Denver, Colo., July 23, 2020 – First Western Financial, Inc., (“First Western” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: MYFW), today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.
Net income available to common shareholders was $8.7 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2020. This compares to $1.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2020, and $1.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019.
Scott C. Wylie, CEO of First Western, commented, “Our second quarter performance – which represents a record level of net income and earnings per share for the Company – reflects our inherent advantages in managing through the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Given our conservatively underwritten loan portfolio with minimal exposure to the industries most impacted by the crisis, we have seen generally stable asset quality and a relatively low level of projected losses. In addition to tightening credit underwriting and pricing, we have increased our loan level reviews and portfolio monitoring. We have also benefited from the strong demand for mortgage refinancing, which resulted in the highest level of residential mortgage originations and gain on mortgages sold income in our history. In addition, we were able to significantly reduce our cost of deposits, which helped us to maintain a relatively stable net interest margin despite a decline in earning asset yields due to the drop in prevailing interest rates and low contractual rates on PPP loans.
In the second quarter, we posted strong organic growth while also producing a high level of PPP loans and closing early on a branch acquisition, with four locations in metro Denver, all while working remotely. Net loans, excluding PPP and acquired loans, grew 26.4% and net deposits, excluding PPP and acquired deposits, grew 34.2% annualized over the prior quarter.
We have continued to actively support our communities through the origination of PPP loans. Through June 30, we had $204.6 million in loans funded for both existing and new clients through the PPP. Our productivity in the PPP program has helped drive substantial growth in both loans and deposits, accelerating our efforts to gain scale and realize improved operating efficiencies.
In May, we completed our branch purchase and assumption agreement ahead of schedule, which provided substantial economic benefits to the Company. The integration of our new associates and clients has gone very smoothly as both loan and deposit balances have grown from closing to June 30, 2020, and we continue to expect this transaction to be significantly accretive to future earnings.
While the ongoing pandemic creates a great deal of uncertainty, we believe we are well positioned to see a continuation of our strong performance in the second half of the year. Mortgage demand remains robust, we have a healthy pipeline of quality lending opportunities outside of PPP, and we expect to begin realizing the synergies from the branch acquisition. We believe this combination will result in a strong level of earnings, further increases in our tangible book value per share, and additional value being created for our shareholders,” said Mr. Wylie.

Operating Results for the Second Quarter 2020
Revenue
Gross revenue (1) was $26.2 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared to $16.7 million for the first quarter of 2020. The increase in revenue was driven by a $7.7 million increase in non-interest income, primarily due to higher mortgage segment activity, as well as a $1.9 million increase in net interest income.
Relative to the second quarter of 2019, gross revenue increased $9.7 million from $16.5 million. The increase was due to growth in net interest income and net gain on mortgage loans resulting from increased mortgage activity.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the second quarter of 2020 was $10.8 million, an increase of 20.9% from $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2020. The increase in net interest income was driven by three primary factors: $0.7 million related to the branch acquisition, $0.6 million from PPP loans and $0.6 million from higher average loan balances attributed to organic growth as well as a stable net interest margin.
3
Relative to the second quarter of 2019, net interest income increased 35.6% from $8.0 million. The year-over-year increase in net interest income was due primarily to growth in average loans including the impact of PPP loans and the branch acquisition.
We expect net income related to the PPP program to result in $2.4 million of additional interest income related to the fees from the Small Business Administration for participation in PPP less the loan origination fees on these loans. The current amortization of this income is being recognized over a two-year period, however we expect much of that income to be recognized in the second half of 2020 as the borrowers are granted forgiveness.
Net Interest Margin
Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2020 decreased slightly to 3.10% from 3.14% in the first quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by a 46 basis point decline in the yield on earning assets, which was partially offset by a 48 basis point decline in the cost of deposits. On a net basis, the impact of the PPP program resulted in the second quarter net interest margin decreasing by approximately 12 basis points.
Relative to the second quarter of 2019, the net interest margin was unchanged from 3.10%.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2020 was $15.4 million, an increase of 98.6% from $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2020. The increase was attributable to an increase in net gain on mortgage loans as a result of record volume of mortgages locked and originated in the quarter. We originated $344.3 million of mortgage loans for sale during the quarter compared to $196.9 million the previous quarter, an increase of $147.4 million.
Relative to the second quarter of 2019, non-interest income increased 79.7% from $8.6 million. The increase was primarily attributable to higher net gains on mortgage loans as a result of a higher volume of mortgages and improving margins.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2020 was $12.6 million, a decrease of 13.7% from $14.6 million for the first quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower salaries and benefits expense resulting from $2.9 million in loan origination expenses related to PPP loans that were deferred in the period and will be amortized through net interest income over the expected 24-month life of the loans, if not earlier, as the borrowers are granted forgiveness. This was offset by $0.3 million of acquisition related expenses incurred during the second quarter of 2020 as well as an increase in incentive compensation accruals correlating with the increase in revenues and earnings.
Non-interest expense decreased 13.7% from $14.7 million in the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower salaries and employee benefits expense resulting from the capitalization of the PPP loan origination expenses. Non-interest expense in the second quarter of 2019 included a $1.6 million goodwill impairment charge.
Including the impacts of PPP, mortgage earnings, and the acquisition related costs, the Company’s efficiency ratio was 48.1% in the second quarter of 2020, compared with 84.4% in the first quarter of 2020 and 78.2% in the second quarter of 2019.

Income Taxes
The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2020, representing an effective tax rate of 24.1%, compared to 20.8% for the first quarter of 2020. The increase in effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2020 was primarily attributable to increased earnings.
Loan Portfolio
Total loans including mortgage loans held for sale were $1.49 billion at June 30, 2020, an increase of $387.2 million from the end of the prior quarter, and an increase of $519.5 million from June 30, 2019. The increase in total loans was attributable to $191.7 million added through PPP loan originations and $123.8 million in period end balances which were added through the branch acquisition, including PPP loans acquired, with the remaining $71.7 million increase being attributable to organic growth.
Prior to the completion of the branch acquisition, our internal credit department and management reviewed large loans as well as loans that were modified due to the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of this increased degree of review, the Bank purchased only performing loans that we believe to be of high quality as of the closing of the acquisition. No loans purchased were designated as purchase credit impaired.
Total loans held for investment, was $1.42 billion at June 30, 2020, an increase of 36.6% from $1.04 billion at March 31, 2020, and an increase of 51.8% from $938.0 million at June 30, 2019. The increase in total loans held for investment from March 31, 2020 was primarily due to growth in the commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, and construction portfolios along with an increase in the cash, securities and other portfolio driven by the PPP loans.
Deposits
Total deposits were $1.41 billion at June 30, 2020, compared to $1.18 billion at March 31, 2020, and $1.01 billion at June 30, 2019. The increase in total deposits from March 31, 2020 was attributable to $65.2 million
5
added through the branch acquisition, $62.4 million inflows related to funding the PPP loans, with the remaining $100.9 million increase being attributable to organic growth.
Average total deposits for the second quarter of 2020 increased $342.0 million, or 35.4%, from the second quarter of 2019.
Borrowings
Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve borrowings were $222.3 million at June 30, 2020, compared to $10.0 million at March 31, 2020 an increase of $212.3 million from the end of the prior quarter. The increase is attributable to participation in the Paycheck Protection Program Loan Facility from the Federal Reserve during the quarter in the amount of $204.3 million. Borrowing from this facility is expected to match fund the balances of the PPP loans. The remaining $8.0 million increase was a result of additional advances from FHLB.
Assets Under Management
Total assets under management increased by $115.9 million during the second quarter to $5.75 billion at June 30, 2020, compared to $5.64 billion at March 31, 2020, and $5.97 billion at June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to customer contributions to existing accounts and improving market conditions.
Credit Quality
Non-performing assets totaled $12.1 million, or 0.67% of total assets, at June 30, 2020, compared with $11.1 million, or 0.82% of total assets, at March 31, 2020.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a loan modification program was designed and implemented to assist our clients experiencing financial stress resulting from the economic impacts caused by the global pandemic. The Company offered loan extensions, temporary payment moratoriums, and financial covenant waivers for commercial and consumer borrowers impacted by the pandemic who had a pass risk rating and had not been delinquent over 30 days on payments in the last two years.
At June 30, 2020, the Company had entered into loan modification agreements on ninety-eight loans across multiple industries in the amount of $176.9 million. Most of the temporary payment moratoriums are for a period of 180 days or less and the Company is recognizing interest income on these loans. At June 30, 2020, accrued interest increased $2.4 million as a result of payment moratoriums related to loan modifications. The Company continues to meet regularly with clients who could be more highly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company receives and reviews current financial data and cash flow forecasts from borrowers with loan modification agreements.
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2020, primarily based on the additional variability surrounding the loan modifications made during the quarter and increased economic uncertainty. The Company has increased loan level reviews and portfolio monitoring to address the changing environment.
