Northwest Bancshares, Inc. (NWBI) furnished an investor presentation outlining a transformed regional bank with strong second quarter 2026 performance and a multi‑pronged growth strategy in commercial lending, de novo expansion, low‑cost deposits, M&A and leadership upgrades. For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, total assets were $17.2 billion, deposits $14.2 billion and loans $13.2 billion, with net income of $54 million, return on assets of 1.27%, return on equity of 11.20% and net interest margin of 3.75%.
Average commercial and industrial loans grew 32.2% year over year and 5.6% sequentially, helping total average loans reach $13.1 billion, up 16.4% year over year. Average deposits rose to $14.1 billion, up 16.3% year over year, while the cost of deposits declined to 1.43%, the third consecutive quarterly decrease. Credit quality metrics remained stable with an allowance for credit losses of 1.13% of loans, annualized net charge‑offs of 0.15% and nonperforming assets at 0.70% of loans and other real estate. The company highlighted successful integration of the Penns Woods acquisition, Columbus market expansion and 2026 guidance calling for revenue of $710–$730 million and low‑ to mid‑single‑digit loan and deposit growth.
Northwest Bancshares, Inc. reported record second‑quarter 2026 results, with GAAP net income of $53.5 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, up from $33.7 million, or $0.26, a year earlier and $50.5 million, or $0.34, in the prior quarter. Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.37. Annualized returns on average equity and assets improved to 11.20% and 1.27%, respectively.
Net interest income rose to $146.9 million, as net interest margin expanded to 3.75% from 3.56% a year ago, supported by 16.4% year‑over‑year average loan growth and lower deposit costs. Noninterest income increased to $34.2 million, driven by service charges and trust and other financial services income, while the efficiency ratio improved to 57.6% (56.2% on an adjusted basis).
Credit quality metrics remained strong: annualized net charge‑offs were 0.15%, nonperforming loans were 0.69% of total loans, and the allowance for credit losses covered 162% of nonperforming loans. The board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share, the 127th consecutive dividend, implying an approximate 5.3% yield based on the June 30, 2026 share price. Capital ratios stayed well above well‑capitalized thresholds, with a common equity tier 1 ratio of 12.21% at the holding company.
Northwest Bancshares, Inc. approved a New Award of 125,298 restricted stock units for president and chief executive officer Lou Torchio on July 22, 2026, effective on or about July 31, 2026. The company’s Compensation Committee cites his strong performance, below‑peer historical pay, and a desire to incentivize his service beyond age 65.
The New Award mirrors the vesting and other terms of a prior $2,000,000 restricted stock unit award granted on December 20, 2024, which vests after four years with settlement in two installments and provides for accelerated or pro‑rated vesting upon certain terminations, death, disability, or following a change in control. A portion of the original grant was rescinded in 2025 because it exceeded the $1,000,000 individual grant limit under the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. Shareholders later approved the 2026 Equity Incentive Plan, which increased the annual individual grant limit to $5,000,000, enabling the New Award that restores rescinded shares and reflects amounts the committee expected to grant in 2025 and 2026.
Northwest Bancshares, Inc. held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 20, 2026. Shareholders re‑elected three directors and ratified KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026.

Discounted Stock Purchase Plan. These plans allow stock‑based awards and discounted purchases of common stock, with detailed terms provided in the company’s proxy statement.
