Northrim BanCorp Reports 11% Loan Growth, Net Interest Income Up 11% in Q1
Summary
Northrim BanCorp announced its first-quarter results, reporting that net income edged up to $13.70 million, with diluted EPS at $0.61. The bank demonstrated strong operational performance, with loans rising 11% year-over-year and net interest income increasing 11% to $34.70 million, driven by higher loan balances and lower deposit costs. This follows a robust 2025 where the company saw a 75% surge in net income. While the net income growth for Q1 is modest compared to the prior year's full-year performance, the significant growth in loans and net interest income indicates healthy core banking expansion. Traders will be watching to see if this strong underlying growth can accelerate net income in subsequent quarters, especially considering increased operating expenses and provision for credit losses.
