NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements have not been audited, and they include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the wholly owned subsidiaries of Northrim Bank (the “Bank”). Significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had one wholly-owned business trust subsidiary, Northrim Statutory Trust 2 (“Trust 2”), that was formed to issue trust preferred securities and related common securities of Trust 2. The Company has not consolidated the accounts of Trust 2 in its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As a result, the junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company to Trust 2 are reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as junior subordinated debentures.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The Company determined that it operates in three primary operating segments: Community Banking, Home Mortgage Lending, and Specialty Finance. The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure. Operating results for the interim period ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2026. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no significant changes in our application of these accounting policies in 2026, except for the addition of the following item.

Subordinated Debt: The Company’s subordinated debt is recorded at its contractual principal amount net of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discounts or premiums, if any. The debt is subordinate in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company, as defined in the related indenture or credit agreement. Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with subordinated debt are deferred and presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt and are amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest method. Interest expense related to subordinated debt includes cash interest and the amortization of debt issuance costs and is recognized in interest expense in the consolidated statements of income.

Common Stock Split

On September 18, 2025, the Company effected a four-for-one forward stock split of its common stock, a proportionate increase the number of authorized shares of the common stock from 10,000,000 to 40,000,000 and proportionate decrease in the par value of the common stock from $1.00 per share to $0.25 per share. All share, equity award and per share amounts presented throughout this Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the common stock split.

Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations or total shareholders' equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting pronouncements to be implemented in future periods

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). This updated mandates that public business entities provide detailed disclosures in the notes to the financial statements, breaking down specific expense categories such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities included in each relevant expense cation. The objective is to enhance transparency, enabling investors to gain a clearer understanding of the nature and impact of these expenses on the Company's financial performance. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and may be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company intends to adopt ASU 2024-03 prospectively and does not believe that the adoption will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑08, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans (“ASU 2025-08”). The amendments in ASU 2025‑08 are intended to simplify and improve the accounting for acquired loans under the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) model by expanding the use of the “gross‑up” approach currently applied only to purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) assets. Under prior generally accepted accounting principles, entities were required to distinguish between PCD and non‑PCD acquired loans, resulting in differing Day 1 accounting and concerns about complexity, comparability, and perceived double‑counting of credit losses for non‑PCD loans. ASU 2025‑08 creates a new category of “purchased seasoned loans,” defined as acquired loans—in a business combination or acquired more than 90 days after origination—other than credit cards, that meet certain criteria. These loans must now be accounted for using the gross‑up approach. This method requires an entity to recognize an allowance for expected credit losses at the acquisition date with a corresponding increase to the loan’s amortized cost basis, eliminating Day 1 credit loss expense while reducing subsequent interest income. Existing guidance for PCD assets remains unchanged. ASU 2025‑08 is effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and must be applied prospectively to loans acquired after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025‑08 but does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2025, FASB issued ASU 2025‑09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements (“ASU 2025‑09”). The amendments in ASU 2025‑09 clarify and expand certain aspects of hedge accounting to better align financial reporting with the economics of an entity’s risk‑management activities. The ASU addresses stakeholder feedback following the implementation of prior hedge accounting guidance and issues arising from the global transition away from LIBOR. The amendments include targeted improvements across several areas of hedge accounting. Among the key changes, ASU 2025‑09 (i) expands the ability to aggregate forecasted transactions with similar risk exposures in cash flow hedges, (ii) introduces a model that facilitates hedge accounting for forecasted interest payments on “choose‑your‑rate” debt instruments, (iii) broadens hedge accounting for forecasted purchases and sales of nonfinancial assets, and (iv) updates guidance related to net written options used as hedging instruments. These improvements are intended to reduce complexity, increase consistency, and enhance the decision‑usefulness of hedge accounting outcomes. ASU 2025‑09 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025‑09 and does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow‑Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025‑11”). The amendments are intended to improve the clarity and navigability of interim reporting requirements within Topic 270 by clarifying when interim reporting guidance applies, enhancing the organization of required interim disclosures, and specifying the form and content of interim financial statements. The guidance responds to stakeholder feedback that existing interim reporting requirements were difficult to navigate because of the historical origins and accumulated amendments within Topic 270. ASU 2025‑11 adds a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events that occur after the end of the most recent annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments also introduce a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures drawn from various Codification topics and clarify the presentation requirements for interim financial statements, including condensed financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Importantly, the ASU does not change the fundamental nature of interim reporting nor expand or reduce existing disclosure requirements; rather, it improves clarity and consistency across entities that issue interim financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. ASU 2025‑11 is effective for the Company for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025‑11 and does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑12, Codification Improvements (“ASU 2025‑12”). This Update is part of the FASB’s ongoing project to address stakeholder‑identified issues in the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments consist of technical corrections, clarifications, and other incremental improvements intended to enhance the clarity, consistency, and usability of U.S. GAAP. These Codification improvements are not expected to significantly affect current accounting practices or impose substantial costs on most entities. The amendments span a wide range of Topics and include clarifications to diluted earnings‑per‑share calculations, updates to disclosure requirements for certain lease receivables, refinements to the calculation of reference amounts for beneficial interests, clarification of permissible methods for treasury stock retirements, and guidance regarding the transfer and measurement of receivables arising from contracts with customers. Although the updates are largely non‑substantive, certain clarifications may affect how entities apply existing guidance where the prior Codification language was ambiguous or inconsistent. ASU 2025‑12 is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025‑12 and does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

2. Investment Securities

Marketable Equity Securities

The Company held marketable equity securities with fair values of $10.1 million at March 31, 2026 and $8.4 million at December 31, 2025, respectively. The realized and unrealized gains (losses) recognized on marketable equity securities in other operating income in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income were as follows:

Debt securities

Debt securities have been classified in the financial statements as available for sale or held to maturity. The following table summarizes the amortized cost, estimated fair value, and the Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) of debt securities and the corresponding amounts of gross unrealized gains and losses of available-for-sale securities recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and gross unrecognized gains and losses of held to maturity securities at the periods indicated:

Gross unrealized losses on available for sale securities and the fair value of the related securities, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were as follows:

Management evaluates available for sale debt securities and securities held to maturity in unrealized loss positions to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Consideration is given to the extent to which the fair value is less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

At March 31, 2026, the Company had 16 available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position without an ACL that have been in a loss position for less than twelve months. There were 22 available for sale securities without an ACL with unrealized losses at March 31, 2026 that have been in a loss position for more than twelve months. At March 31, 2026, the Company had two held to maturity securities in an unrealized loss position without an ACL that have been in a loss position for more than twelve months. There was one held to maturity security without an ACL with an unrealized loss at March 31, 2026 that had been in a loss position for less than twelve months. Management does not have the intent to sell any of these securities and believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2026, management believes that the unrealized losses detailed in the previous table are due to noncredit-related factors, primarily changes in interest rates and other market conditions, and therefore no losses have been recognized in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, carrying amounts of $214.9 million and $210.3 million in securities were pledged for deposits and borrowings, respectively.

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of available for sale and held to maturity debt securities at March 31, 2026, are distributed by contractual maturity as shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

There were no proceeds from sales of investment securities for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2026 and 2025.

A summary of interest income for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2026 and 2025, on available for sale investment securities are as follows:

3. Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale are comprised entirely of 1-4 family residential mortgage loans as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company designates loans held for sale as either carried at fair value or the lower of cost or fair value at loan level at origination.

Loans Held for Investment

The following table presents amortized cost and unpaid principal balance of loans, categorized by the segments used in the Company's CECL methodology to assess credit risk, for the periods indicated:

The difference between the amortized cost and unpaid principal balance is net deferred origination fees totaling $9.6 million at March 31, 2026 and $10.2 million at December 31, 2025.

Accrued interest on loans, which is excluded from the amortized cost of loans held for investment, totaled $11.1 million and $9.6 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and is included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The table below presents activity in the ACL related to loans held for investment for the periods indicated.

The following table shows gross charge-offs by year of loan origination for the periods indicated:

Credit Quality Information

As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management utilizes a loan risk grading system called the Asset Quality Rating (“AQR”) system to assign a risk classification to each of its loans. The risk classification is a dual rating system that contemplates both probability of default and risk of loss given default. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 10 and, loans graded 1 – 6 are considered “pass” grade loans. Loans graded 7 or higher are considered “criticized” loans. A description of the general characteristics of the AQR risk classifications are as follows:

Pass grade loans – 1 through 6: The borrower demonstrates sufficient cash flow to fund debt service, including acceptable profit margins, cash flows, liquidity and other balance sheet ratios. Historic and projected performance indicates that the borrower is able to meet obligations under most economic circumstances. The borrower has competent management with an acceptable track record. The category does not include loans with undue or unwarranted credit risks that constitute identifiable weaknesses.

Criticized loans:

Special Mention – 7: A “special mention” credit has weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset at some future date.

Substandard – 8: A “substandard” credit is inadequately protected by the current worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – 9: An asset classified “doubtful” has all the weaknesses inherent in one that is classified "substandard-8" with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The loan has substandard characteristics, and available information suggests that it is unlikely that the loan will be repaid in its entirety.

Loss – 10: An asset classified “loss” is considered uncollectible and of such little value that its continuance on the books is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

The following tables present the Company's portfolio of risk-rated loans by grade and by year of origination. Management considers the guidance in ASC 310-20 when determining whether a modification, extension, or renewal of loan constitutes a current period origination. Generally, current period renewals of credit are re-underwritten at the point of renewal and considered current period originations for purposes of the table below.

Past Due Loans: The following tables present an aging of contractually past due loans as of the periods presented:

Nonaccrual loans: Nonaccrual loans net of government guarantees totaled $14.2 million and $12.0 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The following table presents loans on nonaccrual status and loans on nonaccrual status for the periods presented for which there was no related ACL. All loans with no ACL are individually evaluated for credit losses in the Company's CECL methodology.

There was no interest on nonaccrual loans reversed through interest income during the three-month periods ending March 31, 2026 or March 31, 2025.

There was no interest earned on nonaccrual loans with a principal balance during the three-month periods ending March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025. However, the Company recognized interest income of $68,000 and $42,000 in the three-month periods ending March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, related to interest collected on nonaccrual loans whose principal had been paid down to zero.

Loan Modifications: The Company modifies loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as a normal part of our business. These modifications include providing term extensions/modifications, payment modifications, interest rate modifications, or, on rare occasions, principal forgiveness. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged-off against the ACL. The Company may provide multiple types of concessions on any one loan.

The following table shows the amortized cost basis of the loans that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified during the periods indicated, by class and type of modification. The percentage of the amortized cost basis of loans that were modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as compared to the amortized cost basis of each class of financing receivable is also presented below:

• Three Months Ended March 31, 2026
• Payment Modification Term and payment modifications Total Modifications Percentage of Class of Financing Receivable
• (In Thousands)
• Commercial real estate:
• Owner occupied properties $— $— $— — %
• Total $— $— $— — %

The Company has no outstanding unfunded commitments to the borrowers included in the previous table.

The following table presents the financial effect of the loan modifications presented above to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as of the dates indicated:

• Three Months Ended March 31, 2026
• Principal Forgiveness Weighted-Average Interest Rate Reduction Weighted-Average Term Extension (months)

• Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
• Principal Forgiveness Weighted-Average Interest Rate Reduction Weighted-Average Term Extension (months)
• (In Thousands)
• Commercial real estate:
• Owner occupied properties $— — % 33

The following table presents the amortized cost basis of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as of the dates indicated. These are loans that have been modified within twelve months of the dates indicated:

The following table presents the amortized cost basis of loans that had a payment default during the periods indicated and were modified in the twelve months before default to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty:

• Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
• Term modification
• (In Thousands)
• Residential real estate:
• 1-4 family residential properties secured by junior liens and revolving secured by 1-4 family first liens $—
• Total $—

The Company monitors the performance of loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. The following table presents the payment performance of loans that have been modified in the last twelve months as of the date indicated:

Upon the Company's determination that a modified loan (or a portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the ACL is adjusted by the same amount.

4. Purchased Receivables

Purchased receivables are carried at their principal amount outstanding, net of an ACL, and have a maturity of less than one year. Income on purchased receivables is accrued and recognized on the principal amount outstanding using an effective interest method except when management believes doubt exists as to the collectability of the income or principal. There were no nonperforming purchased receivables as of March 31, 2026 and there was one nonperforming purchased receivable with a balance of $67,000 as of December 31, 2025 for which management was not accruing income.

The following table summarizes the components of net purchased receivables for the dates indicated:

The following table sets forth information regarding changes in the ACL on purchased receivables for the periods indicated:

5. Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights

The following table details the activity in the Company's mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

(1) Principally reflects changes in discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions, which are primarily affected by changes in interest rates.

(2) Represents changes due to collection/realization of expected cash flows over time.

The following table details information related to our serviced mortgage loan portfolio as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

The Company recognized servicing fees of $1.6 million and $1.5 million during the three-month periods ending March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which includes contractually specified servicing fees and ancillary fees as a component of other noninterest income in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following table outlines the weighted average key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of MSRs and the sensitivity of the current fair value of MSRs to immediate adverse changes in those assumptions as of the dates indicated. See Note 9 for additional information on key assumptions for MSR fair value determinations.

1Prepayment speeds are influenced by mortgage interest rates as well as our estimation of drivers of borrower behavior.

These sensitivities in the preceding table are hypothetical and caution should be exercised when relying on this data. Changes in value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumption to the change in the value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the value of the MSR held is calculated independently without changing any other assumptions. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in others, which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

Commercial servicing rights

The commercial servicing rights asset (“CSR”) has a carrying value of $2.4 million at March 31, 2026 and $2.3 million at December 31, 2025, respectively, and is included in other assets and carried at fair value on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Total commercial loans serviced for others were $298.4 million and $296.2 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the CSR as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 include a constant prepayment rate of 11.71% and a discount rate of 12.00%.

6. Leases

The Company's lease commitments consist primarily of agreements to lease land and office facilities that it occupies to operate several of its retail branch locations that are classified as operating leases and are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has operating lease ROU assets of $11.7 million and operating lease liabilities of $11.9 million. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had operating lease ROU assets of $5.9 million and operating lease liabilities of $5.9 million. The Company did not have any agreements that are classified as finance leases as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

The Company entered into a new seven year lease for the headquarters building for Residential Mortgage in the first quarter of 2026. Upon commencement, the operating lease ROU assets increased $6.3 million and the operating lease liabilities increased $6.4 million.

The following table presents additional information about the Company's operating leases for the periods indicated:

The table below reconciles the remaining undiscounted cash flows for the next five years for each twelve-month period presented (unless otherwise indicated) and the total of the subsequent remaining years to the operating lease liabilities recorded on the balance sheet:

7. Derivatives

Derivatives swaps related to community banking activities: Interest rate swaps

The Company enters into commercial loan interest rate swap agreements with commercial banking customers which are offset with a corresponding swap agreement with a third party financial institution (“counterparty”). The Company has agreements with its counterparties that contain provisions that provide that if the Company fails to maintain its status as a “well-capitalized” institution under applicable regulatory guidelines, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements. These agreements also require that the Company and the counterparty collateralize any fair value shortfalls that exceed $250,000 with eligible collateral, which includes cash and securities backed with the full faith and credit of the federal government. Similarly, the Company could be required to settle its obligations under the agreement if specific regulatory events occur, such as if the Company were issued a prompt corrective action directive or a cease and desist order, or if certain regulatory ratios fall below specified levels. The Company pledged $598,000 as of March 31, 2026 and $596,000 as of December 31, 2025, in available for sale securities to collateralize fair value shortfalls on interest rate swap agreements.

At March 31, 2026, the notional amount of interest rate swaps is made up of 27 variable to fixed rate swaps to commercial loan customers totaling $178.0 million with a fair value of negative $8.1 million and 27 fixed to variable rate swaps with a counterparty totaling $178.0 million with a fair value of $8.1 million. Changes in fair value from these 27 interest rate swaps offset each other in the three-month periods ending March 31, 2026. The Company recognized zero and $129,000 in fee income related to interest rate swaps in the three-month periods ending March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Interest rate swap income is recorded in other operating income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. None of these interest rate swaps are designated as hedging instruments.

The Company has an interest rate swap to hedge the variability in cash flows arising out of a portion of its junior subordinated debentures, which is floating rate debt, by swapping the cash flows with an interest rate swap which receives floating and pays fixed. The Company has designated this interest rate swap as a hedging instrument. The interest rate swap effectively fixes the Company's interest payments on the $10.0 million of junior subordinated debentures held under Northrim Statutory Trust 2 at 3.72% through its maturity date. The floating rate that the dealer pays is equal to the three month CME SOFR plus tenor spread adjustment 0.26% plus 1.37%, which reprices quarterly on the payment date. This rate was 5.31% as of March 31, 2026. The Company pledged $130,000 in cash to collateralize initial margin and fair value exposure of our counterparty on this interest rate swap as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The fair value of this interest rate swap was $1.4 million as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, which is included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Changes in the fair value of this interest rate swap are reported in other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The unrealized gain, net of tax on this interest rate swap was $1.0 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Derivatives related to home mortgage banking activities: Interest rate lock commitments and retail interest rate contracts

The Company also uses derivatives to hedge the risk of changes in the fair values of interest rate lock commitments. The Company enters into commitments to originate residential mortgage loans at specific rates; the value of these commitments are detailed in the table below as “interest rate lock commitments”. The Company also hedges the interest rate risk associated with its residential mortgage loan commitments, which are referred to as “retail interest rate contracts” in the table below. Market risk with respect to commitments to originate loans arises from changes in the value of contractual positions due to changes in interest rates. Residential Mortgage, LLC (“RML”) had commitments to originate mortgage loans held for sale totaling $85.8 million and $45.7 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The fair value of these interest rate lock commitments was $1.6 million and $923,000 at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Changes in the value of RML's interest rate derivatives are recorded in mortgage banking income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. None of these derivatives are designated as hedging instruments.

The following table presents the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

The following table presents the net gains (losses) of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments for periods indicated below:

Our derivative transactions with counterparties under International Swaps and Derivative Association master agreements include “right of set-off” provisions. “Right of set-off” provisions are legally enforceable rights to offset recognized amounts and there may be an intention to settle such amounts on a net basis. We do not offset such financial instruments for financial reporting purposes.

The following table summarizes the derivatives that have a right of offset as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

8 . Subordinated Debt

Junior Subordinated Debentures

In December of 2005, the Company formed a wholly-owned Connecticut statutory business trust subsidiary, Northrim Statutory Trust 2 (the “Trust 2”), which issued $10 million of guaranteed undivided beneficial interests in the Company’s Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (“Trust Preferred Securities 2”). These debentures qualify as Tier 1 capital under Federal Reserve Board guidelines. All of the common securities of Trust 2 are owned by the Company. The proceeds from the issuance of the common securities and the Trust Preferred Securities 2 were used by Trust 2 to purchase $10.3 million of junior subordinated debentures of the Company. Trust 2 is not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP; therefore, the Company has recorded its investment in Trust 2 as an other asset and the subordinated debentures as a liability. The debentures, which represent the sole asset of Trust 2, accrue and pay distributions quarterly at a variable rate of 90-day CME SOFR plus tenor spread adjustment 0.26% plus 1.37% per annum, adjusted quarterly, of the stated liquidation value of $1,000 per capital security as of December 31, 2024. The interest rate on these debentures was 5.31% at March 31, 2026 compared to 5.35% at December 31, 2025. The interest cost to the Company on these debentures was $138,000 and $154,000 in the first quarters of 2026, and 2025, respectively. The Company has entered into contractual arrangements which, taken collectively, fully and unconditionally guarantee payment of: (i) accrued and unpaid distributions required to be paid on the Trust Preferred Securities 2; (ii) the redemption price with respect to any Trust Preferred Securities 2 called for redemption by Trust 2; and (iii) payments due upon a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding up or liquidation of Trust 2. The Trust Preferred Securities 2 are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity of the debentures on March 15, 2036, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indenture. The Company has the right to redeem the debentures purchased by Trust 2 in whole or in part, on or after March 15, 2011. As specified in the indenture, if the debentures are redeemed prior to maturity, the redemption price will be the principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest.

Subordinated Debentures

In November of 2025, the Company issued and sold $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.875% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2035 (the “Subordinated Notes”). The Subordinated Notes were issued by the Company to the Purchasers at a price equal to 100% of their face amount. The Subordinated Notes mature on December 1, 2035 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.875% per year, from November 26, 2025 to, but excluding, December 1, 2030 or the date of earlier redemption, payable semi-annually in arrears. From and including December 1, 2030 to, but excluding, the maturity date or earlier redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly at a variable rate equal to the then current three-month SOFR, plus 3.48% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. As provided in the Subordinated Notes, the interest rate on the Subordinated Notes during the applicable floating rate period may be determined based on a rate other than three-month term SOFR. The interest cost to the Company on these debentures was $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2026. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $1.4 million which will amortize through December 1, 2035. The amortization expense amounted to $35,000 in the first quarter of 2026. Prior to December 1, 2030, the Company may redeem the Subordinated Notes, in whole but not in part, only under certain limited circumstances set forth in the indenture governing the Subordinated Notes. On or after December 1, 2030, the Company may redeem the Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, at its option, on any interest payment date. Any redemption by the Company would be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Subordinated Notes being redeemed, together with any accrued and unpaid interest on the Subordinated Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The Subordinated Notes are not subject to redemption at the option of the holder. Principal and interest on the Subordinated Notes are subject to acceleration only in limited circumstances in the case of certain bankruptcy and insolvency-related events with respect to the Company. The Subordinated Notes are unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company, are not obligations of, and are not guaranteed by, any subsidiary of the Company, and rank junior in right of payment to the Company’s current and future senior indebtedness. The Subordinated Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital of the Company for regulatory capital purposes.

9. Fair Value Measurements

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Investment securities available for sale and marketable equity securities: Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Servicing rights: MSR and CSR are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These assets are classified as Level 3 as quoted prices are not available. In order to determine the fair value of MSR and CSR, the present value of net expected future cash flows is estimated. Assumptions used include market discount rates,

Interest rate swaps: The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements is determined using standard valuation models that calculate the present value of expected future cash flows. These valuation models incorporate observable market inputs, including contractual terms, interest rate yield curves, forward interest rates, and credit risk adjustments. The Company classifies its interest rate swaps within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Interest rate lock commitments: The fair value of the interest rate lock commitments are estimated using quoted or published market prices for similar instruments, adjusted for factors such as pull-through rate assumptions based on historical information, where appropriate. The pull-through rate assumptions are considered Level 3 valuation inputs and are significant to the interest rate lock commitment valuation; as such, the interest rate lock commitment derivatives are classified as Level 3.

Retail interest rate contracts: Retail interest rate contracts are valued in a model, which uses as its basis a discounted cash flow technique incorporating credit valuation adjustments to reflect nonperformance risk in the measurement of fair value. Although the Company has determined that the majority of inputs used to value its retail interest rate contracts fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of March 31, 2026, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of these adjustments on the overall valuation of its retail interest rate contracts and has determined that they are not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, the Company has classified its retail interest rate contract valuations in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit: The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligation with the counterparties at the reporting date.

Assets Subject to Nonrecurring Adjustment to Fair Value

The Company is also required to measure certain assets such as equity method investments, goodwill, intangible assets, impaired loans, and Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Any nonrecurring adjustments to fair value usually result from the write-down of individual assets.

The Company uses either in-house evaluations or external appraisals to estimate the fair value of OREO and impaired loans as of each reporting date. In-house appraisals are considered Level 3 inputs and external appraisals are considered Level 2 inputs. The Company’s determination of which method to use is based upon several factors. The Company takes into account compliance with legal and regulatory guidelines, the amount of the loan, the size of the assets, the location and type of property to be valued and how critical the timing of completion of the analysis is to the assessment of value. Those factors are balanced with the level of internal expertise, internal experience and market information available, versus external expertise available such as qualified appraisers, brokers, auctioneers and equipment specialists.

Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Estimated fair values as of the periods indicated, whether or not recognized or recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are as follows:

The following table sets forth the balances as of the periods indicated of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The following tables provide a reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on a recurring basis during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

There were no changes in unrealized gains and losses for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2026 and 2025 included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and there were no transfers between levels during the three-month periods ending March 31, 2026 and 2025.

As of and for the periods ending March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, except for certain assets as shown in the following table, no impairment or valuation adjustment was recognized for assets recognized at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. For loans individually measured for credit losses, the Company classifies fair value measurements using observable inputs, such as external appraisals, as Level 2 valuations in the fair value hierarchy, and unobservable inputs, such as in-house evaluations, as Level 3 valuations in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents the (gains) losses resulting from nonrecurring fair value adjustments for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

10. Segment Information

The Company's operations are managed along three operating segments: Community Banking, Home Mortgage Lending, and Specialty Finance. The Company reevaluated our reportable operating segments in the fourth quarter of 2024 concurrent with the acquisition of Sallyport Commercial Finance, LLC (“SCF”), which resulted in the addition of the Specialty Finance segment. The Community Banking segment's principal business focus is the offering of loan and deposit products to business and consumer customers in its primary market areas. As of March 31, 2026, the Community Banking segment operated 20 branches throughout Alaska. The Home Mortgage Lending segment's principal business focus is the origination and sale of mortgage loans for 1-4 family residential properties, mortgage loan servicing for a portion of mortgage loans sold, and investment in certain 1-4 family residential mortgage loans on our balance sheet. The Specialty Finance segment's principal business focus is factoring, asset based lending and alternative working capital solutions to small and medium sized enterprises, and includes SCF and Northrim Funding Services, which was previously reported in the Community Banking segment prior to the acquisition of SCF.

The Company's reportable segments are determined by our Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Executive Officer, whom collectively are the designated chief operating decision maker. The reportable segments are determined based on information provided about the Company's products and services offered. They are also distinguished by the level of information provided to the chief operating decision maker, who uses the information to review performance of various components of the business, which are then aggregated if operating performance, products and services, and customers are similar. The chief operating decision maker evaluates the financial performance of the Company's business components such as by evaluating revenue streams, significant expenses, and budget to actual results in assessing the performance of the Company's segments and in the determination of allocating resources. Segment pretax net income or loss is used to assess the performance of the community banking segment by monitoring the margin between interest income and interest expense and the efficiency ratio specific to the segment. Segment pretax net income or loss is used to assess the performance of the home mortgage lending segment by monitoring the premium received on loan sales, the margin between interest income and interest expense, and the profitability of home mortgage servicing activities. Segment pretax net income or loss is used to assess the performance of the specialty finance segment by monitoring pretax income and the yield of purchased receivable fees.

Accounting policies for segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Interest expense is allocated to each segment based on average cash utilized to fund the operations of the segment and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the consolidated entity. Indirect salary expense for activities such as general management, accounting and finance, human resources, compliance, information technology, risk management, and internal audit are allocated based on the average percentage of employee time spent working in each specific segment.

Summarized financial information for the Company's reportable segments and the reconciliation to the consolidated financial results for the periods presented is shown in the following tables:

1The significant expense categories and amounts align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. All expenses are allocated to a segment.

2Other segment items for each reportable segment include:

Community Banking: OREO (income) expense, net of rental income and gains on sale, director fees, operational charge offs net of recoveries, loan collection and collateral costs, and other miscellaneous operating costs related to community banking activities.

Home Mortgage Lending: OREO (income) expense, net of rental income and gains on sale related home mortgage loans, director fees related at RML, loan collection and collateral costs related to home mortgage loans, and other miscellaneous operating costs related to home mortgage lending activities.

Specialty Finance: miscellaneous operating costs related to specialty finance activities.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and the notes thereto presented elsewhere in this report and with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Except as otherwise noted, references to “we”, “our”, “us” or “the Company” refer to Northrim BanCorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries that are consolidated for financial reporting purposes.

Return on average assets, annualized 1.69% 1.76% Return on average shareholders' equity, annualized 16.60% 19.70% Dividend payout ratio 26.25% 26.82%

Nonperforming assets: Nonperforming assets, net of government guarantees were $15.3 million at March 31, 2026 and $11.4 million at December 31, 2025. Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”), net of government guarantees was $1.0 million at March 31, 2026 and zero at December 31, 2025. Repossessed assets were zero at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Nonperforming loans, net of government guarantees increased $2.9 million or 25% to $14.2 million as of March 31, 2026 from $11.3 million as of December 31, 2025, primarily due to the addition of four loans in the first three months of 2026. Nonperforming purchased receivables decreased $67,000 or 100% to zero as of March 31, 2026 from $67,000 as of December 31, 2025 as a result of a paydown received on one relationship. Of the nonperforming assets, net of government guarantees at March 31, 2026, $10.5 million are attributable to the Community Banking segment, $499,000 are attributable to the Home Mortgage Lending segment, and $4.3 million are attributable to the Specialty Finance segment.

Potential problem assets: Potential problem loans are loans which are currently performing in accordance with contractual terms but that have developed negative indications that the borrower may not be able to comply with present payment terms and which may later be included in nonaccrual or past due. These loans are closely monitored and their performance is reviewed by management on a regular basis. All potential problem loans are individually evaluated for the purposes of establishing an allowance for credit losses. At March 31, 2026, management had identified $20.1 million potential problem loans, down slightly from $21.2 million at December 31, 2025. This decrease is primarily due to paydowns which occurred in the first quarter of 2026.

Summary of Critical Accounting Estimates

Our critical accounting estimates are described in detail in Part II. Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes to the valuation techniques or assumptions within the models that affect our estimates during the first quarter of 2026.

Allowance for Credit Losses Policy: Management performs a hypothetical sensitivity analysis of our ACL quarterly to understand the impact of a change in a key input on our ACL. As of March 31, 2026, if the four-quarter U.S. unemployment rate forecast had been approximately 3% higher and the four-quarter annualized growth rate in the U.S. Gross Domestic Product had been approximately 13% lower, our ACL for loans would have increased $483,000, or 2%. As of March 31, 2026, if the four-quarter national unemployment rate forecast had been approximately 28% higher and the four-quarter annualized growth rate in the U.S. Gross Domestic Product had been approximately 6% lower, which represents management's estimate of long-term mean rates for these economic factors, our ACL for loans would have increased $2.4 million, or 10%. As of March 31, 2026, if the estimated prepayment and curtailment rates are doubled (with a maximum rate of 100%), our ACL for loans would have decreased $2.2 million, or 9%. As of March 31, 2026, if the estimated prepayment and curtailment rates are cut in half, our ACL for loans would have increased $1.8 million, or 7%. These sensitivity analyses include the impact to both the quantitative and qualitative components of our ACL. Changes in quantitative inputs and qualitative loss factors may not occur in the same direction or magnitude across all segments of our loan portfolio and deterioration in some quantitative inputs and qualitative loss factors may offset improvement in others. This sensitivity analysis does not represent a change to our expectations of the economic environment but provides a hypothetical result to assess the sensitivity of the ACL to a change in a key input. This sensitivity analysis does not incorporate changes to management’s judgment of qualitative loss factors.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2025

Net Income

Net income for the first quarter of 2026 increased $351,000 to $13.7 million as compared to $13.3 million for the same period in 2025. The increase in net income in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the same quarter a year ago is mostly due to a $3.4 million increase in net interest income and a $2.2 million increase in mortgage banking income. These increases were only partially offset by a $2.5 million increase in other operating expenses and $2.4 million increase in provision for credit losses.

Analysis of Business Segments

Our business segments are defined as Community Banking, Home Mortgage Lending, and Specialty Finance. The following table summarizes net income from our segments. Additional information about segment performance is presented in Note 10 to the Financial Statements included in Part I - Item 1 of this report.

Community Banking

Net income in the Community Banking segment decreased $288,000 or 3% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to an increase in the provision for credit losses and salaries and other personnel expense which were only partially offset by an increase in net interest income which totaled $31.8 million in the first quarter of 2026, and $28.2 million in the first quarter of 2025. Net interest income increased $3.7 million or 13% in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025 mostly due to higher interest income on loans and deposits in banks as well as lower interest expense on deposits.

The provision for credit losses in the Community Banking segment was $153,000 in the first quarter of 2026 compared to a benefit to the provision for credit losses of $1.8 million in the same quarter a year ago. The increase to the provision for credit losses in the Community Banking segment in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the same quarter a year ago was primarily a result of the fact that there were changes in the Company's loss rate regression models for commercial, commercial real estate, and construction loans in the first quarter of 2025.

Other operating expenses in the Community Banking segment totaled $20.4 million in the first quarter of 2026, up $1.8 million or 10% from $18.6 million in the first quarter a year ago. The increase in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the same quarter a year ago was mostly due to a $1.6 million increase in salaries and other personnel expense, which includes $771,000 in higher salary expense and a $296,000 increase in group medical expenses, as well as increases in occupancy expense, marketing expense, professional fees, and data processing expense. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in insurance expense. Insurance expense decreased due to a decrease in FDIC insurance expense resulting primarily from higher capital ratios. The issuance of subordinated debentures in the fourth quarter of 2025 positively impacted the Company's risk based capital ratios which benefited the FDIC's calculation for insurance expense.

Home Mortgage Lending

Net income in the Home Mortgage Lending segment increased $282,000 or 35% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to higher mortgage servicing revenue, which was only partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses, higher other operating expenses, and lower net interest income in the Home Mortgage Lending segment. During the first quarter of 2026, mortgage loans funded for sale were $123.4 million, compared to $108.5 million in the first quarter of 2025.

The provision for credit losses in the Home Mortgage Lending segment was $562,000 in the first quarter of 2026 compared to a benefit to the provision for credit losses of $307,000 in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in the provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2026 in the Home Mortgage Lending segment as compared to the same quarter a year ago was primarily a result of higher growth in loan balances.

Other operating expenses in the Home Mortgage Lending segment totaled $7.2 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $6.5 million in the first quarter a year ago. The increase in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the same quarter a year ago was mostly due to increases in salaries and other personnel expense due to higher commissions paid to mortgage originators due to higher volume.

The Arizona, Colorado, and Pacific Northwest mortgage expansion markets were responsible for 35% of Residential Mortgage's $152 million total production in the first quarter of 2026 and 20% of $122 million total production in the first quarter a year ago.

As of March 31, 2026, Northrim serviced 6,637 loans in its $1.64 billion home-mortgage-servicing portfolio, an 11% increase from the $1.48 billion serviced a year ago.

Specialty Finance

Net income in the Specialty Finance segment increased $357,000 or 21% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to increased purchased receivable balances.

Average purchased receivables and loan balances for the Specialty Finance segment were $132.2 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to average balances of $97.1 million for the first quarter of 2025.

Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2026 increased 11% or $3.4 million, to $34.7 million as compared to $31.3 million for the first quarter of 2025. The net interest margin increased 17 basis points to 4.72% in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to 4.55% in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in net interest income in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily the result of increased interest on loans, loans held for sale, interest bearing deposits in other banks, and long term investments, as well as a decrease in interest expense on deposits, which were only partially offset by an increase in interest expense on borrowings. The increase in net interest margin in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the same period of 2025 was primarily due to a favorable change in the mix of earning-assets towards higher loan balances as a percentage of total earning-assets as well as a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits.

Components of Net Interest Margin

The following table compares average balances and rates as well as margins on earning assets for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Average yields or costs are calculated on a tax-equivalent basis.

1Consists of interest bearing deposits in other banks and domestic CDs.

2Consists of investment securities available for sale, investment securities held to maturity, marketable equity securities, and investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock.

3Interest income includes loan fees. Loan fees recognized during the period and included in the yield calculation totaled $1.2 million and $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

4Nonaccrual loans are included with a zero effective yield. Average nonaccrual loans included in the computation of the average loan balances were $13.2 million and $7.6 million in the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

5The Company does not have any fed funds sold or securities purchased with agreements to resell to disclose as part of its total interest-earning assets in the periods presented.

6Tax-equivalent yields/costs assume a federal tax rate of 21% and state tax rate of 7.43% for a combined tax rate of 28.43%.

The following tables set forth the changes in consolidated net interest income attributable to changes in volume and to changes in interest rates for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2026 and 2025. Changes attributable to the combined effect of volume and interest rate have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to interest rates. The Company did not have any fed funds sold or securities purchased with agreements to resell for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision or benefit for credit loss is the amount of expense or benefit that, based on our judgment, is required to maintain the Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) at an appropriate level under the Company's Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) model. The determination of the amount of the ACL is complex and involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity. The following table presents the major categories of credit loss expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

The increase to the provision for credit losses on loans in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the same period a year ago was primarily a result of higher growth loan balances as well as an increase in individually evaluated loans. The decrease to the provision for unfunded commitments in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to changes in the loss rate on unfunded commitments.

Fluctuations in the provision for credit losses in the future will be dependent upon changes in economic conditions and forecasts, as well as loan portfolio composition, quality, and duration.

Other Operating Income

Other operating income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 increased $1.8 million, or 14%, to $14.9 million as compared to $13.0 million for the same period in 2025, primarily due to a $2.2 million increase in mortgage banking income in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same quarter a year ago. The fair value of marketable equity securities decreased $206,000 in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same quarter a year ago.

Other Operating Expense

Other operating expense for the first quarter of 2026 increased $2.5 million, or 9%, to $30.6 million as compared to $28.2 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $2.3 million increase in salaries and other personnel expense, which was partially offset by a decrease in insurance expense. The increase in salaries and other personnel expense was primarily due to higher salaries and higher commissions paid to mortgage originators due to higher volume. The decrease in insurance expense was primarily due to the decrease in FDIC insurance expense resulting primarily from higher capital ratios noted above.

Income Taxes

For the first quarter of 2026, Northrim recorded a lower effective tax rate as compared to the same period in 2025 primarily as a result of an increase in tax credits and tax exempt interest income as a percentage of pre-tax income in 2026 as compared to 2025. In the first quarter of 2026, Northrim recorded $4.3 million in state and federal income tax expense, for an effective tax rate of 23.85% compared to $4.3 million and 24.19% for the same period in 2025.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT MARCH 31, 2026 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2025

Balance Sheet Overview

Investment Securities

Investment Securities include investment securities available for sale, investment securities held to maturity, and marketable equity securities, at March 31, 2026 increased 1% to $460.3 million from $455.8 million at December 31, 2025 primarily due to purchases of available for sale securities during the first three months of 2026.

The table below details portfolio investment balances by portfolio investment type as of the periods indicated:

The average estimated duration of the investment portfolio at March 31, 2026, was approximately 2.2 years. As of March 31, 2026, $109.0 million of available for sale securities with a weighted average yield of 1.55% are scheduled to mature in the next six months, $68.3 million with a weighted average yield of 2.15% are scheduled to mature in six months to one year, and $84.8 million with a weighted average yield of 3.41% are scheduled to mature in the following year, representing a total of $262.1 million or 9% of earning assets that are scheduled to mature in the next 24 months.

Loans and Lending Activities

The following table presents the concentration distribution of the loan portfolio, net of deferred fees and costs, as of the dates indicated:

Loans increased by $63.2 million, to $2.36 billion at March 31, 2026 from $2.30 billion at December 31, 2025, primarily as a result of increases 1-4 family residential loans secured by first liens, other loans, and commercial and industrial loans in the first three month of 2026.

Information about industry concentrations

The Company defines “direct exposure” to the oil and gas industry as companies that it has identified as significantly reliant upon activity related to the oil and gas industry, such as oilfield services, lodging, equipment rental, transportation, and other logistic services specific to the industry. The Company estimates that $127.8 million, or approximately 5% of loans as of March 31, 2026 have direct exposure to the oil and gas industry as compared to $123.4 million, or approximately 5% of loans as of December 31, 2025. The Company's unfunded commitments to borrowers that have direct exposure to the oil and gas industry were $79.6 million and $88.6 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The portion of the Company's ACL that related to the loans with direct exposure to the oil and gas industry was estimated at $2.0 million as of March 31, 2026 and $1.6 million as of December 31, 2025.

The following table details loan balances by loan segment and class of financing receivable for loans with direct oil and gas exposure as of the dates indicated:

The Company monitors other concentrations within the loan portfolio depending on trends in the current and future estimated economic conditions. At March 31, 2026, the Company had $150.9 million, or 6% of portfolio loans, in the Accommodations sector, $133.2 million, or 6% of portfolio loans, in the Healthcare sector, $121.3 million, or 5% of portfolio loans, in the Tourism sector, $101.4 million, or 4% of portfolio loans, in the Retail sector, $92.1 million, or 4% of portfolio loans, in the Aviation (non-tourism) sector, $62.5 million, or 3% in the Restaurant sector, and $60.7 million, or 3% of portfolio loans, in the Fishing sector.

The portion of the Company's ACL that related to the loans with exposure to these industries is estimated at the following amounts as of March 31, 2026:

The following table sets forth information regarding changes in the ACL for purchased receivables as of the periods indicated:

The ACL for loans held for investment at March 31, 2026 increased $1.1 million from December 31, 2025 primarily due to increased loan balances and an increase in the ACL for individually evaluated loans. While management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the ACL, unforeseen market conditions and other events could result in adjustment to the ACL, and net income could be significantly affected if circumstances differed substantially from the assumptions used in making the final determination of the ACL.

Deposits

Deposits are the Company’s primary source of funds. Total deposits increased $60.7 million, or 2%, to $2.87 billion as of March 31, 2026 compared to $2.81 billion as of December 31, 2025, primarily due to new deposit relationships and normal seasonal fluctuations. The following table summarizes the Company's composition of deposits as of the periods indicated:

The Company’s mix of deposits continues to contribute to a low cost of funds with balances in transaction accounts representing 86% of total deposits at March 31, 2026 and 86% of total deposits at December 31, 2025.

The only deposit category with stated maturity dates is certificates of deposit. At March 31, 2026, the Company had $391.1 million in certificates of deposit as compared to certificates of deposit of $402.8 million at December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, $365.6 million, or 93%, of the Company’s certificates of deposits are scheduled to mature over the next 12 months as compared to $369.2 million, or 92%, of total certificates of deposit at December 31, 2025. The aggregate amount of certificates of deposit in amounts of $250,000 and greater at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, was $196.0 million and $208.2 million, respectively. The following table sets forth the amount outstanding of deposits in amounts of $250,000 and greater by time remaining until maturity and percentage of total deposits as of March 31, 2026:

At March 31, 2026, 75% of total deposits were held in business accounts and 25% of deposit balances were held in consumer accounts. Northrim had approximately 33,000 deposit customers with an average balance of $64,000 as of March 31, 2026. Northrim had 33 customers with balances over $10 million as of March 31, 2026 which accounted for $721.0 million, or 25%, of total deposits.

Uninsured deposits totaled approximately $1.14 billion or 40% of total deposits as of March 31, 2026 compared to $1.1 billion or 38% of total deposits as of December 31, 2025. There was no unusual deposit activity during the first three months of 2026.

Borrowings

FHLB: The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (the “FHLB”). As a member, the Bank is eligible to obtain advances from the FHLB. FHLB advances are dependent on the availability of acceptable collateral such as marketable securities or real estate loans, although all FHLB advances are secured by a blanket pledge of the Bank’s assets. At March 31, 2026, our maximum borrowing line from the FHLB was approximately 45% of the Bank’s assets, subject to the FHLB’s collateral requirements. Based on the Company's current collateral pledged to the FHLB, less outstanding advances, the Company's borrowing line is $469.9 million as of March 31, 2026. The Company has outstanding advances of $12.7 million as of March 31, 2026 which were originated to match fund low income housing projects that qualify for long term fixed interest rates. These advances have original terms of either 18 or 20 years with 30 year amortization periods and fixed interest rates ranging from 1.23% to 3.25%.

Federal Reserve Bank: The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the “Federal Reserve Bank”) is holding $70.0 million of securities as collateral to secure the Company's ability to take advances through the discount window on March 31, 2026. There were no discount window advances outstanding at either March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

Other Short-term Borrowings: The Company is subject to provisions under Alaska state law, which generally limit the amount of outstanding debt to 15% of total assets or $500.5 million at March 31, 2026 and $490.6 million at December 31, 2025.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no short-term (original maturity of one year or less) borrowings that exceeded 30% of shareholders’ equity.

Long-term Borrowings. The Company had no long-term borrowing outstanding other than the FHLB advances noted above as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had trust preferred securities in the principal amount of $10 million. These securities carry an interest rate of 90-day CME SOFR plus tenor spread adjustment of 0.26% plus 1.37% per annum, adjusted quarterly. The securities have a maturity date of March 15, 2036, and are callable by the Company on or after March 15, 2011. These securities are treated as Tier 1 capital by the Company’s regulators for capital adequacy calculations. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the securities had an interest rate of 5.31% and 5.35%, respectively. The Company entered into an interest rate swap in the third quarter of 2017 to hedge the variability in cash flows arising out of its junior subordinated debentures, by swapping the cash flows with an interest rate swap which receives floating and pays fixed. The Company has designated this interest rate swap as a hedging instrument. The interest rate swap effectively fixes the Company's interest payments on the $10 million of junior subordinated debentures held under NST2 at 3.72% through its maturity date. Net of the impact of the interest rate swap, interest expense on these securities was $93,000 in the first quarter of 2026 and $92,000 in the first quarter of 2025. The Company also had interest expense of $4,000 in the first quarter of 2026 and $5,000 in the first quarter of 2025 on common securities related to this junior subordinated debt.

Subordinated Debentures

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.875% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2035 (the “Subordinated Notes”). The Subordinated Notes mature on December 1, 2035 and currently carry interest at a fixed rate of 6.875% per year. The interest cost to the Company on the Subordinated Notes was $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2026. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $1.4 million which will be amortized through December 1, 2035. The amortization expense amounted to $35,000 in the first quarter of 2026. The Subordinated Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital of the Company for regulatory capital purposes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company is a single bank holding company and its primary ongoing source of liquidity is from dividends received from the Bank. Such dividends arise from the cash flow and earnings of the Bank. Banking regulations and regulatory authorities may limit the amount of, or require the Bank to obtain certain approvals before paying, dividends to the Company. Given that the Bank currently meets, and the Bank anticipates that it will continue to meet, all applicable capital adequacy requirements for a “well-capitalized” institution by regulatory standards, the Company expects to continue to receive dividends from the Bank during the remainder of 2026. Other available sources of liquidity for the bank holding company include the issuance of debt and the issuance of common or preferred stock. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has 40.0 million authorized shares of common stock, of which approximately 22.2 million are issued and outstanding, leaving approximately 17.8 million shares available for issuance. Additionally, the Company has 2.5 million authorized shares of preferred stock available for issuance.

The Bank manages its liquidity through its Asset and Liability Committee. The Bank's primary source of funds are customer deposits. These funds, together with loan repayments, loan sales, maturity and sale of investment securities, borrowed funds, and retained earnings are used to make loans, to acquire securities and other assets, and to fund deposit flows and continuing operations. The primary sources of demands on our liquidity are customer demands for withdrawal of deposits and borrowers’ demands that we advance funds against unfunded lending commitments.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $154.9 million, or 5% of total assets at March 31, 2026 compared to $145.9 million, or 4% of total assets as of December 31, 2025. The increase in cash and cash equivalents since the end of 2025 is primarily due to an increase in deposits. The Company had other comprehensive loss, net of tax, of $394,000 for the three-month period ending March 31, 2026 primarily due to unrealized holding gains on available for sale securities. Accumulated unrealized losses, net of income taxes on available for sale securities, which are recorded in total shareholders' equity, are $927,000 as of March 31, 2026. Accumulated unrealized losses, net of income taxes on held to maturity securities, which are not recorded in shareholders' equity, are $763,000 as of March 31, 2026. Management does not believe that liquidation of these securities, which would result in realized losses, will occur prior to maturity of these securities. As of March 31, 2026, the weighted average maturity of available for sale securities is 2.2 years as compared to 2.0 years as of December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, $177.3 million available for sale securities mature within one year, $84.8 million mature within one to two years, and $65.6 million mature within two to three years. Our total unfunded commitments to fund loans and letters of credit at March 31, 2026 were $625.4 million. We do not expect that all of these loans are likely to be fully drawn upon at any one time. At March 31, 2026, certificates of deposit totaling $365.6 million are scheduled to mature over the next 12 months and may be withdrawn from the Bank. Similar to loans, we do not expect that these maturing certificates of deposit, or other non-maturity deposits, to be withdrawn from the Bank in a manner that will strain liquidity; however, unforeseen future circumstances or events may cause higher than anticipated withdrawal of deposits or draws of unfunded commitments to fund new loans. Management believes that cash requirements to fund future non-deposit and non-borrowing liabilities, including operating lease liabilities and other liabilities, as of March 31, 2026, are not material to the Company's liquidity position as of March 31, 2026.

The Company has other available sources of liquidity to fund unforeseen liquidity requirements. These include borrowings available through our correspondent banking relationships and our credit lines with the Federal Reserve Bank and the FHLB. At March 31, 2026, our liquid assets, which include investments and loans maturing within a year, were $1.06 billion. Our funds available for borrowing under our existing lines of credit based on loans currently pledged and investments available to be pledged as collateral were $606.2 million. Given these sources of liquidity and our expectations for customer demands for cash and for our operating cash needs, we believe our sources of liquidity to be sufficient for the foreseeable future.

As shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in Part I - Item 1 “Financial Statements” of this report, net cash provided by operating activities was $27.2 million for the first three months of 2026, primarily due to net proceeds from the sale of loans held for sale and cash provided by net income, which was only partially offset by cash used in connection with the origination of loans held for sale. Net cash used by investing activities was $75.7 million for the same period, primarily due to an increase in loans and purchases of long term investments which were only partially offset by maturities and calls of available for sale and held to maturity securities. Net cash provided by financing activities in the first three months of 2025 was $57.5 million, primarily due to increases in deposits which were only partially offset by cash dividends paid to shareholders.

Throughout our history, the Company has periodically repurchased for cash a portion of its shares of common stock in the open market. At March 31, 2026, there are no shares remaining under the repurchase program, and we did not repurchase any shares in the first quarter of 2026. The Company currently has no plans to repurchase shares of its common stock in 2026.

Capital Requirements and Ratios

We are subject to minimum capital requirements. Federal banking agencies have adopted regulations establishing minimum requirements for the capital adequacy of banks and bank holding companies. The requirements address both risk-based capital and leverage capital. We believe as of March 31, 2026, that the Company and the Bank met all applicable capital adequacy requirements for a “well-capitalized” institution by regulatory standards.

The table below illustrates the capital requirements in effect for the periods noted for the Company and the Bank and the actual capital ratios for each entity that exceed these requirements. Management intends to maintain capital ratios for the Bank in 2026, exceeding the FDIC’s requirements for the “well-capitalized” classification. Some capital ratios for the Company exceed those for the Bank primarily because the $10 million trust preferred securities offering and the $60 million in Subordinated Notes are included in the Company’s capital for regulatory purposes, although they are accounted for as a long-term debt in our consolidated financial statements. These items are not accounted for on the Bank’s financial statements nor are they included in its capital. As a result, the Company has $70 million more in regulatory capital than the Bank at March 31, 2026, which explains most of the difference in the capital ratios for the two entities.

See Note 23 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II. Item 8 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for a detailed discussion of the capital ratios. The requirements for “well-capitalized” come from the Prompt Corrective Action rules. See Part I. Item 1 - Business - Supervision and Regulation in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. These rules apply to the Bank but not to the Company. Under the rules of the Federal Reserve Bank, a bank holding company such as the Company is generally defined to be “well capitalized” if its Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio is 8.0% or more and its total risk-based capital ratio is 10.0% or more.
