Compared to adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $34 million, or $0.26 per diluted share in the prior quarter, adjusted net income (non-GAAP) increased by $1 million to $35 million, or $0.27 per diluted share for the quarter ended December31, 2024.This increase was driven by an increase in noninterest income which was offset by an increase in provision expense of $17 million for the quarter ended December31, 2024 compared to $4.9 million for the quarter ended September30, 2024. The adjusted annualized returns on average shareholders' equity (non-GAAP) and average assets (non-GAAP) for the quarter ended December31, 2024 were 8.71%and 0.97% compared to 8.51% and 0.93% 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 February14, 2025 to shareholders of record as of February3, 2025. This is the 121st consecutive quarter in which the Company has paid a cash dividend. Based on the market value of the Company's common stock as of December31, 2024, this represents an annualized dividend yield of approximately 6.1%.

Remarking on the results, President and CEO Louis J. Torchio said, “We are pleased with our fourth quarter earnings, which demonstrate the success of our business model focused on strategic growth and transformation. Our focus on commercial banking and deposit growth has delivered an increase in average C&I loans and sustainable deposit generation while maintaining a stable cost of funds. We've entered 2025 with significant momentum driven by improvements in our net interest margin and efficiency ratio, thanks to the commitment of our entire team to produce results while managing risks and taking care of our customers.

Notably in the fourth quarter, we were pleased to announce that we entered into an agreement to acquire Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. This transaction marks another milestone in our long-term growth strategy and will place Northwest in the nation's top 100 largest banks. Our combination of companies will be strongly positioned to serve communities that are familiar to Northwest while also expanding into new markets across North Central and Northeastern Pennsylvania. We look forward to continuing our long-standing tradition of customer-focused banking in these new markets and across the entire Northwest footprint.

I am pleased to announce that for the 121st consecutive quarter, we will provide a $0.20 per share dividend, which demonstrates our continued commitment to providing value to our shareholders. Our dedication to financial stability, outstanding performance and sustainable growth remains steadfast this year, as we work to deliver benefits to our shareholders, customers, and communities.”

— Average loans receivable decreased $47million from the quarter ended December31, 2023 driven by our personal banking portfolio, which decreased by $448million as cash flows from this portfolio were reinvested in our commercial portfolios. This was partially offset by a growth in our commercial banking portfolio, which grew by $401million in total, including a $368million increase in our commercial and industrial portfolio as we have continued to build-out our commercial lending verticals. Compared to the third quarter of 2024, average loans receivable decreased by $19million. Growth was muted in the quarter as we continue to reinvest cash flows from our personal banking portfolio into our commercial banking portfolio and focus on profitability and credit discipline.

— Average investments declined $43million from the quarter ended December31, 2023 and increased $35million from the quarter ended September30, 2024. The decline from the prior year was driven by the investment portfolio restructure which occurred in the second quarter as a portion of the proceeds from the investment sale were used to reduce outstanding borrowings. The growth in average investments compared to the third quarter was due to an increase in net portfolio purchases during the quarter to reach a normalized percentage of total assets for liquidity purposes.

— Average deposits grew $232million from the quarter ended December31, 2023, driven by a $224million increase in our average time deposits as we competitively positioned our deposit products over the last year. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in money market balances as customers shifted balances into higher yielding time deposit accounts. Compared to the third quarter of 2024, average deposits declined $68million, driven by a $159million decrease in time deposits due a decline in the need for brokered CDs. This was partially offset by a $69 million increase in our average interest-bearing checking deposits.

— Average borrowings saw a reduction of $326million compared to the quarter ended December31, 2023 and a $2million increase compared to the quarter ended September30, 2024. The decrease in average borrowings is primarily attributable to the pay-down of wholesale borrowings made possible by the increase in the average balance of deposits noted above coupled with the proceeds from our investment portfolio restructuring.

Compared to the quarter ended December31, 2023, net interest income increased $8million and net interest margin increased to 3.42% from 3.16% for the quarter ended December31, 2023. This increase in net interest income resulted primarily from:

— A $13million increase in interest income that was the result of cash and marketable securities being redeployed into higher yielding loans. Driven by higher market interest rates, the average yield on loans improved to 5.56% for the quarter ended December31, 2024 from 5.19% for the quarter ended December31, 2023. This increase includes an interest recovery of $2.1 million on a non-accrual commercial loan payoff. Excluding this interest recovery, the adjusted yield on loans for the quarter ended December31, 2024 was 5.48% and the adjusted net interest margin was 3.36%.

— A $5million increase in interest expense as the result of higher costs of deposits due to the higher interest rate environment and competitive pressure for liquidity. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 2.27% for the quarter ended December31, 2024 from 2.04% for the quarter ended December31, 2023.

Compared to the quarter ended September30, 2024, net interest income increased $3million and net interest margin increased to 3.42% for the quarter ended December31, 2024 from 3.33% for the quarter ended September30, 2024. This increase in net interest income resulted from the following:

— A $4million decrease in interest expense driven by lower interest expense on deposits as average yield improved compared to the prior quarter to 2.14%from 2.27%for the quarter ended September30, 2024.

— A $1 decrease in interest income, as lower interest yields were partially offset by an interest recovery of $2.1 million on a non-accrual commercial loan payoff.

During the quarter the Company took several steps to de-risk our loan portfolio and reduce our levels of nonperforming, criticized and classified loans by completing two loan pool sales and transferring certain loans within our Long Term Healthcare portfolio into held for sale as of December31, 2024. As a result we saw an elevated level of charge-offs during the fourth quarter as the loans noted above were written-down to fair market value prior to sale. Total charge-offs related to the loan sales and transfer to loans held-for-sale was a combined $15 million. Additionally, the Company saw a decrease in classified loans to $272 million, or 2.44% of total loans, at December31, 2024 from $320 million, or 2.83% of total loans, at September30, 2024.

The total provision for credit losses for the quarter ended December31, 2024 was $16.6 million primarily driven by the elevated charge-offs discussed above, coupled with growth in our commercial lending portfolio and changes in the economic forecasts in the current period.

Noninterest income increased from the quarter ended December31, 2023 by $11millionand from the quarter ended September30, 2024 by $12million due primarily to an increase 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.

Noninterest expense increased from the quarter ended December31, 2023 due to a $3million increase in personnel expenses driven by an increase in incentive compensation and contract employee expense during the quarter.

Compared to the quarter ended September30, 2024, noninterest expense increased due to a $3million decrease in personnel expense driven by a decline in contract employee expense and employee benefit expenses, which were more than offset by an increase in non-personnel expense of $8million due to $3 million of merger and restructuring expenses in the current quarter as well as an increase in processing and other expense due to technology investments and the timing of charitable contributions.

The provision for income taxes increased by $2 million from the quarter ended December31, 2023 and remained flat from the quarter ended September30, 2024 primarily due to the quarterly change in income before income taxes.

Net income increased from the quarter ended December31, 2023, due to the factors discussed above, and decreased from the quarter ended September30, 2024 due to the factors discussed above.
