To our Shareholders -
After delivering record profitability in 2019, we are excited to continue our momentum into
2020 by enhancing our strategy and building toward our future. This includes developing and
deploying a comprehensive digital platform that positions us well to continue to meet the banking
needs of all the markets we serve. Over the past year, we have added to our excellent team of bankers
with highly qualified and talented professionals who share in our relationship banking approach. Our
team is poised to take advantage of opportunities that exist in all of our Western Washington markets. By
focusing on our customers’ needs and delivering banking services that make them more productive, we will
build on our strong foundation into 2020 and beyond.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The Company reported record profits of $9.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, representing
a 27% increase over 2018. Earnings per share increased to $0.92 for 2019 compared to $0.69 for the
previous year. This increase in earnings per share resulted from the combined impact of improved
earnings and execution on the share repurchase program that was initiated in 2016.
We continue to focus on expanding the balance sheet and improving the bottom line. During 2019,
deposits increased $61.4 million, or 7%, reaching $1.0 billion at year-end, with core deposits representing
69% of total deposits. Net loans increased $14.6 million, or 2%, compared to a year ago, and total assets
grew $48.6 million, or 4%, to $1.31 billion at December 31, 2019.
The performance of the branches in our expanded markets of Kitsap and Whatcom counties continue
to mature and contribute to our financial results. As of December 31, 2019, the combined deposits at our
Silverdale and Bainbridge Island branches in Kitsap County (which opened in 2014 and 2018, respectively)
exceeded $81 million; and our two branches in Whatcom County (opened in 2015 and 2016) exceeded $74
million in combined deposits.
Our capital position remains strong and is improving with each profitable quarter. We look forward
to growing our franchise and creating added value for our communities, customers, employees and
shareholders. To that end, we raised our quarterly cash dividend 25% to $0.05 per share in January 2020.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND DEVELOPMENT
We’ve had a great year and we are proud of our disciplined banking practices and the momentum we
are generating. One of the qualitative factors that sets us apart is our strong commitment to our local
communities. It’s a commitment that goes beyond offering the financial products, services and expertise
that have helped small and mid-size businesses grow. In 2019, the First Federal Community Foundation
invested $800,000 back into our communities, and our loyal employees volunteered over 2,716 hours
to local non-profit groups. Reinvesting in our communities empowers our neighborhoods, stimulates
economic and community development, and generates long-lasting customer loyalty.
As we head into 2020, we look forward to delivering another strong performance to benefit our
shareholders, customers, communities and employees. Our competitive stance and foundation for
profitable growth are all stronger today than a year ago, and we look forward to continuing to partner
with our customers to help them achieve their financial goals and objectives. We thank you for your
ongoing support and loyalty to First Northwest Bancorp. Due to concerns about containing the spread
of COVID-19, this year’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be a completely virtual meeting of
shareholders, which will be conducted solely online via live webcast. You will be able to attend the
Annual Meeting, participate, vote your shares electronically and submit your questions prior to and
during the meeting which will be held online on Tuesday, May 5, 2020, at 4:00 p.m. (Pacific Time).

IN DONATIONS
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, the First Federal Community
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 the sustained and meaningful impact
envisioned by First Northwest Bancorp when
it established the Foundation.
Dungeness River Audubon Center Tour
Since that time, the Foundation has awarded $3.6 Million in grants to recipients located in the communities
in which First Federal operates a full service branch in Washington, including Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap
and Whatcom counties. The Foundation’s awards target four key priorities: Community Support;
Affordable Housing; Economic Development; and
Community Development.
First Federal is proud of the Foundation and the
work it does and is proud to work side-by-side with
the Foundation to improve the communities in which
it operates. Although a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit
corporation, the Foundation’s board and officers
include members of First Federal’s board. Volunteers
from First Federal also serve on the Foundation’s
Advisory Committee. With encouragement from its
board, First Federal’s employees interact regularly with
the Foundation, promoting its benefits within their
communities and participating in Foundation events.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters in this Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Form 10-K"), including information included or
incorporated by reference, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our
plans, objectives, expectations and intentions that are not historical facts, and other statements often identified by
words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” or similar expressions.
These forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations of management and are
inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which
are beyond our control. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking
statements due to, among others, the following factors:
•
•
•
the risks associated with lending and potential adverse changes in the credit quality of loans in our
portfolio;
a decrease in the secondary market demand for loans that we originate for sale;
our ability to control operating costs and expenses;
• whether our management team can implement our operational strategy including but not limited to our
efforts to achieve loan growth;
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
our ability to successfully execute on merger and/or acquisition strategies and integrate any newly
acquired assets, liabilities, customers, systems, and management personnel into our operations and our
ability to realize related cost savings within expected time frames;
our ability to successfully execute on growth strategies related to our lending center and new branches;
the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain of our assets, which estimates may prove to be
incorrect and result in significant declines in valuation;
changes in the levels of general interest rates, and the relative differences between short and long-term
interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and funding sources;
increased competitive pressures among financial services companies;
our ability to attract and retain deposits;
changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits, resulting in reduced demand for banking
products and services;
results of examinations of us by the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions, Department
of Banks, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, or other
regulatory authorities, which could result in restrictions that may adversely affect our liquidity and
earnings;
legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business;
disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events, failures or interruptions in, or attacks on, our
information technology systems or on the third-party vendors who perform several of our critical
processing functions;
any failure of key third-party vendors to perform their obligations to us; and
other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical factors affecting our operations,
pricing, products and services and other risks described elsewhere in our filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including risks discussed under "Item 1.A. -- Risk Factors" in this Form 10-K.
Any forward-looking statements are based upon management’s beliefs and assumptions at the time they are
made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements included or
incorporated by reference in this document or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those
contained in such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these
risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking statements discussed in this report might not occur, and
you should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

PART I
Item 1. Business
General
First Northwest Bancorp ("First Northwest" or the "Company"), a Washington corporation formed on
August 14, 2012, is the bank holding company for First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles
("First Federal" or the "Bank").
At December 31, 2019, the Company had total assets of $1.3 billion, net loans of $878.4 million, total
deposits of $1.0 billion, and total shareholders' equity of $176.9 million. The Company's business activities have
generally been limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in First Federal. In 2019, the
Company also entered into a partnership to strategically invest up to $3.0 million into fintech-related
businesses. 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 (“FDIC”).
First Federal is required to have certain reserves set by the Federal Reserve and is a member of the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Des Moines (“FHLB”), which is one of the 11 regional banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System
(“FHLB System”).
First Federal is a community-oriented financial institution serving Western Washington with offices in
Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, King, and Whatcom counties. We have ten full-service branches and a lending center in
Seattle, WA.
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 automobile loans as well as home equity loans and lines
of credit. Over the last five years we have significantly increased the origination of commercial real estate, multi-
family real estate, and construction loans and more recently have increased our auto loan portfolio through our
indirect lending and auto loan purchase programs. 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,
and its telephone number is (360) 457-0461.
During 2017, the Company changed its fiscal year from a fiscal year ending on June 30 to a fiscal year
ending on December 31 of each year. As a result, certain information included in Item 1 of this Form 10-K is
reported for the six-month transition period from July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017, and information prior to that is
for fiscal years ended June 30.

Whatcom County has a population of approximately 225,685 and estimated median family income of
$59,285. The economic base of Whatcom County is largely supported by healthcare, education and crude oil
refinery industries. There is some niche manufacturing and a large variety of other small businesses that create a
well-rounded economy with a close proximity to the Canadian border bringing in shoppers seeking retail products
and services. The primary employers in Whatcom County include PeaceHealth Medical Center, Western Washington

Our business plan includes the intent to extend our operations beyond our current base to areas throughout
the Puget Sound Region. This region dominates the economy of the Pacific Northwest and is broadly defined as the
area surrounding the Puget Sound 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 2.2 million,
or 29.2% 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 center 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, and more recently, Amazon.com.
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, 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, 2019, one- to four-family residential
mortgage loans (excluding loans held for sale) totaled $306.0 million, or 34.6%, of our total loan portfolio, including
$23.2 million, or 7.6%, of loans secured by properties outside the state of Washington, primarily purchased loan
pools 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 those 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 one to seven 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, 2019, the average interest rate on our
adjustable-rate mortgage loans was approximately 17.0% under the fully indexed rate. As of December 31, 2019, we
had $112.1 million, or 12.7%, 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-based appraisers.
In connection with rules and regulations issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB"),
we are required to make a reasonable, good-faith determination before or when we consummate a mortgage loan
that the borrower has a reasonable ability to repay the loan, and in some cases involving qualified mortgages we are
presumed to have complied with this requirement. We believe that generally all of our mortgage loans originated
meet these standards.
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, 2019, $255.7 million, or 28.9%,
and $96.1 million, or 10.9%, of our total loan portfolio was secured by commercial and multi-family real estate
property, respectively. At December 31, 2019, we have identified $43.6 million of our commercial real estate
portfolio as owner-occupied commercial real estate and $308.3 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 the state of Washington.
Commercial and multi-family real estate 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 these loans. 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 principals,
which include underwriting of their personal financial statements, tax returns, cash flows and individual credit
reports, that provide 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, 2019, we had $181.3 million in adjustable-rate commercial real
estate loans and $60.1 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 and have maturity dates of three to
ten 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, The Wall Street Journal prime rate, or a similar term FHLB borrowing rate.
During 2019, the Bank moved away from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") as a market index
in anticipation of its sunset in 2022 and in order to mitigate the transition of existing loans tied to LIBOR to a new
index, which has yet to be determined. 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 4.38% at December 31,
2019. Of all of the adjustable-rate commercial loans, 100.0% are subject to a ceiling rate, and the weighted average
ceiling rate on those loans was 14.75% at December 31, 2019.
The maximum loan to value ratio for commercial and multi-family real estate loans is typically limited to
75% of an appraiser opinion of market value. The minimum debt service coverage ratio is 1.25 for non-owner-
occupied and owner-occupied properties. We require independent appraisals or evaluations on all loans secured by
commercial or multi-family real estate from an approved appraisers list.
Once we make a loan, we monitor the relationship at least annually to assure the borrower continues to
meet certain loan requirements as set forth at origination, which may include an annual inspection of the property.
Commercial and multi-family real estate loans of $1.5 million or greater are subject to a formal credit review of the
entire lending relationship at least annually, which includes detailed financial and cash flow analysis, covenant
compliance and annual risk rating certification. While we cannot prevent loans from becoming delinquent, we
believe our monitoring and formal review processes 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 commercial or multi-family real estate loan, the marketing and liquidation period can
be a lengthy process with substantial holding costs. Vacancies, deferred maintenance, repairs and market factors can
result in losses during the time it takes to stabilize a property. Depending on the individual circumstances, initial
charge-offs and subsequent losses relating to multi-family and commercial loans can be substantial and
unpredictable.
The average outstanding loan in our commercial real estate portfolio, including multi-family loans, was
$1.2 million as of December 31, 2019. 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, including current loan balances and
unused commitments, at December 31, 2019 consisted of a $16.8 million relationship secured by multi-family real
estate and multi-family construction in King County, a $16.6 million relationship secured by multi-family real estate
in Pierce, King, and Thurston Counties, and a $14.3 million relationship secured by commercial real estate and
commercial construction in Clallam County.
Construction and Land Lending. Our construction and land loans decreased $16.9 million, or 31.2%, to
$37.2 million, or 4.2% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2019, compared to $54.1 million at December 31,
2018. At December 31, 2019, the undisbursed portion of construction loans in process totaled $46.8 million
compared to $57.0 million at December 31, 2018.
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 1.25 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, a 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. 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 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, and a review of compliance with state and Federal environmental protection and
disclosure laws, engineering plans, detailed cost breakdowns and marketing plans. Other risk management tools
include acquisition of title insurance and review of feasibility and market absorption reports. These loans have been
limited to projects within the state of Washington.

At December 31, 2019, the average construction commitment for single-family residential construction was
$549,000, for multi-family construction was $3.7 million and for commercial real estate construction was $1.4
million. The largest construction commitments for multi-family and commercial real estate were $9.4 million and
$6.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2019.
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.
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
demand for the property at completion, market conditions, the rates of interest paid, and other factors, actual results
are difficult to predict and variations from expectations can have a significant adverse effect on a borrower's ability
to repay loans and the value and marketability of the underlying collateral. In addition, 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
our construction lending by utilizing a licensed third-party vendor to assist us in monitoring our construction
projects, and during 2019, we began also utilizing internal staffing to monitor certain projects, which we expect will
enhance fee income related to these loans.

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,
2019, home equity loans and lines of credit totaled $35.0 million, or 4.0% of the loan portfolio. Our interest rates on
home equity loans are priced for risk based on credit score, loan to value and overall capacity of the applicant. Home
equity loans are made for 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, 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 monthly 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 up to a maximum of $750,000 if in first lien position. Home equity fixed and line of credit
products in second lien positions behind a First Federal mortgage have a maximum loan amount of $250,000. 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. We may or may not have private
mortgage insurance coverage.
We originate, refinance, or purchase auto loans with a maximum term of up to 144 months depending on
the age and condition of the vehicle and strength of the borrower. 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. At December 31, 2019, auto loans totaled $106.4 million, of which $70.5 million
were purchased and $32.3 million were originated through indirect dealer programs, as described below. Our
balance of auto loans grew by $66.7 million since December 31, 2018.
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
19
underwriting and pricing criteria. At December 31, 2019, there were 39 auto dealerships participating in our indirect
lending program. Indirect auto loan customers receive a fixed rate loan in an amount and at an interest rate that is
based on review of 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. Loans may be made up to the full sales price of the vehicle plus "Additional Vehicle Costs,"
such as sales tax, dealer preparation fees, license and title fees, service and warranty contracts, and "GAP" insurance
coverage obtained in connection with purchase of the vehicle. Accordingly, the amount financed by us may exceed
the manufacturer's suggested retail price of the financed vehicle, or in the case of used vehicles the vehicle's value as
assigned by the Kelly Blue Book, our primary reference source of used cars, and 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 on indirect auto loans averages 70 months, which is comparable to national
auto industry data.
We purchase auto loans through a partnership with a loan originator that operates in all 50 states,
underwriting and funding loans for classic (25 years or older) and collector (premium price with limited production)
vehicles. These loans range from $10,000 to over $250,000 with terms that range from 84 to 144 months and require
down payments of 10% to 20%. We receive loan pools each week with complete packages that we are able to
underwrite to determine whether to purchase or pass on all loans submitted. These loans present unique risks with
the collateral being located across the country; however, our loan originator helps mitigate risk of loss by facilitating
collection efforts should repossession become necessary, for which we would incur a cost. Historically, losses on
these types of loans is less than 1% and First Federal has incurred no losses since implementation of this program in
2018.
Because our primary focus for auto loans is on the credit quality of the customer rather than the value of the
collateral, the collectability of an 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 repayment.
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, which may limit the amount that can be recovered on these loans.
Commercial Business Lending. As of December 31, 2019, commercial business loans totaled $41.6
million, or 4.7% of our loan portfolio. Included in commercial business loans was $22.9 million in loans through the
Northpointe Bank Mortgage Participation Program ("Northpointe MPP"), which provides interim financing to
mortgage originators based on the contractual sale agreement of a mortgage loan. The Northpointe MPP interim loan
is funded upon receipt of a valid contractual sale agreement and repaid to us when the cash settlement for that loan
occurs and the mortgage originator has been paid, generally within 30 days. Management selects which mortgage
originators to finance based on a review of their business, loan pricing, and origination volumes. At our discretion,
we may add or remove mortgage originators from time to time. We also have limited our balance of loans made
through the Northpointe MPP to $25.0 million at December 31, 2019. The actual balance in the Northpointe MPP
can fluctuate significantly due to variances in the timing of funding and repayments, as well as the program's
dependence on the ability to maintain mortgage origination volumes, which has resulted in lower average balances.
Management increased the maximum balance of loans through Northpointe MPP from $25.0 to $35.0 million during
the first quarter of 2020.
The remaining balance of commercial business loans includes 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. These loans are typically secured by business assets, and loan terms vary from one to seven
years with floating rates indexed to similar FHLB advance rates, The Wall Street Journal prime rate, LIBOR or other
indices. These 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. Our commercial business lending
underwriting includes an analysis of the borrower’s financial condition, past, present and future cash flows, and the
collateral pledged as security. We generally obtain personal guarantees on our commercial business loans. We focus
20
our commercial lending activities on small-to-medium sized, privately-held companies with local or regional
businesses that operate in our market area.
Commercial business loans are originated based on the 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, collateral for
commercial business loans 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. Similar to commercial and
multi-family real estate loans, commercial business relationships of $1.5 million or greater are subject to a formal
review of the entire lending relationship at least annually.
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 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 and to the Senior Loan Committee ("SLC"). Overdrafts and small business express
loans require one signature. The Chief Credit Officer ("CCO") has the authority to approve overdrafts up to
$250,000, and certain other staff and management have authority to approve overdrafts ranging from $5,000 to
$50,000. Our small business express loans, which are commercial business loans of $100,000 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 loan underwriters have approval authority up to $667,000. The Consumer Credit Manager has
approval authority of $1.0 million, and the CCO has approval authority of $2.0 million. Mortgage loans over $2.0
million are approved by the SLC.
For commercial loans, the CCO has approval authority of $3.0 million, and other personnel have approval
authority ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000. Commercial loan relationships over $3.0 million are approved by
the SLC.
The Mortgage and Consumer Credit Manager has approval authority for consumer loans up to $500,000
and certain named individuals have authority ranging from $75,000 to $250,000. 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.
The SLC (on a monthly basis) and the Board Loan Committee ("BLC") (on a quarterly basis) review loan
portfolio quality, credit concentrations, production, and industry trends and provide directional oversight over our
lending policies. The BLC also reviews, on a quarterly basis, SLC approved loans (including loans to insiders),
policy exceptions, and related risk concerns. Additionally, all loan approval 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 $31.8 million at December 31, 2019.
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, 2019.

Loan Originations, Servicing, Purchases and Sales. We originate mortgage, consumer, multi-family and
commercial real estate, and commercial business loans for our portfolio utilizing fixed- and adjustable-rate loan
terms. We also purchase whole and participation loans on a servicing retained or released basis. During the years
ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the six month transition period ended December 31, 2017, our total
originations were $199.8 million, $253.4 million, and $174.4 million, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the six month transition period ended
December 31, 2017, we purchased $68.0 million, $70.4 million, and $43.9 million of loans, respectively. During the
last year, the majority of loan pool purchases consisted of auto loans purchased through our partnership with an
originator specializing in classic and collector vehicles. A secondary source of purchased loans were commercial
real estate loans and participations, whereby we receive a portion of a loan originated by another lender who retains
the servicing and customer relationship and may, depending on the terms of the agreement, retain a portion of the
interest as a servicing fee. Loan pools purchased prior to 2018 consisted mainly of loans exceeding conforming loan
limits, or "jumbo loans," secured by single family residential properties located in the states of Washington and
California. 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 Olympic Peninsula region, which includes a substantial concentration of our 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, it has been part of our strategy to originate and purchase loans outside of
these areas in the counties surrounding the Puget Sound and elsewhere. As part of that, 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. The majority of residential mortgages we
originate are fixed-rate, which we may sell to the secondary market to manage our interest rate risk and improve
noninterest income. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the six month transition period ended
December 31, 2017, we sold $58.0 million, $25.7 million, and $17.4 million of residential mortgage loans,
respectively. Our secondary market relationship for residential loans is with Freddie Mac and other select third-party
purchasers, which provides us greater flexibility in choosing the best pricing, whether we are selling on a servicing
retained or released basis.
At December 31, 2019, we were servicing $159.7 million of loans for others. We earned mortgage
servicing income of $424,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019, $454,000 for the year ended December 31,
2018, and $228,000 for the six month transition period ended December 31, 2017. Mortgage servicing rights for
these loans had a fair value of $1.5 million at December 31, 2019. See Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of this Form 10-K.
In general, loans are sold on a non-recourse basis to third-party purchasers, subject to a provision for
repurchase in the event of a breach of representation, warranty or covenant made at the time of sale. 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 $5.0 million at December 31, 2019. There
were no loans repurchased during the years ended December 31, 2019, December 31, 2018, or the six month
transition period ended December 31, 2017.
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. In that case, a participation agreement
outlines the indirect relationship between the Bank and the participant with regard to borrower access, loan
22
servicing, loan documentation, and other matters. The participant's involvement is typically limited, and the
participation interest is generally sold without recourse. We retain a greater than 50 percent ownership interest in the
loan and loan servicing rights in order to maintain our direct relationship with the borrower and better manage our
credit risk. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we sold $650,000 in commercial real estate construction loan
participations, and during the year ended December 31, 2018, we sold $3.9 million in commercial real estate loan
participations.
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 sale of residential and commercial real estate loans was $1.1
million, $577,000 and $499,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019, the year ended December 31, 2018, and the
six month transition period ended December 31, 2017, respectively.

Loan Origination and Other Fees. Loan origination fees paid by borrowers generally are based on 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 or sale.
We had $206,000, $292,000 and $724,000 of net deferred loan fees at December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017,
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 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. 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 based on 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.

For the year ended December 31, 2019 the year ended December 31, 2018 and the six month period ended
December 31, 2017, gross interest income which would have been recorded had the nonaccruing loans been current
in accordance with their original terms amounted to $301,000, $279,000 and $277,000, respectively. The amount
that was included in interest income on a cash basis on nonaccruing loans was $50,000, $99,000 and $12,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and the six month period ended December 31, 2017,
respectively.
Other Loans of Concern. In addition to nonperforming assets set forth in the table above, as of
December 31, 2019, there were 64 loans totaling $1.7 million that continue to accrue interest but for which
management has elevated concerns about the ability of these borrowers to comply with loan repayment terms. These
loans have been considered in management's determination of our allowance for loan losses.
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, 2019, we had one property in real estate owned with a book value of $62,000 and eleven autos in
repossessed personal property owned with a book value of $92,000. Real estate owned properties are generally listed
with a real estate broker, included in the multiple listing service, and actively marketed.
25
Restructured Loans. According to United States 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.
We engage in other general loan restructures and modifications not considered as TDR loans, which may
include lowering interest rates, extending the maturity date, deferring or re-amortizing monthly payments or other
concessions, provided that such concessions are not below market rates or considered material and outside of the
terms and conditions granted to other borrowers in the ordinary course of business. These general loan restructures
and modifications are made on a case-by-case basis.
Adversely classified loans which are subsequently modified and placed in nonaccrual status are generally
not returned to accrual status until a period of at least six months with consecutive satisfactory payment performance
has occurred, and a return to accrual status is further supported by current financial information and analysis which
demonstrates a particular borrower has the financial capacity to meet future debt service requirements.
As of December 31, 2019, we had loans with an aggregate principal balance of $3.5 million that were
identified as TDR loans, of which all but $81,000 were performing in accordance with their revised payment terms
and on accrual status. Included in the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2019 was a reserve of $41,000
related to TDR loans. Nonaccruing TDR loans are classified as substandard while 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. 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. Based on our review, as of December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, we had classified loans of $5.0
million, $3.4 million, and $6.7 million, respectively. We had no other classified assets at these dates. In addition, at
December 31, 2019 we had $5.1 million of special mention loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses was $9.6 million, or 1.1% of total loans, at
December 31, 2019, compared to $9.5 million, or 1.1%, at December 31, 2018. On a monthly basis, management
prepares a report of the allowance for loan losses and establishes the provision for credit losses based on its analysis
of 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.
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. We use 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 a 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, 2019, we had impaired loans of $6.4 million, compared to $6.6 million at
December 31, 2018.
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 adjust 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 valuation and analysis to determine the net value of
the collateral for loan loss reserve purposes. Our policy is to update these values every 12 months if 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 liquidation or
reinstatement. The impairment analysis takes into consideration the primary, secondary, and tertiary sources of
repayment and whether impairment is likely to be temporary in nature or liquidation is anticipated.
28
Management believes that our allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2019 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 evaluation of information available to
them at the time of their examination.

Investment Activities
General. Under Washington law, savings banks are permitted, subject to certain limitations, 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 $9.1 million, or 3.0%, to $315.6 million at December 31,
2019, from $306.5 million at December 31, 2018, mainly as a result of purchases partially offset by sales and
principal payments.
The issuers of mortgage-backed agency securities ("MBS") 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 FHLB, Fannie Mae, and the U.S. Small Business Administration,
guarantee the timely principal and interest payments in the event of default. Asset-backed security ("ABS") agency
bonds held in our portfolio include securities which are backed by student loans 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. 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 corporate debt securities. 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.
During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Bank marked all of its held to maturity investments as available for
sale in order to provide greater flexibility to manage changes in the investment portfolio. Management does not
intend to place securities into a held-to-maturity portfolio in the foreseeable future.
As a member of the FHLB, we had an average balance of $5.7 million in stock of the FHLB for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2019. We received $332,000, $311,000, and $81,000 in dividends from the FHLB
during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the six month transition period ended December 31, 2017,
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, 2019, there were 62 investment securities with $3.0
million of unrealized losses and a fair value of approximately $198.8 million. At December 31, 2018, there were 69
investment securities with $6.7 million of unrealized losses and a fair value of approximately $268.5 million. We
had no OTTI on investment securities at either December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.
Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds
General. Deposits, borrowings and loan and investment repayments and sales 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
other market conditions. Borrowings from the FHLB are used to supplement the availability of funds from other
sources and as a source of term funds to assist in the management of interest rate risk.
Our deposit composition consists of certificates of deposit, which account for 30.8% of total deposits at
December 31, 2019, and interest and noninterest-bearing checking, savings and money market accounts comprise
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. Included in
certificates of deposit at December 31, 2019 were $51.6 million of brokered certificates of deposit.
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 activity in our total deposit balance 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 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, 2019, 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, 2019 had pledged loan and security
collateral to support a borrowing capacity of $356.2 million. At that date outstanding advances from the FHLB
totaled $112.9 million leaving a remaining borrowing capacity of $243.2 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.

In December 2019, the Company entered into a limited partnership to strategically invest up to $3.0 million
into fintech-related businesses. The Company is dedicated to the discovery of, and investment in, those fintech-
related companies that we expect may also contribute to the evolution of digital solutions applicable to the banking
industry. This commitment will be ten years, with cash installments up to $3.0 million to be paid into the partnership
over a period not to exceed the first five years, beginning in 2020. As of December 31, 2019, no funds had been
contributed to this partnership.
Competition
We face competition in originating loans from other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions,
life insurance companies, mortgage bankers, private capital, and digital lenders. In general, the primary factors in
competing for loans are interest rates and rate adjustment provisions, loan maturities, loan fees, and the quality of
service. We offer competitive terms and conditions and compete by delivering high-quality, personal service to our
customers. Competition for loans is also strong due to the number and variety of institutions competing in our
market areas. For instance, competition for loans is particularly intense in the larger markets in the Puget Sound
area, such as Seattle, Washington.
Competition for deposits is primarily from other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions,
mutual funds, and other alternative investment vehicles such as securities firms, insurance companies, etc., which
may be offered locally or via the Internet. We expect continued competition from such financial institutions and
investment vehicles in the foreseeable future, including competition from on-line Internet banking competitors and
"Fintech" companies that rely on technology to provide financial services. We compete for these deposits by offering
excellent service and a variety of deposit accounts at competitive rates and through our branch network. We also
compete for deposits by offering a variety of financial services, including web-based and mobile banking
capabilities. Based on the most recent branch data provided by the FDIC, as of June 30, 2019, First Federal’s share
of bank, savings bank and savings and loan association deposits in Clallam and Jefferson counties was 35.1% and
21.9%, respectively, and was less than 2% in Whatcom and Kitsap counties.
Employees
At December 31, 2019, we had 197 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. This section provides a general overview of the federal and state regulatory framework applicable
to First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal. 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.
These statutes and regulations, as well as related policies, continue to be subject to change by Congress,
state legislatures, and federal and state regulators. Changes in statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies applicable
to First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal (including their interpretation or implementation) cannot be predicted
and could have a material effect on First Northwest Bancorp’s and First Federal’s business and operations.
Numerous changes to the statutes, regulations, and regulatory policies applicable to First Northwest Bancorp and
First Federal have been made or proposed in recent years. Any such legislation or regulatory changes in the future
by the FDIC, DFI, Federal Reserve or the CFPB could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.
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 extent 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 the shareholder(s) 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 of such
42
an institution if the FDIC determines that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an
unsafe or unsound condition. Both 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 laws 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
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.
Regulation of Management. Federal law (1) sets forth circumstances under which officers or directors of a
bank may be removed by the bank's federal supervisory agency; (2) as discussed below, places restraints on lending
by a bank to its executive officers, directors, principal shareholders, and their related interests; and (3) generally
prohibits management personnel of a bank from serving as directors or in other management positions of another
financial institution whose assets exceed a specified amount or which has an office within a specified geographic
area.
Insider Credit Transactions. Banks are subject to certain restrictions on extensions of credit to executive
officers, directors, principal shareholders, and their related interests. These extensions of credit (1) must be made on
substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) and follow credit underwriting procedures that
are at least as stringent as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not related to the
lending bank; and (2) must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable
features. Banks are also subject to certain lending limits and restrictions on overdrafts to insiders. A violation of
these restrictions may result in the assessment of substantial civil monetary penalties, regulatory enforcement
actions, and other regulatory sanctions. The Dodd-Frank Act and federal regulations place additional restrictions on
loans to insiders and generally prohibit loans to senior officers other than for certain specified purposes.
Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC. The DIF 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 year ended December 31, 2019, were $82,000. No institution may pay a
dividend if it is in default on its federal deposit insurance assessment.
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 DIF 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 reached 1.35%. On September 30,
2018, the DIF reached 1.36%, ahead of Dodd-Frank's 2020 deadline to meet the 1.35% reserve ratio. As a result,
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%, to be applied when the reserve ratio is at or above 1.38%.
Until recently, FDIC-insured institutions were also 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 was adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the assessment base, which is average assets less
43
tangible equity, and was the same base as used for the deposit insurance assessment. These assessments continued
until the bonds matured in 2019, and the final assessment was payable in March of 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. The FDIC may also prohibit any insured
institution from engaging in any activity determined by regulation or order to pose a serious risk to the DIF. 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, designed to place
restrictions on an insured depository institution if its capital levels begin to show signs of weakness, 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. The classifications for “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” and
“critically undercapitalized” institutions are also set forth in the regulations. 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.
Further, an institution may be downgraded to a category lower than indicated by its capital ratios if it is determined
to be in an unsafe or unsound condition, or if the institution receives an unsatisfactory examination rating.
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
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, 2019, First Federal was categorized as
“well capitalized” under the regulatory capital requirements described below. For additional information, see Note
12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data," of this Form 10-K.
Capital Requirements. Federal regulations require insured depository institutions and bank holding
companies to meet several minimum capital standards. The minimum capital level requirements applicable to First
Northwest Bancorp and First Federal are: (i) a common equity Tier 1 ("CET1") capital to risk-based assets ratio of
4.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets ratio of 6%; (iii) a total capital to risk-based assets ratio of 8%; and
(iv) a Tier 1 capital to total assets leverage ratio of 4%. These minimum capital requirements became effective in
January 2015 and were the result of final rules implementing certain regulatory amendments based on the
recommendation of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act.
In addition to the minimum risk-based capital ratios, the capital regulations require a capital conservation
buffer, designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress, 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 increased each year until the buffer requirement was fully implemented on January 1, 2019.
44
As of December 31, 2019, 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, 2019, see Note 12 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 considering
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. First Federal has established comprehensive policies and risk
management procedures to ensure the safety and soundness of First Federal.
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, 2019, First Federal held $6.0
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
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, 2019, First Federal had $112.9 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, which are subject to regulation and limitation, constitute a major
source of funds for dividends paid by First Northwest Bancorp to shareholders. As a general rule, regulatory
45
authorities may prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying dividends in a manner that would
constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. For example, regulators have stated that paying dividends that
deplete an institution's capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsafe and unsound banking practice and that
an institution should generally pay dividends only out of current operating earnings. In addition, a bank may not pay
cash dividends if that payment could reduce the amount of its capital below that necessary to meet minimum
applicable regulatory capital requirements. 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.
Affiliate Transactions. Federal laws strictly limit the ability of banks to engage in certain transactions with
their affiliates, including their bank holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act further extended the definition of an
“affiliate” and treats credit exposure arising from derivative transactions, securities lending, and borrowing
transactions as covered transactions under the regulations. 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 (the "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. In some cases, a bank's failure to comply with the CRA, or CRA protests filed by interested parties
during applicable comment periods, can result in the denial or delay of such transactions. First Federal received a
“satisfactory” rating during its most recent CRA examination.
Commercial Real Estate Ratios. The federal banking regulators issued guidance reminding financial
institutions to reexamine the existing regulations regarding concentrations in commercial real estate lending,
including acquisition, development and construction lending. The purpose of the guidance is to guide banks in
developing risk management practices and capital levels commensurate with the level and nature of real estate
concentrations. The banking regulators are directed to examine each bank’s exposure to commercial real estate loans
that are dependent on cash flow from the real estate held as collateral and to focus their supervisory resources on
institutions that may have significant commercial real estate loan concentration risk. The guidance provides that the
strength of an institution’s lending and risk management practices with respect to such concentrations will be taken
into account in evaluating capital adequacy and does not specifically limit a bank’s commercial real estate lending to
a specified concentration level.
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
First Federal to disclose its privacy policy, including informing consumers of its information sharing practices and
informing consumers of their 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
46
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, 2019, First Federal's deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank and vault cash exceeded its
reserve requirements.
Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism. The Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) requires all financial
institutions to establish a risk-based system of internal controls reasonably designed to prevent money laundering
and the financing of terrorism. The BSA also sets forth various recordkeeping and reporting requirements (such as
reporting suspicious activities that might signal criminal activity) and certain due diligence and "know your
customer" documentation requirements.
The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct
Terrorism Act of 2001 (“Patriot Act”), intended to combat terrorism, was renewed with certain amendments in 2006.
In relevant part, the Patriot Act (1) prohibits banks from providing correspondent accounts directly to foreign shell
banks; (2) imposes due diligence requirements on banks opening or holding accounts for foreign financial
institutions or wealthy foreign individuals; (3) requires financial institutions to establish an anti-money laundering
compliance program; and (4) eliminates civil liability for persons who file suspicious activity reports. The Patriot
Act also includes provisions providing the government with power to investigate terrorism, including expanded
government access to bank account records. Regulators are directed to consider a bank holding company’s and a
bank’s effectiveness in combating money laundering when reviewing and ruling on applications under the BHCA
and the Bank Merger Act. First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal have established comprehensive compliance
programs designed to comply with the requirements of the BSA and Patriot Act.
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 way financial institutions must deal with customers when taking deposits,
making loans, collecting loans, and providing other services. In recent years, examination and enforcement by
federal and state banking agencies for non-compliance with consumer protection laws and regulations have
increased and become more intense. 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. First Federal has established a comprehensive
compliance system to ensure consumer protection.
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
47
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 semi-annual 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/or for unsafe or unsound practices.
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 (including at times when
a bank holding company may not be in a financial position to provide such resources or when it may not be in the
bank holding company’s or its shareholders' best interests to do so), and should maintain the financial flexibility and
capital raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks. Any capital loans a bank
holding company makes to its bank subsidiaries are subordinate to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of the
bank subsidiaries. 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 $3.0
billion (which was increased from $1.0 billion in conjunction with the Crapo Bill, discussed below) or more in
assets, or with fewer assets but certain risky activities, and on a bank-only basis to other companies. When
applicable, the bank holding company capital adequacy and conservation buffer rules are the same as those imposed
by the FDIC. For additional information, see the section above entitled “- Regulation of First Federal - Capital
Regulation” and Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8., "Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data," of this Form 10-K.
Interstate Banking. The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated interstate branching restrictions that were
implemented as part of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 ("Interstate Act")
and removed many restrictions on de novo interstate branching by state and federally chartered banks. 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 bank 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
48
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. Federal bank regulations prohibit
banks from using their interstate branches primarily for deposit production, and federal bank regulatory agencies
have implemented a loan-to-deposit ratio screen to ensure compliance with this prohibition.
Interchange Fees. Under the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal Reserve adopted
rules establishing standards for assessing whether the interchange fees that may be charged with respect to certain
electronic transactions are "reasonable and proportional" to the costs incurred by issuers for processing such
transactions. Notably, the Federal Reserve's rules set a maximum permissible interchange fee, among other
requirements. As of December 31, 2019, First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal qualified for the small issuer
exemption from the Federal Reserve’s interchange fee cap, which applies to any debit card issuer that has total
consolidated assets of less than $10 billion as of the end of the previous calendar year.
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,
as discussed above.
The Federal Reserve has issued a policy statement on the payment of cash dividends by bank holding
companies. In particular, the policy 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 First Northwest Bancorp'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.
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. These various laws and regulatory policies may affect First
Northwest Bancorp’s ability to pay dividends or otherwise engage in capital distributions.
Tying Arrangements. First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal are prohibited from engaging in certain
tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, sale or lease of property, or furnishing of services.
For example, with certain exceptions, neither First Northwest Bancorp nor First Federal may condition an extension
of credit to a customer on either (1) a requirement that the customer obtain additional services provided by First
Northwest Bancorp or First Federal; or (2) an agreement by the customer to refrain from obtaining other services
from a competitor.
49
The Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank Act was signed into law in July 2010 and 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; and (iii) provide disclosure in annual proxy
materials concerning the relationship between the executive compensation paid and the financial performance of the
issuer. In August 2015, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted a rule mandated by the Dodd-
Frank Act that requires a public company to disclose the ratio of the Chief Executive Officer's annual total
compensation to the median annual total compensation of all other employees. The rule is intended to provide
shareholders with information that they can use to evaluate a Chief Executive Officer’s compensation.
Federal Securities Law. The stock of First Northwest Bancorp is registered with the SEC under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). As a result, First Northwest Bancorp is subject
to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions, and other requirements under the Exchange Act.
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 Exchange Act. 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 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.
Recent and Proposed Legislation. The economic and political environment of the past several years has
led to a number of proposed legislative, governmental, and regulatory initiatives that may significantly impact the
banking industry. Other regulatory initiatives by federal and state agencies may also significantly impact First
Northwest Bancorp's and First Federal’s business. First Northwest Bancorp and First Federal cannot predict whether
these or any other proposals will be enacted or the ultimate impact of any such initiatives on its operations,
competitive situation, financial conditions, or results of operations. While recent history has demonstrated that new
legislation or changes to existing laws or regulations typically result in a greater compliance burden (and therefore
increase the general costs of doing business), the current administration has expressed an attempt to reduce these
regulatory burdens. For instance, in May 2018, President Trump signed into law the Economic Growth, Regulatory
Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (the “Crapo Bill”), which is bipartisan legislation that rolls back certain
provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act to provide regulatory relief to certain financial institutions.
Effects of Federal Government Monetary Policy. First Northwest Bancorp’s earnings and growth are
affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal
government, particularly the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve implements national monetary policy to promote
maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates. Through its open market operations in
U.S. government securities, control of the discount rate applicable to borrowings, establishment of reserve
requirements against certain deposits, and control of the interest rate applicable to excess reserve balances and
reverse repurchase agreements, the Federal Reserve influences the availability and cost of money and credit and,
ultimately, a range of economic variables including employment, output, and the prices of goods and services. The
nature and impact of future changes in monetary policies and their impact on First Northwest Bancorp and First
Federal cannot be predicted with certainty.
50
Taxation
Federal 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, 2016. See Note 10 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. Beginning with the six months ended December 31, 2017, federal
income tax returns are filed using a December 31 year end. Prior periods, through June 30, 2017, used a fiscal year
ending on June 30 for filing its federal income tax return.
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 65%, 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 50% 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. 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.
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 $351.8 million, or
39.8% of our total loan portfolio, at December 31, 2019, from $335.6 million, or 38.6%, of our total loan portfolio at
December 31, 2018. 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
51
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, 2019, we had
$109,000 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.
The significant growth in our loan portfolio and 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. Our commercial loan portfolio, which includes loans secured by commercial and multi-family
real estate as well as business assets, has increased to $393.4 million, or 44.5% of total loans, at December 31, 2019,
from $354.5 million, or 40.8% of total loans, at December 31, 2018. Rapidly growing loan portfolios are, by their
nature, less seasoned, meaning they were originated relatively 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, understanding that we may see a slowing of
growth as we mature and manage capital down to more efficient levels. Continued growth 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, 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,
2019, the aggregate amount of loans, including unused commitments, to First Federal's five largest borrowers
(including related entities) amounted to approximately $76.4 million. Outstanding loan balances for the ten largest
borrowing relationships at December 31, 2019 totaled $112.9 million, or 12.8% 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.
If 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, 2019, our construction and land loans decreased $16.9 million, or
31.2%, to $37.2 million, or 4.2%, of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2019 and consisted of properties
secured by one- to four-family residential of $16.1 million, multi-family of $10.5 million, commercial real estate of
$3.3 million, and land of $7.3 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
52
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.
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 spread of the coronavirus both globally and in
the State of Washington, the withdrawal by the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement,
and the current trade dispute with China may affect these businesses and the regional and national economy
generally.
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
53
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 six years, we have opened three new full-service branches and a lending center in Seattle,
Washington. We may continue to open or purchase new branches and lending centers, 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
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 lending centers, and projected timelines
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 lending center 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, 2019, $341.1 million, or 38.6% of our total loan portfolio, consisted of one- to four-
family mortgage loans and home equity loans secured by residential properties. Lending on residential property is
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 or other investors 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, 2019, $22.2 million, or 2.5% 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
54
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, 2019, we had $41.6 million, or 4.7% 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. These borrowers' cash flows 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, 2019, $48.8 million of our one- to four-family and $4.3 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 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 $31.8 million at December 31, 2019. 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, 2019, 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.
55
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. Significant provisions 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 a new accounting standard update
(“ASU”) 2016-13 that will be effective on January 1, 2023. 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.
If our nonperforming assets increase, our earnings will be adversely affected.
At December 31, 2019, our nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccruing loans, real estate owned
and repossessed assets, were $2.0 million, or 0.1% of total assets. Our nonperforming assets adversely affect our net
income in various ways.
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 other-than-temporary-impairment ("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.
56
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
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 or other collateral 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. When 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 net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. 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
57
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.
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 July 2017, the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority announced that the London Interbank
Offered Rate ("LIBOR") will be replaced at the end of 2021. LIBOR is used extensively in the U.S. and globally as
a "benchmark" or "reference rate" for various commercial and financial contracts. Although a potential successor to
LIBOR has been identified, there are significant conceptual and technical differences between that model and
LIBOR. It is not currently possible to determine whether, or to what extent, the replacement of LIBOR will 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 investors. 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.
58
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. The ability to attract, retain and season replacements to our
management team presents risks to executing our business plan. 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.
Our consideration of whole bank or branch acquisitions in the future 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;
• 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, 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; and
• 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.
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 digital 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 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 Federal
Reserve, the FDIC as insurer of our deposits, and by the DFI. First Northwest Bancorp is subject to regulation and
supervision by the Federal Reserve (as a bank holding company) and regulation by the State of Washington (as a
Washington corporation). The Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the FDIC and the DFI. Such
regulation and supervision govern 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 restrictions on an institution’s operations,
require additional capital, reclassify assets, determine the adequacy of an institution’s allowance for loan losses and
59
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.
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 laws, rules and/or
regulations applicable to us 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, 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.
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
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
60
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.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
First Northwest is a bank holding company which primarily engages in the business activity of its
subsidiary, First Federal. First Federal is a community-oriented financial institution serving Clallam, Jefferson,
Kitsap, Whatcom, and King counties in Washington, through its Seattle lending center and ten full service branches.
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-family real estate, and construction loans, and have increased our auto
and consumer loans, including through indirect auto lending and purchased auto loan programs, 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.
63
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 through our
allowance for loan losses. 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 benefit costs,
occupancy and equipment expenses, federal deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments, data
processing expenses, advertising and promotion 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. We have opened four new full-service branches in Silverdale, Bellingham, and
Bainbridge Island, Washington and a lending center 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. We utilize interactive
teller machines, and we continue to explore the use of technology as a way to expand our footprint and
provide meaningful services to our customers.
• Repositioning the loan portfolio. We have significantly increased the origination of commercial real
estate, multi-family real estate, and construction and land loans as well as increased our portfolio of auto
loans through our indirect auto lending program and our purchased auto loan program. This has been done
to increase the yield on our loan portfolio, reduce our exposure to interest rate risk, and shorten the maturity
of our 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 commercial on-line banking capabilities. At our 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. 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.
Our objective is to continue to be 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
64
commercial business loans have increased from $354.5 million, or 40.8% of total loans, at December 31,
2018, to $393.4 million, or 44.5% of total loans, at December 31, 2019. 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.
•
Increasing our portfolio of auto and other loans. We actively participate in an indirect lending program
with auto dealerships within the markets where we have branch locations. We also purchase auto loans
from a company that underwrites high-end and classic auto loans for borrowers with exemplary credit,
which are typically longer duration but have had historically low loss rates. We have seen losses in the
indirect auto loan portfolio over the past year and as a result have changed our underwriting criteria, rate,
and fee structure for that program. While balances in the indirect auto loan portfolio have declined as a
result of those changes, we continue to emphasize growth in our auto loan purchase program. We believe
that effectively growing and managing our auto lending program will help to increase interest income,
shorten maturities, and manage interest rate risk. We also intend to increase our home equity line of credit
lending and other consumer loans through digital platforms over the next two years.
• 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 were $1.8 million at December 31, 2018 and $2.0
million at December 31, 2019. 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 market areas. We intend to continue our franchise growth and 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 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.
Improving our online presence and streamlining the customer experience. We strive for our customers
to have an online banking experience that is streamlined and user-friendly. By investing in and improving
on the interfaces that connect customers to our products and services, we believe we will be in a better
position to compete and grow in an environment that is becoming increasingly technology-driven. We
intend to invest in our online presence and engage in digital strategies that will help us to successfully
compete in an ever-changing digital marketplace. In 2019, the Company committed to fund $3.0 million in
•
65
an investment to identify and infuse capital into certain promising digital companies for which we may
have an interest to use their services at some future date. This commitment includes management
participation in meetings and events that we feel will benefit us when making decisions regarding digital
services offerings and customer engagement.
• Exploring alternative lending opportunities to improve interest income. We strive to grow the balance
sheet and leverage capital in a safe and sound manner and believe that lending opportunities outside of
organic originations may be a valuable source of interest income. We have engaged with Northpointe Bank
to participate in the interim financing for mortgage originators during the year and have increased our auto
loan portfolio significantly as a result of our partnership involving the purchase of loans made to borrowers
purchasing high-end automobiles and classic cars. We intend to continue to explore opportunities such as
these as a means to improve net income and supplement organic originations.
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
66
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, 2019 and December 31, 2018
Assets. Total assets increased $48.5 million, or 3.9%, to $1.31 billion at December 31, 2019, from $1.26
billion at December 31, 2018, primarily due to an increase in cash and equivalents of $22.4 million, net loans
receivable of $14.5 million, and investment securities of $9.1 million.
Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased $14.1 million, or 1.6%, during the year ended
December 31, 2019. Auto and other consumer loans increased $24.7 million, or 28.3%, primarily as a result of auto
loans purchased through our purchased auto loan program, while commercial business loans increased $22.7
million. During the last quarter of 2019, First Federal joined the Northpointe Bank Mortgage Participation Program,
which provides interim financing to mortgage originators based on the contractual sales agreements of mortgage
loans, adding $22.9 million in commercial business loans to our portfolio at year end. The balance of multi-family
and commercial real estate loans increased $16.2 million, or 4.8%, consisting mainly of an increase in multi-family
real estate loans of $13.8 million.
One- to four-family residential loans decreased $30.2 million, or 9.0%, due to the sale of a $28.5 million
pool of loans combined with repayments and other sales activity exceeding new originations held in portfolio. We
continue to focus on the origination of one- to four-family mortgages loans with the intention of retaining an amount
in portfolio in order to meet loan growth objectives while selling off excess production into the secondary market.
While we intend to continue lending on residential real estate at our Seattle lending center, we have expanded that
location to include commercial loan production as well. We strive to develop strong mortgage lenders in all of our
market areas in order to meet our balance sheet and income goals.
Construction and land loans decreased $16.9 million, or 31.2%, to $37.2 million at December 31, 2019
from $54.1 million at December 31, 2018. There were $46.8 million in undisbursed construction commitments at
December 31, 2019 compared to $57.0 million at December 31, 2018. Undisbursed construction commitments at
December 31, 2019 included $23.3 million of mainly custom one- to four-family residential construction; $16.8
million of multi-family construction; and $6.7 million of commercial real estate construction. Our construction loans
are geographically disbursed throughout the state of Washington. We manage our construction lending by utilizing a
licensed third-party vendor to assist us in monitoring our construction projects and began utilizing internal staffing
during 2019 to monitor certain projects, which we expect will enhance fee income related to these loans.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company originated $187.7 million of loans, of which
$91.4 million, or 48.7%, were originated in the Puget Sound region, $89.2 million, or 47.5%, in the Olympic
Peninsula region, and $7.2 million, or 3.8%, in other areas in Washington.

Our allowance for loan losses increased $95,000, or 1.0%, during the year ended December 31, 2019,
mainly the result of loan growth, and the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.1% at both
December 31, 2019 and 2018. There was no material change in our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total
loans during the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to 2018 due to continued stable asset quality year over
year. We believe our allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover inherent losses in the loan portfolio.
Nonperforming loans increased a modest $73,000, or 4.2%, during the year ended December 31, 2019. This
increase was mainly the result of increases in nonperforming auto and other consumer loans of $603,000, partially
offset by declines in other loan categories, mainly a decrease in nonperforming home equity loans of $257,000 and
commercial business loans of $173,000. Increased nonperforming loans in auto and other consumer loans is mainly
attributable to our indirect auto lending program, which has resulted in a higher number of loan defaults. As a result,
during 2019 we changed our underwriting criteria, rate, and fee structure for that program with the intention of
improving income earned on these loans and lessening our risk of future losses. Depending on the results of those
changes, we may consider discontinuation of this program in favor of other lending opportunities. Nonperforming
loans to total loans was 0.2% at both December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Real estate owned and
repossessed assets increased $30,000, or 24.2%, mainly a result of auto loan defaults from our indirect auto loan
portfolio. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans decreased to 536.1% at
December 31, 2018 from 553.3% at December 31, 2018 as result of the increase in nonperforming loans.
At December 31, 2019, substantially all restructured loans were performing in accordance with their
modified payment terms and returned to accrual status. Classified loans, consisting solely of substandard loans,
increased by $1.6 million, or 47.1%, to $5.0 million at December 31, 2019, from $3.4 million at December 31, 2018.
The change in classified loans was mainly the result of an increase in substandard commercial real estate, multi-
family, and commercial business loans during the year. The Bank continued to work with its borrowers to facilitate
satisfactory repayment.

Total investment securities increased $9.1 million, or 3.0%, to $315.6 million at December 31, 2019, from
$306.5 million at December 31, 2018. The year over year increase was the result of new investment purchases,
partially offset by sales, prepayment activity, and normal amortization during the year. The estimated average life of
the total investment securities portfolio was 5.0 years, and the average repricing term was approximately 3.7 years
as of December 31, 2019, based on the interest rate environment at that time. We anticipate the investment portfolio
will continue to provide additional interest income, as well as a source of liquidity to fund loan growth and a means
with which to manage interest rate risk. During the fourth quarter of 2019, all held to maturity investments were
marked as available for sale in order to provide greater flexibility to navigate changes to the portfolio as market
conditions change or business needs may warrant, particularly as it relates to the sale of investments.
Mortgage-backed securities represent the largest portion of our investment securities portfolio and totaled
$168.5 million at December 31, 2019, a decrease of $16.8 million, or 9.1%, from $185.3 million at December 31,
2018. Other investment securities, including municipal bonds and other asset-backed securities, were $147.1 million
at December 31, 2019, an increase of $26.0 million, or 21.5% from $121.1 million at December 31, 2018. At
69
December 31, 2019, the investment portfolio contained 81.8% of amortizing securities, compared to 91.5% at
December 31, 2018. 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. We continue
to focus on growing our loan portfolio and improving our earning asset mix over the long term, as evidenced by the
slow growth in investment securities and increase in net loans receivable during the year; however, we may purchase
investment securities as a source of additional interest income and 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 $44.0 million, or 4.0%, to $1.13 billion at December 31, 2019, from
$1.09 billion at December 31, 2018, mainly due to deposit account balances increasing $61.3 million, or 6.5%, to
$1.0 billion at December 31, 2019 from $940.3 million at December 31, 2018. Certificates of deposit increased
$46.7 million, or 17.9%, to $308.1 million at December 31, 2019. Included in certificates of deposit balances at year
end were $51.6 million in brokered certificates of deposit. Transaction accounts increased $14.3 million, while we
saw a shift from money market accounts, which decreased $25.3 million, into savings accounts, which increased
$25.6 million, primarily due to promotional savings activity during the year. Our focus will continue to be on
increasing our customer deposits and maintaining a stable source of funding for our planned growth.
Borrowings decreased $23.7 million, or 17.4%, to $112.9 million at December 31, 2019, from $136.6
million at December 31, 2018, as we utilized more brokered certificates of deposit during the year to fund our loan
growth. At December 31, 2019, we had $50.0 million of long term FHLB advances and $62.9 million in short term
advances maturing in three months or less.
Equity. Total shareholders' equity increased $4.6 million, or 2.7%, to $176.9 million at December 31,
2019, from $172.3 million at December 31, 2018. This increase during the year resulted from net income of $9.0
million, an increase of $3.2 million 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, and an increase of $1.6 million related to our
stock-based compensation plans. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $7.8 million related to our
repurchase of shares and $1.4 million in dividends paid in 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we
repurchased 477,837 shares of common stock at an average cost of $16.39 per share, pursuant to the Company's
2017 stock repurchase plan.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018
General. The Company had net income for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $9.0 million, compared
to net income of $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $1.9 million, or 26.8%. The
increase in net income was primarily due to increases in net interest income and noninterest income. We earned
$0.92 per common share and $0.91 per diluted share for year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $0.69 per
common share and $0.68 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in earnings per share
year over year was the result of an increase in net income combined with lower weighted-average common shares
outstanding of 9,845,021 basic and 9,923,110 diluted shares in 2019, compared to 10,331,902 basic and 10,434,437
diluted shares for the same period in 2018. The decrease in average shares year over year is due to our share
repurchase program coupled with changes to our share-based compensation plans.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $1.1 million to $37.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 2019, from $36.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, mainly as the result of an increase in
interest income related to the increase in the average balance of loans receivable.
The average balance of loans receivable increased $46.0 million, at an average yield of 4.64%, for the year
ended December 31, 2019 compared to an average yield of 4.45%, for the year ended December 31, 2018. This
increase in higher yielding loans receivable and resulting interest income during 2019, as compared to investment
and cash alternatives, was partially offset by an increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities to 1.26% for the
year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 1.01% for the year ended December 31, 2018, resulting in no change to
our net interest margin, which remained at 3.20% for both 2018 and 2019.
Net interest income increased $1.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year
ended December 31, 2018, of which $2.0 million was the result of an increase in volume, partially offset by a
$968,000 decrease due to changes in rates. As noted above, loans receivable was the main contributor to the increase
in net interest income with $2.1 million due to an increase in average volumes and $1.6 million due to increases in
70
rates. The increase to the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2019 was due
primarily to higher average balances and rates paid on savings accounts and certificates of deposit, the result of
promotional activity and the utilization of brokered certificates of deposit during the year.
Interest Income. Interest income increased $3.5 million, or 7.6%, to $49.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2019 from $45.8 million for the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to an increase in the
average balance of loans receivable. Interest and fees on loans receivable increased $3.8 million and average loan
yields increased 19 basis points compared to the year ended December 31, 2018, as we continued to increase our
balance of higher yielding loans.
Interest income on investment securities increased $134,000 to $4.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 2019 compared to $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. While the average balance of
investment securities decreased $4.3 million during the year to $121.0 million for the year ended December 31,
2019 compared to $125.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, the average yield increased 22 basis points,
resulting in higher interest income from the investment securities portfolio. 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 decreased $425,000 to $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $2.4 million, or 26.6%, for the year ended
December 31, 2019, compared to the prior year, mainly due to an increase in deposit costs of $2.9 million, or 54.2%.
Deposit costs increased due to increasing interest rates and more customers placing deposit dollars into higher-
yielding savings and certificates of deposit coupled with the utilization of brokered certificates of deposit during the
year. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $52.7 million, or 7.0%, to $805.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 2019 from $753.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, as we continued to
target growth in deposits in new and existing market areas. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the cost of
certificates of deposit increased $1.7 million due to an increase in average balance of $24.4 million and an increase
in the average rate paid of 47 basis points. The average balance of savings accounts increased $48.0 million with an
increase in the average rate paid of 0.58%, while the cost of money market accounts increased 10 basis points even
though the average balance decreased $22.4 million. The average balance of transaction accounts increased $2.8
million compared to the prior year. The average cost of all deposit products increased 32 basis points to 1.03% for
the year ended December 31, 2019 from 0.71% for the year ended December 31, 2018. Borrowing costs increased
20.3%, or 28 basis points, mainly due to a decrease in the average balance of short-term and overnight borrowings at
lower rates than longer-term borrowings.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $1.1 million, or 18.6%, for the year ended

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $260,000, or 0.8%, to $33.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2019, compared to $32.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily due to a
prepayment penalty taken as a result of the early repayment of certain long-term borrowings at FHLB during the
year. In addition, our occupancy and equipment and regulatory assessments and state taxes increased due to our
growth and costs related to the examination of First Federal by the Washington Department of Financial Institutions.
These increases were partially offset by a decrease in professional fees, primarily legal expenses, and a decrease in
FDIC insurance premiums due to a credit for the overpayment of insurance fees in prior periods.

Provision for Income Tax. Our income tax expense increased $502,000 to $2.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2019 from $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, mainly due to an increase in income
before taxes.

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 because
of their shorter maturities. Sharp increases in interest rates may adversely affect earnings when deposit and
borrowing costs change more quickly than cash flows from fixed-rate investments and loans can be reinvested at
higher rates. Typically, decreases in interest rates beneficially affect our earnings in the short term when fixed-rate
interest-earning assets stay at higher interest rates longer than it takes for deposit and borrowing costs to reset lower.
However, decreases in interest rates adversely affect earnings due to prepayments and refinancing associated with
loans and investment securities, particularly consumer and one- to four-family residential loans and MBS securities
75
with no prepayment restrictions, which are then reinvested into 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
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, 2019, 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.
76
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.
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, 2019, cash and cash equivalents totaled $48.7 million, and securities classified as available-for-sale,
which provide additional potential sources of liquidity, had a market value of $315.6 million. We have pledged
collateral to support borrowings from the FHLB of $112.9 million and have established a borrowing arrangement
with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, for which no collateral had been pledged as of December 31, 2019.
At December 31, 2019, we had $101,000 in loan commitments outstanding and an additional $88.4 million
in undisbursed loans, including undisbursed construction commitments, and standby letters of credit.
Certificates of deposit due within one year of December 31, 2019 totaled $241.1 million, or 78.2% 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, and the flattening of the yield
curve has meant insufficient returns to lock in rates for longer terms. Management believes, based on past
experience, that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will be renewed or rolled into new certificates of
deposit given the current rate environment; however, should rates fall and remain at lower levels, there will likely be
a shift back to more liquid money market accounts over time. If these maturing deposits are not renewed or rolled
into other deposit products, however, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, which may include
borrowings and brokered deposits. We also have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest
rates offered, including the offering of promotional rates on certificates of deposit to encourage the renewal or
rollover of maturing certificates of deposit and mitigate the risk of loss of these deposits to our competitors.
Depending on market conditions, we may also be required to pay higher rates on borrowings or brokered deposits
than we currently pay on standard certificates of deposit or promotional rate offerings. 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 relies on dividends from its sole subsidiary, First
Federal, and cash flows and sales of its investment portfolio for liquidity to pay its operating expenses and other
financial obligations. At December 31, 2019, the Company (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $17.7
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 year ended December 31, 2019, 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 12 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, 2019, the
conservation buffer was 2.5%.
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, 2019, 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.

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 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 15, 2015, 1,048,029 shares, or 100.0% of the
total, had been purchased. As of December 31, 2019, First Northwest had allocated 253,987 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.
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 loan losses, 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.
88
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 $10.8 million and
$9.1 million at December 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively. First Federal was in compliance with its reserve requirements at
December 31, 2019 and 2018.
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, 2019 and 2018. 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, 2019 and 2018, First Federal’s minimum investment requirement was approximately $6.0 million
and $6.9 million, respectively. First Federal was in compliance with the FHLB minimum investment requirement at
December 31, 2019 and 2018. 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
89
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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, 2019 and 2018.
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.
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.
90
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.
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,
91
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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
3 - 10 years
3 years
5 years
92
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Leases - Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the Company's right to use the underlying asset during the
lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of the future
lease payments using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The Company does not capitalize short-term leases, which
are leases with terms of twelve months or less. ROU assets and related operating lease liabilities are remeasured when lease
terms are amended, extended, or when management intends to exercise available extension options.
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, 2019 and 2018, was
approximately $5.0 million and $5.6 million, respectively. Of these loans, no loans were repurchased during the years ended
December 31, 2019 or 2018. There is an associated allowance of $19,000 and $19,000 at December 31, 2019 and 2018,
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.
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).
Dividend restriction - Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the
Bank to the Company or by the Company to shareholders.
Fair value measurements - Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other
assumptions (Note 15). 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
93
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 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 adopted accounting pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 ASU requires a lessee to recognize on the balance sheet assets
and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition,
measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its
classification as a finance or operating lease. Unlike current GAAP, which requires that only capital leases be recognized on
the balance sheet, the ASC requires that both types of leases be recognized on the balance sheet. For public companies, this
update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-02
effective January 1, 2019, resulted in a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease obligation liability of $3.9 million. The
Corporation chose the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, prior period financial information has not
been updated or restated. The right-of-use asset is included in other assets and the lease obligation liability is included in
other liabilities on the December 31, 2019, consolidated balance sheet.
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 hedging strategies in the financial statements. The amendments in this ASU permit hedge accounting for hedging
relationships involving non-financial 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 did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to
Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. These amendments provide specific guidance for transactions for acquiring
goods and services from nonemployees and specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a
grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment
awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (i)
financing to the issuer or (ii) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract
accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2018, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted but not earlier
than the adoption of Topic 606. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
94
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
statements as it has not historically issued share-based payments in exchange for goods or services to be consumed within its
operations.
In July 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, Codification Improvements. These amendments provide clarifications and
corrections to certain ASC subtopics including the following: 220-10 (Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income
- Overall), 470-50 (Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments), 480-10 (Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity - Overall),
718-740 (Compensation - Stock Compensation - Income Taxes), 805-740 (Business Combinations - Income Taxes), 815-10
(Derivatives and Hedging - Overall), and 820-10 (Fair Value Measurement - Overall). Some of the amendments in ASU
2018-09 do not require transition guidance and will be effective upon issuance; however, many of the amendments do have
transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Adoption of ASU 2018-09 did
not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-16 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Inclusion of the Secured
Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting
Purposes. The amendments in this ASU permit use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for
hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815 in addition to the interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S.
government, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) swap rate, the Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate based on the Fed
Funds Effective Rate and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Municipal Swap Rate. The
amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted concurrently with the amendments in ASU 2017-12. For public
companies, this would be for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.
Adoption of ASU 2018-16 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Recently adopted regulatory rule
In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a final rule that amends certain of its disclosure
requirements. The rule simplifies various disclosure requirements for public companies including primarily that it (i)
eliminates the requirement for public companies to disclose in their filings a schedule of earnings to fixed charges, (ii)
requires an analysis of changes in stockholders’ equity for the current and comparative year-to-date interim periods in interim
reports, and (iii) reduces the requirements for market price information disclosures in annual reports. These changes are
effective for public companies beginning on November 5, 2018. The Company started complying with these new
requirements beginning with the Quarterly Report for the period ended March 31, 2019, on Form 10-Q.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
Credit Losses
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.
Additional updates were issued in ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit
Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 825), Financial Instruments. This ASU clarifies and improves guidance
related to the previously issued standards on credit losses, hedging and recognition and measurement of financial instruments.
The amendments provide entities with various measurement alternatives and policy elections related to accounting for credit
losses and accrued interest receivable balances. Entities are also able to elect a practical expedient to separately disclose the
total amount of accrued interest included in the amortized cost basis as a single balance to meet certain disclosure
requirements. The amendments clarify that the estimated allowance for credit losses should include all expected recoveries of
95
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
financial assets and trade receivables that were previously written off and expected to be written off. The amendments also
allow entities to use projections of future interest rate environments when using a discounted cash flow method to measure
expected credit losses on variable-rate financial instruments.
In addition, new updates were issued through ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted
Transition Relief. This amendment allows entities to elect the fair value option on certain financial instruments. On adoption,
an entity is allowed to irrevocably elect the fair value option on an instrument-by-instrument basis. This alternative is
available for all instruments in the scope of Subtopic 326-20 except for existing held-to-maturity debt securities. If an entity
elects the fair value option, the difference between the instrument’s fair value and carrying amount is recognized as a
cumulative-effect adjustment.
In October 2019, the FASB confirmed that it will be moving forward with finalizing its proposal to defer the effective date
for this guidance for smaller reporting companies from the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 to
the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. For this effective date deferral to take effect, the FASB
must issue the final ASU which we expect to be issued in mid-November. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual
periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Upon issuance of the final ASU, we plan to adopt this guidance on January 1,
2023.
The Company is evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13, ASU No. 2019-04 and ASU No. 2019-05, and will closely
monitor developments and additional guidance to determine the potential impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact the implementation of these ASUs will have on the
Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company's internal project management team continues to review models,
work with our third-party vendor, and discuss changes to processes and procedures to ensure the Company is fully compliant
with the amendments at the adoption date.
Other Pronouncements
In August 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair
Value Measurement, which removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements in
ASC 820. This guidance eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements: the amount of and reasons
for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, an entity’s policy for the timing of transfers between
levels of the fair value hierarchy and an entity’s valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance also
adds new disclosure requirements for public entities: changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other
comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of instruments held at the end of the reporting period,
and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop recurring and nonrecurring Level 3
fair value measurements, including how the weighted average is calculated. Furthermore, this guidance modifies certain
requirements which will involve disclosing: transfers into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, purchases and
issuances of Level 3 assets and liabilities, and information about the measurement uncertainty of Level 3 fair value
measurements as of the reporting date. This guidance is effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud
Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, to provide guidance on implementation costs incurred in a cloud
computing arrangement that is a service contract. The ASU aligns the accounting for such costs with the guidance on
capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. Specifically, the ASU amends ASC 350 to
include in its scope implementation costs of such arrangements that are service contracts and clarifies that a customer should
apply ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs should be capitalized. This ASU, which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2019, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.
ASU 2019-12 simplifies various aspects related to accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general
96

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
principles in Topic 740. The standard also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This
ASU, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's financial statements. Early adoption is permitted.
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, 2019, there were 62 investment securities with $3.0 million of unrealized losses and a fair value of
approximately $198.8 million. At December 31, 2018, there were 69 investment securities with $6.7 million of unrealized
losses and a fair value of approximately $268.5 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 years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

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.

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 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. Loans not otherwise classified are considered pass graded loans and are rated 1-3 in our
risk rating system.
Additionally, First Federal categorizes loans as performing or nonperforming based on payment activity. Loans that are more
than 90 days past due and nonaccrual loans are considered nonperforming.

Note 6 - Operating Leases
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and all subsequent ASUs that are related to
Topic 842. The Company, as lessee, leases certain assets for use in its operations. Leased assets primarily include retail
branches and operation centers. For each lease with an original term greater than 12 months, the Company records a lease
liability and a corresponding right of use ("ROU") asset. At December 31, 2019, the Company's ROU assets included in other
assets and lease liabilities included in other liabilities were $4.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively.
Total costs incurred by the Company, as a lessee, were $505,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019, and principally
related to contractual lease payments on operating leases. The Company's leases do not impose significant covenants or other
restrictions on the Company.
The Bank has lease agreements with unaffiliated parties for six locations. The lease terms for four full-service branches, one
loan production office, and one support center are not individually material. Lease expirations range from one to twenty
years, with additional renewal options on certain leases ranging from two to ten years.

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,
2019, the balance of the contribution carryforward totaled $5.9 million. The contribution carryforward expired in 2019. As a
result, the carryforward and related valuation allowance were reversed during the period. 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 $0 and $1.2 million, at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Note 11 - 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
119
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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, 2019, was $1,109,000.
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
First Federal maintains a single-employer 401(k) plan. Employees may contribute up to 100% of their pre-tax compensation
to the 401(k) plan, subject to regulatory limits. First Federal provides matching funds of 50% limited to the first 6% of salary
contributed. First Federal's contributions were $270,000 and $245,000 during the years ended December 31, 2019 and
December 31, 2018, 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.

FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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, 2019, 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%.
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 were made by the ESOP
during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
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 year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, was $702,000 and $851,000,
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 year ended December 31, 2019, 64,900 shares of restricted stock were awarded and no stock options were
granted. There were 65,000 shares of restricted stock awarded during the year ended December 31, 2018, and no stock
options were granted. 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 year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, total compensation expense for the EIP was $1.1 million and $1.1 million,
respectively.

Note 12 - 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 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
122
FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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%.
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, 2019, the conservation buffer was 2.5%.
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, 2019, 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 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, 2019, First Federal exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 14 - 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 years ended December 31,
2019, and 2018.
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, 2019 and 2018 First Federal’s
most significant concentration of credit risk was in loans secured by real estate. These loans totaled approximately $730.2
million and $767.6 million, or 82.6% and 88.3%, of First Federal’s total loan portfolio at December 31, 2019 and 2018,
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, 2019 and 2018, 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 $223.5 million
and $243.4 million, or 69.5% and 77.7%, of First Federal’s total investment portfolio (including FHLB stock) at
December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Note 15 - 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 16 - 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.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the components used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share for the
periods shown.

Potential dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of EPS if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the years ended
December 31, 2019 and 2018, anti-dilutive shares outstanding related to restricted stock awards totaled 66,659 and 48,040,
respectively, because the incremental shares under the treasury stock method of calculation resulted in them being anti-
dilutive.
As of December 15, 2015, the ESOP had purchased 1,048,029 shares of First Northwest Bancorp in the open market.
Unallocated ESOP shares are not included as outstanding shares for basic or diluted earnings per share calculations.

The Company recognizes revenue as it is earned and noted no impact to its revenue recognition policies as a result of the
adoption of ASU 2014-09. The following is a discussion of key revenues within the scope of the new revenue guidance.
Deposit fees - The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for account maintenance, transaction-based activity and
overdraft services. Account maintenance fees consist primarily of account fees and analyzed account fees charged on deposit
accounts on a monthly basis. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are recognized on a monthly basis as the
service period is completed. Transaction-based fees on deposit accounts are charged to deposit customers for specific services
provided to the customer, such as non-sufficient funds fees, overdraft fees, and wire fees. The performance obligation is
completed as the transaction occurs and the fees are recognized at the time each specific service is provided to the customer.
Debit interchange income - Debit and Automated Teller Machine ("ATM") interchange income represent fees earned when a
debit card issued by the Company is used. The Company earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions through
card networks. In addition, the Company earns interchange fees for use of its ATM by customers of other banking
institutions. Interchange fees are based on purchase volumes and other factors and are recognized as transactions occur. The
performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are earned when the cost of the transaction is charged to the cardholder's debit
card. Certain expenses directly associated with the credit and debit card are netted against interchange income.
Credit card interchange income- Credit card interchange income represents fees earned when a credit card issued by the
Bank through a third-party vendor is used. Similar to the debit card interchange, the Bank earns an interchange fee for each
transaction made with a Bank-branded credit card. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are earned when the
cost of the transaction is charged to the cardholder's credit card. Certain expenses directly related to the credit card
interchange contract are netted against interchange income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Investment services revenue - Commissions received on the sale of investment related products is determined by a
percentage of underlying instruments sold and is recognized when the sale is finalized.
Gains/losses on the sale of other real estate owned are included in non-interest expense and are generally recognized when
the performance obligation is complete. This is typically at delivery of control over the property to the buyer at time of each
real estate closing.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
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,
2019 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.
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, 2019. 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, 2019,
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, 2019, which is included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm. Moss Adams LLP has issued an attestation
report that expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
135
Changes in Internal Controls. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting for the year ended December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
