Northrim BanCorp Reports Profits of $2.7 Million, or $0.41 Per Diluted Share, in 1Q13

ANCHORAGE, Alaska—April 23, 2013 -- Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:NRIM) today reported first quarter 2013 net profits rose 4% to $2.7 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, from $2.6 million, or $0.39 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2012. In the fourth quarter of 2012, Northrim earned $3.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, with results positively impacted by record earnings from its mortgage affiliate and a $300,000 negative loan loss provision generated from recoveries in its loan portfolio.

“This month the Alaska Legislature passed important new tax regulations to improve the state’s ability to attract new capital for energy exploration and production,” said Marc Langland, Chairman, President and CEO of Northrim Bancorp. “Alaska contributed just 8% of the nation’s oil in 2012, down from 25% in 1990, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Reversing the relative and absolute decline in our energy production is critical to the long-term economic health of Alaska.”

volumes last year, particularly in the fourth quarter of 2012. First quarter 2013 volumes were down from that pace as refinance activity is beginning to moderate, and we are seeing the normal seasonality that we experience every year. We continue to believe that Residential Mortgage’s loan origination volume will be a good contributor to 2013, although not at the same levels of the past year.”

Alaska Economic Update

According to the Associated General Contractors of Alaska annual Alaska Construction Spending Forecast, “Construction spending in Alaska in 2013 is estimated to be about $8.4 billion, up 8% from spending in 2012. Increased spending in the oil and gas sector will account for most of this growth. Spending in this sector is expected to be up 13%, from $3.2 billion last year to $3.6 billion in 2013. Also adding to expected growth, a large state capital budget for fiscal year 2013 and $453 million in general obligation bonds that voters approved for transportation projects in the November 2012 election.”

Balance Sheet Review

Northrim’s assets totaled $1.15 billion at March 31, 2013, compared to $1.16 billion three months earlier and $1.08 billion a year ago.

Investment securities totaled $226.2 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $208.6 million at December 31, 2012 and $222.2 million a year ago. At March 31, 2013, the investment portfolio was comprised of 62% U.S. Agency securities (primarily Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Farm Credit Bank debt), 11% Alaskan municipality, utility, or state agency securities, 26% corporate securities, and 1% stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle. At March 31, 2013, the average estimated duration of the investment portfolio was eighteen months, and the portfolio generated an average net tax equivalent yield of 1.46% for the first quarter of 2013. “We are continuing to keep our investment portfolio in near-term maturities to fund loan growth and reduce the risk to principal balances when interest rates start to rise,” said Joe Schierhorn, Chief Financial Officer.

“Demand for business loans is improving, and our loan officers are working hard to bring in new customers and expand relationships with existing clients,” said Beedle. “We increased our portfolio loans 2% in the first quarter of 2013 and 9% year-over-year, as our efforts to bring in new customers are continuing to make progress.” Portfolio loans totaled $721.6 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $704.2 million at the end of December 31, 2012, and $664.3 million a year ago. At March 31, 2013, commercial loans grew 6% in the quarter and 18% year over year to $289.4 million and accounted for 40% of portfolio loans, compared to $273.4 million at December 31, 2012, and $246.2 million a year ago. Commercial real estate loans, of which 22% are owner occupied, totaled $347.9 million at March 31, 2013, and accounted for 48% of portfolio loans, compared to a total of $344.6 million at December 31, 2012, and $345.7 million at March 31, 2012. Construction and land development loans totaled $52.8 million at March 31, 2013, and accounted for 7% of portfolio loans, compared to $53.6 million at December 31, 2012 and $36.6 million at March 31, 2012. “The residential construction market is rebounding, and we continue to be a leading lender for builders in the greater Anchorage market,” Beedle added.

Loans held for sale decreased to $11.5 million at March 31, 2013, from $11.7 million at December 31, 2012 and $12.3 million a year ago. The average balance for the quarter for loans held for sale decreased to $6.7 million at March 31, 2013, from $19.2 million at December 31, 2012 and $15.3 million a year ago, reflecting the seasonality in the mortgage market. Northrim purchases these loans from its mortgage affiliate, Residential Mortgage, pending sale into the secondary market.

The mix of deposits continues to improve with balances in transaction accounts at March 31, 2013 representing 90% of total deposits, up from 88% a year ago. At March 31, 2013, total deposits were $954.9 million, down 2% from $970.1 million at December 31, 2012, and up 6% from $901.4 million a year ago.

Noninterest-bearing demand deposits at March 31, 2013 were up 14% from a year ago, and interest-bearing demand deposits grew 2% over the same period. At quarter end, money market balances increased 10% and savings account balances were up 12% from year-ago levels, while the Alaska CD (a flexible certificate of deposit program) balances were down 2%. Time deposit balances fell 14% during the past twelve months.

Shareholders’ equity increased 8% to $138.1 million, or $21.19 per share, at March 31, 2013, compared to $128.2 million, or $19.80 per share, a year ago. At December 31, 2012, shareholder equity was $136.4 million, or $20.93 per share. Tangible book value per share was $19.95 at March 31, 2013, compared to $18.51 per share a year ago and $19.67 per share at the end of 2012. Northrim remains well-capitalized with Tier 1 Capital to Risk Adjusted Assets of 15.07% at March 31, 2013.

Asset Quality

“Asset quality has continued to improve through the concerted efforts of our lending departments,” said Chris Knudson, Chief Operating Officer. Nonperforming loans declined to 0.61% of portfolio loans from 1.03% a year ago. The ratio of nonperforming assets (NPAs) to total assets dropped to 0.77% at March 31, 2013, down from 1.25% a year ago.

NPAs were $8.9 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $9.1 million in the preceding quarter and $13.5 million a year ago. Nonperforming loans declined to $4.4 million at March 31, 2013, as compared to $4.5 million at December 31, 2012 and $6.8 million a year ago. Other real estate owned (OREO) was $4.5 million at the end of the first quarter of 2013 and at year end 2012, compared to $6.7 million at the end of the first quarter of 2012.

Loans measured for impairment totaled $11.6 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $13.1 million at December 31, 2012, and $12.3 million in the first quarter a year ago.

At March 31, 2013, there were $3.3 million of restructured loans included in nonaccrual loans, as compared to $3.5 million at December 31, 2012, and $4.3 million at March 31, 2012. At March 31, 2013, there were $6.6 million in performing restructured loans that were not included in nonaccrual loans, as compared to $8.6 million at December 31, 2012, and $4.9 million at March 31, 2012. “Loans to 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 378% at March 31, 2013, compared to 362% three months earlier, and 239% a year ago. The allowance for loan losses was $16.6 million, or 2.31% of portfolio loans at March 31, 2013, compared to $16.4 million, or 2.33% of portfolio loans at the end of the preceding quarter and $16.3 million, or 2.45% of portfolio loans a year ago.

Review of Operations:

Revenue and Net Interest Income

Total revenues, which include net interest income plus other operating income, continue to benefit from contributions from our complementary financial business services. First quarter total revenues were $13.7 million compared to $15.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $13.6 million in the first quarter of 2012.

First quarter 2013 net interest income declined 2% to $10.6 million, compared to $10.8 million in the immediate prior quarter and was up 2% from $10.4 million in the first quarter of 2012.

“Loan growth and a healthy mix in our deposit balances are helping to offset the margin pressure created by low interest rates,” Schierhorn noted. “In addition, our net interest margin continues to be well above the average for the SNL Bank

and Thrift Index of 3.02% at December 31, 2012.” In the first quarter of 2013, Northrim’s net interest margin was 4.32%, up 7 basis points from 4.25% in the fourth quarter of 2012 and down 21 basis points from 4.53% in the first quarter a year ago.

Provision for Loan Losses

The loan loss provision was $150,000 in the first quarter of 2013, compared to $89,000 in the first quarter a year ago. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the loan loss provision was negative $300,000 due in part to net loan recoveries of $218,000 that were realized during that period.

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 first quarter of 2013, total other operating income was down 28% to $3.1 million from $4.3 million in the preceding quarter and down 2% compared to $3.2 million in the first quarter a year ago. “As noted earlier, contributions from our mortgage affiliate hit record levels in the fourth quarter of 2012 and returned to more normal levels in the first quarter,” said Knudson. “In addition, we have begun a renovation project on our headquarters building, which is reducing rental income from this space by approximately $160,000 per quarter. We anticipate completion of the project later this year and plan to lease the newly renovated space in 2014.”

Purchased receivable income contributed $702,000 to first quarter 2013 revenues, compared to $776,000 in the preceding quarter and $712,000 in the first quarter a year ago. The purchased receivable income varies from quarter to quarter depending upon the financing needs of customers.

Employee benefit plan income contributed $569,000 to first quarter 2013 revenues, compared to $604,000 in the preceding quarter and $540,000 in the first quarter of 2012.

Service charges on deposit accounts continue to shrink due to declines in overdraft fees that have occurred in part due to regulatory changes. In the first quarter of 2013 service charges were down 1% to $525,000 from $528,000 in the preceding quarter and fell 8% from $568,000 in the year ago quarter. In the first quarter of 2013, electronic banking income contributed $504,000, a decrease of 10% from the fourth quarter of 2012 and an increase of 4% from the year ago quarter. Gain on sale of securities contributed $218,000 to first quarter 2013 revenues compared to $63,000 in the preceding quarter and $27,000 in the year ago quarter.

Other income decreased in the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to decreased rental income from vacant space that is being renovated in the company’s headquarters building. Other income was $379,000 for the first quarter of 2013, a decrease of 55% from the fourth quarter of 2012 and a decrease of 34% from the first quarter of 2012. The remainder of the decrease in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the preceding quarter is primarily due to the receipt of miscellaneous interest income in the fourth quarter of 2012 related to an income tax refund.

Other Operating Expenses

Overhead costs decreased in the quarter ending March 31, 2013 as compared to fourth quarter of 2012 primarily due to lower OREO and marketing expenses. Total operating expenses decreased 8% to $9.7 million during the first quarter compared to $10.6 million in the fourth quarter last year and decreased 1% from $9.8 million in the first quarter a year ago. Compensation costs were relatively stable at $5.7 million in the first quarter, increasing 1% in the quarter and year-over-year.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $1.1 million, or 28% of first quarter 2013 pretax income, compared to $1.6 million, or 33% of pretax income in the preceding quarter and $1.0 million, or 28% of pretax income in the first quarter a year ago.

¹ This calculation annualizes net loan charge-offs (recoveries) for three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and represents
actual year-to-date net loan recoveries of $1.5 million divided by actual year-to-date average loans of $687.9 million for the
year ended December 31, 2012.

² Tangible book value is a non-GAAP measure defined as shareholders' equity, less intangible assets, divided by shares
outstanding.
	Book value per share	Tangible book value per share
Northrim BanCorp shareholder's equity	138,025,000		138,025,000
Less: goodwill and intangible assets	N/A		(8,111,000)
	138,025,000		129,914,000
Divided by shares outstanding	6,513,096		6,513,096
	$ 21.19		$ 19.95

³ 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 common equity to assets would be total equity to
total assets. Total equity to total assets was 12.00% at March 31, 2013 as compared to 11.75% at December 31, 2012 and
11.91% at March 31, 2012.

⁴Tax-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 2013 and 2012.

⁵ The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP ratio that is calculated by dividing other operating expense, exclusive of intangible
asset amortization, by the sum of net interest income and other operating income.
