DIXON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- First Northern Community Bancorp (the “Company�, OTCQX: FNRN), holding company for First Northern Bank (“First Northern� or the “Bank�), today reported net income of $9.1 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, up 5.0% compared to net income of $8.7 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, was $5.5 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, up 23.6% compared to net income of $4.4 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Total assets as of June 30, 2025, were $1.87 billion, a decrease of $16.0 million, or 0.9%, compared to June 30, 2024. Total net loans (including loans held-for-sale) as of June 30, 2025, were $1.06 billion, an increase of $14.1 million, or 1.3%, compared to total net loans (including loans held-for-sale) of $1.05 billion as of June 30, 2024. The increase in net loans was primarily driven by growth in commercial loans, which was partially offset by net reductions in commercial real estate, agricultural, and residential mortgage loans. Total deposits as of June 30, 2025, were $1.66 billion, a decrease of $43.8 million, or 2.6%, compared to June 30, 2024.

The Company continued to be “well capitalized� under regulatory definitions, exceeding the 10% total risk-based capital ratio threshold as of June 30, 2025.

Commenting on the Company’s second quarter financial results, First Northern Bank’s President & Chief Executive Officer, Jeremiah Z. Smith, stated, “We are pleased to report strong second quarter results, with net income increasing by 23.6% compared to the same quarter last year. Our net margin expanded to 3.85%, an increase of 19 basis points from 3.66%, driving a $1.0 million, or 6.1%, increase in net interest income when compared to the year prior. This improvement was due to higher yields on our loan and securities portfolios, along with disciplined deposit pricing that kept interest-bearing liability costs nearly flat during the quarter. We recorded no provision for credit losses in the quarter, due to the release of a $2.8 million specific reserve initially recorded during the first quarter of 2025. The release of specific provision was offset by an increase in pooled and unfunded reserves tied to loan growth and changes in economic forecasts.�

Commenting further, President & CEO Smith stated: “We remain committed to improving shareholder value. During the first two quarters of the year, we repurchased 215,883 shares for total consideration of $2.2 million. Shareholders� equity improved from $187.8 million on March 31, 2025, to $194.9 million on June 30, 2025 - an increase of $7.1 million, or 3.8%, primarily driven by net income of $5.5 million and a $2.3 million improvement in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the quarter. As a result, book value per share increased $0.51 to $12.32 as of June 30, 2025, up 4.3% compared to March 31, 2025.�
