NEWS RELEASE

Northrim BanCorp Earns $14.4 Million, or $2.06 per Diluted Share, in 2016

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - January 30, 2017 - Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:NRIM) (“Northrim” or the "Company") today reported that net income attributable to the Company declined to $14.4 million, or $2.06 per diluted share in 2016 compared to $17.8 million, or $2.56 per diluted share in 2015. Approximately half of the decline in earnings in 2016, or $0.26 per diluted share, was due to a previously disclosed non-cash accounting correction and the related change in accounting treatment that was discussed in the third quarter results for the earn-out payments associated with the Company's 2014 acquisition of Residential Mortgage Holding Company, LLC ("RML"). The remainder of the decline in earnings in 2016 compared to 2015 was mostly the result of a decrease in net interest income primarily due to reduced loan growth, an increase in the provision for loan losses in part due to increased nonperforming assets and the continued softening in the Alaskan economy, a decrease in other operating income primarily due to lower gains recognized on the disposition of previously acquired loans, and an increase in operating expenses.

Fourth quarter 2016 net income attributable to the Company improved to $3.6 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to $3.1 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, in the third quarter 2016, and declined from $4.1 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter 2015.

“Our franchise remains strong despite the slowing Alaskan economy,” said Joseph Beedle, Chairman, President and CEO of Northrim Bancorp. “We believe that our credit discipline combined with our understanding of our economy and our customers, will serve us well as we navigate through this period of contraction. Our loan loss reserves are 2.02% of portfolio loans, almost twice the 1.03% ratio maintained by banks of our size across the nation1.”













1As of September 30, 2016, the SNL US Bank Index tracked 147 banks with assets between $1 billion and $5 billion with averages for the following ratios: NIMTE 3.60%, loan loss reserves to gross loans of 1.03% return on average assets 0.90%, and return on average equity 8.55%

Net income attributable to the Company totaled $14.4 million, or $2.06 per diluted share, in 2016, compared to $17.8 million, or $2.56 per diluted share, in 2015.
Total revenues, which include net interest income plus total other operating income, declined 2% to $99.6 million in 2016 from $101.5 million in 2015. In the fourth quarter 2016, total revenues were $24.3 million, compared to $26.1 million in the preceding quarter primarily due to higher mortgage banking income in the preceding quarter, and $24.5 million in the fourth quarter a year ago.
Net interest income was down 2% in the fourth quarter 2016 compared to the third quarter 2016 and down 4% from the fourth quarter a year ago, primarily as a result of lower average yields on the loan portfolio for the current quarter compared to the prior periods. Fourth quarter 2016 included a $187,000 reduction of interest income in the fourth quarter of 2016 related to one $8.7 million commercial loan relationship that was moved to nonaccrual status.
Net interest margin ("NIM") decreased to 4.01% in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to 4.11% in the third quarter of 2016 and 4.05% in the fourth quarter of 2015. Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis ("NIMTE")* decreased to 4.07% in the fourth quarter 2016 compared to 4.17% in the third quarter 2016 and 4.10% in the fourth quarter a year ago. The decreases in NIM and NIMTE* in the current quarter compared to prior periods primarily resulted from a lower yield on the loan portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2016. NIMTE* remains well above the 3.60% average produced by the 147 banks in the SNL US Bank Index with assets between $1 billion and $5 billion as of September 30, 2016.
Northrim paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share in December 2016, up from the $0.19 per share dividend paid in December 2015. The dividend provides an annual yield of approximately 2.7% at current market share prices.


* References to tax equivalent NIM, or NIMTE, tangible book value per share, tangible common equity and tangible assets (all of which exclude intangible assets) represent non-GAAP financial measures. Management has presented these non-GAAP measurements in this earnings release, because it believes these measures are useful to investors. See the end of this release for reconciliations of these measures to GAAP financial measures.

Book value per share increased to $27.07 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $26.99 at the end of the previous quarter and $25.77 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2015.
The allowance for loan losses grew to 2.02% at year end, compared to 1.85% a year ago.
Northrim remains well-capitalized with Tier 1 Capital to Risk Adjusted Assets of 14.54% at December 31, 2016, compared to 14.24% at September 30, 2016, and 13.34% a year ago.
Total shareholders' equity to total assets was 12.23% at the end of the fourth quarter 2016 compared to 12.06% at the end of the preceding quarter and 11.82% at the end of the fourth quarter 2015. Tangible common equity to tangible assets* was 11.28% at December 31, 2016, compared to 11.12% at September 30, 2016, and 10.40% a year ago.


The loan portfolio contracted 2% in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the preceding quarter end and 1% year-over-year. Year-over-year growth in commercial and commercial real estate loans were offset by lower construction and consumer balances. “Our commercial real estate (“CRE”) loan portfolio (both owner-occupied and investment properties) declined 2% compared to the preceding quarter but generated 3% growth year over year, and accounted for 57% of loans at the end of December 2016,” said Joe Schierhorn, Northrim Bank’s President and CEO.

“Commercial loan balances increased 1% in the current quarter and 2% for the year in 2016, reflecting lower growth due to longer term concerns about the Alaska economy,” Schierhorn continued. “Construction loans, as anticipated, were also down 18% in 2016 compared to 2015 as projects that have been completed and termed out in 2016 are not being replaced by new loans. New construction projects in the Anchorage market are coming in at a slower pace than in the past few years primarily as a result of weakness in the Alaskan economy. Of the construction loans that were completed in 2016, $23 million converted to the CRE term loan portfolio, which contributed to overall growth of $16.3 million, or 3%, in our CRE portfolio in 2016.”

Information from our website is not incorporated into, and does not form a part of this press release.

“Both from our own observations and recent employment reporting data, it is clear that Alaska is in a moderate recession,” said Beedle. “We remain concerned about the economic implications of the fiscal decisions that still need to be made to balance the state budget, but we are reassured by the manner in which our borrowers, customers and shareholders have prepared for this economic downturn. We are looking for competitive opportunities and responding constructively. Unlike Alaska’s significant recession thirty years ago, also mainly caused by a significant drop in oil prices, this recession is not coming off of an overheated economy. We also believe our in-state financial industry is currently well-capitalized.” 

“As we study our important oil and gas industry in Alaska, we are encouraged by recent large discoveries of new fields on the North Slope that could contribute additional oil production in the future,” said Schierhorn. “In addition, we believe that the recent and expected stabilization of oil prices in the range of $50 to $60 per barrel, combined with emerging operating cost efficiencies, will continue to attract operating and capital expenditures in Alaska by the oil and gas industry, which are estimated to be in excess of $5 billion per year by our State Departments of Natural Resources and Revenue.”

Review of Income Statement

Consolidated Income Statement

In the fourth quarter of 2016, Northrim generated a return on average assets of 0.94% and a return on average equity of 7.96%, in line with the 0.90% return on average assets and 8.55% return on average equity posted by the 147 banks that make up the SNL U.S. Bank Index with assets between $1 billion and $5 billion as of September 30, 2016. The previously disclosed accounting correction and related change in accounting resulted in the Company’s return on average assets and return on average equity being lower by 0.12% and 0.98%, respectively, than they would have been without these changes. NIM and NIMTE* for 2016 were 4.14% and 4.20%, respectively, compared to 3.60% NIMTE* for the index peers. 1 

Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin

Net interest income contracted 2% to $13.9 million in the fourth quarter 2016 as compared to $14.2 million in the previous quarter, primarily due to a lower average yield on the loan portfolio in the current quarter which included the reversal of $187,000 in interest income on an $8.7 million commercial loan relationship that was moved to nonaccrual status during the current quarter. Net interest income fell 4% from $14.4 million in the year ago quarter mainly reflecting changes in the mix of earning assets. The reversal of interest income due to loans being moved to nonaccrual status in 2016 reduced net interest margin by 5 basis points in the fourth quarter and 2 basis points for the year. In 2015, recognition of interest income collected on nonaccrual loans did not impact net interest margin in the fourth quarter and increased net interest margin 5 basis points for the year. Net interest income was down 1% in 2016 at $56.4 million compared to the $56.9 million in 2015 as an increase in earning assets was offset by changes in the mix of earning assets. In 2016, reversals of interest income for loans that were moved to nonaccrual status exceeded recoveries of nonaccrual interest from nonperforming loans that paid off by $58,000, while in 2015, there were $666,000 in recoveries of nonaccrual interest from nonperforming loans that paid off in that year, net of reversals of interest income for loans that were moved to nonaccrual status.

NIM and NIMTE* decreased in both the fourth quarter and 2016 compared to prior year periods. “We have seen a gradual decline in our NIM primarily as a result of the flattening of the yield curve, slower growth in loan balances, and higher securities holdings,” said Schierhorn.

Northrim NIMTE*, which is primarily comprised of activities in the community banking segment, remained above peer average. “We continue to project NIM will stabilize in the 4.00% to 4.10% range and our NIMTE* will stabilize at the 4.05% and 4.15% range. We expect that the mix of our earning assets will continue to shift towards higher balances in investment securities, as we believe growth in the higher-yielding loan portfolio will continue to be adversely affected by the expected continued weakness of the Alaskan economy. We continue to believe that both NIM and NIMTE* will benefit in the event interest rates rise or the yield curve steepens, and would be adversely affected if interest rates fall and the yield curve continues to flatten,” said Latosha Frye, Chief Financial Officer.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $743,000 in the fourth quarter 2016 compared to $652,000 in the third quarter of 2016 and $376,000 in the fourth quarter 2015. The increase in the fourth quarter 2016 as compared to the third quarter of 2016 was primarily due to the increase in nonperforming loans to 1.33% of portfolio loans at December 31, 2016 compared to 0.93% at September 30, 2016. The allowance for loan losses to portfolio loans at the end of the fourth quarter of 2016 increased to 2.02% from 1.95% at September 30, 2016, and 1.85% at December 31, 2015.

Other Operating Income

In addition to home mortgage lending, Northrim has interests in other businesses that complement its core community banking activities. It provides financial services to businesses and individuals through these interests, including purchased receivables financing, employee benefit plans, and wealth management. These complementary business activities and other noninterest income contributed $13.8 million, or 14% of total revenues in 2016, as compared to $15.0 million or 15% of revenues in 2015.

Other operating income was $10.4 million, or 43% of total revenues in the fourth quarter 2016, which represented an increase of 3% from $10.1 million, or 41% of fourth quarter 2015 revenues and represented a decrease of 13% from $11.9 million, or 46% of third quarter 2016 revenues. The changes in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to both the preceding quarter and the year ago quarter are primarily due to changes in mortgage banking income. In 2016, other operating income decreased 3% to $43.3 million from $44.6 million in 2015, primarily reflecting a decrease of $742,000 in gains from dispositions of loans acquired and marked to fair value in connection with our acquisition of Alaska Pacific Bancshares, Inc. in 2014 and a $282,000 decrease in gains on the sale of securities during 2016 compared to 2015.

Other Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $18.4 million in the fourth quarter 2016 compared to $21.2 million in the third quarter of 2016 and $18.2 million in the fourth quarter 2015. The decrease from the previous quarter was primarily the result of the change in the accounting treatment for the earn-out payments, including the correction for the prior periods, which added $2.6 million to pre-tax expenses in the third quarter. The increase in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the same quarter a year ago was mainly due to higher salaries and other personnel expenses and higher other real estate owned ("OREO") expenses during the current quarter.

"We plan to convert our core system in the second quarter of 2017," said Frye. "We believe that this conversion will allow us to better serve our customers through improved functionality, including operating efficiencies that are expected to improve our customers' experience. Post-conversion, we also expect that our new core system will be more scalable, allowing for future growth without a commensurate increase in operating costs to accommodate that growth. While we expect that ongoing costs associated with our core operating system following the conversion will be unchanged, we estimate that we will incur additional expenses between $1.7 million and $2.0 million in 2017 related to this conversion. We anticipate that the majority of these additional expenses will be incurred in the second and third quarters of 2017."

Community Banking

Net income attributable to the Company for the community banking segment totaled $2.5 million, compared to $1.7 million in the third quarter 2016 and $3.1 million in the fourth quarter 2015. The previously disclosed non-cash accounting correction discussed above and the related change in accounting treatment was the primary reason that net income attributable to the Company for the community banking segment was higher in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter. Excluding this accounting correction, net income attributable to the Company for the community banking segment would have declined in the current quarter compared to the previous quarter, primarily as a result of the reversal of interest income for nonaccrual loans, a higher provision for loan losses, and higher seasonal marketing expenses during the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to the previous quarter. Compared to the year ago quarter, net income attributable to the Company for the community banking segment decreased mainly due to lower net interest income, a higher provision for loan losses, higher OREO expenses and data processing expenses, and lower other operating income. Year-to-date, net income attributable to the Company for the community banking segment totaled $9.9 million, or $1.41 per diluted share for 2016, down 21% from $12.4 million in 2015. Excluding the $1.8 million in additional after-tax expenses resulting from the change in accounting, net income attributable to the Company would have decreased by 6% in 2016 from 2015.

Home Mortgage Lending

“RML continues to outperform our original projections made when we purchased the business at the end of 2014,” said Frye. "Northrim bank continues to be one of the top mortgage lenders in Alaska, and this segment in our business continues to contribute to the strength of our franchise.”

Home mortgage lending contributed $7.0 million to pre-tax revenues and $0.15 to net earnings per share in the fourth quarter 2016, and $29.5 million to pre-tax revenue and $0.65 to earnings per share in the year ended 2016.

Total mortgage banking revenue in the fourth quarter 2016 was $7.0 million compared to $8.3 million in the preceding quarter and $6.3 million a year ago. “Net realized gains on the sale of mortgage loans decreased during the fourth quarter from the preceding quarter, primarily as a result of lower demand for mortgages in the community, which is primarily driven by normal seasonality, but increased compared to the year ago quarter. The change in the fair value of our mortgage loan commitments generated a loss in all three reporting quarters compared to a gain in the first and second quarters of 2016 primarily due to the decrease in total loan commitments in the three reporting quarters as compared to the increase in commitments in the first two quarters of 2016. We believe the fluctuation in commitments

is primarily driven by normal seasonality, and is also beginning to reflect the overall economic downturn” said Schierhorn. Mortgage commitments at the end of 2016 decreased to $62.4 million compared to $71.3 million at the end of 2015.

In the fourth quarter of 2015, Northrim began servicing the loans RML originates for the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, which accounted for approximately 20% of loans originated by RML in 2016. Northrim now services 1,110 loans in its $272.4 million servicing portfolio, which has more than doubled in size over the past year. Servicing income contributed $1.2 million to fourth quarter mortgage banking income, compared to $782,000 for the third quarter of 2016 and $820,000 in the fourth quarter a year ago.

Operating expenses in the home mortgage lending segment were $5.5 million in the fourth quarter 2016 compared to $6.3 million in the third quarter 2016 and $5.0 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. “Commission and other variable costs, which fluctuate with production, account for the majority of the changes from quarter to quarter. In addition, we continue to invest in infrastructure and technology to support the business,” said Frye.

Balance Sheet Review

Northrim’s assets were $1.53 billion at December 31, 2016, up 2% from a year ago and down 1% from September 30, 2016. The mix of assets at each period end continued to shift from portfolio loans to portfolio investments.

Average investment securities increased 7% from the preceding quarter and 12% from a year ago. The investment portfolio generated an average net tax equivalent yield of 1.48% for the fourth quarter of 2016. The average estimated duration of the investment portfolio was 1.8 years at December 31, 2016.

Average loans held for sale decreased 19% to $54.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the preceding quarter, and were almost unchanged from the same quarter a year ago, primarily reflecting the seasonality of the mortgage business and the slowing demand for home loans in the Alaska marketplace.

Year-over-year, portfolio loans decreased 1% to $975.0 million at December 31, 2016. Average portfolio loans in the fourth quarter were down less than 1% to $977.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to both the preceding and year ago quarters. Construction and land development loans, which are by nature short-term, declined 10% in the fourth quarter of 2016 and fell 18% year-over year. Partially offsetting this decline was the increase in commercial loans which grew 1% in the fourth quarter of 2016 and 2% year-over-year. Additionally, commercial real estate loans increased 3% year-over-year.

Alaskans' account for substantially all of Northrim’s deposit base, which is primarily made up of low-cost transaction accounts. Balances in transaction accounts at December 31, 2016, represented 90% of total deposits. At December 31, 2016, total deposits were $1.27 billion, down slightly from $1.28 billion from the immediate prior quarter and up from $1.24 billion a year ago. Year-over-year, fourth quarter average non-interest bearing deposits declined 4% in 2016 and average interest-bearing deposits fell 1%, bringing average total deposits down 2% to $1.27 billion in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $1.29 billion a year ago.

Shareholders’ equity increased 5% to $186.7 million, or $27.07 per share, at December 31, 2016, compared to $177.2 million, or $25.77 per share, a year ago. Tangible book value per share* was $24.70 at December 31, 2016, compared to $22.31 per share a year ago. Northrim remains well-capitalized with Tier 1 Capital to Risk Adjusted Assets of 14.54% at December 31, 2016.


Asset Quality

Asset quality declined during the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the previous quarter and the fourth quarter of 2015 with one $8.7 million commercial relationship moving from adversely classified to nonaccrual status during the fourth quarter 2016. In addition, a $5.9 million land development loan was paid down by $2.1 million and the remaining $3.3 million (after a $535,000 write-down) was moved into other real estate owned during the fourth quarter of 2016. Consequently, the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets, net of government guarantees increased during the fourth quarter of 2016 to 1.27% of assets from 0.78% of assets at September 30, 2016, and from 0.35% a year ago.

Adversely classified loans, net of government guarantees declined to $35.6 million at the end of the fourth quarter 2016 as compared to $41.5 million at the end of the third quarter of 2016 and increased from $30.8 million one year ago. Charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2016 were $591,000 compared to $238,000 in the fourth quarter of 2015. “None of these charge-offs were related to the oil sector,” said Frye. The following table details loan charge-offs, by industry:

Net non-performing loans were 1.33% of portfolio loans compared to 0.93% at the end of the preceding quarter and 0.22% a year ago. The increase compared to the same quarter of 2015 was primarily the result of the increase in nonaccrual loans that was discussed above.

Performing restructured loans, that were not included in nonaccrual loans at the end of the fourth quarter 2016, decreased to $6.1 million compared to $14.9 million at the end of the third quarter and $11.8 million at the end of the fourth quarter a year ago primarily due to the $8.7 million commercial relationship that was moved to nonaccrual loans discussed above. 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. The Company presents restructured loans that are performing separately from those that are classified as nonaccrual to provide more information on this category of loans and to differentiate between accruing performing and nonperforming restructured loans.

OREO increased to $6.6 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $2.8 million the preceding quarter and from $3.1 million a year ago primarily due to the movement of the $5.9 million land development loan noted above, net of the paydown, into OREO from nonaccrual loans in the fourth quarter of 2016.

10 of 22


At December 31, 2016, performing restructured loans plus nonperforming assets, net of government guarantees, decreased to 1.68% of total assets from 1.75% at the end of the preceding quarter due to the $2.1 million paydown of a land development loan discussed above.

The allowance for loan losses increased to 2.02% of portfolio loans at December 31, 2016, compared to 1.95% at September 30, 2016, and 1.85% at the end of the fourth quarter 2015 mainly due to the increase in nonperforming loans that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2016 as well as an increase in the Company's qualitative factors due to continued softening in the Alaska economy.

Adversely classified loans totaled $35.6 million, or 3.7% of portfolio loans, at the end of the fourth quarter 2016, compared to $41.5 million or 4.2% at September 30, 2016, and $30.8 million or 3.1% of portfolio loans at the end of the fourth quarter 2015. Adversely classified loans are loans that Northrim has classified as substandard, doubtful, and loss, net of government guarantees. As of December 31, 2016, $29.3 million, or 82% of adversely classified loans net of government guarantees are attributable to four relationships in the following sectors; one retail commercial business, one commercial real estate property, one medical business, and one oilfield services commercial business.

Northrim estimates that $57.4 million, or approximately 6% of portfolio loans as of December 31, 2016, has direct exposure to the oil and gas industry in Alaska, and $4.4 million of these loans are adversely classified. Northrim has an additional $52.1 million in unfunded commitments to companies with direct exposure to the oil and gas industry in Alaska, and none of these unfunded commitments are considered to be adversely classified loans. “We continue to have no loans to oil producers or exploration companies," said Frye. "We define direct exposure to the oil and gas sector as loans to borrowers that provide oilfield services and other companies that we have identified as significantly reliant upon activity in Alaska related to the oil and gas industry, such as lodging, equipment rental, transportation and other logistics services specific to this industry."
