First Northern Community Bancorp Reports Second Quarter 2026 Net Income of $4.7 Million
For immediate release
Dixon, Calif., July 29, 2026 — First Northern Community Bancorp (the “Company”, NASDAQ: FNRN), holding company for First Northern Bank (“First Northern” or the “Bank”), today reported net income of $10.6 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, up 16.4% compared to net income of $9.1 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, was $4.7 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, down 13.5% compared to net income of $5.5 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Total assets as of June 30, 2026, were $1.93 billion, an increase of $54.4 million, or 2.9%, compared to June 30, 2025. Total net loans, including loans held-for-sale, as of June 30, 2026, were $1.09 billion, an increase of $29.0 million, or 2.7%, compared to June 30, 2025. The increase in net loans was primarily driven by growth in commercial loans, which was partially offset by net reductions in commercial real estate, agriculture, residential mortgage and consumer loans. Total deposits as of June 30, 2026, were $1.69 billion, an increase of $28.6 million, or 1.7%, compared to June 30, 2025.
The Company continued to be “well capitalized” under regulatory definitions, exceeding the 10% total risk-based capital ratio threshold as of June 30, 2026.
Jeremiah Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our second quarter performance, highlighted by strong loan growth, continued credit quality improvements, and disciplined balance sheet management. Net loans increased by $27.9 million during the quarter, representing an annualized growth rate of 10.5%, while non-accrual loans declined by 7.1% to $4.6 million. Our net interest margin remained strong at 3.75%, and our cost of funds was well managed at 0.90%, reflecting the ongoing strength of our low-cost deposit franchise. The acquisition of Beacon Wealth in the fourth quarter of 2025 continued to improve our total non-interest income. Investment and brokerage services income for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 increased by 141.3% compared to the same quarter one year prior, contributing to a 14.7% increase in total non-interest income to $1.8 million compared to June 30, 2025.”
Further, “We also remain focused on managing operating expenses while investing in the future of the Bank. During the second quarter, our systems upgrade project accelerated, resulting in modest increases in staffing, data processing, and consulting expenses. We expect these elevated costs to continue through our planned fourth quarter project implementation, after which we anticipate enhanced capabilities, improved process efficiencies, and long-term operating benefits beginning in 2027.”
Lastly, Mr. Smith commented, “We remain committed to enhance and unlock shareholder value. On April 24, 2026, we successfully uplisted to The Nasdaq Capital Market, and, effective June 29,2026, we were added to the Russell 3000 Index. These milestones significantly increased trading volume, improved liquidity of our common stock, and expanded our visibility among institutional investors as index funds tracking the Russell 3000 acquired shares. In addition to improving our valuation, we continued to improve our book value per share, which increased from $13.03 at March 31, 2026 to $13.24 at June 30, 2026. Together, these achievements reflect the continued execution of our long-term strategy to create value for our shareholders while positioning the Company for future growth."
