Previous Earnings Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan 29 | Quarterly earnings | Negative | -2.3% | Small profit, higher nonperforming loans, no dividend and funding mix changes. |
| Oct 27 | Quarterly earnings | Positive | +8.6% | Return to profit with NIM at 2.91% and lower deposit costs. |
| Jul 24 | Quarterly earnings | Positive | +3.8% | Strong Q2 profit, NIM expansion, efficiency gains and provision recapture. |
| Apr 24 | Quarterly earnings | Positive | +5.0% | Improved Q1 profitability, brokered deposit reduction and a cash dividend. |
| Jan 29 | Quarterly earnings | Negative | -0.2% | Q4 2024 net loss with high credit provisions despite liquidity improvements. |
Over the past five earnings releases, FNWB’s stock moved on average 2.96%, with reactions consistently aligning with the tone of results, especially around profitability trends, credit costs, and deposit/funding mix.
Recent earnings show FNWB transitioning from losses in Q4 2024 to improved profitability through 2025, highlighted by $3.7M net income in Q2 2025 and margin expansion to 2.83%. Subsequent quarters maintained profitability but with pressure from higher legal expenses, nonperforming loans, and suspended dividends. Q4 2025 delivered modest net income of $382,000 and rising NIM at 3.00%. Today’s Q1 2026 results, with net income of $6,000 and 3.03% NIM, extend the margin improvement trend but show very limited bottom‑line earnings amid ongoing balance sheet repositioning and legal costs.
Historical Comparison
In the past year, FNWB issued 5 earnings reports, averaging 2.96% price moves, with reactions generally tracking shifts in profitability, credit costs, and deposit mix.
Earnings since late 2024 show FNWB moving from repeated quarterly losses to positive net income across 2025, supported by net interest margin expansion and funding mix improvements, while navigating elevated legal costs, higher nonperforming loans at times, and periodic suspension of dividends.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement highlights FNWB’s mixed Q1 2026 profile: very modest net income of $6,000 alongside continued net interest margin expansion to 3.03%, lower deposit costs at 2.04%, and a total risk‑based capital ratio of 13.5%. Brokered deposits declined to $64.1M while customer deposits reached $1.54B, and asset quality metrics showed stable ACLL coverage. Historically, earnings releases have moved the stock by an average of 2.96%, so investors often focus on how profitability, credit trends, and funding mix evolve in subsequent quarters.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains financial measures that are not in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Non-GAAP measures are presented where management believes the information will help investors understand the Company’s results of operations or financial position and assess trends. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure is also provided. 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.
