Business outlook positive amid
oil price drop
By Elwood Brehmer, Alaska Journal of Commerce
Published: 2014.12.04 09:26 AM
“Slow and steady” was the motto for most of Alaska’s banks and credit unions in the third quarter.
Total assets grew 3 percent combined at five of the major state banks for the quarter. Similar asset
growth was 5.9 percent year-over-year.
Northrim Bank had the largest year-over-year asset growth at 20.6 percent, following its acquisition
of Juneau-based Alaska Pacific Bank.
With 2.8 percent growth in the third quarter, First National Bank Alaska assets grew to more than
$3.2 billion.
All of the state’s major credit unions also saw year-over-year asset growth for the quarter as well.
The largest percentage increase was at Denali Alaskan Federal Credit Union with an 8.7 percent
asset expansion.
Net income results were mixed compared to the second quarter but positive year-over-year at the
banks. FNBA pushed its third quarter income to more than $9.3 million, an 11.5 percent increase
quarter-to-quarter and had a 12.2 percent increase year-over-year.
Northrim saw its income decline 9.6 percent from earlier in the year but achieved 16.6 percent
income growth from the third quarter of last year.
Fairbanks institutions Mt. McKinley Bank and Denali State Bank saw income growth on both
comparisons.
Mt. McKinley CEO Craig Ingham has a positive outlook on the year overall.
“We’re projecting for 2014 to have a better year on net income after tax, but very comparable to last
year,” Ingham said.
The mixed results also extended to the credit unions. Alaska USA Federal Credit Union had a 28.7
percent decline in year-to-date income, while Credit Union 1 grew its net earnings more than 35
percent. The most significant increase was at Juneau’s True North Federal Credit Union, which had
a 41.1 percent increase in income.
Loan activity picked up slightly from the second quarter when businesses around the state waited for
voters to settle the oil tax debate in August.
Wells Fargo Alaska Regional Business Banking Manager Darren Franz said his company’s state
portfolio will likely end up growing about $80 million when all of the third quarter loans are funded.

“We’re still hanging in there at about $1.8 billion in commitments,” Franz said.
While the retention of Senate Bill 21’s oil tax structure was generally viewed as positive in the
business community, he said there is always a lag in investment, which occurred in the third quarter.
Franz said he expects to see more investment by the first quarter of 2015.
Loan portfolios grew year-over-year at nine of 10 major state banks and credit unions, with an 8.1
percent decline at Denali State Bank being the lone outlier.
The number of small business loans increased at Wells Fargo, Franz said, and deposits did too.
“We continue to see deposits coming in so that’s an indicator to us that companies in Alaska are
definitely operating increasingly more profitably,” he said.
He attributed the deposit growth to an overall conservative business climate lingering from the
financial crash of 2008-09.
“We had a bunch of people keeping a bunch of dry powder in the bank waiting to see how Senate
Bill 21 would go and we’re over that,” Franz said. “All of a sudden we’re worried about how this
political race might go; now we’re over that and all of a sudden oil prices are throwing the state in
some red operations probably.”
Past due loan totals — those up to 90 days late — decreased 7.7 percent overall at Alaska banks
quarter to quarter, but grew about 50 percent at Mt. McKinley and Denali State Bank.
Ingham said there is some seasonality to late loan payments and that while the percentage
increased sharply it was not significant in terms of total dollars. The past due total at Mt. McKinley
increased about $600,000 in the third quarter.
“Some of the people that are past due when they get their PFD (checks) or whatever, they bring it
current,” he said.
According to Franz, Alaska’s economic climate should remain strong for the near term despite
Alaska North Slope oil prices approaching $70 per barrel.
“I continue to maintain I would rather be a banker with Wells Fargo here in the great state of Alaska
than anywhere else in the world right now for a lot of reasons, but for one its pretty fun,” Franz said.
“Things are moving forward and (are) a lot better than a lot of other places.”
In Fairbanks Ingham said the bright side of low oil prices is the hope that the community could see a
“pass through” that would lower heating oil prices for the winter.

NOTE:
Revised formulas and chart, November 18, 2013.
Beginning in January 2009 the U.S. Bankruptcy Court changed the way they report bankruptcy cases. Due to staffing changes the
information is no longer individually entered. They now use the nationwide formatting which does not sort business and non-business categories.
FNSB will research the cases reported in effort to separate the two categories.
*
Beginning First Quarter 2010 bankruptcy records reflect refined research documenting through FNSB Collections Department who
utilizes PACER (Public Access To Court Electronic Records).
^
3rd Quarter 2013 numbers were changed to remove count of bankruptcy appeal case and correct a miscount in business cases.

NOTE:
Notices of default indicate the terms of a Deed of Trust or Mortgage have been breached, i.e. delinquency of payments. The
notices need not result in foreclosures because deficiencies can be corrected. There can be multiple notices if a default is corrected but the Deed
of Trust or Mortgage terms are breached again in the future. A single notice can be for more than one parcel. Notices are tabulated by date of
initiation.
^
Current data supersedes previous figures reported. The data presented only reflects the number of notice of defaults that have
been recorded and does not reflect any effect of amendments, modifications or terminations of notice of defaults. Please contact the
Community Research Center for any additional questions.

NOTE:
On average FAI should see between 70-100 operations from Volga-Dnepr Airlines per year. Ukraine-based Antonov Design
Bureau, made transit landings Feb-Mar 2010.
^
International Airlines: Evergreen and Volga-Dnepr made non-routine stops at FAI in July-August 2008. UPS made a sizeable
stop in March 2009. Asiana, Cathay Pacific, China Air, Nippon Cargo, Atlas Air, China Cargo, and Evergreen International plus domestic
carriers Fed Ex and UPS had transit landings in September and November 2010. Cathay Pacific and Nippon Cargo boosted numbers reported
in Apr 2012, Jan and Mar 2013. Cathay Pacific, Nippon Cargo and China Air increase values in Sept 2012. Number of transit stops in
Fairbanks may be dependant on weather in Anchorage. If Anchorage runways are snowed in flights are diverted to Fairbanks. Also in 2013
Alaska Airlines changed airplanes used in flights between Fairbanks and Anchorage to the Q400 planes, which are much smaller and do not
have the capacity to carry large amounts of cargo.

NOTE:
Data provided are subject to change. Employment reporting format has changed because Fairbanks became a metropolitan area in
2003 and 2004. Please note that rounding is to nearest 100.
- Excludes self-employed workers, fishers, domestics, and unpaid family workers.
- Government includes employees of public school systems and the University of Alaska.
- Beginning January 2001, wage and salary employment estimates were published under a new classification system. The Standard Industrial
Classification system (SIC) has been replaced by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Data prior to 2001 are
comparable only at the Total Nonfarm and Government levels.

Definition of Employment: These are all persons who, during the reference week (the week including the 12th day of the month), (a) did
any work as paid employees, worked in their own business or profession or on their own farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid
workers in an enterprise operated by a member of their family, or (b) were not working but who had jobs from which they were
temporarily absent because of vacation, illness, bad weather, childcare problems, maternity or paternity leave, labor-management dispute
job training, or other family or personal reasons, whether or not they were paid for the time off or were seeking other jobs. Each
employed person is counted only once, even if he or she holds more than one job.
Definition of Unemployment: Included are all persons who had no employment during the reference week, were available for work,
except for temporary illness, and had made specific efforts to find employment some time during the 4 week-period ending with the
reference week. Persons who were waiting to be recalled to a job from which they had been laid off need not have been looking for work
to be classified as unemployed.

Vacancy rates are based on a sample of 2,000 to 3,000 rental units and include data for apartments, duplexes, tri-plexes
and larger multi-plex rental properties. They do not include single-family houses, mobile homes or cabins. Changes in seasonal
apartment availability may also factor into the Fall and Winter figures.

management to New Haven Communities in May 2009 with addtitional new construction through 2013. Weeks Field Estates has
replaced Fairview Manor with 130 affordable housing units in 2009-2011. Walden Estates, once off-base military housing, privatized
and placed 150 units; 3-5 bdrms., on the market for sale or rent (27:duplexes; 23:4-plexes; 4:houses) in June 2010 (PHII). The Ft.
Wainwright Army 1st Battalion, 52nd Aviation Regiment, approximately 360 soldiers, deployed for nine-month tour beginning
March 2014. The 6th Squadron, 17th Cavalry Regiment, U.S. Army Alaska Avaition Task Force, approximately 400 soldiers,

SOURCE: Fairbanks North Star Borough Assessing Department, personal communications, 2000-2014.
NOTE:
Assessing figures are collected and updated daily but stabilize one quarter after calendar year
close and prior to May certification date. The term Multi-family is indicative of structures having more
than one residential unit, such as a duplex, triplex, 4-plex, etc. Structures with Mother-in-law apartments
are not usually regarded as multi-family. Single Family
Residential (SFR) abbreviated above. SFR includes condominiums, and townhouses. In some instances,
cabins and mobile homes are viewed as SFR (however, cabins are not necessarily year-round residential
units, and mobile homes are not always located on a lot with a foundation). The mobile home
classification is typically considered transient stock (because they can easily be relocated). The by
Structure count was replaced with a "by unit" count beginning February, 2010.

Current data supersedes previous figures reported and current year is YTD (year to date)

Areas, Third Quarter 2014, October 2014.
NOTE:
This Cost of Living Index does not measure inflation (price change over time). Because each quarterly report is
a separate comparison of prices at a single point in time, and because both the number and the mix of participants changes
from one quarter to the next, Index data from different quarters cannot be compared. The Index reflects cost
differentials for professional and executive households in the top income quintile. For inflation data contact the US
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) at www.bls.gov.

NOTE:
A British Thermal Unit (BTU) is the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree F. This is
the standard measurement used to state the amount of energy that a fuel has as well as the amount of output of any heat generating device.
A common index of the cost of heat is "dollars per 100,000 BTUs of useful heat." In order to calculate useful heat (heat actually delivered to
the house), it's necessary to adjust for the efficiency of the heating device and the cost of the fuel.

SOURCE: Community Research Center gasoline price survey and personal communications with Totem Chevron on Gaffney
Road in Fairbanks, Alaska, 2009-2014.
NOTE:
Figures reflect prices at the self-serve pump for unleaded gasoline. Price is a monthly average of full months
business. Only national gasoline retail chain outlets are surveyed.
Factors that may influence the price fluctuations include seasonality in the demand for gasoline, changes in the cost
of crude oil, product supply/demand imbalances, proximity of supply, supply disruptions, competition in the local market,
environmental programs, operating costs, and World oil supply/demand. Recent examples include the natural disaster named
Hurricane Katrina (August 2005) which took out 25% of the US Crude oil production and 15% of the US refinery capacity. Some
major pipelines were impacted by either shutdowns or reduced operating rates. The Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of
Mexico (April 2010). Other factors are political unrest such as the riots in the Middle East including Egypt, and Libya (JanuaryApril 2011). It is known that retail prices are likely to remain elevated as long as some refineries remain shut down and the U.S.
gasoline market continues to stretch supplies to their limit.
