Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:NRIM) (“Northrim” or the "Company")
today reported net income of $7.2 million, or $1.20 per diluted
share, in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $8.1 million, or
$1.31 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2021, and $12.2
million, or $1.94 per diluted share, in the first quarter a year
ago. The decline in first quarter 2022 profitability was due to a
decline in net interest income and mortgage banking income, a lower
benefit for the provision for credit losses relative to prior
comparable quarters and an increased provision for income taxes.
These declines were partially offset by a decrease in expenses
primarily due to lower mortgage loan origination commissions
relative to prior comparable quarters.
Dividends per share increased to $0.41 in the
first quarter of 2022, compared to $0.38 per share in the fourth
quarter of 2021 and $0.37 per share in the first quarter of 2021,
reflecting management's and the Board of Directors’ plan to
continue increasing returns to the Company's shareholders. Share
repurchases also continued with 133,105 shares, or 2% of shares
outstanding, repurchased in the first quarter.
“The first quarter set the stage for continued
profitable growth at Northrim with our efforts to build on our
Paycheck Protection Program success benefiting from increasing
economic activity and an improving interest rate environment,” said
Joe Schierhorn, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Expense
discipline continues to be a key focus which we believe will
increase operating leverage as we expect to grow revenue while
maintaining expenses.”

1st Quarter Update:
“We continue to expand our banking relationships
with customers obtained through PPP and expect the trend to
continue for the next few quarters,” said Joe Schierhorn, President
and Chief Executive Officer.
- Growth and Paycheck
Protection Program:
- In 2020 and 2021, Northrim funded a
total of nearly 5,800 PPP loans totaling $612.6 million to both
existing and new customers. Management estimates that Northrim
funded approximately 24% of the number and 32% of the value of all
Alaska PPP second round loans.
- As of March 31, 2022, PPP has
resulted in 2,344 new customers totaling $64.6 million in non-PPP
loans, and $121.1 million in new deposit balances.
- As of March 31, 2022, Northrim
customers had received forgiveness through the U.S. Small Business
Administration ("SBA") on 4,988 PPP loans totaling $548.3 million,
of which 537 PPP loans totaling $56.9 million were forgiven in the
first quarter of 2022, and 4,451 PPP loans totaling $491.4 million
were forgiven in 2021. Of the PPP loans forgiven in the first
quarter of 2022, 509 loans totaling $56.1 million related to PPP
round two. As of March 31, 2022, approximately 99% of PPP round one
and 74% of PPP round two loans have been forgiven.
- Customer
Accommodations: The Company implemented assistance to help
its customers experiencing financial challenges as a result of
COVID-19 in addition to participation in PPP lending. As of March
31, 2022, these accommodations include interest only and deferral
options on loan payments. The total outstanding principal balance
of loan modifications due to the impacts of COVID-19 as of March
31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021 were as
follows:

These loan accommodations are scheduled to
return to normal principal and interest payments in 2022, with
$36.6 million, or 81% of the $45.1 million in COVID-19 loan
accommodations outstanding as of March 31, 2022 scheduled to return
to normal principal and interest payments by the end of the second
quarter of 2022.
- Provision for Credit
Losses: Northrim booked a benefit for credit loss
provisions of $150,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
2022. This compares to a benefit for credit loss
provisions of $1.1 million during the previous quarter and a $1.5
million benefit for credit losses in the first quarter a year ago.
The provision for the current quarter was recorded using a
discounted cash flow model under the Current Expected Credit Loss
("CECL") methodology and reflects expected lifetime credit losses
on loans and off-balance sheet unfunded loan commitments. The
decrease in the provision for credit loss in the first quarter of
2022 is primarily the result of changes in the timing of estimated
future cash flows and improvement in economic assumptions used to
estimate lifetime credit losses in the loan portfolio which were
only partially offset by growth in core loans.
- Credit Quality:
Nonaccrual loans, net of government guarantees decreased to $8.7
million at March 31, 2022, compared to $10.7 million in the
previous quarter. Net adversely classified loans decreased to $11.7
million at March 31, 2022, compared to $16.9 million in the first
quarter a year ago. Net loan charge-offs were $262,000 in the first
quarter of 2022, compared to net loan recoveries of $44,000 in the
first quarter of 2021.
- Capital
Management: At March 31, 2022, the Company’s tangible
common equity to tangible assets* ratio was 8.04% and the capital
of Northrim Bank (the "Bank") was well in excess of all regulatory
requirements. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company
repurchased 133,105 shares of common stock under the previously
announced share repurchase programs, with 200,619 shares remaining
of the 300,000 shares previously authorized for repurchase in
February 2022.
Alaska Economic Update(Note:
sources for information included in this section are included
below.)
The Alaska economy showed broad improvements in
2021 and the first quarter of 2022 as it rebounded from the
pandemic lows of 2020. Mark Edwards, EVP Chief Credit Officer and
Bank Economist summarizes, “A steady recovery of jobs in nearly
every sector resulted from improved tourism, rising oil prices, a
strong housing market and consumer liquidity from government
stimulus programs. We believe that the potential effects of rising
interest rates, high inflation, and supply chain disruptions are
the most pressing issues facing the economy in 2022.”
The Alaska Department of Labor ("DOL") has
released data through February of 2022. The DOL reports total
payroll jobs in Alaska in February 2022 increased 2.4% or 7,100
jobs compared to February of 2021. The Oil and Gas sector showed
the fastest year over year increase of 10.8%. Tourism related jobs
were the hardest hit from the pandemic travel restrictions. The
Leisure and Hospitality sector improved 10.2% since February of
2021. Other sectors showing improvement over the last 12 months
include Wholesale Trade (+8.3%); Other Services (+8%); Construction
(+6%); and Trade, Warehousing, and Utilities (+4.7%). The only
private sector payroll jobs to decline year over year were
Information with 100 fewer jobs, down 2.1%, and Health Care with
200 fewer jobs, down 0.5%. The Government sector was up slightly
0.4%, an increase of 300 jobs through February 2022 as compared to
the preceding February.
Alaska’s Gross State Product (“GSP”), seasonally
adjusted at annualized rates, for the fourth quarter of 2021 was up
3% to $58 billion, according to the Federal Bureau of Economic
Analysis ("BEA") in a report that was released March 31, 2022.
Alaska’s GSP declined at an annualized rate of 7% in the first
quarter of 2021, but improved 4%, 0.4% and 3% in the second, third
and fourth quarters of 2021, respectively. The BEA’s preliminary
estimate for Alaska is an overall annual growth in GSP of 0.3% in
2021.
Alaska’s seasonally adjusted personal income in
2021 was $49.2 billion, an improvement of 5.9% for the year
according to the BEA. Alaska’s personal income grew 3.3% annualized
in the fourth quarter of 2021, over the third quarter, primarily
due to a $336 million increase in wage earnings for the quarter.
This resulted from inflationary pressure on salaries and an
improvement in the total number of jobs. The Health Care sector had
the largest increase in wage earnings in Alaska for the fourth
quarter and for all of 2021. There were also notable improvements
in total wage earnings in Accommodations and Food Services; Retail
Trade; Transportation and Warehousing; and Construction.
The price of Alaska North Slope crude oil began
2021 averaging $55.56 in January and climbed steadily throughout
the year to a monthly average high of $84.36 a barrel in October.
2022 began with a monthly average of $86.50 in January and rose
steadily due to rising global demand and the war in Ukraine to
average $110.41 a barrel in the month of March 2022.
Alaska’s home mortgage delinquency and
foreclosure levels continue to be better than most of the nation.
According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, Alaska’s foreclosure
rate improved from 0.63% at the end of 2019 to 0.45% at the end of
2020 and 0.32% at the end of 2021. The comparable national average
rate was higher than Alaska at 0.42% at the end of 2021.
The Mortgage Bankers Association survey reported
that the percentage of delinquent mortgage loans at the end of 2019
in Alaska was 2.9%. This increased to 6.2% at the end of 2020 after
the effects of COVID-19 impacted jobs. By the end of 2021 it has
improved to 4.1% in Alaska. According to the survey, the comparable
delinquency rate for the entire country remains higher than Alaska
at 4.6% at the end of 2021.
According to the Alaska Multiple Listing
Services, the average sales price of a single family home in
Anchorage rose 6.9% in 2021 to $424,148. Average sales prices in
the Matanuska Susitna Borough rose 15.6% in 2021 to $347,974,
continuing a decade of consecutive price gains. These two markets
represent where the vast majority of the Bank’s residential lending
activity occurs. Prices also increased 13.9% in the Fairbanks North
Star Borough, 13% in the Kenai Peninsula Borough, and 13.8% in the
Kodiak Island Borough in 2021.
The number of housing units sold in Anchorage
was up by 11.2% in 2021, as compared to the prior year, following
an increase of 19.6% in 2020 as compared to 2019, as reported by
the Alaska Multiple Listing Services. The Matanuska Susitna Borough
also had strong sales activity, up 11.6% in 2021 and 9.7% in 2020
in each case as compared to the preceding year. We believe that
rising interest rates will moderate this level of activity in
2022.

Review of Income Statement
Consolidated Income
Statement
In the first quarter of 2022, Northrim generated
a ROAA of 1.12% and a ROAE of 12.36%, compared to 1.23% and 13.14%,
respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2021 and 2.25% and 21.40%,
respectively, in the first quarter a year ago. Northrim’s ROAE is
above peer averages posted by the S&P U.S. Small Cap Bank Index
with total market capitalization between $250 million and $1
billion as of December 31, 20211.
Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin
Net interest income decreased 1% to
$19.3 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to
$19.5 million in the first quarter of 2021 and decreased 11%
compared to $21.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Interest income benefited from the amortization of PPP loan fees
and the full recognition of the deferred PPP loan fees upon
forgiveness by the SBA. During the first quarter of 2022, Northrim
received $56.9 million in loan forgiveness through the SBA,
compared to $88.5 million in loan forgiveness during the prior
quarter, resulting in total net PPP fee income of $2.1 million and
$3.6 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, there was
$2.4 million of net deferred PPP fee income
remaining.
NIMTE* was 3.20% in the first quarter of 2022
compared to 3.54% in the preceding quarter and 3.92% in the first
quarter a year ago. NIMTE* decreased compared to the prior quarter
primarily due to lower SBA PPP fee income recognition as noted
above. Additionally, the fourth quarter of 2021 included $675,000
of nonaccrual interest income related to the collection of amounts
due for one nonperforming loan that paid off during the quarter.
Also notable during the first quarter of 2022 was the impact of SBA
PPP loan fees and interest on net interest income, which increased
our NIMTE* by 29 basis points during the quarter compared to what
our NIMTE* would have been if we had not made any SBA PPP loans.
“The increase in the margin from SBA PPP loans this quarter is the
result of recognition of fee income on loans that were forgiven,
which we expect to continue to decrease in 2022 as SBA PPP loan
forgiveness slows as remaining SBA PPP loan balances continue to
decline,” said Jed Ballard, Chief Financial Officer. “We expect net
interest margin improvement with increases in interest rates in
2022, as nearly 73% of our loan portfolio has adjusting rates and
our large cash position will reprice immediately upon any rate
increases,” continued Ballard. NIMTE* continues to be impacted by
the increased liquidity Northrim has experienced in
conjunction with the SBA PPP loans and the overall increase in
deposits. Northrim's NIMTE* continues to remain above the peer
average posted by the S&P U.S. Small Cap Bank Index with total
market capitalization between $250 million and $1 billion as of
December 31, 20211.
1As of December 31, 2021, the S&P U.S. Small
Cap Bank Index tracked 289 banks with total common market
capitalization between $250 million to $1B for the following
ratios: NIMTE* of 2.79%. ROAA 1.09%, and ROAE 9.82%.
Provision for Credit Losses
Northrim recorded a benefit to the provision for
credit losses of $150,000 in the first quarter of 2022, which
includes a $17,000 provision for credit losses on unfunded
commitments and a benefit of $167,000 for credit losses on loans.
This compares to a benefit to the provision for credit losses of
$1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, and a benefit to
the provision for credit losses of $1.5 million in the first
quarter a year ago. “The decrease in the benefit for credit losses
during the quarter primarily follows our current assessment of
risks associated with the economy and reflects expected lifetime
credit losses based upon the conditions that existed as of quarter
end,” said Ballard. “The ongoing impacts of the CECL methodology
will be dependent upon changes in economic conditions and
forecasts, as well as loan portfolio composition, quality, and
portfolio duration.”
Nonperforming loans, net of government
guarantees, decreased during the quarter to $8.7 million at
March 31, 2022, compared to $10.7 million at December 31,
2021, and decreased compared to $13.1 million at
March 31, 2021. The allowance for credit losses was 130% of
nonperforming loans, net of government guarantees, at the end of
the first quarter of 2022, compared to 110% three months earlier
and 113% a year ago.
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
$10.8 million, or 36% of total first quarter 2022 revenues, as
compared to $9.6 million, or 31% of revenues in the fourth
quarter of 2021, and $15.9 million, or 45% of revenues in the
first quarter of 2021. The increase in other operating income in
the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the preceding quarter is
primarily the result of $2.0 million in life insurance proceeds
received in connection with the death of the Company’s former
Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary
who passed away on November 11, 2021. This increase was only
partially offset by decreases in the value of marketable equity
securities, mortgage banking income, and purchased receivable
income. The decrease in other operating income in the first quarter
of 2022 as compared to the first quarter a year ago was due
primarily to a lower volume of mortgage activity, which was only
partially offset by the $2.0 million in life insurance proceeds in
the first quarter of 2022.
Other Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $21.1 million in the
first quarter of 2022, compared to $23.0 million in the fourth
quarter of 2021, and $21.3 million in the first quarter of 2021.
The decrease in other operating expenses in the first quarter of
2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 is primarily due to
lower mortgage commissions expense due to lower mortgage volume, as
well as lower marketing expense due to decreases in charitable
contributions and sponsorship expenses, which the Company often
pays in the fourth quarter each year.
Income Tax Provision
In the first quarter of 2022, Northrim recorded
$1.9 million in state and federal income tax expense for an
effective tax rate of 21.3%, compared to $1.3 million, or
13.4% in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $3.4 million, or 21.7%
in the first quarter a year ago. The increase in the tax rate in
the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2021
is primarily the result of decreased tax benefits related to equity
compensation and the Company's investment in low income housing tax
credits.
Community Banking
“Our strategy of Land and Expand has been
effective in increasing and strengthening our client relationships
since the strategy was launched in the second quarter of 2020,”
said Schierhorn. “We have built on our success in PPP while
expanding into new markets and making strategic hires. These
efforts, combined with an improving competitive environment, have
allowed us to increase our deposit market share over the last two
years per the FDIC from 11.06% as of June 30, 2019 to 13.00% as of
June 30, 2021, an increase of 17.5%.”
Net interest income in the Community Banking
segment totaled $18.9 million in the first quarter of 2022,
compared to $21.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and
$18.7 million in the first quarter of 2021. Net interest
income benefited from $2.3 million of PPP income in the first
quarter of 2022, and $4.0 million of PPP income in the fourth
quarter of 2021. As of March 31, 2022, there was $2.4 million of
unearned loan fees net of costs related to round one and round two
PPP loans.

Community Banking segment of Northrim:

Home Mortgage Lending
“The decreased activity in the mortgage market
in the first quarter of 2022 represents a return to historical
norms for this time of year as compared to the first quarter of
2021, which included high refinance volume,” said Ballard.
During the first quarter of 2022, mortgage loan
volume was $143.6 million, of which 76% was for new home
purchases, compared to $247.2 million and 70% of loans funded
for new home purchases in the fourth quarter of 2021, and
$301.0 million, of which 40% was for new home purchases in the
first quarter of 2021.
Loan fundings decreased during the first quarter
of 2022 as compared to the preceding quarter and year-over-year,
driven by normal seasonality and lower refinance activity. The net
change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights increased
mortgage banking income by $711,000 during the first quarter of
2022, primarily due to a reduction in estimated prepayment speeds,
which was generally caused by the increase in mortgage rates.
“Our mortgage servicing business, which we
initiated to service loans primarily for the Alaska Housing Finance
Corporation, generated continued growth throughout the quarter,
which partially offset the reduction of the refinancing activity,”
said Ballard. As of March 31, 2022, Northrim serviced 3,151
loans in its $789.4 million home-mortgage-servicing portfolio,
a 2% increase compared to the $772.8 million serviced for the
fourth quarter of 2021, and a 16% increase from the
$682.8 million serviced a year ago. Delinquencies in the loan
servicing portfolio totaled 2.6% at March 31, 2022, compared
to 3.7% at March 31, 2021. Mortgage servicing revenue
contributed $1.8 million to revenues in the first quarter of
2022, compared to $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021,
and $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2021.
Total mortgage servicing income fluctuates based
on the number of mortgage servicing rights originated during the
period and changes in the fair value of those servicing rights. The
fair value of mortgage servicing rights is driven by interest rate
volatility and the number of serviced mortgages that pay off 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 an increase of $711,000 for the
first quarter of 2022, compared to a decrease of $549,000 for the
fourth quarter of 2021 and a decrease of $1.0 million for the first
quarter of 2021.

Balance Sheet Review
Northrim’s total assets decreased to
$2.63 billion at March 31, 2022, down 4% from the
preceding quarter and up 12% from a year ago. The current quarter
decrease in total assets was the result of a large temporary
deposit from the prior quarter, which left the Bank early in the
first quarter of 2022. Northrim’s loan-to-deposit ratio was 59% at
March 31, 2022, up slightly from 58% at December 31, 2021, and
down from 76% at March 31, 2021.
Liquidity levels are at record highs with
interest bearing deposits in other banks at 513,482, representing
21% of interest-earning assets as of March 31, 2022, compared
to 8% at March 31, 2021.
Average interest-earning assets were
$2.46 billion in the first quarter of 2022, up 1% from
$2.45 billion the fourth quarter of 2021 and up 21% from
$2.03 billion in the first quarter a year ago. The average
yield on interest-earning assets was 3.33% in the first quarter of
2022, down from 3.67% in the preceding quarter and down from 4.14%
in the first quarter a year ago.
Average investment securities increased to
$491.0 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to
$432.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and
$298.8 million in the first quarter a year ago. The average
net tax equivalent yield on the securities portfolio was 1.23% for
the first quarter of 2022, up from 1.17% in the preceding quarter
and down from 1.45% in the year ago quarter. The average estimated
duration of the investment portfolio at March 31, 2022, was
four years. “The average duration in our investment securities
portfolio has increased over the last couple of years as a result
of lower interest rates, however, given our liquidity, we still
have flexibility to deploy short-term funds into higher earning
assets as rates are rising and are estimated to continue to rise
over the next one to two years,” said Ballard.
“Core loans, excluding PPP loans, increased
$17.5 million during the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the
fourth quarter of 2021. Additionally, the loan pipeline looks
strong and diversified geographically across all of our markets
throughout the state. We continue to benefit from the PPP efforts
as new customers look to expand and grow.” At March 31, 2022,
commercial loans represented 37% of total loans, PPP loans
represented 5% of total loans, commercial real estate owner
occupied loans comprised 17% of total loans, commercial real estate
non-owner occupied loans comprised 29% of total loans, and
construction loans made up 9% of total loans. Portfolio loans were
$1.38 billion at March 31, 2022, down 3% from the
preceding quarter and down 11% from a year ago. Portfolio loans
excluding the impact from PPP (core loans) were $1.31 billion at
March 31, 2022 up 1% from the preceding quarter and up 15%
from a year ago. Average portfolio loans in the first quarter of
2022 were $1.38 billion, which was down 2% from the preceding
quarter and down 8% from a year ago. Yields on average portfolio
loans in the first quarter of 2022 decreased to 5.27% from 5.75% in
the fourth quarter of 2021 and increased from 5.08% in the first
quarter of 2021. The decrease in the yield on portfolio loans in
the first quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 is
primarily due to lower SBA PPP fee income recognition as noted
above. Additionally, the fourth quarter of 2021 included $675,000
of nonaccrual interest income related to the collection of amounts
due for one nonperforming loan that paid off during the
quarter.
Alaskans continue to account for substantially
all of Northrim’s deposit base, which is primarily made up of
low-cost transaction accounts. Total deposits were
$2.34 billion at March 31, 2022, down 3% from
$2.42 billion at December 31, 2021, and up 14% from
$2.05 billion a year ago. Demand deposits decreased by 8% from
the prior quarter primarily due to the drawdown of a large
temporary deposit, but increased 7% year-over-year to
$812.5 million at March 31, 2022. Average
interest-bearing deposits were up 5% to $1.53 billion with an
average cost of 0.15% in the first quarter of 2022, compared to
$1.46 billion and an average cost of 0.16% in the fourth
quarter of 2021, and up 26% compared to $1.21 billion and an
average cost of 0.32% in the first quarter of 2021.
“We continue to attract new customers through
our outreach in the community, with a portion of our deposit and
loan growth coming from the over 2,300 new customers we gained from
helping with PPP lending,” said Schierhorn. “The Land and Expand
program is working with $64.6 million of core loan growth and
$121.1 million of deposit growth coming from new customers obtained
from our PPP efforts as of March 31, 2022. The investments in our
people, products and services have allowed us to attract a broader
customer base and convert new PPP customers into full banking
relationships.”
Shareholders’ equity was $225.8 million, or
$38.39 book value per share, at March 31, 2022, compared to
$237.8 million, or $39.54 book value per share, at December
31, 2021 and $231.5 million, or $37.29 book value per share, a
year ago. Tangible book value per share* was $35.67 at
March 31, 2022, compared to $36.88 at December 31, 2021, and
$34.71 per share a year ago. The decrease in shareholders' equity
in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the fourth quarter of
2021 was largely the result of the decrease in the fair value of
the available for sale securities portfolio, which decreased $11.7
million, net of tax, during the quarter. 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 13.76% at March 31, 2022, compared to
14.08% at December 31, 2021, and 14.55% at March 31, 2021.
Asset Quality
“We are pleased with our continued core loan
growth that we are obtaining throughout our markets, however, we
remain cautious. There are many global economic factors which have
the potential to impact the industries in our market, particularly
tourism and hospitality, and therefore we continue to maintain
elevated credit monitoring structures,” said Ballard.
Nonperforming assets ("NPAs") net of government
guarantees were $13.1 million at March 31, 2022, down
from $15.0 million at December 31, 2021 and from
$19.6 million a year ago. Of the NPAs at March 31, 2022,
$7.0 million, or 54% are nonaccrual loans related to six commercial
relationships. One of these relationships, which totaled $979,000
at March 31, 2022, is a business in the medical industry.
Net adversely classified loans were
$11.7 million at March 31, 2022, as compared to
$13.7 million at December 31, 2021, and $16.9 million a
year ago. Adversely classified loans are loans that Northrim has
classified as substandard, doubtful, and loss, net of government
guarantees. Net loan charge-offs were $262 thousand in the
first quarter of 2022, compared to net loan charge-offs of
$1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, and net loan
recoveries of $44 thousand in the first quarter of 2021.
Performing restructured loans that were not
included in nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2022, net of
government guarantees were $596,000, down from $773,000 three
months earlier and down from $812,000 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.
Excluding SBA PPP loans, Northrim had $118.6
million, or 9% of total portfolio loans, in the Healthcare sector;
$95.2 million, or 7% of portfolio loans, in the Tourism sector;
$67.0 million, or 5% of portfolio loans, in the Aviation
(non-tourism) sector; $55.1 million, or 4% in the Fishing sector;
$50.6 million, or 4% in the Accommodations sector; $49.7 million,
or 4% in the Restaurants and Breweries sector; and $42.3 million,
or 3% in Retail loans as of March 31, 2022.
Northrim estimates that $65.1 million, or
approximately 5% of portfolio loans excluding SBA PPP loans, had
direct exposure to the oil and gas industry in Alaska, as of
March 31, 2022, and $4.2 million of these loans are adversely
classified. As of March 31, 2022, Northrim has an additional
$64.3 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.

Forward looking statements, whether concerning the COVID-19
pandemic and the government responses related thereto or otherwise,
are subject to various risks and uncertainties that may cause our
actual results to differ materially and adversely from our
expectations as indicated in the forward-looking statements. These
risks and uncertainties include: the uncertainties relating to the
impact of COVID-19 on the Company's credit quality, business,
operations and employees; the impact of the results of government

management of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the effectiveness of
previously-enacted fiscal stimulus from the federal government and
a potential infrastructure bill; the timing of PPP loan

potential geopolitical instability, including the war in Ukraine;
our ability to maintain strong asset quality and to maintain or

*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 2022 and 2021. The most comparable GAAP measure
is net interest margin and the following table sets forth the
reconciliation of NIMTE to net interest margin.
