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 September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2023. 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, 2022.

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, 2022. There have been no significant changes in our application of these accounting policies in 2023.

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 implemented in 2023

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. The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023. The Company elected to adopt the updated guidance on TDR recognition and measurement prospectively; therefore the guidance is applied to modifications occurring after the date of adoption. The amendments on TDR disclosures and vintage disclosures must be adopted prospectively. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Accounting pronouncements to be implemented in future periods

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method ("ASU 2023-02"). Under current GAAP, an entity can only elect to apply the proportional amortization method to investments in low income housing tax credit ("LIHTC") structures. The amendments in ASU 2023-02 allow entities to elect to account for equity investments made primarily for the purpose of receiving income tax credits using the proportional amortization method, regardless of the tax credit program through which the investment earns income tax credits, if certain conditions are met. ASU 2023-02 provides amendments to paragraph ASC 323-740-25-1, which sets forth the conditions needed to apply the proportional amortization

method. The amendments make certain limited changes to those conditions to clarify their application to a broader group of tax credit investment programs. However, the conditions in substance remain consistent with current GAAP. The amendments in this ASU 2023-02 also eliminate certain LIHTC-specific guidance to align the accounting more closely for LIHTCs with the accounting for other equity investments in tax credit structures and require that the delayed equity contribution guidance in paragraph ASC 323-740-25-3 applies only to tax equity investments accounted for using the proportional amortization method. ASU 2023-02 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and must be applied on either a modified retrospective or a retrospective basis. The Company does not have any equity investments made primarily for the purpose of receiving income tax credits except for LIHTC structures, which it accounts for using the proportional amortization method. The Company does not believe that the adoption of ASU 2023-02 will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

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 September 30, 2023, the Company had 82 available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position without an ACL. At September 30, 2023, the Company had five 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 September 30, 2023, management believes that the unrealized losses detailed in the previous table are due to noncredit-related factors, primarily changes in interest rates, and therefore no losses have been recognized in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, carrying amounts of $168.4 million and $59.3 million in securities were pledged for deposits and borrowings, respectively.

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of debt securities at September 30, 2023, 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.

The difference between the amortized cost and unpaid principal balance is net deferred origination fees totaling $8.3 million at September 30, 2023 and $8.6 million at December 31, 2022.

Accrued interest on loans, which is excluded from the amortized cost of loans held for investment, totaled $8.0 million and $5.5 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and is included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Amortized cost in the above table includes $3.2 million and $7.1 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, in Paycheck Protection Program loans administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") within the Commercial & industrial loan segment.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The table below presents activity in the ACL related to loans held for investment for the periods indicated. The ACL for loans held for investment increased $2.7 million from December 31, 2022 primarily due to higher non-government guaranteed loan balances as well as a decrease in estimated prepayment rates in the Company's discounted cash flow model given the current economic environment. These changes were only partially offset by a decrease in the Company's forecasted future unemployment rates.

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 borrower 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.

Loan Modifications: The Company modifies loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as a normal part of our business. These modifications include providing term extensions/modifications, payment modifications, interest rate modifications, or, on rare occasions, principal forgiveness. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged-off against the ACL. The Company may provide multiple types of concessions on one loan.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02 effective January 1, 2023. ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for loans classified as TDRs. TDRs totaled $5.1 million at December 31, 2022.

The following table shows the amortized cost basis of the loans that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified as of the dates indicated, by class and type of modification. The percentage of the amortized cost basis of loans that were modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as compared to the amortized cost basis of each class of financing receivable is also presented below:

Total	$1,196	$848

Upon the Company's determination that a modified loan (or a portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.

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 the earlier of (i) January 1, 2022 or (ii) 60 days after the end of the COVID-19 national emergency. 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 has elected to adopt these provisions of the CARES Act. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has no loan modifications related to COVID-19, which are not classified as TDRs. At December 31, 2022, the Company had made the following types of loan modifications related to COVID-19 with a principal balance outstanding of:


Loan Modifications due to COVID-19 as of December 31, 2022

There were no purchased receivables past due at September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022, and there were no restructured purchased receivables at September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

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 September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

There was no activity and no balance in the ACL for purchased receivables as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

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

5. Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights

The following table details the activity in the Company's mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In Thousands)	2023	2022	2023	2022

Balance, beginning of period	$18,248	$16,301	$18,635	$13,724
Additions for new MSR capitalized	1,458	1,263	2,440	3,378
Changes in fair value:
Due to changes in model inputs of assumptions (1)	—	555	(215)	1,522
Other (2)	(310)	(410)	(1,464)	(915)
Balance, end of period	$19,396	$17,709	$19,396	$17,709

(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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


(In Thousands)	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022

Balance of mortgage loans serviced for others	$982,098		$898,840
Weighted average rate of note	3.82	%	3.47	%
MSR as a percentage of serviced loans	1.97	%	2.07	%

The Company recognized servicing fees of $937,000 and $858,000 during the three-month periods ending September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $2.7 million and $2.4 million during the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2023 and 2022, 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 MSRs and the sensitivity of the current fair value of MSRs to immediate adverse changes in those assumptions as of the dates indicated. See Note 8 for additional information on key assumptions for MSRs.


(In Thousands)	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022

Fair value of MSRs	$19,396		$18,635
Expected weighted-average life (in years)	10.82		9.46

Key assumptions:
Constant prepayment rate1	7.88	%	6.64	%
Impact on fair value from 10% adverse change	($536)		($518)
Impact on fair value from 25% adverse change	($984)		($1,233)
Discount rate	10.97	%	11.25	%
Impact on fair value from 100 basis point increase	($821)		($635)
Impact on fair value from 200 basis point increase	($1,579)		($1,224)
Cost to service assumptions ($ per loan)	$82		$91
Impact on fair value from 10% adverse change	($156)		($153)
Impact on fair value from 25% adverse change	($389)		($382)

1Prepayment speeds are influenced by mortgage interest rates as well as our estimation of drivers of borrower behavior.

These sensitivities in the preceding table are hypothetical and caution should be exercised when relying on this data. Changes in value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumption to the change in the value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the value of the MSR held is calculated independently without changing any other assumptions. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in others, which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

Commercial servicing rights

The commercial servicing rights asset ("CSR") has a carrying value of $2.1 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, 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 $283.7 million and $285.3 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the CSR as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 include a constant prepayment rate of 10.19% and a discount rate of 12.00%.

6. 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 September 30, 2023, the Company has operating lease ROU assets of $9.7 million and operating lease liabilities of $9.7 million. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had operating lease ROU assets of $9.9 million and operating lease liabilities of $9.9 million. The Company did not have any agreements that are classified as finance leases as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

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

7. 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 under regulatory guidelines, 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 $552,000 as of September 30, 2023 and $553,000 as of December 31, 2022, 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 $219.8 million and $226.2 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. At September 30, 2023, the notional amount of interest rate swaps is made up of 20 variable to fixed rate swaps to commercial loan customers totaling $109.9 million, and 20 fixed to variable rate swaps with a counterparty totaling $109.9 million. Changes in fair value from these 20 interest rate swaps offset each other in the first nine months of 2023. The Company recognized no fee income related to interest rate swaps in the three-month periods ending September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $61,000 and $90,000 in fee income related to interest rate swaps in the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2023 and 2022, 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. As of September 30, 2023, the floating rate that the dealer pays is equal to the three month Secured Overnight Financing Rate, also known as SOFR, plus 1.63% which reprices quarterly on the payment date. This rate was 7.04% as of September 30, 2023. The Company pledged $130,000 in cash to collateralize initial margin and fair value exposure of our counterparty on this interest rate swap as of September 30, 2023 and $130,000 as of December 31, 2022. Changes in the fair value of this interest rate swap are reported in other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The unrealized gain, net of tax on this interest rate swap was $1.5 million as of September 30, 2023 and the unrealized gain, net of tax was $1.0 million as of December 31, 2022.

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 $50.1 million and $29.1 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

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.

The following table summarizes the derivatives that have a right of offset as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

8. 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.

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 September 30, 2023, 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.

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, 2022.

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, and the strength of the local economy. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, regarding our financial position, business strategy, management’s plans and objectives for future operations are forward-looking statements. 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 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: potential further increases in interest rates; the value of securities held in our investment portfolio; the impact of the results of government initiatives on the regulatory landscape, natural resource extraction industries, and capital markets; the impact of declines in the value of commercial and residential real estate markets, high unemployment rates, inflationary pressures and slowdowns in economic growth; changes in banking regulation or actions by bank regulators; inflation, supply-chain constraints, and potential geopolitical instability, including the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East; financial stress on borrowers (consumers and businesses) as a result of higher rates or an uncertain economic environment; the general condition of, and changes in, the Alaska economy; our ability to maintain or expand our market share or net interest margin; the sufficiency of our provision for credit losses and the accuracy of the assumptions or estimates used in preparing our financial statements, including those related to current expected credit losses accounting guidance; our ability to maintain asset quality; our ability to implement our marketing and growth strategies; our ability to identify and address cyber-security risks, including security breaches, “denial of service attacks,” “hacking,” and identity theft; disease outbreaks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, or similar health threats and measures implemented to combat them; and our ability to execute our business plan.

Update on Economic Conditions

The Alaska Department of Labor (“DOL”) has reported that Alaska’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in August of 2023 was 3.9% compared to the U.S. rate of 3.8%. The total number of payroll jobs in Alaska, not including uniformed military, increased 1.4% or 4,800 jobs between August of 2022 and August of 2023.

According to the DOL, Leisure and Hospitality had the largest growth in new jobs through August compared to the prior year. The sector added 2,000 positions for a year over year growth rate of 4.8% in August of 2023. The Oil & Gas sector grew the quickest as a percentage of growth at 5.7% or 400 new jobs. Construction added 600 jobs for a 3.2% growth rate and Health Care grew 2.3% or 900 jobs between August of 2022 and August of 2023. Manufacturing decreased 2.2% or 400 jobs due to a decline in seafood processing. The Information and Financial Activities sectors both declined by 100 jobs year over year in August of 2023.

Alaska’s Gross State Product (“GSP”) in the first quarter of 2023, was estimated to be $63.8 billion in current dollars, according to the Federal Bureau of Economic Analysis (“BEA”). Alaska’s inflation adjusted “real” GSP grew 1.6% at an annualized rate in the first quarter of 2023, compared to the average U.S. rate of 2%. Alaska’s real GSP improvement in the first quarter of 2023 was aided by gains in the Construction and Health Care sectors.

The BEA also calculated Alaska’s seasonally adjusted personal income at $52.1 billion in the first quarter of 2023. This was an annualized improvement of 7.2% for Alaska and larger than the national average of 5.1%. Alaskans had annualized wage earnings growth of 6.6%, compared to a U.S. average of 4.6% in the first quarter of 2023.

The monthly average price of Alaska North Slope (“ANS”) crude oil has been in a range between $75.64 and $95.05 in the first nine months of 2023. The Alaska Department of Revenue (“DOR”) calculated ANS crude oil production was 480 thousand barrels per day (“bpd”) in Alaska’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. The DOR has forecast production to increase to 504 thousand bpd in Alaska’s fiscal year 2024. That number is projected to grow by the DOR to 556 thousand bpd in 2028. This is primarily a result of new production coming on line in the NPR-A region west of Prudhoe Bay.

According to the Alaska Multiple Listing Services, the average sales price of a single family home in Anchorage rose 7.6% in 2022 to $456,544. This was the fifth consecutive year of price increases, following growth of 6.9% in 2021 and 5.8% in 2020. In the first nine months of 2023, the average sales price in Anchorage continued to increase 5.4% to $481,360.

Average sales prices for single family homes in the Matanuska Susitna Borough rose 9.9% in 2022 to $382,439, continuing a trend of average price increases for more than a decade. In the first nine months of 2023, the average sales price in the Matanuska Susitna Borough has increased 5.3% to $402,799. These two markets represent where the vast majority of the residential lending activity of Northrim Bank (the “Bank”) occurs.

The Alaska Multiple Listing Services reported there were 1,616 housing units sold in Anchorage in the first nine months of 2023, compared to 2,274 through September of 2022 for a decline of 28.9%. Anchorage home sales also declined by 21.2% in 2022 compared to 2021. For the first nine months of 2023 there were 1,258 homes sales in the Matanuska Susitna Borough, compared to 1,670 through September of 2022 for a decrease of 24.7%. Matanuska Susitna Borough home sales also declined 11.9% in 2022 compared to the prior year.

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System increased its benchmark interest rate target from 4.25%-4.50% as of December 31, 2022 to 5.25%-5.50% as of September 30, 2023. Similarly, the prime rate of interest has increased from 7.50% as of December 31, 2022 to 8.50% as of September 30, 2023.

Highlights and Summary of Performance - Third Quarter of 2023

The Company reported net income and earnings per diluted share of $8.4 million and $1.48, respectively, for the third quarter of 2023 compared to net income and earnings per diluted share of $10.1 million and $1.76, respectively, for the third quarter of 2022. The Company reported net income and earnings per diluted share of $18.8 million and $3.30, respectively, for the first nine months of 2023 compared to net income and earnings per diluted share of $22.1 million and $3.79, respectively, for the first nine months of 2022. The decrease in net income for the three-month period ending September 30, 2023 compared to the same period last year is primarily attributable to a higher provision for credit losses due to loan growth, a decrease in net income in the Home Mortgage Lending segment as a result of decreased production and yields on sold loans, and an increase in salaries and other personnel expense that was only partially offset by a gain on an Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) sale. The decrease in net income for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2023 compared to the same period last year is primarily the result of decreased mortgage banking income, a higher provision for credit losses, and an increase in salaries and other personnel expense. These changes were only partially offset by increased net interest income, purchased receivable income, unrealized gains on marketable securities and the gain on the OREO sale. The first quarter of 2022 also included $2.0 million in keyman insurance proceeds. Increases in interest rates drove the decrease in production in the Home Mortgage Lending segment and the increase in net interest income in the first nine months of 2023 as compared to the same period a year ago.

•Net interest income in the third quarter of 2023 increased slightly to $26.4 million compared to $26.3 million in the third quarter of 2022. Net interest income in the first nine months of 2023 increased 13% to $76.5 million compared to $67.8 million in the first nine months of 2022.

•Net interest margin was 4.15% for the third quarter of 2023, a 7 basis point decrease from the third quarter of 2022. Net interest margin was 4.17% for the first nine months of 2023, a 48 basis point increase from the first nine months of 2022. The decrease in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to lower recoveries of interest income on nonaccrual loans and lower fee income on Paycheck Protection Program loans. These decreases were only partially offset by higher yields on interest-earning assets, net of higher costs on interest-bearing deposits. The increase in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to higher yields on all interest-earning asset categories, which were only partially offset by higher costs on interest-bearing deposits.

•The weighted average interest rate for new loans booked in the third quarter of 2023 was 7.39% compared to 5.83% in the third quarter a year ago.

•Loans were $1.72 billion at September 30, 2023, up 14% from December 31, 2022 primarily as a result of commercial and consumer mortgage loan growth. At September 30, 2023, approximately 74% of loans are variable and 18% of earning assets are subject to rate increases in the fourth quarter of 2023 when prime or other rate indices increase.

•Total deposits were $2.43 billion at September 30, 2023, up 2% from December 31, 2022. Demand deposits decreased 4% at September 30, 2023 from December 31, 2022 and currently represent 31% of total deposits.

•The average cost of interest-bearing deposits for the quarter was 1.75% at September 30, 2023, up from 0.28% at September 30, 2022.

•Total liquid assets and investments and loans maturing within one year were $517.8 million and our funds available for borrowing under our existing lines of credit were $717.2 million at September 30, 2023.

Nonperforming assets: Nonperforming assets, net of government guarantees were $5.2 million at September 30, 2023 and $6.4 million at December 31, 2022. OREO, net of government guarantees, increased to $150,000 at September 30, 2023, from zero at December 31, 2022. Nonperforming loans, net of government guarantees decreased $1.3 million, or 20% to $5.1 million as of September 30, 2023 from $6.4 million as of December 31, 2022, primarily due to payoffs and pay downs in the first nine months of 2023 that were only partially offset by the transfer of two lending relationships to nonaccrual status. $3.8 million, or 73% of nonperforming loans, net of government guarantees at September 30, 2023, are nonaccrual loans related to three commercial relationships.

Potential problem assets: 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 September 30, 2023, management had identified $2.2 million potential problem loans as compared to potential problem loans of $1.6 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in potential problem loans from December 31, 2022 to September 30, 2023 is primarily the result of increased line of credit usage on one loan balance and two new potential problem loans which were only partially offset by various loan paydowns and the movement of one potential problem loan to nonaccrual in the first nine months of 2023. Additionally, the Company has $1.0 million in adversely classified purchased receivables. As of September 30, 2023, management believes that these receivables are collectible and no Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) is considered necessary at this time; however, negative indications may require an ACL in the future.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Income Statement

Net Income

Net income for the third quarter of 2023 decreased $1.8 million to $8.4 million as compared to $10.1 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease in net income in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the same quarter a year ago is largely attributable to a $1.5 million increase in the provision for credit losses due to loan growth, a $1.3 million decrease in mortgage banking income and $1.1 million increase in salaries and other personnel expense that was only partially offset by a gain on OREO sale and lower marketing expenses.

Net income for the first nine months of 2023 decreased $3.4 million to $18.8 million as compared to $22.1 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease in net income in the first nine months of 2023 as compared to the same period a year ago is primarily due to a decrease in mortgage banking income, due to lower production volume, as well as an increase in the provision for credit losses which was only partially offset by an increase in net interest income. Additionally, the Company received $2.0 million in life insurance proceeds in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 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 third quarter of 2023 increased slightly by $39,000, to $26.4 million as compared to $26.3 million for the third quarter of 2022. The net interest margin decreased 7 basis points to 4.15% in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to 4.22% in the third quarter of 2022. Net interest income for the first nine months of 2023 increased $8.7 million, or 13%, to $76.5 million as compared to $67.8 million for the first nine months of 2022. The net interest margin increased 48 basis points to 4.17% in the first nine months of 2023 as compared to 3.69% in the first nine months of 2022.

The increase in net interest income in the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 was primarily the result of increased interest on loans, investments, and interest bearing deposits in other banks which was only partially offset by an increase in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings.

The decrease in net interest margin in the third quarter as compared to the same period of 2022 was primarily due to a decrease in recoveries of interest income on nonaccrual loans which was only partially offset by a favorable change in the mix of earning-assets towards higher loan balances as a percentage of earning-assets. The increase in net interest margin in the first nine months of 2023 as compared to the same period of 2022 was primarily the result of higher yields on earning-assets that was only partially offset by increases in interest expense on borrowings and deposits. Changes in net interest margin in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same periods in the prior year are detailed below:

4Nonaccrual loans are included with a zero effective yield. Average nonaccrual loans included in the computation of the average loan balances were $7.4 million and $9.2 million in the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

5The Company does not have any fed funds sold or securities purchased with agreements to resell to disclose as part of its total interest-earning assets in the periods presented.

6Tax-equivalent yields/costs assume a federal tax rate of 21% and state tax rate of 7.43% for a combined tax rate of 28.43%.

The following tables set forth the changes in consolidated net interest income attributable to changes in volume and to changes in interest rates for the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2023 and 2022. Changes attributable to the combined effect of volume and interest rate have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to interest rates. The Company did not have any fed funds sold or securities purchased with agreements to resell for the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2023 and 2022.

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 ACL at an appropriate level under the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) model. 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 September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In Thousands)	2023	2022	2023	2022
Credit loss expense on loans held for investment	$750	($903)	$2,519	($797)
Credit loss expense on unfunded commitments	440	550	438	757
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	$1,190	($353)	$2,957	($40)

The increase in the ACL for the three and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2023 as compared to the same periods in 2022 is primarily the result of increased loan and unfunded commitment balances, as well as a decrease in management's assumptions for prepayment and curtailment speeds. These changes are only partially offset by improvement in management's forecasted economic factors. 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 September 30, 2023 decreased $670,000, or 8%, to $8.0 million as compared to $8.7 million for the same period in 2022, primarily due to a $1.3 million decrease in mortgage banking income in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same quarter a year ago, which was only partially offset by a $619,000 increase in purchased receivable income. The decrease in mortgage banking income in the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to decreased production volume due primarily to increases in mortgage interest rates.

Other operating income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 decreased $7.4 million, or 27%, to $19.9 million as compared to $27.3 million for the same period in 2022, primarily due to a $8.3 million decrease in mortgage banking income in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period a year ago, which was only partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in purchased receivable income and a $754,000 increase in the fair market value of marketable securities. The decrease in mortgage banking income in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to decreased production volume due largely to increases in mortgage interest rates. Additionally, the Company received $2.0 million in life insurance proceeds in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 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.

Other Operating Expense

Other operating expense for the third quarter of 2023 increased $610,000, or 3%, to $22.9 million as compared to $22.3 million for the same period in 2022 is primarily due to increased salaries and other personnel expense which was only partially offset by a decrease in OREO expense due to subsequent proceeds received in the third quarter of 2023 that are related to a government guarantee on an OREO property sold in December 2022.

Other operating expense for the first nine months of 2023 increased $3.6 million, or 5%, to $70.2 million as compared to $66.6 million for the same period in 2022 primarily due to an increase in salaries and other personnel expense as well as smaller increases in most other expense categories as the Company has grown and increased its number of branches and mortgage origination offices. The Company opened its 18th branch in Nome in the fourth quarter of 2022, its 19th branch in Kodiak in the first quarter of 2023, and a loan production office in Homer in the second quarter of 2023 which contributed to increased salaries and personnel expense for the Community Banking segment.

Income Taxes

For the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, Northrim recorded a lower effective tax rate as compared to the same periods in 2022 as a result of an increase in tax credits and tax exempt interest income as a percentage of pre-tax income in 2023. In the third quarter of 2023, Northrim recorded $1.9 million in state and federal income tax expense, for an effective tax rate of 18.43% compared to $2.9 million and 22.41% for the same period in 2022. In the first nine months of 2023, Northrim recorded $4.5 million in state and federal income tax expense, for an effective tax rate of 19.29% compared to $6.4 million and 22.41% for the same period in 2022.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Balance Sheet Overview

Loans increased by $218.3 million, or 15%, to $1.720 billion at September 30, 2023 from $1.502 billion at December 31, 2022, primarily as a result of increased commercial and consumer mortgage loans.

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 $100.3 million, or approximately 6% of loans as of September 30, 2023 have direct exposure to the oil and gas industry as compared to $83.4 million, or approximately 6% of loans as of December 31, 2022. The Company's unfunded commitments to borrowers that have direct exposure to the oil and gas industry were $34.9 million and $51.8 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The portion of the Company's ACL that related to the loans with direct exposure to the oil and gas industry was estimated at $920,000 as of September 30, 2023 and $786,000 as of December 31, 2022.

The following table details loan balances by loan segment and class of financing receivable for loans with direct oil and gas exposure as of the dates indicated:


(In Thousands)	September 30, 2023	December 31, 2022
Commercial & industrial loans	$81,713	$66,864
Commercial real estate:

Non-owner occupied and multifamily properties	5,582	6,013








Other loans	1,379	1,431
Total	$100,335	$83,416

The Company monitors other concentrations within the loan portfolio depending on trends in the current and future estimated economic conditions. At September 30, 2023, the Company had $124.3 million, or 7% of portfolio loans, in the Healthcare sector, $103.0 million, or 6% of portfolio loans, in the Tourism sector, $79.6 million, or 5% of portfolio loans, in the Accommodations sector, $78.3 million, or 5% of portfolio loans, in the Fishing sector, $71.8 million, or 4% of portfolio loans, in the Retail sector, $62.5 million, or 4% of portfolio loans, in the Aviation (non-tourism) sector, and $48.4 million, or 3% in the Restaurant sector.

The portion of the Company's ACL that related to the loans with exposure to these industries is estimated at the following amounts as of September 30, 2023:


(In Thousands)	Tourism	Aviation (non-tourism)	Healthcare	Retail	Fishing	Restaurant	Accommodations	Total
ACL	$588	$560	$1,015	$596	$503	$365	$653	$4,280

Provision for credit losses	440	550	438	757
Balance at end of period	$2,408	$1,853	$2,408	$1,853

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.

Deposits

Deposits are the Company’s primary source of funds. Total deposits increased $40.7 million, or 2%, to $2.428 billion as of September 30, 2023 compared to $2.387 billion as of December 31, 2022. The following table summarizes the Company's composition of deposits as of the periods indicated:


	September 30, 2023			December 31, 2022
(In thousands)	Balance	% of total		Balance	% of total
Demand deposits	$764,647	31	%	$797,434	34	%
Interest-bearing demand	875,814	36	%	767,686	32	%
Savings deposits	265,799	11	%	320,917	13	%
Money market deposits	230,814	10	%	308,317	13	%
Time deposits	290,856	12	%	192,857	8	%
Total deposits	$2,427,930			$2,387,211

The Company’s mix of deposits continues to contribute to a low cost of funds with balances in transaction accounts representing 88% of total deposits at September 30, 2023 and 92% of total deposits at December 31, 2022.

The only deposit category with stated maturity dates is certificates of deposit. At September 30, 2023, the Company had $290.9 million in certificates of deposit as compared to certificates of deposit of $192.9 million at December 31, 2022. At September 30, 2023, $182.0 million, or 61%, of the Company’s certificates of deposits are scheduled to mature over the next 12 months as compared to $128.4 million, or 67%, of total certificates of deposit at December 31, 2022. The aggregate amount of certificates of deposit in amounts of $250,000 and greater at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $121.1 million and $77.5 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 September 30, 2023:


	Time Certificates of Deposit
	of $250,000 or More
		Percent of Total Deposits
(In Thousands)	Amount
Amounts maturing in:
Three months or less	$30,550	25	%
Over 3 through 6 months	16,919	14	%
Over 6 through 12 months	22,309	18	%
Over 12 months	51,281	43	%
Total	$121,059	100	%

At September 30, 2023, 71% of total deposits were held in business accounts and 29% of deposit balances were held in consumer accounts. Northrim had approximately 33,000 deposit customers with an average balance of $73,000 as of September 30, 2023. Northrim had 16 customers with balances over $10 million as of September 30, 2023 which accounted for $370.6 million, or 15%, of total deposits.

Uninsured deposits totaled $999.5 million or 41% of total deposits as of September 30, 2023 compared to $1.1 billion or 46% of total deposits as of December 31, 2022. As interest rates continued to increase in the first nine months of 2023, Northrim has taken a proactive, targeted approach to increase deposit rates. There was no unusual deposit activity during the first nine months of 2023.

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 September 30, 2023, our maximum borrowing line from the FHLB was $1.248 billion, approximately 45% of the Bank’s assets, subject to the FHLB’s collateral requirements. The Company has outstanding advances of $14.0 million as of September 30, 2023 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%. Additionally, the Company has a short-term $50.0 million advance from the FHLB outstanding as of September 30, 2023 at a fixed rate of 5.49% which matures on November 14, 2023.

Federal Reserve Bank: The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the “Federal Reserve Bank”) is holding $60.0 million of securities as collateral to secure the Company's ability to take advances through the discount window on September 30, 2023. There were no discount window advances outstanding at either September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. The Federal Reserve Bank is holding $20.0 million of securities as collateral to secure the Company's ability to take advances through the Federal Reserve Bank's Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”) on September 30, 2023. There were no BTFP advances outstanding at September 30, 2023.

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 $970.5 million at September 30, 2023 and $930.1 million at December 31, 2022.

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

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 2023. 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 September 30, 2023, the Company has 10.0 million authorized shares of common stock, of which 5.5 million are issued and outstanding, leaving 4.5 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 $111.2 million, or 4% of total assets at September 30, 2023 compared to $259.4 million, or 10% of total assets as of December 31, 2022. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents since the end of 2022 is primarily due to an increase in loans. The Company had other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $1.4 million for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2023 primarily due to unrealized holding gains on available for sale securities. Accumulated unrealized losses, net of income taxes on available for sale securities, which are recorded in total shareholders' equity, are $26.5 million as of September 30, 2023. Accumulated unrealized losses, net of income taxes on held to maturity securities, which are not recorded in shareholders' equity, are $3.2 million as of September 30, 2023. Management does not believe that liquidation of these securities, which would result in realized losses, will occur prior to maturity of these securities. As of September 30, 2023, the weighted average maturity of available for sale securities is 2.8 years compared to 3.3 years at December 31, 2022 and 4.1 years at December 31, 2021. At September 30, 2023, $135.1 million available for sale securities mature within one year, $173.9 million mature within one to two years, and $186.8 million mature within two to three years. Our total unfunded commitments to fund loans and letters of credit at September 30, 2023 were $460.3 million. We do not expect that all of these loans are likely to be fully drawn upon at any one time. At September 30, 2023, certificates of deposit totaling $182.0 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. At September 30, 2023 the Company has a $50 million FHLB advance that is due in November 2023. Management believes that cash requirements to fund future non-deposit and non-borrowing liabilities, including operating lease liabilities and other liabilities, as of September 30, 2023, are not material to the Company's liquidity position as of September 30, 2023.

The Company has other available sources of liquidity to fund unforeseen liquidity requirements. These include borrowings available through our correspondent banking relationships and our credit lines with the Federal Reserve Bank and the FHLB. At September 30, 2023, our liquid assets, which include investments and loans maturing within a year, were $517.8 million. Our funds available for borrowing under our existing lines of credit based on loans currently pledged and investments available to be pledged as collateral were $717.2 million. Additionally, the Company can obtain borrowings under the BTFP as a source of liquidity in order to help assure that banks have the ability to meet the needs of all depositors. The BTFP allows eligible depository institutions to pledge high-quality securities to obtain liquidity and eliminate the need for the financial institution to sell securities quickly in times of stress. 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 for 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 used by operating activities was $11.1 million for the first nine months of 2023, primarily due to cash used in connection with the origination of loans held for sale, which was only partially offset by cash provided by net income and net proceeds from the sale of loans held for sale. Net cash used by investing activities was $210.7 million for the same period, primarily due to an increase in loans which was only partially offset by maturities and calls of available for sale securities. Net cash provided by financing activities in the same period was $73.7 million, primarily due to increases in deposits and borrowings, which were only partially offset by cash dividends paid to shareholder and repurchases of common stock.

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 152,887 shares of its common stock under the Company's previously announced repurchase programs in the first nine months of 2023. At September 30, 2023, there are 132,113 shares remaining under the repurchase program. The Company may elect to continue to repurchase our common 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 September 30, 2023, 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 2023, 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 September 30, 2023, 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


September 30, 2023
Total risk-based capital	8.00%	10.00%	12.58%	10.97%
Tier 1 risk-based capital	6.00%	8.00%	11.67%	10.06%
Common equity tier 1 capital	4.50%	6.50%	11.21%	10.07%
Leverage ratio	4.00%	5.00%	9.02%	7.76%

See Note 22 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, 2022 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, 2022. 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, 2022. 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 mortgage servicing rights, and fair value. There have been no material changes to the valuation techniques or models, that affect our estimates during 2023.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our assessment of market risk as of September 30, 2023 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, 2022.

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 September 30, 2023, 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 September 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
