DENVER, Jan. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Western Financial, Inc., (“First Western” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: MYFW), today reported financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020.
Net income available to common shareholders was $4.9 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2020. This compares to $9.6 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2020, and $2.6 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2019.
Scott C. Wylie, CEO of First Western, commented, “Although we saw a seasonal decline in mortgage activity during the fourth quarter, we were still able to nearly double our earnings from the prior year due primarily to the strong balance sheet growth we generated in 2020, which resulted in a 64% year-over-year increase in our net interest income. We had another strong quarter of loan production and core deposit gathering, largely due to continued growth in commercial relationships.
“We also continued to see positive trends in asset quality, which reflects the strength of our borrowers and our conservative underwriting. Our total non-performing assets declined by approximately 60% from the end of the prior quarter, while only a small number of loans remain on deferral. We continue to closely monitor our borrowers and have not seen any meaningful deterioration in credit quality resulting from the recent surge in COVID-19 cases.
“We believe we are well positioned to generate another year of strong balance sheet growth in 2021, as our commercial banking initiative gains additional traction and we continue to have success competing against and taking business from larger banks. With the growth we have seen in our commercial client roster over the past year, we also believe that we have good opportunities to expand those relationships to include other products and services across the First Western banking and wealth management platform. As we continue to grow our balance sheet and expand client relationships, we expect to realize additional operating leverage, consistently deliver strong returns, and further enhance the value of the First Western franchise in the years to come,” said Mr. Wylie.

Operating Results for the Fourth Quarter 2020
Revenue
Gross revenue (1) was $23.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $31.0 million for the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in revenue was driven by an $8.1 million decrease in non-interest income, primarily due to a seasonal decline and processing constraints that impacted mortgage segment revenue.
Relative to the fourth quarter of 2019, gross revenue increased $7.2 million from $16.2 million, or 44.2%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to a $5.3 million increase in net interest income driven by improving net interest margin and growth in interest earning assets, as well as higher mortgage segment activity.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $13.5 million, an increase of 4.2% from $12.9 million in the third quarter of 2020. The increase in net interest income was primarily driven by a $60.1 million, or 4.1%, increase in average loan balances attributed to organic growth and $1.0 million from PPP income.
Relative to the fourth quarter of 2019, net interest income increased 64.3% from $8.2 million. The year-over-year increase in net interest income was due primarily to growth in average loans including organic growth, the impact of PPP loans, and the branch acquisition.
Net Interest Margin
Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2020 remained flat from the third quarter of 2020, at 3.07%. On a net basis, the PPP program negatively impacted net interest margin by 12 basis points. This was primarily driven by amortization of SBA fee income and deferred loan origination expense of $0.7 million and interest income from PPP loans of $0.3 million. The negative impact was offset by an increase of 9 basis points relating to the impact of purchase accretion from the branch acquisition completed in the second quarter 2020. Net interest margin was also negatively impacted by excess liquidity during the period, although the excess liquidity was a contributor to growth in net interest income.
Relative to the fourth quarter of 2019, the net interest margin increased from 2.91%, primarily due to an 84 basis point decline in cost of deposits, partially offset by a 62 basis point reduction in average yields on interest earning assets.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $10.0 million, a decrease of 44.8% from $18.0 million in the third quarter of 2020. The decrease was attributable to a seasonal decline in demand for mortgage loans in the secondary market, operational constraints that limited the number of mortgage loans that could be processed in the quarter, and lower margins due to investor pricing pressure driven by high volume of originations in the MBS market. While mortgage loan lock volume declined 47.6% from the third quarter of 2020, the Company originated $414.5 million of mortgage loans for sale during the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $376.3 million the previous quarter, an increase of $38.2 million.
Relative to the fourth quarter of 2019, non-interest income increased 21.0% from $8.2 million. The increase was attributable to higher net gain on mortgage loans of 67.6%, primarily related to an increase in mortgage lock volume of 125.8% year-over-year.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $15.6 million, a decrease of 6.1% from $16.6 million for the third quarter of 2020. The decrease was attributable to lower incentive compensation accruals and lower occupancy costs related to the consolidation of other locations acquired as part of the branch acquisition in the second quarter of 2020. This was partially offset by higher professional fees related to the disposition of the Los Angeles fixed income portfolio management team (“LA fixed income team”) and higher FDIC insurance related to deposit growth.
Non-interest expense increased 19.4% from $13.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits expense, additional FDIC insurance, and additional data processing costs resulting from the personnel and assets added through the branch purchase and organic growth.
The Company’s efficiency ratio(1) was 66.6% in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with 53.4% in the third quarter of 2020 and 80.5% in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Income Taxes
The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, representing an effective tax rate of 31.4%, compared to 24.9% for the third quarter of 2020. The increase in effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2020 was primarily attributable to recording a valuation allowance of $0.4 million related to our net operating loss with the State of California following the sale of our LA fixed income team in the fourth quarter.
Loan Portfolio
Total loans, including mortgage loans held for sale, were $1.70 billion at December 31, 2020, an increase of $98.7 million from the end of the prior quarter and an increase of $648.4 million from December 31, 2019.
Total loans held for investment, were $1.53 billion at December 31, 2020, an increase of 1.8% from $1.51 billion at September 30, 2020, and an increase of 53.9% from $996.6 million at December 31, 2019. The increase in total loans held for investment from September 30, 2020 was primarily due to growth in the commercial real estate, construction portfolio, and 1-4 family residential portfolios.
PPP loans were $142.9 million as of December 31, 2020, a decrease of 30.7% from $206.1 million as of September 30, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has submitted loan forgiveness applications to the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) on behalf of clients for $123.8 million and received forgiveness and funds remitted in the amount of $54.8 million from the SBA. As of December 31, 2020, there was $1.3 million remaining in net fees to be recognized upon forgiveness.
Deposits
Total deposits were $1.62 billion at December 31, 2020, compared to $1.56 billion at September 30, 2020, and $1.09 billion at December 31, 2019. The increase in total deposits from September 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to an increase in money market deposits.
Average total deposits for the fourth quarter of 2020 increased $114.6 million, or 31.3% annualized, from the third quarter of 2020 and $485.0 million, or 44.4%, from the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in money market deposits.
Borrowings
Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve borrowings were $149.6 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to $222.1 million as of September 30, 2020, a decrease of $72.5 million from the end of the prior quarter, and an increase of $139.6 million from December 31, 2019. The decrease from September 30, 2020 is attributable to the payback of funds received from the Paycheck Protection Program Loan Facility (“PPPLF”) from the Federal Reserve as PPP loans are forgiven. The balances in PPPLF reduced by $69.5 million in the fourth quarter 2020 when compared to the third quarter 2020 due to the corresponding forgiveness of PPP loans. Borrowing from this facility is expected to match the balances of the PPP loans. The increase from December 30, 2019 is attributable to participation in the PPPLF.
Assets Under Management
Total assets under management (“AUM”) increased by $124.2 million during the fourth quarter to $6.26 billion as of December 31, 2020, compared to $6.13 billion as of September 30, 2020, and $6.19 billion as of December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to new accounts and contributions to existing accounts, as well as improving market conditions causing an increase in assets under management balances. The increase in the fourth quarter AUM was partially offset by the sale of the LA fixed income team, resulting in a decline in investment agency balances of $330.6 million.
Credit Quality
Non-performing assets totaled $4.3 million, or 0.22% of total assets, as of December 31, 2020, compared with $10.4 million, or 0.53% of total assets, as of September 30, 2020 and $12.9 million, or 1.03% of total assets, as of December 31, 2019. The decline in non-performing assets from prior quarter was primarily due to the payoff of one large non-performing loan.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a loan modification program was designed and implemented to assist our clients experiencing financial stress resulting from the economic impacts caused by the global pandemic. The Company offered loan extensions, temporary payment moratoriums, and financial covenant waivers for commercial and consumer borrowers impacted by the pandemic who had a pass risk rating and had not been delinquent over 30 days on payments in the last two years. As of January 25, 2021, all borrowers were out of their deferral period and all are performing.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company has active loan modification agreements on two loans across multiple industries in the amount of $2.1 million, representing a decline of 96.7% from $63.0 million, as of September 30, 2020. COVID-19 loan modification agreements represented 0.1% of total loans, as of December 31, 2020, compared with 4.2% of total loans, as of September 30, 2020. Most of the temporary payment moratoriums were for a period of 180 days or less and the Company is recognizing interest income on these loans.
The Company continues to meet regularly with clients who could be more highly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company receives and reviews current financial data and cash flow forecasts from borrowers with loan modification agreements. As of December 31, 2020, loans which were granted modifications and the modification term has ended have returned to performing status.
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The higher provision was primarily due to the growth in the loan portfolio. The Company has increased loan level reviews and portfolio monitoring to thoroughly assess how its clients are being impacted by the current environment.
Capital
As of December 31, 2020, First Western (“Consolidated”) and First Western Trust Bank (“Bank”) exceeded the minimum capital levels required by their respective regulators. As of December 31, 2020, the Bank was classified as “well capitalized,” as summarized in the following table:
