Message to Shareholders

Joe Schierhorn

For Northrim Bank (the Bank), 2021 was a year of growth and profi tability, driven by our 
employees and our commitment to community. 

We  opened  a  new  branch  in  Fairbanks,  expanding  in  response  to  our  customers’ 
needs.  We  att racted  talented  new  bankers,  who  brought  experti se  and  relati onships 
that helped drive our growth across all markets. We enhanced customer relati onships 
through dedicated outreach, and we conti nued to invest in our people, products and 
services to meet our customers’ increasingly sophisti cated needs. 

The Bank ended the year with net income of $37.52 million, an increase of 14% from 
2020. Total assets increased to $2.72 billion, up 28% from a year ago. Total revenue was 
$133.1 million, compared to $134 million for 2020.

Our improved profi tability in 2021 was due to fee and interest income from the Small 
Business Administrati on’s (SBA) Paycheck Protecti on Program (PPP) loans, strong core 
loan and deposit growth and conti nued high levels of producti on at our wholly-owned 
subsidiary, Residenti al Mortgage.

Through our acti ve parti cipati on in the PPP, we helped both new and existi ng customers 
sustain their business operati ons as the pandemic conti nued to impact the economy. 
Northrim was the largest originator of PPP loans in Alaska. 

Our  PPP  eff orts  brought  more  than  2,300  new  customers  to  the  Bank,  and  we  are 
working hard to develop full banking relati onships with these businesses. We are proud 
of the work we are doing to address the needs of our customers, and as a result, we are 
growing our market share across all of our major markets.

Our employees’ outreach to customers, including those introduced to the Bank through 
the PPP, had a meaningful impact on core loan and deposit growth in 2021. Portf olio 
loans excluding the impact from PPP were $1.3 billion for 2021, up 14% from the year 
prior. Total portf olio loans were $1.41 billion, down 2% from a year ago, a result of PPP 
loan forgiveness. Total deposits were $2.42 billion at year-end, up 33% from a year ago, 
with a large porti on of growth coming from new customers gained through the PPP. 

Producti on  at  Residenti al  Mortgage  was  another  important  driver  of  our  2021 
profi tability. The company conti nued to provide Alaskans with industry-leading service 
and  experti se,  originati ng  $1.1  billion  in  mortgages  in  2021,  making  them  Alaska’s 
leading mortgage loan originator.

We Bank on Alaskans

In spite of historically low interest rates, net interest income for 2021 was $80.8 million, up 14% from 2020. Excluding 
PPP interest and fees, core net interest income in 2021 increased 5% to $65.4 million, compared to $62.6 million in 2020, 
and our net interest margin at the end of 2021 remains above peer average.

Also contributi ng to our 2021 results was a $4.1 million benefi t to the provision for credit losses, compared to a $2.43 
million provision for credit losses in 2020. Higher credit quality and improving economic conditi ons in the state were 
major factors in this shift .

Northrim conti nues to maintain capital levels in excess of the requirements needed to be categorized as “well-capitalized.” 
We conti nued our stock repurchase program, which is an important component of our capital plan, repurchasing a total 
of 279,276 shares. We increased our shareholder dividend twice in 2021, for an increase of 9% from 2020, highlighti ng 
the Bank’s steady growth and solid capital positi on, and commitment to increasing returns to our shareholders.

Our  2021  results  refl ect  the  eff ort  of  our  employees  to  meet  the  needs  of  our  community.  In  additi on  to  serving 
Alaskans’ banking needs, we also serve our communiti es through fi nancial support and volunteerism. We increased our 
community giving in 2021, both at the Bank and individual employee level, and volunteer hours increased from 2020 as 
we found creati ve ways to be involved in the community during these challenging ti mes. 

As  we  moved  through  the  second  full  year  of  the  pandemic,  a  thoughtf ul  combinati on  of  teamwork,  customer  and 
employee safety measures, processes and IT infrastructure allowed us to keep our branches operati onal and provide 
our customers with a consistently high level of service. We are deeply appreciati ve of our employees’ eff orts and their 
unwavering dedicati on to providing Superior Customer First Service.  

As Alaska’s local, community bank, we are grateful for the opportunity to serve the customers and communiti es of our 
state, and we look forward to conti nuing to grow together.

We Bank on AlaskansBanking on Alaska Businesses

Northrim was founded as a commercial bank, and 
that remains true today. We believe it is important for 
Alaska businesses to have a dedicated financial team 
that understands the local economy, and the obstacles 
and opportunities of operating a business in challenging 
environments. Northrim has that expertise, and we are 
committed to sharing it for the benefit of the business 
community.

This commitment was demonstrated clearly over the 
past two years through our participation in the Small 
Business Administration’s (SBA) Paycheck Protection 

Program (PPP). We originated more PPP loans than 
any other bank in Alaska, both in number of loans and 
in dollar amount, providing the assistance businesses 
required to survive in the face of tremendous 
challenges. 

Under the initial program, we helped approximately 
2,900 businesses receive $375.6 million in PPP loans. 
During the second round, we helped approximately 
2,870 businesses receive $237 million in PPP loans. 
Northrim was recognized as the SBA’s 2020 Top Lender 
of the Year for the state of Alaska.

We are proud to contribute to the strength of 
Alaska by supporting the businesses that form 
the foundation of our state’s economy.

From PPP to Full Banking Relationships 

Through the Paycheck Protecti on Program 
(PPP), we off ered assistance to both existi ng 
and new customers, working with them as their 
needs changed and providing soluti ons tailored 
to their circumstances. Our responsiveness, 
experti se and high level of service throughout 
the PPP process helped us att ract 2,300 new 
customers to the Bank. 

The PPP process helped
us attract 2,300 new
customers to the Bank.

While the number of businesses served in the fi rst and second rounds of PPP were comparable, our increased 
experience, IT infrastructure, automated systems and incredible teamwork resulted in a highly streamlined 
process in 2021. This allowed us to produce a signifi cant volume of PPP loans in a shorter period of ti me, providing 
a bett er experience for both customers and employees. 

Our increased internal effi  ciency enabled us to adjust employee resources from loan processing to customer 
outreach, with a focus on converti ng new PPP customers into full banking relati onships. This led to signifi cant loan 
and deposit growth in 2021, with growth geographically diversifi ed across all of our markets. In 2020 and 2021, 
$63 million, or 25% of our core loan growth, and $119 million, or 11% of our deposit growth, came from new 
customers obtained from our PPP eff orts over the last two years. As a community leader, the Bank reached out to 
nonprofi ts and new customers to ensure they were able to apply for PPP loans.

Customer-Driven Growth

Listening and responding to the needs of our customers and communiti es led to conti nued growth of our places, 
people, processes, and products and services in 2021.  

Places
To bett er serve our customers, we opened our second Fairbanks branch in the fi rst quarter of 2021, further 
diversifying our geographic footprint throughout Alaska. Our decision to expand during a ti me when some other 
banks are contracti ng was validated by our customer, loan, deposit and market share growth in 2021. 

We also made investments in several of our existi ng faciliti es, including energy effi  ciency upgrades that will help us 
reduce energy consumpti on and expense.  

People
Northrim has a history of att racti ng talented bankers, and that success conti nued in 2021 as we added members to 
our team in communiti es across Alaska. These new employees brought both experti se and new relati onships with 
them, adding value to the Bank and further encouraging our growth. 

We added another experienced lender to our Kodiak loan producti on offi  ce, which opened in spring 2020, 
enhancing our presence in that market and allowing us to serve more borrowers in the community. We also 
expanded our lending staff  in Soldotna to meet customer needs on the Kenai Peninsula.

We maintained our investments in IT infrastructure,

We conti nued to invest in products and services 
to address the needs of larger and increasingly

Role of Residential Mortgage 

With offi  ces in Anchorage, Juneau, Kodiak, Soldotna, Eagle River, Fairbanks and the Mat-Su Region, our
wholly-owned subsidiary, Residenti al Mortgage Lending, LLC, retained their positi on as a market leader for 
mortgage loan originati ons in Alaska. 

Solid residenti al mortgage business conti nued to add strength to the Bank in 2021. Residenti al Mortgage 
originated $1.1 billion in mortgage loans in 2021, compared to $1.3 billion in 2020. Home mortgage lending 
provided 25% of the Bank’s total revenue and 5% of earnings in 2021.

While refi nance acti vity slowed slightly compared to the record-setti  ng pace of 2020, new home purchases 
remained strong in 2021 as homebuyers conti nued to take advantage of interest rates that were at
near-historic lows.

Residenti al Mortgage’s keys to success are their long-standing relati onships and returning customer base, 
earned through their team’s responsive service and extensive experience. The company deepened its mortgage 
and executi ve experti se in 2021 with the additi on of a new chief operati ng offi  cer, who brings many years of 
mortgage experience to the company.

We Bank on Alaskans:
Cook Inlet Tribal Council

People. Partnership. Potenti al. This is what Cook Inlet Tribal Council (CITC) is all about. When the Southcentral 
Alaska-based tribal nonprofi t organizati on takes on new projects, they search for new partners to engage with – 
especially partners who invest in the community they serve. So when CITC was looking to acquire property for 
their latest project – the Super Fab Lab – they connected with Northrim.

“CITC knows how acti ve Northrim is in the community and appreciates the important role they play in 
philanthropy and as a banking insti tuti on for Alaskans,” says Amy Fredeen, CITC’s Chief Financial Offi  cer. “Thanks 
to their great reputati on in Alaska, CITC is excited to partner with Northrim on this incredible project.”

The Super Fab Lab is a milestone in CITC’s eff orts to grow Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) 
learning for Alaska Nati ve/American Indian youth. In 2013, CITC created the original Fab Lab, an educati onal space 
that challenges students to develop hands-on STEM skills. 

The expanded Super Fab Lab will add capacity for students and programs, increasing access to the latest design 
and fabricati on technology. It will also be a hub for entrepreneurs developing the products and businesses of 
tomorrow. 

Aft er acquiring the property, CITC partnered with Northrim on the renovati on of the Super Fab Lab, which they

CITC with a new earned income stream to support their mission.

“Going into these projects during the pandemic was a unique situati on,” Fredeen notes. “Northrim went above 
and beyond to make sure the pandemic didn’t impact the additi on of these important assets for CITC’s mission.”

CITC has more than doubled in size in the last two years – and has much more planned. “CITC will conti nue 
working to open new paths to opportunity and potenti al for Our People no matt er what obstacles we may face,” 
Fredeen says. “To be successful, we know we need great partners on this journey with us.”

“Northrim’s focus is on being an outstanding partner 
to the community and Alaska businesses. It’s great to 
collaborate with an organizati on like CITC that is so 
aligned with the community and to be able to help 
them with their projects,” says Bond Stewart, Northrim 
Vice President, Commercial Real Estate Loan Offi  cer.
“We really appreciate CITC working with Northrim  
and look forward to working together on future 
projects to help the Alaska Nati ve and American Indian 
community.”

Diversifying Services and Revenue Sources

In addition to home mortgage lending, Northrim has interests in other businesses, including purchased receivables 
financing and wealth management. These investments allow us to provide additional services to our customers, 
while diversifying our revenue sources and adding strength to our non-interest income. Other operating income 
contributed $52.3 million, or 39% of revenues, in 2021, compared to $63.3 million, or 47% of revenues, in 2020.

Northrim Funding Services
Northrim Funding Services, a division of the Bank, purchases the 
accounts receivable of capital-constrained small to mid-size businesses, 
as well as businesses experiencing rapid growth or change. The division 
also offers financial solutions to transition customers back to other bank 
lending programs. 

Northrim Funding Services saw a rebound in 2021, after a decrease in 
activity in 2020 due to many of its customers obtaining PPP loans or 
receiving loan accommodations. As the economy began to recover in 
2021, the division saw balances increase to nearly pre-pandemic levels. 

Northrim Funding Services contributed $2.3 million to other operating 
income in 2021, compared to $2.7 million in 2020.

Northrim Investment Services
Northrim Investment Services offers investment services through Elliott 
Cove Capital Management and insurance products via Elliott Cove 
Insurance Agency. Through this relationship, our business and individual 
customers can access a range of financial products and services.

In 2021, Northrim Investment Services continued to offer diversified 
portfolios to our customers. 

Pacific Portfolio

Consulting, LLC and Pacific Portfolio Trust Company (Pacific Portfolio). 
Founded in 1992 and part of the Northrim family since 2006, Pacific 
Portfolio is an independent wealth management and investment advisor 
serving high-net-worth individuals and families, as well as institutions, 
foundations, and trustee- or participant-directed retirement plans. 

Pacific Portfolio had a strong year, growing assets under advisement

operating officer at the end of 2020. For the seventh year in a row, the 
company’s founder, President and CEO Larry Hood was recognized by 
Barron’s as one of America’s Top 100 Independent Financial Advisors 
in 2021.

Kenaitze Indian Tribe

The mission of the Kenaitze Indian Tribe, located on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, is “To assure Kahtnuht’ana Dena’ina 
thrive forever.” The Tribe was federally recognized as a sovereign, independent nati on in 1971. Today, they have 
more than 1,800 Tribal Members who live across the Kenai Peninsula and beyond. 

The Tribe’s more than 300 employees deliver a variety of programs and services that promote the wellness of 
their people and the community. The Dena’ina Wellness Center, the Tribe’s integrated healthcare facility, as well 
as tribal justi ce system, educati on programs, an Elder center, and social and family services are among the Tribe’s 
current eff orts – and much more is on the horizon.

The Tribe has experienced tremendous growth over the past decade. As the Tribal Council and administrati on 
look to the future, they are working to ensure that growth is sustainable, and that the Tribe’s membership and 
community conti nue to thrive. 

The Tribe is currently constructi ng the Kahtnuht’ana Duhdeldiht Campus, a 67,000-square-foot facility that will 
house the Tribe’s educati on programs, which focus on language and culture preservati on.

Also in progress is a new transportati on building, named Hetl Qenq’a, or “Sled House,” which will provide a hub for 
the Tribe’s vehicle fl eet. The Tribe also plans to pilot a fi xed-route bus service for the central Kenai Peninsula.

Planning is also underway for a new pavilion at the Tribe’s educati onal fi shery at the mouth of the Kenai River, and 
they are expanding their Tribal Court facility to meet the Tribe’s growing needs.

The Tribe began working with Northrim in spring 2021, choosing the Bank for its return on investment, 
competi ti ve fee structure and responsive local support. The Tribal Council recognizes it is important to be good 
stewards of resources, including fi nancial resources. While the Tribe’s primary focus in selecti ng a fi nancial
partner was stewardship of resources, leadership said fi nding that partner in a local Alaska bank has been an 
added benefi t.

“Since my childhood on the Kenai Peninsula, the 
Kenaitze Indian Tribe has remained a leader both 
in terms of our community and our economy,” says 
Mike Dye, Northrim Vice President and Lending 
Branch Manager in Soldotna. “We are honored 
that the Kenaitze Indian Tribe selected Northrim as 
their fi nancial partner, and we are excited to play a 
role in supporti ng their conti nued growth to serve 
their people and our community into the future.”

A Leader in Community Commitment

As Alaska’s local, community bank, we feel a responsibility to take a leadership role in building the communiti es we 
serve. This commitment has been a core value since the Bank began, and we are proud of our conti nued ability to 
share our success to improve the quality of life in our communiti es. 

When community needs shift ed and grew due to the pandemic, so did our giving. We made new contributi ons to 
organizati ons including Cook Inlet Soccer Club and the University of Alaska Anchorage athleti cs program, as well as 
increased giving to the Alaska Nati ve Heritage Center, United Way and the University of Alaska. 

We conti nued support of organizati ons forced to postpone or cancel events, and we were fl exible with our 
donati on request deadlines. We modifi ed our School-Business Partnerships, focusing on donati ons that helped 
connect students to the community whether from home or the classroom. 

Our employees also demonstrated their generosity through increased giving in 2021. Together, we increased
our annual United Way campaign and have contributed nearly $2.5 million to support United Way since the
Bank was founded. 

In additi on to fi nancial contributi ons, we acti vely encourage employee volunteerism, both during work hours 
and personal ti me. Volunteer hours increased from 2020 as in-person opportuniti es began to return. In 2021, 
Northrim employees gave more than 1,343 hours of their ti me, supporti ng a wide range of community acti viti es 
and causes.

Our employees also serve in leadership roles with professional and nonprofi t organizati ons, adding value by 
sharing their passion and experti se in the community. Our team gave presentati ons on government assistance 
programs and other fi nancial topics, and we presented a virtual economic event for our customers and employees, 
as we were once again unable to hold our in-person event due to pandemic precauti ons. 

Our employees also serve in leadership roles with 
professional and nonprofit organizations, adding value 
by sharing their passion and expertise in the community.

Facilitati ng the availability of aff ordable housing for Alaska families conti nued to be a priority for the Bank in 
2021. We were honored to receive the Charles L. Edson Tax Credit Excellence Award from the Aff ordable Housing 
Tax Credit Coaliti on for our involvement in the Coronado Park II/Qintali View project, which provides safe, 
quality aff ordable housing to residents of Eagle River. We were pleased to work with project partners Cook Inlet 
Housing Authority, R4 Capital, The Rasmuson Foundati on and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines on this 
important eff ort.

Environmental, Social and Governance

In 2021, Northrim began work on our initi al environmental, social and governance (ESG) report, which was 
published on the Bank’s website in the fi rst quarter of 2022. We believe we have built a strong foundati on in these 
areas, as they have been integral to Northrim throughout our history. 

The ESG report highlights our hard work and achievements in areas including energy effi  ciency; diversity, equity 
and inclusion; workplace fl exibility; employee training, health and wellness; volunteerism and giving; support of 
small businesses and low- and moderate-income communiti es; and compliance, management and marketi ng. We 
look forward to conti nually enhancing these practi ces for the benefi t of the customers and communiti es we serve.

Talent and Teamwork 

Northrim Bank is a collection of our people, and our success is the result of their dedication and effort. 
Throughout our history, we have been successful in attracting the right people with the right expertise and 
the right attitude. 

In 2021, our people demonstrated their ability to work together as a team to care for our customers and the 
community, while adjusting to a changing environment, to produce a year of strong growth and profitability. 

We feel pride in seeing employees from different departments throughout the Bank collaborating and taking 
on new roles to provide services that, in many cases, were essential for customers to remain in business. Our 
employees understand the importance of their work to our customers and community, and this sense of purpose 
drives them to put forth their best effort every day. 

In line with our Vision to be Alaska’s Employer of Choice, we are purposeful in supporting our employees, so they 
can remain highly focused on our customers. In 2021, we created the foundations for an employee development 
program with the goal of building the next generation of Bank leaders internally. We also continue to promote 
from within and recognize the growing expertise and capabilities of our employees.

Our people demonstrated their ability to work together
as a team to care for our customers and the community.

American Mechanical

From designing and building state-of-the-art aircraft  
hangars at Fairbanks Internati onal Airport, to installing 
window walls at a 28-story apartment building in 
Waikiki, American Mechanical, Inc. and its family of 
companies play an important role in shaping Interior 
Alaska – and beyond. 

Founded in 1982 by Dennis L. Michel, American 
Mechanical provides general contracti ng, design-build, 
and general building/faciliti es maintenance and repair 
to commercial and industrial customers throughout 
Alaska. 

American-Bucher JV is a Fairbanks-based joint venture 
between American Mechanical and Bucher Glass that 
installs curtain/window walls, exterior metal and glass 
fi nish products in commercial and residenti al high-rise 
buildings in Hawaii. 

Omni Logisti cs, Inc. is an aviati on ground handling 
company at Fairbanks Internati onal Airport providing 
aircraft , security and passenger services for its airline 
partners, which range from small commuters, to 
commercial airlines and cargo aircraft .

Arcti c Sands LLC is a real estate and equipment leasing 
company that services the family of companies’ capital 
expenditure needs.

As an Alaska Nati ve, family-owned company with a long 
history and deep roots in the community, the Michels 
believe in the importance of giving back. This includes 
sponsoring a wide variety of youth organizati ons. They 
also strive to provide sustainable wages and steady 
employment for employees. 

“Being locally owned and operated means that every 
dollar of revenue that fl ows through our companies 
stays in the local community. We are proud of that,”
says Dennis L. Michel II, President of Omni Logisti cs. 

The multi -faceted family of companies began working 
with Northrim in 2020, starti ng with a line of credit for 
American-Bucher JV and expanding into a full banking 
relati onship, including assistance with a PPP loan.   

“Like a lot of companies during the pandemic, we 
applied for a PPP loan. American Mechanical had 
a very good experience with Northrim to get this 
done. Their experti se working with our CPA and the 
SBA to quickly process our PPP loan applicati on and 
forgiveness was outstanding,” remarks Karen Michel, 
Vice President of American Mechanical.

“There are lots of opportuniti es for Interior Alaska 
coming down the pike,” Dennis says. “All of this is 
backed by our fi nancial partner, Northrim Bank, 
that gives us the capacity to respond to these 
opportuniti es.”

Scott y Watkins, Northrim Vice President – Commercial 
Lending Team Lead in Fairbanks, says it is an honor to 
work with the Michels and their group of companies. 

“The Michel family of companies have been a staple 
in our community over the past 40 years,” he says.
“They have provided Interior Alaska with superior 
integrity and knowledge in the industries they 
support.”

Shining in Superior Customer First Service 

The changes and challenges resulti ng from the pandemic presented many opportuniti es for our employees to 
provide Superior Customer First Service. As an organizati on, we remained adaptable and made adjustments 
throughout the year in order to provide a consistently high level of service to our customers. 

We focused on keeping our branches operati onal, our services accessible, and our employees and customers safe. 
This involved a combinati on of remote work, facilitated by our IT infrastructure, and CDC-approved health and 
safety measures that allowed our frontline employees to remain on-site. These eff orts enabled our customers to 
access the support and services they needed, when they needed it, throughout the year.

Our employees were highly responsive to Paycheck Protecti on Protecti on Program (PPP) applicants, criti cally 
reviewing the applicati ons to maximize the assistance businesses could receive. Depending on a customer’s 
circumstances, we identi fi ed other programs they might benefi t from. We also assisted customers through the PPP 
forgiveness process, again helping them take advantage of the available support.

Beyond responsiveness, our employees were also proacti ve in reaching out to customers. From government 
assistance programs to growth opportuniti es, we explored and presented soluti ons tailored to customers’ specifi c 
situati ons, then helped them navigate the process from start to fi nish. As appropriate, we worked with customers 
to restructure their debt and provide loan repayment accommodati ons. 

We focused on keeping our branches operational, our 
services accessible, and our employees and customers safe.

Financial Snapshot Endnotes:

1  These unaudited schedules provide selected fi nancial informati on concerning the Company that should be read in conjuncti on with Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and 

Analysis of Financial Conditi on and Results of Operati ons” of this report.

2  Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP rati o defi ned as shareholders’ equity, less intangible assets, divided by common shares outstanding. Management believes that 

tangible book value is a useful measurement of the value of the Company’s equity because it excludes the eff ect of intangible assets on the Company’s equity.

3  Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP rati o that represents total equity less goodwill and intangible assets divided by total assets less goodwill and 

intangible assets. Management believes this rati o is important as it has received more att enti on over the past several years from stock analysts and regulators. The most 
comparable GAAP measure of shareholders’ equity to total assets is calculated by dividing total shareholders’ equity by total assets. 

4  Tax-equivalent net interest margin is a non-GAAP performance measurement in which interest income on non-taxable investments and loans is presented on a tax-equivalent 

basis using a combined federal and state statutory rate of 28.43% in 2018 through 2021 and 41.11% in all other years presented. Management believes that tax-equivalent net 
interest margin is a useful fi nancial measure because it enables investors to evaluate net interest margin excluding tax expense in order to monitor our eff ecti veness in growing 
higher interest yielding assets and managing our costs of interest bearing liabiliti es over ti me on a fully tax equivalent basis.

5  In managing our business, we review the effi  ciency rati o exclusive of intangible asset amorti zati on, which is a non-GAAP performance measurement. Management believes that 
this is a useful fi nancial measurement because we believe this presentati on provides investors with a more accurate picture of our operati ng effi  ciency. The effi  ciency rati o is 
calculated by dividing other operati ng expense, exclusive of intangible asset amorti zati on, by the sum of net interest income and other operati ng income. Other companies may 
defi ne or calculate this data diff erently. 

6  The Company’s 2017 results included the impact of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The law includes signifi cant 
changes to the U.S. corporate tax system, including a Federal corporate rate reducti on from 35% to 21%. In 2017, the Company applied the newly enacted corporate federal 
income tax rate of 21%, reducing the value of the Company’s net deferred tax asset, resulti ng in approximately a $2.7 million increase in tax expense. In 2018, the Company 
fi nalized changes related to the reducti on in the federal tax rate which resulted in a $470,000 reducti on in tax expense.

7  Number of banking offi  ces does not include RML locati ons. 2021 number of banking offi  ces includes 17 full service branches and 1 loan producti on offi  ce. 2020 number of 
banking offi  ces includes 16 full service branches and 1 loan producti on offi  ce. 2018 number of banking offi  ces include 15 full service branches and 1 loan producti on offi  ce.

8  FTE includes 321, 312, 311, 320, 314, and 321 Community Banking employees in 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respecti vely. FTE includes 130, 126, 120, 110, 115, and 

130 Home Mortgage Lending employees in 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respecti vely.
