First Financial Northwest, Inc.
Reports Net Income of $622,000 or $0.04 Per Share for the First Quarter of 2012
 
Renton, Washington – April 20, 2012 - First Financial Northwest, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ GS: FFNW), the holding company for First Savings Bank Northwest (the “Bank”), today reported net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 of $622,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to net income of $927,000, or $0.05 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 and net income of $1.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

“Our earnings remain positive, although our performance is still highly dependent on the national and local economies. The recent termination of our Consent Order reflects the progress we have made in reducing our nonperforming assets, strengthening our capital position, improving our earnings and improving the overall condition of the Bank. Building on this progress remains subject to continuing economic improvement in our market area. During the first quarter, our net income was $622,000, contributing to our steady rise in book value per share to $9.71 at March 31, 2012 from $9.64 at December 31, 2011. We will continue to keep our main objective in mind, which is to enhance shareholder value while providing a quality customer experience,” stated Victor Karpiak, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Financial Northwest, Inc.
 
Highlights for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 include:
 
·  
The Consent Order (“Order”) was terminated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions (“DFI”) effective March 27, 2012 and replaced with  a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), which is an informal regulatory action with the FDIC and DFI;
·  
Nonperforming assets decreased $905,000 to $48.8 million at March 31, 2012 from December 31, 2011 and decreased $33.5 million, or 40.7%, from March 31, 2011;

·  
Sales of other real estate owned (“OREO”) totaled $5.1 million during the quarter, generating a net gain on sales of $221,000;
·  
Net interest margin increased to 3.11% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 from 2.96% for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, as compared to 3.09% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011;
·  
Net gain on sales of investments during the quarter totaled $194,000;
·  
The Bank’s Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios at March 31, 2012 were 14.28% and 25.46%, respectively.
 
Based on management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, a provision of $1.7 million was required for the first quarter of 2012, an increase of $1.1 million from the fourth quarter of 2011. This increase was primarily the result of a $2.6 million loan charge-off related to one commercial real estate loan. The borrower was current on his payments at March 31, 2012, however the borrower lost tenants, which will severely impact cash flow. As a consequence, the Bank reclassified this loan as impaired and charged it down to its estimated fair value during the first quarter of 2012. This loan was the primary reason for the increase in nonperforming loans at March 31, 2012 from December 31, 2011. Management continues to be proactive in assessing the risk inherent in the loan portfolio and when it is determined that a loan is impaired, the amount of the loss is quantified and immediately charged-off.

The allowance for loan losses decreased $1.7 million to $14.8 million at March 31, 2012, compared to $16.5 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses reflected net charge-offs of $3.4 million and a $25.0 million decrease in the size of our loan portfolio, partially offset by increases to some of the economic factors utilized in the calculation of the allowance for loan losses during the first quarter of 2012. Construction/land development loans continued to decrease, from 3.5% of total loans at December 31, 2011 to 2.8% of total loans at March 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses represented 56.22% of nonperforming loans and 2.13% of total loans at March 31, 2012, compared to 69.89% and 2.29%, respectively, at December 31, 2011.

Nonperforming loans increased $2.7 million to $26.4 million at March 31, 2012, compared to $23.7 million at December 31, 2011, and delinquent loans decreased $1.8 million to $25.0 million at March 31, 2012, as compared to $26.8 million at December 31, 2011. The difference in activity between nonperforming loans and delinquent loans was due to the commercial real estate loan previously discussed, which is current for delinquency purposes but has been classified as impaired and nonperforming based on its future cash flow potential. Nonperforming assets continued to decrease to $48.8 million at March 31, 2012, from $49.7 million at December 31, 2011, as we continue to sell our OREO properties.

OREO decreased $3.6 million, or 13.8%, to $22.4 million at March 31, 2012, from $26.0 million at December 31, 2011, as sales and write-downs of OREO exceeded transfers of loans into OREO during the quarter. We sold $5.1 million of OREO during the first quarter of 2012, generating a net gain of $221,000. We evaluate our OREO inventory quarterly. As a result of this evaluation, we expensed $310,000 related to the decline in the market value of OREO properties and $489,000 of additional expenses related to OREO during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. We continue to actively market our OREO properties in an effort to minimize the amount of holding costs incurred.
 
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2012 increased $87,000 to $7.7 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2011 and decreased $910,000 compared to the same period in 2011.
 
Interest income decreased $2.5 million to $11.2 million for the first quarter of 2012 from the same quarter in 2011, primarily due to the $133.5 million or 16.1% decrease in our average loan portfolio. The decline in our loan portfolio was the result of weak loan demand from credit-worthy borrowers, paydowns due to normal borrower activity, short sales, charge-offs and transfers of nonperforming loans to OREO. Interest income for the first quarter of 2012 decreased $484,000 to $11.2 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2011.

Interest expense decreased $1.6 million to $3.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the same period a year ago. The decline in our total interest expense was principally the result of an $844,000 decrease as a result of a $126.4 million decline in average certificates of deposit during the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same quarter in 2011.  The decrease in our certificates of deposit was a result of the low interest rate environment and customers choosing other investment options. Also contributing to the total decline in interest expense was a $793,000 decrease caused by a 41 basis point decline in our cost of funds during the first quarter of 2012 to 1.62% as compared to 2.03% during the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in our cost of funds was due to new and renewing certificates of deposit pricing at lower interest rates. Interest expense for the first quarter of 2012 decreased $571,000 to $3.5 million from the fourth quarter of 2011.
 
Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 decreased $315,000 to $281,000 from the same quarter in 2011. We recorded $194,000 in net gains on sales of investments during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, compared to $511,000 during the same quarter in 2011. During the first quarter of 2012, we sold $10.8 million of long-term, fixed-rate, mortgage-backed securities and purchased $25.5 million of variable-rate investments. These transactions were executed to continue improving the Bank’s interest rate risk profile. Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2012 decreased $274,000 from the fourth quarter of 2011 due to lower gains on the sale of investments during the quarter.
 
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 decreased $961,000 from the same quarter in 2011. Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2012 decreased $1.0 million to $5.6 million from $6.6 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. The decrease in noninterest expense for both periods was primarily due to a decrease in FDIC deposit insurance expense as a result of the termination of the Order, coupled with decreases in OREO related expenses.
 
Termination of Regulatory Order
 
On March 27, 2012 the Bank’s regulators, the FDIC and the DFI terminated the Order with the Bank that was put in place on September 22, 2010. The termination of the Order was the result of the steps we took in complying with the Order and reducing our level of classified assets, increasing earnings, augmenting management and improving the overall condition of the Bank. The Order was replaced with an MOU, which is

an informal regulatory action with the FDIC and DFI. Further information on the MOU is contained in the Form 8-K we filed with the SEC on April 2, 2012.

___________
(1)  Includes $146.2 million and $147.4 million of non-owner occupied loans at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
   
(2) 
Excludes construction loans that will convert to permanent loans. We consider these loans to be "rollovers" in that one loan is originated for both the construction loan and permanent financing. These loans are classified according to the underlying collateral. As a result, at March 31, 2012, we had $12.5 million, or 5.5%, of our total commercial real estate portfolio and no one-to-four family residential or multifamily loans in these "rollover" type of loans. At December 31, 2011, we had $12.5 million, or 5.4%, of our total commercial real estate portfolio and $3.5 million, or 3.1%, of our total multifamily loan portfolio and no one-to-four family residential loans in these "rollover" type of loans. At both March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $1.8 million of commercial real estate land loans were not included in the construction/ land development category because we classify raw land or buildable lots where we do not intend to finance the construction as commercial real estate land loans.
