MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS

GROWTH. PROFITABILITY. CREDIT QUALITY. STRENGTH OF CORE BANKING 
OPERATIONS. INVESTMENT IN PEOPLE AND INFRASTRUCTURE. THESE 
WERE KEY THEMES FOR NORTHRIM BANK (THE BANK) IN 2022. 

Strong net interest income along with core loan growth supported record 2022 earnings in our 
Community Banking segment. We continued to grow our core loan portfolio throughout the 
state with 15 percent growth in 2022, which built upon 14 percent growth in 2021 and 9 percent 
growth in 2020. 

In addition, our credit quality metrics are among the best in the Bank’s history. Our 2022 non-
performing assets decreased to $6.4 million, compared to $10.8 million in 2021. Due in part to 
loan growth, our 2022 results included a provision for credit losses expense of $1.8 million, 
compared to a $4.1 million reversal of the provision expense in 2021. 

Loan growth, in tandem with the structure of our balance sheet, helped to increase our net 
interest income by 18 percent in 2022, as compared to the prior year. Net interest margin 
expanded to 3.85 percent in 2022, a 27 bps increase from 2021, primarily due to higher yields 
on portfolio loans, and long- and short-term investments. Our net interest margin remains 
above peer average.

Rising mortgage interest rates caused a slowdown of the housing market, and lending activity 
at our wholly-owned subsidiary, Residential Mortgage, LLC, (Residential Mortgage) decreased 
in 2022. This was partially offset by a 51 percent increase in net revenue from our home 
mortgage servicing portfolio from a year ago. 

1

Residential Mortgage expanded operations into the Pacifi c 
Northwest and Southwest, and attracted experienced, 
talented loan originators, positioning the company for 
increased loan volume in the future. 

Our 2022 net income decreased 18 percent to $30.7 million 
in 2022, as compared to 2021. Impacts from the increased 
provision for credit losses, along with decreased fee and 
interest income from the Paycheck Protection Program 
(PPP), and decreased production at Residential Mortgage 
were partially offset by our core loan growth and
margin increase.

Total Bank assets at year-end were $2.67 billion, down
2 percent from the prior year. Liquidity levels remain high, 
and Northrim continues to maintain capital levels in excess 
of the regulatory requirements to be categorized as
“well-capitalized.”

We increased our shareholder dividends by 21 percent
in 2022, and continued our stock repurchase program.
Despite the overall market decrease in 2022, our share
price increased 26 percent, which is one of the highest in
our peer group.

Our 2022 growth is the result of efforts to develop new 
customer relationships and deepen existing 
relationships. We opened a loan production 
offi ce in the Northwest Alaska hub of 
Nome in March 2022, and then expedited 
the opening of a temporary branch 

in December to meet community needs in the aftermath 
of storms that devastated the region. We also undertook 
construction of a branch in Kodiak, Alaska, expanding the 
presence of the loan production offi ce we opened there in 
2020. To support our growth into new markets, we attracted 
local bankers with longevity in their communities and 
expertise in key industries.

We continue to develop full banking relationships with 
the more than 2,300 new customers we acquired during 
the PPP loan process. We also focused on expanding and 
enhancing products and services, including several new 
Treasury Management offerings designed to increase 
customer effi ciency, savings and security. 

As part of ongoing efforts to be an employer of choice, we 
enhanced our employee benefi ts, including paid parental 
leave, a dedicated wellness day, increased tuition assistance 
and compensation adjustments. 

We created the Northrim Management Academy to prepare 
employees for future leadership opportunities, and the 
Commercial Banker Trainee Program to help us develop the 
next generation of bankers. 

Looking back at 2022, we are proud of the talent, attitude, 

cooperation, collaboration and expertise of all 
of our employees as we work together to 

serve the needs of our customers and our 

communities.

ROOTED IN ALASKA
ROOTED IN ALASKA

Northrim has been rooted in Alaska since inception – 
and we’ve remained focused on serving Alaskans and 
strengthening our state ever since. We understand 
the opportunities and challenges of living and working 
here, and are committed to proactively serving the 
unique needs of Alaskans and the businesses that power 
the Last Frontier. This Alaska focus, adaptability and 
responsiveness has provided a strong foundation for the 
Bank’s growth. 

Expanding our branch network into new areas of Alaska 
is one example of how we do things differently. While we 
offer the convenience and security of online and mobile 
banking, we also understand that our customers want the 
benefi ts of an in-person branch – and we strive to offer 
them that balance.

In March 2022, we opened a loan production offi ce in 
Nome, which is an important hub for the people and 
businesses of Northwest Alaska. We planned to open a 
full-service branch in early 2023, however, the devastation 
wreaked by Typhoon Merbok late last year created a 
critical need for banking services in the community. 
Northrim received expedited permission under a disaster 
relief, “regulatory relief exception” from the FDIC to open 

a temporary branch, and departments across the Bank 
quickly came together, accelerating the opening of our 
18th branch. A larger, permanent fi nancial center will 
follow in 2023.

In 2022, we also began construction of a full-service 
fi nancial center in Kodiak, building upon the successful 
presence of the loan production offi ce we opened there in 
March 2020. The Kodiak branch opened in February 2023. 

As part of our infrastructure investments, we also 
completed a Sustainability Master Plan to address the 
infrastructure of our 52-year-old headquarters building 
in Anchorage. Revitalization will include implementing 
energy effi ciencies and the use of renewable resources.

We are committed to proactively 
serving the unique needs of 
Alaskans and the businesses that 
power the Last Frontier.

LEADING GROWTH ACROSS ALASKA
LEADING GROWTH ACROSS ALASKA

In addition to our branch network, we are also growing 
our market share and loan portfolio across Alaska. The 
most recent FDIC deposit market share report for Alaska 
banks shows that Northrim increased its market share 
by 36 percent over the past fi ve years. We are proud to 
be among the few Alaska fi nancial institutions making 
consistent progress in this area. 

We are also steadily growing our loan portfolio with 
high-quality customers in markets across the state. Our 
15 percent core loan growth in 2022 marked the second 
year in a row of double-digit loan growth, while our credit 
quality metrics continued to improve.  

We approach lending with a mindset focused on 
strengthening the state, creatively solving challenges 
and helping businesses thrive. Our participation in 
Alaska’s fi rst Commercial Property Assessed Clean 
Energy (C-PACE) fi nanced project in 2022 is one example. 
Working with a customer, a national lender and the 
Municipality of Anchorage, Northrim was the local lender 
for the state’s fi rst C-PACE loan, which fi nanced the 
retrofi t of a four-story Anchorage offi ce building. With the 
energy-effi ciency upgrades, the building’s energy usage is 
projected to decrease by 42 percent a year.  

Similar to how we responded to the Paycheck Protection 
Program in 2020, our lending team saw the potential 
of the C-PACE program to benefi t our customers and 
community. We dedicated the time to become experts 
in this innovative type of fi nancing, and look forward to 
being a continued leader in developing C-PACE projects 
across Alaska.

We were also proud to be recognized in 2022 by the 
U.S. Small Business Association (SBA) as the 2021 
Alaska Lender of the Year, marking the third year in a 
row the Bank has received either the Alaska Lender of 
the Year or Community Lender of the Year award. This 
award recognizes our commitment to providing fi nancial 
assistance to Alaska’s small business owners.

Our 15 percent loan growth in 
2022 marked the second year in 
a row of double-digit core loan 
growth, while our credit quality 
metrics continued to improve.

A MODEL FOR SUCCESS

Our model of hiring local leaders with relationships in 
the community, expertise in their industry and a shared 
commitment to serving customers has proven to be very 
successful. We have seen signifi cant growth in markets 
across Alaska as our team leverages their knowledge and 
long-term relationships to attract quality customers to the 
Bank. We also continue to earn many customer referrals, 
which have led to a number of businesses moving their 
banking relationship to Northrim.

Another key to our success is monitoring our customers’ 
needs and responding with products and services to help 
them succeed. Our Jump-Up CDs and Treasury Management 
products are two examples of how we work to gain new 
customers and add value to existing ones.

In a rising interest rate environment, we understand that 
customers expect to see more return on their dollars. We 
responded by creating products that incentivize customers to 
keep their deposits at Northrim, while allowing them to take 
advantage of higher rates. 

We also enhanced our Treasury Management products to 
help our business customers increase efficiency, save money 
and combat fraud. We implemented a Commercial Purchase 

Card program designed to increase customers’ efficiency 
and introduced integrated payables, a payment solution that 
streamlines the vendor payment process. 

Our Treasury Management customers are served by a 
dedicated team, and we attracted additional talent to enhance 
service to these businesses and further develop this area of 
the Bank.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022PROVIDING THE BEST TO RETAIN THE BEST
PROVIDING THE BEST TO RETAIN THE BEST

The Bank’s success is closely tied to our employees’ success, 
and we place a high priority on monitoring and responding 
to the needs of our people. Driven by our vision to be an 
employer of choice, we focus on providing the best for our 
employees so we can recruit and retain key performers.

Based on the results of our annual 2022 employee survey, we 
identifi ed and implemented enhanced benefi ts, offering paid 
parental leave, increasing tuition assistance and providing 
a dedicated wellness day for employees to focus on their 
mental and physical health. We also implemented a special 
compensation adjustment to ensure we maintain our vision to 
be Alaska’s premier bank and employer of choice.

We were proud to be recognized by the Alaska Journal 
of Commerce as one of the Best Workplaces in Alaska in 
2022. This external recognition reinforces the fi ndings of our 
employee surveys.

Recognizing the need to draw interest in banking careers, 
develop new talent and provide opportunities for employees 
to grow as the Bank grows, we created the Northrim 
Management Academy and the Commercial Banker Trainee 
Program. Through the year-long Management Academy, 
employees gain knowledge and skills to grow professionally 
and move into leadership positions. The Trainee Program 
offers university students and new Bank hires exposure 
to and experience in the banking industry, with the goal to 
attract the next generation of bankers.

 INC.
TIMBERWOLF VENTURES

“A forward-looking team for small businesses”

The Alaska Shirt Company, housed in a bright, cheery 
building adjacent to the tram terminal at the base of Mount 
Roberts, is one of the fi rst places passengers see as they 
disembark the cruise ships in downtown Juneau, Alaska’s 
capital city.

The store, established in 1995 by Michael Tripp, CEO of 
Timberwolf Ventures, Inc., and his business partners, prides 
itself on sourcing the best souvenirs for the Southeast 
Alaska community’s one million plus annual visitors. 

When rumblings of a pandemic began in early 2020, 
Tripp and his team knew they would need to be proactive 
to protect their tourism-driven business. Working with 
Northrim, “We put together a fi nancial plan/loan package to 
carry our company through this storm and had it buttoned 
up even before the federal, state and local programs came 
into view,” Tripp said. “My goal was to have enough working 
capital to survive a zero-passenger season in 2020 and plan 
for some sort of rebound in 2021. Our loan offi cer, Jaime 
Kissner, and the rest of the Northrim team helped to make 
that a reality.”

“I sincerely doubt that any other bank would have acted as 
quickly and decisively to support a customer like Northrim 
did,” he added. “It is a testament to the forward-thinking that 
this team has when it comes to small businesses.”

The planning paid off. Today, the company is not only back 
in business – it’s growing. In addition to the fl agship Alaska 
Shirt Company, Tripp and his partners also own Trove, 
a high-end gift shop catering to Juneau’s local clientele. 
Construction is also underway on a new building in Juneau’s 
historic district, where a “new concept” Alaska Shirt 
Company will debut in spring 2023. 

“We want to continue making investments and creating 
new businesses in Juneau,” Tripp said. “When you realize 
how many people want to make Juneau their home and 
how locals support quality businesses, it is a testament to 
the power of the local economy even before you consider 
the other fi nancial engine that is tourism. We see many 
opportunities ahead and know that with the power of our 
relationship with Northrim, we should thrive.”

DOING WHAT IS RIGHT
DOING WHAT IS RIGHT

Northrim has been committed to doing what is right for 
our customers, employees, communities and shareholders 
since day one. In September 2022, we formalized our 
commitment with the adoption of an environmental, social 
and governance (ESG) policy. In early 2023, we released 
our second ESG report, which details our hard work and 
achievements in these areas. 

Highlights of the ESG report include community giving, 
which has always been a central part of Northrim’s 
culture. In 2022, we reached a signifi cant milestone: The 
combined giving of the Bank and our employees last year 
exceeded $1 million. This total included $141,000 raised 
for the annual United Way Campaign in support of local 
communities throughout Alaska and Washington state, as 
well as contributions to organizations involved in youth 
development, Alaska Native culture and issues, economic 
development and higher education. 

Employees throughout the Bank, from executive 
management to frontline employees, are also encouraged 
to be active volunteers in their communities. In a return 

to pre-pandemic levels of support, Northrim employees 
volunteered more than 2,100 hours in their local 
communities last year. 

From leading fi nancial literacy classes, to organizing 
food drives, to painting homes as part of an affordable 
housing project, to working with neighborhood schools, our 
employees are involved in a wide variety of activities that 
are near and dear to their hearts. Employees also serve in 
leadership roles with nonprofi t and industry organizations, 
sharing their expertise in the community.

In 2022, we reached a signifi cant 
milestone: The combined giving of 
the Bank and our employees last 
year exceeded $1 million.

LEGACY FUNERAL HOMES
LEGACY FUNERAL HOMES

“Serving others is what I get to do every day”

When Jared Dye purchased six funeral homes in Alaska in 
2006, he knew he had found a way to make a difference. 

“There is something to be said about a family-owned 
business and what it can provide,” said Dye, president and 
owner of Legacy Funeral Homes. “This business can be so 
delicate, it requires the feelings and care of a family-owned 
business.”

Today, Legacy operates 14 funeral homes across Alaska, as 
well as provides cremation services and advance planning 
to Alaskan families. 

“We’ve doubled in size and in the number of families we care 
for and serve. This brings me to why I do what I do: I love 
to serve others. And what a time to be at someone’s side 
to serve them as when they have lost the most important 
person in their lives. Caring and serving others is what I get 
to do every day,” Dye said, adding that as a family-owned 
business, it is not uncommon to see his children working 
alongside him. 

Northrim has had the privilege of helping Legacy grow 
over the years, starting in 2011 when the Bank assisted Dye 
with several business acquisitions. In 2022, Legacy moved 
its entire banking and lending relationship to Northrim. 
In addition to refi nancing existing loans last year, Legacy 
was also the fi rst business to implement Northrim’s new 
Commercial Purchase Card program.

“We have around 50 employees and about 20 credit 
cards are used throughout the state, so there are lots 
of transactions to account for. By working together with 
Northrim, we were the fi rst to use this system. It’s been a 
huge help to us,” Dye said. 

A shared commitment to serving Alaskans is a key reason 
Dye chose to work with Northrim. 

“I believe in Alaska and keeping it strong. I learned from 
the time that I moved here that Northrim believed in Alaska 
too, so I always felt we had this connection,” he said. “When 
I began this latest acquisition, I knew that I wanted a local 
bank to help me through.”

SUBSIDIARIES, DIVISIONS AND AFFILIATES
SUBSIDIARIES, DIVISIONS AND AFFILIATES

In addition to our core community banking activities, 
Northrim has interests in other businesses, including home 
mortgage lending, purchased receivables fi nancing 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 $34.1 million, 
or 26 percent of 2022 revenues, as compared to $52.3 
million, or 39 percent of revenues in 2021. 

Residential Mortgage

Northrim Funding Services

With offi ces throughout Alaska, our wholly-owned 
subsidiary, Residential Mortgage Lending, LLC, provides 
fi nancing and refi nancing for prospective and current 
homeowners. Production decreased in 2022 due to rising 
mortgage interest rates, which more than doubled during 
the year. 

The company took the slowdown as an opportunity to 
position itself for future growth by expanding into new 
areas, opening offi ces and hiring experienced, local loan 
originators in several locations in the Pacifi c Northwest 
and Southwest. Residential Mortgage was able to expand 
in a cost-effective way by using current employees to 
support the production of the new loan originators. 
The company also reviewed and adapted its mortgage 
products, developing new programs to meet the needs of 
homebuyers in the current interest rate environment.

We continue to take advantage of opportunities to 
streamline operations at both Residential Mortgage and 
the Bank, increasing effi ciencies by leveraging expertise 
and merging processes. 

During 2022, Residential Mortgage promoted its Chief 
Operating Offi cer (COO), Mike Baldwin, to the joint position 
of President and COO. 

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 fi nancial solutions to transition customers back to 
other bank lending programs. 

Northrim Funding Services’ activity decreased in 2022 due 
to large amounts of liquidity in the fi nancial system. The 
division contributed $2.0 million to other operating income 
in 2022, compared to $2.3 million in 2021.

We continued to invest in Northrim Funding Services, 
utilizing our information technology team to develop a 
custom, web-based operating system that offers signifi cant 
improvements to workfl ows, integrations, document 
scanning and reporting. The new solution allows Northrim 
Funding Services to scale operations more effi ciently and 
provides a platform for future expansion.

Other operating income contributed $34.1 million, 
or 26 percent of 2022 revenues, as compared to 
$52.3 million, or 39 percent of revenues in 2021.

Northrim Investment Services

Pacifi c Portfolio

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 relevant fi nancial products and services. 

Pacifi c Wealth Advisors is the holding company for Pacifi c 
Portfolio Consulting, LLC, and Pacifi c Portfolio Trust Company 
(Pacifi c Portfolio). Founded in 1992 and part of the Northrim 
family since 2006, Pacifi c Portfolio is an independent wealth 
management and investment advisor serving high-net-worth 
individuals and families, institutions, foundations, and trustee- 
or participant-directed retirement plans in Alaska and the 
Pacifi c Northwest. 

In late 2022, Pacifi c Portfolio fi nalized the acquisition of 
Conway Jarvis, LLC, a Seattle-based fi rm with approximately 
$350 million in assets under advisement. The combined fi rm 
now has approximately $4 billion in assets under advisement. 
The acquisition is part of Pacifi c Portfolio’s strategic plan 
and vision to continue expanding its comprehensive wealth 
management and investment advisory services on an 
independent and multi-generational ownership platform.

The company contributed $168,000 to Northrim’s other 
operating income in 2022, compared to $92,000 in 2021.

SHARED VALUES, CARING CULTURE
CUSTOMER FIRST SERVICE AWARD

We continue to be inspired and motivated by the stories of our Customer First Service Award winners, who are

Financial Snapshot Endnotes:
1  These unaudited schedules provide selected fi nancial information concerning the Company that should be read in conjunction with Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and 

Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the 2022 Form 10-K.

2  Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP ratio 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 effect of intangible assets on the Company’s equity. See 
reconciliation to book value per share, the most comparable GAAP measurement included in the 2022 Form 10-K.

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

intangible assets. Management believes this ratio is important as it has received more attention 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. See reconciliation to shareholders’ 
equity to total assets included in the 2022 Form 10-K.

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

equivalent basis using a combined federal and state statutory rate of 28.43% in 2018 through 2022 and 41.11% in 2017. 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 effectiveness in growing 
higher interest yielding assets and managing our costs of interest bearing liabilities over time on a fully tax equivalent basis. See reconciliation to net interest margin, the 
comparable GAAP measurement included in the 2022 Form 10-K.

5  In managing our business, we review the effi ciency ratio exclusive of intangible asset amortization, which is a non-GAAP performance measurement. Management believes 
that this is a useful fi nancial measurement because we believe this presentation provides investors with a more accurate picture of our operating effi ciency. The effi ciency 
ratio is calculated by dividing other operating expense, exclusive of intangible asset amortization, by the sum of net interest income and other operating income. Other 
companies may defi ne or calculate this data differently. For additional information see the “Other Operating Expense” section in Part II. Item 7 “Management’s Discussion 
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the 2022 Form 10-K. See reconciliation to comparable GAAP measurement included in the 2022 Form 10-K.

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 reduction 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, resulting in approximately a $2.7 million increase in tax expense. In 
2018, the Company fi nalized changes related to the reduction in the federal tax rate which resulted in a $470,000 reduction in tax expense.

7  Number of banking offi ces does not include RML locations. 2022 number of banking offi ces includes 18 full service branches and 1 loan production offi ce. 2021 number of 

banking offi ces includes 17 full service branches and 1 loan production offi ce. 2020 number of banking offi ces includes 16 full service branches and 1 loan production offi ce. 
2018 number of banking offi ces includes 15 full service branches and 1 loan production offi ce.

8  FTE includes 336, 321, 312, 311, 320, and 314 Community Banking employees in 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. FTE includes 133, 130, 126, 120, 110, and 

115 Home Mortgage Lending employees in 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
