DENVER, Oct. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Western Financial, Inc., (“First Western” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: MYFW), today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Net income available to common shareholders was $9.6 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2020. This compares to $8.7 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2020, and $2.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2019.

Scott C. Wylie, CEO of First Western, commented, “We are very pleased to deliver another record quarter of earnings driven by strong growth in both net interest income and non-interest income, while our asset quality continues to remain healthy despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The investments we have made in banking talent and technology over the past few years are having the impact that we expected, resulting in the consistent acquisition of new clients, strong balance sheet growth, improving operating leverage, and greater earnings power.

“With the addition of a number of experienced bankers through our branch purchase consummated in May 2020, we have accelerated our commercial banking initiative and are successfully attracting new commercial relationships. During the third quarter, we generated loan growth of 5.9% and deposit growth of 11.1%, largely due to growth in commercial banking relationships. As a result, we continue to see a shift in our loan mix towards commercial loans, while our deposit mix reflects the inflow of low-cost transaction deposits with non-interest bearing deposits now accounting for approximately 30% of our total deposits.

“We continue to have a strong business development pipeline in both our commercial banking and residential mortgage areas. We expect our mortgage activity to continue providing a significant earnings contribution in the near-term, while the balance sheet growth, strong net interest margin and improving operating leverage resulting from the expansion of our commercial client roster we believe is creating a sustainable path to consistently generating strong returns over the longer-term. As we continue to gain scale through organic growth, expansion and additional strategic acquisitions, we believe that our model will establish First Western as a high performing financial institution and create significant value for our shareholders in the future,” said Mr. Wylie.

Operating Results for the Third Quarter 2020

Revenue

Gross revenue (1) was $31.0 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $26.2 million for the second quarter of 2020. The increase in revenue was driven by a $2.6 million increase in non-interest income, primarily due to higher mortgage segment activity, as well as a $2.1 million increase in net interest income.

(1) Represents a Non-GAAP financial measure. See “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation of our Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Relative to the third quarter of 2019, gross revenue increased $14.3 million from $16.6 million, or 86.3%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to higher mortgage segment activity, as well as a $5.0 million increase in net interest income.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2020 was $12.9 million, an increase of 19.7% from $10.8 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase in net interest income was driven primarily by a $194.1 million, or 15.3% increase in average loan balances attributed to organic growth as well as a relatively stable net interest margin, which was partially impacted by an increase of $0.4 million in accretion of the credit mark from acquired loans.

Relative to the third quarter of 2019, net interest income increased 62.7% from $7.9 million. The year-over-year increase in net interest income was due primarily to growth in average loans including the impact of PPP loans and the branch acquisition.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2020 decreased slightly to 3.07% from 3.10% in the second quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by a 15 basis point decline in the yield on earning assets. On a net basis, the PPP program negatively impacted net interest margin by 31 basis points which was offset by an increase of 15 basis points relating to the impact of purchase accretion from the branch acquisition completed in the second quarter 2020.

Relative to the third quarter of 2019, the net interest margin increased from 2.95%, primarily due to a 100 basis point decline in cost of deposits partially offset by an 83 basis point reduction in average yields on interest earning assets.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2020 was $18.0 million, an increase of 16.9% from $15.4 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was attributable to higher net gain on mortgage loans as a result of record volume of mortgages locked and originated in the quarter. The Company originated $376.3 million of mortgage loans for sale during the quarter compared to $344.3 million the previous quarter, an increase of $32.0 million.

Relative to the third quarter of 2019, non-interest income increased 105.2% from $8.8 million. The increase was attributable to higher net gain on mortgage loans.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2020 was $16.6 million, an increase of 31.5% from $12.6 million for the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to the second quarter deferral of $2.9 million in loan origination expenses related to PPP loans, resulting in higher salaries and employee benefits expense in the current quarter, as well as the full quarter impact of the personnel added through the branch purchase and an increase in incentive compensation accruals correlating with the increase in revenues and earnings.

Non-interest expense increased 23.7% from $13.4 million in the third quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits expense resulting from the personnel added through the branch purchase and an increase in incentive compensation accruals correlating with the increase in revenues and earnings.

The Company’s efficiency ratio was 53.4% in the third quarter of 2020, compared with 48.1% in the second quarter of 2020 and 80.6% in the third quarter of 2019.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2020, representing an effective tax rate of 24.9%, compared to 24.1% for the second quarter of 2020. The increase in effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2020 was primarily attributable to adjustments related to the vesting of restricted stock award.

Loan Portfolio

Total loans, including mortgage loans held for sale, were $1.60 billion at September 30, 2020, an increase of $103.6 million from the end of the prior quarter, and an increase of $603.8 million from September 30, 2019.

Total loans held for investment, were $1.51 billion at September 30, 2020, an increase of 5.9% from $1.42 billion at June 30, 2020, and an increase of 63.1% from $924.4 million at September 30, 2019. The increase in total loans held for investment from June 30, 2020 was primarily due to growth in the 1-4 family residential, commercial real estate, and construction portfolios.

PPP loans were $206.1 million at September 30, 2020, an increase of 0.8% from $204.6 million at June 30, 2020. As of October 16, 2020, the Company has submitted loan forgiveness applications for $85.2 million and received $2.1 million from the Small Business Administration.

Deposits

Total deposits were $1.56 billion at September 30, 2020, compared to $1.41 billion at June 30, 2020, and $1.11 billion at September 30, 2019. The increase in total deposits from June 30, 2020 was attributable to an increase in money market, time, negotiable order of withdrawal and non-interest bearing deposits.

Average total deposits for the third quarter of 2020 increased $420.6 million, or 40.4%, from the third quarter of 2019 and $153.6 million, or 11.7%, from the second quarter 2020.

Borrowings

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve borrowings were $222.1 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $222.3 million at June 30, 2020, a decrease of $0.2 million from the end of the prior quarter, and an increase of $212.1 million from September 30, 2019. The increase from September 30, 2019 is attributable to participation in the Paycheck Protection Program Loan Facility from the Federal Reserve in the amount of $204.1 million. Borrowing from this facility is expected to match the balances of the PPP loans.

Assets Under Management

Total assets under management increased by $378.8 million during the third quarter to $6.13 billion at September 30, 2020, compared to $5.75 billion at June 30, 2020, and $6.12 billion at September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to customer contributions to existing accounts and improving market conditions.

Credit Quality

Non-performing assets totaled $10.4 million, or 0.53% of total assets, at September 30, 2020, compared with $12.1 million, or 0.67% of total assets, at June 30, 2020. The decline in non-performing assets is due to continued pay downs on outstanding balances.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a loan modification program was designed and implemented to assist our clients experiencing financial stress resulting from the economic impacts caused by the global pandemic. The Company offered loan extensions, temporary payment moratoriums, and financial covenant waivers for commercial and consumer borrowers impacted by the pandemic who had a pass risk rating and had not been delinquent over 30 days on payments in the last two years.

At September 30, 2020, the Company has active loan modification agreements on forty-four loans across multiple industries in the amount of $66.7 million, representing a decline of 62.3% from $176.9 million, at June 30, 2020. COVID-19 loan modification agreements represented 4.43% of total loans, at September 30, 2020, compared with 12.42% of total loans, at June 30, 2020. Most of the temporary payment moratoriums were for a period of 180 days or less and the Company is recognizing interest income on these loans.

The Company continues to meet regularly with clients who could be more highly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company receives and reviews current financial data and cash flow forecasts from borrowers with loan modification agreements. As of September 30, 2020, loans which were granted modifications and the modification term has ended have returned to performing status.

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2020, primarily due to the growth in the loan portfolio and the increased economic uncertainty resulting from the pandemic. The Company has increased loan level reviews and portfolio monitoring to thoroughly assess how its clients are being impacted by the current environment.

Capital

At September 30, 2020, First Western (“Consolidated”) and First Western Trust Bank (“Bank”) exceeded the minimum capital levels required by their respective regulators. At September 30, 2020, the Bank was classified as “well capitalized,” as summarized in the following table:
