First Northwest Bancorp Reports Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

PORT ANGELES, Wash., Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Northwest Bancorp (Nasdaq: FNWB) ("First Northwest" or the "Company"), the holding company for First Fed Bank ("First Fed" or the "Bank"), today reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2026. The Company reported a net loss of $743,000 for the third quarter of 2026, compared to net income of $308,000 for the second quarter of 2026 and net income of $802,000 for the third quarter of 2025. Basic and diluted loss per share were $0.08 for the third quarter of 2026, compared to basic and diluted income per share of $0.03 for the second quarter of 2026 and basic and diluted income per share of $0.09 for the third quarter of 2025. 

Management Outlook; President and Chief Executive Officer, Curt Queyrouze:

"We are encouraged by the continued momentum in our core banking franchise during the third quarter, including stable net interest income, modest net interest margin expansion and growth in customer deposits. These results reflect the progress we are making to enhance our funding mix and strengthen the balance sheet. Although reported results were affected by a higher provision for credit losses and the settlement of a previously disclosed legal matter, nonperforming loans declined and allowance coverage improved. With a stable capital position and several strategic and operational initiatives underway, we believe we are building a stronger foundation for improved profitability and long-term shareholder value."

Net Interest Income and Margin

Total interest income increased $134,000 to $25.6 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $25.5 million for the preceding quarter, and decreased $1.3 million compared to $26.9 million in the third quarter of 2025. Interest income increased during the third quarter of 2026 primarily due to 2026 purchases of investment securities. Average investment securities balances and yields increased compared to the preceding quarter as a result of these purchases. Average consumer and commercial business loan balances increased while average real estate loan balances decreased over the preceding quarter. The yield on interest-earning assets was flat at 5.30% for both the second and third quarters of 2026 as additional income from higher-yielding investment securities and deposits in banks offset a small decline in interest from loans receivable.

Total interest expense was flat at $11.3 million for the second and third quarters of 2026, and decreased $1.1 million compared to $12.3 million in the third quarter of 2025. The deposit mix changed in the third quarter of 2026 with slightly higher rates paid on customer deposits offset by lower average balances on borrowings. As a result of third quarter changes, the total cost of funds decreased 1 basis point to 2.41% compared to the preceding quarter.

The net interest margin increased to 2.96% for the third quarter of 2026, from 2.95% for the preceding quarter and increased from 2.91% for the third quarter of 2025.

Noninterest Income and Expense

Noninterest income increased $169,000 to $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2026. The increase was primarily due to a nonrecurring gain recognized upon exercising a historic tax credit partnership redemption option, partially offset by a decline in the valuation of servicing rights on sold loans.

Noninterest expense increased $922,000 to $17.3 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $16.4 million for the preceding quarter. The increase was primarily due to a nonrecurring $1.3 million expense for the settlement of the litigation previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed September 18, 2026. This increase was partially offset by lower consulting fees recorded in professional fees. Legal fees remain elevated due to the timing of the settlement in the quarter and the Company’s defense of other ongoing legal matters.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans ("ACLL") and Credit Quality

The ACLL increased $79,000 to $16.4 million at September 30, 2026, from $16.3 million at June 30, 2026. The ACLL as a percentage of total loans was 1.03% at September 30, 2026, an increase from 1.01% at June 30, 2026, and an increase from 1.00% at September 30, 2025. A $532,000 loan provision expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, was the result of $453,000 in net charge-offs and a $264,000 increase in reserves on individually evaluated loans, partially offset by a $185,000 decrease in the overall pooled loan reserve. The change in pooled loan reserve was driven by lower loss factors applied to multi-family and auto loans combined with decreased loan balances in commercial business loans.

Nonperforming loans decreased $842,000 to $19.9 million at September 30, 2026, from $20.7 million at June 30, 2026. Current quarter activity included principal payments totaling $1.4 million and net charge-offs on nonperforming loans totaling $419,000. The decreases were partially offset by the transition into nonaccrual status of loans totaling $1.0 million across multiple loan categories. ACLL to nonperforming loans increased slightly to 82% at September 30, 2026, from 79% at June 30, 2026, reflecting a higher ACLL balance and lower nonperforming loan balances.

Classified loans increased $593,000 to $26.1 million at September 30, 2026, from $25.5 million at June 30, 2026, primarily due to $2.5 million of new downgrades across multiple loan categories. The increase was partially offset by principal payments totaling $1.4 million and net charge-offs totaling $419,000. Four collateral-dependent loans totaling $17.4 million account for 67% of the classified loan balance at September 30, 2026.

Financial Condition and Capital

Continued disciplined balance sheet management and deposit growth resulted in reduced reliance on higher-cost brokered deposits while maintaining stable capital levels.

Total deposits increased $27.0 million to $1.63 billion at September 30, 2026, compared to $1.61 billion at June 30, 2026, and decreased $18.9 million compared to $1.65 billion one year prior. During the third quarter of 2026, total customer deposit balances increased $27.0 million and there was no change in brokered deposit balances. The customer deposit mix reflects increased average CD, money market and demand account balances while average balances of savings accounts decreased compared to the preceding quarter. The rates paid on customer interest-bearing deposits increased 7 basis points to 2.39% for the current quarter, compared to 2.32% for the second quarter of 2026. The deposit mix compared to September 30, 2025, reflects an increase in average balances of customer accounts to CD, savings and money market accounts, with an overall $29.6 million increase to average total customer balances. A $45.2 million decrease in the average balance of brokered CDs was the main driver for the year-over-year decrease in total deposits. Rates paid on total interest-bearing deposit accounts decreased 14 basis points compared to the same quarter one year ago.

Total shareholders’ equity decreased to $148.8 million at September 30, 2026, compared to $158.3 million three months earlier, due to decreases in the after-tax fair market values of the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio of $9.3 million and a net loss of $743,000, partially offset by the after-tax fair value of the investment portfolio hedge of $332,000. No shares of common stock were repurchased under the Company's April 2024 Stock Repurchase Plan (the "Repurchase Plan") during the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Therefore, these factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We do not undertake and specifically disclaim any obligation to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements, except as required by law. These risks could cause our actual results for 2026 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any forward-looking statements by, or on behalf of, us and could negatively affect the Company’s operations and stock price performance.

These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Other banking companies may use names similar to those the Company uses for the non-GAAP financial measures the Company discloses, but may calculate them differently. Investors should understand how the Company and other companies each calculate their non-GAAP financial measures when making comparisons. Reconciliations of the GAAP and non-GAAP measures are presented below.
