NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and corresponding footnotes have been prepared by Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The year-end Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from the Company's audited financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The Company owns a 100% interest in Residential Mortgage Holding Company, LLC, the parent company of Residential Mortgage, LLC (collectively "RML") and consolidates their balance sheets and income statement into its financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The Company determined that it operates in two primary operating segments: Community Banking and Home Mortgage Lending. The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure. Operating results for the interim period ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2022. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no significant changes in our application of these accounting policies in 2022.

Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations or total shareholders' equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting pronouncements to be implemented in future periods

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Report of Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04"). ASU 2020-04 was issued to provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The last expedient is a one-time election to sell or transfer debt securities classified as held to maturity. The expedients are in effect from March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022. The Company will be able to use the expedients in this guidance to manage through the transition away from LIBOR, specifically for our loan portfolio, derivative contracts, and bond portfolio.

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, ("ASU 2021-01"). The amendments in ASU 2021-01 are elective and apply to all entities that have derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. The amendments clarify certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition.

LIBOR is a widely-referenced benchmark rate, which is published in five currencies and a range of tenors, and seeks to estimate the cost at which banks can borrow on an unsecured basis from other banks. The administrator of LIBOR, ICE Benchmark Administration, ceased the publication of one-week and two-month LIBOR, as well as all non-US Dollar LIBOR tenors as of January 1, 2022. 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month US Dollar LIBOR will continue to be published through and will remain available for use in legacy contracts or as otherwise enumerated by financial regulators until June 30, 2023. The Company has some assets and liabilities referenced to 1-month, 3-month, and 12-month US Dollar LIBOR, such as commercial loans, derivatives, debt securities, and junior subordinated debentures. As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately $180.5 million of assets, including $102.4 million in commercial loans and $78.1 million in debt securities, and $10.0 million of liabilities in the form of our junior subordinated debentures linked to USD LIBOR. These amounts exclude derivative assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2022, the notional amount of our USD LIBOR-linked interest rate derivative contracts was $151.6 million. Of this amount, $70.8 million in notional value represent commercial loan interest rate swap agreements with commercial banking customers. An additional $70.8 million in notional value represent corresponding swap agreements with third party financial institutions that offset the commercial loan swaps. Swap agreements with third party institutions are $80.8 million, including an interest rate swap agreement for $10.0 million in notional value related to our junior subordinated debentures. Each of the USD LIBOR-linked amounts referenced above are expected to vary in future periods as current contracts expire with potential replacement contracts using an alternative reference rate.

In an effort to mitigate the risks associated with a transition away from LIBOR, our Asset Liability Committee has undertaken initiatives to: (i) develop more robust fallback language and disclosures related to the LIBOR transition, (ii) develop a plan to seek to amend legacy contracts to reference such fallback language or alternative reference rates, (iii) enhance systems to support commercial loans, securities, and derivatives linked to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate and other alternative reference rates, (iv) develop and evaluate internal guidance, policies and procedures focused on the transition away from LIBOR to alternative reference rate products, and (v) prepare and disseminate internal and external communications regarding the LIBOR transition.

ASU 2021-01 does not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures ("ASU 2022-02"). The amendments in ASU 2022-02 eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Specifically, rather than applying the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs which includes an assessment of whether the creditor has granted a concession, an entity must evaluate whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The amendments enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, for public business entities, ASU 2022-02 requires that an entity disclose current-period gross writeoffs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses-Measured at Amortized Cost in the vintage disclosures required by paragraph 326-20-50-6. ASU 2022-02 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company may elect to apply the updated guidance on TDR recognition and measurement by using a modified retrospective transition method, which would result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, or to adopt the amendments prospectively. The Company intends to elect to adopt the updated guidance on TDR recognition and measurement prospectively; therefore the guidance will be applied to modifications occurring after the date of adoption. The amendments on TDR disclosures and vintage disclosures must be adopted prospectively. The Company does not believe that ASU 2022-02 will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

2. Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company is no longer required to maintain cash balances or deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco ("Federal Reserve Bank") sufficient to meet its statutory reserve requirements and for purposes of settling financial transactions and charges for the Federal Reserve Bank services.

The Company is required to maintain a $300,000 and $250,000 balance with a correspondent bank for outsourced servicing of ATMs as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company was required to maintain a $100,000 and $30,000 balance with a correspondent bank to collateralize the initial margin and the fair value exposure, respectively, of its interest rate swap to hedge the variability in cash flows arising out of its junior subordinated debentures.

3. Investment Securities

Marketable Equity Securities

The Company held marketable equity securities with fair values of $8.0 million and $8.4 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The gross realized and unrealized gains (losses) recognized on marketable equity securities in other operating income in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income were as follows:

Management evaluates available for sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Consideration is given to the extent to which the fair value is less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

At March 31, 2022, the Company had 61 available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position without an ACL. At March 31, 2022, the Company had three held to maturity securities in an unrealized loss position without an ACL. Management does not have the intent to sell any of these securities and believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2022,

management believes that the unrealized losses detailed in the previous table are due to noncredit-related factors, including changes in interest rates and other market conditions, and therefore no losses have been recognized in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $57.5 million and $59.5 million in securities were pledged for deposits and borrowings, respectively.

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of debt securities at March 31, 2022, are distributed by contractual maturity as shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

At March 31, 2022, as compared to December 31, 2021, the Company forecasted a significantly lower unemployment rate over the reasonable and supportable forecast period. For most loan segments, an increase in loan balances more than offset the decrease in the forecast for unemployment and changes in the characteristics of loans. However, increases in loan balances were more than offset by changes in the makeup of the underlying loans in the owner occupied commercial real estate and other construction segments. The primary reason for the decreases in the ACL in these segments is a shorter expected life, which results in a decrease in the ACL in a discounted cash flow ("DCF") Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL") model.

Credit Quality Information

As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management utilizes a loan risk grading system called the Asset Quality Rating (“AQR”) system to assign a risk classification to each of its loans. The risk classification is a dual rating system that contemplates both probability of default and risk of loss given default. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 10 and, loans graded 1 – 6 are considered “pass” grade loans. Loans graded 7 or higher are considered "classified" loans. A description of the general characteristics of the AQR risk classifications are as follows:

Pass grade loans – 1 through 6: The borrower demonstrates sufficient cash flow to fund debt service, including acceptable profit margins, cash flows, liquidity and other balance sheet ratios. Historic and projected performance indicates that the borrower is able to meet obligations under most economic circumstances. The Company has competent management with an acceptable track record. The category does not include loans with undue or unwarranted credit risks that constitute identifiable weaknesses.

Classified loans:

Special Mention – 7: A "special mention" credit has weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset at some future date.

Substandard – 8: A "substandard" credit is inadequately protected by the current worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that Northrim Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – 9: An asset classified "doubtful" has all the weaknesses inherent in one that is classified "substandard-8" with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The loan has substandard characteristics, and available information suggests that it is unlikely that the loan will be repaid in its entirety.

Loss – 10: An asset classified "loss" is considered uncollectible and of such little value that its continuance on the books is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

The following tables present the Company's portfolio of risk-rated loans by grade and by year of origination. Management considers the guidance in ASC 310-20 when determining whether a modification, extension, or renewal of loan constitutes a current period origination. Generally, current period renewals of credit are re-underwritten at the point of renewal and considered current period originations for purposes of the table below.

There was $2,000 in interest on nonaccrual loans reversed through interest income during three-month period ending March 31, 2022. There was no interest on nonaccrual loans reversed through interest income during the three-month period ending March 31, 2021.

There was no interest earned on nonaccrual loans with a principal balance during the three-month periods ending March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. However, the Company recognized interest income of $57,000 and $134,000 in the three-month periods ending March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to interest collected on nonaccrual loans whose principal had been paid down to zero.

Troubled Debt Restructurings: Loans classified as TDRs totaled $10.0 million and $10.6 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. A TDR is a loan to a borrower that is experiencing financial difficulty that has been modified from its original terms and conditions in such a way that the Company is granting the borrower a concession that it would not grant otherwise.

The provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act included an election to not apply the guidance on accounting for TDRs to loan modifications, such as extensions or deferrals, related to COVID-19 made between March 1, 2020 and December 31, 2021. The relief can only be applied to modifications for borrowers that were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The Company elected to adopt these provisions of the CARES Act. The Company has made the following types of loan modifications related to COVID-19, which are not classified as TDRs with principal balance outstanding of:


Loan Modifications due to COVID-19 as of March 31, 2022
(Dollars in thousands)	Interest Only	Full Payment Deferral	Total
Portfolio loans	$45,074	$—	$45,074
Number of modifications	13	—	13


Loan Modifications due to COVID-19 as of December 31, 2021
(Dollars in thousands)	Interest Only	Full Payment Deferral	Total
Portfolio loans	$49,219	$—	$49,219
Number of modifications	16	—	16

The Company has granted a variety of concessions to borrowers in the form of loan modifications. The modifications granted can generally be described in the following categories:

Rate Modification: A modification in which the interest rate is changed.

Term Modification: A modification in which the maturity date, timing of payments, or frequency of payments is changed.

Payment Modification: A modification in which the dollar amount of the payment is changed, or in which a loan is converted to interest only payments for a period of time is included in this category.

Combination Modification: Any other type of modification, including the use of multiple categories above.

AQR pass graded loans included above in the impaired loan data are loans classified as TDRs. By definition, TDRs are considered impaired loans. All of the Company's TDRs are included in impaired loans.

There were no newly restructured loans that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021, respectively. As discussed above, the CARES Act provided banks an option to elect to not account for certain loan modifications related to COVID-19 between March 1, 2020 and December 31, 2021 as TDRs as long as the borrowers were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The disclosed restructurings were not related to COVID-19 modifications.


	Accrual Status	Nonaccrual Status	Total Modifications
(In Thousands)






Existing Troubled Debt Restructurings	$2,978	$7,062	$10,040
Total	$2,978	$7,062	$10,040

The Company had no commitments to extend additional credit to borrowers whose terms have been modified in TDRs. There were no in charge-offs in the three months ended March 31, 2022 on loans that were newly classified as TDRs during the same period.

There were no loans that defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, that were restructured in the previous twelve months.

5. Purchased Receivables

Purchased receivables are carried at their principal amount outstanding, net of an allowance for credit losses, and have a maturity of less than one year. There were no purchased receivables past due at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021, and there were no restructured purchased receivables at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Income on purchased receivables is accrued and recognized on the principal amount outstanding using an effective interest method except when management believes doubt exists as to the collectability of the income or principal. There were no nonperforming purchased receivables as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

There was no activity and no balance in the ACL for purchased receivables as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The following table summarizes the components of net purchased receivables for the periods indicated:


(In Thousands)	March 31, 2022	December 31, 2021
Purchased receivables	$8,552	$6,987

6. Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights

The following table details the activity in the Company's mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In Thousands)	2022	2021

Balance, beginning of period	$13,724	$11,218
Additions for new MSR capitalized	987	1,448
Changes in fair value:
Due to changes in model inputs of assumptions (1)	1,192	(180)
Other (2)	(481)	(829)
Balance, end of period	$15,422	$11,657

(1) Principally reflects changes in discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions, which are primarily affected by changes in interest rates.

(2) Represents changes due to collection/realization of expected cash flows over time.

The following table details information related to our serviced mortgage loan portfolio as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:


(In Thousands)	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021

Balance of mortgage loans serviced for others	$789,382		$772,764
MSR as a percentage of serviced loans	1.95	%	1.78	%

The Company recognized servicing fees of $783,000 and $705,000 during the three-month periods ending March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which includes contractually specified servicing fees and ancillary fees as a component of other noninterest income in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following table outlines the weighted average key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of MSR as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:


	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021

Constant prepayment rate	8.93	%	11.80	%
Discount rate	8.00	%	8.00	%

Key economic assumptions and the sensitivity of the current fair value for MSR to immediate adverse changes in those assumptions at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows:


(In Thousands)			March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Aggregate portfolio principal balance			$789,382		$772,764
Weighted average rate of note			3.27	%	3.31	%

March 31, 2022	Base		1.0% Adverse Rate Change		2.0% Adverse Rate Change
Constant prepayment rate	8.93	%	17.87	%	26.79	%
Discount rate	8.00	%	7.00	%	6.00	%
Fair value MSR	$15,422		$11,213		$8,621
Percentage of MSR	1.95	%	1.42	%	1.09	%

December 31, 2021
Constant prepayment rate	11.80	%	23.59	%	34.57	%
Discount rate	8.00	%	7.00	%	6.00	%
Fair value MSR	$13,724		$9,612		$7,256
Percentage of MSR	1.78	%	1.24	%	0.94	%

The above tables show the sensitivity to market rate changes for the par rate coupon for a conventional one-to-four family Alaska Housing Finance Corporation/FNMA/FHLMC serviced home loan. The above tables reference a 100 basis point and 200 basis point decrease in discount rates.

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution as the tables above demonstrate the Company’s methodology for estimating the fair value of MSR is highly sensitive to changes in key assumptions. For example, actual prepayment experience may differ and any difference may have a material effect on MSR fair value. Changes in fair value resulting from changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in these tables, the effects of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the MSR is calculated without changing any other assumption; in reality, changes in one factor may be associated with changes in another (for example, decreases in market interest rates may provide an incentive to refinance; however, this may also indicate a slowing economy and an increase in the unemployment rate, which reduces the number of borrowers who qualify for refinancing), which may magnify or counteract the sensitivities. Thus, any measurement of MSR fair value is limited by the conditions existing and assumptions made at a particular point in time. Those assumptions may not be appropriate if they are applied to a different point in time.

Commercial servicing rights

The commercial servicing rights asset ("CSR") has a carrying value $1.1 million at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and is included in other assets and carried at fair value on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Total commercial loans serviced for others were $261.6 million and $259.8 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the CSR as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 include a constant prepayment rate of 16.08% and a discount rate of 9.94%.

7. Leases

The Company's lease commitments consist primarily of agreements to lease land and office facilities that it occupies to operate several of its retail branch locations that are classified as operating leases and are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has operating lease ROU assets of $10.4 million and operating lease liabilities of $10.4 million. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had operating lease ROU assets of $11.0 million and operating lease liabilities of $11.0 million. The Company did not have any agreements that are classified as finance leases as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

The following table presents additional information about the Company's operating leases:


		Three Months Ended March 31,

8. Derivatives

Derivatives swaps related to community banking activities

The Company enters into commercial loan interest rate swap agreements with commercial banking customers which are offset with a corresponding swap agreement with a third party financial institution ("counterparty"). The Company has agreements with its counterparties that contain provisions that provide that if the Company fails to maintain its status as a "well-capitalized" institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements. These agreements also require that the Company and the counterparty collateralize any fair value shortfalls that exceed $250,000 with eligible collateral, which includes cash and securities backed with the full faith and credit of the federal government. Similarly, the Company could be required to settle its obligations under the agreement if specific regulatory events occur, such as if the Company were issued a prompt corrective action directive or a cease and desist order, or if certain regulatory ratios fall below specified levels. The Company pledged $7.8 million as of March 31, 2022 and $8.2 million as of December 31, 2021 in available for sale securities to collateralize fair value shortfalls on interest rate swap agreements.

The Company had interest rate swaps related to commercial loans with an aggregate notional amount of $210.4 million and $212.6 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. At March 31, 2022, the notional amount of interest rate swaps is made up of 19 variable to fixed rate swaps to commercial loan customers totaling $105.2 million, and 19 fixed to variable rate swaps with a counterparty totaling $105.2 million. Changes in fair value from these 19 interest rate swaps offset each other in the first nine months of 2022. The Company recognized $3,000 and $92,000 in fee income related to interest rate swaps in the three-month periods ending March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest rate swap income is recorded in other operating income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. None of these interest rate swaps are designated as hedging instruments.

The Company has an interest rate swap to hedge the variability in cash flows arising out of its junior subordinated debentures, which is floating rate debt, by swapping the cash flows with an interest rate swap which receives floating and pays fixed. The Company has designated this interest rate swap as a hedging instrument. The interest rate swap effectively fixes the Company's interest payments on the $10.0 million of junior subordinated debentures held under Northrim Statutory Trust 2 at 3.72% through its maturity date. The floating rate that the dealer pays is equal to the three month LIBOR plus 1.37% which reprices quarterly on the payment date. This rate was 2.20% as of March 31, 2022. The Company pledged $2.9 million in cash to collateralize initial margin and fair value exposure of our counterparty on this interest rate swap as of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Changes in the fair value of this interest rate swap are reported in other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The unrealized loss on this interest rate swap was $28,000 as of March 31, 2022 and the unrealized loss was $1.0 million as of December 31, 2021.

Derivatives related to home mortgage banking activities

The Company also uses derivatives to hedge the risk of changes in the fair values of interest rate lock commitments. The Company enters into commitments to originate residential mortgage loans at specific rates; the value of these commitments are detailed in the table below as "interest rate lock commitments". The Company also hedges the interest rate risk associated with its residential mortgage loan commitments, which are referred to as "retail interest rate contracts" in the table below. Market risk with respect to commitments to originate loans arises from changes in the value of contractual positions due to changes in interest rates. RML had commitments to originate mortgage loans held for sale totaling $130.2 million and $81.6 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Changes in the value of RML's interest rate derivatives are recorded in mortgage banking income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. None of these derivatives are designated as hedging instruments.

The following table presents the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Our derivative transactions with counterparties under International Swaps and Derivative Association master agreements include "right of set-off" provisions. "Right of set-off" provisions are legally enforceable rights to offset recognized amounts and there may be an intention to settle such amounts on a net basis. We do not offset such financial instruments for financial reporting purposes.

9. Fair Value Measurements

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Investment securities available for sale and marketable equity securities: Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Servicing rights: MSR and CSR are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These assets are classified as Level 3 as quoted prices are not available. In order to determine the fair value of MSR and CSR, the present value of net expected future cash flows is estimated. Assumptions used include market discount rates, anticipated prepayment speeds, escrow calculations, delinquency rates, and ancillary fee income net of servicing costs. The model assumptions are also compared to publicly filed information from several large MSR holders, as available.

Derivative instruments: The fair value of the interest rate lock commitments are estimated using quoted or published market prices for similar instruments, adjusted for factors such as pull-through rate assumptions based on historical information, where appropriate. The pull-through rate assumptions are considered Level 3 valuation inputs and are significant to the interest rate lock commitment valuation; as such, the interest rate lock commitment derivatives are classified as Level 3. Interest rate contracts are valued in a model, which uses as its basis a discounted cash flow technique incorporating credit valuation

adjustments to reflect nonperformance risk in the measurement of fair value. Although the Company has determined that the majority of inputs used to value its interest rate derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of March 31, 2022, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of these adjustments on the overall valuation of its interest rate positions and has determined that they are not significant to the overall valuation of its interest rate derivatives. As a result, the Company has classified its interest rate derivative valuations in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit: The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligation with the counterparties at the reporting date.

Assets Subject to Nonrecurring Adjustment to Fair Value

The Company is also required to measure certain assets such as equity method investments, goodwill, intangible assets, impaired loans, and Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO") at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Any nonrecurring adjustments to fair value usually result from the write-down of individual assets.

The Company uses either in-house evaluations or external appraisals to estimate the fair value of OREO and impaired loans as of each reporting date. In-house appraisals are considered Level 3 inputs and external appraisals are considered Level 2 inputs. The Company’s determination of which method to use is based upon several factors. The Company takes into account compliance with legal and regulatory guidelines, the amount of the loan, the size of the assets, the location and type of property to be valued and how critical the timing of completion of the analysis is to the assessment of value. Those factors are balanced with the level of internal expertise, internal experience and market information available, versus external expertise available such as qualified appraisers, brokers, auctioneers and equipment specialists.

The Company uses external sources to estimate fair value for projects that are not fully constructed as of the date of valuation. These projects are generally valued as if complete, with an appropriate allowance for cost of completion, including contingencies developed from external sources such as vendors, engineers and contractors. The Company believes that recording OREO that is not fully constructed based on as if complete values is more appropriate than recording OREO that is not fully constructed using as is values. We concluded that as-is-complete values are appropriate for these types of projects based on the accounting guidance for capitalization of project costs and subsequent measurement of the value of real estate. GAAP specifically states that estimates and cost allocations must be reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reallocated based on revised estimates. The Company adjusts the carrying value of OREO in accordance with this guidance for increases in estimated cost to complete that exceed the fair value of the real estate at the end of each reporting period.

Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and the notes thereto presented elsewhere in this report and with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Except as otherwise noted, references to "we", "our", "us" or "the Company" refer to Northrim BanCorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries that are consolidated for financial reporting purposes.

Note Regarding Forward Looking-Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined for purposes of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements describe management’s expectations about future events and developments such as future operating results, growth in loans and deposits, continued success of the Company’s style of banking, the strength of the local economy, and statements related to the expected or potential impact of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and related responses of the government. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding industry prospects, future results of operations or financial position and the expected or potential impact of COVID-19 and related responses of the government, made in this report are forward-looking. We use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions in part to help identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current plans and expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results may differ significantly from management’s expectations, and those variations may be both material and adverse. Forward-looking statements, whether concerning COVID-19 and the government response 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 availability and terms of funding from government sources related to COVID-19; the impact of the results of government initiatives on the regulatory landscape, natural resource extraction industries, capital markets, and the response to and 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 Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loan forgiveness; the impact of interest rates, inflation, supply-chain constraints, trade policies and tensions, including tariffs, and potential geopolitical instability, including the ware in Ukraine; the general condition of, and changes in, the Alaska economy; our ability to maintain or expand our market share or net interest margin; our ability to maintain asset quality; our ability to implement our marketing and growth strategies; and our ability to execute our business plan. Further, actual results may be affected by competition on price and other factors with other financial institutions; customer acceptance of new products and services; the regulatory environment in which we operate; and general trends in the local, regional and national banking industry and economy. Many of these risks, as well as other risks that may have a material adverse impact on our operations and business, are identified in Part II. Item 1A Risk Factors of this report and Part I. Item 1A in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as well as in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, you should be aware that these factors are not an exhaustive list, and you should not assume these are the only factors that may cause our actual results to differ from our expectations. In addition, you should note that forward looking statements are made only as of the date of this report and that we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements or the uncertainties that may adversely impact those statements, other than as required by law.

Update on Economic Conditions

The Alaska economy showed broad improvements in 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 as it rebounded from the pandemic lows of 2020. A steady recovery of jobs in Alaska in nearly every sector resulted from improved tourism, rising oil prices, a strong housing market and consumer liquidity from government stimulus programs. Management believes 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. According to the BEA, 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, as compared to 2020.

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.

Highlights and Summary of Performance - First Quarter of 2022

The Company reported net income and diluted earnings per share of $7.2 million and $1.20, respectively, for the first quarter of 2022 compared to net income and diluted earnings per share of $12.2 million and $1.94, respectively, for the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in net income for the three-month period ending March 31, 2022 compared to the same period last year is primarily attributable to a decrease in net income in the Home Mortgage Lending segment as a result of decreased production, as well as a lower benefit for the provision for credit losses.

•Total revenue in the first quarter of 2022, which includes net interest income plus other operating income, decreased 15% to $30.1 million from $35.4 million in the first quarter a year ago, primarily due to a $6.6 million decrease in mortgage banking income that was only partially offset by $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.

•Net interest income in the first quarter of 2022 decreased 1% to $19.3 million compared to $19.5 million in the first quarter of 2021. Net interest income excluding PPP interest and fees in the first quarter of 2022 increased 11% to $17.0 million, compared to $15.3 million in the first quarter of 2021.

•Net interest margin was 3.18% for the first quarter of 2022, a 72 basis point decrease from the first quarter of 2021 primarily due to the change in the mix of earning assets. Average interest bearing deposits in other banks increased to $538.5 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $120.9 million in the first quarter of 2021.

•Loans were $1.38 billion at March 31, 2022, down 3% from December 31, 2021 primarily as a result of PPP forgiveness. Loans excluding the impact from PPP, were $1.31 billion at March 31, 2022, up 1% from December 31, 2021. 73% of core portfolio loans are adjustable rate and are subject to rate increases as the prime rate and other indices increase.

•The Company booked a benefit for credit losses of $150,000 for the three-month period ending March 31, 2022, compared to a benefit of $1.5 million in the same period in 2021. The decrease in the benefit for credit losses in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily the result of a smaller change in the Company's forecast of economic assumptions used to estimate lifetime credit losses during the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the first quarter of 2021.

•The Company opened a loan production office in Nome, Alaska in the first quarter of 2022 to become the second bank with operations in that market.

•The Company paid cash dividends of $0.41 per common share in the first quarter of 2022, up 11% from $0.37 in the first quarter of 2021.

•At March 31, 2022, the capital ratios of the Company and Northrim Bank (the "Bank") were well in excess of all regulatory requirements. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased 133,105 shares of its common stock under the previously announced share repurchase program at an average price of $44.50 per share. There are 200,619 shares remaining of the 300,000 currently authorized for repurchase.

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 we 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 several forms of assistance to help our customers in the event that they experienced financial hardship as a result of COVID-19 in addition to our participation in PPP lending. As of March 31, 2022, remaining 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 for the periods indicated were as follows:


Loan Modifications due to COVID-19 as of March 31, 2022
(Dollars in thousands)	Interest Only	Full Payment Deferral	Total

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.

Nonperforming assets: Nonperforming assets, net of government guarantees at March 31, 2022 decreased 13%, or $2.0 million to $13.1 million as compared to $15.0 million at December 31, 2021. Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO"), net of government guarantees, remained at $4.4 million at March 31, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021. Nonperforming loans, net of government guarantees decreased $2.0 million, or 18% to $8.7 million as of March 31, 2022 from $10.7 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily due to the transfer of one relationship back to accrual status in the first three months of 2022 as well as payoffs and pay downs in the first quarter of 2022. $7.0 million, or 54% of nonperforming assets at March 31, 2022, are nonaccrual loans related to six commercial relationships.

The following table summarizes nonperforming asset activity for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Potential problem loans: Potential problem loans are loans which are currently performing in accordance with contractual terms but that have developed negative indications that the borrower may not be able to comply with present payment terms and which may later be included in nonaccrual, past due, or impaired loans. These loans are closely monitored and their performance is reviewed by management on a regular basis. At March 31, 2022, management had identified potential problem loans of $1.7 million as compared to potential problem loans of $2.1 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in potential problem loans from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022 is primarily the result of one relationship payoff in the first three months of 2022.

Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”): TDRs are those loans for which concessions, including the reduction of interest rates below a rate otherwise available to that borrower, have been granted due to the borrower’s weakened financial condition. Interest on TDRs will be accrued at the restructured rates when it is anticipated that no loss of original principal will occur, and the interest can be collected, which is generally after a period of six months. The Company had $3.0 million in loans classified as TDRs that were performing and $7.1 million in TDRs included in nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2022 for a total of approximately $10.0 million. There are $3.1 million in government guarantees associated with TDRs, resulting in total TDRs, net of government guarantees, of $6.9 million at March 31, 2022. At December 31, 2021 there were $773,000 in loans classified as TDRs, net of government guarantees that were performing and $6.5 million in TDRs included in nonaccrual loans for a total of $7.3 million. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report for further discussion of TDRs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Income Statement

Net Income

Net income for the first quarter of 2022 decreased $5.0 million to $7.2 million as compared to $12.2 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease in net income is mostly attributable to a $4.0 million decrease in net income in the Home Mortgage Lending segment, which is primarily due to lower production and a $952,000 decrease in net income in the Community Banking segment. The decrease in net income in the Community Banking segment in the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period a year ago is primarily due to a decrease in the benefit for credit losses. This decrease was only partially offset by $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.

Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2022 decreased $189,000, or 1%, to $19.3 million as compared to $19.5 million for the first quarter of 2021. Net interest margin decreased 72 basis points to 3.18% in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 3.90% in the first quarter of 2021.

The decrease in net interest income in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 was primarily the result of a decrease in loan fee income due in large part to decreased recognition of the deferred PPP loan fees upon loan forgiveness through the SBA which was only partially offset by increased interest on investments and decreased interest expense. During the three-month periods ending March 31, 2022 and 2021, Northrim received $56.9 million and $105.0 million, respectively, in loan forgiveness through the SBA. Total net PPP fee income including accretion and full fee recognition upon loan forgiveness was $2.1 million and $3.3 million during the three-month periods ending March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, there was $2.4 million of net deferred fees remaining on PPP loans mostly from the second round of PPP originations.

The decrease in net interest margin in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the same period a year ago was primarily the result of a less favorable mix of earning assets due to significant increases in short-term investments, which is the lowest yielding type of earning asset for the Company. Changes in net interest margin in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year are detailed below:

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit loss expense is the amount of expense that, based on our judgment, is required to maintain the Allowance for Credit Losses ("ACL") at an appropriate level under CECL. The determination of the amount of the ACL is complex and involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity. The following table presents the major categories of credit loss expense:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In Thousands)		2022	2021
Credit loss expense on loans held for investment		($167)	($1,905)
Credit loss expense on unfunded commitments		17	417
Credit loss expense on available for sale debt securities		—	—
Credit loss expense on held to maturity securities		—	—
Credit loss expense on purchased receivables		—	—
Total credit loss (benefit) expense		($150)	($1,488)

The decrease in the benefit for credit losses on loans for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2022 as compared to the same periods in 2021 is primarily the result of an improvement in economic assumptions used to estimate credit losses in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. 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 duration.

Other Operating Income

Other operating income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, decreased $5.1 million, or 32%, to $10.8 million as compared to $15.9 million for the same period in 2021, primarily due to a $6.6 million decrease in mortgage banking income in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021. The decrease in mortgage banking income in the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily due to decreased volume due to decreased refinance activity resulting from increases in the mortgage interest rates. Additionally, there was a decrease in unrealized gain on marketable securities. These decreases were only partially offset by $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, as well as small increases in bankcard fees and service charges on deposit accounts due to an increase in customers.

Other Operating Expense

Other operating expense for the first quarter of 2022 decreased $226,000, or 1%, to $21.1 million as compared to $21.3 million for the same period in 2021 primarily due to lower salaries and other personnel expense related to mortgage banking operations, which fluctuate with production volumes. This decrease was only partially offset by lower salary expense deferrals related to loan originations due to high PPP loan originations in the first quarter of 2021. Insurance expense increased in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the first quarter of 2021 due to higher FDIC insurance premiums primarily due to growth in the Company's balance sheet.

Income Taxes

For the first three months of 2022, Northrim recorded $1.9 million in state and federal income tax expense, for an effective tax rate of 21.25% compared to $3.4 million and 21.67% for the same period in 2021. Northrim recorded a lower effective tax rate for the first three months of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 as a result of an increase in tax credits and tax exempt interest income as a percentage of pre-tax income in 2022.

Loans decreased by $36.5 million, or 2.6%, to $1.377 billion at March 31, 2022 from $1.414 billion at December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of decreased SBA PPP loans. Loans excluding PPP loans increased $17.5 million, or 1.3% to $1.313 billion at March 31, 2022 from $1.296 billion at December 31, 2021. Management believes that the significant outreach that the Company has done throughout the SBA PPP lending cycle to both existing customers and new PPP loan customers has contributed to growth in our market share for non-PPP lending relationships. PPP loans are included in commercial and industrial loans in the table above and totaled $64.3 million at March 31, 2022 and $118.2 million at December 31, 2021.

Information about loan concentrations

The Company defines "direct exposure" to the oil and gas industry as companies that it has identified as significantly reliant upon activity related to the oil and gas industry, such as oilfield services, lodging, equipment rental, transportation, and other logistic services specific to the industry. The Company estimates that $65.1 million, or approximately 5% of loans as of March 31, 2022 have direct exposure to the oil and gas industry as compared to $63.6 million, or approximately 5% of loans as of December 31, 2021. The Company's exposure as a percent of the total loan portfolio excluding SBA PPP loans as of March 31, 2022 and as of December 31, 2021 was 5%. The Company's unfunded commitments to borrowers that have direct exposure to the oil and gas industry were $64.3 million and $66.4 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

While management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the ACL, unforeseen market conditions and other events could result in adjustment to the ACL, and net income could be significantly affected if circumstances differed substantially from the assumptions used in making the final determination of the ACL. Moreover, bank regulators frequently monitor banks' loan loss allowances, and if regulators were to determine that the Company’s ACL is inadequate, they may require the Company to increase the ACL, which may adversely impact the Company’s net income and financial condition.

Deposits

Deposits are the Company’s primary source of funds. Total deposits decreased $78.6 million, or 3%, to $2.343 billion as of March 31, 2022 compared to $2.422 billion as of December 31, 2021, primarily due to the drawdown of a large temporary deposit. The following table summarizes the Company's composition of deposits as of the periods indicated:


	March 31, 2022			December 31, 2021
(In thousands)	Balance	% of total		Balance	% of total
Demand deposits	$812,545	35	%	$887,824	37	%
Interest-bearing demand	674,393	29	%	692,683	29	%
Savings deposits	351,681	15	%	348,164	14	%
Money market deposits	329,261	14	%	314,996	13	%
Time deposits	175,186	7	%	177,964	7	%
Total deposits	$2,343,066			$2,421,631

The Company’s mix of deposits continues to contribute to a low cost of funds with balances in transaction accounts representing 93% of total deposits at March 31, 2022 and 93% of total deposits at December 31, 2021.

The only deposit category with stated maturity dates is certificates of deposit. At March 31, 2022, the Company had $175.2 million in certificates of deposit as compared to certificates of deposit of $178.0 million at December 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022, $136.2 million, or 78%, of the Company’s certificates of deposits are scheduled to mature over the next 12 months as compared to $118.5 million, or 67%, of total certificates of deposit at December 31, 2021. The aggregate amount of certificates of deposit in amounts of $250,000 and greater at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, was $75.6 million and $77.1 million, respectively. The following table sets forth the amount outstanding of deposits in amounts of $250,000 and greater by time remaining until maturity and percentage of total deposits as of March 31, 2022:

Borrowings

FHLB: The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (the "FHLB"). As a member, the Bank is eligible to obtain advances from the FHLB. FHLB advances are dependent on the availability of acceptable collateral such as marketable securities or real estate loans, although all FHLB advances are secured by a blanket pledge of the Bank’s assets. At March 31, 2022, our maximum borrowing line from the FHLB was $1.175 billion, approximately 45% of the Bank’s assets, subject to the FHLB’s collateral requirements. The Company has outstanding advances of $14.4 million as of March 31, 2022 which were originated to match fund low income housing projects that qualify for long term fixed interest rates. These advances have original terms of either 18 or 20 years with 30 year amortization periods and fixed interest rates ranging from 1.23% to 3.25%.

Federal Reserve Bank: The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the "Federal Reserve Bank") is holding $56.5 million of loans as collateral to secure advances made through the discount window on March 31, 2022. There were no discount window advances outstanding at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021, respectively.

Other Short-term Borrowings: The Company is subject to provisions under Alaska state law, which generally limit the amount of outstanding debt to 35% of total assets or $914.1 million at March 31, 2022 and $948.0 million at December 31, 2021.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no short-term (original maturity of one year or less) borrowings that exceeded 30% of shareholders’ equity.

Long-term Borrowings. The Company had no long-term borrowing outstanding other than the FHLB advances noted above as of March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company is a single bank holding company and its primary ongoing source of liquidity is from dividends received from the Bank. Such dividends arise from the cash flow and earnings of the Bank. Banking regulations and regulatory authorities may limit the amount of, or require the Bank to obtain certain approvals before paying, dividends to the Company. Given that the Bank currently meets and the Bank anticipates that it will continue to meet, all applicable capital adequacy requirements for a “well-capitalized” institution by regulatory standards, the Company expects to continue to receive dividends from the Bank during the remainder of 2022. Other available sources of liquidity for the bank holding company include the issuance of debt and the issuance of common or preferred stock. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has 10.0 million authorized shares of common stock, of which 5.9 million are issued and outstanding, leaving 4.1 million shares available for issuance. Additionally, the Company has 2.5 million authorized shares of preferred stock available for issuance.

The Bank manages its liquidity through its Asset and Liability Committee. The Bank's primary source of funds are customer deposits. These funds, together with loan repayments, loan sales, maturity of investment securities, borrowed funds, and retained earnings are used to make loans, to acquire securities and other assets, and to fund deposit flows and continuing operations. The primary sources of demands on our liquidity are customer demands for withdrawal of deposits and borrowers’ demands that we advance funds against unfunded lending commitments.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $532.8 million, or 20% of total assets at March 31, 2022 compared to $645.8 million, or 24% of total assets as of December 31, 2021. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is primarily due to a decrease in deposits, but is still elevated as compared to historical norms. Management expects this elevated level of liquidity to continue through 2022 and potentially into subsequent years. Accordingly, management has invested in slightly longer term investment securities as compared to the last several years. As of March 31, 2022, the weighted average maturity of available for sale securities is 4.0 years compared to 4.1 years at December 31, 2021 and 2.6 years at December 31, 2020. At March 31, 2022, $5.0 million in available for sale securities mature within one year, $74 million mature within one to two years, and $134 million mature within two to three years. Our total unfunded commitments to fund loans and letters of credit at March 31, 2022 were $392.5 million. We do not expect that all of these loans are likely to be fully drawn upon at any one time. At March 31, 2022, certificates of deposit totaling $136.2 million are scheduled to mature over the next 12 months and may be withdrawn from the Bank. Similar to loans, we do not expect that these maturing certificates of deposit, or other non-maturity deposits, to be withdrawn from the Bank in a manner that will strain liquidity; however, unforeseen future circumstances or events may cause higher than anticipated withdrawal of deposits or draws of unfunded commitments to fund new loans. Management believes that cash requirements to fund future non-deposit liabilities, including operating lease liabilities, other liabilities, or borrowings as of March 31, 2022, are not material to the Company's liquidity position as of March 31, 2022.

The Company has other available sources of liquidity to fund unforeseen liquidity needs. These include borrowings available through our correspondent banking relationships and our credit lines with the Federal Reserve Bank and the FHLB. At March 31, 2022, our liquid assets were $787.0 million and our funds available for borrowing under our existing lines of credit were $1.233 billion. Given these sources of liquidity and our expectations for customer demands for cash and for our operating cash needs, we believe our sources of liquidity to be sufficient in the foreseeable future.

As shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in Part I - Item 1 "Financial Statements" of this report, net cash provided by operating activities was $19.8 million for the first three months of 2022, primarily due to cash provided by proceeds from the sale of loans held for sale, which were only partially offset by cash used in connection with the origination of loans held for sale. Net cash used by investing activities was $45.8 million for the same period, primarily due to purchases of available for sale and held to maturity securities. This use of cash was only partially offset by a decrease in loans, mostly attributable to SBA PPP forgiveness. Net cash used by financing activities in the same period was $87.0 million, primarily due to a decrease in deposits.

Throughout our history, the Company has periodically repurchased for cash a portion of its shares of common stock in the open market. The Company repurchased 133,105 shares of its common stock under the Company's previously announced repurchase program in the first three months of 2022. The Company intends to continue to repurchase our stock from time-to-time depending upon market conditions, but we can make no assurances that we will continue this program or that we will authorize additional shares for repurchase.

Capital Requirements and Ratios

We are subject to minimum capital requirements. Federal banking agencies have adopted regulations establishing minimum requirements for the capital adequacy of banks and bank holding companies. The requirements address both risk-based capital and leverage capital. We believe as of March 31, 2022, that the Company and the Bank met all applicable capital adequacy requirements for a “well-capitalized” institution by regulatory standards.

The table below illustrates the capital requirements in effect for the periods noted for the Company and the Bank and the actual capital ratios for each entity that exceed these requirements. Management intends to maintain capital ratios for the Bank in 2022, exceeding the FDIC’s requirements for the “well-capitalized” classification. The capital ratios for the Company exceed those for the Bank primarily because the $10 million trust preferred securities offering completed in the fourth quarter of 2005 is included in the Company’s capital for regulatory purposes, although they are accounted for as a long-term debt in our financial statements. The trust preferred securities are not accounted for on the Bank’s financial statements nor are they included in its capital. As a result, the Company has $10 million more in regulatory capital than the Bank at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, which explains most of the difference in the capital ratios for the two entities.


	Minimum Required Capital	Well-Capitalized	Actual Ratio Company	Actual Ratio Bank


March 31, 2022
Total risk-based capital	8.00%	10.00%	14.37%	11.96%
Tier 1 risk-based capital	6.00%	8.00%	13.64%	11.24%
Common equity tier 1 capital	4.50%	6.50%	13.08%	11.25%
Leverage ratio	4.00%	5.00%	9.00%	7.40%

See Note 23 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II. Item 8 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a detailed discussion of the capital ratios. The requirements for "well- capitalized" come from the Prompt Corrective Action rules. See Part I. Item 1 - Business - Supervision and Regulation in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. These rules apply to the Bank but not to the Company. Under the rules of the Federal Reserve Bank, a bank holding company such as the Company is generally defined to be "well capitalized" if its Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio is 8.0% or more and its total risk-based capital ratio is 10.0% or more.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies are described in detail in Part II. Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The SEC defines "critical accounting policies" as those that require application of management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments as a result of the need to make "critical accounting estimates", which are estimates that involve estimation uncertainty that has had or is reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. The Company's critical accounting policies include allowance for credit losses, valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, the valuation of OREO, the valuation of mortgage servicing rights, and fair value. There have been no material changes to the valuation techniques or models, that affect our estimates during 2022 except as noted below.

Allowance for Credit Losses Policy: For loan pools that utilize the discounted cash flow ("DCF") method, the Company utilizes complex models to obtain reasonable and supportable forecasts to calculate two predictive metrics, the probability of default ("PD") and loss given default ("LGD"). The PD measures the probability that a loan will default within a given time horizon and is an assumption derived from regression models which determine the relationship between historical defaults and certain economic variables. As of December 31, 2021, management utilized and forecasted Alaska unemployment as a loss driver for all of the loans pools that utilized the DCF method. Management also utilized and forecasted either one-year percentage change in the Alaska home price index or the one-year percentage change in the national commercial real estate price index as a second loss driver depending on the nature of the underlying loan pool and how well that loss driver correlated to expected future losses. Additionally, the Company's regression models for PD as of December 31, 2021 utilized the Company's actual historical loan level default data.

As of January 1, 2022, management utilizes and forecasts U.S. unemployment as the sole loss driver for all of the loan pools that utilize the DCF method. The Company's regression models for PD as of January 1, 2022 utilize peer historical loan level default data. Peers for this purpose include banks in the United States with total assets between $1 billion and $5 billion whose loan portfolios share certain characteristics with the Company's loan portfolio. Peers differ by loan segment; a bank is included in the peer group for each loan segment under the following circumstances:

•The percentage the balance of the loan segment compared to total loans over a five year look back period is within 1.5 standard deviations of the Company's data, and

•The percentage of total charge offs for the loan segment over a five year look back period is within 1 standard deviation of the Company's data; and

•The percentage of total charge offs for the loan segment during the recessionary period from the fourth quarter of 2008 to the fourth quarter of 2021 is within 1 standard deviation of the Company's data.

No other changes have been made to the Company's Allowance for Credit Losses Policy since December 31, 2021.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our assessment of market risk as of March 31, 2022 indicates that there are no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative disclosures from those in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Our principal executive and financial officers supervised and participated in this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers each concluded that as of March 31, 2022, the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the periodic reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon various assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any of our plans, products, services or procedures will succeed in achieving their intended goals under future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Disclosure and Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15-d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

During the normal course of its business, the Company is a party to various debtor-creditor legal actions, disputes, claims, and litigation related to the conduct of its banking business. These include cases filed as a plaintiff in collection and foreclosure cases, and the enforcement of creditors’ rights in bankruptcy proceedings. Management does not expect that the resolution of these matters will have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

For information regarding risk factors, please refer to Part I. Item 1A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as updated by the Company's periodic filings with the SEC. These risk factors have not changed materially as of March 31, 2022.
