How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Filing Explained

Acquisition shares dilute existing ownership absent offsets; most remaining acquisition-related expenses are expected in fourth-quarter 2026.

The 8-K's earnings release reports that the Pacific West acquisition closed on August 19, 2026, with 430,149 FS Bancorp common shares delivered as part of the seller consideration.

Issuing those shares increases the total share count and reduces existing holders’ percentage ownership absent offsetting changes.

Third-quarter net income of $4.9 million included a preliminary bargain-purchase gain of $1.7 million; the company also incurred $2.5 million in merger-related expenses during the quarter.

The company reports systems integration effective October 5, 2026, while core processing conversion remains planned for the fourth quarter of 2026; it expects most remaining acquisition-related expenses, mainly integration and conversion costs, in that quarter.

Nonperforming loans $25.1 million As of September 30, 2026
bargain purchase gain financial
"recognized a preliminary bargain purchase gain of $1.7 million"
A bargain purchase gain happens when a buyer acquires another company's assets for less than those assets' estimated fair value, producing an immediate accounting profit for the buyer. For investors, it matters because that one-time gain boosts the acquirer's reported earnings and can signal a very favorable deal — like finding a valuable item at a steep discount — but it may also prompt scrutiny about whether asset values or the deal terms were estimated correctly.
acquisition method of accounting financial
"The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting"
An accounting method used when one company obtains control of another; the acquirer records the purchase by measuring the fair value of the consideration it gives up, identifying and measuring the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities at their fair values, and recognizing either goodwill for excess purchase price or a gain if the fair value of net assets exceeds consideration. Measurement-period adjustments are allowed to revise provisional amounts as more information becomes available; the method applies only when control is obtained and replaces earlier approaches that combined owners’ interests without fair-value measurement.
nonaccrual financial
"The acquired loans were on nonaccrual status"
A nonaccrual asset is a loan or investment that a lender stops counting as earning interest because the borrower is not making scheduled payments or the lender doubts future payments. Think of it like putting a subscription on hold when you stop receiving payments; it reduces reported income and signals a higher risk that the lender may not get repaid, which can affect a bank's profits and the value of its loan portfolio.
net interest margin financial
"Net interest margin (NIM) (annualized) was 4.36%"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
allowance for credit losses financial
"allowance for credit losses on acquired loans of $3.9 million"
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
Net income $4.9 million -46% year over year
Diluted earnings per share $0.63 -47% year over year
Net interest income $35.7 million +6% year over year
Noninterest income $6.2 million +10% year over year
Guidance

Management anticipates that the majority of the remaining acquisition-related expenses, consisting primarily of system integration and core conversion costs, will be recognized during the fourth quarter of 2026.

FS Bancorp, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Net Income of $4.9 Million or $0.63 Per Diluted Share and Declares 55th Consecutive Quarterly Cash Dividend 

 

MOUNTLAKE TERRACE, WA – October 21, 2026 – FS Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSBW) (the “Company”), the holding company for 1st Security Bank of Washington (the “Bank”) today reported 2026 third quarter net income of $4.9 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to $7.9 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, for the prior quarter, and $9.2 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter one year ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net income was $20.7 million, or $2.62 per diluted share, compared to net income of $24.9 million, or $3.18 per diluted share, for the comparable nine-month period in 2025.

 

“We are excited to work with the Pacific West Bank team members to further expand the deposit and loan opportunities in the greater Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington markets, and we appreciate all of the hard work that went into the successful systems integration, effective October 5, 2026, through the collaboration of our newly combined teams,” stated Matthew Mullet, President and CEO of FS Bancorp, Inc. “We are also pleased to announce that our Board of Directors has approved our 55th consecutive quarterly cash dividend of $0.29 per common share, demonstrating our commitment to returning capital to long-term shareholders. The cash dividend will be paid on November 20, 2026, to shareholders of record as of November 6, 2026,” concluded Mullet.

 

Recent Events

 

At the close of business on August 19, 2026, the Company completed its acquisition of Pacific West Bancorp (“Pacific West”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific West Bank. Pacific West shareholders received 430,149 shares of FS Bancorp common stock and $16.9 million in cash, for a total consideration of approximately $35.3 million based on the closing price of FS Bancorp common stock on the acquisition date. 

 

The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.  Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and the liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. These fair values represent management's best estimates based on information available and facts and circumstances in existence on the acquisition date and are subject to adjustment during a measurement period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. 

 

The Company acquired assets with a fair value of $476.5 million, including loans of $256.5 million and a core deposit intangible of $5.3 million, and assumed liabilities of $439.5 million, including deposits of $435.6 million.  In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-08, which the Company early adopted effective January 1, 2026, the allowance for credit losses on acquired loans of $3.9 million was established at the acquisition date through a gross-up of the loans' amortized cost rather than through the provision for credit losses.  Because the fair value of net assets acquired exceeded the consideration paid, the Company recognized a preliminary bargain purchase gain of $1.7 million in noninterest income, which is not taxable. The Company incurred $2.5 million in merger-related expenses during the quarter.

(1)

Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on assets and the cost of liabilities to fund those assets. Interest earned includes actual interest earned on segment assets and, if the segment has excess liabilities, interest credits for providing funding to the other segment. The cost of liabilities includes interest expense on segment liabilities and, if the segment does not have enough liabilities to fund its assets, a funding charge based on the cost of assigned liabilities to fund segment assets.

(2)

Noninterest income includes activity from certain residential mortgage loans that were initially originated for sale and measured at fair value and subsequently transferred to loans held for investment. Gains and losses from changes in fair value for these loans are reported in earnings as a component of noninterest income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded a net decrease of $742,000 and $799,000 in fair value, compared to a net increase of $203,000 and $469,000 in fair value for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.  As of September 30, 2026 and 2025, there were $13.9 million and $12.8 million, respectively, in residential mortgage loans recorded at fair value, which had previously been transferred from loans held for sale to loans held for investment.

(3)

Noninterest expense includes allocated overhead expense from general corporate activities. Allocation is determined based on a combination of segment assets and FTEs.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the Home Lending segment included allocated overhead expenses of $1.9 million and $5.5 million, compared to $1.8 million and $5.5 million, respectively.

Loan growth during the three months ended September 30, 2026, reflected the Pacific West Acquisition, which included $252.7 million in loans that remained outstanding at September 30, 2026, as well as $131.5 million of loan growth excluding the acquired loans. Excluding the impact of the acquisition, loan growth was primarily concentrated in non-owner occupied commercial real estate and one-to-four family residential loans, which increased $29.8 million and $76.6 million, respectively, from June 30, 2026. Growth in one-to-four family residential loans included the purchase of $36.7 million of adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans.

(1)

Fintech partner deposits are deposits associated with the Bank’s Banking-as-a-Service relationships with financial technology companies.

(2)

Primarily noninterest-bearing accounts based on applicable state law.

(3)

Comprised of FHLB advances and Federal Reserve Bank borrowings.

 

The Company acquired its fintech partner deposits through the acquisition of Pacific West Acquisition. Through these relationships, the Company provides deposit and related banking services to fintech partners and their end users. 

 

Brokered deposits declined from the prior quarter, partially offset by increased borrowings, which offered a slightly lower cost of funds.

 

In the table above, the increase in stockholders’ equity from June 30, 2026, to September 30, 2026, was primarily due to $18.4 million in common stock issued in the Pacific West Acquisition, and net income of $4.9 million. Changes in the fair value of available‑for‑sale securities and interest rate swap cash flow hedges decreased accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) by $5.3 million, net of tax, reflecting changes in market interest rates during the quarter. The increase in stockholders’ equity was partially offset by $1.9 million in open market share repurchases and $2.2 million in cash dividends paid.

The acquired loans were on nonaccrual status as of the acquisition date and booked at fair market value under acquisition accounting.

Operating Results

 

Net interest income increased $2.0 million to $35.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, from $33.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025.  The increase was primarily a result of a $2.7 million increase in interest income on loans receivable, including interest income from loans acquired in the Pacific West Acquisition and the impact of net loan growth, partially offset by a $452,000 increase in total interest expense.  The increase in total interest expense primarily reflected increases of $843,000 in interest expense on borrowings and $438,000 in interest expense on subordinated notes following their repricing at higher interest rates in 2026, partially offset by an $829,000 decrease in interest expense on deposits.  The decrease in deposit interest expense reflected fluctuations in market interest rates and changes in the composition of deposits and borrowings, including the impact of balances acquired in the Pacific West Acquisition.  

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net interest income increased $4.1 million to $100.9 million, from $96.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, with a $6.0 million increase in total interest income, partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in total interest expense.  The $6.0 million increase in total interest income was primarily due to an increase of $6.6 million in interest income on loans receivable, including fees, primarily attributable to loan growth and the Pacific West Acquisition. The $1.9 million increase in total interest expense was primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in interest expense on subordinated notes, as noted above, as well as a $576,000 increase in interest expense on borrowings, and a $214,000 increase in interest expense on deposits. 

 

Net interest margin (“NIM”) (annualized) was 4.36% for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to 4.37% for the same period in the prior year and 4.30% for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The six basis point increase from the prior quarter was primarily attributable to lower funding costs, including lower rates on certificates of deposit as those deposits repriced and the addition of the slightly lower-cost funding base acquired in the Pacific West Acquisition, as well as improved yields on the Company’s investment securities portfolio. Incremental interest accretion on loans acquired in the Pacific West Acquisition had an immaterial impact on NIM during the period.

 

The average total cost of funds, including noninterest-bearing checking accounts, decreased nine basis points to 2.32% for the three months ended September 30, 2026, from 2.41% for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease primarily reflected lower rates on certificates of deposit as those deposits repriced, as well as the addition of slightly lower-cost funding from the Pacific West Acquisition. The average cost of funds decreased two basis points to 2.37% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, from 2.39% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the provision for credit losses on loans was $3.0 million and $8.2 million, compared to $2.3 million and $5.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The year-to-date increase in the provision primarily reflected an increase in net charge-offs of $649,000 and additional reserve activity related to a single nonperforming construction and development loan.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2026, net charge-offs decreased $2.4 million to $1.6 million, compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $2.3 million charge-off on a commercial construction loan relationship recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net charge-offs increased $649,000 to $7.5 million, compared to $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher net charge-offs in the indirect home improvement portfolio.

 

Total noninterest income increased $582,000 to $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, from $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the bargain purchase gain of $1.7 million from the Pacific West Acquisition, primarily offset by a decrease of $971,000 in gain on sale of loans, reflecting market interest rates putting pressure on home loan sales, and a decrease of $231,000 in other noninterest income.

Total noninterest income remained relatively unchanged at $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as the $1.7 million bargain purchase gain from the Pacific West Acquisition was largely offset by a $1.1 million decrease in gain on sale of loans, reflecting lower loan sale volume as higher mortgage rates reduced saleable production, and a $742,000 fair value decrease on first lien residential mortgage loans accounted for under the fair value option, primarily due to higher mortgage rates during the period.

 

Total noninterest income increased $1.8 million to $17.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, from $15.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This increase was mainly the result of a $1.7 million bargain purchase gain from the Pacific West Acquisition, and a $322,000 increase in gain on sale of loans.

 

Total noninterest expense increased $6.9 million to $32.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $25.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The $6.9 million increase was largely comprised of a $2.8 million increase in salaries and benefits, primarily reflecting an increase in full-time-equivalent employees resulting from the Pacific West Acquisition, as well as higher overall benefit costs, and $2.5 million in acquisition-related costs associated with the transaction, compared to no acquisition costs in the prior year. 

 

Total noninterest expense increased $6.2 million to $32.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, from $26.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The increase primarily reflected a $2.0 million increase in acquisition-related costs, a $1.6 million increase in salaries and benefits expense relating to the increase in full-time-equivalent employees from the Pacific West Acquisition and higher overall benefit costs, a $1.9 million increase in operations expense, and a $426,000 increase in data processing expense. The increases in operations and data processing expenses reflected additional operating costs associated with the Pacific West Acquisition, while the increase in operations expense also reflected certain expense adjustments recognized in the prior quarter.

 

Total noninterest expense increased $8.0 million to $83.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, from $75.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This increase included a $4.6 million increase in salaries and benefits, a $3.2 million increase in acquisition costs, a $647,000 increase in occupancy, and a $573,000 increase in loan costs, partially offset by a $548,000 decrease in operations, primarily due to the same reasons mentioned above.

 

Merger-related activity during the third quarter was primarily focused on transaction completion and integration planning associated with the Pacific West Acquisition, including legal and professional fees, change-in-control costs, investment banking fees, and initial system integration activities related to the planned fourth quarter 2026 core processing conversion.  Acquisition-related expenses, as noted above, include these integration costs as well as costs incurred to complete and consolidate the operations of the two companies. Management anticipates that the majority of the remaining acquisition-related expenses, consisting primarily of system integration and core conversion costs, will be recognized during the fourth quarter of 2026.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

When used in this press release and in other documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), other public stockholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases “may,”  “believe,” “will,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “anticipate,”  “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project,” “plans,” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward‑looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent management's current expectations and forecasts regarding future events, many of which are inherently uncertain and outside of our control. Actual results may differ, possibly materially, from those currently expected or projected in these forward-looking statements.

 

Factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, include, but are not limited to the following: adverse economic conditions in the Company’s local market areas, other markets in which the Company has lending relationships, or other aspects of the Company’s business operations or financial markets, including, without limitation, as a result of employment levels; labor shortages, the effects of inflation, recessionary pressures or slowing economic growth; credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and charge-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses; changes in interest rate levels and volatility, and the timing and pace of such changes, including actions by the Federal Reserve, which could adversely affect the Company's revenues and expenses, the values of our assets and obligations, and the availability and cost of capital and liquidity; inflationary pressures and related monetary and fiscal policy responses, and their impact on consumer and business behavior; geopolitical developments and international conflicts including but not limited to tensions or instability in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, South America, and Asia, or the imposition of new or increased tariffs and trade restrictions, which may disrupt financial markets; global supply chains, commodity prices, or economic activity in specific industry sectors; the effects of a federal government shutdown, debt ceiling standoff, or other fiscal policy uncertainty; increased competitive pressures, including repricing and competitors' pricing initiatives, and their impact on the Company's market position, loan, and deposit products; adverse changes in the securities markets; the Company’s ability to execute its plans to grow its residential construction lending, mortgage banking, and warehouse lending operations, and the geographic expansion of its indirect home improvement lending; challenges arising from expanding into new geographic markets, products, or services; secondary market conditions for loans and the Company’s ability to originate loans for sale and sell loans in the secondary market; volatility in the mortgage industry; fluctuations in deposits; liquidity issues, including the Company's ability to borrow funds or raise additional capital, if necessary; the impact of bank failures or adverse developments at other banks and related negative publicity about the banking industry in general on investor and depositor sentiment; the ability to adapt to rapid technological changes, including advancements in artificial intelligence, digital banking platforms, and cybersecurity; legislation or regulatory changes, including but not limited to shifts in capital requirements, banking regulation, tax laws, or consumer protection laws; vulnerabilities  in information systems or third-party service providers, including disruptions, breaches, or attacks; environmental, social and governance matters; the effects of climate change, severe weather events, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics and other public health crises, acts of war or terrorism, domestic political unrest and other external events on our business; and other factors described in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other reports filed with or furnished to the SEC which are available on the Company's website at www.fsbwa.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Further, statements about the effects of the Company's acquisition of Pacific West, completed on August 19, 2026, on the Company's business, financial results, and condition may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk that the actual effects may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in the forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments which are uncertain, unpredictable, and in many cases, beyond the Company's control, including the following: the expected cost savings, synergies and other financial benefits from the merger might not be realized within the expected time frames or at all; the integration of the combined company, including the conversion of operating systems and the retention of key personnel and customers, might not proceed as planned or may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; merger-related and integration expenses may be greater than expected; preliminary estimates of the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities may change during the measuring period, and acquired loans may experience higher credit losses than anticipated; and the combined company might not perform as well as expected.

 

Any of the forward-looking statements that the Company makes in this press release and in the other public statements are based upon management's beliefs and assumptions at the time they are made and may turn out to be incorrect because of the inaccurate assumptions the Company might make, because of the factors illustrated above or because of other factors that cannot be foreseen by the Company. Therefore, these factors should be considered in evaluating the forward‑looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. The Company does not undertake, and expressly disclaims any obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

 

In addition to financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States (“GAAP”), this earnings release presents non-GAAP financial measures that include tangible book value per share, and tangible common equity ratio. Management believes that providing the Company’s tangible book value per share and tangible common equity ratio provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company’s capital position and facilitates comparisons of the quality and composition of the Company's capital over time and with that of its peers. Where applicable, the Company has also presented comparable GAAP information.

 

These non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, may not be calculated in the same manner by other companies, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Company’s financial position, results of operations or other financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

 

Reconciliation of the GAAP book value per share and common equity ratio to the non-GAAP tangible book value per share and tangible common equity ratio is presented below.
