DIXON, Calif., July 30, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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."

DIXON, Calif., April 30, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--First Northern Community Bancorp (the "Company", NASDAQ: FNRN), holding company for First Northern Bank ("First Northern" or the "Bank"), today reported net income of $5.9 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, up 60.9% compared to net income of $3.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Total assets as of March 31, 2026, were $1.92 billion, an increase of $48.8 million, or 2.6%, compared to March 31, 2025. Total net loans as of March 31, 2026, were $1.06 billion, an increase of $23.8 million, or 2.3%, compared to March 31, 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 March 31, 2026, were $1.69 billion, an increase of $19.9 million, or 1.2%, compared to March 31, 2025. The Company continued to be "well capitalized" under regulatory definitions, exceeding the 10% total risk-based capital ratio threshold as of March 31, 2026. Jeremiah Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "The Company delivered strong financial results in the first quarter with net income of $5.9 million, an increase of 60.9% when compared to the net income of $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2025. Net interest margin expanded to 3.83%, up 19 basis points or 5.2% from 3.64% reported for the same quarter last year. This improvement was driven by loan growth and improved yields on interest-earning assets, while we maintained a disciplined cost of funds at 90 basis points for the first quarter. As a result, net interest income after provision for credit losses increased by $1.8 million or 12.0%." Commenting further, "In addition to the growth in net interest income we experienced an increase in non-interest income, primarily driven by our Beacon Wealth client acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2025. Investment and Brokerage income rose 154.3% in the first quarter when compared to the same quarter last year. At the same time, we maintained strong expense discipline, with operating expenses decreasing by 4.8% year-over-year, primarily due to lower consulting fees and loan collection expenses incurred during the current period." Lastly, Mr. Smith commented, "We remained focused on enhancing shareholder value, as reflected in our book value per share, increasing from $12.92 at December 31, 2025 to $13.03 at March 31, 2026. We also returned capital to shareholders through a 5% stock dividend paid on March 25, 2026, and announced a new stock repurchase program of up to 6% of outstanding shares on March 26, 2026. Subsequent to quarter-end, we uplisted from the OTCQX and the Company's common stock commenced trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on April 24, 2026, which should further strengthen our market presence."

Total net loans as of December 31, 2025, were $1.05 billion, an increase of $3.6 million, or 0.4%, compared to December 31, 2024.

The Company continued to be "well capitalized" under regulatory definitions, exceeding the 10% total risk-based capital ratio threshold as of December 31, 2025. Commenting on the Company’s fourth quarter financial results, First Northern Bank’s President & Chief Executive Officer, Jeremiah Z.

Book value per share as of December 31, 2025, was $12.92, up $2.38, or 22.6%, compared to the prior year.

Yields on total average earning assets improved by 29 basis points, or 9.6%, compared to the same quarter last year, while our cost of funds increased only 5 basis points, or 3.2%. This resulted in a 25-basis-point improvement in net interest margin to 3.85% for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to 3.60% for the same quarter one year prior. This improvement was primarily driven by higher yields on our loan and securities portfolios and continued discipline in our deposit pricing."
