NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Critical Accounting Policies

Organization and Nature of business - First Northwest Bancorp, a Washington corporation, became the holding company of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles on January 29, 2015, upon completion of the Bank's conversion from a mutual to stock form of organization (the "Conversion"). 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.

Pursuant to the Bank's Plan of Conversion (the "Plan") adopted by its Board of Directors, and as approved by its members, the Company established an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP"). On December 18, 2015, the ESOP completed its open market purchases, with funds borrowed from the Company, of 8% of the common stock issued in the Conversion for a total of 1,048,029 shares.

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 unaudited 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.

Basis of presentation - The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KT for the six months ended December 31, 2017 . In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been included. The Company changed its fiscal year from June 30 to December 31 effective December 31, 2017. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods.

In preparing the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. 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 ("ALLL"), mortgage servicing rights, fair value of financial instruments, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the valuation of impaired loans.

Principles of consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Northwest Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, First Federal. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Subsequent Events - The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure and determined there are no such events or transactions requiring recognition or disclosure.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements - In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . In August 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date , which postponed the effective date of 2014-09. Subsequently, in March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from

FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations . This amendment clarifies that an entity should determine if it is the principal or the agent for each specified good or service promised in a contract with a customer. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing . The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity must recognize revenue when it has satisfied a performance obligation of transferring promised goods or services to a customer. In general, the new guidance requires companies to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. These standards were effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has analyzed its revenue sources of noninterest income to determine when the satisfaction of the performance obligation occurs and the appropriate recognition of revenue. The adoption of these ASUs did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company did not identify any significant changes in the timing of revenue recognition when considering the amended accounting guidance since it is consistent with the Company’s current accounting policy for contracts.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. In addition, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose the fair value of financial instruments using the exit price notion. Exit price is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The amendments in this ASU were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has used the exit price notion in the fair value disclosure of financial instruments in Note 9 of this report. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments . The ASU provides specific guidance on eight classification issues in order to achieve more consistent reporting. The amendments in this ASU were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not currently have items on its cash flow statement that were impacted by adoption of this ASU and therefore adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities . The ASU shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium using the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2017-08 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting . This ASU provides clarity on the guidance related to stock compensation when there have been changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. The ASU provides the three following criteria must be met in order to not account for the effect of the modification of terms or conditions: the fair value, the vesting conditions and the classification as an equity or liability instrument of the modified award is the same as the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The amendments in this ASU were effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has not had any modifications on share-based payment awards and therefore the adoption of ASU 2017-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740) . This ASU was issued to provide guidance on the income tax accounting implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and allows for entities to report provisional amounts for specific income tax effects of the Act for which the accounting under Topic 740 was not yet complete but a reasonable

estimate could be determined. A measurement period of one-year is allowed to complete the accounting effects under Topic 740 and revise any previous estimates reported. Any provisional amounts or subsequent adjustments included in an entity’s financial statements during the measurement period should be included in income from continuing operations as an adjustment to tax expense in the reporting period the amounts are determined. The Company adopted this ASU with the provisional adjustments as reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements on Form 10-KT as of December 31, 2017. As of September 30, 2018 , the Company did not incur any adjustments to the provisional recognition.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

Lease Accounting

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 principal change required by this ASU relates to lessee accounting, and is that for operating leases, a lessee is required to (1) recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position, (2) recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis, and (3) classify all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ASU 2016-02 also changes disclosure requirements related to leasing activities, and requires certain qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2016-02 are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application of the amendments in ASU 2016-02 is permitted. Once adopted, we expect to report higher assets and liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as a result of including right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to certain banking offices and certain equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements, which currently are not reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not expect the guidance to have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income or Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity. ASU 2016-02 initially provided for one retrospective transition method; however a second transition method was later added with ASU 2018-11 which permits companies to utilize certain practical expedients.

In July 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases . These amendments provide minor clarifications and corrections to ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) .

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements . The amendments in this ASU provide entities with an additional optional transition method to adopt ASU 2016-02. Under this new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, an entity’s reporting under this additional transition method for the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in which it adopts the new leases standard would continue to be in accordance with current GAAP (Topic 840, Leases ).

The Company will adopt ASU 2016-02 (as amended by subsequent ASUs) effective January 1, 2019 utilizing the new transition method described in ASU 2018-11 and will avail itself of practical expedients. As a lessee, the Company is party to several office leases with future payment obligations including all available extensions aggregating approximately $9 million at September 30, 2018 for which the Company expects to record right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments upon adoption of ASU 2016-02. As lessee, the Company expects to apply the following practical expedients in the implementation ASU 2016-02: (i) to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component as described above and (ii) to not apply the right-of-use recognition requirements to short-term leases.

Other Accounting Topics

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Loss , which updates the guidance on recognition and measurement of credit losses for financial assets. The new requirements, known as the current expected credit loss model (CECL) will require entities to adopt an impairment model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon adoption, the Company will change processes and procedures to calculate the allowance for loan losses, including changes in assumptions and estimates to consider expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. In addition, the current accounting policy and procedures for other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities available for sale will be replaced with an allowance approach. At this time, we do not anticipate an increase to the ALLL as a result of the implementation of this ASU based on the preliminary review and testing of different models being evaluated. The Company has formed an internal project management team which will coordinate and monitor implementation progress, work with our third-party vendor, and implement changes to processes and procedures to ensure the Company is fully compliant with the amendments at the adoption date.

In August 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). This ASU was issued to provide investors better insight to an entity’s risk management hedging strategies by permitting companies to recognize the economic results of its hedging strategies in its financial statements. The amendments in this ASU permit hedge accounting for hedging relationships involving 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 is not expected to 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. The Company does not believe that this guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated financial 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. The Company is currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

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 is effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on its 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 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 anticipates complying with these new requirements beginning with its 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reclassifications - Certain amounts in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current unaudited 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 other than temporarily impaired ("OTTI"). At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , there were 75 and 63 investment securities in an unrealized loss position, respectively.

We believe that the unrealized losses on our 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 .

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.

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

Credit quality indicator. Federal regulations provide for the classification of lower quality loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities, as substandard, doubtful, or loss; risk ratings 6, 7, and 8 in our 8-point risk rating system, respectively. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and pay capacity of the borrower or of any collateral pledged. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that First Federal will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, on the 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 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 do 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.

Troubled debt restructuring. A TDR is a loan to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty that has been modified from its original terms and conditions in such a way that First Federal is granting the borrower a concession of some kind. First Federal has granted a variety of concessions to borrowers in the form of loan modifications. The modifications are generally related to the loan's interest rate, term and payment amount or a combination thereof.

Upon identifying a receivable as a TDR loan, First Federal classifies the loan as impaired for purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses. This requires the loan to initially be evaluated individually for impairment, generally based on the expected cash flows under the new terms discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rates. For TDR loans that subsequently default, the method of determining impairment is generally the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs.

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

Note 5 - Federal Taxes on Income

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.

Under current Federal income tax regulations, charitable contribution deductions are limited to 10% of taxable income. Due to this limitation, the Company currently has a valuation allowance of $1.2 million for financial statement reporting purposes related to its contribution to the Foundation. The contribution carryforward and related valuation allowance will expire in 2020. 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.

Effective January 1, 2018, the corporate U.S. statutory federal income tax rate was reduced from 35% to 21% under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company completed its accounting under ASC 740 in December 2017 for all material deferred tax assets and liabilities with provisional amounts recorded for immaterial items. No adjustments were made to provisional amounts during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , and none are anticipated during the one year SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 measurement period.

The effective tax rates were 18.6% and 21.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The effective tax rates differ from the statutory maximum federal tax rate for 2018 and 2017 of 21% and 35%, respectively, largely due to the nontaxable earnings on bank owned life insurance and tax-exempt interest income earned on certain investment securities and loans.

Note 6 - Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is 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. In addition, nonvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share.

Potential dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of EPS if their effect is anti-dilutive. Restricted stock award anti-dilutive shares of 916 and 2,718 at September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS.

Note 7 - Employee Benefits

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

In connection with the Conversion, the Company established an ESOP for eligible employees of the Company and the Bank. Employees of the Company and the Bank who have been credited with at least 1,000 hours of service during a 12 -month period are eligible to participate in the ESOP.

Pursuant to the Plan, the ESOP purchased shares in the open market 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% . 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. An annual principal and interest payment of $835,000 was made by the ESOP during the nine months ended September 30, 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 are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unallocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued interest.

Compensation expense related to the ESOP for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , was $214,000 and $210,000 , respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 compensation expense related to the ESOP was $651,000 and $605,000 , respectively.

Note 8 - Stock-based Compensation

On November 16, 2015 , the Company's shareholders approved the First Northwest Bancorp 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2015 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 2015 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 2015 EIP is 1,834,050 . The 2015 EIP provides for the use of authorized but unissued shares or shares that have been reacquired by First Northwest to fund share-based awards. At September 30, 2018 , there were 1,361,550 total shares available for grant under the 2015 EIP, including 117,014 shares available to be granted as restricted stock.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , 20,000 shares of restricted stock were awarded and no stock options were granted. There were 50,000 shares of restricted stock awarded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 . 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 three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , total compensation expense for the 2015 EIP was $256,000 and $321,000 , respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , total compensation expense for the 2015 EIP was $788,000 and $788,000 , respectively.

Included in the above compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , was directors' compensation of $86,000 and $98,000 , respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , directors' compensation was $256,000 and $292,000 , respectively.

Note 9 - 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.

FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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 and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis - Assets and liabilities are considered to be fair valued on a recurring basis if fair value is measured regularly (i.e., daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly). The following tables show the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at the dates indicated:

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

Financial assets and liabilities other than investment securities are not traded in active markets. Estimated fair values require subjective judgments and are approximate. The estimates of fair value in the previous table are not necessarily representative of amounts that could be realized in actual market transactions, or of the underlying value of the Company. The methods and assumptions used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments as set forth below in accordance with ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments , as amended by ASU 2016-01 requiring public entities to use the exit price notion effective January 1, 2018, are as follows:

Financial instruments with a carrying amount equal to fair value - The fair value of financial instruments that are short-term or reprice frequently and that have little or no risk are considered to have a fair value equal to the carrying amount. These instruments include cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits with banks, FHLB stock, accrued interest receivable, and accrued interest payable. FHLB stock is not publicly traded, however, it may be redeemed on a dollar-for-dollar basis, for any amount the Bank is not required to hold, subject to the FHLB's discretion. The fair value is therefore equal to the carrying amount.

Securities - Fair values for investment securities are primarily measured using information from a third-party pricing service. The pricing service uses pricing models based on market data. In the event that limited or less transparent information is provided by the third-party pricing service, fair value is estimated using secondary pricing services or non-binding third-party broker quotes.

Loans held for sale - The fair value of loans held for sale is based on quoted market prices from Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"), which are updated daily and represent prices at which loans are exchanged in high volumes and in a liquid market.

Loans receivable, net - At September 30, 2018 , the fair value of loans and leases is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rate at which similar loans and leases would be made to borrowers with similar credit and for the same remaining maturities. Additionally, to be consistent with the requirements under FASB ASC Topic 820 for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the loans and leases were valued at a price that represents the Company’s exit price or the price at which these instruments would be sold or transferred.

Loans were segregated by type, including fixed and variable one- to four-family residential real estate, commercial, and consumer loans. There is an accurate and reliable secondary market for one- to four-family residential mortgage production, and available market benchmarks are used to establish discount factors for estimating fair value for these types of loans. Commercial and consumer loans use market benchmarks when available; however, due to the varied term structures and credit issues involved, they mainly rely on cash flow projections and repricing characteristics within the loan portfolio. These amounts are discounted further by embedded probable losses expected to be realized in the portfolio.

Mortgage servicing rights, net - The estimated fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.

Deposits - The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing deposits, savings and interest checking accounts, and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 . The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Borrowings - The fair value of FHLB advances and other borrowings are calculated using a discounted cash flow method, adjusted for market interest rates and terms to maturity.

Off-balance-sheet financial instruments - Commitments to extend credit represent all off-balance-sheet financial instruments. The fair value of these commitments is not significant.

Note 10 - Noninterest Income

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the amendments of ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606. The Company has included the following table regarding the Company’s noninterest income for the periods presented.

FIRST NORTHWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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.

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.

Note 11 - Subsequent Event

On October 24, 2018, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per common share, payable December 14, 2018 to shareholders of record at the close of business November 30, 2018.

General

First Northwest Bancorp (or the "Company") is a bank holding company which primarily engages in the business activity of its subsidiary, First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles ("First Federal" or the "Bank"). First Federal is a community-oriented financial institution serving Western Washington State. Our thirteen banking locations include ten full-service banking offices, two banking locations primarily serving our customers through the use of Interactive Teller Machines ("ITM"), and a Home Lending Center ("HLC"), which is focused on the origination of loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties. We have five branch offices and two ITM locations in Clallam County, two branch offices in Kitsap County, two branch offices in Whatcom County, a branch office in Jefferson County, and our HLC is located in Seattle, in King County. Our business and operating strategy is focused on diversifying our loan portfolio through geographic expansion and loan product mix, expanding our deposit product offerings by upgrading existing services and increasing our use of technology, and enhancing our infrastructure to support our changing lending and deposit capabilities in order to position ourselves for growth.

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, as well as engaging in indirect auto lending and auto loan purchase 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 we may retain select loans in our portfolio to enhance interest income. We offer traditional consumer and business deposit products, including transaction accounts, savings and money market accounts and certificates of deposit for individuals, businesses and nonprofit organizations. Deposits are our primary source of funds for our lending and investing activities.

First Federal is significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions as well as government policies and regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions. Deposit flows are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing time deposits, available alternative investments, account maturities, and the overall level of personal income and savings. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for funds, the number and quality of lenders, and regional economic cycles.

Our primary source of pre-tax income is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on our loans and investments and interest expense paid on our deposits and borrowings. Changes in levels of interest rates affect our net interest income. A secondary source of income is noninterest income, which includes revenue we receive from providing products and services, including service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage banking income, earnings from bank-owned life insurance, and gains and losses from sales of securities.

An offset to net interest income is the provision for loan losses, which represents the periodic charge to operations which is required to adequately provide for probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio. As a loan's risk rating improves, property values increase, or recoveries of amounts previously charged off are received, a recapture of previously recognized provision for loan losses may be added to net interest income.

The noninterest expenses we incur in operating our business consist of salaries and employee benefits and expenses, occupancy and equipment expenses, federal deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments, data processing expenses, expenses related to real estate and personal property owned and other miscellaneous expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies

There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KT for the six months ended December 31, 2017 .

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017

Assets . Total assets increased $22.1 million , or 1.8% , to $1.24 billion at September 30, 2018 , from $1.22 billion at December 31, 2017 , primarily due to loan growth partially offset by sales and repayment activity of investment securities.

Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased $59.7 million to $845.8 million at September 30, 2018 , from $786.1 million at December 31, 2017 , a result of new loan originations partially offset by loan sales coupled with normal amortization and prepayment activity. Commercial real estate, auto and other consumer, and multi-family loans increased $36.5 million , $41.9 million , and $11.5 million , respectively, while one- to four-family residential and construction and land loans decreased $18.7 million and $11.9 million , respectively. We continue to grow the auto loan portfolio through our indirect lending and specialty auto loan purchasing programs, adding $47.9 million of newly originated auto loans during the year, which was the main contributor to the increase in auto and other consumer loans.

Construction and land loans decreased 16.7% to $59.2 million at September 30, 2018 , from $71.1 million at December 31, 2017 , of which $20.2 million converted to amortizing loans. We continue to focus on construction loan origination activity during the year. The majority of our construction loans are geographically disbursed throughout the Puget Sound region and, as a result, these loans are susceptible to risks that may be different depending on the location of the project. We manage all of our construction lending by utilizing a licensed third party vendor to assist us in monitoring our construction projects.

The following tables show our construction commitments by type and geographic concentrations at the dates indicated:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , the Company originated $213.2 million of loans, of which $142.5 million , or 66.9% , were originated in the Puget Sound region of Washington, $67.6 million , or 31.7% , in the North Olympic Peninsula, and $3.1 million , or 1.4% , in other areas in Washington.

Our allowance for loan losses increased $575,000 , or 6.6% , to $9.3 million at September 30, 2018 , from $8.8 million at December 31, 2017 . The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans remained at 1.1% at both September 30, 2018 , and December 31, 2017 .

Nonperforming loans increased $938,000 , or 61.1% , to $2.5 million at September 30, 2018 , from $1.5 million at December 31, 2017 , mainly attributable to a commercial business loan of $563,000 and one- to four-family loans of $494,000 . Nonperforming loans to total loans increased to 0.3% at September 30, 2018 , from 0.2% at December 31, 2017 , and the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans decreased to 377.5% at September 30, 2018 , from 570.7% at December 31, 2017 . Classified loans decreased $3.0 million to $3.7 million at September 30, 2018 , from $6.7 million at December 31, 2017 .

At September 30, 2018 , there were $3.9 million in restructured loans, of which $3.8 million were performing in accordance with their modified payment terms and returned to accrual status.

Our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.1% at both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 . Provision for loan losses was taken during the year to provide for specific reserves related to nonperforming loans as well as loan growth during the year. Also during the year, management changed a qualitative factor in its allowance for loan loss calculations which resulted in the application of unallocated reserves to individual loan categories, providing for a more precise allocation of the general reserves for loan losses. There was no material change in our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans during the year due to continued overall strong asset quality and minimal net loan charge-offs. Fluctuations in the balance of nonperforming assets and other credit quality measures are expected as we increase the balance of our loan portfolio. We believe that changes in our credit metrics over the past year were normal fluctuations and not an indication of declining credit quality in our loan portfolio as a whole

and that our allowance for loan losses was adequate to absorb the known and inherent risks of loss in the loan portfolio as of September 30, 2018 .

Total investment securities decreased $29.4 million , or 8.6% , to $311.0 million at September 30, 2018 , from $340.4 million at December 31, 2017 . During the year, we sold approximately $59.3 million and purchased $ 62.8 million of both variable and fixed rate securities to take advantage of market opportunities to improve yields and manage interest rate risk and liquidity positions. Investment securities sales included $2.7 million of held to maturity investments that had substantially reached maturity, allowing us to sell certain securities without tainting the remaining held to maturity securities portfolio and avoid any negative market value adjustments through other comprehensive income. Investment securities comprised 25.1% of total assets at September 30, 2018 , and we will continue to evaluate investment opportunities that would allow us to prudently leverage capital and improve earnings while also continuing to focus on growing our loan portfolio and improving our earning asset mix over the long term. The average repricing term of our investment securities portfolio was estimated at 4.0 years at both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , based on the interest rate environment at those times.

Mortgage-backed securities represent the largest portion of our investment securities portfolio and totaled $187.8 million at September 30, 2018 , a decrease during the quarter of $13.1 million , or 6.5% , from $200.9 million at December 31, 2017 . Other investment securities, including municipal bonds and other asset-backed securities, were $123.3 million at September 30, 2018 , a decrease of $16.3 million from $139.5 million at December 31, 2017 . The investment portfolio, including mortgage-backed securities, had an estimated projected average life of 5.4 years as of September 30, 2018 , and 5.3 years as of December 31, 2017 , based on the interest rate environment at those times. The investment portfolio contains 91.5% of amortizing securities compared to 85.0% at December 31, 2017 , and the projected average life of our securities may vary due to prepayment activity, which, particularly in the mortgage-backed securities portfolio, is generally affected by changing interest rates. Management continues to focus on improving the mix of earning assets by originating loans and decreasing securities as a percentage of earning assets; however, we may purchase investment securities as a source of additional interest income and also in lieu of carrying higher cash balances at nominal interest rates. For additional information, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Liabilities. Total liabilities decreased $27.3 million , or 2.6% , to $1.07 billion at September 30, 2018 , from $1.04 billion at December 31, 2017 , primarily the result of a decrease in FHLB borrowings. FHLB borrowings decreased $22.6 million , or 15.7% , to $121.5 million at September 30, 2018 , from $144.1 million at December 31, 2017 . During the year, we had a net decrease in FHLB short-term advances of $69.1 million and utilized additional FHLB overnight borrowings of $46.5 million . We continue to utilize both FHLB short-term advances and FHLB overnight borrowings to manage our daily cash flow needs and manage liquidity.

Deposit balances increased $46.6 million , or 5.3% , to $931.6 million at September 30, 2018 , from $885.0 million at December 31, 2017 , which was due to an increases in business accounts of $36.7 million and personal accounts of $9.9 million . A $3.3 million decrease in transaction accounts was partially offset by increases of $15.8 million in money market accounts, $22.2 million in savings accounts, and $11.9 million in certificates of deposit. Total transaction, savings, and money market account deposits increased $34.7 million , or 5.4% , to $680.4 million at September 30, 2018 , from $645.8 million at December 31, 2017 . We compete with other financial institutions and financial intermediaries in attracting deposits in our market areas. We believe strong competition for deposits will continue, especially given the increase in interest rates driving customers to seek higher-yielding deposit accounts. We strive to develop innovative product and pricing combinations to attract and retain deposits during the current rising rate environment, understanding that we have a valuable core deposit base helping to keep our costs lower than some of our peers.

Equity . Total shareholders' equity decreased $5.1 million , or 2.9% , to $171.9 million at September 30, 2018 , mainly the result of a $4.3 million decrease in value of our available for sale securities portfolio resulting in additional unrealized losses and decreases in additional paid-in capital of $6.9 million from the repurchase of shares of common stock, partially offset by net income of $5.0 million . During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , we repurchased 423,213 shares of common stock at an average cost of $16.37 per share, or $6.9 million, pursuant to the Company's stock repurchase plan.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

General. Net income increased $153,000 , or 8.6% , to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 , compared to net income of $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 . The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in net interest income partially offset by increases in noninterest expense and the provision for loan losses.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $802,000 to $9.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 , from $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , mainly as the result of an increase in interest income related to an increase in the average balance of loans receivable during the three months ended September 30, 2018 , offset by a decrease in the average balance of investment securities. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased 26 basis points to 4.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 , compared to 3.79% for the same period in the prior year, due primarily to the increase in the average balance of loans receivable earning higher yields than other interest-bearing assets and improving the margin over interest-bearing liabilities.

The net interest margin increased five basis points to 3.25% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 , from 3.20% for the same period in 2017 . The net interest margin increased primarily due to an increase in the average income on interest-earning assets.

The $802,000 increase in net interest income during the three months ended September 30, 2018 , compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017 , was due to a combination of an increase of $833,000 as a result of an increase in volume, and a decrease of $31,000 due to changes in rates. The increase in loans receivable was the main contributor to the increase in net interest income with $1.1 million due to an increase in average volumes and $248,000 due to increases in rates.

The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 1.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 , compared to 0.79% for the same period last year, due primarily to increases in the average balance and cost of certificates of deposit and an increase in the average balance of borrowings.

Interest Income. Total interest income increased $1.5 million , or 15.1% , to $11.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 , from $10.0 million for the comparable period in 2017 , primarily due to an increase in the average balance of and yields earned on loans receivable. Interest and fees on loans receivable increased $1.3 million , to $9.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 , from $7.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , due primarily to an increase in the average balance of net loans receivable of $99.0 million compared to the prior year. Average loan yields increased 12 basis points to 4.48% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017 , as we continued to increase our balance of higher yielding loans, such as commercial real estate and multi-family loans as well as an increase in consumer lending as a result of our indirect and purchased auto loan programs. We also benefited from increases in short-term interest rates on our adjustable rate loans, such as construction, commercial business, and home equity lines of credit.

Interest income on investment securities increased $187,000 , or 24.4% to $952,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 , compared to $765,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , due to an $11.2 million increase in the average balance and a 36 basis points increase in the average yield during the quarter, compared to the same period in 2017 . 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 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 decreased $84,000 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017 , reflecting an increase in yield of 21 basis points that was offset by a $28.9 million decrease in the average balance.

During the three months ended September 30, 2018 , the cost of certificates of deposit increased due to an increase in average balance of $29.2 million and an increase in the average rate paid of 44 basis points, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017 . During the three months ended September 30, 2018 , there were increases in the average balance of savings accounts of $15.3 million and money market accounts of $22.4 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The average cost of all deposit products increased to 0.78% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 , from 0.52% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , as we paid higher rates to attract new and retain existing deposit balances and customer relationships during the quarter. Borrowing costs increased due primarily to an increase in the average balance of borrowings of $6.2 million , or 6.1% , and an increase in the average rate paid of 30 basis points as we utilized short-term FHLB advances to fund our operations and purchase additional interest-earning assets.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

General. Net income decreased $77,000 , or 1.5% , to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , compared to net income of $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . The decrease in net income was primarily due to an increase in noninterest expense coupled with a decrease in noninterest income and an increase in the provision loan losses, partially offset by an increase net interest income and a decrease in the provision for income taxes.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $2.3 million to $27.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , from $25.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , mainly as the result of an increase in interest income related to an increase in the average balance of loans receivable during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , supplemented by an increase in the average balance of investment securities. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased 15 basis points to 3.94% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , compared to 3.79% for the same period in the prior year, due primarily to the increase in the average balance of loans receivable.

The net interest margin decreased three basis points to 3.21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , from 3.24% for the same period in 2017 . The net interest margin decreased primarily due to an increase in the average cost of interest bearing-liabilities.

Of the $2.3 million increase in net interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , $2.1 million was the result of an increase in volume, and $177,000 was due to changes in rates. The increase in loans receivable was the main contributor to the increase in net interest income with $3.0 million due to an increase in average volumes and $541,000 due to increases in rates.

The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 0.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , compared to 0.74% for the same period last year, due primarily to increases in the average balance and cost of certificates of deposit and an increase in the average balance of borrowings.

Interest Income. Total interest income increased $4.3 million , or 14.6% , to $33.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , from $29.4 million for the comparable period in 2017 , primarily due to an

increase in the average balance of and yields earned on loans receivable. Interest and fees on loans receivable increased $3.5 million , to $26.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , from $23.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , due primarily to an increase in the average balance of net loans receivable of $91.3 million compared to the prior year. Average loan yields increased nine basis points to 4.42% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , as we continued to increase our balance of higher yielding loans, such as auto, commercial real estate and multi-family. We also benefited from increases in short-term interest rates on our adjustable rate loans, such as commercial business and home equity lines of credit.

Interest income on investment securities increased $733,000 , or 35.7% to $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , compared to $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , due to a $36.4 million increase in the average balance, partially offset by a decrease in average yield of 10 basis points compared to the same period in 2017 . 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 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 decreased $133,000 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , reflecting an increase in yield of 21 basis points that was offset by a $23.4 million decrease in the average balance.

Total interest expense increased $2.0 million , or 46.3% , to $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , compared to $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , due to an increase in deposit costs of $1.2 million , or 48.7% , and an increase in borrowing costs of $807,000 , or 43.1% . Deposit costs increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , due to a combination of promotional products and higher rates to attract new deposits and retain existing customers, which also has resulted in the transferring of a portion of existing, lower-rate deposit accounts into higher-yielding certificates of deposit and other accounts. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $59.9 million , or 8.8% , to $743.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , from $683.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , as we continued to target growth in deposits in new and existing market areas.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , there were increases in the average balance of savings accounts of $10.9 million and transaction accounts of $1.8 million compared to the same period in the prior year, while money market accounts remained virtually unchanged between the periods. The average cost of all deposit products increased to 0.65% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , from 0.47% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , in our continuing efforts to attract and retain deposit balances and customer relationships during the year. Borrowing costs increased due primarily to an increase in the average balance of borrowings of $42.6 million , or 45.2% , as we utilized short-term FHLB advances to fund our operations and purchase additional interest-earning assets.

Noninterest expense increased $1.4 million , or 6.2% , to $24.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , compared to $23.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , primarily as a result of an increase in compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment, advertising, and data processing, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees. We rewarded our staff and management for performance through incentive programs and sales commissions. We have also added stock awards and cash bonus programs for certain mid-level management positions which allows us to provide competitive compensation packages that we believe will enable us to attract and retain talented employees. Generally, we continued to grow our portfolio of loans and deposits, expand our geographic footprint, and invest in our personnel and infrastructure, resulting in higher noninterest expenses in 2018 compared to prior years. While we believe these investments in our business have contributed positively to promote sustainable earnings and balance sheet growth, we are also managing expenses and capital in order to improve our efficiency ratio, earnings per share, and return on equity as we strive to attain a level of performance commensurate with our more seasoned public company peers.

Provision for Income Tax. An income tax expense of $1.1 million was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , compared to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , generally due to a decrease in income before taxes of $333,000 and a reduction in the tax rate as a result of the passage of U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

Average Balances, Interest and Average Yields/Cost

The following table set forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities as well as the total dollar amounts of interest income from average interest‑earning assets and interest expense on average interest‑bearing liabilities, resultant yields, interest rate spread, net interest margin (otherwise known as net yield on interest‑earning assets), and the ratio of average interest‑earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities. Also presented is the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets, rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant spread at September 30, 2018 and 2017 . Income and all average balances are monthly average balances, which management deems to be not materially different than daily averages. Nonaccruing loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents 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 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.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017 , we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Contractual Obligations

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 the 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 September 30, 2018 , cash and cash equivalents totaled $25.3 million , and unpledged securities classified as available-for-sale with a market value of $267.1 million provided additional sources of liquidity. We pledged collateral to support borrowings from the FHLB of $121.5 million , and have an established borrowing arrangement with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, for which no collateral has been pledged as of September 30, 2018 .

At September 30, 2018 , we had $525,000 in loan commitments outstanding and an additional $104.8 million in undisbursed loans and standby letters of credit, including $63.1 million in undisbursed construction loan commitments.

Certificates of deposit due within one year as of September 30, 2018 totaled $153.9 million , or 61.3% of certificates of deposit. We believe 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. A significant portion of our money market accounts have rolled into certificates of deposit over the past twelve months, which management believes, based on past experience, is commensurate with our customers' behavior during periods of rising interest rates. If these maturing deposits are not renewed, however, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on certificates of deposit. In addition, we believe that our branch network, and the general cash flows from our existing lending and investment activities, will afford us sufficient foreseeable long-term liquidity. For additional information, see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and provides for its own liquidity to pay its operating expenses and other financial obligations. At September 30, 2018 , the Company (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $26.0 million .

Capital Resources

At September 30, 2018 , shareholders' equity totaled $171.9 million , or 13.9% of total assets. Our book value per share of common stock was $15.18 at September 30, 2018 , compared to $15.02 at December 31, 2017 . 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 September 30, 2018 , the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and was considered "well capitalized" under FDIC regulatory capital guidelines.

The following table provides the capital requirements and actual results for First Federal at September 30, 2018 .



	Actual					Minimum Capital Requirements				Minimum Required to be Well-Capitalized
	Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio
					(Dollars in thousands)
Tier I leverage capital (to average assets)	$	139,408	11.6	%		$	47,947	4.0	%	$	59,934	5.0	%
Common equity tier I (to risk-weighted assets)	139,408		17.4			36,145		4.5		52,209		6.5
Tier I risk-based capital (to risk-weighted assets)	139,408		17.4			48,193		6.0		64,257		8.0
Total risk-based capital (to risk-weighted assets)	148,986		18.6			64,257		8.0		80,322		10.0

In order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses, the Bank must maintain common equity tier 1 capital ("CET1") 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 September 30, 2018 , the conservation buffer was 1.875% .

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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained in First Northwest Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-KT for the six months ended December 31, 2017 .

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

An evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer), Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), and other members of the Company's management team as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2018 , the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (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 Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls.

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 , that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The Company intends to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and to improve its controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that it may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Company's business. While the Company believes the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures. The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent every error or instance of fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. 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. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure is 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; over time, controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
