Net income available to common shareholders was $1.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2020. This compares to $2.6 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2019, and $1.6 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2019.

Financial results for the first quarter of 2020 include a $0.6 million loss on intangibles held for sale related to the Company’s Capital Management segment, which negatively impacted earnings per diluted share by 5 cents. For the first quarter of 2020, adjusted net income, available to common shareholders, excluding the held for sale loss, was $1.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted share.

Scott C. Wylie, CEO of First Western, commented, “During January and February, we experienced positive trends throughout the business including strong growth in loans and deposits and an expansion in our net interest margin. We were also very pleased to sign a branch purchase and assumption agreement with

Simmons Bank in February that will increase our presence in Denver, add valuable scale and banking talent, and we believe will be highly accretive to earnings.”

“As the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated in March, our focus turned to protecting the health and safety of our associates and ensuring that we continued to support the financial needs of our clients and the communities we serve. We have implemented a number of programs to help our clients manage through this crisis, including participating in the Small Business Association’s Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). As of April 24th, we  processed 347 applications for a total of $162.1 million funded through the PPP. While our top priority has been serving our existing clients, we have also used the PPP to establish many new commercial client relationships with businesses that were frustrated by the lack of response from their prior banks.”

“We believe we are well positioned from a capital and liquidity standpoint to continue supporting our clients and communities throughout the duration of this crisis. Now more than ever, we have the opportunity to demonstrate the compelling value proposition of the First Western model, help our clients navigate through a time of unprecedented challenges, and attract new commercial and wealth management clients to our franchise,” said Mr. Wylie.

Operating Results for the First Quarter 2020

Revenue

Gross revenue (1) was $16.7 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $16.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2019.  The increase in revenue was primarily driven by a $0.7 million increase in net interest income.

Relative to the first quarter of 2019, gross revenue increased $1.8 million from $14.9 million. The increase was primarily due to growth in net interest income and net gain on mortgage loans resulting from increased mortgage activity. | ^(1)^ | Represents a Non-GAAP financial measure. See “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation of our Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. | | --- | --- | Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2020 was $8.9 million, an increase of 9.0% from $8.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributable to a reduction in interest expense resulting from a 20 basis point decline in the cost of funds.

Relative to the first quarter of 2019, net interest income increased 12.0%  from $8.0 million. The year-over-year increase in net interest income was due primarily to growth in average loans and lower cost of funds.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2020 increased to 3.14% from 2.91% in the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily driven by a 20 basis point decline in the cost of funds.

Relative to the first quarter of 2019, the net interest margin increased from 3.03%, primarily due to a 29 basis point decline in cost of funds.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2020 was $7.8 million, a decrease of 5.6% from $8.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in insurance revenues.

While our net gains on mortgage loans remained consistent with the fourth quarter, the uncertainty of COVID-19’s impact on the economy caused major disruptions in the mortgage market. Sharp Fed Funds and US Treasury rate reductions, as well as capacity, liquidity and delinquency concerns in the mortgage industry caused the market value of loans and loan servicing to decline rapidly and significantly relative to mortgage hedges, resulting in approximately $4 million of lost value during the month of March.

Relative to the first quarter of 2019, non-interest income increased 11.3% from $7.0 million. The increase was primarily attributable to higher net gains on mortgage loans as a result of a higher volume of mortgages.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2020 was $14.6 million, an increase of 12.0% from $13.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2020 included a $0.6 million loss

3

on intangibles held for sale related to the Capital Management segment. Excluding the loss on intangibles held for sale, the increase was driven by higher professional costs primarily associated with the pending branch acquisition along with an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense resulting from higher head count and seasonality in payroll taxes.

Non-interest expense increased 16.2% from $12.6 million in the first quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits expense reflecting the growth of the organization over the past year and improved performance.

The Company’s efficiency ratio was 84.4% in the first quarter of 2020, compared with 80.5% in the fourth quarter of 2019 and 83.2% in the first quarter of 2019. The efficiency ratio was negatively impacted during the first quarter 2020 by various acquisition and disposition related expenses. Management expects a return to the positive trend it had previously shown in the Company’s efficiency ratio.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2020, representing an effective tax rate of 20.8%, compared to 11.0% for the fourth quarter of 2019. The lower effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2019 was primarily attributable to tax-planning strategies driven by the impact of research and development tax credits.

Loan Portfolio

Total gross loans including mortgage loans held for sale were $1.11 billion at March 31, 2020, an increase of $61.8 million from the end of the prior quarter, and an increase of $157.1 million from March 31, 2019.

Gross loans, excluding mortgage loans held for sale, totaled $1.04 billion at March 31, 2020, an annualized increase of 18.4%  from $998.0 million at December  31, 2019, and an increase of 12.1% from $931.2 million at March 31, 2019. The increase in gross loans from December  31, 2019 was primarily due to growth in the 1-4 family residential, commercial and industrial, and commercial real estate portfolios.

Deposits

Total deposits were $1.18 billion at March 31, 2020, compared to $1.09 billion at December 31, 2019, and $978.1 million at March 31, 2019.  The increase in total deposits from December  31, 2019 was primarily due to an increase in money market, time and non-interest bearing deposits.

Average total deposits for the first quarter of 2020 increased  $103.6 million, or 10.6%, from the first quarter of 2019.

Assets Under Management

Total assets under management decreased by $551.2 million during the first quarter to $5.64 billion at March 31, 2020, compared to $6.19 billion at December 31, 2019, and $5.78 billion at March 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to market  losses resulting from the market volatility related to the global pandemic.

4

Credit Quality

Non-performing assets totaled $11.1 million, or 0.82% of total assets, at March 31, 2020, a decline from $12.9 million, or 1.03% of total assets, at December  31, 2019 due primarily to pay downs on non-performing loans.

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2020, primarily reflecting the strong growth in the loan portfolio.  Changes within the provision during the first quarter 2020 also included a decrease in the specific reserve resulting from pay downs on an impaired loan and an increase in the unallocated reserve based on management’s assumptions related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic given data that was currently available, as of the date of analysis.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a loan modification program was designed and implemented to assist our clients experiencing financial stress resulting from the economic impacts caused by the global pandemic. The program includes loan extensions, temporary payment moratoriums, and financial covenant waivers for commercial and consumer borrowers impacted by the pandemic who have a pass risk rating and have not been delinquent over 30 days on payments in the last two years. These programs were implemented towards the end of the first quarter of 2020. No clients participated in the loan modification program in the first quarter, however as April 24th, the Company entered into modification agreements with 32  clients across multiple industries in the amount of $55.8 million.

The Company will continue to closely monitor the loan portfolio, understanding the stress of our borrowers as well as the on-going impact of COVID-19, as it relates to the allowance for loan loss and credit quality metrics.

Capital

At March 31, 2020, First Western (“Consolidated”) and First Western Trust Bank (“Bank”) exceeded the minimum capital levels required by their respective regulators. At March 31, 2020, the Bank was classified as “well capitalized,” as summarized in the following table:

Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 10.35
CET 1 to risk-weighted assets 10.35
Total capital to risk-weighted assets 11.23

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial measures included in this press release are not measures of financial performance recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).   These non-GAAP financial measures include “Tangible Common Equity,” “Tangible Common Book Value per Share,” “Return on Tangible Common Equity,” “Efficiency Ratio,” and “Gross Revenue,” “Adjusted Net Income Available to Common Shareholders,” “Adjusted Earnings Per Share,” “Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share,” “Adjusted Return on Average Assets,” “Adjusted Return on Average Shareholders’ Equity,” and “Adjusted Return on Tangible Common Equity”. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company’s financial position and performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP financial measures. Not all companies use the same calculation of these measures; therefore, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as presented by other companies. Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures, to GAAP financial measures are provided at the end of this press release.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this news release regarding our expectations and beliefs about our future financial performance and financial condition, as well as trends in our business and markets are “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements often include words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “outlook,” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “opportunity,” “could,” or “may.” The forward looking statements in this news release are based on current information and on assumptions that we make about future events and circumstances that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that are often difficult to predict and beyond our control. As a result of those risks and

6

uncertainties, our actual financial results in the future could differ, possibly materially, from those expressed in or implied by the forward looking statements contained in this news release and could cause us to make changes to our future plans. Those risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the COVID-19 pandemic and related government actions; the risk of geographic concentration in Colorado, Arizona, Wyoming and California; the risk of changes in the economy affecting real estate values and liquidity; the risk in our ability to continue to originate residential real estate loans and sell such loans; risks specific to commercial loans and borrowers; the risk of claims and litigation pertaining to our fiduciary responsibilities; the risk of competition for investment managers and professionals; the risk of fluctuation in the value of our investment securities; the risk of changes in interest rates; and the risk of the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses and the risk in our ability to maintain a strong core deposit base or other low-cost funding sources. Additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties to which our business and future financial performance are subject is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 12,  2020 (“Form 10-K”), and other documents we file with the SEC from time to time. We urge readers of this news release to review the “Risk Factors” section our Form 10-K and any updates to those risk factors set forth in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and our other filings with the SEC. Also, our actual financial results in the future may differ from those currently expected due to additional risks and uncertainties of which we are not currently aware or which we do not currently view as, but in the future may become, material to our business or operating results. Due to these and other possible uncertainties and risks, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this news release, which speak only as of today’s date, or to make predictions based solely on historical financial performance. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.

Exhibit 99.2

First Western Financial, Inc.<br>The First, Western-Based Private Trust Bank<br>First Quarter 2020 Conference Call
Safe Harbor<br>2<br>This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities<br>Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements reflect the current views of First Western Financial, Inc.’s (“First Western”) management with respect<br>to, among other things, future events and First Western’s financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such<br>as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,”<br>“future” “forecast,” “goal,” “target,” “would” and “outlook,” or the negative variations of those words or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking nature.<br>These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about First Western’s industry, management’s<br>beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond First Western’s control. Accordingly, First<br>Western cautions you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are<br>difficult to predict. Although First Western believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results<br>may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Those following risks and uncertainties, among others, could<br>cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: the COVID-19 pandemic and related<br>government actions; the risk of geographic concentration in Colorado, Arizona, Wyoming and California; the risk of changes in the economy affecting real estate values and<br>liquidity; the risk in our ability to continue to originate residential real estate loans and sell such loans; risks specific to commercial loans and borrowers; the risk of claims<br>and litigation pertaining to our fiduciary responsibilities; the risk of competition for investment managers and professionals; the risk of fluctuation in the value of our<br>investment securities; the risk of changes in interest rates; and the risk of the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses and the risk in our ability to maintain a strong core<br>deposit base or other low-cost funding sources. Additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties to which our business and future financial<br>performance are subject is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 12, 2020 and other<br>documents we file with the SEC from time to time. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to First Western or persons acting on First<br>Western’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation. First Western<br>undertakes no obligation to publicly update or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise (except<br>as required by law).<br>Certain of the information contained herein may be derived from information provided by industry sources. The Company believes that such information is accurate and the<br>sources from which it has been obtained are reliable; however, the Company cannot guaranty the accuracy of such information and has not independently verified such<br>information.<br>This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures intended to supplement, not substitute for, comparable GAAP measures. Reconciliations of non-GAAP<br>financial measures to GAAP financial measures are provided at the end of this presentation. Numbers in the presentation may not sum due to rounding.
