bottom line

Northrim's core bank earned more in the third quarter of 2026. Net interest income rose 10% to $38.9M and the margin reached 4.96%. Strip out one-off gains, deal costs and mortgage valuation marks, though, and pre-provision profit was only about 1% above a year earlier by my calculation. Credit has also turned: nonperforming assets more than tripled to $42.9M, led by an $8.8M impairment on one $20.0M factoring-unit loan. The allowance now covers 82% of bad loans, against 208% a year ago. Capital and liquidity sit well above requirements, so the deciding variables are recoveries on that loan and the all-stock PBCO acquisition, which adds about 27% more shares.

what changed this quarter

  • Net income was $14.4M ($0.63 per diluted share), against $27.1M ($1.20) a year earlier, which had included a $14.2M Pacific Wealth Advisors gain. Adjusted EPS was $0.60 versus $0.72.
  • The company recorded an $8.8M impairment on a single $20.0M Specialty Finance relationship, cutting after-tax earnings by about $0.29 per share.
  • Deposits reached $3.05B, up 5% year on year. Uninsured deposits rose to 45% of the total from 38% at December 31.
  • Shareholders of both companies approved the PBCO merger on October 20. About 5.95M shares are expected to be issued, with closing expected on or about January 1, 2027, subject to regulatory approvals.
  • The quarterly dividend rose to $0.17 from $0.16.

in the full report

Its findings, each with the evidence, the strongest counterpoint and what would prove it wrong:

  • The core bank earns more, but underlying pre-provision profit barely grew
  • One factoring credit went from unflagged to 44% reserved in a single quarter
  • Problem loans rose in Community Banking too
  • PBCO will reshape the company on about 27% more shares

Then its finances, the quality of its earnings, its management, the case for and against, and what to watch, its claims cited to the filings and checked against them.
