First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles (“First Federal”) is the only community bank headquartered
on the North Olympic Peninsula. First Federal opened its doors in 1923 under the name of Lincoln Savings and Loan
Association and made its first home loan on April 18, 1923, for $500. Since then, First Federal has continued to grow
along with the financial needs of the communities it serves.
We have always been strongly motivated by our historic role as a community bank in the areas we serve - namely to
provide these communities with a safe and secure place to bank where we encourage savings and then invest those
savings by making loans to community members. This philosophy has helped our communities prosper for almost 95
years. Today we are proud to be serving Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, Whatcom and King counties through our branches,
Interactive Teller Machines and Home Lending Center.
First Federal is rooted in the values that have strengthened our communities and to this day continues its commitment
to provide the best in financial services and community support, because we are community people!

On January 29, 2015, First Federal converted from a mutual to stock savings
bank and formed First Northwest Bancorp as its holding company. In
connection with the conversion, a private foundation was established to
continue First Federal’s 93-year history of giving back to the communities
it serves. With a gift of cash and stock valued at $12 million from First
Northwest Bancorp, the Foundation received the funding it needed to ensure
it would have a meaningful impact on the communities we serve for years to
come.
Since that time, the First Federal Community Foundation has awarded
$1.9 Million in grants to recipients located in the communities in which
First Federal operates its full-service banking locations. The Foundation’s awards
target four key priorities: Community Support; Affordable Housing; Economic
Development; and Community Development.
The Company has enthusiastically embraced and supported its new Foundation
and will continue to do so in the future. Although the Foundation is organized
as a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, there is a strong collaboration
between these entities through common board and officer involvement.
Volunteers from the Company also serve on the Foundation’s Advisory
Committee. With encouragement from its board and executives, the Company’s
employees interact regularly with the Foundation, promoting its benefits within
their communities and participating in Foundation events.
Since 2015, the foundation has given over
$1.9 Million
in donations

Item 1. Business
General
First Northwest Bancorp ("First Northwest" or the "Company"), a Washington corporation, was formed for
the purpose of becoming the bank holding company for First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles
("First Federal" or the "Bank") in connection with the Bank's conversion from the mutual to stock form of
ownership, which was completed on January 29, 2015.
At December 31, 2017, we had total assets of $1.2 billion, net loans of $779.1 million, total deposits of
$885.0 million, and total shareholders' equity of $177.0 million. The Company's business activities are generally
limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in First Federal. Accordingly, the information
set forth in this report, including consolidated financial statements and related data, relates primarily to First Federal.
First Northwest is a bank holding company subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”). First Federal is examined and regulated by the Washington State Department
of Financial Institutions, Division of Banks (“DFI”) and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

First Federal is a community-oriented financial institution serving Western Washington with offices in

one- to four-family residential properties. On January 8, 2018, we opened our newest full-service branch on
Bainbridge Island, Washington in Kitsap County.
We offer a wide range of products and services focused on the lending and depository needs of the
communities we serve. Lending activities include the origination of first lien one- to four-family mortgage loans,
commercial and multi-family real estate loans, construction and land loans (including lot loans), commercial
business loans, and consumer loans, consisting primarily of home equity loans and lines of credit as well as
automobile loans. Over the last five years we have significantly increased the origination of higher-yielding
commercial real estate, multi-family real estate, and construction loans. We offer traditional consumer and business
deposit products, including transaction accounts, savings and money market accounts and certificates of deposit for
individuals and businesses. Deposits are our primary source of funds for our lending and investing activities.
The executive office of the Company is located at 105 West 8th Street, Port Angeles, Washington 98362,

Our business plan includes the intent to extend our operations throughout the Puget Sound Region. This
region dominates the economy of the Pacific Northwest and is broadly defined as the area surrounding the inlet of
the Pacific Ocean that extends into the northwestern section of the state of Washington. The population of this
additional region (beyond our current market area) is approximately 4.3 million, or 58.1% of the state's population.
The market area is a mix of urban, suburban and rural areas, with the Seattle metropolitan area harboring a well-
developed urban area along the eastern portion of Puget Sound. The region extends from Whatcom County in the
north on the Canadian border to Thurston and Pierce counties to the south. Other key metropolitan areas within the
Puget Sound region include Bellingham (Whatcom County), Burlington (Skagit County), Everett (Snohomish
County), Tacoma (Pierce County) and Olympia (Thurston County).
Key employment sectors include aerospace, military, information technology, clean technology,
biotechnology, education, logistics, international trade, and tourism. The region is well known for the long-term
presence of The Boeing Corporation and Microsoft, two major industry leaders. The military presence includes a
number of large installations serving the U.S. Air Force, Army and Navy. Given the employment profile, the region's
workforce is generally highly educated. Washington's geographic proximity to the Pacific Rim along with a deep
water port has made it a center for international trade, which contributes significantly to the regional economy. The
Washington ports make Washington the fourth largest exporting state in the nation, and the top five trading partners
with Washington include China, Mexico, Canada, Japan and Korea. Tourism has also developed into a major
industry for the area, due to the scenic beauty, temperate climate, and easy accessibility. Maritime industry
employment, supported by the trade and fishing industries, is also an important employment sector.
For a discussion regarding the competition in our primary market area, see “Competition.”

One- to Four-Family Real Estate Lending. At December 31, 2017, one- to four-family residential
mortgage loans (excluding loans held for sale) totaled $355.4 million, or 45.2%, of our total loan portfolio, including
$42.4 million, or 11.9%, of loans secured by properties outside the state of Washington, primarily in the states of
California and Ohio. We originate both fixed and adjustable-rate residential loans, which can be sold in the
secondary market or retained in our portfolio, and supplement originations with loan purchases from time to time,
depending on our balance sheet objectives. Residential loans are underwritten to either secondary market standards
for sale or to internal underwriting standards, which may not meet Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
("Freddie Mac") and Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") eligibility requirements.
Fixed-rate residential mortgages are offered with repayment terms between 10 and 30 years, priced off of
Freddie Mac posted daily pricing indications adjusted for economic and competitive considerations. Adjustable-rate
residential mortgage products with similar amortization terms are also offered, with an interest rate that is typically
fixed for an initial period ranging from 1 to 7 years with annual adjustments thereafter. Future interest rate
adjustments include periodic caps of no more than 2% and lifetime caps of 5% to 6% above the initial interest rate,
with no borrower prepayment restrictions.
Adjustable-rate mortgage loans could increase credit risk when interest rates rise. An increase to the
borrower's loan payment may affect the borrower's ability to repay and could increase the probability of default. To
mitigate this risk to both the borrower and First Federal, adjustable rate loans contain both periodic and lifetime
interest rate caps, limiting the amount of payment changes. In addition, depending on market conditions, we may
underwrite the borrower at a higher interest rate and payment amount than the initial rate. We do not offer
adjustable-rate mortgages with deep discount teaser rates. At December 31, 2017, the average interest rate on our
adjustable-rate mortgage loans was approximately 23.1% under the fully indexed rate. As of December 31, 2017, we
had $135.9 million, or 17.3%, of adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans in our residential loan portfolio.
The underwriting process considers a variety of factors including credit history, debt to income ratios,
property type, loan to value ratio, and occupancy. For loans with over 80% loan to value ratios, we typically require
private mortgage insurance, which reduces our exposure to loss in the event of a loan default. Credit risk is also
mitigated by obtaining title insurance, hazard insurance, and flood insurance. Residential mortgage loans which
require appraisals are appraised by independent fee appraisers.
In connection with rules and regulations issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB"),
defining qualified mortgage loans based on the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, we believe that generally all of
our mortgage loans originated meet this standard.
First Federal does not actively engage in subprime mortgage lending, either through advertising, marketing,
underwriting and/or risk selection, and has no established program to originate or purchase subprime mortgage
loans.
Commercial and Multi-Family Real Estate Lending. At December 31, 2017, $203.0 million, or 25.8%,
and $73.8 million, or 9.4%, of our total loan portfolio was secured by commercial and multi-family real estate
property, respectively. At December 31, 2017, we have identified $45.8 million of our commercial real estate
portfolio as owner-occupied commercial real estate and $230.9 million is secured by income producing, or non-
owner-occupied, commercial real estate. Substantially all of our commercial real estate and multi-family loans are
secured by properties located in Washington State.
These loans are generally priced at a higher rate of interest than one- to four-family residential loans, to
compensate for the greater risk associated with higher loan balances and the complexity of underwriting and
monitoring. Repayment on loans secured by commercial or multi-family properties is dependent on successful
management by the property owner to create sufficient net operating income to meet debt service requirements.
Changes in economic and real estate market conditions can affect net operating income, capitalization rates, and
ultimately the valuation and marketability of the collateral. As a result, we analyze market data including vacancy
rates, absorption percentages, leasing rates, and competing projects under development. Interest rate, occupancy and
capitalization rate stress testing are required as part of our underwriting analysis. If the borrower is a corporation, we
generally require and obtain personal guarantees from the corporate principals, which include underwriting of their
personal financial statements, tax returns, cash flows and individual credit reports, which provides us with additional
support and a secondary source for repayment of the debt.
We offer both fixed- and adjustable-rate loans on commercial and multi-family real estate, which may
include balloon payments. As of December 31, 2017, we had $144.3 million in adjustable-rate commercial real
13
estate loans and $54.0 million in adjustable-rate multi-family loans. Commercial and multi-family real estate loans
with adjustable rates generally adjust after an initial period of three to five years. These loans generally have
maturity dates between 3 and 10 years. Amortization terms are generally limited to terms up to 25 years on
commercial real estate loans and up to 30 years on multi-family loans. Adjustable-rate multi-family residential and
commercial real estate loans are generally priced to market indices with appropriate margins, which may include the
U.S. Constant Maturity Treasury Rate, London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), The Wall Street Journal prime
rate, or other acceptable index. Substantially all adjustable-rate commercial and multi-family real estate loans are
subject to a floor rate, and the weighted average floor rate on these loans was 4.15% at December 31, 2017. Of all of
the adjustable-rate commercial loans, 47.9% are subject to a ceiling rate, and the weighted average ceiling rate on
those loans was 9.03% at December 31, 2017.
The maximum loan to value ratio for commercial and multi-family real estate loans is typically limited to
75% of the appraiser opinion of market value. The minimum debt to income service ratio is 1.20x for non-owner-
occupied and owner-occupied properties. We require independent appraisals or evaluations on all loans secured by
commercial real estate from an approved appraisers list.
We require most of our commercial and multi-family real estate loan borrowers to submit annual financial
statements and/or rent rolls on the subject property, as well as personal financial statements of borrowers and
guarantors. These properties may also be subject to annual inspections to support that the appropriate maintenance is
being performed by the owner/borrower. All commercial real estate loans over $1.0 million are reviewed at least
annually. The loan and its borrowers and/or guarantors are subject to an annual risk certification verifying that the
loan is properly risk rated based upon covenant compliance and other terms as provided for in the loan agreements.
While this process does not prevent loans from becoming delinquent, it does provide us with the opportunity to
better identify problem loans in a timely manner and to work with the borrower prior to the loan becoming
delinquent.

If we foreclose on a multi-family or commercial real estate loan, the marketing and liquidation period can
be a lengthy process with substantial holding costs. Vacancies, deferred maintenance, repairs and market stigma can
result in real or perceived losses for the time it takes to return the property to profitability. Depending on the
individual circumstances, initial charge-offs and subsequent losses on commercial real estate loans can be
unpredictable and substantial.
The average outstanding loan size in our commercial real estate portfolio, including multi-family loans,
was $1.1 million as of December 31, 2017. We generally target individual commercial and multi-family real estate
loans between $1.0 million and $5.0 million to small and mid-size owners and investors in our market areas as well
as other parts of Washington. We will also make commercial and multi-family real estate loans in other states if we
have a pre-existing relationship with the borrower.
Our three largest commercial and multi-family borrowing relationships at December 31, 2017 consisted of
an $18.0 million relationship secured primarily by two multi-family projects in King County, a $12.5 million
relationship secured by multi-family residential in Snohomish County, and an $11.2 million relationship primarily
secured by a hotel in King County.
Construction and Land Lending. Our construction and land loans decreased $485,000, or 0.7%, to $71.1
million, or 9.0% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2017 compared to $71.6 million at June 30, 2017. At
December 31, 2017, the undisbursed portion of construction loans in process totaled $59.4 million compared to
$32.0 million at June 30, 2017.
First Federal offers an “all-in-one” residential custom construction loan product, which upon completion of
construction will be held in our loan portfolio. We also originate construction loans for certain commercial real
estate projects. These projects include, but are not limited to, subdivisions, multi-family, retail, office/warehouse,
hotel, and office buildings. Underwriting criteria on these loans include, but are not limited to, minimum debt
service coverage requirements of 1.20 or better, loan to value limitations, pre-leasing requirements, construction cost
over-run contingency reserves, interest and absorption period reserves, occupancy, capitalization rates and interest
rate stress testing, as well as other underwriting criteria.
Construction loan applications generally require architectural and working plans, a material specifications
list, detailed cost breakdown and a construction contract. Construction loan advances are based on progress
payments for “work in place” based on detailed line item construction budgets. Independent construction inspectors
are used to evaluate the construction draw request relative to the progress and “work in place.” Our construction
administrator reviews all construction projects, inspection reports and construction loan advance requests to ensure
they are appropriate and in compliance with all loan conditions. Other risk management tools include title insurance,
date down endorsements or periodic lien inspections prior to the payment of construction loan advances. In some
cases, general contractors may be required to provide sub-contractor lien releases for any work performed prior to
the filing of our deed of trust or prior to each construction loan advance.
Custom and speculative construction valuations are based on the assumption that the project will be built in
accordance with plans and specifications submitted to us at the time of the loan application. The appraiser takes into
consideration the proposed design and market appeal of the improvements, based on current market conditions and
demand for homes, although the improvements may not be completed for six to twelve months or longer, depending
on the complexity of the plans and specifications and market conditions.
Land acquisition, development and construction loans are available to local contractors and developers for
the purpose of holding and/or developing residential building sites and homes when market conditions warrant such
activity. Land acquisition loans are secured by a first lien on the property and are generally limited to 65% of the
acquisition price or the appraised value, whichever is less. Development land loans are generally limited to 75% of
the discounted appraised value based on the projected lot sale absorption rate and associated carry and liquidation
costs of the developed lots and homes. Underwriting criteria for acquisition and development loans include evidence
of preliminary plat approval, compliance with state and Federal environmental protection and disclosure laws,
engineering plans, detailed cost breakdowns and marketing plans. These loans have been limited to projects within
the North Olympic Peninsula and Puget Sound region. Other risk management tools include title insurance,
feasibility and market absorption reports.
The success of land acquisition, development and construction lending is dependent upon successful
completion of the project and the sale or leasing of the property for repayment of the loan. Because of the
uncertainties inherent in the estimates related to construction costs, the market value of the completed project, the
16
demand for the property at completion, the rates of interest paid, and other factors, actual results may vary and can
have a significant adverse impact on the value and marketability of the collateral.
At December 31, 2017, the average construction commitment for single family residential construction was
$395,000, for multi-family construction was $3.4 million and for commercial real estate construction was $1.1
million. The largest construction commitments for multi-family and commercial real estate were $7.9 million and
$3.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2017.
Substantially all of our land acquisition, development and construction lending have adjustable rates of
interest based on The Wall Street Journal prime rate. During the term of construction, the accumulated interest on
the loan is either added to the principal of the loan through an interest reserve or billed monthly, as is the case for
acquisition and development loans. When original interest reserves set up at origination are exhausted, no additional
reserves are permitted unless the loan is re-analyzed and it is determined that the additional reserves are appropriate.
Because an incomplete construction project is difficult to sell in the event of default, we may be required to
advance additional funds and/or contract with another builder in order to complete construction. There is a risk that
we may not fully recover unpaid loan funds and associated construction and liquidation costs under these
circumstances. Speculative construction loans carry additional risk associated with identifying an end-purchaser for
the finished project.
We also originate individual lot loans, which are secured by a first lien on the property, for borrowers who
are planning to build on the lot within the next five years. Generally, these loans have a maximum loan to value ratio
of 75% for improved lands (legal access, water and power) and 50% to 65% for unimproved land. The interest rate
on these loans is fixed with a 20-year amortization and a five-year term.

Our construction and land loans are geographically disbursed throughout the state of Washington and, as a
result, these loans are susceptible to risks that may be different depending on the location of the project. We manage
all of our construction lending by utilizing a licensed third party vendor to assist us in monitoring our construction
projects, with construction loan proceeds disbursed periodically as construction progresses and as inspections by our
approved third party vendor are warranted.

Consumer Lending. We offer a variety of consumer loans, including home equity loans and lines of credit,
new and used automobile loans, loans on other miscellaneous vehicles, and personal lines of credit. At December 31,
2017, home equity loans and lines of credit totaled $38.5 million, or 4.9% of the loan portfolio. Our interest rates on
home equity loans are priced for risk based on credit score, loan to value and overall credit quality of the applicant.
Home equity loans are made for, among other purposes, the improvement of residential properties and other
consumer needs. Some of these loans are secured by first liens; however, the majority of these loans are secured by a
second deed of trust on the residential property. Fixed-rate, fully-amortizing home equity loans in first lien position
are available up to a maximum loan amount of $750,000 with repayment periods ranging from 5 to 20 years. We
also offer a home equity line of credit product, which has a 5 year, interest-only term with the remaining balance at
the end of the term amortized over a period of 15 years, up to a maximum of $250,000 if in first lien position. Home
equity fixed and line of credit products in second lien positions have a maximum loan amount of $75,000. We also
offer, to borrowers who qualify, a five-year home equity line of credit with a discounted initial fixed interest rate for
the first year with the interest rate adjusting annually thereafter based on a margin over the prime rate; payments are
interest-only for the first year. The balance and rate are fixed after five years and the principal amortized over the
remaining fifteen year period of the loan. Home equity loans and lines of credit have greater risk than one- to four-
family residential mortgage loans because they are secured by mortgages subordinated to the existing first mortgage
on the property, which we may or may not have private mortgage insurance coverage.
We offer several options for vehicle purchase or refinance with a maximum term of up to 84 months
depending on the age and condition of the vehicle. Loan rates for auto lending, as well as all other consumer loans,
are priced based on the specific loan type and the risk involved. Direct and indirect lending sources are used to
originate auto loans.
Indirect auto loans are originated with auto dealerships located throughout our market areas through a third
party service provider that also facilitates a portion of the underwriting and origination of these loans based on our
underwriting and pricing criteria. As of December 31, 2017, we worked with 29 auto dealerships within our market
19
areas, which provides us with the opportunity to actively deepen customer relationships through cross-selling
opportunities. At December 31, 2017, auto loans totaled $24.3 million, of which $20.0 million were originated
through dealer programs. Indirect auto customers receive a fixed rate loan in an amount and at an interest rate that is
based on their FICO credit score, age of the vehicle, and loan term. Our underwriting and pricing criteria for indirect
auto loans focuses primarily on the ability of the borrower to repay the loan rather than the value of the underlying
collateral. Loan may be made up to the full sales price of the vehicle plus "Additional Vehicle Costs" such as sales
tax, dealer preparation fees, license fees and title fees, service and warranty contracts, and "GAP" insurance
coverage obtained in connection with the vehicle. Accordingly, the amount financed by us may exceed the
manufacturer's suggested retail price of the financed vehicle and the Additional Vehicle Costs. In the case of used
vehicles, the amount financed may exceed the vehicle's value as assigned by the Kelly Blue Book, our primary
reference source of used cars and the Additional Vehicle Costs. In January 2017, a "final LTV" was implemented,
limiting the loan to value ratio to 100% of the full sales price plus Additional Vehicle Costs. The loan term averages
70 months, which is comparable to national auto industry data.
Because our primary focus for indirect auto loans is on the credit quality of the customer rather than the
value of the collateral, the collectability of an indirect auto loan is more likely to be affected by adverse personal
circumstances than a single-family first mortgage loan. We rely on the borrower's continuing financial stability,
rather than on the value of the vehicle, for the repayment of an indirect auto loan.
Consumer loans represent additional risks because of the mobility and rapidly depreciating nature of
consumer assets in contrast to real estate based collateral. If a borrower defaults, repossession and liquidation of the
collateral may not provide sufficient proceeds to satisfy the outstanding loan balance. Other factors that may account
for potential loan losses on consumer loans include deferred maintenance and damages. While subsequent legal
actions and judgments against borrowers in default may be appropriate, such collection efforts and costs may not
always be warranted and are evaluated on a case by case basis. Consumer loan collections are dependent on the
borrower’s continuing financial stability and federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and
insolvency laws, may limit the amount that can be recovered on these loans.
Commercial Business Lending. As of December 31, 2017, commercial business loans totaled $16.3
million, or 2.1%, of our loan portfolio. These loans include lines of credit, term loans, and letters of credit used for
general business purposes, including seasonal and permanent working capital, equipment financing, and general
investments. In general, these loans are typically secured by business assets and loan terms vary from one to seven
years with floating rates indexed to LIBOR, The Wall Street Journal prime rate or other indices.
Commercial business loans typically have shorter maturity terms and higher interest spreads than real estate
loans but generally involve more credit risk because of the type and nature of the collateral. We are focusing our
efforts on small-to-medium sized, privately-held companies with local or regional businesses that operate in our
market area. Our commercial business lending policy includes an analysis of the borrower’s financial condition,
past, present and future cash flows, as well as the collateral pledged as security. We generally obtain personal
guarantees on our commercial business loans.
Our commercial business loans are originated based on the global cash flow of the borrowing entity, which
may be unpredictable due to normal business cycles, industry changes, and economic and political conditions.
Secondary and tertiary sources of repayment are guarantor cash flows and collateral liquidation. Most often, this
collateral consists of real estate, accounts receivable, inventory, or equipment. Collateral may fluctuate in value,
which can reduce liquidation proceeds, and our ability to collect on accounts receivable or other third party
payments can affect the amount of losses we incur in the event of default.
Loan Origination and Underwriting. Our loans are obtained from a variety of sources, including existing
or walk-in customers, business development, referrals, and advertising, among others. All of our consumer loan
products, including residential mortgage loans and secured and unsecured consumer loans are processed through our
centralized processing and underwriting center. Commercial business loans, including commercial and multi-family
real estate loans, are originated by our relationship managers ("RMs") and underwritten centrally with formalized
credit presentations submitted for approval to the appropriate individuals and committee(s) with lending authority
designated by the Board of Directors.
Lending Authority. Through its current policy, the Board of Directors delegates lending authority to the
Bank’s management and staff, to the Senior Loan Committee ("SLC") and to the Board of Directors' Loan and Asset
Quality Committee ("BLC"). Overdrafts and small business express loans require one signature. The Chief Credit
Officer ("CCO") has the authority to approve overdrafts up to $100,000, and certain other staff and management
20
have authority to approve overdrafts ranging from $5,000 to $50,000. Our small business express loans which are
commercial business loans of $50,000 or less, are approved by the CCO or designated personnel and management.
In addition, the CCO may approve Automated Clearing House and Remote Deposit Capture transactions in any
amount, and has the authority to approve most modifications and extensions of credit in any amount, for terms of
less than one year.
Mortgage loans require at least two signatures with cumulative approval authority up to the loan amount
requested. Underwriters have approval authority of $424,100. The Consumer and Mortgage Manager and CCO have
approval authority of $1.0 million. Mortgage loans over $2.0 million are approved by the SLC, and loans $6.0
million and over are approved by the BLC.
Commercial loans require at least two signatures with cumulative approval authority up to the loan amount
requested. The CCO has approval authority of $1.0 million, and other personnel have approval authority ranging
from $250,000 to $500,000. Commercial loan relationships over $2.5 million are approved by the SLC, and loans
over $6.0 million are approved by the BLC. The SLC has the authority to exceed the $6.0 million limitation when
approving a new loan as part of an existing commercial relationship, not to exceed $750,000.
Consumer loans require at least two signatures with cumulative approval authority up to the loan amount
requested. The Consumer and Mortgage Manager has approval authority for consumer loans of $250,000 and certain
named individuals have authority ranging from $35,000 to $50,000. Additionally, we have assigned authority to
approve indirect auto loans meeting our underwriting and pricing criteria to our third party service provider. Indirect
auto loan reports are reviewed daily for adherence to our policies.
Monthly, the SLC and the BLC review loan portfolio quality, concentrations, production, and industry
trends and provide directional oversight. On a quarterly basis, the BLC reviews the SLC approved loans, and the
Board of Directors reviews the BLC approved loans, as well as policy exceptions, credit concentrations and related
risk concerns. Additionally, all policies are reviewed no less than annually.
Washington law provides for loans to one borrower restrictions, which restricts total loans and extensions
of credit by a bank to 20% of its unimpaired capital and surplus, which was $30.4 million at December 31, 2017.
First Federal, however, restricts its loans to one borrower to no more than $18.0 million unless specifically approved
by the BLC as an exception to policy. The following table provides a summary of our five largest relationships at
December 31, 2017.

terms. We also purchase whole and participation loans on a servicing retained or released basis. During the six
months ended December 31, 2017 and the years ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, our total originations were
$174.4 million, $221.9 million and $217.0 million, respectively.
During the six months ended December 31, 2017 and the years ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 we
purchased $43.9 million, $44.0 million and $59.2 million of loans, respectively. Loan pools purchased in the past
three years consisted primarily of loans exceeding conforming loan limits, or "jumbo loans," secured by single
family residential properties located in the states of Washington and California. We have also participated with other
lenders on commercial real estate loans located in Washington, whereby we receive a portion of a loan originated by
another lender who retains the servicing and customer relationship of the loan and may, depending on the terms of
the agreement, retain a portion of the interest as a servicing fee. Purchased loans, loan pools, and participations are
underwritten by our credit administration department and approved by the appropriate loan committee(s) prior to
purchase, according to our lending authority guidelines.

The North Olympic Peninsula region, which represents a substantial concentration of depositors and
borrowers, has experienced limited population growth, and the region's unemployment rate is higher than both the
state and national unemployment rates. As a result, we originate and purchase loans outside of these areas in the
counties surrounding the Puget Sound and elsewhere, and we may purchase loans with different credit and
underwriting criteria than those we originate organically
We sell residential first mortgage loans in the secondary market, and we currently service all loans sold.
The majority of residential mortgages we originate are fixed-rate, which we may sell to the secondary market to
manage our interest rate risk. During the six months ended December 31, 2017 and the years ended June 30, 2017
and June 30, 2016 we sold $17.4 million, $23.3 million and $7.8 million of residential mortgage loans, respectively.
Our secondary market relationship for residential loans is primarily with Freddie Mac, and we receive a servicing
fee on loans sold when the servicing is retained by us. Loans in general are sold on a non-recourse basis, whenever
possible, subject to a provision for repurchase upon breach of representation, warranty or covenant.
At December 31, 2017, we were servicing $186.1 million of loans for others. We earned mortgage
servicing income of $228,000, $464,000, and $502,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and years
ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively, and mortgage servicing rights for these loans had a fair value
at December 31, 2017, of $1.7 million. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in
Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of this Form 10-K.
During fiscal 2008, we sold loans with “life of the loan” recourse provisions to Freddie Mac, and beginning
in May 2013, Freddie Mac has required loans guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture to be sold
with "life of the loan" recourse provisions as well. These recourse provisions require us to repurchase the loan upon
default. The balance of loans serviced for others with life of the loan recourse provisions was $5.6 million at
December 31, 2017. There were no loans repurchased during the six months ended December 31, 2017, one loan
was repurchased during the year ended June 30, 2017 for $100,000, and two loans were repurchased during the year
ended June 30, 2016 for $151,000.
We may solicit one or more financial institutions to take a portion of a commercial real estate loan in order
to manage risk or generate income through gain on sale or servicing fees. The participation agreement outlines the
indirect relationship between the Bank and the participant with regard to borrower access, loan servicing, loan
documents, etc. The participant's transactional involvement is typically limited to only that provided by the Bank as
“agent” in the transaction, and the participation interest is sold without recourse. We maintain greater than 50
percent ownership interest in the loan and retain the servicing of loans we participate with others in order to
maintain our direct relationship with the borrower and better manage our credit risk. In 2016, we sold $1.5 million in
commercial real estate loan participations, and no commercial loan participations were sold during the six months
ended December 31, 2017.
Gains, losses and transfer fees on sales of one- to four-family and commercial real estate loans are
recognized at the time of the sale. Our net gain on sales of residential and commercial real estate loans was
$499,000, $757,000 and $234,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and years ended June 30, 2017 and
June 30, 2016, respectively.

Loan Origination and Other Fees. Loan origination fees paid by the borrower generally represent a
percentage of the principal amount of the loan. Accounting standards require that certain fees received, net of certain
origination costs, be deferred and amortized over the contractual life of the loan. Net deferred fees or costs
associated with loans that are prepaid or sold are recognized as income or expense at the time of prepayment. We
had $724,000, $904,000 and $1.2 million of net deferred loan fees at December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and
June 30, 2016, respectively. In addition, we receive fees for loan commitments, late payments and miscellaneous
services.
Asset Quality
Management of asset quality includes loan performance monitoring and reporting as well as utilization of both
internal and independent third party loan reviews. The primary objective of our loan review process is to measure
23
borrower performance and assess risk for the purpose of identifying loan weakness in order to minimize loan loss
exposure. From the time of origination through final repayment, all loans are assigned a risk rating based on pre-
determined criteria. The risk rating is monitored annually for most loans, and may change during the life of the loan as
appropriate.
Loan reviews vary by loan type and complexity of the loan. Some loans may warrant detailed individual review,
while other loans may have less risk based upon size, or be of a homogeneous nature, such as consumer loans and loans
secured by residential real estate. Homogeneous loans may be reviewed on the basis of risk indicators such as delinquency
or credit rating. In cases of significant concern, re-evaluation of the loan and associated risks are documented by
completing a loan risk assessment and action plan.
First lien residential mortgage loan payments have a 15-day grace period following the due date, after which time
we institute collection procedures. Attempts to contact the borrower continue until the 90th day, after which time if we
have not been able to reach a mutually satisfactory arrangement for curing the default, we will pursue all permissible
remedies according to the terms of the security instruments and applicable law. In the event of an unsecured loan, we will
either seek legal action against the borrower or refer the loan to an outside collection agency.

December 31, 2017.

We had no delinquent loans, other than nonperforming and impaired loans, at December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017,
and June 30, 2016.
Nonperforming Assets. Nonperforming assets include all nonperforming loans as well as real estate owned and
repossessed assets. Troubled debt restructurings ("TDR") include nonperforming and performing loans. Nonperforming
assets as a percent of total assets was 0.1% at December 31, 2017, compared to 0.2% and 0.3% at June 30, 2017 and
June 30, 2016, respectively. At each of the dates indicated in the table below, there were no loans delinquent more than 90
days that were accruing interest.

For the six months ended December 31, 2017 and years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, gross interest income
which would have been recorded had the nonaccruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms
amounted to $277,000, $261,000 and $306,000, respectively. The amount that was included in interest income on a cash
basis on nonaccruing loans was $12,000, $13,000 and $75,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and years
ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Other Loans of Concern. In addition to the nonperforming assets set forth in the table above, as of
December 31, 2017 there were 60 loans totaling $12.5 million that continue to accrue interest but for which management
has elevated concerns about the ability of these borrowers to comply with their loan repayment terms that may result in
disclosure of such loans as nonperforming in the future. These loans have been considered in management's determination
of our allowance for loan losses.
25
Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Property. Real estate we acquire as a result of collection efforts is
classified as real estate owned. These properties are recorded at the lower of its cost, which is the unpaid principal balance
of the related loan, or the fair market value of the property less selling costs. Other repossessed property, including
automobiles, are also recorded at the lower of cost or fair market value less selling costs. As of December 31, 2017, First
Federal had no properties in real estate owned and one auto in repossessed personal property owned with a book value of
$23,000. Real estate owned properties are listed with a real estate broker for sale, included in the multiple listing service,
and actively marketed.
Restructured Loans. According to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), we are required to
account for certain loan modifications or restructurings as a TDR. In general, the modification or restructuring of a debt is
considered a TDR if we, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grant a concession to
the borrower under more favorable terms and conditions than we would grant to an ordinary bank customer under the
normal course of business.
General loan restructures and modifications not considered as TDR loans may include lowering interest rates,
extending the maturity date, deferring or re-amortizing monthly payments or other concessions. These general loan
restructures and modifications are made on a case-by-case basis provided that such concessions are not below market
rates nor considered material and outside of the terms and conditions granted to other borrowers under normal course of
business standards.
Adversely classified loans which are subsequently modified and placed in nonaccrual status must remain in
nonaccrual status for a period of not less than six months with consecutive satisfactory payment performance and be
further supported by current financial information and analysis which demonstrates the borrowers have the financial
capacity to meet future debt service before being returned to accrual status.
As of December 31, 2017, we had 39 loans with an aggregate principal balance of $4.9 million that were
identified as TDR loans, of which $4.5 million were performing in accordance with their revised payment terms and on
accrual status. As of December 31, 2017, there were $393,000 of TDR loans on nonaccrual and whose accrual status
continues to be evaluated by management. Included in the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2017 was a reserve
of $182,000 related to TDR loans. Nonaccruing TDR loans are classified as substandard, and accruing TDR loans may be
classified at any level in our loan grading system depending upon verified repayment sources, collateral values and
repayment history.
Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide for the classification of lower quality loans and other assets as
substandard, doubtful or loss. An asset is considered substandard when material conditions are identified which raise
issues about the financial capacity, collateral or other conditions which may compromise the borrower’s ability to
satisfactorily perform under the terms of the loan. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct
possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all the
weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make
near term collection or liquidation highly questionable and improbable. Assets classified as loss are those considered
uncollectible or of no material value. Assets that do not currently expose us to sufficient risk to warrant classification as
substandard or doubtful but possess identified weaknesses are classified by us as either watch or special mention assets.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 310 and ASC 450, when we classify problem
assets as substandard, doubtful, and loss, we may review the borrower and collateral to establish a specific loan loss
allowance in an amount we deem prudent. Our credit administration department, management, and the Board of Directors
review the analysis and approve the specific loan loss allowance for these loans.
General reserve loan loss allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the
inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances on impaired loans, have not been
specifically allocated to particular problem assets. When an institution identifies a problem asset as an unavoidable and
imminent loss, it is required to partially or fully charge-off such assets in the period in which they are deemed
uncollectible. Our determination as to the classification of our assets and the amount of our valuation allowances is
subject to review by the DFI and the FDIC, who can order specific charge-offs or the establishment of additional loan loss
allowances.
We review, at least quarterly, the problem assets in our portfolio to determine whether any assets require
reclassification. On the basis of our review, as of December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, we had classified
loans of $6.7 million, $3.3 million, and $4.6 million, respectively. We had no other classified assets at these dates. In
addition, at December 31, 2017 we had $7.3 million of special mention loans. At December 31, 2017, classified assets
26
represented 3.8% of equity capital and 0.5% of assets. The increase in classified assets during the six months ended
December 31, 2017 was mainly attributable to a commercial real estate and business loan relationship for $2.7 million that
was downgraded to substandard.
Classified loans, consisting solely of substandard loans, were as follows at the dates indicated:

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses was $8.8 million, or 1.1% of total loans, at
December 31, 2017, compared to $8.5 million, or 1.2%, at June 30, 2017. Management recognizes that loan losses
may occur over the life of a loan and the allowance for loan losses must be maintained at a level necessary to absorb
specific losses on impaired loans and probable losses inherent in the total loan portfolio. Monthly, our chief credit
officer prepares a report of the allowance for loan losses and establishes the provision for credit losses based on the
risk composition of our loan portfolio, delinquency levels, loss experience, economic conditions, regulatory
examination results, seasoning of the loan portfolios, and other factors related to the collectability of the loan
portfolio. This allowance for loan losses report is reviewed monthly by management.
Quantitative analysis is necessary to calculate accounting estimates for loan loss reserves, and we also
recognize that qualitative factors such as economic, market, industry and political changes can adversely affect loan
quality. These qualitative factors are updated and approved by management on a quarterly basis. Each quarter, a
report on the allowance for loan losses, including the application and discussion of quantitative and qualitative
factors established during the quarter, is reviewed by the Board of Director's loan/asset quality committee and
presented for approval to the full Board. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is
charged against current period operating results, and decreased by the amount of actual loan charge-offs, net of
recoveries, and improvements in asset quality.
Our methodology for analyzing the allowance for loan losses consists of two components: general and
specific allowances. The formula for the general loan loss reserve allowance is determined by applying an estimated
quantified loss percentage, as well as qualitative factors, to various groups of loans. First Federal uses a three year
loss history including loss percentages based on various historical measures such as the amount and type of
classified loans, past due ratios, loss experience, and economic conditions, which could affect the collectability of
the respective loan types. Qualitative factors and adjustments to the loan loss reserve calculations are largely
subjective but also include objective variables such as unemployment rates, falling or rising real estate values, real
estate and retail sales, demographics and other known material economic indicators. A general allowance is then
established, based upon the analysis of the above conditions, to recognize the inherent risk associated with the entire
loan portfolio. A specific allowance is established when management believes the borrower’s financial and/or
collateral condition has materially deteriorated to a point of impairment and loss is highly probable for that specific
loan.
We define a loan as being impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable we will
be unable to collect amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Large groups of smaller balance
homogeneous loans, such as residential mortgage loans and consumer loans, are grouped together for impairment
analysis and reserve calculation. All other loans are evaluated for impairment on an individual basis. In the process
of identifying loans as impaired, management takes into consideration factors which include payment history,
collateral value, financial condition of the borrower, and the probability of collecting scheduled payments in the
future. Minor payment delays and insignificant payment shortfalls typically do not result in a loan being classified as
impaired. The significance of payment delays and shortfalls is considered by management on a case-by-case basis,
after taking into consideration the totality of circumstances surrounding the loans and borrowers, including payment
history and amounts of any payment shortfall, length and reason for delay, and likelihood of return to stable
performance. As of December 31, 2017, we had impaired loans of $6.1 million, compared to $7.4 million at June 30,
2017.
In determining specific reserves for those loans evaluated for impairment on an individual basis,
management utilizes the valuation shown in the most recent appraisal of the collateral and may make adjustments to
that valuation as additional information becomes available. Generally, appraisals or evaluations are updated
subsequent to the time of origination, whenever management identifies a loan as impaired or potentially being
impaired. Events which may trigger an updated appraisal or evaluation include, but are not limited to, borrower
delinquency, material technical defaults, annual review of borrower’s financial condition, property tax and/or
assessment delinquency, deferred maintenance or other information known or discovered by us.
Impaired collateral dependent loans require a current appraisal and analysis to determine the net value of
the collateral for loan loss reserve purposes. Our policy is to update these appraisals every 12 months as long as the
loan and collateral remains impaired, except for smaller balance, homogeneous loans, which are applied a reserve
according to their risk weighting and loan class. Certain types of collateral, depending on market conditions, may
require more frequent appraisals, updates or evaluations. When the results of the impairment analysis indicate a
potential loss, the loan is classified as substandard and is analyzed to determine if a specific reserve amount is to be
established or adjusted to reflect any further deterioration in the value of the collateral that may occur prior to
29
liquidation or reinstatement. The impairment analysis takes into consideration the primary, secondary, and tertiary
sources of repayment, whether impairment is likely to be temporary in nature or liquidation is anticipated.
Management believes that our allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2017 was adequate to absorb
the known and inherent risks of loss in the loan portfolio at that date. While management believes the estimates and
assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance
that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future
provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provision that may be required will
not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount
of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process,
which may result in the establishment of additional reserves based upon their judgment of information available to
them at the time of their examination.

Investment Activities
General. Under Washington law, savings banks are permitted to invest in various types of liquid assets,
including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies, certain certificates of deposit of insured
banks and savings institutions, banker’s acceptances, repurchase agreements, federal funds, commercial paper,
investment grade corporate debt, and obligations of states and their political subdivisions.
Our chief financial officer has the responsibility for the management of our investment portfolio. Various
factors are considered when making investment decisions, including the marketability, maturity and tax
consequences of the proposed investment. The maturity structure of investments will be affected by various market
conditions, including the current and anticipated slope of the yield curve, the level of interest rates, the trend of
deposit inflows, and the anticipated demand for funds from deposit withdrawals and loan originations and purchases.
The general objective of our investment portfolio is to provide liquidity, maintain earnings, and manage
risk, including credit, reinvestment, liquidity and interest rate risk.
Securities. Total investment securities increased $59.9 million, or 21.4%, to $340.4 million at
December 31, 2017, from $280.5 million at June 30, 2017. Management made a strategic decision during the six
months ended December 31, 2017 to leverage capital by purchasing investment securities using a combination of
cash received from the growth in customer deposits and additional borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Des Moines ("FHLB") in order to generate additional net interest income. At December 31, 2017, U.S. government
agency issued mortgage-backed securities ("MBS agency") still comprised the largest portion of our investment
portfolio at 53.0%, followed by U.S. Small Business Administration securities ("SBA") at 14.0%, municipal bonds
at 8.0%, corporate issued asset-backed securities ("ABS corporate") at 6.7%, U.S. government agency issued asset-
backed securities ("ABS agency") at 6.4%, corporate issued mortgage-backed securities ("MBS corporate") at 6.0%
and corporate issued debt securities ("Corporate Debt") at 5.8%. SBA corporate securities comprised the largest
change in the investment portfolio, increasing $33.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2017,
followed by an increase in corporate debt of $19.9 million, ABS agency of $14.1 million, and ABS corporate of
$13.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in municipal bonds of $8.9 million, MBS corporate of $5.8 million, and
U.S. Treasury and government agency issued bonds ("Agency Bonds") of $4.9 million. The increase in the balance
and change in the mix of the investment portfolio was part of our leverage strategy and repositioned the portfolio by
increasing adjustable rate securities with a shorter average time to reset. The estimated average time for rates to reset
on our investment portfolio was 3.5 years at December 31, 2017 as compared to 4.1 years at June 30, 2017. The
estimated average life of the total investment securities portfolio was 5.3 years at December 31, 2017 and 4.7 years
at June 30, 2017.
The issuers of MBS agency securities held in our portfolio, which include Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and
Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"), and certain issuers of agency bonds held in our
portfolio, which include the U.S. Treasury, FHLB, and Fannie Mae, as well as the U.S. Small Business
Administration, guarantee the timely principal and interest payments in the event of default. ABS agency bonds held
in our portfolio also include securities issued by Sallie Mae Student Loan Trust and CIT Education Loan Trust,
which are backed by student loans in a subordinate tranche, and Wachovia Student Loan Trust in a non-subordinated
tranche, where payment is not guaranteed by the issuer. The underlying student loans are reinsured by the U.S.
Department of Education, which mitigates a significant portion of their risk of loss. Municipal bonds consist of a
mix of taxable and non-taxable, revenue and general obligation bonds issued by various local and state government
entities that use their revenue-generating and taxing authority as a source of repayment of their debt. The state of the
issuers of our municipal bonds, in which we hold more than 10% of our municipal bond portfolio at December 31,
2017, included New York at 26.0%, Florida at 24.0%, Washington at 20.1%, and Texas at 17.9%. Our municipal
bonds are considered investment grade, and we monitor their credit quality on an ongoing basis.
ABS and MBS corporate securities have no guarantees in the event of default and therefore warrant
continued monitoring for credit quality. Our MBS corporate securities consist of fixed and variable rate mortgages
issued by various corporations, and our ABS corporate securities consist of a mix of variable rate collateralized loan
obligations in managed funds, which we believe have sufficient subordination to mitigate the risk of loss on these
investments, and certain debt securities issued by Citigroup and Goldman Sachs. Monitoring of these securities may
include, but is not limited to, reviewing credit quality standards such as delinquency, subordination, and credit
ratings. Our corporate securities are considered investment grade.

As a member of the FHLB, we had an average balance of $5.6 million in stock of the FHLB for the six
months ended December 31, 2017. We received $81,000, $126,000, and $104,000 in dividends from the FHLB
during the six months ended December 31, 2017 and the years ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively.

The Company may hold certain investment securities in an unrealized loss position that are not considered
other than temporarily impaired ("OTTI"). At December 31, 2017, there were 63 investment securities with $3.2
million of unrealized losses and a fair value of approximately $233.2 million. At June 30, 2017, there were 42
investment securities with $1.8 million of unrealized losses and a fair value of approximately $164.9 million. We
had no OTTI on investment securities at either December 31, 2017 or June 30, 2017.
Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds
General. Deposits, borrowings and loan repayments are the major sources of our funds for lending and
other investment purposes. Scheduled loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows
and outflows and loan prepayments are influenced significantly by general interest rates and market conditions.
Borrowings from the FHLB are used to supplement the availability of funds from other sources and also as a source
of term funds to assist in the management of interest rate risk.
Our deposit composition consists of certificates of deposit accounting for 27.0% of the total deposits at
December 31, 2017, and interest and noninterest-bearing checking, savings and money market accounts comprising
the remaining balance of total deposits. We rely on marketing activities, convenience, customer service and the
availability of a broad range of deposit products and services to attract and retain customer deposits. We did not have
any brokered deposits at December 31, 2017.
Deposits. Deposits are attracted from within our market area through the offering of a broad selection of
deposit instruments, including checking accounts, money market deposit accounts, savings accounts and certificates
of deposit with a variety of rates. Deposit account terms vary according to the minimum balance required, the time
periods the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate, among other factors. In determining the terms of our
deposit accounts, we consider the development of long-term profitable customer relationships, current market
interest rates, current maturity structure and deposit mix, our customer preferences, and the profitability of acquiring
customer deposits compared to alternative sources.
Deposit Activity. The following table sets forth our total deposit activities for the periods indicated.

The Federal Reserve requires First Federal to maintain reserves on transaction accounts or non-personal
time deposits. These reserves may be in the form of cash or noninterest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve
Bank of San Francisco. Negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts and other types of accounts that permit
payments or transfers to third parties fall within the definition of transaction accounts and are subject to the reserve
requirements, as are any non-personal time deposits at a savings bank. As of December 31, 2017, our deposit with
the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and vault cash exceeded our reserve requirements.

Borrowings. We use advances from the FHLB, including short-term overnight to less than one year
advances and longer term advances maturing in one year or more, to supplement our supply of lendable funds, to
meet short-term liquidity needs, and to mitigate interest rate risk.
As a member of the FHLB, we are required to own capital stock in the FHLB and are authorized to apply
for advances on the security of that stock and certain pledged assets including mortgage loans and investment
securities. Advances are made under various terms pursuant to several different credit programs, each with its own
interest rate and range of maturities. Depending on the program, limitations on the amount of advances are based on
the financial condition of the member institution and the adequacy of collateral pledged to secure the credit. We
maintain a committed credit facility with the FHLB and at December 31, 2017 had pledged loan and security
collateral to support a borrowing capacity of $236.0 million. At that date outstanding advances from the FHLB
totaled $144.1 million leaving a remaining borrowing capacity of $91.9 million.
The following tables set forth information regarding our borrowings at the end of and during the periods
indicated. The tables include both long- and short-term borrowings.

Subsidiary and Other Activities
First Federal has one active subsidiary, 202 Master Tenant, LLC, which was formed in August 2016 in
partnership with the Peninsula College Foundation in order to receive a historic tax credit. This entity meets the
criteria for reporting under the equity method of accounting. North Olympic Peninsula Services, Inc. was dissolved
during the fiscal year 2016. In June 2015, upon completion of our participation in the new markets tax credit
program for which these companies were formed in 2008, First Federal dissolved two limited liability companies
created in partnership with Craft3, Inc., a Washington nonprofit corporation.
Competition
We face competition in originating loans from other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions,
life insurance companies, and mortgage bankers. We offer competitive terms and conditions and also compete by
delivering high-quality, personal service to our customers.
Competition for deposits is primarily from other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions,
mutual funds, and other alternative investments, which may be offered locally or via the Internet. We compete for
these deposits by offering excellent service and a variety of deposit accounts at competitive rates. Based on the most
recent branch data provided by the FDIC, as of June 30, 2017, First Federal’s share of bank, savings bank and
savings and loan association deposits in Clallam and Jefferson counties was 36.8% and 22.1%, respectively.
Employees
At December 31, 2017, we had 204 full-time equivalent employees. Our employees are not represented by
any collective bargaining group. We consider our employee relations to be good.

HOW WE ARE REGULATED
First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal are subject to federal, state, and local laws which may change
from time to time. The descriptions of laws and regulations included herein do not purport to be complete and are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the actual laws and regulations. Any such legislation or regulatory changes
in the future by the FDIC, DFI, Federal Reserve and the CFPB could adversely affect our operations and financial
condition.
Enacted in July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank
Act”), imposed new restrictions and an expanded framework of regulatory oversight for financial institutions and
their holding companies. Many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to delayed effective dates and/or rule-
making by the federal banking agencies, and their impact on operations cannot yet fully be assessed. Implementation
of these additional aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act may increase the regulatory burden, compliance costs and interest
expense for First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal.
Regulation of First Federal
General. First Federal, as a state-chartered savings bank, is subject to applicable provisions of Washington
law and to regulations and examinations of the DFI. It also is subject to examination and regulation by the FDIC,
which insures the deposits of First Federal to the maximum permitted by law. During these state or federal
regulatory examinations, the examiners may, among other things, require First Federal to provide for higher general
or specific loan loss reserves, which can impact our capital and earnings. This regulation of First Federal is intended
for the protection of depositors and the deposit insurance fund ("DIF") of the FDIC and not for the purpose of
protecting shareholders of First Federal or First Northwest Bancorp. First Federal is required to maintain minimum
levels of regulatory capital and is subject to some limitations on the payment of dividends to First Northwest
Bancorp. See "– Capital Requirements" and "– Dividends."
Federal and State Enforcement Authority and Actions. As part of its supervisory authority over
Washington-chartered savings banks, the DFI may initiate enforcement proceedings to obtain a cease-and-desist
order against an institution believed to have engaged in unsafe and unsound practices or to have violated a law,
regulation, or other regulatory limit, including a written agreement. The FDIC also has the authority to initiate
enforcement actions against insured institutions for similar reasons and may terminate the deposit insurance if it
determines that an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or unsound condition.
Both these agencies may utilize less formal supervisory tools to address their concerns about the condition,
operations or compliance status of a savings bank.
Regulation by the Washington Department of Financial Institutions. State law and regulations govern
First Federal's ability to take deposits and pay interest, to make loans on or invest in residential and other real estate,
to make consumer loans, to invest in securities, to offer various banking services to its customers, and to establish
branch offices. As a state savings bank, First Federal must pay semi-annual assessments, examination costs and
certain other charges to the DFI.
Washington law generally provides the same powers for Washington savings banks as federally and other-
state chartered savings institutions and banks with branches in Washington, subject to the approval of the DFI.
Washington savings banks are permitted to charge the maximum interest rates on loans and other extensions of
credit to Washington residents which are allowable for a national bank in another state if higher than Washington
limits. In addition, the DFI may approve applications by Washington savings banks to engage in an otherwise
44
unauthorized activity if the DFI determines that the activity is closely related to banking and First Federal is
otherwise qualified under the statute. This additional authority, however, is subject to review and approval by the
FDIC if the activity is not permissible for national banks.
Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC. The deposit insurance fund of the FDIC insures
deposit accounts in First Federal up to $250,000 per separately insured depositor. As insurer, the FDIC imposes
deposit insurance premiums and is authorized to conduct examinations of, and to require reporting by, FDIC-insured
institutions. Our deposit insurance premiums for the six months ended December 31, 2017, were $144,000.
The FDIC calculates assessments for small institutions (those with less than $10 billion in assets) based on
an institution’s weighted average CAMELS component ratings and certain financial ratios. Currently, assessment
rates range from 3 to 16 basis points for institutions with CAMELS composite ratings of 1 or 2, 6 to 30 basis points
for those with a CAMELS composite score of 3, and 16 to 30 basis points for those with CAMELS Composite
scores of 4 or 5, subject to certain adjustments. Assessment rates are scheduled to decrease in the future as the
reserve ratio increases. The reserve ratio is the ratio of the net worth of the deposit insurance fund to aggregate
insured deposits.
As required by the Dodd Frank Act, the FDIC has adopted a rule to offset the effect of the increase in the
minimum reserve ratio of the DIF on small institutions by imposing a surcharge on institutions with assets of $10
billion or more commencing on July 1, 2016 and ending when the reserve ratio reaches 1.35%. This surcharge
period is expected to end by December 31, 2018. Small institutions will receive credits for the portions of their
regular assessments that contributed to growth in the reserve ratio between 1.15% and 1.35%. The credits will apply
to reduce regular assessments for quarters when the reserve ratio is at least 1.38.
FDIC-insured institutions are required to pay an additional quarterly assessment called the FICO
assessment in order to fund the interest on bonds issued to resolve thrift failures in the 1980s. This assessment rate
is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the assessment base, which is average assets less tangible equity, and is the
same base as used for the deposit insurance assessment. These assessments are expected to continue until the bonds
mature in the years 2017 through 2019.
The FDIC has authority to increase insurance assessments, and any significant increases would have an
adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of First Federal. Management cannot predict what
assessment rates will be in the future.
Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that an institution has engaged in
unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any
applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC. We do not currently know of any practice,
condition, or violation that may lead to termination of our deposit insurance.
Prompt Corrective Action. Federal statutes establish a supervisory framework based on five capital
categories: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically
undercapitalized. An institution’s category depends upon where its capital levels are in relation to relevant capital
measures, which include risk-based capital measures, Tier 1 and common equity Tier 1 capital measures, a leverage
ratio capital measure and certain other factors. The federal banking agencies have adopted regulations that
implement this statutory framework. Under these regulations, an institution is treated as well capitalized if it has a
ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 10.0% or more (the total risk-based capital ratio); a ratio of common
equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets (the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio) of 8.0% or more; a ratio of Tier 1
common equity capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.5% or more (the common equity Tier 1 capital ratio); a ratio of
Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets (the leverage ratio) of 5.0% or more; and the institution is not subject to
a federal order, agreement or directive to meet a specific capital level. An institution is considered adequately
capitalized if it is not well capitalized but it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or more; a Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio of 6.0% or more; a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% or more; and a leverage ratio of 4.0% or
more and a leverage ratio of not less than 4%. An institution that is not well capitalized is subject to certain
restrictions on brokered deposits, including restrictions on the rates it can offer on its deposits generally. Any
institution which is neither well capitalized nor adequately capitalized is considered undercapitalized.
Undercapitalized institutions are subject to certain prompt corrective action requirements, regulatory
controls and restrictions which become more extensive as an institution becomes more severely undercapitalized.
Failure by First Federal to comply with applicable capital requirements would, if not remedied, result in restrictions
on its activities and lead to enforcement actions, including, but not limited to, the issuance of a capital directive to
45
ensure the maintenance of required capital levels and, ultimately, the appointment of the FDIC as receiver or
conservator. Banking regulators will take prompt corrective action with respect to depository institutions that do not
meet minimum capital requirements. Additionally, approval of any regulatory application filed for their review may
be dependent on compliance with capital requirements. At December 31, 2017, First Federal was categorized as
“well capitalized” under the regulatory capital requirements described below. For additional information, see Note
11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data," of this Form 10-K.
Capital Requirements. The minimum capital level requirements applicable to First Northwest Bancorp
and First Federal are: (i) a common equity Tier 1 ("CET1") capital ratio of 4.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6%;
(iii) a total capital ratio of 8%; and (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%.
In addition to the minimum risk-based capital ratios, the capital regulations require a capital conservation
buffer consisting of additional CET1 capital of more than 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above the required minimum
risk-based ratios in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying
discretionary bonuses. The phase-in of the capital conservation buffer requirement began on January 1, 2016, when
a buffer greater than 0.625% of risk-weighted assets was required, and increases each year until the buffer
requirement is fully implemented on January 1, 2019.
To be considered "well capitalized," First Northwest Bancorp must have, on a consolidated basis, a total
risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater and must not be
subject to an individual order, directive or agreement under which the Federal Reserve requires it to maintain a
specific capital level. In addition, the Company is subject to the same minimum capital and capital conservation
requirements as First Federal.
As of December 31, 2017, First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal each met the requirements to be "well
capitalized" and met the fully phased-in capital conservation buffer requirement. Management monitors the capital
levels of First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal to provide for current and future business opportunities and to
meet regulatory guidelines for “well capitalized” institutions. For additional information regarding First Northwest
Bancorp’s and First Federal’s required and actual capital levels at December 31, 2017, see Note 11 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of this
Form 10-K.
The Federal Reserve and the FDIC have authority to establish individual minimum capital requirements in
appropriate cases upon a determination that an institution’s capital level is or may become inadequate in light of
particular risks or circumstances. Management believes that, under the current regulations, First Northwest Bancorp
and First Federal will continue to meet their minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future.
Standards for Safety and Soundness. The federal banking regulatory agencies have prescribed, by
regulation, guidelines for all insured depository institutions relating to internal controls, information systems and
internal audit systems; loan documentation; credit underwriting; interest rate risk exposure; asset growth; asset
quality; earnings; and compensation, fees and benefits. The guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards
that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before
capital becomes impaired. Each insured depository institution must implement a comprehensive written information
security program that includes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the institution’s size
and complexity and the nature and scope of its activities. The information security program must be designed to
ensure the security and confidentiality of customer information, protect against any unanticipated threats or hazards
to the security or integrity of such information, protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that
could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer, and ensure the proper disposal of customer and
consumer information. Each insured depository institution must also develop and implement a risk-based response
program to address incidents of unauthorized access to customer information in customer information systems. If the
FDIC determines that an institution fails to meet any of these guidelines, it may require an institution to submit to
the FDIC an acceptable plan to achieve compliance.
Federal Home Loan Bank System. First Federal is a member of the FHLB of Des Moines. As a member,
First Federal is required to purchase and maintain stock in the FHLB. At December 31, 2017, First Federal held $7.0
million in FHLB stock, which was in compliance with this requirement. Each FHLB serves as a reserve or central
bank for its members within its assigned region, and it is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of
consolidated obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. Each FHLB makes loans or advances to members
in accordance with policies and procedures, established by its Board of Directors, subject to the oversight of the
46
Federal Housing Finance Agency. All advances from the FHLB are required to be fully secured by sufficient
collateral as determined by the FHLB, and all long-term advances are required to provide funds for residential home
financing. At December 31, 2017, First Federal had $144.1 million of outstanding advances from the FHLB of Des
Moines. See Item 1, "Business – Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds – Borrowings."
The FHLBs continue to contribute to low- and moderately-priced housing programs through direct loans or
interest subsidies on advances targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income housing projects.
These contributions have affected adversely the level of FHLB dividends paid and could continue to do so in the
future. These contributions could also have an adverse effect on the value of FHLB stock in the future. A reduction
in value of First Federal's FHLB of Des Moines stock may result in a corresponding reduction in its capital.
Activities and Investments of Insured State-Chartered Financial Institutions. Federal law generally
limits the activities and equity investments of FDIC insured, state-chartered banks to those that are permissible for
national banks. An insured state bank is not prohibited from, among other things, (1) acquiring or retaining a
majority interest in a subsidiary, (2) investing as a limited partner in a partnership, the sole purpose of which is
direct or indirect investment in the acquisition, rehabilitation or new construction of a qualified housing project,
provided that such limited partnership investments may not exceed 2% of the bank’s total assets, (3) acquiring up to
10% of the voting stock of a company that solely provides or reinsures directors’ and officers’ liability insurance
coverage or bankers’ blanket bond group insurance coverage for insured depository institutions, and (4) acquiring or
retaining the voting shares of a depository institution if certain requirements are met.
Dividends. Dividends from First Federal constitute a major source of funds for dividends in future periods
that may be paid by First Northwest Bancorp to shareholders. The amount of dividends payable by First Federal to
First Northwest Bancorp depends upon First Federal’s earnings and capital position; is limited by federal and state
laws, regulations and policies; and is subject to prior regulatory approval. According to Washington law, First
Federal may not declare or pay a cash dividend on its capital stock if it would cause its net worth to be reduced
below (1) the amount required for liquidation accounts or (2) the net worth requirements, if any, imposed by the
Director of the DFI. Dividends on First Federal’s capital stock may not be paid in an aggregate amount greater than
the aggregate retained earnings of First Federal without the approval of the Director of the DFI.
The amount of dividends actually paid during any one period will be affected by First Federal’s capital
policy. Federal law further provides that no insured depository institution may pay a cash dividend if it would cause
the institution to be “undercapitalized” as defined in the prompt corrective action regulations and the ability to pay
dividends can be limited by the capital conservation buffer requirement. Moreover, the federal bank regulatory
agencies also have the general authority to limit the dividends paid by insured banks if such payments are deemed to
constitute an unsafe and unsound practice.
Affiliate Transactions. Federal laws strictly limit the ability of banks to engage in certain transactions with
their affiliates, including their bank holding companies. Transactions deemed to be a “covered transaction” under
Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act and between a subsidiary bank and its parent company or the nonbank
subsidiaries of the bank holding company are limited to 10% of the bank subsidiary’s capital and surplus and, with
respect to the parent company and all such nonbank subsidiaries, to an aggregate of 20% of the bank subsidiary’s
capital and surplus. Further, covered transactions that are loans and extensions of credit generally are required to be
secured by eligible collateral in specified amounts. Federal law also requires that covered transactions and certain
other transactions listed in Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act between a bank and its affiliates be on terms as
favorable to the bank as transactions with non-affiliates.
Community Reinvestment Act. First Federal is subject to the provisions of the Community Reinvestment
Act of 1977 (CRA), which requires the appropriate federal bank regulatory agency to assess a bank’s performance
under the CRA in meeting the credit needs of the community serviced by the bank, including low-and moderate
income neighborhoods. The regulatory agency’s assessment of a bank’s record is made available to the public.
Further, a bank’s CRA performance rating must be considered in connection with a bank’s application, among other
things, to establish a new branch office that will accept deposits; to relocate an existing office; or to merge or
consolidate with, or acquire the assets or assume the liabilities of, a federally regulated financial institution. First
Federal received a “satisfactory” rating during its most recent CRA examination.
Privacy Standards. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (GLBA)
modernized the financial services industry by establishing a comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among
commercial banks, insurance companies, securities firms and other financial service providers. First Federal is
subject to FDIC regulations implementing the privacy protection provisions of the GLBA. These regulations require
47
First Federal to disclose its privacy policy, including informing consumers of its information sharing practices and
informing consumers of its rights to opt out of certain practices.
Environmental Issues Associated with Real Estate Lending. The Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA") is a federal statute that generally imposes strict liability on
all prior and present "owners and operators" of sites containing hazardous waste. However, the term "owner and
operator" excludes a person whose ownership is limited to protecting its security interest in the site. Since the
enactment of the CERCLA, this "secured creditor exemption" has been the subject of judicial interpretations which
have left open the possibility that lenders could be liable for cleanup costs on contaminated property that they hold
as collateral for a loan. To the extent that legal uncertainty exists in this area, all creditors, including First Federal,
that have made loans secured by properties with potential hazardous waste contamination (such as petroleum
contamination) could be subject to liability for cleanup costs, which costs often substantially exceed the value of the
collateral property.
Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve Board requires that all depository institutions maintain
reserves on transaction accounts or non-personal time deposits. These reserves may be in the form of cash or
noninterest-bearing deposits with the regional Federal Reserve Bank. Negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW)
accounts and other types of accounts that permit payments or transfers to third parties fall within the definition of
transaction accounts and are subject to the reserve requirements, as are any non-personal time deposits at a savings
bank. As of December 31, 2017, First Federal's deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank and vault cash exceeded its
reserve requirements.
Other Consumer Protection Laws and Regulations. The Dodd-Frank Act, among other things,
established the CFPB as an independent bureau of the Federal Reserve Board. The CFPB assumed responsibility for
the implementation of the federal financial consumer protection and fair lending laws and regulations and has
authority to impose new requirements. First Federal is subject to consumer protection regulations issued by the
CFPB, but as a smaller financial institution, it is generally subject to supervision and enforcement by the FDIC and
the DFI with respect to our compliance with consumer financial protection laws and CFPB regulations.
First Federal is subject to a broad array of federal and state consumer protection laws and regulations that
govern almost every aspect of its business relationships with consumers. While the list set forth below is not
exhaustive, some of these laws and regulations include the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the
Electronic Fund Transfer Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair
Housing Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Fair Credit
Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Right to Financial Privacy Act, the Home Ownership and
Equity Protection Act, the Consumer Leasing Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act, the Homeowners Protection Act, the
Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, laws governing flood insurance, laws governing consumer protections in
connection with the sale of insurance, federal and state laws prohibiting unfair and deceptive business practices, and
various regulations that implement some or all of the foregoing. These laws and regulations mandate certain
disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which financial institutions must deal with customers when
taking deposits, making loans, collecting loans, and providing other services. Failure to comply with these laws and
regulations can subject First Federal to various penalties including, but not limited to, enforcement actions,
injunctions, fines, civil liability, criminal penalties, punitive damages, and the loss of certain contractual rights.
Regulation and Supervision of First Northwest Bancorp
General. First Northwest Bancorp is a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve and the
sole shareholder of First Federal. Bank holding companies are subject to comprehensive regulation by the Federal
Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (“BHCA”), and the regulations promulgated
thereunder. This regulation and oversight is generally intended to ensure that First Northwest Bancorp limits its
activities to those allowed by law and that it operates in a safe and sound manner without endangering the financial
health of First Federal.
As a bank holding company, First Northwest Bancorp is required to file quarterly and annual reports with
the Federal Reserve and any additional information required by the Federal Reserve and is subject to regular
examinations by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve also has extensive enforcement authority over bank
holding companies, including the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist or removal orders
and to require that a holding company divest subsidiaries (including its bank subsidiaries). In general, enforcement
actions may be initiated for violations of law and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices.
48
The Bank Holding Company Act. Under the BHCA, First Northwest Bancorp is supervised by the
Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has a policy that a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of
financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and may not conduct its operations in an unsafe or unsound
manner. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act and earlier Federal Reserve policy provide that bank holding companies
should serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks by being prepared to use available resources to provide
adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity, and should maintain the
financial flexibility and capital raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks. A
bank holding company's failure to meet its obligation to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks will
generally be considered by the Federal Reserve to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice or a violation of the
Federal Reserve's regulations, or both.
Under the BHCA, the Federal Reserve may approve the ownership of shares by a bank holding company in
any company the activities of which the Federal Reserve has determined to be so closely related to the business of
banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. These activities generally include,
among others, operating a savings institution, mortgage company, finance company, credit card company or
factoring company; performing certain data processing operations; providing certain investment and financial
advice; underwriting and acting as an insurance agent for certain types of credit-related insurance; leasing property
on a full-payout, non-operating basis; selling money orders, travelers' checks and U.S. Savings Bonds; real estate
and personal property appraising; providing tax planning and preparation services; and, subject to certain
limitations, providing securities brokerage services for customers.
Acquisitions. The BHCA prohibits a bank holding company, with certain exceptions, from acquiring
ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank or bank holding
company and from engaging in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks, or providing
services for its subsidiaries. A bank holding company that meets certain supervisory and financial standards and
elects to be designed as a financial holding company may also engage in certain securities, insurance and merchant
banking activities and other activities determined to be financial in nature or incidental to financial activities.
Regulatory Capital Requirements. The Federal Reserve has adopted capital rules pursuant to which it
assesses the adequacy of capital in examining and supervising a bank holding company and in analyzing
applications under the BHCA. These rules apply on a consolidated basis to bank holding companies with $1.0
billion or more in assets, or with fewer assets but certain risky activities, and on a bank-only basis to other
companies. The bank holding company capital adequacy and conservation buffer rules are the same as those
imposed on First Federal by the FDIC. For additional information, see the section above entitled “- Regulation of
First Federal - Capital Regulation” and Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item
8., "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of this Form 10-K.
Interstate Banking. The Federal Reserve may approve an application of a bank holding company to
acquire control of, or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, a bank located in a state other than the holding
company's home state, without regard to whether the transaction is prohibited by the laws of any state. The Federal
Reserve may not approve the acquisition of a bank that has not been in existence for the minimum time period of
five years, or longer if specified by the law of the host state. In addition, the Federal Reserve generally may not
approve an application for an interstate merger transaction if the applicant controls or would control more than 10%
of the insured deposits in the United States or 30% or more of the deposits in the target bank's home state or in any
state in which the target bank maintains a branch. Federal law does not affect the authority of states to limit the
percentage of total insured deposits in the state that may be held or controlled by a bank holding company to the
extent such limitation does not discriminate against out-of-state banks or bank holding companies. Individual states
may also waive the 30% state-wide concentration limit contained in the federal law. Banks may establish de novo
branches in any state, subject to regulatory approval.
The federal banking agencies are authorized to approve interstate merger transactions without regard to
whether the transaction is prohibited by the law of any state, unless the home state of one of the banks adopted a law
prior to June 1, 1997, which applies equally to all out-of-state banks and expressly prohibits merger transactions
involving out-of-state banks. Interstate acquisitions of branches are permitted only if the law of the state in which
the branch is located permits such acquisitions. Interstate mergers and branch acquisitions are also subject to the
nationwide and statewide insured deposit concentration amounts described above.
Restrictions on Dividends. First Northwest Bancorp's ability to declare and pay dividends is subject to the
Federal Reserve limits and Washington law, and it may depend on its ability to receive dividends from First Federal.
49
A policy of the Federal Reserve limits the payment of a cash dividend by a bank holding company if the
holding company's net income for the past year is not sufficient to cover both the cash dividend and a rate of
earnings retention that is consistent with capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. A bank holding
company that does not meet any applicable capital standard would not be able to pay any cash dividends under this
policy. A bank holding company not subject to consolidated capital requirements is expected not to pay dividends
unless its debt-to-equity ratio is less than 1:1, and it meets certain additional criteria. The Federal Reserve also has
indicated that it would be inappropriate for a company experiencing serious financial problems to borrow funds to
pay dividends. The capital conservation buffer requirements may limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends.
Except for a company that meets the well-capitalized standard for bank holding companies, is well
managed, and is not subject to any unresolved supervisory issues, a bank holding company is required to give the
Federal Reserve prior written notice of any purchase or redemption of its outstanding equity securities if the gross
consideration for the purchase or redemption, when combined with the net consideration paid for all such purchases
or redemptions during the preceding 12 months, is equal to 10.0% or more of the company's consolidated net worth.
The Federal Reserve may disapprove such a purchase or redemption if it determines that the proposal would
constitute an unsafe or unsound practice or would violate any law, regulation or regulatory order, condition, or
written agreement. A bank holding company is considered well-capitalized if on a consolidated basis it has a total
risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0% and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or more, and is not subject to
an agreement, order, or directive to maintain a specific level for any capital measure.
Any material deviations from, or changes to, the business plan provided as part of the conversion and
related stock offering are subject to the prior written approval of the FDIC. Under Washington corporate law, First
Northwest Bancorp generally may not pay dividends if after that payment it would not be able to pay its liabilities as
they become due in the usual course of business, or its total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities.
Stock Repurchases. Any repurchases of our common stock during the three year period following the
conversion is subject to the prior approval of the DFI and other bank regulatory agencies, as applicable, and the
requirements of the Federal Reserve described above.
The Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank Act imposes restrictions and an expanded framework of regulatory
oversight for financial institutions, including depository institutions, and required new capital regulations that are
discussed above under “- Regulation of First Federal - Capital Regulations.” In addition, among other changes, the
Dodd-Frank Act requires public companies, like First Northwest Bancorp, to (i) provide their shareholders with a
non-binding vote (a) at least once every three years on the compensation paid to executive officers and (b) at least
once every six years on whether they should have a “say on pay” vote every one, two or three years; (ii) have a
separate, non-binding shareholder vote regarding golden parachutes for named executive officers when a
shareholder vote takes place on mergers, acquisitions, dispositions or other transactions that would trigger the
parachute payments; (iii) provide disclosure in annual proxy materials concerning the relationship between the
executive compensation paid and the financial performance of the issuer; and (iv) amend Item 402 of Regulation S-
K to require companies to disclose the ratio of the Chief Executive Officer's annual total compensation to the
median annual total compensation of all other employees. For certain of these changes, the implementing regulations
have not been promulgated, so the full impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on public companies cannot be determined at
this time.
Federal Securities Law. The stock of First Northwest Bancorp is registered with the SEC under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a result, First Northwest Bancorp is subject to the information,
proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
First Northwest Bancorp stock held by persons who are affiliates of First Northwest Bancorp may not be
resold without registration unless sold in accordance with certain resale restrictions. Affiliates are generally
considered to be officers, directors and principal shareholders. If First Northwest Bancorp meets specified current
public information requirements, each affiliate of First Northwest Bancorp will be able to sell in the public market,
without registration, a limited number of shares in any three-month period.
The SEC has adopted regulations and policies under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that apply to First
Northwest Bancorp as a registered company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The stated goals of these
Sarbanes-Oxley requirements are to increase corporate responsibility, provide for enhanced penalties for accounting
and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and
reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. The SEC and Sarbanes-Oxley-related regulations
and policies include very specific additional disclosure requirements and new corporate governance rules. The
50
Sarbanes-Oxley Act represents significant federal involvement in matters traditionally left to state regulatory
systems, such as the regulation of the accounting profession, and to state corporate law, such as the relationship
between a board of directors and management and between a board of directors and its committees.
Federal Taxation
TAXATION
General. First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal are subject to federal income taxation in the same
general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. The following discussion of federal
taxation is intended only to summarize certain pertinent federal income tax matters and is not a comprehensive
description of the tax rules applicable to First Northwest Bancorp or First Federal. First Federal is no longer subject
to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ended before June 30, 2014. See Note 9 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of
this Form 10-K.
First Northwest Bancorp will file a consolidated federal income tax return with First Federal. Accordingly,
any cash distributions made by First Northwest Bancorp to its shareholders would be considered to be taxable
dividends and not as a non taxable return of capital to shareholders for federal and state tax purposes.
Method of Accounting. For federal income tax purposes, First Federal currently reports its income and
expenses on the accrual method of accounting and used a fiscal year ending on June 30 for filing its federal income
tax return through June 30, 2017. Beginning with the six months ended December 31, 2017, federal income tax
returns will be filed using a December 31 year end.
Minimum Tax. The Internal Revenue Code imposes an alternative minimum tax at a rate of 20% on a base
of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences, called alternative minimum taxable income. The alternative
minimum tax is payable to the extent such alternative minimum taxable income is in excess of an exemption
amount. Net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income. Certain
payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. First
Federal has been subject to the alternative minimum tax, and at December 31, 2017 has no credits for carryover.
Corporate Dividends Received Deduction. First Northwest Bancorp may eliminate from its income
dividends received from First Federal as a wholly owned subsidiary of First Northwest Bancorp if it elects to file a
consolidated return with First Federal. The corporate dividends-received deduction is 100%, or 80%, in the case of
dividends received from corporations with which a corporate recipient does not file a consolidated tax return,
depending on the level of stock ownership of the payor of the dividend. Corporations which own less than 20% of
the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend may deduct 70% of dividends received or accrued on their behalf.
Charitable Contribution Carryovers. The Company may carryforward charitable contributions to the
succeeding five taxable years. The utilization of the charitable contribution carryforward may not exceed 10% of
taxable income as defined by the federal taxation laws. At December 31, 2017, the Company had a charitable
contribution carryforward for federal income tax purposes of $7.8 million. This carryforward was generated from
the Company’s creation of the First Federal Community Foundation to which it contributed 933,360 shares of its
common stock and $400,000 in cash in connection with the mutual to stock conversion. Management does not fully
expect to utilize the benefit over the five year carryforward period and has recorded a reserve on the portion of the
related deferred tax asset estimated to expire unused.
Washington Taxation
First Federal is subject to a business and occupation tax imposed under Washington law at the rate of 1.5%
of gross receipts. Interest received on loans secured by mortgages or deeds of trust on residential properties and
certain investment securities are exempt from this tax.
51
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our increased emphasis on commercial real estate lending subjects us to various risks that could adversely
impact our results of operations and financial condition.
We have increased the amount of our commercial real estate and multi-family loans to $276.7 million, or
35.2% of our total loan portfolio, at December 31, 2017, from $121.0 million, or 26.4%, of our total loan portfolio at
June 30, 2013. We intend to continue to increase, subject to market demand, our origination and purchase of
commercial real estate loans.
Our increased focus on this type of lending has increased our risk profile. Commercial real estate loans are
intended to enhance the average yield of our earning assets; however, they do involve a different level of risk of
delinquency or collection than one- to four-family loans. The repayment of commercial real estate loans typically is
dependent on the successful operation and income stream of the borrowers’ business, or the ability to lease the
property at sufficient rates, and the value of the real estate securing the loan as collateral, which can be significantly
affected by economic conditions. These loans also involve larger balances to a single borrower or groups of related
borrowers. Some of our commercial borrowers have more than one loan outstanding with us. Consequently, an
adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose us to a significantly greater risk
of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to a single one- to four-family residential mortgage loan.
Since commercial real estate loans generally have large balances, deterioration in the quality of commercial loans
may result in the need to significantly increase our provision for loan losses and charge-offs will likely be larger on a
per loan basis compared to consumer loans. As a result, deterioration of this portfolio could materially adversely
affect our future earnings. Collateral evaluation and financial statement analysis in these types of loans also requires
a more detailed analysis at the time of loan underwriting and on an ongoing basis. Finally, if we foreclose on a
commercial real estate loan, our holding period for the collateral is typically longer than for a one- to four-family
residence because the market for most types of commercial real estate is not readily liquid, which results in less
opportunity to mitigate credit risk by selling part or all of our interest in these assets. At December 31, 2017, we had
$378,000 of nonperforming commercial real estate loans and no nonperforming multi-family loans in our portfolio.
As an institution’s concentration in commercial real estate lending increases, it becomes subject to more
scrutiny by the FDIC under its policies applicable to management of its portfolio of commercial loans, considering
the risk management, Board of Directors and management oversight, portfolio management, management
information systems, credit underwriting standards, portfolio stress testing and sensitivity analysis, and credit risk
review function applied to the commercial loan portfolio, as well as the institution’s capital adequacy.
The significant growth in our loan portfolio, and our rapid expansion into new markets may increase our
credit risk.
Since the completion of our initial public offering in January 2015, we have grown substantially in terms of
total assets, total loans, total deposits, employees, and locations, expanding our business activities throughout the
Puget Sound region. We have significantly increased the amount of loans located outside of the counties where we
have branch locations from $144.5 million, or 29.3% of our total loan portfolio, at June 30, 2014, to $373.5 million,
or 47.5% of our total loan portfolio, at December 31, 2017, which includes $42.4 million of purchased one- to four-
family loans secured by properties located primarily in California and Ohio. In addition, our commercial loan
portfolio, which includes loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate as well as business assets, has
increased to $293.0 million, or 37.3% of total loans, at December 31, 2017, from $190.7 million, or 37.8% of total
loans, at June 30, 2014. Included in our commercial loan portfolio at December 31, 2017, were $12.3 million of
additional loans purchased and loan participations. Rapidly growing loan portfolios are, by their nature, less
seasoned, meaning they were originated recently. Combined with the geographic expansion of our lending area, our
experience with these loans may not provide us with a significant payment history pattern making estimating loan
loss allowances more difficult, and more susceptible to changes in estimates, and to losses exceeding estimates, than
our more seasoned portfolio of loans in our traditional lending area. Further, First Federal has not experienced a
downturn in economic conditions with these loans. As a result, it is difficult to predict the future performance of
these parts of our loan portfolio. These loans may develop delinquency or charge-off levels above our historical
experience, which could adversely affect our future performance.
We plan to continue both strategic and opportunistic growth, which can present substantial demands on
management personnel, line employees, and other aspects of our operations, especially if our growth occurs rapidly.
We may face difficulties in managing that growth effectively, which could damage our reputation, limit our growth,
52
and negatively affect our operating results. Also see “Our branching strategy will cause our expenses to increase and
may negatively affect our earnings.”
We have a concentration of large loans outstanding to a limited number of borrowers that increases our risk
of loss.
First Federal has extended significant amounts of credit to a limited number of borrowers, largely in
connection with high-end residential real estate and commercial and multi-family real estate loans. At December 31,
2017, the aggregate amount of loans, including unused commitments, to First Federal's five largest borrowers
(including related entities) amounted to approximately $62.3 million. Outstanding loan balances for the largest 20
borrowing relationships at December 31, 2017 totaled $142.0 million, or 18.1% of total loans. At such date, none of
the loans to First Federal's 20 largest borrowers were nonperforming loans.
Concentration of credit to a limited number of borrowers increases the risk in First Federal's loan portfolio.
In the event that one or more of these borrowers is not able to service the contractual repayment, the potential loss to
First Federal is more likely to have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Our construction and land loans are based upon estimates of costs and the value of the completed project.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, our construction and land loans decreased $485,000, or 0.7%,
to $71.1 million, or 9.0%, of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2017 and consisted of properties secured by
one- to four-family residential of $9.6 million, multi-family of $22.3 million, commercial real estate of $22.7
million, and land of $16.6 million. Land loans include raw land and land acquisition and development loans.
Construction and land development lending generally involves additional risks when compared with
permanent residential lending because funds are advanced upon estimates of costs in relation to values associated
with the completed project that will produce a future value at completion. Because of the uncertainties inherent in
estimating construction costs, the market value of the completed project, the effects of governmental regulation on
real property, and changes in demand, it is relatively difficult to evaluate accurately the total funds required to
complete a project and the completed project loan-to-value ratio, which may cause actual results to vary
significantly from those estimated. For these reasons, this type of lending also typically involves higher loan
principal amounts and is often concentrated with a small number of builders. A downturn in housing, or the real
estate market, could increase loan delinquencies, defaults and foreclosures, and significantly impair the value of our
collateral and our ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure. Some of our builders have more than one loan
outstanding with us, and an adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose us to
a significantly greater risk of loss.
In addition, during the term of most of our construction loans, no payment from the borrower is required
since the accumulated interest is added to the principal of the loan through an interest reserve. As a result, these
loans often involve the disbursement of funds with repayment substantially dependent on the successful outcome of
the project and the ability of the borrower to sell or lease the property or obtain permanent take-out financing, rather
than the ability of the borrower or guarantor to repay principal and interest. If our appraisal of the value of a
completed project proves to be overstated, we may have inadequate security for the repayment of the loan upon
completion of construction of the project and may incur a loss. Because construction loans require active monitoring
of the building process, including cost comparisons and on-site inspections, these loans are more difficult and costly
to monitor. Increases in market rates of interest may have a more pronounced effect on construction loans by rapidly
increasing the end-purchasers' borrowing costs, thereby reducing the overall demand for the project. Properties
under construction are often difficult to sell and typically must be completed in order to be successfully sold which
also complicates the process of working out problem construction loans. This may require us to advance additional
funds and/or contract with another builder to complete construction and assume the market risk of selling the project
at a future market price, which may or may not enable us to fully recover unpaid loan funds and associated
construction and liquidation costs. Furthermore, in the case of speculative construction loans, there is the added risk
associated with identifying an end-purchaser for the finished project. At December 31, 2017, $6.4 million of our
construction and land loans were for speculative construction.
53
We occasionally purchase loans in bulk or “pools.” We may experience lower yields or losses on loan “pools”
because the assumptions we use when purchasing loans in bulk may not prove correct.
In order to achieve our loan growth objectives and/or improve earnings, we may purchase loans, either
individually, through participations, or in bulk. When we determine the purchase price we are willing to pay to
purchase loans in bulk, management makes certain assumptions about, among other things, how fast borrowers will
prepay their loans, the real estate market, our ability to collect loans successfully and, if necessary, our ability to
dispose of any real estate that may be acquired through foreclosure. When we purchase loans in bulk, we perform
certain due diligence procedures and typically require customary limited indemnities. To the extent that our
underlying assumptions prove to be inaccurate or the basis for those assumptions change, the purchase price paid for
“pools” of loans may prove to have been excessive, resulting in a lower yield or a loss of some or all of the loan
principal. Our success in growing through purchases of loan “pools” depends on our ability to price loan “pools”
properly and on the general economic conditions within the geographic areas where the underlying properties of our
loans are located.
For loans purchased outside of the state of Washington where management may not have substantial prior
experience, the Bank typically relies on the seller or its assignee to service these loans. We may be exposed to
greater risk of loss due to the inability of the Bank to directly negotiate with a delinquent borrower to recover
principal and interest due in the event of default.
Adverse economic conditions in the market areas we serve could adversely impact our earnings and could
increase the credit risk associated with our loan portfolio.
Substantially all of our loans are to businesses and individuals in the state of Washington. An economic
decline could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and
prospects. Weakness in the global economy has adversely affected many businesses operating in our markets that are
dependent upon international trade and it is not known how the recent withdrawal by the United States from the
Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement may also affect these businesses.
While real estate values and unemployment rates have recently improved, deterioration in economic
conditions in the market areas we serve, in particular the North Olympic Peninsula and Puget Sound area of
Washington State, could result in the following consequences, any of which could have a materially adverse impact
on our business, financial condition and results of operations:
•
•
•
•
•
loan delinquencies, problem assets and foreclosures may increase;
demand for our products and services may decline, possibly resulting in a decrease in our total loans or
assets;
collateral for loans made may decline further in value, exposing us to increased risk of loss on existing
loans and reducing customers’ borrowing power;
the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to
us; and
the amount of our deposits may decrease and the composition of our deposits may be adversely affected.
A decline in local economic conditions may have a greater effect on our earnings and capital than on the
earnings and capital of larger financial institutions whose real estate loan portfolios are geographically diverse. If we
are required to liquidate a significant amount of collateral during a period of reduced real estate values, our financial
condition and profitability could be adversely affected. Adverse changes in the regional and general economy could
reduce our growth rate, impair our ability to collect loans, and generally have a negative effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.
Our branching strategy will cause our expenses to increase and may negatively affect our earnings.
Over the past four years, we have opened three new full-service branches in Silverdale and Bellingham,
Washington, an HLC in Seattle, Washington, and opened another full-service branch on Bainbridge Island,
Washington on January 8, 2018. We may continue to open or purchase new branches and HLCs, and the success of
our expansion strategy into new markets is contingent upon numerous factors, such as our ability to select suitable
locations, assess each market's competitive environment, secure managerial resources, hire and retain qualified
personnel and implement effective marketing strategies. The opening of new offices may not increase the volume of
our loans and deposits as quickly or to the degree that we hope, and opening new offices will increase our operating
54
expenses. On average, de novo branches do not become profitable until three to four years after opening. We
currently expect to lease rather than own additional de novo branches and HLCs, and projected time lines and
estimated dollar amounts involved in opening new offices could differ significantly from actual results. In addition,
we may not successfully manage the costs and implementation risks associated with our branching strategy.
Accordingly, any new branch or HLC may negatively impact our earnings for some period of time until the office
reaches certain economies of scale, and there is a risk that our new offices will not be successful even after they have
been established.
Our business may be adversely affected by credit risk associated with residential property.
At December 31, 2017, $393.9 million, or 50.1% of our total loan portfolio, consisted of one- to four-
family mortgage loans and home equity loans secured by residential properties, including $35.4 million or 4.6% of
our total loan portfolio secured by residential properties located in California and Ohio. Lending on residential
property is generally sensitive to regional and local economic conditions that significantly impact the ability of
borrowers to meet their loan payment obligations, making loss levels difficult to predict. Declines in residential real
estate values securing these types of loans may increase the level of borrower defaults and losses above the recent
charge-off experience on these loans. Jumbo one- to four-family residential loans which do not conform to
secondary market mortgage requirements for our market areas would not be immediately saleable to Freddie Mac
and may expose us to increased risk because of their larger balances. Further, a significant amount of our home
equity lines of credit consist of second mortgage loans. For those home equity lines secured by a second mortgage, it
is unlikely that we will be successful in recovering all or a portion of our loan balances in the event of default unless
we are prepared to repay the first mortgage loan and such repayment and the costs associated with a foreclosure are
justified by the value of the property. For these reasons we may experience higher rates of delinquencies, default and
losses on loans secured by junior liens
Our non-owner-occupied residential real estate loans may expose us to increased credit risk.
At December 31, 2017, $24.9 million, or 3.2% of our total loan portfolio, was secured by non-owner-
occupied residential properties consisting of one- to four-family and home equity loans. Loans secured by non-
owner-occupied properties generally expose a lender to greater risk of nonpayment and loss than loans secured by
owner-occupied properties because repayment of such loans depends primarily on the tenant’s continuing ability to
pay rent to the property owner, who is our borrower, or, if the property owner is unable to find a tenant, the property
owner’s ability to repay the loan without the benefit of a rental income stream. In addition, the physical condition of
non-owner-occupied properties is often below that of owner-occupied properties due to lax property maintenance
standards, which has a negative impact on the value of the collateral properties. Furthermore, some of our non-
owner-occupied residential loan borrowers have more than one loan outstanding with us, which may expose us to a
greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to an owner-occupied residential mortgage
loan.
Repayment of our commercial business loans is often dependent on the cash flows of the borrower, which may
be unpredictable, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value.
At December 31, 2017, we had $16.3 million, or 2.1% of total loans, in commercial business loans.
Commercial business lending involves risks that are different from those associated with residential and commercial
real estate lending. Real estate lending is generally considered to be collateral based lending with loan amounts
based on predetermined loan to collateral values, with liquidation of the underlying real estate collateral being
viewed as the primary source of repayment in the event of borrower default. Our commercial business loans are
primarily made based on the cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the
borrower. The borrowers' cash flow may be unpredictable, and collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value.
Although commercial business loans are often collateralized by equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, or other
business assets, the liquidation of collateral in the event of default is often an insufficient source of repayment
because accounts receivable may be uncollectible and inventories may be obsolete or of limited use, among other
things.
A portion of our loan portfolio is serviced by third parties, which may limit our ability to foreclose on such
loans.
At December 31, 2017, $76.0 million of our one- to four-family and $13.2 million of our commercial real estate loan
portfolios were serviced by third parties. When a loan goes into default, it is the responsibility of the third-party
servicer to enforce the borrower’s obligation to repay the outstanding indebtedness. We are reliant on the servicer to
55
bring the loan current, enter into a satisfactory loan modification or foreclose on the property on behalf of First
Federal. We must comply with any loan modification entered into by the servicer even if we would not otherwise
agree to the modified terms, which may result in a reduction in our interest income due to the loan modification.
Delays in foreclosing on property, whether caused by restrictions under state or federal law or the failure of a third-
party servicer to timely pursue foreclosure action, can increase our potential loss on such property, due to factors
such as lack of maintenance, unpaid property taxes and adverse changes in market conditions. These delays may
adversely affect our ability to limit our credit losses.
Our lending limit may restrict our growth.
Washington law provides that Washington chartered savings banks, such as First Federal, are subject to the
same loans to one borrower restrictions as Washington chartered commercial banks, which generally restrict total
loans and extensions of credit by a bank to 20% of its unimpaired capital and surplus. As a result, under Washington
law, First Federal would be limited to loans to one borrower of $30.4 million at December 31, 2017. Under its
current policy, First Federal has elected to restrict its loans to one borrower to no more than 20% of its unimpaired
capital plus surplus or $18.0 million, whichever is less, unless specifically approved by the Board of Directors'
Loan/Asset Quality Committee as an exception to policy. At December 31, 2017, 20% of First Federal's unimpaired
capital was $24.6 million, and under this policy, our loans to one borrower limit would have been $18.0 million.
This amount is significantly less than that of many of our competitors and may discourage potential commercial
borrowers who have credit needs in excess of our loans to one borrower lending limit from doing business with us.
Our loans to one borrower restriction also impacts the efficiency of our commercial lending operation because it
lowers our average loan size, which means we have to generate a higher number of transactions to achieve the same
portfolio volume. We can accommodate larger loans by selling participations in those loans to other financial
partners, but this strategy is not the most efficient or always available. We may not be able to attract or maintain
clients seeking larger loans or may not be able to sell participations in these loans on terms we consider favorable.
Our allowance for loan losses may prove to be insufficient to absorb losses in our loan portfolio.
We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of our loan portfolio, including the
creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the
repayment of many of our loans. In determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses, we review our loans
and our loss and delinquency experience, and we evaluate economic conditions. If our assumptions are incorrect, our
allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover probable incurred losses in our loan portfolio, resulting in
additions to our allowance for loan losses through the provision for losses on loans which is charged against income.
Additionally, pursuant to our growth strategy, management recognizes that significant new loan growth,
new loan products, and the refinancing of existing loans, resulting in portfolios comprised of unseasoned loans that
may not perform in a historical or projected manner, may increase the risk that our allowance may be insufficient to
absorb losses without significant additional provisions. Material additions to our allowance could materially
decrease our net income. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for loan losses and
may require an increase in the provision for possible loan losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based
on judgments different than those of management. In addition, if charge-offs in future periods exceed the allowance
for loan losses we will need additional provisions to replenish the allowance for loan losses. Any additional
provisions will result in a decrease in net income and possibly capital, and may have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has adopted new accounting standard update
(“ASU”) 2016-13 that will be effective for our first fiscal year after December 15, 2019. This standard, referred to as
Current Expected Credit Loss, or CECL, will require financial institutions to determine periodic estimates of
lifetime expected credit losses on loans, and recognize the expected credit losses as allowances for credit losses.
This will change the current method of providing allowances for credit losses that are probable, which may require
us to increase our allowance for loan losses, and may greatly increase the types of data we would need to collect and
review to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses. For more on this ASU, see Note 1 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements contained in Item 8 of
this report.
56
If our nonperforming assets increase, our earnings will be adversely affected.
At December 31, 2017, our nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccruing loans, real estate owned
and repossessed assets were $1.6 million, or 0.1% of total assets. Our nonperforming assets adversely affect our net
income in various ways:
• we record interest income on a cash basis only for nonaccrual loans and any nonperforming investment
securities and we do not record interest income for real estate owned;
• we must provide for probable loan losses through a current period charge to the provision for loan losses;
•
noninterest expense increases when we write down the value of properties in our real estate owned
portfolio to reflect changing market values or recognize other-than-temporary impairment on
nonperforming investment securities;
there are legal fees associated with the resolution of problem assets, as well as carrying costs, such as taxes,
insurance, and maintenance fees related to our real estate owned; and
the resolution of nonperforming assets requires the active involvement of management, which can distract
them from more profitable activity.
•
•
If additional borrowers become delinquent and do not pay their loans and we are unable to successfully
manage our nonperforming assets, our losses and troubled assets could increase significantly, which could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our securities portfolio may be negatively impacted by fluctuations in market value and interest rates.
Factors beyond our control can significantly influence the fair value of securities in our portfolio and can
cause potential adverse changes to the fair value of these securities. These factors include, but are not limited to,
ratings agency actions, defaults or other adverse events affecting the issuer or the underlying collateral, if any, of the
security, changes in market interest rates, and continued instability in the capital markets. These factors, among
others, could cause OTTI, realized and/or unrealized losses in future periods, and declines in other comprehensive
income, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Determining
OTTI requires complex, subjective judgments about the future financial performance and liquidity of the security's
issuer and underlying collateral, if any, to assess the probability of receiving all contractual principal and interest
payments due, and these estimates may differ significantly from actual future performance of the security.
If our real estate owned is not properly valued or declines further in value, our earnings could be reduced.
We obtain updated valuations in the form of appraisals and tax assessed values when a loan has been
foreclosed and the property taken in as real estate owned and at certain other times during the asset’s holding period.
Our net book value of the loan at the time of foreclosure and thereafter is compared to the updated market value of
the foreclosed property less estimated selling costs (fair value). A charge-off is recorded for any excess in the asset’s
net book value over its fair value. If our valuation process is incorrect, or if property values decline, the fair value of
our real estate owned may not be sufficient to recover our carrying value in such assets, resulting in the need for
additional charge-offs. In addition, bank regulators periodically review our real estate owned and may require us to
recognize further charge-offs. Significant charge-offs to our real estate owned could have a material adverse effect
on our financial condition and results of operations.
Conditions in the financial markets may limit our access to additional funding to meet our liquidity needs
which could adversely affect our earnings and capital levels.
Liquidity is essential to our business. We rely on a number of different sources in order to meet our
potential liquidity demands. We require sufficient liquidity to meet customer loan requests, customer deposit
maturities and withdrawals, payments on our debt obligations as they come due and other cash commitments under
both normal operating conditions and other unpredictable circumstances, including events causing industry or
general financial market stress. A tightening of the credit markets and the inability to obtain adequate funding may
negatively affect our liquidity, asset growth and, consequently, our earnings capability and capital levels. In addition
to any deposit growth, and the sale of loans or investment securities, maturity of investment securities and loan
payments, we rely from time to time on advances from the FHLB, and certain other wholesale funding sources to
meet liquidity demands. Our liquidity position could be significantly constrained if we were unable to access funds
from the FHLB or other wholesale funding sources. Factors that could detrimentally impact our access to liquidity
sources include a decrease in the level of our business activity as a result of a downturn in the markets in which our
loans are concentrated, negative operating results, or adverse regulatory action against us. Our ability to borrow
57
could also be impaired by factors that are not specific to us, such as a disruption in the financial markets or negative
views and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry or deterioration in credit markets. Any
decline in available funding could adversely impact our ability to originate loans, invest in securities, meet our
expenses, or fulfill obligations such as repaying our borrowings or meeting deposit withdrawal demands, any of
which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Additionally, collateralized public funds are bank deposits of state and local municipalities. These deposits
are required to be secured by certain investment grade securities to ensure repayment, which on the one hand tends
to reduce our contingent liquidity risk by making these funds somewhat less credit sensitive, but on the other hand
reduces standby liquidity by restricting the potential liquidity of the pledged collateral. Although these funds
historically have been a relatively stable source of funds for us, availability depends on the individual municipality's
fiscal policies and cash flow needs.
We are subject to interest rate risk.
Our earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon our net interest income. Interest rates are highly
sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control, including general economic conditions and policies of various
governmental and regulatory agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve. In an attempt to help the overall economy,
the Federal Reserve Board has kept interest rates low through its targeted Fed Funds rate. Beginning in December
2016, the Federal Reserve Board has increased the Fed Funds rate by 100 basis points and indicated a likelihood for
further increases during 2018 subject to economic conditions. As the Federal Reserve Board increases the Fed Funds
rate, overall interest rates will likely rise, which may negatively impact housing markets by reducing refinancing
activity and new home purchases and the U.S. economic recovery. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in
interest rates, could influence not only the interest we receive on loans and investments and the amount of interest
we pay on deposits and borrowings, but these changes could also affect (i) our ability to originate and/or sell loans
(ii) the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities, which could negatively impact shareholders' equity, and our
ability to realize gains from sales of such assets; (iii) our ability to obtain and retain deposits in competition with
other available investment alternatives; (iv) the ability of our borrowers to repay adjustable or variable rate loans;
and (v) the average duration of our mortgage-backed securities portfolio and other interest-earning assets. If the
interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings increase at a faster rate than the interest rates received on loans
and other investments, our net interest income, and therefore earnings, could be adversely affected. Earnings could
also be adversely affected if the interest rates received on loans and other investments fall more quickly than the
interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings.
Changes in interest rates could also have a negative impact on our results of operations by reducing the
ability of borrowers to repay their current loan obligations or by reducing our margins and profitability. Our net
interest margin is the difference between the yield we earn on our assets and the interest rate we pay for deposits and
our other sources of funding. Changes in interest rates-up or down-could adversely affect our net interest margin
and, as a result, our net interest income. Although the yield we earn on our assets and our funding costs tend to move
in the same direction in response to changes in interest rates, one can rise or fall faster than the other, causing our net
interest margin to expand or contract. Our liabilities tend to be shorter in duration than our assets, so they may adjust
faster in response to changes in interest rates. As a result, when interest rates rise, our funding costs may rise faster
than the yield we earn on our assets, causing our net interest margin to contract until the yields on interest-earning
assets catch up. Changes in the slope of the “yield curve”, or the spread between short-term and long-term interest
rates-could also reduce our net interest margin. Normally, the yield curve is upward sloping, meaning short-term
rates are lower than long-term rates. Because our liabilities tend to be shorter in duration than our assets, when the
yield curve flattens or even inverts, we could experience pressure on our net interest margin as our cost of funds
increases relative to the yield we can earn on our assets. Also, interest rate decreases can lead to increased
prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities as borrowers refinance their loans to reduce borrowing costs.
Under these circumstances, we are subject to reinvestment risk as we may have to redeploy such repayment
proceeds into lower yielding investments, which would likely hurt our income.
A sustained increase in market interest rates could adversely affect our earnings. As a result of the
exceptionally low interest rate environment, an increasing percentage of our deposits have been comprised of
deposits bearing no or a relatively low rate of interest and having a shorter duration than our assets. We would incur
a higher cost of funds to retain these deposits in a rising interest rate environment. If the interest rates paid on
deposits and other borrowings increase at a faster rate than the interest rates received on loans and other investments,
our net interest income, and therefore earnings, could be adversely affected
58
Changes in interest rates also affect the value of our interest-earning assets, including our securities
portfolio. Generally, the fair value of fixed-rate securities fluctuates inversely with changes in interest rates.
Unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale are reported as a separate component of equity, net of tax.
Decreases in the fair value of securities available for sale resulting from increases in interest rates could have an
adverse effect on shareholders’ equity.
Although management believes it has implemented effective asset and liability management strategies to
reduce the potential effects of changes in interest rates on our results of operations, any substantial, unexpected or
prolonged change in market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results
of operations. Also, our interest rate risk modeling techniques and assumptions likely may not fully predict or
capture the impact of actual interest rate changes on our balance sheet. See Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk,” of
this Form 10-K.
Changes in the method of determining the LIBOR or other reference rates may adversely impact the value of
loans receivable and other financial instruments we hold that are linked to LIBOR or other reference rates in
ways that are difficult to predict and could adversely impact our financial condition or results of operations.
In recent years, concerns have been raised about the accuracy of the calculation of LIBOR. Aspects of the
method for determining how LIBOR is formulated and its use in the market have changed and may continue to
change. Recent changes to LIBOR administration have included the introduction of statutory regulation of LIBOR
by U.K. regulatory authorities; reducing the currencies for which LIBOR is calculated to five; reducing the tenors
for which LIBOR is calculated to seven; delaying the publication of individual banks’ LIBOR submissions for three
months from submission; requiring banks to provide LIBOR submissions based on an effective methodology on the
basis of relevant criteria and information, including observable market transactions where possible; and during July
2017, the Financial Conduct Authority, the financial regulatory body in the United Kingdom which oversees the
LIBOR benchmark rate, announced that LIBOR will be replaced at the end of 2021 and that they will work towards
developing an alternative benchmark. Each such change and any future changes could impact the availability and
volatility of LIBOR. Similar changes have occurred or may occur with respect to other reference rates. It is not
currently possible to determine whether, or to what extent, any such changes would impact the value of any loans,
and other financial obligations or extensions of credit we hold or that are due to us, that are linked to LIBOR or
other reference rates, or whether, or to what extent, such changes would impact our financial condition or results of
operations.
Decreased volumes and lower gains on sales of loans could adversely impact our noninterest income.
We originate and sell one- to four-family mortgage loans. Our mortgage banking income is a significant
portion of our noninterest income. We generate gains on the sale of one- to four-family mortgage loans pursuant to
programs currently offered by Freddie Mac and other secondary market purchasers. Any future changes in their
purchase programs, our eligibility to participate in such programs, the criteria for loans to be accepted or laws that
significantly affect the activity of such entities could, in turn, materially adversely affect our results of operations.
Further, in a rising or higher interest rate environment, our originations of mortgage loans may decrease,
resulting in fewer loans that are available to be sold to investors. This would result in a decrease in mortgage
banking revenues and a corresponding decrease in noninterest income. In addition, our results of operations are
affected by the amount of noninterest expense associated with mortgage banking activities, such as salaries and
employee benefits, occupancy, equipment and data processing expense and other operating costs. During periods of
reduced loan demand, our results of operations may be adversely affected to the extent that we are unable to reduce
expenses commensurate with the decline in loan originations. In addition, although we sell loans into the secondary
market without recourse, we are required to give customary representations and warranties about the loans to the
buyers. If we breach those representations and warranties, the buyers may require us to repurchase the loans and we
may incur a loss on the repurchase.
We are dependent on key personnel and the loss of one or more of those key persons may materially and
adversely affect our prospects.
We rely heavily on the efforts and abilities of our executive officers, and certain other key management
personnel, which make up our management team. The loss of the services of any of our current management team
could have a material adverse impact on our operations because we would most likely have to search outside of First
Federal for qualified replacements. The ability to attract, retain and season replacements to our management team
59
presents risks to executing our business plan. The search for new management may be prolonged as our current
market area is considered remote. This characteristic may make it more difficult for us to find qualified replacements
willing to relocate to a smaller community like ours. Changes in our current management team and their
responsibilities may be disruptive to our business and operations and could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, and results of operations. While we believe that our relationship with our management
team is good, we cannot guarantee that all members of our management team will remain with our organization.
If we are unable to effectively integrate new personnel hired to carry out our business plan our business may
be adversely affected.
We have recently hired a number of experienced bankers, and we expect to hire additional personnel in
order to successfully implement our business plan. The difficulties in hiring and training new personnel include
integrating personnel with different business backgrounds and combining different corporate cultures, while
retaining other key employees. The process of integrating personnel could cause an interruption of, or loss of
momentum in, our operations and the loss of customers and key personnel. In addition, we may not realize expected
revenue increases and other projected benefits from the increased emphasis in these areas. Any delays or difficulties
encountered in connection with integrating and growing this portion of our operations could have an adverse effect
on our business and results of operations or otherwise adversely affect our ability to achieve anticipated results.
Our consideration of whole bank or branch acquisitions may expose us to financial, execution and
operational risks that could adversely affect us.
We may evaluate supplementing organic growth by acquiring other financial institutions or their businesses
that we believe will help us fulfill our strategic objectives and enhance our earnings. There are risks associated with
this strategy, however, including the following:
• We may be exposed to potential asset quality issues or unknown or contingent liabilities of the financial
institutions, businesses, assets and liabilities we acquire. If these issues or liabilities exceed our estimates,
our results of operations and financial condition may be materially negatively affected;
• Our growth initiatives may require us to recruit experienced personnel to assist in such initiatives, which
will increase our compensation costs. The failure to identify, hire and retain such personnel would place
significant limitations on our ability to execute our growth strategy;
• Our strategic efforts may divert resources or management’s attention from ongoing business operations and
may subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny;
• The acquisition of other entities generally requires integration of systems, procedures and personnel of the
acquired entity into our company to make the transaction economically successful. This integration process
is complicated and time consuming and can also be disruptive to the customers of the acquired business. If
the integration process is not conducted successfully and with minimal effect on the acquired business and
its customers, we may not realize the anticipated economic benefits of particular acquisitions within the
expected time frame, and we may lose customers or employees of the acquired business. We may also
experience greater than anticipated customer losses even if the integration process is successful;
• To finance a future acquisition, we may borrow funds, thereby increasing our leverage and diminishing our
liquidity, or raise additional capital, which could dilute the interests of our existing shareholders; and
• We expect our income will increase following our acquisitions; however, we also expect our general and
administrative expenses to increase.
We may be adversely affected by changes in U.S. tax laws and regulations.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Act”) was signed into law in December 2017 reforming the U.S.
tax code. The legislation includes lowering the 35% corporate income tax rate to 21%, modifying the U.S. taxation
of income earned outside the U.S. and limiting or eliminating various deductions, tax credits and/or other tax
preferences. While we expect to benefit on a prospective net income basis from the decrease in corporate tax rates,
the legislation has resulted in a $1.8 million decrease in the value of our deferred tax asset and a $725,000 decrease
to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which resulted in a material reduction to net income of $1.1 million
during the six months ended December 31, 2017. In addition, the legislation could negatively impact our customers
because it lowers the existing caps on mortgage interest deductions and limits the state and local tax deductions.
These changes could make it more difficult for borrowers to make their loan payments could also negatively impact
the housing market, which could adversely affect our business and loan growth.
60
We operate in a highly competitive industry.
We face substantial competition in all areas of our operations from a variety of different competitors, many
of which are larger and may have more financial resources. These competitors primarily include national, regional
and Internet banks within the various markets in which we operate. We also face competition from many other types
of financial institutions, including savings and loans, credit unions, mortgage banking finance companies, brokerage
firms, insurance companies and other financial intermediaries. The financial services industry could become even
more competitive as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and continued consolidation. Also,
technology has lowered barriers to entry and made it possible for nonbanks to offer products and services
traditionally provided by banks, such as automatic transfer and automatic payment systems. Competitors in these
nonbank sectors may have fewer regulatory constraints and may have lower cost structures. Additionally, due to
their size, many competitors may be able to achieve economies of scale and, as a result, may offer a broader range of
products and services as well as better pricing for those products and services than we can.
Failure to perform in any of these areas could significantly weaken our competitive position, which could
adversely affect our growth and profitability and result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations.
We participate in a multiple employer defined benefit pension plan for the benefit of our employees. If we
were to withdraw from this plan, or if the plan sponsor requires us to make additional contributions, we could
incur a substantial expense which would negatively impact our earnings.
We participate in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions, a multiple employer pension
plan for the benefit of our employees. Effective February 1, 2006, we did not allow additional employees to
participate in this plan. On January 31, 2010, we froze the future accrual of benefits under this plan with respect to
participating employees. Pentegra, as sponsor of the plan, may request that we make additional contributions to the
plan in excess of the contributions that we are regularly required to make, or obtain a letter of credit in favor of the
plan, if our financial condition declines to the point that it triggers certain criteria contained in the plan. If we fail to
make the contribution or obtain the requested letter of credit, then we may be forced to withdraw from the plan and
establish a separate, single employer defined benefit plan at a substantial expense to us and that we anticipate would
be underfunded to a similar extent as under the multiple employer plan.
Non-compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act, Bank Secrecy Act, or other laws and regulations could result in
fines or sanctions and limit our ability to get regulatory approval of acquisitions and new branches.
The USA PATRIOT and Bank Secrecy Acts require financial institutions to develop programs to prevent
financial institutions from being used for money laundering and terrorist activities. If such activities are detected,
financial institutions are obligated to file suspicious activity reports with the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Financial
Crimes Enforcement Network. These rules require financial institutions to establish procedures for identifying and
verifying the identity of customers seeking to open new financial accounts. Failure to comply with these regulations
could result in fines or sanctions and limit our ability to get regulatory approval of acquisitions and new branch
locations. Several banking institutions have received large fines for non-compliance with these laws and regulations.
While we have developed policies and procedures designed to assist in compliance with these laws and regulations,
no assurance can be given that these policies and procedures will be effective in preventing violations of these laws
and regulations. If our policies and procedures are deemed deficient, we would be subject to liability, including fines
and regulatory actions, which may include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends and the denial of regulatory
approvals to proceed with certain aspects of our business plan.
Failure to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing
could also have serious reputational consequences for us. Any of these results could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
We operate in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in laws and
regulations.
We are subject to extensive examination, supervision and comprehensive regulation by the FDIC as insurer
of our deposits, and by the DFI. As a bank holding company, First Northwest Bancorp is subject to examination and
supervision by the Federal Reserve. Such regulation and supervision governs the activities in which we may engage,
primarily for the protection of depositors and the Deposit Insurance Fund. These regulatory authorities have
extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the ability to impose
61
restrictions on an institution’s operations, require additional capital, reclassify assets, determine the adequacy of an
institution’s allowance for loan losses and determine the level of deposit insurance premiums assessed. Any future
changes to the laws, rules and regulations applicable to us could make compliance more difficult and expensive, or
otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition or prospects.
We are also subject to tax, accounting, securities, insurance, monetary laws and regulations, rules,
standards, policies, and interpretations that control the methods by which financial institutions conduct business.
These may change significantly over time, which could materially impact our business and have a significant
adverse effect on our cost of regulatory compliance and results of operations. Further, changes in accounting
standards and their interpretation may materially impact how we report, potentially retroactively, our financial
condition and results of operations.
The Dodd-Frank Act requires various federal agencies to adopt and implement a broad range of new rules
and regulations for which they are given significant discretion in drafting and implementation. Consequently, many
of the details and impact of the Dodd-Frank Act are not known, and it is difficult at this time to predict when or how
these new standards will ultimately be applied to us or, specifically, what impact the Dodd-Frank Act will have on
community banks in general. The current administration has indicated that it would like to see changes made to
certain financial reform regulations, including the Dodd-Frank Act, which has resulted in increased regulatory
uncertainty, and we are assessing the potential impact on financial and economic markets and on our business.
Changes in federal policy and at regulatory agencies are expected to occur over time through policy and personnel
changes, which could lead to changes involving the level of oversight and focus on the financial services industry.
The nature, timing, and economic and political effects of potential changes to the current legal and regulatory
framework affecting financial institutions remain highly uncertain. If changes to the Dodd-Frank Act or the rules and
regulations implementing the Act are made, such changes could offset the otherwise anticipated increase in
operating and compliance costs (included in noninterest expense); however, no assurance can be given as to whether
such changes will occur or what may result from such changes.
The CFPB, which was created under the Dodd-Frank Act, has issued, and continues to issue, rules related
to consumer protection, including The Truth in Lending Act and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act
Integrated Disclosure (TRID), which combines certain disclosures that consumers receive in connection with
applying for and closing a mortgage loan. These CFPB rules, most of which thus far have pertained to mortgage
originations, including rules generally prohibiting creditors from extending mortgage loans without regard for the
consumer's ability to repay, may adversely affect the volume of mortgage loans that we underwrite and subject us to
increased potential liabilities related to such residential loan origination activities. The CFPB has adopted a number
of additional requirements and issued additional guidance, including with respect to indirect auto lending, appraisals,
escrow accounts and servicing, each of which may entail increased compliance costs.
Our operations rely on numerous external vendors.
We rely on numerous external vendors to provide us with products and services necessary to maintain our
day-to-day operations. Accordingly, our operations are exposed to risk that these vendors will not perform in
accordance with the contracted arrangements under service level agreements. The failure of an external vendor to
perform in accordance with the contracted arrangements under service level agreements because of changes in the
vendor's organizational structure, financial condition, support for existing products and services or strategic focus or
for any other reason, could be disruptive to our operations, which in turn could have a material negative impact on
our financial condition and results of operations. We also could be adversely affected to the extent such an
agreement is not renewed by the third party vendor or is renewed on terms less favorable to us.
We are subject to certain risks in connection with our use of technology.
Our security measures may not be sufficient to mitigate the risk of a cyber-attack. Communications and
information systems are essential to the conduct of our business, as we use such systems to manage our customer
relationships, our general ledger and virtually all other aspects of our business. Our operations rely on the secure
processing, storage, and transmission of confidential and other information in our computer systems and networks.
Although we take protective measures and endeavor to modify them as circumstances warrant, the security of our
computer systems, software, and networks may be vulnerable to breaches, unauthorized access, misuse, computer
viruses, or other malicious code and cyber-attacks that could have a security impact. If one or more of these events
occur, this could jeopardize our or our customers’ confidential and other information processed and stored in, and
transmitted through, our computer systems and networks, or otherwise cause interruptions or malfunctions in our
operations or the operations of our customers or counterparties. We may be required to expend significant additional
62
resources to modify our protective measures or to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures, and
we may be subject to litigation and financial losses that are either not insured against or not fully covered through
any insurance maintained by us. We could also suffer significant reputational damage.
We support the ability of our customers to transact business through multiple automated methods. As such,
we may be susceptible to fraud performed through these technologies.
Security breaches in our Internet banking activities could further expose us to possible liability and damage
our reputation. Any compromise of our security also could deter customers from using our internet banking services
that involve the transmission of confidential information. We rely on standard internet security systems to provide
the security and authentication necessary to effect secure transmission of data. These precautions may not protect
our systems from compromises or breaches of our security measures, and could result in significant legal liability
and significant damage to our reputation and our business.
Our security measures may not protect us from systems failures or interruptions. While we have established
policies and procedures to prevent or limit the impact of systems failures and interruptions, there can be no
assurance that such events will not occur or that they will be adequately addressed if they do. In addition, we
outsource certain aspects of our data processing and other operational functions to certain third-party providers. If
our third-party providers encounter difficulties, or if we have difficulty in communicating with them, our ability to
adequately process and account for transactions could be affected, and our business operations could be adversely
impacted. Threats to information security also exist in the processing of customer information through various other
vendors and their personnel.
The occurrence of any failures or interruptions may require us to identify alternative sources of such
services, and we cannot assure that we could negotiate terms that are as favorable to us, or could obtain services
with similar functionality as found in our existing systems without the need to expend substantial resources, if at all.
Further, the occurrence of any systems failure or interruption could damage our reputation and result in a loss of
customers and business, could subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny, or could expose us to legal liability. Any
of these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
If our enterprise risk management framework is not effective at mitigating risk and loss to us, we could suffer
unexpected losses and our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Our enterprise risk management framework seeks to achieve an appropriate balance between risk and
return, which is critical to optimizing stockholder value. We have established processes and procedures intended to
identify, measure, monitor, report, analyze and control the types of risk to which we are subject. These risks include
liquidity risk, credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk, operational risk, legal and compliance risk, and reputational
risk, among others. We also maintain a compliance program to identify, measure, assess, and report on our
adherence to applicable laws, policies and procedures. While we assess and improve these programs on an ongoing
basis, there can be no assurance that our risk management or compliance programs, along with other related
controls, will effectively mitigate all risk and limit losses in our business. However, as with any risk management
framework, there are inherent limitations to our risk management strategies as there may exist, or develop in the
future, risks that we have not appropriately anticipated or identified. If our risk management framework proves
ineffective, we could suffer unexpected losses and our business, financial condition and results of operations could
be materially adversely affected.
We are subject to certain risks in connection with our data management or aggregation.
We are reliant on our ability to manage data and our ability to aggregate data in an accurate and timely
manner to ensure effective risk reporting and management. Our ability to manage data and aggregate data may be
limited by the effectiveness of our policies, programs, processes and practices that govern how data is acquired,
validated, stored, protected and processed. While we continuously update our policies, programs, processes and
practices, many of our data management and aggregation processes are manual and subject to human error or system
failure. Failure to manage data effectively and to aggregate data in an accurate and timely manner may limit our
ability to manage current and emerging risks, as well as to manage changing business needs.
63
Our business may be adversely affected by an increasing prevalence of fraud and other financial crimes.
Our loans to businesses and individuals and our deposit relationships and related transactions are subject to
exposure to the risk of loss due to fraud and other financial crimes. Nationally, reported incidents of fraud and other
financial crimes have increased, and while we have policies and procedures designed to prevent such losses, there
can be no assurance that we will not incur such losses.

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of
Equity Securities
Market, Holder and Dividend Information. Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market
LLC’s Global Market, under the symbol “FNWB.” The common stock was issued at a price of $10.00 per share on
January 29, 2015, and the Company's common stock commenced trading on The Nasdaq Global Market on January
30, 2015. As of the close of business on March 2, 2018, there were 11,709,407 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding and we had approximately 600 shareholders of record, excluding persons or entities who hold stock in
nominee or “street name” accounts with brokers.
The following table sets forth the high and low sales prices of the Company's common stock, provided by

Under Washington law, the Company is prohibited from paying a dividend if, as a result of its payment, the
Company would be unable to pay its debts as they become due in the normal course of business, or if the Company's
total liabilities would exceed its total assets. The principal source of funds for the Company is dividend payments
from the Bank. According to Washington law, First Federal may not declare or pay a cash dividend on its capital
stock if it would cause its net worth to be reduced below (1) the amount required for liquidation accounts or (2) the
net worth requirements, if any, imposed by the Director of the DFI. Dividends on First Federal's capital stock may
66
not be paid in an aggregate amount greater than the aggregate retained earnings of First Federal, without the
approval of the Director of the DFI. See Item 1, “Business-How We Are Regulated,” for more information regarding
the restrictions on the Company’s and the Bank’s abilities to pay dividends.
Stock Repurchases. On February 4, 2016, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had
authorized the repurchase of up to 523,014 shares of the Company's common stock, representing approximately
4.0% of total shares we issued in our initial stock offering and in conjunction with our transition from a mutual to
stock form of ownership, to be used to fund grants of restricted stock under the Company's 2015 Equity Incentive
Plan. On September 27, 2016 and September 26, 2017, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had
authorized the repurchase and retirement of up to 1,300,756 and 1,166,659 shares of its common stock, respectively.
Both announcements represented a repurchase of approximately 10.0% of total shares outstanding at the time of the
announcement. The repurchase programs permit shares to be repurchased in the open market or private transactions,
through block trades, and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with the SEC's Rule
10b5-1. As of December 31, 2017, 523,014 shares had been repurchased at an average cost of $13.07 per share
representing all of the shares authorized for repurchase under the Company's 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. In
addition, 1,162,100 shares at an average cost of $14.41 per share had been repurchased and retired, representing all
of the shares authorized for repurchase pursuant to the September 27, 2016 stock repurchase plan, and 39,800 shares
at an average cost of $17.08 per share had been repurchased and retired pursuant to the September 26, 2017 stock
repurchase plan. The following table represents the shares repurchased during the quarter ended December 31, 2017.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
First Northwest Bancorp (or the "Company") is a bank holding company which primarily engages in the
business activity of its subsidiary, First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles ("First Federal" or the
"Bank"). First Federal is a community-oriented financial institution serving Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, Whatcom,
and King counties in Washington, through its 13 banking locations. We offer a wide range of products and services
focused on the lending and depository needs of the communities we serve. While we have a large concentration of
first lien one- to four-family mortgage loans, we have increased our origination of commercial real estate, multi-
70
family real estate, and construction loans in order to diversify our portfolio and increase interest income. We
continue to originate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans and may sell conforming loans into the
secondary market to increase noninterest income and improve our interest rate risk or retain select loans in our
portfolio to enhance interest income. We offer traditional consumer and business deposit products, including
transaction accounts, savings and money market accounts and certificates of deposit for individuals, businesses and
nonprofit organizations. Deposits are our primary source of funds for our lending and investing activities.
First Federal is significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions as well as government policies and
regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions. Deposit
flows are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing time deposits, available
alternative investments, account maturities, and the overall level of personal income and savings. Lending activities
are influenced by the demand for funds, the number and quality of lenders, and regional economic cycles.
Our primary source of pre-tax income is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between
interest income earned on our loans and investments and interest expense paid on our deposits and borrowings.
Changes in levels of interest rates affect our net interest income. A secondary source of income is noninterest
income, which includes revenue we receive from providing products and services, including service charges on
deposit accounts, mortgage banking income, earnings from bank-owned life insurance, and gains and losses from
sales of securities.
An offset to net interest income is the provision for loan losses, which represents the periodic charge to
operations which is required to adequately provide for probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio. As a loan's risk
rating improves, property values increase, or recoveries of amounts previously charged off are received, a recapture
of previously recognized provision for loan losses may be added to net interest income.
The noninterest expenses we incur in operating our business consist of salaries and employee benefits and
expenses, occupancy and equipment expenses, federal deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments, data
processing expenses, expenses related to real estate and personal property owned and other miscellaneous expenses.
Our Business and Operating Strategy
Our operating strategy is focused on diversifying our loan portfolio, expanding our deposit product offerings, and
enhancing our infrastructure. Certain highlights of our operations in recent years are as follows:
• Expanding our footprint. Over the past four years, we have opened three new full-service branches in
Silverdale and Bellingham, Washington and a Home Lending Center (“HLC”) in Seattle, Washington.
Through these new locations, we have realized growth in deposits and expanded our ability to secure
customer relationships and lending opportunities outside of our historic market areas in the North Olympic
Peninsula. As part of our planned expansion into new markets, we have opened a full-service branch
located in Bainbridge Island, Washington on January 8, 2018. This new branch offers similar deposit,
lending, and investment products and services as other branch locations and will utilize interactive teller
machines, as we continue to expand our operations through the use of technology.
• Repositioning the loan portfolio. Over the past five years, we have significantly increased the origination
of commercial real estate, multi-family real estate, and construction and land loans. This has been done to
increase the yield on our loan portfolio, reduce our exposure to interest rate risk, and shorten the maturity
of the loan portfolio.
• Adding new deposit capabilities. In addition to traditional consumer and business deposit products, we
offer remote deposit capture, consumer and business on-line banking, consumer and business mobile
banking, and have recently upgraded our commercial on-line banking capabilities in order to attract more
business deposit customers. At our new branch locations in Silverdale, Bainbridge Island, and Bellingham,
Washington, and at our main administrative building and downtown locations in Port Angeles, Washington,
we have implemented interactive teller machines, allowing our customers to conduct business with a teller
through a video monitor. We remain committed to maintaining competitive deposit products and services.
• Enhancing our infrastructure. Over the past several years, we have focused on upgrading our
infrastructure, both in terms of equipment and personnel, in order to support our changing lending and
deposit capabilities and position ourselves for growth.
71
Our objective is to develop First Federal into an independent, high performing bank focused on meeting the
needs of individuals, small businesses and community organizations throughout our market areas with our
exceptional service and competitive products. We intend to implement these strategies to achieve our objective:
•
Increasing our portfolio of higher yielding commercial loans. Through increased loan originations and
purchases, we intend to increase our loan to deposit ratio and the percentage of our loan portfolio consisting
of higher-yielding commercial real estate and commercial business loans. These loan categories offer
higher risk-adjusted returns, shorter maturities and more sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations than
traditional fixed-rate, one- to four-family residential loans. Our commercial and multifamily real estate and
commercial business loans have increased from $138.7 million, or 30.3% of total loans, at June 30, 2013, to
$293.0 million, or 37.3% of total loans, at December 31, 2017. The increase resulted in part from
developing relationships with new loan referral sources, including our Board of Directors and loan brokers,
pursuing loan purchase and participation opportunities, competing successfully in new and existing
markets, and benefiting from the improvement of the economy in northwestern Washington. We have also
increased our lending for construction and land loans, consisting primarily of commercial real estate and
multi-family construction. Our construction and land loans have increased to $71.1 million at December 31,
2017 compared to $15.5 million at June 30, 2013.
• Maintaining our focus on asset quality. We believe that strong asset quality is a key to our long-term
financial success. We are focused on monitoring existing performing loans, resolving nonperforming loans,
and selling foreclosed assets. Nonperforming assets have decreased from $12.1 million at June 30, 2013, to
$1.6 million at December 31, 2017. The level of our nonperforming assets has been reduced through write-
downs, collections, modifications, and sales of real estate owned and repossessed assets. We have taken
proactive steps to resolve our nonperforming loans, including negotiating repayment plans, forbearances,
loan modifications and loan extensions with our borrowers when appropriate. We have also accepted short
payoffs on delinquent loans, particularly when such payoffs result in a smaller loss to us than foreclosure.
We also retain the services of independent firms to periodically review segments of our loan portfolio and
provide comments regarding our loan policies and procedures.
• Attracting core deposits and other deposit products. Our strategy is to emphasize relationship banking
with our customers to obtain a greater share of their deposits, with specific emphasis on their core
transaction accounts. We believe this emphasis will help to increase our level of core deposits and locally-
based retail certificates of deposit. In addition to our retail branches, we maintain state-of-the-art
technology-based products, such as on-line personal financial management, business online banking,
business remote deposit products, mobile remote deposit services through smartphones and tablets,
account-to-account transfer services between First Federal and other banks, and person to person funds
transfer through smartphones and tablets that enable us to compete effectively with banks of all sizes. We
enhanced our integrated mobile banking platform by introducing applications for both smartphones and
tablets, upgraded our business on-line banking platform, and extended banking hours through the use of
interactive teller machines.
• Expanding our market presence and capturing business opportunities resulting from changes in the
competitive environment. By delivering high quality, customer-focused products and services, we believe
we can attract additional borrowers and depositors and thus increase our market share and revenue
generation in our primary market area. We intend to continue our franchise growth by opening new branch
locations, and we also expect that community bank consolidation will continue to take place and may
consider acquiring individual branches or other banks. We do not, however, currently have any
understandings or agreements regarding any specific acquisitions and will be disciplined when evaluating
and deciding on future acquisitions, recognizing that there may also be opportunity for increasing our
market share as a result of customer dissatisfaction from other transactions or changes in strategy of market
competitors. Our primary focus for expansion will be in northwestern Washington, although we may
consider opportunities that arise in other parts of Western Washington.
• Hiring experienced employees with a customer sales and service focus. Our goal is to compete by
relying on the strength of our customer service and relationship building. We believe that our ability to
continue to attract and retain banking professionals who have a significant knowledge of existing and new
market areas, possess strong business banking sales and service skills, and maintain a focus on community
relationships will enhance our success. We intend to hire additional lenders and business development
officers who are established in their communities to enhance our market position and add profitable growth
opportunities.

Critical Accounting Policies
We have certain accounting policies that are important to the assessment of our financial condition, since they
require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are
inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in
facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to,
changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy and changes in the financial condition of borrowers.
Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in
"Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
The following represent our critical accounting policies:
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary
to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision
for loan losses, which is charged to income. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves
a high degree of judgment. Among the material estimates required to establish the allowance are: the likelihood of default;
the loss exposure at default; the amount and timing of future cash flows on impaired loans; the value of collateral; and the
determination of loss factors to be applied to the various elements of the portfolio. All of these estimates are susceptible to
significant change. Management reviews, and the Board of Directors approves, at least quarterly, the level of the
allowance and the provision for loan losses based on past loss experience, current economic conditions and other factors
related to the collectability of the loan portfolio. Although we believe that we use the best information available to
establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic or other
conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. In addition, the FDIC and the DFI, as
an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to
recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgment about information available at the time of their
examination. A large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions for loan losses to replenish the
allowance, which would adversely affect earnings. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
contained in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
Mortgage Servicing Rights. We record mortgage servicing rights on loans originated and subsequently sold into
the secondary market. We stratify our capitalized mortgage servicing rights based on the type, term and interest rates of
the underlying loans. Mortgage servicing rights are initially recognized at fair value. The value is determined through a
discounted cash flow analysis, which uses interest rates, prepayment speeds and delinquency rate assumptions as inputs.
All of these assumptions require a significant degree of management judgment. If our assumptions prove to be incorrect,
the value of our mortgage servicing rights could be negatively affected. See Notes 1 and 6 to the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
Income Taxes. Management makes estimates and judgments to calculate certain tax liabilities and to determine
the recoverability of certain deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial
statement recognition of revenues and expenses. We also estimate a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if, based
on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be
realized in future periods. These estimates and judgments are inherently subjective. In evaluating the recoverability of
deferred tax assets, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including past operating results,
recent cumulative losses - both capital and operating - and the forecast of future taxable income, both capital gains and
operating. In determining future taxable income, management makes assumptions for the amount of taxable income, the
reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These
assumptions require judgments about future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates to manage our
business. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record a valuation allowance against
deferred tax assets. An increase in the valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in the period and
could have a significant impact on future earnings.
Fair Value. Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other
assumptions. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit
risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in
assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect these estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of new accounting pronouncements and their impact on the Company, see Note 1 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017
Assets. Total assets increased $128.0 million, or 11.8%, to $1.2 billion at December 31, 2017, from $1.1
billion at June 30, 2017, primarily due to an increase of $59.9 million, or 21.4%, in total investment securities to
$340.4 million at December 31, 2017 from $280.5 million at June 30, 2017 and an increase in net loans receivable
of $52.3 million, or 7.2%, to $779.1 million at December 31, 2017 from $726.8 million at June 30, 2017.
Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased $52.1 million, or 7.1%, during the six months ended
December 31, 2017. One- to four-family residential loans increased $27.2 million, or 8.3%, the result of originations
of $36.3 million and a purchased loan pool of $28.0 million, consisting of jumbo loans secured by residential
properties located in Washington State, partially offset by normal repayment and amortization activity. During the
six months ended December 31, 2017, we sold $10.2 million of residential loans in the secondary market. We
continue to strive for origination growth from our HLC with the intention of retaining in our portfolio originations of
one- to four-family residential loans in order to meet our loan growth objectives while selling off excess production
into the secondary market; however, we also continue to rely on the purchase of one- to four-family residential loans
to supplement organic originations.
During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the balance of multi-family and commercial real estate
loans increased $16.6 million, or 6.4%, consisting mainly of an increase in multi-family loans of $15.7 million.
During this period home equity loans increased $2.6 million, or 7.2%, and other consumer loans increased $7.1
million, or 33.7%, primarily as a result of increased originations of auto loans through our indirect auto lending
program. These loan increases were partially offset by modest decreases in commercial business loans of $770,000
and construction and land loans of $485,000.
There were $59.4 million in undisbursed construction commitments at December 31, 2017 compared to
$32.0 million at June 30, 2017. Undisbursed construction commitments at December 31, 2017 included $16.8
million of mainly custom one- to four-family residential construction located primarily in the North Olympic
Peninsula; $39.7 million multi-family construction located in the Puget Sound region; and $2.9 million commercial
real estate construction located in the Puget Sound Region consisting of $2.4 million of speculative construction,
and $522,000 of other commercial real estate. Our construction loans are geographically disbursed throughout the
state of Washington, and we manage our construction lending by utilizing the assistance of a licensed third party
vendor.
During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company originated $174.4 million of loans, of
which $130.2 million, or 74.6%, were originated in the Puget Sound region, $41.1 million, or 23.6%, in the North
Olympic Peninsula region, and $2.8 million, or 1.6%, in other areas in Washington.
Our allowance for loan losses increased $237,000, or 2.8%, to $8.8 million at December 31, 2017 from
$8.5 million at June 30, 2017, and the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.1% at
December 31, 2017 and 1.2% at June 30, 2017. There was no material change in our allowance for loan losses as a
percentage of total loans during the six month ended December 31, 2017 as our asset quality has remained stable.
We believe our allowance for loan losses is adequate, with normal fluctuations in the balance of nonperforming
assets and other credit quality measures expected as we increase the balance of our loan portfolio.

Nonperforming loans decreased $380,000, or 19.8%, during the six months ended December 31, 2017,
which included decreases in nonperforming one- to four-family residential loans of $361,000, commercial real estate
loans of $48,000, and home equity loans of $33,000. These decreases were partially offset by increases in
nonperforming other consumer loans of $38,000 and construction and land loans of $24,000. Nonperforming loans
to total loans decreased to 0.2% at December 31, 2017 from 0.3% at June 30, 2017. Real estate owned and
repossessed assets decreased $81,000, or 77.9%, to $23,000 at December 31, 2017, from $104,000 at June 30, 2017.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans increased to 570.7% at December 31, 2017
from 445.1% at June 30, 2017.
At December 31, 2017, there were $4.9 million in restructured loans, of which $4.5 million were
performing in accordance with their modified payment terms and returned to accrual status. Classified loans,
consisting solely of substandard loans, increased by $3.4 million, or 103.0%, to $6.7 million at December 31, 2017,
from $3.3 million at June 30, 2017. The change in classified loans was mainly the result of a downgraded
commercial real estate loan of $2.7 million to substandard status. The Bank continues to work with the borrower
towards a satisfactory repayment of this loan.

Total investment securities increased $59.9 million, or 21.4%, to $340.4 million at December 31, 2017,
from $280.5 million at June 30, 2017, primarily as a result of new investments purchased as part of our strategy to
leverage our capital, partially offset by sales, prepayment activity, and normal amortization. Our management made
a strategic decision to leverage our capital using a combination of cash received from our growth in customer
deposits and additional borrowings from the FHLB to purchase various investment securities to generate additional
net interest income. The majority of investments purchased have variable rates, generally resetting quarterly based
on a specified index and margin, and are expected to closely match changes in short-term borrowing rates. The
average repricing term of our investment securities portfolio was estimated at 3.5 years as of December 31, 2017, as
compared to 4.1 years as of June 30, 2017. We anticipate the variable rate securities purchased as part of this
strategy will help to mitigate our interest rate risk and manage price volatility in our investment portfolio. While we
expect the results of this strategy will improve earnings and help us to leverage a portion of the capital we hold in
76
excess of well-capitalized levels at this time, we continue to focus on growing our loan portfolio and improving our
earning asset mix over the long term.
Mortgage-backed securities represent the largest portion of our investment securities portfolio and totaled
$200.9 million at December 31, 2017, a decrease of $6.2 million, or 3.0%, from $207.1 million at June 30, 2017.
Other investment securities, including municipal bonds and other asset-backed securities, were $139.5 million at
December 31, 2017, an increase of $66.1 million, or 90.1% from $73.4 million at June 30, 2017. As of
December 31, 2017, the investment portfolio, including mortgage-backed securities, had an estimated projected
average life of 5.3 years and 4.7 years as of June 30, 2017, based on the interest rate environment at those times. At
December 31, 2017, the investment portfolio contained 85.0% of amortizing securities, compared to 84.5% at
June 30, 2017, and the projected average life of our securities may vary due to prepayment activity, which,
particularly in the mortgage-backed securities portfolio, is generally affected by changing interest rates.
Management continues to focus on improving the mix of earning assets by originating loans and decreasing
securities as a percentage of earning assets; however, we may purchase investment securities as a source of
additional interest income and also in lieu of carrying higher cash balances at nominal interest rates. For additional
information, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Liabilities. Total liabilities increased $128.6 million, or 14.1%, to $1.0 billion at December 31, 2017, from
$910.0 million at June 30, 2017, primarily due to increases in FHLB borrowings and deposits. Borrowings increased
$66.7 million or 86.1%, to $144.1 million at December 31, 2017 from $77.4 million at June 30, 2017. At December
31, 2017 we had $60.0 million of long term FHLB advances and $84.1 million in short term advances maturing in
three months or less, which supported our purchase of additional investments for our leverage strategy as well as
other cash flow needs to fund our operations, including loan originations and purchases.
Deposit account balances increased $61.2 million, or 7.4%, to $885.0 million at December 31, 2017, from
$823.8 million at June 30, 2017. Transaction, savings, and money market account deposits increased $33.5 million,
or 5.5%, to $645.8 million at December 31, 2017 from $612.3 million at June 30, 2017, including an increase in
personal and business transaction accounts of $10.7 million and $15.9 million, respectively. Certificates of deposit
increased $27.8 million, or 13.1%, during this period. Deposit account increases were primarily the result of our
continuing efforts to expand commercial and consumer deposit relationships in Silverdale and Bellingham,
Washington, as well as within our historic Clallam and Jefferson County, Washington locations.
Equity. Total shareholders' equity decreased $676,000, or 0.4%, to $177.0 million at December 31, 2017,
from $177.7 million at June 30, 2017. This decrease during the six months ended December 31, 2017 resulted from
a decrease of $2.2 million related to our repurchase of shares and a decrease of $867,000 due to the change in
accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the change in unrealized market value of available for sale
securities, net of tax. These decreases were partially offset by net income of $1.7 million and an increase of $1.0
million related to our stock-based compensation plans. During the six months ended December 31, 2017, we
repurchased 136,700 shares of common stock at an average cost of $16.18 per share, pursuant to the Company's
stock repurchase plans.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016
General. The Company had net income for the six months ended December 31, 2017 of $1.7 million,
compared to a net income of $1.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of $180,000, or
5.6%. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the net deferred tax asset revaluation ("DTA revaluation") of
$1.1 million resulting from the passage of the Tax Act and an increase in non-interest expenses of $1.8 million.
While earnings were lower in 2017, we earned $0.16 per common and diluted share for both periods, a result of
lower average common shares outstanding in 2017 due to our share repurchase programs, as compared to the same
period in 2016. The decreases were partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $2.0 million, a decrease
in the provision for loan losses of $560,000 and an increase in non-interest income of $282,000 for the six months
ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the same period one year prior.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $2.0 million to $17.0 million for the six months ended
December 31, 2017, from $15.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016, mainly as the result of an
increase in interest income related to the increase in the average balance of loans receivable during the six months
ended December 31, 2017, supplemented by an increase in both the average balance and interest earned on
investment securities.
77
The net interest margin increased six basis points to 3.15% for the six months ended December 31, 2017,
from 3.09% for the six months ended December 31, 2016. The net interest margin increased due primarily to a
change in the mix of interest-earning assets, with the average balance of loans receivable increasing $77.8 million
and the average balance of investment securities increasing $32.6 million.
Of the $2.0 million increase in net interest income during the six months ended December 31, 2017
compared to the six months ended December 31, 2016, $1.2 million was the result of an increase in volume, and
$794,000 was due to changes in rates. Loans receivable was the main contributor to the increase in net interest
income with $1.6 million due to an increase in average volumes and $439,000 due to increases in rates.
The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 0.81% for the six months ended December 31,
2017, compared to 0.68% for the same period last year, due primarily to higher average balances and rates paid on
certificates of deposit, partially offset by the lower by the lower average rate paid on borrowings as we increased our
utilization of short-term FHLB borrowings as compared to the prior period.
Interest Income. Interest income increased $2.8 million, or 16.0%, to $20.3 million for the six months
ended December 31, 2017 from $17.5 million for the comparable period in 2016, primarily due to an increase in the
average balance of loans receivable. Interest and fees on loans receivable increased $2.1 million, to $16.0 million for
the six months ended December 31, 2017 from $13.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016, due to
an increase in the average balance of net loans receivable of $77.8 million as compared to the prior year. Average
loan yields increased 12 basis points compared to the six months ended December 31, 2016, as we continued to
increase our balance of higher yielding loans, such as construction and commercial real estate loans. We also
benefited from increases in short-term interest rates on our adjustable rate loans, such as construction, commercial
business, and home equity lines of credit.
Interest income on investment securities increased $340,000 to $1.6 million for the six months ended
December 31, 2017 compared to $1.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016, due to a $32.6 million
increase in the average balance of investment securities to $124.9 million for the six months ended December 31,
2017 compared to $92.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016, partially offset by a decrease in
average yield of 17 basis points as compared to the same period in 2016. The change in average yields on
investment securities does not include the benefit of nontaxable income from municipal bonds. Interest income on
mortgage-backed and related securities increased $349,000 to $2.5 million for the six months ended December 31,
2017 from $2.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $852,000, or 34.9%, to $3.3 million for the six months
ended December 31, 2017, compared to $2.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016, due to an
increase in deposit costs of $538,000, or 40.1% and an increase in borrowing costs. Deposit costs increased for the
six months ended December 31, 2017 due to increasing interest rates and customers transferring deposit accounts
into higher-yielding certificates of deposit. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $62.6 million, or
9.7%, to $706.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017 from $644.2 million for the six months ended
December 31, 2016, as we continued to target growth in deposits in new and existing market areas. During the six
months ended December 31, 2017, the cost of certificates of deposit increased $501,000 due to an increase in
78
average balance of $61.5 million and an increase in the average rate paid of 14 basis points, and the cost of money
market accounts increased $27,000 due to an increase in the average rate paid of four basis points, as compared to
the six month ended 2016. During the six months ended December 31, 2017, there was an increase in the average
balance of savings accounts of $6.5 million and transaction accounts of $5.6 million as compared to the prior year.
The average cost of all deposit products increased to 0.53% for the six months ended December 31, 2017 from
0.42% for the six months ended December 31, 2016, as we paid higher rates to attract new and retain existing
deposit balances and customer relationships during the year. Borrowing costs increased $314,000, or 28.6%, due
primarily to an increase in the average balance of borrowings of $36.7 million, or 50.7%, as we utilized borrowings
to fund our operations and to purchase loans and investment securities.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $200,000 during the six months ended
December 31, 2017, compared to $760,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2016, primarily due to decreases
in nonaccruing loans during the six months end 2017, partially offset by the additional provision taken due to the
increase in the balance of net loans receivable.

$229,000 net gain on sale of investment securities. We also had a $70,000 increase in the net gain on sales of loans
due to an increase the sale of one- to four family residential loans during the period.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $1.8 million, or 12.6%, to $16.1 million for the six
months ended December 31, 2017, compared to $14.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016,
primarily as a result of a $1.1 million increase in compensation and benefits, as we added more staff to manage our
operations and growth, reward our staff and management for performance through incentive programs and sales
commissions, and have implemented retention tools such as our stock awards program. The opening of our newest
branches in Bellingham, Washington and Bainbridge Island, Washington, have significantly contributed to our
increased compensation and benefits and occupancy and equipment expense during the six months ended December
31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. Professional fees increased as compared to the same six month
period last year as we continued to utilize consulting and professional services to assist with operating our business.
Other noninterest expense increased primarily as a result of increased expenses related to loan and deposit products
and other organizational expenses. We expect increased noninterest expenses as we continue to grow and expand
into new markets.

Provision for Income Tax. An income tax expense of $2.0 million was recorded for the six months ended
December 31, 2017 compared to an income tax expense of $853,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2016.
The increase was mainly due to the net DTA revaluation expensed through the provision for income taxes as result
of the passage of the Tax Act. The legislation has resulted in a $1.8 million decrease in the value of our deferred tax
asset and a $725,000 decrease to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which resulted in a $1.1 million increase
to the Company's income tax expense.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016
Assets. Total assets increased $77.6 million, or 7.7%, to $1.1 billion at June 30, 2017, from $1.0 billion at
June 30, 2016, primarily due to an increase of $107.0 million, or 17.3%, in net loans receivable to $726.8 million at
June 30, 2017 from $619.8 million at June 30, 2016, partially offset by a decrease of $43.4 million, or 13.4%, in
total investment securities to $280.5 million at June 30, 2017 from $323.9 million at June 30, 2016.
Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased $108.0 million, or 17.3%, to $734.0 million at June 30,
2017, from $626.0 million at June 30, 2016, as a result of increases in all loan categories during the year.
Commercial real estate loans increased $40.8 million, or 25.3%, to $202.0 million at June 30, 2017 from $161.2
million at June 30, 2016, construction and land loans increased $21.2 million, or 42.1%, to $71.6 million at June 30,
2017 from $50.4 million at June 30, 2016, and multi-family loans increased $12.0 million, or 26.0%, to $58.1
million at June 30, 2017 from $46.1 million at June 30, 2016, as we continued to increase commercial and
construction lending as a percentage of our earning assets during the year. To supplement our organic growth, we
participated with other lenders during the year to originate loans on properties located in the state of Washington,
which included participations in multi-family loans totaling $10.8 million and of a multi-family construction project
of $2.8 million.
One- to four-family residential loans increased $19.7 million, or 6.4%, to $328.2 million at June 30, 2017
from $308.5 million at June 30, 2016, the result of originations of $70.5 million and a purchased loan pool of $30.3
million, consisting of jumbo loans secured by residential properties located in Washington State, partially offset by
normal repayment and amortization activity. Of our residential loan originations, $22.3 million were sold into the
secondary market.
Other consumer loans increased $12.0 million, or 133.0%, to $21.0 million at June 30, 2017 from $9.0
million at June 30, 2016, primarily as a result of increased originations of auto loans through our indirect auto
lending program. In addition, home equity loans increased $2.0 million, or 5.9%, and commercial business loans
increased $149,000, or 0.9%, during the year.
There were $32.0 million in undisbursed construction commitments at June 30, 2017 compared to $29.9
million at June 30, 2016. Undisbursed construction commitments at June 30, 2017 included $13.6 million of mainly
custom one- to four-family residential construction located primarily in the North Olympic Peninsula; $9.5 million
multi-family construction located in the Puget Sound region; and $8.9 million commercial real estate construction
located in the Puget Sound Region consisting of $4.7 million of speculative construction, $3.5 million of hospitality,
and $686,000 of other commercial real estate. Our constructions loans are geographically disbursed throughout the
state of Washington, and we manage our construction lending by utilizing the assistance of a licensed third party
vendor.
During the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company originated $221.9 million of loans, of which $121.7
million, or 54.8%, were originated in the Puget Sound region, $89.4 million, or 40.3%, in the North Olympic
Peninsula region, and $10.8 million, or 4.9%, in other areas in Washington.
Our allowance for loan losses increased $1.3 million, or 18.0%, to $8.5 million at June 30, 2017 from $7.2
million at June 30, 2016, and the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans remained the same at 1.2%
for both June 30, 2016 and 2017. There was no material change in our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of
total loans during the year as our asset quality has remained stable.

Nonperforming loans decreased $1.4 million, or 42.4%, to $1.9 million at June 30, 2017, from $3.3 million
at June 30, 2016. During the year ended June 30, 2017, nonperforming one- to four-family residential loans
decreased $1.4 million, other consumer loans decreased $91,000, construction and land loans decreased $63,000,
and commercial real estate loans decreased $48,000. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in
nonperforming home equity loans of $231,000. Nonperforming loans to total loans decreased to 0.3% at June 30,
2017 from 0.5% at June 30, 2016, and real estate owned and repossessed assets increased $23,000, or 28.4%, to
$104,000 at June 30, 2017, from $81,000 at June 30, 2016. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of
nonperforming loans increased to 445.1% at June 30, 2017 from 222.3% at June 30, 2016.
At June 30, 2017, there were $6.1 million in restructured loans, of which $5.5 million were performing in
accordance with their modified payment terms and returned to accrual status. Classified loans, consisting solely of
substandard loans, decreased by $1.3 million, or 28.3%, to $3.3 million at June 30, 2017, from $4.6 million at
June 30, 2016, as the credit quality of our loan portfolio continued to improve during the year.

At June 30, 2017, total investment securities decreased $43.4 million, or 13.4%, to $280.5 million at
June 30, 2017, from $323.9 million at June 30, 2016, primarily as a result of prepayments, calls, and amortization
during the year. Mortgage-backed securities represent the largest portion of our investment securities portfolio and
totaled $207.1 million at June 30, 2017, a decrease of $16.8 million, or 7.5%, from $223.9 million at June 30, 2016.
Other investment securities, including municipal bonds and other asset-backed securities, were $73.4 million at
June 30, 2017, a decrease of $26.6 million, or 26.6% from $100.0 million at June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2017, the
investment portfolio, including mortgage-backed securities, had an estimated projected average life and average
repricing term of 4.7 years and 4.1 years, respectively, and 4.2 years and 3.7 years, respectively, as of June 30, 2016,
based on the interest rate environment at those times. At June 30, 2017, the investment portfolio contained 84.5% of
amortizing securities, compared to 85.1% at June 30, 2016, and the projected average life of our securities may vary
due to prepayment activity, which, particularly in the mortgage-backed securities portfolio, is generally affected by
changing interest rates. Management continues to focus on improving the mix of earning assets by originating loans
and decreasing securities as a percentage of earning assets; however, we may purchase investment securities as a
source of additional interest income and also in lieu of carrying higher cash balances at nominal interest rates. For
additional information, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this
Form 10-K.
Liabilities. Total liabilities increased $89.6 million, or 10.9%, to $910.0 million at June 30, 2017, from
$820.4 million at June 30, 2016, primarily the result of deposit account balances increasing $100.5 million, or
13.9%, to $823.8 million at June 30, 2017, from $723.3 million at June 30, 2016. Transaction, savings, and money
market account deposits increased $48.1 million, or 8.5%, to $612.3 million at June 30, 2017 from $564.2 million at
June 30, 2016, including an increase in personal and business transaction accounts of $18.2 million and $14.2
million, respectively. Certificates of deposit increased $52.4 million, or 32.9%, during this period. Deposit account
increases were primarily the result of our continuing efforts to expand commercial and consumer deposit
83
relationships in Silverdale and Bellingham, Washington, as well as within our historic Clallam and Jefferson County,
Washington locations.
Borrowings, consisting of $60.0 million long term advances and $17.4 million of short term overnight
advances from the FHLB, decreased $3.3 million, or 4.1%, to $77.4 million at June 30, 2017 from $80.7 million at
June 30, 2016, due to a decrease in the utilization of short term overnight advances.
Equity. Total shareholders' equity decreased $12.0 million, or 6.3%, to $177.7 million at June 30, 2017,
from $189.7 million at June 30, 2016. This decrease during the year was the result of a decrease of $16.5 million
related to our repurchase of shares and a decrease of $2.3 million due to the change in accumulated other
comprehensive income related to the change in unrealized market value of available for sale securities, net of tax,
partially offset by net income of $5.1 million and an increase of $1.7 million related to our stock-based
compensation plans. During the year ended June 30, 2017, we repurchased 1,164,514 shares of common stock at an
average cost of $14.21 per share, pursuant to the Company's stock repurchase plans.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016
General. The Company had net income for the year ended June 30, 2017 of $5.1 million, or $0.46 per
share, compared to a net income of $4.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $1.1 million, or
27.5%. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $4.2 million, partially
offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses of $1.0 million and an increase in non-interest expense of $1.9
million for the year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the prior year.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $4.2 million to $31.6 million for the year ended
June 30, 2017, from $27.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2016, mainly as the result of an increase in interest
income related to the increase in the average balance of loans receivable during the year, partially offset by a
decrease in interest on investment and mortgage-back and related securities.
The net interest margin increased 20 basis points to 3.18% for the year ended June 30, 2017, from 2.98%
for the fiscal year June 30, 2016. The net interest margin increased due primarily to a change in the mix of interest-
earning assets, with a significant increase in the average balance of total loans receivable, which earned higher
yields than other interest earning assets, coupled with a small decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing
liabilities.
Of the $4.2 million increase in net interest income during the year ended June 30, 2017 compared to the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, $4.6 million was the result of an increase in volume, partially offset by a decrease
of $380,000 due to changes in rates. Loans receivable was the main contributor to the increase in net interest income
with $6.4 million due to an increase in average volume, partially offset by an $840,000 decrease due to changes in
rates.
The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.70% for the year ended June 30, 2017,
compared to 0.71% for the prior fiscal year, due primarily to a higher percentage of interest-bearing liabilities held
in deposits at average rates lower than the average cost of borrowings as compared to the prior year.
Interest Income. Total interest income increased $4.6 million, or 14.3%, to $36.8 million for the year
ended June 30, 2017 from $32.2 million for the comparable period in 2016, primarily due to an increase in the
average balance of loans receivable. Interest and fees on loans receivable increased $5.6 million, to $29.3 million for
the year ended June 30, 2017 from $23.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2016, due to an increase in the average
balance of net loans receivable of $146.3 million during the year. Average loan yields decreased 12 basis points
compared to the year ended June 30, 2016, as higher yielding loans continued to pay off and were replaced with
loans at lower interest rates.
Interest income on investment securities decreased $541,000 to $2.6 million for the year ended June 30,
2017 compared to $3.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2016, due to a $31.9 million decrease in the average
balance of investment securities to $86.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2017 compared to $118.0 million for
the year ended June 30, 2016, partially offset by an increase in average yield of 35 basis points due primarily to
adjustable-rate securities repricing at higher rates compared to the same period in 2016. The change in average yield
on investment securities does not include the benefit of nontaxable income from municipal bonds.
84
Interest income on mortgage-backed and related securities decreased $444,000 to $4.8 million for the year
ended June 30, 2017 from $5.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to a decrease in average
balance of $33.8 million as compared to the prior year, the result of prepayments and amortization.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $389,000, or 8.2%, to $5.2 million for the year ended
June 30, 2017, compared to $4.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to an increase in deposit
costs of $690,000, or 31.8%, during the year. Deposit costs increased for the year ended June 30, 2017 due to an
increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $77.9 million, or 13.4%, to $660.0 million for the year
ended June 30, 2017 from $582.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2016, as we continued to target growth in
deposits in new and existing market areas. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in borrowing costs of
$301,000, or 11.6%, during fiscal 2017 as we utilized a higher percentage of short term, lower cost borrowings as a
percentage of total borrowings, as we paid off a portion of more expensive, longer term FHLB borrowings during
fiscal 2016. During the year ended June 30, 2017, the cost of certificates of deposit increased $462,000 due to an
increase in average balance of $24.4 million and an increase in the average rates paid of 13 basis points, and the cost
of money market accounts increased $219,000 due to an increase in the average balance of $38.2 million and
increases in the average rate paid of five basis points, as compared to fiscal 2016. During fiscal 2017, there was an
increase in the average balance of transaction accounts of $9.2 million and savings accounts of $6.0 million as
compared to the prior year. The average cost of all deposit products increased to 0.43% for the year ended June 30,
2017 from 0.37% for the year ended June 30, 2016, as we paid higher rates to attract new and retain existing deposit
balances and customer relationships during the year.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $1.3 million during the year ended June 30,
2017, compared to $233,000 for the year ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to increases in the balance of loans
receivable in our portfolio, partially offset by decreases related to a decline in nonaccruing and classified loans
85
during the year. In comparison, the provision reported in 2016 was primarily a result of increases in the balances and
changes in the mix of loans receivable in our portfolio, partially offset by decreases related to a decline in
nonaccruing and classified loans and improvements in net-charge offs during the year.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income of $6.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2017 was stable when
compared to the prior year, with the absence of any gain on sale of investment securities during 2017 compared to
$1.6 million last year, offset by the death benefit received from bank-owned life insurance related to the death of a
former Bank executive, and increases in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance and gain on sale of
loans in 2017. The $587,000 increase in the cash surrender value of BOLI was primarily a result of increased returns
on the policies underlying BOLI and an increase to the BOLI asset of $10.0 million due to the purchase of additional
BOLI. The increase in net gain on sale of loans was primarily the result of an increase in the sale of one- to four
family residential loans reflecting an increase in our origination of loans held for sale. In addition, other income
decreased $232,000, primarily due to additional income received in 2016 related to the dissolution of our Craft3
subsidiary.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $1.9 million, or 6.8%, to $29.8 million for the year
ended June 30, 2017, compared to $27.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2016, primarily as a result of a $2.7
million increase in compensation and benefits, partially offset by the absence of $1.2 million in FHLB prepayment
penalties during the year. The increase in compensation and benefits expense was partially attributable to stock
86
awards issued during the year ended June 30, 2017 as part of our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which will be
expensed over a five year vesting period, and resulted in additional compensation and benefits of $977,000 as
compared to the same period in 2016. In addition to rewarding our staff and management for performance through
incentive programs and sales commissions reflected by our growth since June 30, 2016, the opening of our HLC
located in Seattle, Washington, and our newest branch in Bellingham, Washington have significantly contributed to
our increased compensation and benefits and occupancy and equipment expense during the year as compared to
2016. Professional fees decreased $342,000 as compared to the prior year as we continued to improve our processes
performed as a public company during the year. Real estate owned and repossessed assets expenses were minimal at
$17,000 for the year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to income of $307,000 in the prior year, due primarily to the
sale of a commercial real estate owned property and a $108,000 decline in real estate owned write-downs. Other
noninterest expense increased $243,000, primarily as a result of increased expenses related to loan and deposit
products and other organizational expenses. We expect increased noninterest expenses as we continue to grow and
expand into new markets.

Provision for Income Tax. An income tax expense of $1.7 million was recorded for the year ended
June 30, 2017 compared to an income tax expense of $1.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2016. This was
generally due to an increase in income before taxes of $1.4 million. The effective tax rates were 24.5% and 26.7%
for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company's tax rate is reduced from the statutory tax
rate in part as a result of permanent tax exclusions of noninterest income from BOLI and tax-exempt interest.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following tables present the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major
components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between the changes related to
outstanding balances and due to the changes in interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-
bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume
multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume). For purposes of this table,
changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the
change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk
Risk Management Overview. Managing risk is an essential part of successfully managing a financial
institution. Our Enterprise Risk Management Committee reports key risk indicators to the Board of Directors
through the Audit Committee. The most prominent risk exposures management monitors are: strategic, credit,
interest rate, liquidity, operational, compliance, reputational and legal risk. We utilize the services of outside firms to
assist us in our asset and liability management and our analysis of market risk.
Interest Rate Risk Management. We manage the interest rate sensitivity of interest-bearing liabilities and
interest-earning assets in an effort to minimize the adverse effects of changes in the interest rate environment.
Except for certain adjustable-rate investment securities, home equity lines of credit, and commercial real estate loans
that are tied to the prime rate, the twelve month constant maturity treasury, or the London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR"), deposit accounts typically reprice more quickly in response to changes in market interest rates than
mortgage loans because of their shorter maturities. As a result, sharp increases in interest rates may adversely affect
earnings. Typically, decreases in interest rates beneficially affect our earnings in the short term, but with the Federal
Reserve Board maintaining a low federal funds rate for a prolonged period of time, decreases in interest rates
adversely affect earnings due to prepayments and refinancing associated with loans and investment securities, which
are then reinvested in lower yielding assets, reducing interest income. In contrast, First Federal has little or no long-
term ability to reduce funding costs associated with deposits and borrowings.
We currently do not participate in hedging programs, interest rate swaps or other activities involving the
use of derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis. Management uses an interest rate sensitivity analysis to review our
level of interest rate risk. This analysis measures interest rate risk by computing changes in the present value of our
cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items in the event of a range of assumed changes in market
interest rates. The present value of equity is equal to the market value of assets minus the market value of liabilities,
with adjustments made for off-balance sheet items. This analysis assesses the risk of loss in market risk sensitive
91
instruments in the event of a sudden and sustained 100 to 300 basis point increase or a 100 basis point decrease in
market interest rates with no effect given to any future steps that management might take to counter the impact of
that interest rate movement. The following table presents the change in the present value of First Federal’s equity at
December 31, 2017, that would occur in the event of an immediate change in interest rates based on management's
assumptions.

Assumptions made by management relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates, and
the market values of certain assets under differing interest rate scenarios, among others. As with any method of
measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing
tables. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they
may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets
and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may
lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets have features, such as rate caps or floors, which
restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change
in interest rates, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates could deviate
significantly from those assumed in calculating the table.
Liquidity Management
Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term and long-term nature.
Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities and
borrowings from the FHLB. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are usually
predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, calls of investment securities and borrowed funds, and prepayments on
loans and investment securities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and
competition, which can cause those sources of funds to fluctuate.
Management regularly adjusts our investments in liquid assets based upon an assessment of expected loan
demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and objectives of our
interest-rate risk and investment policies.
92
Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents followed by available for sale securities. The levels of
these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At
December 31, 2017, cash and cash equivalents totaled $36.8 million, and securities classified as available-for-sale
provide additional sources of liquidity with a market value of $290.2 million at December 31, 2017. We have
pledged collateral to support borrowings from the FHLB of $144.1 million, and have established a borrowing
arrangement with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, for which no collateral has been pledged as of
December 31, 2017.
At December 31, 2017, we had $543,000 in loan commitments outstanding and an additional $59.6 million
in undisbursed loans, including undisbursed construction commitments, and standby letters of credit.
Certificates of deposit due within one year of December 31, 2017 totaled $139.6 million, or 58.3% of
certificates of deposit. The large percentage of certificates of deposit that mature within one year reflects customers'
hesitancy to invest their funds for longer periods as interest rates have begun to rise. Management believes, based on
past experience, that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will be renewed or rolled into money market
accounts. If these maturing deposits are not renewed, however, we will be required to seek other sources of funds,
including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting
the interest rates offered. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits
or other borrowings than we currently pay on certificates of deposit. In addition, we believe that our branch network,
and the general cash flows from our existing lending and investment activities, will afford us sufficient foreseeable
long-term liquidity. For additional information, see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Item 8 of this
Form 10-K.
The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and provides for its own liquidity to pay its operating
expenses and other financial obligations. At December 31, 2017, the Company (on an unconsolidated basis) had
liquid assets of $23.2 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Activities
In the normal course of operations, First Federal engages in a variety of financial transactions that are not
recorded in the financial statements. These transactions involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest
rate and liquidity risks. These transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the
form of loan commitments and lines of credit. For the six months ended December 31, 2017 and the year ended
June 30, 2017, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions likely to have a material effect on our financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Capital Resources
First Northwest Bancorp is a bank holding company subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve. As a
bank holding company, we are subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve under the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve. Our subsidiary, First
Federal, is subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by the FDIC. Capital adequacy requirements are
quantitative measures established by regulation that require us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital.
First Federal is subject to meeting minimum capital adequacy requirements for common equity Tier 1
(“CET1”) capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital, and tier 1 capital ("leverage"). Failure to meet
minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by bank
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
First Federal is subject to capital requirements adopted by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC. See Item 1,
“Business-How We Are Regulated,” and Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in
Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal’s
regulatory capital requirements.
In order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary
bonuses based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions, First Northwest
Bancorp and First Federal must maintain CET1 capital at an amount greater than the required minimum levels plus a
capital conservation buffer. This new capital conservation buffer requirement began to be phased in starting in
January 2016 requiring a buffer of 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will increase each year until fully
implemented to an amount of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets in January 2019. As of December 31, 2017, the
conservation buffer was 1.25%.
Consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable organization, our policy for First Federal is to
maintain its “well-capitalized” status in accordance with regulatory standards. At December 31, 2017, the Bank and
consolidated Company exceeded all regulatory capital requirements, and the Bank was considered "well capitalized"
under FDIC regulatory capital guidelines.

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices. The consolidated financial statements and related financial data
presented in this report have been prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States, which require the measurement of financial and operating results in terms of historical dollars without
considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of
inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs and the effect that general inflation may have on
both short-term and long-term interest rates. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities
of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact
on a financial institution's performance than do general levels of inflation. Although inflation expectations do affect
interest rates, interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods
and services.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our market risk arises principally from interest rate risk inherent in our lending, investing, deposit and
borrowing activities. Management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure. In addition to other
risks that we manage in the normal course of business, such as credit quality and liquidity, management considers
interest rate risk to be a significant market risk that could potentially have a material effect on our financial
condition and result of operations. The information contained under Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk" of this Form

financial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material
misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over
financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting,
assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

(cid:28)(cid:26)
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the
risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of First Northwest Bancorp and Subsidiary as of June 30,
2017 and 2016, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended June 30, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, First Northwest Bancorp maintained, in
all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017, based on
criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of operations - First Northwest Bancorp, a Washington corporation ("First Northwest"), became the holding company of First
Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles ("First Federal" or the "Bank") on January 29, 2015, upon completion of the
Bank's conversion from a mutual to stock form of organization (the "Conversion"). First Northwest and the Bank are collectively
referred to as the "Company." In connection with the Conversion, the Company issued an aggregate of 12,167,000 shares of common
stock at an offering price of $10.00 per share for gross proceeds of $121.7 million. An additional 933,360 shares of Company common
stock and $400,000 in cash were contributed to the First Federal Community Foundation ("Foundation"), a charitable foundation that
was established in connection with the conversion, resulting in the issuance of a total of 13,100,360 shares. The Company received
$117.6 million in net proceeds from the stock offering of which $58.4 million were contributed to the Bank upon Conversion.
At the time of Conversion, the Bank established a liquidation account in an amount equal to its total net worth, approximately $79.7
million, as of June 30, 2014, the latest statement of financial condition appearing in First Northwest's prospectus. The liquidation
account is maintained for the benefit of eligible depositors who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after the conversion.
The liquidation account is reduced annually to the extent that eligible depositors have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent
increases will not restore an eligible holder’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation, each eligible
depositor will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted
qualifying balances for accounts then held. The liquidation account balance is not available for payment of dividends, and the Bank
may not pay dividends if those dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount.
Pursuant to the Plan of Conversion, the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted an ESOP which purchased in the open market 8% of the
common stock originally issued for a total of 1,048,029 shares. As of December 31, 2017, 1,048,029 shares, or 100.0% of the total,
had been purchased. As of December 31, 2017, First Northwest had allocated 148,137 shares from the total shares purchased to
participants.
First Northwest's business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in First
Federal. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including the consolidated financial statements and related data, relates
primarily to the Bank.
The Bank is a community-oriented financial institution providing commercial and consumer banking services to individuals and
businesses in Western Washington State with offices in Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, and Whatcom counties. These services include
deposit and lending transactions that are supplemented with borrowing and investing activities.
Change in Fiscal Year - The Company's Board of Directors approved a change in the Company's fiscal year end from June 30 to
December 31, effective December 31, 2017. As a result of this change, the consolidated financial statements include the Company's
financial results for the six month transition period from July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017. The following tables present certain
comparative transition period condensed financial information for the six months ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015,
respectively.

Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires management to make assumptions. These assumptions result in estimates that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements,
and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to a determination of the allowance for
106
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
loan losses, mortgage servicing rights, fair value of financial instruments, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the valuation of
impaired loans.
Principles of consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Northwest Bancorp
and its wholly owned subsidiary, First Federal. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Subsequent events - The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure and determined there are
no such events or transactions requiring recognition or disclosure.
Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents consist of currency on hand, due from banks, and interest-bearing deposits
with financial institutions with an original maturity of three months or less. The amounts on deposit fluctuate and, at times, exceed the
insured limit by the FDIC, which potentially subjects First Federal to credit risk. First Federal has not experienced any losses due to
balances exceeding FDIC insurance limits.
Restricted assets - Federal Reserve Board regulations require maintenance of certain minimum reserve balances on deposit with the
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. The amount required to be on deposit was approximately $10.1 million, $8.8 million and $6.7
million at December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. First Federal was in compliance with its reserve
requirements at December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016.
Investment securities - Investment securities are classified into one of three categories: (1) held-to-maturity, (2) available-for-sale, or
(3) trading. First Federal had no trading securities at December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 or June 30, 2016. Investment securities are
categorized as held-to-maturity when First Federal has the positive intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity.
Securities that are held-to-maturity are stated at cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, which are
recognized as adjustments to interest income.
Investment securities categorized as available for sale are generally held for investment purposes (to maturity), although unanticipated
future events may result in the sale of some securities. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value, with the unrealized
holding gain or loss reported in other comprehensive income (OCI), net of tax, as a separate component of shareholders' equity.
Realized gains or losses are determined using the amortized cost basis of securities sold using the specific identification method and
are included in earnings. Dividend and interest income on investments are recognized when earned. Premiums and discounts are
recognized in interest income using the level yield method over the period to maturity.
The Company reviews investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) on a quarterly basis. For debt securities, the
Company considers whether management intends to sell a security or if it is likely that the Company will be required to sell the
security before recovery of the amortized cost basis of the investment, which may be maturity. For debt securities, if management
intends to sell the security or it is likely that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovering its cost basis, the
entire impairment loss would be recognized as OTTI and charged against earnings. If management does not intend to sell the security
and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the security, but management does not expect to recover the entire
amortized cost basis of the security, only the portion of the impairment loss representing credit losses would be recognized in earnings.
The credit loss on a security is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis and the present value of the cash flows
expected to be collected. Projected cash flows are discounted by the original or current effective interest rate depending on the nature
of the security being measured for potential OTTI. The remaining impairment related to all other factors, i.e. the difference between
the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and fair value, is recognized as a charge to OCI. Impairment losses related
to all other factors are presented as separate categories within OCI. If there is an indication of additional credit losses, the security is
re-evaluated according to the procedures described above.
Federal Home Loan Bank stock - First Federal’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB) stock is carried at
cost, which approximates fair value. As a member of the FHLB system, First Federal is required to maintain a minimum investment in
FHLB stock based on specific percentages of its outstanding mortgages, total assets, or FHLB advances. At December 31, 2017 and
107
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2017, First Federal’s minimum investment requirement was approximately $7.0 million and $4.4 million, respectively. First
Federal was in compliance with the FHLB minimum investment requirement at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017. First Federal
may request redemption at par value of any stock in excess of the amount First Federal is required to hold. Stock redemptions are
granted at the discretion of the FHLB.
Management evaluates FHLB stock for impairment based on its assessment of the ultimate recoverability of cost rather than by
recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of cost is
influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of any decline in net assets of the FHLB compared with the capital stock amount for
the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or
regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, (3) the impact of legislative and
regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, the customer base of the FHLB, and (4) the liquidity position of the FHLB. Based
on its evaluation, First Federal did not recognize an OTTI loss on its FHLB stock at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017.
Loans held for sale - Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate
cost or fair value. Fair value is determined based upon market prices from third-party purchasers and brokers. Net unrealized losses, if
any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to earnings. Gains or losses on the sale of loans are recognized at the
time of sale and determined by the difference between net sale proceeds and the net book value of the loan less the estimated fair value
of any retained mortgage servicing rights.
Loans receivable - Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, net of charge-offs, unearned income, allowance for loan loss
(ALLL) and any deferred fees or costs. Interest on loans is calculated using the simple interest method based on the month end
balance of the principal amount outstanding and is credited to income as earned. The estimated life is adjusted for prepayments.
Each loan segment and class inherently contains differing credit risk profiles depending on the unique aspects of that segment or class
of loans. For example, borrowers tend to consider their primary residence and access to transportation for employment-related
purposes as basic requirements; accordingly, many consumers prioritize making payments on real estate first-mortgage loans and
vehicle loans. Conversely, second-mortgage real estate loans or unsecured loans may not be supported by sufficient collateral; thus, in
the event of financial hardship, borrowers may tend to place less importance on maintaining these loans as current and the Bank may
not have adequate collateral to provide a secondary source of repayment in the event of default. Notwithstanding the various risk
profiles unique to each class of loan, management believes that the credit risk for all loans is similarly dependent on essentially the
same factors, including the financial strength of the borrower, the cash flow available to service maturing debt obligations, the
condition and value of underlying collateral, the financial strength of any guarantors, and other factors.
Loans are classified as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that First Federal will be unable to
collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due, in accordance with the terms of the original loan agreement. The
carrying value of impaired loans is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at each loan’s effective interest
rate or, for collateral dependent loans, at fair value of the collateral, less selling costs. If the measurement of each impaired loan’s
value is less than the recorded investment in the loan, First Federal recognizes this impairment and adjusts the carrying value of the
loan to fair value through the allowance for loan losses. This can be accomplished by charging off the impaired portion of the loan or
establishing a specific component to be provided for in the allowance for loan losses.
The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent, unless the credit is well secured and in
process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is
considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The
interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash basis or cost recovery method until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are
returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are
reasonably assured. For those loans placed on non-accrual status due to payment delinquency, return to accrual status will generally
not occur until the borrower demonstrates repayment ability over a period of not less than six months.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Loan fees - Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to the yield of the
loan over the contractual life using the effective interest method. In the event a loan is sold, the remaining deferred loan origination
fees and/or costs are recognized as a component of gains or losses on the sale of loans.
Allowance for loan losses - First Federal maintains a general allowance for loan losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks
in the loan portfolio, including management’s continuing analysis of the factors underlying the quality of the loan portfolio. These
factors include changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, and current and anticipated
economic conditions. The reserve is an estimate based upon factors and trends identified by management at the time the financial
statements are prepared.
The ultimate recovery of loans is susceptible to future market factors beyond First Federal’s control, which may result in losses or
recoveries differing significantly from those provided in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, various regulatory
agencies, as an integral part of their examination processes, periodically review First Federal’s allowance for loan losses. Such
agencies may require First Federal to recognize additional provisions for loan losses based on their judgment using information
available to them at the time of their examination.
Allowances for losses on specific problem loans are charged to income when it is determined that the value of these loans and
properties, in the judgment of management, is impaired. First Federal accounts for impaired loans in accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification (ASC) 310-10-35, Receivables—Overall—Subsequent Measurement. A loan is considered impaired when,
based on current information and events, it is probable that First Federal will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement.
When a loan has been identified as being impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured by using discounted cash flows, except
when it is determined that the sole source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of the underlying collateral. In such
cases, impairment is measured at current fair value generally based on a current appraisal of the collateral, reduced by estimated
selling costs. When the measurement of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (including collected interest
that has been applied to principal, net deferred loan fees or costs, and unamortized premiums or discounts), loan impairment is
recognized by establishing or adjusting an allocation of the allowance for loan losses. Uncollected accrued interest is reversed against
interest income. If ultimate collection of principal is in doubt, all cash receipts on impaired loans are applied to reduce the principal
balance. The impairment amount for small balance homogeneous loans is calculated using the adjusted historical loss rate for the class
and risk category related to each loan, unless the loan is subject to a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR").
A TDR is a loan for which First Federal, for reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower
that First Federal would not otherwise consider. The loan terms that have been modified or restructured due to the borrower’s financial
difficulty include, but are not limited to, a reduction in the stated interest rate; an extension of the maturity; an interest rate below
market; a reduction in the face amount of the debt; a reduction in the accrued interest; or extension, deferral, renewal, or rewrite of the
original loan terms.
The restructured loans may be classified “special mention” or “substandard” depending on the severity of the modification. Loans that
were paid current at the time of modification may be upgraded in their classification after a sustained period of repayment
performance, usually six months or longer, and there is reasonable assurance that repayment will continue. Loans that are past due at
the time of modification are classified “substandard” and placed on nonaccrual status.
TDR loans may be upgraded in their classification and placed on accrual status once there is a sustained period of repayment
performance, usually six months or longer, and there is a reasonable assurance that repayment will continue. First Federal allows
reclassification of a troubled debt restructuring back into the general loan pool (as a non-troubled debt restructuring) if the borrower is
able to refinance the loan at then-current market rates and meet all of the underwriting criteria of First Federal required of other
borrowers. The refinance must be based on the borrower’s ability to repay the debt and no special concessions of rate and/or term are
granted to the borrower.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Reserve for unfunded commitments - Management maintains a reserve for unfunded commitments to absorb probable losses
associated with off-balance sheet commitments to lend funds such as unused lines of credit and the undisbursed portion of
construction loans. Management determines the adequacy of the reserve based on reviews of individual exposures, current economic
conditions, and other relevant factors. The reserve is based on estimates and ultimate losses may vary from the current estimates. The
reserve is evaluated on a regular basis and necessary adjustments are reported in earnings during the period in which they become
known. The reserve for unfunded commitments is included in "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" on the consolidated balance
sheets.
Real estate owned and repossessed assets - Real estate owned and repossessed assets include real estate and personal property
acquired through foreclosure or repossession, and may include in-substance foreclosed properties. In-substance foreclosed properties
are those properties for which the Bank has taken physical possession, regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings have
taken place.
Mortgage servicing rights - Originated servicing rights are recorded when mortgage loans are originated and subsequently sold with
the servicing rights retained. Servicing assets are initially recognized at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in gains
on sales of loans and amortized into non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing
income of the underlying financial asset. To determine the fair value of servicing rights, management uses a valuation model that
calculates the present value of future cash flows. Assumptions used in the valuation model include market discount rates and
anticipated prepayment speeds. In addition, estimates of the cost of servicing per loan, an inflation rate, ancillary income per loan, and
default rates are used. The initial fair value relating to the servicing rights is capitalized and amortized into noninterest income in
proportion to, and over the period of, estimated future net servicing income.
Management assesses impairment of the mortgage servicing rights based on recalculations of the present value of remaining future
cash flows using updated market discount rates and prepayment speeds. Subsequent loan prepayments and changes in prepayment
assumptions in excess of those forecasted can adversely impact the carrying value of the servicing rights. Impairment is assessed on a
stratified basis with any impairment recognized through a valuation allowance for each impaired stratum. The servicing rights are
stratified based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans: fixed-rate loans and adjustable-rate loans. The effect of
changes in market interest rates on estimated rates of loan prepayments is the predominant risk characteristic for mortgage servicing
rights. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income,
such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds, and
default rates and losses.
Mortgage servicing income represents fees earned for servicing loans. Fees for servicing mortgage loans are generally based upon a
percentage of the principal balance of the loans serviced, as well as related ancillary income such as late charges. Servicing income is
recognized as earned, unless collection is doubtful. The caption in the consolidated statement of income “Mortgage servicing fees,
net” includes mortgage servicing income, amortization of mortgage servicing rights, the effects of mortgage servicing run-off, and
impairment, if applicable.
Income taxes - First Federal accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, which
requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
their future tax consequences, attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply
to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Premises and equipment - Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized and
computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:
Buildings
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment
Software
Automobiles

37.5 - 50 years

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Transfers of financial assets - Transfers of an entire financial asset, a group of financial assets, or a participating interest in an entire
financial asset are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed
to be surrendered when: (1) the assets have been isolated from First Federal, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that
constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) First Federal does not maintain
effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. The mortgage loans that
are sold with recourse provisions are accounted for as sales until such time as the loan defaults.
Periodically, First Federal sells mortgage loans with “life of the loan” recourse provisions, requiring First Federal to repurchase the
loan at any time if it defaults. The remaining balance of such loans at December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, was
approximately $5.6 million, $6.5 million and $7.2 million, respectively. Of these loans, no loans were repurchased during the six
months ended December 31, 2017. One loan was repurchased in the amount of $100,000 during the year ended June 30, 2017, and
two loans were repurchased in the amount of $151,000 during the year ended June 30, 2016. There is an associated allowance of
$25,000, $33,000 and $57,000 at December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively, included in “accrued expenses
and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets related to these loans.
Bank-owned life insurance - The carrying amount of life insurance approximates fair value. Fair value of life insurance is estimated
using the cash surrender value, less applicable surrender charges. The change in cash surrender value is included in noninterest
income. An additional $10.0 million of life insurance was purchased in August 2016.
Off-balance-sheet credit-related financial instruments - In the ordinary course of business, First Federal has entered into
commitments to extend credit, including commitments under lines of credit, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit.
Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Advertising costs - First Federal expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.
Comprehensive income (loss) - Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, and gains and losses be
included in net income (loss). Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-
sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets, such items, along with
net income (loss), are components of comprehensive income (loss).
Fair value measurements - Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other
assumptions (Note 14). Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit
risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in
market conditions could significantly affect these estimates.
Segment information - First Federal is engaged in the business of attracting deposits and providing lending services. Substantially all
income is derived from a diverse base of commercial, mortgage, and consumer lending activities and investments. The Company’s
activities are considered to be a single industry segment for financial reporting purposes.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan - The cost of shares issued to the ESOP but not yet allocated to participants is shown as a reduction
of shareholders' equity. Compensation expense is based on the market price of shares as they are committed to be released to
participants' accounts. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares reduce retained earnings while dividends on unearned ESOP shares reduce
debt and accrued interest.
Earnings (loss) per Share - Basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income or (loss), reduced by earnings
allocated to participating shares of restricted stock, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
As ESOP shares are committed to be released they become outstanding for EPS calculation purposes. ESOP shares not committed to
be released are not considered outstanding for basic or diluted EPS calculations. The basic EPS calculation excludes the dilutive effect
of all common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings per share reflects the weighted-average potential dilution that could occur if all
111
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
potentially dilutive securities or other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock using the
treasury stock method.
According to the provisions of ASC 260, Earnings per Share, nonvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable
rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and are included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-
class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common
stock and participating security according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. At
this time the Company has no share-based payment awards nor paid a dividend.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements - In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which defers the effective
date of ASU No. 2014-09 one year. ASU No. 2014-09 created Topic 606 and supersedes Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. The core
principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an
amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In general, the
new guidance requires companies to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance, including identifying
performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and
allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU No. 2015-14 is effective for public entities for interim
and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017; early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2016. For financial reporting purposes, the standard allows for either full retrospective adoption, meaning the standard
is applied to all of the periods presented, or modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current
period presented in the financial statements with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of
initial application. A significant amount of the Company’s revenues are derived from net interest income on financial assets and
liabilities, which are excluded from the scope of the amended guidance. The Company did not identify any significant changes in the
timing of revenue recognition when considering the amended accounting guidance. Based on our assessment of revenue streams, the
Company believes ASU 2015-14 will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The accounting
guidance will be adopted for the quarter ending March 31, 2018.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities. The main provisions of this ASU address the valuation and impairment of equity securities along with
enhanced disclosures about those investments. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values will be treated in the same
manner as other financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim
periods within those fiscal years. The Company did not have any equity securities included in the investment portfolio at December
31, 2017, that would fall within the scope of ASU 2016-01. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 for the quarter ending March 31,
2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 is intended to increase transparency and comparability
among organizations by requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosure of key
information about leasing arrangements. The principal change required by this ASU relates to lessee accounting, and is that for
operating leases, a lessee is required to (1) recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of
the lease payments, in the statement of financial position, (2) recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is
allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis, and (3) classify all cash payments within operating activities in the
statement of cash flows. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by
class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease
expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ASU 2016-02 also changes disclosure requirements
related to leasing activities, and requires certain qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures. The amendments
in ASU 2016-02 are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018.
Early application of the amendments in ASU 2016-02 is permitted. The Company is compiling an inventory of all leased assets to
determine the impact of ASU 2016-02 on its financial condition and results of operations. Once adopted, we expect to report higher
assets and liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as a result of including right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to
certain banking offices and certain equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements, which currently are not reflected in
112
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not expect the guidance to have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income
or Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Loss, which updates the guidance on recognition and
measurement of credit losses for financial assets. The new requirements, known as the current expected credit loss model (CECL) will
require entities to adopt an impairment model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon adoption, the Company will
change processes and procedures to calculate the allowance for loan losses, including changes in assumptions and estimates to
consider expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. In
addition, the current accounting policy and procedures for other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities available for sale
will be replaced with an allowance approach. At this time, we do not anticipate an increase to the ALLL as a result of the
implementation of this ASU based on the preliminary review and testing of different models being evaluated. The Company has
formed an internal project management team which will coordinate and monitor implementation progress, work with our third-party
vendor, and implement changes to processes and procedures to ensure the Company is fully compliant with the amendments at the
adoption date.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts
and Cash Payments. The ASU provides specific guidance on eight classification issues in order to achieve more consistent reporting.
The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after
December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 as of January 1, 2018 and believes the adoption
will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium
Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The ASU shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities
held at a premium using the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount;
the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods
within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-08 did
not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.
This ASU provides clarity on the guidance related to stock compensation when there have been changes to the terms or conditions of a
share-based payment award to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. The ASU provides
the three following criteria must be met in order to not account for the effect of the modification of terms or conditions: the fair value,
the vesting conditions and the classification as an equity or liability instrument of the modified award is the same as the original award
immediately before the original award is modified. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods
within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 for
the quarter ending March 31, 2018. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
In August 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), This ASU was issued to provide investors
better insight to an entity’s risk management hedging strategies by permitting companies to recognize the economic results of its
hedging strategies in its financial statements. The amendments in this ASU permit hedge accounting for hedging relationships
involving nonfinancial risk and interest rate risk by removing certain limitations in cash flow and fair value hedging relationships. In
addition, the ASU requires an entity to present the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item in
which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and
early adoption is permitted. Adoption of ASU 2017-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
In February 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). This ASU was
issued to allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings from stranded tax effects
resulting from the revaluation of the DTA to the new corporate tax rate of 21% as a result of the Tax Act. The ASU is effective for
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU
2018-02 effective for the six months ended December 31, 2017, and applied the provisions retrospectively within its consolidated
113
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
balance sheets and statements of shareholders' equity. This adoption resulted in a one-time reclassification of the effect of remeasuring
deferred tax liabilities related to items, primarily unrealized gains and losses on investments, within accumulated other comprehensive
income ("AOCI") to retained earnings resulting from the change in the U.S. corporate income tax rate. This reclassification resulted in
a decrease to AOCI and an increase to retained earnings in the amount of $272,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2017, with
no net impact to total stockholders' equity.
Reclassifications - Certain amounts in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified
to conform to the current audited financial statement presentation with no effect on net income or shareholders' equity.

The Company may hold certain investment securities in an unrealized loss position that are not considered OTTI. At December 31,
2017, there were 63 investment securities with $3.2 million of unrealized losses and a fair value of approximately $233.2 million. At
June 30, 2017, there were 42 investment securities with $1.8 million of unrealized losses and a fair value of approximately $164.9
million. At June 30, 2016, there were 15 investment securities with $1.3 million of unrealized losses and a fair value of approximately
$65.6 million.
Management believes that the unrealized losses on investment securities relate principally to the general change in interest rates and
illiquidity, and not credit quality, that has occurred since the initial purchase, and such unrecognized losses or gains will continue to
vary with general interest rate level fluctuations in the future. Certain investments in a loss position are guaranteed by government
entities or government sponsored entities. The Company does not intend to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position and
believes it is not likely it will be required to sell these investments prior to a market price recovery or maturity.
There were no OTTI losses during the six months ended December 31, 2017, and years ended June 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities by contractual maturity are shown in the following tables at the
dates indicated. Expected maturities of mortgage-backed securities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may
have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties; therefore, these securities are shown
separately.

A loan is considered impaired when First Federal has determined that it may be unable to collect payments of principal or interest
when due under the contractual terms of the loan. In the process of identifying loans as impaired, management takes into consideration
factors that include payment history and status, collateral value, financial condition of the borrower, and the probability of collecting
scheduled payments in the future. Minor payment delays and insignificant payment shortfalls typically do not result in a loan being
classified as impaired. The significance of payment delays and shortfalls is considered by management on a case-by-case basis after
taking into consideration the totality of circumstances surrounding the loans and the borrowers, including payment history and
amounts of any payment shortfall, length and reason for delay, and likelihood of return to stable performance. Impairment is measured
on a loan-by-loan basis for all loans in the portfolio except smaller balance homogeneous loans and certain qualifying TDR loans.

Credit quality indicator - Federal regulations provide for the classification of lower quality loans and other assets, such as debt and
equity securities, as substandard, doubtful, or loss; risk ratings 6, 7, and 8 in our 8-point risk rating system, respectively. An asset is
considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and pay capacity of the borrower or of any collateral
pledged. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that First Federal will sustain some loss if the
deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the
added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, on the
131
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values. Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little
value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.
When First Federal classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish a specific allowance to address the risk
specifically or First Federal may allow the loss to be addressed in the general allowance. General allowances represent loss allowances
that have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities but that, unlike specific allowances, have
not been specifically allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as a loss, it is
required to charge off such assets in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Assets that do not currently expose First
Federal to sufficient risk to warrant classification as substandard or doubtful but possess identified weaknesses are designated as either
watch or special mention assets; risk ratings 4 and 5 in our risk rating system, respectively. At December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and
2016, First Federal had $6.7 million, $3.3 million, and $4.6 million, respectively, of loans classified as substandard and no loans

Troubled debt restructuring - A TDR is a loan to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty that has been modified from its
original terms and conditions in such a way that First Federal is granting the borrower a concession of some kind. First Federal has
granted a variety of concessions to borrowers in the form of loan modifications. The modifications are generally related to the loan's
interest rate, term and payment amount or a combination thereof.
Upon identifying a receivable as a troubled debt restructuring, First Federal classifies the loan as impaired for purposes of determining
the allowance for loan losses. This requires the loan to be evaluated individually for impairment, generally based on the expected cash
flows under the new terms discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rates. For TDR loans that subsequently default, the
method of determining impairment is generally the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs.
The following is a summary of information pertaining to TDR loans included in impaired loans at the dates indicated:

TDR loans may be upgraded in their classification and placed on accrual status once there is a sustained period of repayment
performance, usually six months or longer, and there is a reasonable assurance that repayment will continue. First Federal allows
reclassification of a troubled debt restructuring back into the general loan pool (as a non-troubled debt restructuring) if the borrower is
able to refinance the loan at then-current market rates and meet all of the underwriting criteria of First Federal required of other

granted to the borrower.

As a result of the bad debt deductions taken in years prior to 1988, retained earnings include accumulated earnings of approximately
$6.4 million, on which federal income taxes have not been provided. If, in the future, this portion of retained earnings is used for any
purpose other than to absorb losses on loans or on property acquired through foreclosure, federal income taxes may be imposed at the
then-prevailing corporate tax rates. The Company does not contemplate that such amounts will be used for any purpose that would
create a federal income tax liability; therefore, no provision has been made.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in
the period that includes the enactment date. These calculations are based on many complex factors including estimates of the timing of
reversals of temporary differences, the interpretation of federal income tax laws, and a determination of the differences between the
tax and the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and
interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company contributed $400,000 in cash and $9.3 million in common stock to the Foundation.
Under current Federal income tax regulations, charitable contribution deductions are limited to 10% of taxable income. Accordingly,
the $9.7 million contribution created a carryforward for income tax purposes with a deferred tax asset of $3.3 million and related
valuation allowance of $1.9 million for financial statement reporting purposes. At December 31, 2017, the balance of the contribution
144
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
carryforward totaled $7.8 million. The contribution carryforward will expire in 2019. A valuation allowance is provided when it is
more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates whether its
deferred tax assets will be realized and adjusts the amount of its valuation allowance, if necessary. There was a valuation allowance of
$1.2 million and $1.9 million, at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively, the reduction of which predominantly relates to
the change in corporate tax rate.
The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC 740 that require the application of a more-likely-than-not recognition criterion for
the reporting of uncertain tax positions on its financial statements. The Company had no unrecognized tax assets at December 31,
2017 and June 30, 2017. During the six months ended December 31, 2017 and year ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized no
interest and penalties. The Company recognizes interest and penalties in income tax expense. The Company files income tax returns in
the U.S. federal jurisdiction and is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ending before
June 30, 2014.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Government enacted the Tax Act. The Tax Act amends the Internal Revenue Code to reduce tax rates
and modify policies, credits, and deductions for individuals and businesses. For businesses, the Tax Act reduces the corporate federal
tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% rate. The corporate tax rate reduction was effective January 1, 2018. The Tax Act
required a revaluation the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities to account for the future impact of lower corporate tax rates
and other provisions of the legislation. As a result of the Company’s revaluation, the net deferred tax asset was reduced through an
increase to the provision for income taxes. The Company has also elected to change its tax year end from June 30 to December 31
beginning with the six months ended December 31, 2017. As a result of changing the tax year, the Company recorded an increase to
the deferred tax asset valuation allowance to account for the loss of six months of taxable income.

Note 10 - Benefit Plans
Multi-employer Pension Plan
The Bank participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (the Pentegra DB Plan), a tax-qualified defined-
benefit pension plan that covered substantially all employees after one year of continuous employment. Pension benefits vested over a
period of five years of credited service. The Pentegra DB Plan’s Employer Identification Number is 13-5645888 and the Plan Number
is 12004. The Pentegra DB Plan operates as a multi-employer plan for accounting purposes and as a multiple-employer plan under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code. There are no collective bargaining agreements in
place that require contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan. The Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan was frozen and no new benefits were
allowed as of February 1, 2010.
The Pentegra DB Plan is a single plan under Internal Revenue Code Section 413(c) and, as a result, all of the assets stand behind all of
the liabilities. Accordingly, under the Pentegra DB Plan, contributions made by a participating employer may be used to provide
benefits to participants of other participating employers.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan
First Federal also sponsors a nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan for members of the board of directors and eligible officer-level
employees. This plan, approved by the Board on February 1, 2012, allows eligible participants to defer and invest a portion of their
earnings in a selection of investment options identified in the plan at no expense to First Federal. All deferrals are remitted to Pentegra,
the Plan Administrator, and held in a trust. The aggregate balance held in trust at December 31, 2017, was $566,000.
The Company also has agreements with certain key officers that provide for potential payments upon retirement, disability,
termination, change in control and death.
401(k) Plan
During the year ended June 30, 1994, First Federal began participation in a multi-employer 401(k) plan funded by employees and a
Bank matching program. In December 2012, the Plan converted to a single-employer 401(k) plan. Beginning July 1, 2015, employees
may contribute up to 100% of their pre-tax compensation to the 401(k) plan, an increase from the 20% limitation in prior plan years.
First Federal provides matching funds of 50% limited to the first 6% of salary contributed. First Federal's contributions were
$110,000, $177,000, $159,000, and $163,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2017, and years ended June 30, 2017, 2016,
and 2015, respectively.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
In connection with the mutual to stock conversion, the Company established an ESOP for eligible employees of the Company and the
Bank. Employees of the Company who have been credited with at least 1,000 hours of service during a 12-month period are eligible to
participate in the ESOP.
Pursuant to the Plan, the ESOP purchased in the open market 8% of the common stock originally issued in the mutual to stock
conversion. As of December 31, 2017, 1,048,029 shares, or 100% of the total, have been purchased in the open market at an average
price of $12.45 per share with funds borrowed from First Northwest. The Bank will make contributions to the ESOP in amounts
necessary to amortize the ESOP loan payable to First Northwest over a period of 20 years, bearing estimated interest at 2.46%.
147
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Shares purchased by the ESOP with the loan proceeds are held in a suspense account and allocated to ESOP participants on a pro rata
basis as principal and interest payments are made by the ESOP to the Company. The loan is secured by shares purchased with the loan
proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Bank's discretionary contributions to the ESOP and earnings on the
ESOP assets. Annual principal and interest payments of $835,000, $810,000, and $274,000, were made by the ESOP during the years
ended June 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. No payment was made during the six months ended December 31, 2017.
As shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the average daily market
prices of the shares and the shares become outstanding for EPS computations. The compensation expense is accrued monthly
throughout the year. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares will be recorded as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on
unallocated ESOP shares will be recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued interest.
Compensation expense related to the ESOP for the six months ended December 31, 2017, and years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and
2015, was $436,000, $763,000, and $677,000 and $216,000, respectively.

Stock-based Compensation
On November 16, 2015, the Company's shareholders approved the First Northwest Bancorp 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the "EIP"),
which provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units to
eligible participants. The cost of awards under the EIP generally is based on the fair value of the awards on their grant date. The
maximum number of shares that may be utilized for awards under the EIP is 1,834,050. Under the EIP stock options may be granted
that, upon exercise, result in the issuance of up to 1,310,036 shares of common stock and up to 524,014 shares of restricted stock may
be awarded. Shares of common stock issued under the EIP may be authorized but unissued shares or repurchased shares. During the
year ended June 30, 2017, the Company purchased and retired 523,014 shares of common stock to be used for future stock awards.
During the six months ended December 31, 2017, 50,000 shares of restricted stock were awarded and no stock options were granted.
There were 402,500 shares of restricted stock awarded during year ended June 30, 2017, and no stock options were granted. There
were no awards or related expenses during the year ended June 30, 2016. Awarded shares of restricted stock vest over five years from
the date of grant as long as the eligible participant remains in service to the Company. The Company recognizes compensation
expense for the restricted stock awards based on the fair value of the shares at the award date.
For the six months ended December 31, 2017, and year ended June 30, 2017, total compensation expense for the EIP was $589,000
and $977,000, respectively.
Included in the above compensation expense for the six months ended December 31, 2017, and year ended June 30, 2017, was
directors' compensation of $174,000 and $383,000, respectively.

Note 11 - Regulatory Capital Requirements
Under Federal regulations, pre-conversion retained earnings are restricted for the protection of pre-conversion depositors.
The Company is a bank holding company under the supervision of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Bank holding
companies are subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956,
as amended, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. The Bank is a federally insured institution and thereby is subject to the
capital requirements established by the FDIC. The Federal Reserve Board capital requirements generally parallel the FDIC
requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary
actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that
involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory
149
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios
(set forth in the table that follows) of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations) and of Tier 1 capital
to average assets.
Effective January 1, 2015 (with some changes transitioned into full effectiveness over two to four years), First Northwest Bancorp and
First Federal became subject to capital requirements which created a required ratio for common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital,
increased the leverage and Tier 1 capital ratios, changed the risk-weightings of certain assets for purposes of the risk-based capital
ratios, created an additional capital conservation buffer over the required capital ratios and changed what qualifies as capital for
purposes of meeting these various capital requirements. First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal are required to maintain additional
levels of Tier 1 common equity over the minimum risk-based capital levels to avoid limitations on dividends, repurchase shares and
paying discretionary bonuses.
The minimum requirements are a ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital ("CET1 capital") to total risk-weighted assets the (“CET1 risk-
based ratio”) of 4.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%, a total capital ratio of 8.0%, and a leverage ratio of 4.0%.
In addition to the capital requirements, there were a number of changes in what constitutes regulatory capital, subject to a certain
transition period. These changes include the phasing-out of certain instruments as qualifying capital. The Bank does not have any of
these instruments. Mortgage servicing and deferred tax assets over designated percentages of CET1 are deducted from capital, subject
to a transition period ending December 31, 2017. CET1 consists of Tier 1 capital less all capital components that are not considered
common equity. In addition, Tier 1 capital includes accumulated other comprehensive income, which includes all unrealized gains and
losses on available for sale debt and equity securities, subject to a transition period ending December 31, 2017. Because of the Bank’s
asset size, the Bank is not considered an advanced approaches banking organization and has elected to permanently opt-out of the
inclusion of unrealized gains and losses on available for sale debt and equity securities in its capital calculations.
The requirements also include changes in the risk-weighting of assets to better reflect credit risk and other risk exposure. These
include a 150% risk weight (up from 100%) for certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and
construction loans and for non-residential mortgage loans that are 90 days past due or otherwise in nonaccrual status; a 20% (up from
0%) credit conversion factor for the unused portion of a commitment with an original maturity of one year or less that is not
unconditionally cancellable; and a 250% risk weight (up from 100%) for mortgage servicing and deferred tax assets that are not
deducted from capital.
In order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses based on
percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions, First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal must
maintain CET1 capital at an amount greater than the required minimum levels plus a capital conservation buffer. This new capital
conservation buffer requirement was phased in starting in January 2016 requiring a buffer of 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will
increase each year until fully implemented to an amount of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets in January 2019. As of December 31, 2017,
the conservation buffer was1.25%.
Under the new standards, in order to be considered well-capitalized, the Bank must maintain a CET1 risk-based ratio of 6.5% (new), a
Tier 1 risk-based ratio of 8% (increased from 6%), a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% (unchanged) and a leverage ratio of 5%
(unchanged).
As of December 31, 2017, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized First Federal as “well capitalized” under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized,” the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based,
CET1 risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events
since that notification that management believes have changed First Federal’s category.
At periodic intervals, banking regulators routinely examine First Northwest and First Federal as part of their legally prescribed
oversight of the banking industry. A future examination could include a review of certain transactions or other amounts reported in the
150
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Company's consolidated financial statements. Based on these examinations, the regulators can direct that the Company's consolidated
financial statements be adjusted in accordance with their findings. In view of the uncertain regulatory environment in which First
Northwest and First Federal operate, the extent, if any, to which a forthcoming regulatory examination may ultimately result in
adjustments to the accompanying consolidated financial statements cannot presently be determined.
At December 31, 2017, First Northwest and First Federal each exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.

Deposits and certificates from related parties totaled $2.0 million, $1.9 million, and $1.4 million at December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017
and 2016, respectively.
Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies
First Federal is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing
needs of its customers. These financial instruments generally represent a commitment to extend credit in the form of loans. The
instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated
balance sheets.
First Federal’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments
to extend credit, is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. First Federal uses the same credit policies in
making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Management does not anticipate any material loss as a result of
these transactions.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established by the
contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since
many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. First Federal evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. First Federal did
not incur any significant losses on its commitments for the six months ended December 31, 2017, and years ended June 30, 2017 and
2016.
The following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk at:

Legal contingencies - Various legal claims may arise from time to time in the normal course of business, which, in the opinion of
management, have no current material effect on First Federal’s consolidated financial statements.
Significant group concentrations of credit risk - Concentration of credit risk is the risk associated with a lack of diversification,
such as having substantial loan concentrations in a specific type of loan within First Federal’s loan portfolio, thereby exposing First
Federal to greater risks resulting from adverse economic, political, regulatory, geographic, industrial, or credit developments. Loans to
one borrower are subject to the state banking regulations general limitation of 20 percent of First Federal’s equity, excluding
accumulated other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and 2016 First Federal’s most significant
concentration of credit risk was in loans secured by real estate. These loans totaled approximately $742.9 million, $697.5 million and
$600.0 million, or 94.5%, 95.0%, and 95.9%, of First Federal’s total loan portfolio at December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and 2016,
respectively. Real estate construction, including land acquisition and land development, commercial real estate, multi-family, home
equity, and one- to four-family residential loans are included in the total loans secured by real estate for purposes of this calculation.
After a period of decline the real estate market has begun to recover, which has helped stabilize nonperforming loans and the
allowance for loan losses.
At December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and 2016, First Federal’s most significant investment concentration of credit risk was with the
U.S. Government, its agencies, and Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs). First Federal’s exposure, which results from positions
in securities issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies, and securities guaranteed by GSEs, was $256.8 million, $238.7 million, and
153

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
$261.3 million or 73.9%, 83.8%, and 79.6%, of First Federal’s total investment portfolio (including FHLB stock) at December 31,
2017, June 30, 2017, and 2016, respectively.
Note 14 - Fair Value Accounting and Measurement
Fair value is the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the Company’s
principal market. The Company has established and documented its process for determining the fair values of its assets and liabilities,
where applicable. Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available, for identical or similar assets or liabilities. In the
absence of quoted market prices, management determines the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities using valuation models
or third-party pricing services, both of which rely on market-based parameters when available, such as interest rate yield curves,
option volatilities and credit spreads, or unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs may be based on management’s judgment,
assumptions, and estimates related to credit quality, liquidity, interest rates, and other relevant inputs.
Any changes to valuation methodologies are reviewed by management to ensure they are relevant and justified. Valuation
methodologies are refined as more market-based data becomes available.
A three-level valuation hierarchy is used in determining fair value that is based on the transparency of the inputs used in the valuation
process. The inputs used in determining fair value in each of the three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Either: (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; (ii) observable inputs, such as interest rates or yield curves; or
(iii) inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs.
The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to Level 1 inputs and the lowest ranking to Level 3 inputs. The level in the fair value hierarchy
within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the
overall fair value measurement.
Qualitative disclosures of valuation techniques - Securities available for sale: where quoted prices are available in an active market,
securities are classified as Level 1. Level 1 instruments include highly liquid government bonds, securities issued by the U.S.
Treasury, and exchange-traded equity securities.
If quoted prices are not available, management determines fair value using pricing models, quoted prices of similar securities, which
are considered Level 2, or discounted cash flows. In certain cases, where there is limited activity in the market for a particular
instrument, assumptions must be made to determine their fair value. Such instruments are classified as Level 3.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis - Assets are considered to be fair valued on a nonrecurring basis if the fair
value measurement of the instrument does not necessarily result in a change in the amount recorded on the consolidated balance
sheets. Generally, nonrecurring valuation is the result of the application of other accounting pronouncements that require assets or
liabilities to be assessed for impairment or recorded at the lower of cost or fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities other than investment securities are not traded in active markets. Estimated fair values require
subjective judgments and are approximate. The estimates of fair value in the previous table are not necessarily representative of
amounts that could be realized in actual market transactions, or of the underlying value of the Company. Fair value estimates,
methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company's financial instruments:
158
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial instruments with book value equal to fair value - The fair value of financial instruments that are short-term or reprice
frequently and that have little or no risk are considered to have a fair value equal to book value. These instruments include cash
and due from banks, interest bearing deposits with banks, loans held for sale, FHLB stock, accrued interest receivable, and accrued
interest payable. FHLB stock is not publicly traded, however, it may be redeemed on a dollar-for-dollar basis, for any amount the
Bank is not required to hold, subject to the FHLB's discretion. The fair value is therefore equal to the book value.
Securities - Fair values for investment securities are primarily measured using information from a third-party pricing service. The
pricing service uses evaluated pricing models based on market data. In the event that limited or less transparent information is
provided by the third-party pricing service, fair value is estimated using secondary pricing services or non-binding third-party
broker quotes.
Loans receivable, net - Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated
by type, including fixed and variable one- to four-family residential real estate, commercial, and consumer loans. There is an
accurate and reliable secondary market for one- to four-family residential mortgage production, and available market benchmarks
are used to establish discount factors for estimating fair value for these types of loans. Commercial and consumer loans use market
benchmarks when available; however, due to the varied term structures and credit issues involved, they mainly rely on cash flow
projections and repricing characteristics within the loan portfolio. These amounts are discounted further by embedded probable
losses expected to be realized in the portfolio.
Valuations of impaired loans, real estate owned and repossessed assets are periodically performed by management, and the fair
values of these loans are carried at the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to sell. Fair value of the
underlying collateral may be determined using an appraisal performed by a qualified independent appraiser.
Mortgage servicing rights - The estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on market prices for comparable
mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of
estimated future net servicing income.
Deposits - The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing deposits, savings and interest checking
accounts, and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand as of December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and
2016. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is
estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Borrowings - The fair value of FHLB advances and other borrowings are calculated using a discounted cash flow method,
adjusted for market interest rates and terms to maturity.
Off-balance-sheet financial instruments - Commitments to extend credit represent all off-balance-sheet financial instruments.
The fair value of these commitments is not significant.

Note 15 - Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or
other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock
that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Basic and diluted earnings per share are the same amount at December 31, 2017 as the
Company does not have any additional potential dilutive common shares.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the components used to compute basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the
periods shown.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
(i) Disclosure controls and procedures.
An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Section 13a-15(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company’s senior
management as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures in effect as of December 31,
2017 were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files
or submits under the Act was (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
(a) Management's report on internal control over financial reporting.
First Northwest Bancorp's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control
over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act. The Company's internal control system is designed
to provide reasonable assurance to our management and the board of directors regarding the preparation and fair
presentation of published financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
This process includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that
could have a material effect on the financial statements. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Also, because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Additionally,
in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating
the cost -benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls
and procedures is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be
no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. As a
result of these inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Furthermore, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
The Company's management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2017. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013
Framework). Based on that assessment, the Company's management believes that, as of December 31, 2017, First
Northwest Bancorp's internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
Moss Adams LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the Company's consolidated
financial statements and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017,
which is included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
(b) Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.
The “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form
10-K is incorporated herein by reference.
166
(c) Changes in Internal Controls.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended
December 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting.
