Net interest margin expands to 3.69% amid solid performance

Year to date EPS of $0.92 per diluted share, 16% growth from the prior year

Record quarterly total revenue of $180 million, 17% growth from the prior year

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Northwest Bancshares, Inc., (the "Company"), (Nasdaq: NWBI) announced net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 of $46 million, or $0.31 per diluted share. This represents an increase of $13 million compared to the same quarter last year, when net income was $33 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, and an increase of $43 million compared to the prior quarter, when net income was $3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. The annualized returns on average shareholders' equity and average assets for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 were 9.70% and 1.10% compared to 8.20% and 0.91% for the same quarter last year and 0.69% and 0.08% from the prior quarter.

Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was $49 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, which increased by $8 million from $41 million, or $0.29 per diluted share in the prior quarter. This increase was driven by an increase in net interest income of $6 million, coupled with an increase in noninterest income of $6 million and a decrease in adjusted provision expense partially offset by an increase in adjusted noninterest expense of $7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. All quarterly results were impacted by a full quarter of the acquisition of Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. ("Penns Woods") which closed in late July 2025. The adjusted annualized returns on average shareholders' equity (non-GAAP) and average assets (non-GAAP) for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 were 10.33% and 1.17% compared to 8.89% and 1.01% for the prior quarter.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share payable on February 18, 2026 to shareholders of record as of February 5, 2026. This is the 125th consecutive quarter in which the Company has paid a cash dividend. Based on the market value of the Company's common stock as of December 31, 2025, this represents an annualized dividend yield of approximately 6.7%.

Louis J. Torchio, President and CEO, Northwest Bancshares commented, "2025 was a transformational year for Northwest Bank. We closed on a significant acquisition, drove record revenue of $655 million for the full year, and continued to expand the firm's net interest margin. Coupled with our demonstrated expense management discipline through the closing and integration of our sizeable acquisition, we drove double digit EPS growth, all while investing in the talent, technology, and new financial centers and products to support our future growth."

"I am excited at our prospects in 2026, and anticipate another year of record revenue growth, as we build out our consumer franchise in Columbus, deepen relationships in our existing core markets, and continue to build market share in our commercial lines of business."

  • Average loans receivable increased $1.8 billion from the quarter ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by the Penns Woods acquisition.

  • Average investments increased $167 million from the quarter ended December 31, 2024 and $89 million from the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The growth in average investments was primarily due to the Penns Woods acquisition and a targeted increase in the overall securities portfolio during the quarter.
  • Average deposits grew $1.7 billion from the quarter ended December 31, 2024 and $475 million from the third quarter 2025. The growth in both periods was primarily driven by an increase in interest-bearing account balances primarily due to the addition of the Penns Woods deposit accounts.

  Net interest margin (FTE)           3.69 % 3.65 %  3.42 %

Compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2024, net interest income increased $28 million and net interest margin increased to 3.69% from 3.42% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. This increase in net interest income resulted primarily from:

  • A $32 million increase in interest income that was the result of higher average yields coupled with an increase in average earning assets. The increase in average earning assets was driven by the Penns Woods acquisition during the third quarter. The average yield on loans improved to 5.65% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 from 5.56% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 driven by a loan mix shift towards higher yielding commercial loans along with the accretion of loan fair value marks from the acquisition of $4.6 million during the quarter.
  • A $4 million increase in interest expense is the result of an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities partially offset by a decline in the cost of deposits. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.14% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 from 2.27% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

Compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2025, net interest income increased $6 million and net interest margin increased to 3.69% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 from 3.65% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. This increase in net interest income resulted from the following:

  • A $8 million increase in interest income driven by growth in the average loan and investment balances and an increase on loan and investments yields compared to the prior quarter. The average yield on loans increased to 5.65% from 5.63% and average investment yields increased to 2.98% from 2.81% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The increases were primarily driven by the Penns Woods acquisition, including the accretion of loan fair value marks, coupled with a continued shift in loan mix towards higher yielding commercial loans and adding new securities at rates above the existing portfolio average.
  • A $2 million increase in interest expense driven higher average balances on both deposits and borrowings from the Penns Woods acquisition. Average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased slightly compared to the prior quarter to 1.97% from 1.99% for the September 30, 2025 while average cost of borrowings declined to 3.83% from 3.84% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

 Net charge-offs to average loans, annualized       0.40 % 0.29 %  0.87 %

The total provision for credit losses for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was $7.7 million primarily driven by growth in our commercial lending portfolio and net charge-offs in the current period.

The total provision for credit losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was $31 million primarily driven by the Day 1 initial provision from the Penns Woods acquisition of $20.6 million. Excluding the Day 1 provision for credit losses from the acquisition, the provision for credit losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was $10.5 million.

The Company saw an decrease in classified loans to $453 million, or 3.49% of total loans, at December 31, 2025 from $527 million, or 4.07% of total loans, at September 30, 2025 and an increase from $272 million, or 2.44% of total loans, at December 31, 2024. This decrease was driven by improvements within the commercial real estate portfolio which decreased $65 million from the prior quarter. The increase from the prior year was primarily due to classified loans acquired in the Penns Woods acquisition.

Noninterest income decreased from the quarter ended December 31, 2024 by $2 million primarily due to a decrease in other operating income driven by a gain on sale of Visa B shares and a gain on a low income housing tax credit investment in the prior year which was partially offset by an increase in income from bank-owned life insurance due to a large claim recognized in the current quarter. Noninterest income increased from the quarter ended September 30, 2025 by $6 million due primarily to an increase in income from bank-owned life insurance.

Noninterest expense increased from the quarter ended December 31, 2024 due to a $12 million increase in core compensation and benefits expense due to the addition of Penns Woods employees coupled with an increase in performance based incentive compensation expense. Additionally, non-personnel expense increased by $6 million due to an increase of $2 million of amortization of intangible expense and $1 million of merger and restructuring expense related to the acquisition coupled with increases in operating expenses due to the addition of the Penns Woods branches to our footprint.

Compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2025, personnel expense increased $2 million driven by the same factors discussed above. Non-personnel expense decreased by $22 million due to a $27 million decrease in merger and restructuring expenses in the current quarter which was offset by an increase in processing and other expense due to a full quarter of additional branches and the timing of charitable contributions.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Management uses these "non-GAAP" measures in its analysis of the Company's performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures allow for better comparability of period-to-period operating performance. Additionally, the Company believes this information is utilized by regulators and market analysts to evaluate a company's financial condition and therefore, such information is useful to investors. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. See the pages 9 and 10 of this release for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures where applicable.
