Insights
First Western Financial's second quarter 2024 results indicate a mixed performance. A slight increase in book value and tangible book value per share reflects a modest strengthening of the company’s equity position. However, the decline in net income and diluted earnings per share from Q1 2024 poses concerns. This is primarily attributed to an increased provision for credit losses and declining net interest income.
Despite the marginal increase in net interest margin, the significant year-over-year decrease in net interest income signifies heightened pressure from rising deposit costs. The increase in non-performing assets and the higher provision for credit losses suggest potential risks in loan quality, which could further impact future profitability.
Overall, short-term performance may be under pressure due to these challenges, but the strategic emphasis on maintaining a strong balance sheet and disciplined expense control could offer some stability and potential for improved profitability in the longer term.
From a market perspective, First Western Financial’s Q2 2024 results show a cautious approach reflected in the stabilized net interest margin and focused risk management strategies. The modest increases in both loans and deposits towards the end of the quarter are positive signs, indicating some underlying growth momentum.
The commentary from CEO Scott Wylie about enhancing banking talent and strategic investments in technology is promising for long-term growth. However, the decrease in total deposits and the increase in non-performing assets may weigh on investor sentiment in the short term. The trend in non-interest income, particularly from wealth management and mortgage banking, could be a important area to watch as it has shown strong contributions despite overall revenue declines.
For investors, the key takeaway is the balance between cautious short-term performance and long-term strategic potential.
First Western Financial's Q2 2024 financial results highlight some concerning trends in credit risk management. The significant increase in provision for credit losses, from $72K in Q1 2024 to $2.33M in Q2 2024, combined with the rise in non-performing assets, indicates escalating credit quality issues. This increased provision reflects the company's response to potential defaults and deteriorating loan conditions.
The foreclosure on properties and the addition of substantial non-performing loans underscore the need for vigilant monitoring. The substantial increase in non-performing assets from the previous year points to underlying vulnerabilities that could impact the company’s financial stability if not adequately managed.
Investors should be cautious about these credit quality trends, as they significantly impact the company's risk profile and potential future earnings.

Scott C. Wylie, CEO of First Western, commented, “During the second quarter, we continued to prioritize prudent risk management and a conservative approach to new loan production, which resulted in our balance sheet remaining relatively flat in the quarter. We also continued to execute well on our strategic priorities including maintaining disciplined expense control, adding new deposit relationships, and generating strong contributions of non-interest income from our wealth management and mortgage banking businesses, which combined with our prudent balance sheet management resulted in a further increase in our tangible book value per share. Our performance grew stronger as we moved through the quarter with increases in both loans and deposits in June and an increase in our net interest margin.
“We are benefiting from the strength of the franchise we have built to upgrade our banking talent throughout our markets as we fill open positions. These new additions, along with strong execution across our entire organization on our business development initiatives, are positively impacting our pipelines in all areas of our business including loans, deposits, mortgage banking, and investment management. Based on the positive trends we are currently seeing, we expect to generate a higher level of profitability in the second half of the year, while also continuing to make investments in talent and technology that will further enhance our ability to generate profitable growth in the future,” said Mr. Wylie.
