NEWS RELEASE

Northrim BanCorp Reports Earnings of $11.9 Million, or $1.84 Per Diluted Share, in 3Q20 compared to $7.5 Million, or $1.11 Per Diluted Share in 3Q19

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - October 26, 2020 - Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:NRIM) (“Northrim” or the "Company") today reported net income of $11.86 million, or $1.84 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $9.90 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2020, and $7.54 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, in the third quarter a year ago. Increased production in the Home Mortgage Lending segment and fee and interest income from the Small Business Administration's ("SBA") Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans, as well as significant loan and deposit growth contributed to record profitability for the quarter.

Net income for the first nine months of 2020 was $22.79 million, or $3.52 per diluted share, compared to $16.11 million, or $2.35 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2019. The provision for loan losses increased to $3.0 million in the first nine months of 2020, compared to a $1.0 million benefit for loan loss provisions in the first nine months of 2019.

“The effort put forth by all of our employees to meet the needs of our community during the pandemic has resulted in tremendous growth during the last two quarters,” said Joe Schierhorn, President and CEO. “Strong residential mortgage business along with continued production of PPP and commercial loans during the quarter generated increased income and had a meaningful impact on loan and deposit growth.

“Several events came together during the first nine months of 2020 that contributed to our profitability this year including economic stimulus programs such as the PPP, expanded unemployment benefits, repayment and foreclosure forbearance and other accommodations. These programs have been helpful to Alaskans and to Alaska businesses; however, going forward, we anticipate most of these programs will be significantly curtailed or eliminated. Consequently there will be less stimulus support for the Alaskan economy,” Schierhorn said.

“Northrim’s participation in the PPP helped service the needs of our customers and the community,” Schierhorn continued. “We continued to offer PPP loans to new and existing customers up until the last day of the SBA program in August. According to the SBA, Northrim originated more PPP loans in Alaska than any other financial institution in Alaska, funding 23% of all PPP loans through the period ending September 30, 2020. We were able to help 2,888 Alaskan customers receive PPP funding, which is estimated to have helped support approximately 26,0001 Alaskan jobs. Additionally, we implemented several forms of assistance to help our customers experiencing financial hardship as a result of the pandemic.”
1Estimated based on the University of Alaska's Analysis of Paycheck Protection Program Loans in Alaska report which indicated 114,000 potential jobs retained (obtained from total of Alaska PPP applications)

COVID-19 Issues:

Industry Exposure: Northrim has identified various industries that may be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant decline in oil prices.

Alaska Economic Update
(Note: sources for information included in this section are included on page 12.)

When 2020 began, it appeared that Alaska’s economy was on track for a solid year of growth. A three year mild recession starting in 2016 ended in the 4th quarter of 2018. For the next 18 consecutive months, Alaska’s total number of jobs grew month over month compared to the prior year according to the State Department of Labor ("DOL"). That came to an abrupt end in April of 2020 when the full force of the COVID pandemic shocked the global economy.

Alaska faced unemployment rates as high as 13.5% in April after being as low as 5.2% in March of 2020. The DOL has reported that unemployment rates have moderated each of the last four months since the high in April. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate improved from 11.6% in July to 7.4% in August. In August of 2020, Alaska had approximately 37,000 fewer payroll jobs than August of 2019.

Oil prices have been fluctuating significantly in 2020 as the global economy reacts to the COVID-19 pandemic. Average monthly Alaska North Slope (“ANS”) crude oil prices began the year averaging $65.48 for the month of January. The virus concerns began to have an effect when monthly ANS prices declined to $54.48 in February and $33.21 in March. In the second quarter, ANS prices hit a monthly average low of $16.54 in April and increased to $28.21 in May. The ANS price has firmed up in the $40 range for the last four months. ANS averaged $41.78 in June, $43.56 in July, $43.36 in August and $40.42 in September.

Despite the serious economic challenges of COVID, there has been extensive government spending to offset the negative impacts of shutdown mandates in the interest of public health. “For Alaska this has meant approximately $5.6 billion in total direct aid to date. To put that in perspective, the Gross State Product ("GSP") of all annual economic activity in Alaska was measured at $45.6 billion in the second quarter of 2020. So that is equivalent to 12% or 1/8th of Alaska’s entire GSP,” stated Mark Edwards, EVP Chief Credit Officer and Bank Economist.

The stimulus is most easily seen in the personal income data. The Federal Bureau of Economic Analysis ("BEA") reported personal income for Alaska rose by $2.6 billion or 24% in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2020. This was largely a result of a $4.9 billion increase in government transfer payments. There was a $2.2 billion reduction in wage income and a $139 million decrease in investment and rental income. In other words, the increase in government transfer payments was more than double the loss in wages and decrease in dividends, interest and rental income combined.

Inflation is still very low in the U.S. and even negative in Alaska. The U.S. inflation rate is up 1.3% over the last 12 months according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics ("BLS"). This has been consistently below the Federal Reserve’s target rate of 2%. The BLS reported the consumer price index for Anchorage has actually been a negative 1.5% over the last 12 months. Notable declines in prices include gasoline -17.3% and clothing -10.1%. Food and beverage prices have risen by 5.2% and health care costs are up 7.7% according to the BLS.

The housing market has been remarkably stable and even positive in Alaska in 2020. Prices have increased on average 4.3% in Anchorage, 7.5% in the Mat-Su, 4% in Fairbanks, 7.2% on the Kenai Peninsula and 11% in Kodiak according to the Multiple Listing Service ("MLS"). The number of homes sold is also higher in all these markets except Kenai, which is down just slightly from last year.

Alaska’s delinquency and foreclosure levels continue to be better than most of the nation. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, Alaska’s foreclosure rate was 0.60% at the end of the first quarter 2020 and it declined to 0.54% in the second quarter. That compares to 0.73% and 0.68% at the end of the first and second quarter for the U.S.

The Mortgage Bankers Association national survey reported that the percentage of delinquent mortgage loans in Alaska was 3.23% in the first quarter of 2020 and rose to 7.69% in the second quarter. The comparable U.S. rate was 4% in the first quarter of 2020 and 7.97% in the second quarter. Borrowers who took advantage of three month forbearance programs to delay payments show up as technically delinquent until they are approved for a formal restructure of their missed loan payments or until they catch up on the three months of missed payments.

Review of Income Statement

Consolidated Income Statement

In the third quarter of 2020, Northrim generated a ROAA of 2.31% and a ROAE of 22.10%, compared to 2.04% and 19.44%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2020 and 1.90% and 14.45%, respectively, in the third quarter a year ago. Northrim’s ROAA and ROAE are well above peer averages posted by the SNL Small Cap U.S. Bank Index with total market capitalization between $250 million and $1 billion as of June 30, 20201.
1As of June 30, 2020, the SNL Small Cap US Bank Index tracked 112 banks with total common market capitalization between $250 million to $1B for the following ratios: NIMTE* of 3.23%. ROAA 0.44%, and ROAE 4.17% .

Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin

Net interest income increased 12% to $18.3 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $16.3 million in the third quarter of 2019 and increased 5% compared to $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2020. Interest income benefited from the growth in the loan portfolio during the third quarter of 2020, as well as the amortization of PPP loan fees.

NIMTE* was 3.93% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to 4.02% in the preceding quarter and 4.65% in the third quarter a year ago. “The decline in our NIMTE* compared to the prior quarter was largely due to the 175 basis point reduction in short-term interest rates during the last twelve months and the resulting effect on yields in the loan portfolio,” said Jed Ballard, Chief Financial Officer. “Also notable was the impact of SBA PPP loans, which reduced our NIMTE* by 33 basis points during the third quarter of 2020 compared to what our NIMTE* would have been if we had not made any SBA PPP loans or 4.26%. Year-to-date, SBA PPP loans decreased our NIMTE* by 18 basis points compared to what our NIMTE* would have been if we had not made any SBA PPP loans or 4.27%.” Northrim’s NIMTE* continues to remain above the peer average posted by the SNL Small Cap U.S. Bank Index with total market capitalization between $250 million and $1 billion as of June 30, 20201.

The yield on interest earning assets in the third quarter of 2020 was 4.25%, down 13 basis points from the second quarter of 2020 and down 83 basis points compared to the third quarter a year ago. The cost of funds was 54 basis points in the third quarter of 2020, down 3 basis points compared to the preceding quarter and down 14 basis points compared to the third quarter a year ago.

Provision for Loan Losses

Northrim recorded a provision for loan losses of $567,000 in the third quarter of 2020. This compares to a $404,000 provision in the second quarter of 2020, and a benefit for loan losses of $2.1 million in the third quarter a year ago. “The provision for loan losses during the quarter primarily reflects management's assessment of risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the reduction in oil prices and a slowing Alaska economy, as well as the growth in the loan portfolio excluding PPP loans,” said Ballard. The total allowance for loan losses to portfolio loans increased at September 30, 2020, compared to June 30, 2020 primarily due to an increase qualitative factors and decreased compared to September 30, 2019 primarily due to the increase in SBA PPP loans at September 30, 2020 as these loans are 100% guaranteed .

Nonperforming loans, net of government guarantees, improved during the quarter to $11.0 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $12.7 million at June 30, 2020, and $15.5 million at September 30, 2019. The allowance for loan losses was 196% of nonperforming loans, net of government guarantees at the end of the third quarter of 2020, compared to 162% three months earlier and 123% a year earlier.

Other Operating Income

In addition to home mortgage lending, Northrim has interests in other businesses that complement its core community banking activities, including purchased receivables financing and wealth management. Other operating income contributed $21.6 million, or 54% of total third quarter 2020 revenues, as compared to $17.5 million, or 50% of revenues in the second quarter of 2020, and $10.5 million, or 39% of revenues in the third quarter of 2019. In the first nine months of 2020, other operating income totaled $45.6 million, or 47% of revenues, compared to $27.6 million, or 37% of revenues in the first nine months of 2019. The primary drivers of changes in other operating income are variability in the mortgage market, which is seasonal and cyclical and also dependent on changes in mortgage rates, and from the fair value changes of marketable equity securities. The fair value mark-to-market of the marketable equity securities portfolio increased other income by $375,000 in the third quarter of 2020, compared to a $149,000 increase in the second quarter of 2020 and a $130,000 increase in the third quarter of 2019. There was $726,000 in interest rate swap income in the third quarter of 2020. This compares to $17,000 in interest

rate swap fee income in the preceding quarter and no swap income in the third quarter of 2019 on the execution of interest rate swaps related to the Company's commercial lending operations. Additionally, purchased receivable income is down as those customers were reportedly using resources from PPP loans, resulting in decreased outstanding purchased receivable balances in the third quarter of 2020.

Other Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $23.5 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $22.7 million in the second quarter of 2020, and $19.3 million in the third quarter of 2019. Factors impacting other operating expenses in the three and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2020 include higher compensation costs related to the mortgage banking operations. In the first nine months of 2020, operating expenses were $65.0 million, up from $56.2 million in the first nine months of 2019.

Income Tax Provision

For the third quarter of 2020, Northrim recorded a larger effective tax rate as compared to the second quarter of 2020 as a result of a decrease in tax credits and tax exempt interest income as a percentage of net income, as well as the reversal of a $454,000 accrual of tax expense in the second quarter of 2020. The Company expensed $454,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018 to accrue for a potential increase in tax expense related to an audit that was performed by the State of Alaska for tax years 2014-2016. The Company appealed the State of Alaska's decision on this matter and reversed the tax accrual in the second quarter of 2020 because the company believes that it is more likely than not that the court will rule in the Company's favor. In the third quarter of 2020, Northrim recorded $4.0 million in state and federal income tax expense for an effective tax rate of 25.2% compared to $2.0 million, or 16.9% in the second quarter of 2020 and $2.0 million, or 21.2% in the third quarter a year ago. For the first nine months of 2020, Northrim recorded $6.3 million in state and federal income tax expense, for an effective tax rate of 21.5% compared to $4.3 million and 21.2% for the same period in 2019.

Community Banking

“We are proud of the work we are doing to address the needs of our customers in our communities, and as a result we are growing our market share across all of our major markets,” said Schierhorn. “Our new branch in Fairbanks is on track to open before the end of the year, and in March we opened a loan production office in Kodiak. We will continue to look for ways to expand our branch network.”

Net interest income in the Community Banking segment totaled $17.4 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $16.6 million in the second quarter of 2020 and $16.0 million in the third quarter of 2019.

Home Mortgage Lending

“The significant activity in the mortgage market has continued through the third quarter of 2020, due to the low interest rate environment and the hard work of our lending teams,” said Ballard. “Refinance activity was particularly robust, up 77% compared to the third quarter a year ago, while strong home purchases in our market also continue to increase.”

During the third quarter of 2020, mortgage loan volume was $364.2 million, of which 61% was for new home purchases, compared to $381.1 million and 35% of loans funded for new home purchases in the second quarter of 2020, and $241.8 million, of which 67% was for new home purchases in the third quarter of 2019.

Loan fundings increased during the quarter and year-over-year driven by both increased refinance activity and new home purchase activity. This was partially offset by the net change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights, which decreased mortgage banking income by $1.5 million during the third quarter of 2020.

“Our mortgage servicing business, which we initiated to service loans primarily for the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation, was essentially flat during the third quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2020 as a result of the significant refinance activity,” said Ballard. As of September 30, 2020, Northrim serviced 2,712 loans in its $655.7 million home-mortgage-servicing portfolio, which is a slight increase from the $655.2 million serviced for the second quarter of 2020, and a 3% increase from the $634.1 million serviced a year ago. Delinquencies in the loan servicing portfolio totaled $36.9 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $11.6 million at September 30, 2019. Mortgage servicing revenue contributed $2.0 million to revenues in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2020 and $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2019. As a result of COVID-19 approximately 6% of mortgages serviced were in forbearance as of September 30, 2020 as compared to 8% as of June 30, 2020 and 2% as of September 30, 2019.

Total mortgage servicing income fluctuates based on the amount of mortgage servicing rights originated during the period and changes in the fair value of those servicing rights, which is driven by interest rate volatility and the amount of serviced mortgages that payoff during the period as well as fluctuations in estimated prepayment speeds based on published industry metrics. The change in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights was a decrease of $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to a decrease of $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2020 and a decrease of $662,000 for the third quarter of 2019.

Northrim’s total assets increased to $2.10 billion at September 30, 2020, up 4% from the preceding quarter and up 30% from a year ago. Northrim’s loan-to-deposit ratio was 83% at September 30, 2020, up from 82% at June 30, 2020 and 77% at September 30, 2019.

Average interest-earning assets were $1.87 billion in the third quarter of 2020, up 6% from $1.76 billion in the second quarter of 2020 and up 33% from $1.41 billion in the third quarter a year ago. The average yield on interest-earning assets was 4.25% in the third quarter of 2020, down from 4.38% in the preceding quarter and 5.08% in the third quarter a year ago.

“In addition to the $22.1 million in new PPP loans, much of the loan production during the third quarter resulted from new customers we obtained through the PPP process,” said Ballard. At September 30, 2020, commercial loans represented 31% of total loans, PPP loans represented 25% of total loans, commercial real estate owner occupied loans comprised 10% of total loans, commercial real estate non-owner occupied loans comprised 24% of

total loans, and construction loans made up 8% of total loans. Portfolio loans were $1.49 billion at September 30, 2020, up 4% from the preceding quarter and up 44% from a year ago. Portfolio loans excluding the impact from PPP were $1.13 billion at September 30, 2020, up 3% from the preceding quarter and up 9% from a year ago.

Alaskans continue to account for substantially all of Northrim’s deposit base, which is primarily made up of low-cost transaction accounts. At September 30, 2020, balances in transaction accounts represented 90% of total deposits. Total deposits were $1.81 billion at September 30, 2020, up 4% from $1.74 billion at June 30, 2020, and up 34% from $1.35 billion a year ago. Demand deposits increased 51% year-over-year to $697.4 million at September 30, 2020. Average interest-bearing deposits were up 6% to $1.08 billion with an average cost of 0.49% in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $1.02 billion and an average cost of 0.53% in the second quarter of 2020, and up 24% compared to $870.4 million and an average cost of 0.62% in the third quarter of 2019.

“Our lenders, retail bankers and commercial cash managers have worked hard to meet the needs of our existing and new customers, and as a result we are capturing market share in all of our markets by adding new relationships with strong future growth opportunities,” said Michael Martin, the Bank's Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel. “Deposits were up during the quarter due to new customer relationships, as our suite of deposit products, along with superior “Customer First Service” continue to attract businesses and consumers to Northrim.”

Shareholders’ equity was $214.6 million, or $34.18 per share, at September 30, 2020, compared to $206.9 million, or $32.49 per share, at June 30, 2020 and $204.0 million, or $31.20 per share, a year ago. Tangible book value per share* was $31.62 at September 30, 2020, compared to $29.97 at June 30, 2020, and $28.74 per share a year ago. Northrim continues to maintain capital levels in excess of the requirements to be categorized as “well-capitalized” with Tier 1 Capital to Risk Adjusted Assets of 14.11% at September 30, 2020, compared to 13.99% at June 30, 2020, and 14.57% at September 30, 2019.

Asset Quality

“While several of our credit quality metrics improved during the third quarter of this year compared to three months earlier, we are being diligent with monitoring the loan portfolio given the current economic environment,” said Martin.

Nonperforming assets ("NPAs") net of government guarantees were $17.9 million at September 30, 2020, down from $20.8 million at June 30, 2020 and $21.5 million a year ago. Of the NPAs, $7.8 million, or 44% are nonaccrual loans and nonperforming purchased receivables related to five commercial relationships. Two of these relationships, which totaled $3.3 million at September 30, 2020, are businesses in the medical industry.

Net adversely classified loans improved to $14.5 million at September 30, 2020, as compared to $15.7 million at June 30, 2020, and $24.2 million a year ago. Net loan recoveries were $463,000 in the third quarter of 2020, compared to net loan charge offs of $768,000 in the second quarter of 2020, and net loan recoveries of $694,000 in the third quarter of 2019. Adversely classified loans are loans that Northrim has classified as substandard, doubtful, and loss, net of government guarantees. As of September 30, 2020, $9.6 million, or 67% of net adversely classified loans are attributable to nine relationships with five loans to commercial businesses, two loans to medical businesses, and two loans to oilfield services commercial businesses.

Performing restructured loans that were not included in nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2020, net of government guarantees were $865,000, down from $966,000 three months earlier and from $1.5 million a year ago. 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, unless it is the result of the COVID-19

global pandemic. 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.

As of September 30, 2020, Northrim had $62.6 million, or 6% of portfolio loans excluding SBA PPP loans, in the tourism sector; $54.2 million, or 5% of portfolio loans excluding SBA PPP loans, in the aviation (non-tourism) sector; $83.2 million, or 7% of total portfolio loans excluding SBA PPP loans, in the healthcare sector; $38.9 million, or 3% in the accommodations sector; $23.0 million, or 2% in retail loans; and $27.1 million, or 2% in the restaurant sector.

Northrim estimates that $66.0 million, or approximately 6% of portfolio loans excluding SBA PPP loans, had direct exposure to the oil and gas industry in Alaska, as of September 30, 2020, and $1.9 million of these loans are adversely classified. As of September 30, 2020, Northrim has an additional $63.6 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. Northrim defines direct exposure to the oil and gas sector as loans to borrowers that provide oilfield services and other companies that have been 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.

*Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of the Company, they have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under GAAP.

Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis

Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis ("NIMTE") 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 28.43% in both 2020 and 2019. The most comparable GAAP measure is net interest margin and the following table sets forth the reconciliation of NIMTE to net interest margin.
