Operating Results

Net interest income increased $472,000, or 7.3%, to $6.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to $6.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and increased $1.1 million, or 20.6%, from $5.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  The change from the prior quarter and the same quarter one year ago was primarily a result of higher interest income partially offset by an increase in interest expense.

Interest income increased $671,000, or 9.0%, to $8.2 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $7.5 million for the first quarter of 2018 and increased $1.7 million, or 25.3%, from $6.5 million for the second quarter of 2017.  The increase in interest income from loans in both periods was due to higher average loan balances, as loan originations exceeded loan repayments during the period, and higher loan yields.  Average loan balances were $576.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 compared to $549.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and $488.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  The average yield on loans was 5.48% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 compared to 5.27% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and 5.21% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  Interest income on the investment portfolio and cash and cash equivalents increased due to the rise in market interest rates during the second quarter of 2018 compared to one year ago. 

Interest expense increased $199,000, or 19.5%, to $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and increased $459,000, or 60.2%, compared to $763,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  The increase from the sequential quarter and the same quarter one year ago was primarily due to the increase in the average balances and cost of FHLB borrowings.  The average balance of borrowings increased $18.7 million, or 38.0%, to $67.9 million at June 30, 2018 from $49.2 million at March 31, 2018.  The average balance of borrowings increased $42.6 million, or 168.0%, compared to June 30, 2017.  The cost of borrowings increased to 2.01% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 compared to 1.73% for the first quarter of 2018 and was 1.18% for the second quarter of 2017.  We utilize borrowings to supplement our deposits to support loan growth.  The rise in the cost of borrowings was the result of the increase in the target federal funds rate over the past quarter and past year.  Interest expense on deposits increased $71,000, or 8.8%, to $881,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to $810,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and increased $193,000, or 28.1%, from $688,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  The increase in deposit expense was driven by both the rise in the average balance of deposits as well as the cost of deposits.  The average cost of deposits was 0.67% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 0.63% for the first quarter of 2018 and 0.58% for the second quarter of 2017. 

The net interest margin increased to 4.31% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to 4.26% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and 4.27% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  The increase was due to higher average loan yields partially offset by higher funding costs as a result of the increase in the average cost and balance of both deposits and FHLB borrowings.

We recorded a provision for loan losses of $150,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to $100,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.  There was no provision recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  The increase in the provision from the previous periods was primarily due to the increase in the balance of the total loan portfolio which increased 5.5% and 19.6% from the previous quarter and second quarter of 2017,  respectively.

Noninterest income during the second quarter of 2018 remained relatively unchanged at $1.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2018.  Noninterest income increased $107,000, or 10.9%, to $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same quarter in 2017.  This increase was primarily the result of an $82,000, or 31.4%, increase in net gain on sale of loans as well as a positive $58,000 fair value adjustment on mortgage servicing rights, partially offset by a $31,000 decrease in service charges and fee income. 

Noninterest expense remained stable, decreasing slightly by $32,000, or 0.6%, to $5.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to the sequential quarter.  The decrease was primarily a result of a one-time adjustment to salaries and benefits due to the departure of an executive officer, as previously disclosed, as well as a decrease in expenses related to our operations.  In particular, reductions to accruals for marketing and professional fees were partially offset by an increase in audit fees.  Occupancy expense increased due to a one-time adjustment to recognize straight-line rent expense over the life of a lease.

Noninterest expense increased $605,000, or 12.6% to $5.4 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 compared to $4.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, primarily from higher salaries and benefits and operating expenses.  Salaries and benefits expense increased $393,000 compared to the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to an increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees as a result of the addition of our University Place branch and loan production office in Sequim in June 2017.  The percent of incentive bonuses paid out quarterly increased starting in January 2018, which also contributed to the period-over-period increase.  Operations expense increased $169,000 primarily due to an increase in audit fees, losses related to serviced loans, and increases in credit administration fees.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 improved to 67.28%, compared to 71.89% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and 71.22% for the second quarter of 2017.  The improvement in the efficiency ratio compared to the prior quarter and the year ago quarter was due primarily to the increase in net interest income.

The provision for income taxes increased slightly for the second quarter of 2018, compared to the sequential quarter as a result of the increase in income before taxes.  The provision for income taxes decreased $124,000, or 19.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2017 as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which was signed into law on December 22, 2017, and reduced our federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% beginning in January 2018.

Balance Sheet Review, Capital Management and Credit Quality

Total assets at June 30, 2018 were $686.2 million, compared to $659.5 million at March 31, 2018 and $588.3 million at June 30, 2017.  The increase from both the sequential quarter and same quarter last year was primarily a result of the increase in loans. In addition, FHLB stock increased $1.9 million to $3.6 million at June 30, 2018 as compared to $1.7 million at June 30, 2017, as a result of our utilizing additional FHLB advances to fund loan growth over the last year. 

Loans totaled $590.8 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $560.0 million at March 31, 2018 and $493.9 million at June 30, 2017.  All loan categories experienced an increase as compared to the comparative prior periods other than home equity loans. The largest increases in the loan portfolio compared to the prior quarter were in the commercial and multifamily, commercial business, floating homes, and one-to four- family loan portfolios.  The commercial and multifamily loan portfolio increased $15.7 million, or 7.1%, to $236.9 million and the commercial business loan portfolio increased $5.3 million, or 13.9%, to $43.1 million.  The floating homes and one- to four- family loan portfolios increased $4.5 million, or 15.6%, and $4.1 million, or 2.5%, respectively.  The largest increases in the loan portfolio compared to the year ago quarter were in the commercial and multifamily loan portfolio, which increased $41.4 million, or 21.2%, the one- to four- family loan portfolio, which increased $18.5 million, or 12.5%, and the commercial business loan portfolio, which increased $17.8 million, or 70.3%.  At June 30, 2018, commercial and multifamily real estate loans were approximately 40.0% of total loans. One- to four- family loans, including home equity loans, were  approximately 32.5% of the loan portfolio.  Consumer loans, consisting of manufactured homes, floating homes and other consumer loans were approximately 9.7% of total loans at that date.  Construction and land loans were approximately 10.5% of the loan portfolio and commercial business loans were  approximately 7.3% of total loans  at June 30, 2018.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $5.3 million, or 8.1%, to $59.4 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $64.7 million at March 31, 2018 and remained relatively unchanged compared to June 30, 2017.  The decrease from the prior quarter was due to a reduction of our excess liquidity to fund our loan growth. 

Deposits increased $10.2 million, or 1.9%, to $539.4 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $529.2 million at March 31, 2018 and increased $45.7 million, or 9.3%, compared to $493.7 million at June 30, 2017.  The increase in deposits during  the second quarter of 2018 compared to the sequential quarter reflects our continued focus on generating low cost deposits to fund our loan growth.  The increase in deposits in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same quarter last year was the result of organic growth and $14.5 million in deposits assumed as a result of the purchase of our University Place branch in June 2017.  FHLB borrowings increased to $71.0 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $56.0 million at March 31, 2018 and increased from $25.0 million one year ago. 

Nonperforming assets ("NPAs"), which are comprised of non-accrual loans, nonperforming troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), other real estate owned (“OREO”) and other repossessed assets, remained stable at $2.6 million, or 0.39% of total assets, at both June 30, 2018 and  March 31, 2018, and decreased $1.6 million, or 37.3% from $4.2 million, or 0.72% of total assets, at June 30, 2017.

Allowance for loan losses to total nonperforming loans			270.55	%			276.78	%			147.95	%

The increase in the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2018, compared to the prior quarter and the same period a year ago was due to the increase in the balance of the loan portfolio.  Total loans increased $30.8 million, or 5.5%, and $96.9 million, or 19.6%, compared to March 31, 2018, and June 30, 2017, respectively.  Net loan recoveries during the second quarter of 2018 totaled $25,000 compared to net loan charge-offs of $13,000 for the preceding quarter and net loan charge-offs of $3,000 for the second quarter of 2017.

The allowance for loan losses to total loans decreased slightly to 0.93% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 compared to 0.95% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and 0.98% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The decline in the ratio reflects the growth in the loan portfolio and  improvement in the credit quality of our portfolio over the last year.  The allowance for loan losses as a percent of nonperforming loans decreased to 270.6% at June 30, 2018 compared to 276.8% at March 31, 2018 and increased from 148.0% at June 30, 2017.
