Exhibit 99.1 PORT ANGELES, Wash., July 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) First Northwest Bancorp Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results First Northwest Bancorp (Nasdaq: FNWB) ("First Northwest" or the "Company"), the holding company for First Fed Bank ("First Fed" or the "Bank"),
How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
Traders can update expectations for earnings power based on the reported net income inflection, stable deposit cost (2.04%), credit-loss provision recapture ($337k), and capital stability (risk-based capital 13.4%), while monitoring NIM decline (2.95%) and ongoing legal expense.
Market read
A fresh quarterly print with multiple actionable balance-sheet and profitability datapoints, plus a forward-looking timing statement for efficiency benefits.
What to watch
Efficiency ratio is still high (101.3) and the company expects benefits to start late 2026, so the market may discount near-term earnings quality and focus on execution risk into 2027.
Background
The SEC 8-K includes Exhibit 99.1 with Q2 2026 financial results and management’s midpoint 2026 transformation update for First Northwest Bancorp and its bank subsidiary, First Fed Bank.
Ticker impact
First Northwest Bancorp reports Q2 2026 net income of $308,000, deposit growth, and a recapture of credit-loss provisions, plus updated balance-sheet and margin metrics.
Near-term bias modestly positive, but likely limited given small earnings base and ongoing efficiency/legal-fee drag.
The filing provides multiple concrete datapoints (net income, deposits, brokered deposits down, NIM down, risk-based capital stable) and management commentary on efficiency gains expected late 2026 to 2027, which can influence valuation and forward expectations.
Market effects
Regional bank read-through: deposit growth and stable funding costs versus NIM pressure, plus credit provision recapture signals improving credit expectations.
Potential sentiment impact for Pacific Northwest community banking peers via comparable deposit and CRE exposure management.
Low; primarily company-specific regional bank fundamentals.
Counterpoint
Despite the provision recapture and deposit growth, net interest margin fell to 2.95% and legal fees remain elevated, which could cap upside if NIM compression persists.
