expectations as indicated in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include our ability to maintain or expand our market share or net interest margins, and to implement our marketing and growth strategies. Further, actual results may be affected by our ability to compete on price and other factors with other financial institutions; customer acceptance of new products and services; the regulatory environment in which we operate; and general trends in the local, regional and national banking industry and economy as those factors relate to our cost of funds and return on assets. In addition, there are risks inherent in the banking industry relating to collectability of loans and changes in interest rates. Many of these risks, as well as other risks that may have a material adverse impact on our operations and business, are identified in our other filings with the SEC. However, you should be aware that these factors are not an exhaustive list, and you should not assume these are the only factors that may cause our actual results to differ from our expectations.
