ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Jan. 21, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (Nasdaq:NRIM) ("Northrim") today reported net profits of $12.3 million, or $1.87 per diluted share, for the full year 2013 compared to $12.9 million, or $1.97 per share, for the full year 2012. A 9% increase in portfolio loans helped to generate a 4% increase in net interest income, which was offset by higher expenses associated with the launch of the Enroll Alaska initiative (a division of Northrim Benefits Group, which is an affiliate of Northrim), costs associated with the previously announced proposed merger with Alaska Pacific Bancshares, Inc. ("Alaska Pacific"), and lower revenues from its Residential Mortgage Lending ("RML") affiliate.
In the fourth quarter of 2013, net income was $2.7 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to $3.5 million, or $0.53 per diluted share in the preceding quarter and $3.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2012. There was no loan loss provision booked in the fourth quarter of 2013, while Northrim recorded net recoveries on previously charged off loans producing negative loan loss provisions in the third quarter of 2013 and the fourth quarter a year ago. In addition, Northrim also incurred additional costs associated with the proposed Alaska Pacific merger and earned lower revenues from its RML affiliate in the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared to the preceding quarter and the fourth quarter of 2012.
"A highlight for the year was the signing of the agreement to acquire Alaska Pacific Bancshares, Inc. (OTCQB:AKPB) in a stock and cash transaction currently valued at approximately $14.6 million1. Once completed, this acquisition will expand our franchise into Juneau, Ketchikan and Sitka, all new markets for us, and it is expected to be accretive to our earnings in 2015," said Marc Langland, Chairman, President and CEO of Northrim Bancorp.
"We also launched Enroll Alaska, a division of Northrim Benefits Group , which is working to bring insurance coverage under the Affordable Health Care Act to the approximately 20% of Alaskans that are uninsured," Langland continued. "Despite the early launch problems associated with the Affordable Care Act, we were able to enroll over 800 people, almost all in December, while further establishing Northrim Benefits Group as a leading employee benefits agency in the state."
Financial Highlights (at or for the periods ended Dec. 31, 2013, compared to Sept. 30, 2013, and Dec. 31, 2012)

- Tangible common equity to tangible assets3 was 11.28% at December 31, 2013, compared to 11.49% in the preceding quarter and 11.12% a year ago.
"We made a number of substantial investments into growing our franchise in 2013, which all came together in the second half of the year, with the announcement of our planned acquisition of Alaska Pacific and the launch of Enroll Alaska," said Joe Beedle, President and CEO of Northrim Bank. "These investments had a greater impact on costs than on revenue in 2013; however, we expect to begin to see contributions to revenue once the merger with Alaska Pacific is completed. We expect professional expenses and conversion costs required to complete the Alaska Pacific merger to continue to impact operating expenses in the first half of 2014."
"We believe the boom in mortgage refinancing activity has ended. As a result, contributions to earnings and profits from our mortgage affiliate have moderated substantially, as expected," Beedle continued.
Alaska Economic Update
According to Caroline Schultz of the Alaska Department of Labor in its January issue of Alaska Economic Trends, "preliminary data show Alaska's job growth slowed to 0.5% in 2013, and the state is expected to add jobs at a rate of 0.4% this year. That would make 2014 the fifth straight year of employment increases since the 2009 downturn, but the growth will be at a lower rate than the state's 10-year average."
"Shrinking government employment is a major reason for this tempered forecast," Schultz continued. "Government has traditionally provided slow but steady job growth in Alaska, but several years of cuts - mainly federal - have put a damper on overall job growth. Predicted declines in federal spending and oil revenue, foundationally important to Alaska's economy, make a conservative forecast necessary. An overall decline in employment is not likely, though, as industries with strong growth - such as health care, natural resource extraction, and leisure and hospitality - will likely compensate for losses elsewhere."
Neal Fried, Economist with the Alaska Department of Labor, was a keynote speaker at the November 26th Resource Development Council's annual conference. "Five years after the recession, Alaska is third in the nation for job gains; behind only North Dakota and Texas," said Fried. "Since late 2008, Alaska's unemployment rate has been below the national average." Fried continued by outlining highs and lows in each of the industry areas. "Employment in Alaska's timber industry has been at a low level since 2009 and is looking for growth. Going the other direction, mining has more than doubled since 2002. Fishing has seen nice growth in both processing and harvesting. Even with the decline in oil production, there has been steady growth in jobs since 2004. In the past decade, Alaska has seen a 12% increase in all employment."
On November 5, Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan announced that "the Municipality's general obligation rating has been upgraded to AAA by the rating agency Standard & Poor's (S&P). This marks the second time in a year that the Municipality's rating has been raised. Last year, the rating went from AA to AA+, a boost that only a few cities received. This action by S&P continues to demonstrate that investors have the highest level of confidence in the Municipality of Anchorage."

Review of Operations:
Revenue and Net Interest Income
Total revenues, which include net interest income plus other operating income, were flat at $14.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared to the third quarter of 2013 but decreased by 5% from $15.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, in part due to a decline in mortgage originations at Northrim's residential mortgage affiliate. For the full year 2013, total revenues were down slightly at $56.9 million from $57.7 million a year ago.
In the fourth quarter of 2013, net interest income grew 5% to $11.5 million, compared to $11.0 million in the immediate prior quarter and was up 7% from $10.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. In 2013, net interest income increased 4% to $44.0 million, compared to $42.2 million in 2012.
"Our net interest margin remained strong supported by loan growth and a deposit base that is more than 90% in low-cost transaction based accounts," said Joe Schierhorn, CFO and COO. "We continue to see pressure on loan yields, as customers refinance their loans at today's historically low interest rates. This trend continues to contribute to margin compression. Our net interest margin, nevertheless, continued to be well above the average for the SNL Bank Index of 2.93% at September 30, 2013." In the fourth quarter of 2013, Northrim's net interest margin (NIM) was 4.24%, level with the preceding quarter and down 1 basis point from 4.25% in the fourth quarter a year ago. In 2013, NIM was 4.29% compared to 4.40% in 2012.
Provision for Loan Losses
"Because of the continuing improvement in asset quality and recoveries on previously charged off loans, we did not book a provision for loan losses in both the fourth and second quarters of 2013 and have booked net recoveries in four of the past 5 quarters," said Schierhorn. The loan loss benefit was $785,000 in the third quarter of this year and $300,000 in the fourth quarter of 2012. For 2013, the negative loan loss provision totaled $635,000, compared to a negative provision of $1.6 million in 2012. Consequently, the allowance for loan losses decreased slightly as compared to both the prior quarter and from a year ago.
Other Operating Income
Northrim has interests in a number of complementary businesses that provide financial services to businesses and individuals, including purchased receivables financing, health insurance plans, mortgage origination and wealth management. In the fourth quarter of 2013, total other operating income was down 14% to $2.8 million from $3.2 million in the preceding quarter, and down 35% from $4.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. In 2013, other operating income was down 16% to $12.9 million, compared to $15.4 million in 2012. "Reduction in mortgage volumes and lower rental income from our headquarters building were major causes of the decrease in other operating income," said Schierhorn. "With the building renovations near completion, we intend to begin re-leasing space in our headquarters building in the second half of 2014."
Purchased receivable income contributed $570,000 to fourth quarter 2013 revenues, compared to $757,000 in the preceding quarter and $776,000 in the fourth quarter a year ago. In 2013, purchased receivable financing contributed $2.8 million to revenues, compared to $3.0 million a year ago. Fourth quarter 2013 purchased receivable balances were up 16% from the third quarter, and down 16% from a year ago reflecting a large repayment at the end of the third quarter. "This income stream varies from quarter to quarter depending upon the financing needs of our customers, and we anticipate that we will be rebuilding balances for this part of our business in the coming year," said Beedle.
Employee benefit plan income contributed $599,000 to fourth quarter 2013 revenues, compared to $541,000 in the preceding quarter and $604,000 in the fourth quarter of 2012. For 2013, employee benefit plan income was $2.3 million, compared to $2.4 million in 2012.
In the fourth quarter of this year, service charges were $503,000, down from $549,000 in the preceding quarter and $528,000 in the fourth quarter a year ago. In 2013, services charges on deposit accounts declined 4% to $2.1 million from $2.2 million a year ago. In the fourth quarter of 2013, electronic banking income contributed $544,000 to other operating income, a decrease of 4% from the third quarter of 2013 and 3% lower from the fourth quarter of 2012. In 2013, electronic banking income grew 5% to $2.2 million from $2.1 million a year ago. Gain on sale of securities contributed $333,000 to revenues in 2013, compared to $336,000 in 2012.
The decline in other income in 2013 compared to 2012 was related in large part to the decrease in rental income at Northrim's headquarters building, as noted above. Other income was $460,000 for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $493,000 in the third quarter of 2013 and $844,000 in the fourth quarter of 2012. In 2013, other income was $1.9 million compared to $2.8 million in 2012.
Other Operating Expenses
Overhead costs increased 6% to $10.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, as compared to $10.1 million in the third quarter of 2013 reflecting increased salary and benefit costs at Northrim, costs associated with the proposed Alaska Pacific merger, and an increase in the reserve for purchased receivables. In the fourth quarter a year ago overhead costs were $10.6 million. Fourth quarter 2013 compensation costs increased 4% to $6.4 million from $6.1 million in the third quarter of 2013, and increased 12% from the fourth quarter a year ago. The increase in compensation costs in the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 was caused in part by compensation costs associated with the start-up of the Enroll Alaska Division of Northrim Benefits Group in the second half of 2013 and a change in Northrim's vacation policy. In 2013, operating expenses were $39.9 million, up slightly from $39.6 million in 2012.
Balance Sheet Review
Northrim's assets increased 5% to $1.22 billion at December 31, 2013, compared to $1.16 billion a year ago.
Investment securities totaled $252.8 million at December 31, 2013, compared to $243.1 million at September 30, 2013 and $208.6 million a year ago. At December 31, 2013, the investment portfolio was comprised of 64% U.S. Agency securities (primarily Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Farm Credit Bank debt), 9% Alaskan municipality, utility, or state agency securities, 24% corporate securities, 2% U.S. treasury securities, and 1% stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle. At December 31, 2013, the average estimated duration of the investment portfolio was two years. The investment portfolio generated an average net tax equivalent yield of 1.29% for the fourth quarter of 2013.
Portfolio loans grew 9% from a year ago to $770.0 million at year end. Growth in commercial and commercial real estate loans contributed to a majority of the increase to the portfolio in 2013 as compared to a year ago. Construction loans, which remain a small part of the portfolio, also contributed to loan growth during the year. Average portfolio loan balances increased 4% in the quarter and 11% during the past twelve months to $763.4 million. Portfolio loans totaled $770.0 million at December 31, 2013, compared to $754.4 million at September 30, 2013, and $704.2 million a year ago.
"As one of the leading construction lenders in the state, we are benefiting from the growth in the construction market for both residential and commercial projects," Beedle added. Commercial loans were down 1% in the quarter ended December 31, 2013 but grew 10% year-over-year to $300.3 million and accounted for 39% of portfolio loans at December 31, 2013, compared to $304.5 million three months earlier and $273.4 million a year ago. Commercial real estate loans, of which 24% are owner occupied, totaled $376.4 million and accounted for 49% of portfolio loans at December 31, 2013, compared to a total of $358.2 million at September 30, 2013, and $344.6 million at December 31, 2012. Construction and land development loans totaled $62.8 million and accounted for 8% of portfolio loans at December 31, 2013, compared to $60.4 million at September 30, 2013 and $53.6 million at December 31, 2012.
Loans held for sale declined to $11.3 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2013, from $13.9 million at September 30, 2013 and down from $11.7 million a year ago. The average balance for the quarter for loans held for sale fell to $8.6 million at December 31, 2013, compared to $13.4 million at September 30, 2013 and $19.2 million a year ago, primarily reflecting the overall decline in the mortgage refinance market. Northrim purchases these loans from its mortgage affiliate and sells them into the secondary market on pre-arranged commitments.
The mix of deposits continued to reflect Northrim's commitment to its local deposit market. Balances in transaction accounts at December 31, 2013 represented 91.4% of total deposits, up from 90.4% a year ago. At December 31, 2013, total deposits were $1 billion, up 3% from $970.1 million a year ago and up 4% compared to $968.2 million at September 30, 2013.
Noninterest-bearing demand deposits at December 31, 2013, increased 1% from a year ago, and interest-bearing demand deposits declined 2% over the same period. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2013, money market and savings account balances were up 12% and 8%, respectively, from year-ago levels, while the Alaska CD (a flexible certificate of deposit program) balances increased 11% over the same period. Time deposit balances at December 31, 2013 fell 7% compared to December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2013, noninterest-bearing demand deposits accounted for 36% of total deposits, interest-bearing demand accounts were 14%, savings deposits were 10%, money market balances accounted for 20%, the Alaska CD accounted for 11%, and time certificates were 9% of total deposits.
Shareholders' equity increased 6% to $144.3 million, or $22.05 per share, at December 31, 2013, compared to $136.4 million, or $20.93 per share, a year ago. At the end of the preceding quarter, shareholders' equity was $142.6 million, or $21.89 per share. Tangible book value per share was $20.83 at December 31, 2013, compared to $19.67 per share a year ago and $20.66 per share at September 30, 2013. Northrim remains well-capitalized with Tier 1 Capital to Risk Adjusted Assets of 15.35% at December 31, 2013.
Asset Quality
The ratio of nonperforming assets ("NPAs") to total assets dropped to 0.35% at December 31, 2013, down from 0.56% three months earlier and 0.78% a year ago. NPAs were $4.2 million at December 31, 2013, compared to $6.6 million in the preceding quarter and $9.1 million a year ago.
Nonperforming loans ("NPLs") decreased to 0.24% of portfolio loans from 0.38% in the preceding quarter and 0.64% a year ago. NPLs decreased to $1.8 million at December 31, 2013, as compared to $2.9 million at September 30, 2013 and $4.5 million a year ago. Other real estate owned (OREO) was $2.4 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $3.7 million in the preceding quarter and $4.5 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2012.
Loans measured for impairment totaled $8.8 million at December 31, 2013, compared to $11.0 million at September 30, 2013, and $13.1 million in the fourth quarter a year ago.
At December 31, 2013, there were $1.3 million of restructured loans included in nonaccrual loans, as compared to $1.8 million at September 30, 2013, and $3.5 million at December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2013, Northrim held $6.6 million in performing restructured loans that were not included in nonaccrual loans, as compared to $7.1 million at September 30, 2013, and $8.6 million at December 31, 2012. "Borrowers who are in financial difficulty and who have been granted concessions that may include interest rate reductions, term extensions, or payment alterations are categorized as restructured loans," said Schierhorn. "We present restructured loans that are performing separately from those that are in nonaccrual to provide more information on this category of loans and to differentiate between accruing performing and nonperforming restructured loans."
The coverage ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans increased to 897% at December 31, 2013, compared to 569% three months earlier, and 362% a year ago. The allowance for loan losses decreased to $16.3 million at December 31, 2013, compared to $16.5 million at the end of the preceding quarter and $16.4 million a year ago.
