First Northwest Bancorp (FNWB+1.73%) has submitted its 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

The filing reveals total assets of $2.23 billion, with net loans amounting to $1.68 billion. Total deposits were reported at $1.69 billion, and total shareholders' equity was $153.9 million.

The company reported a net loss of $6.6 million for the year, a decrease from the previous year's net income. The loss was attributed to a decline in net interest income and an increase in the provision for credit losses.

Net interest income for the year was $56.3 million, down from $61.4 million in the prior year. The decrease was due to higher interest expenses outpacing the increase in interest income.

Interest income increased by $11.4 million, primarily due to higher yields on loans and an increase in average loan balances. However, interest expenses rose by $16.6 million due to higher costs on deposits and borrowings.

The provision for credit losses increased significantly to $16.5 million, driven by charge-offs on commercial loans and increased loss factors applied to certain loan segments.

Noninterest income rose to $12.6 million, aided by gains from the sale of branch properties and a bank-owned life insurance death benefit, despite a loss on the sale of securities.

Noninterest expenses decreased slightly to $60.0 million, with reductions in advertising and professional fees, offset by increased compensation expenses and lease costs.
