NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation and Informational Disclosures

Northwest Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company” or “NWBI”), a Maryland corporation headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, is a bank holding company regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”). The primary activity of the Company is the ownership of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Northwest Bank, a Pennsylvania-chartered savings bank (“Northwest”). Northwest is regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking. Northwest operates 150 community-banking offices throughout Pennsylvania, Western New York, Eastern Ohio, and Indiana.

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, Northwest, and Northwest’s subsidiaries Northwest Capital Group, Inc., Great Northwest Corporation, and MutualFirst Interest Company, Inc. The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information or footnotes required for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations have been included. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared using the accounting policies described in the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 updated, as required, for any new pronouncements or changes.

Certain items previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s reporting format.

The results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022, or any other period.

Allowance for Credit Losses and Provision for Credit Losses Update

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Bank implemented a new model to calculate the allowance for credit losses on our vehicle loan portfolio. Additionally, as part of the process, we re-assessed our loan segmentation and loans that were previously included in our consumer loan portfolio were moved into our vehicle loan portfolio. The change in segmentation was driven by underlying collateral types, and the loans continue to share similar risk characteristics.

The allowance for credit losses within the vehicle loan portfolio is calculated using a non-discounted cash flow model developed by an external third-party. Monthly probabilities of default and prepayments are estimated for each loan, along with estimates of exposure at default and loss given default. The model utilizes loan, borrower, and collateral characteristics, and macroeconomic data as inputs.

Stock-Based Compensation

On May 18, 2022, the Company awarded employees 150,027 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with a weighted average discounted grant date fair value of $11.00.

Income Taxes-Uncertain Tax Positions

Accounting standards prescribe a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. A tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable, based on its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. We had a $241,000 liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

We recognize interest accrued related to: (1) unrecognized tax benefits in other expenses and (2) refund claims in other operating income. We recognize penalties (if any) in other expenses. We are subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service and any state in which we conduct business for the tax periods ended December 31, 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

The Company does not believe that the available-for-sale debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2022, which were comprised of 664 individual securities, represents a credit loss impairment. All of these securities were issued by U.S. government agencies, U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, local municipalities, or represent corporate debt. The securities issued by the U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. The corporate debt issues and securities issued by local municipalities were all highly rated by major rating agencies and have no history of credit losses. The unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in the interest rate environment and not due to the credit quality of these investment securities. The Company does not have the intent to sell these investment securities and it is likely that we will not be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery, which may be at maturity.

All of the Company’s held-to-maturity debt securities are issued by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. These securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. Therefore, the Company did not record an allowance for credit losses for these securities as of September 30, 2022.

The following table presents the credit quality of our held-to-maturity securities, based on the latest information available as of September 30, 2022 (in thousands). The credit ratings are sourced from nationally recognized rating agencies, which include Moody’s and S&P, or when credit ratings cannot be sourced from the agencies, they are presented based on asset type. All of our held-to-maturity securities were current in their payment of principal and interest as of September 30, 2022.

Table of Contents

Our loan portfolios include loans that have been modified in a TDR, where concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from our loss mitigation activities and could include: extending the note’s maturity date, permitting interest only payments, reducing the interest rate to a rate lower than current market rates for new debt with similar risk, reducing the principal payment, principal forbearance or other actions. These concessions are applicable to all loan segments and classes. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructuring and may be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a period of at least six months.

When we modify loans in a TDR, we evaluate any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, the loan’s observable market price or the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs, for collateral dependent loans. If we determine that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premiums or discounts), impairment is recognized through an allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance. In periods subsequent to modification, we evaluate all TDRs, including those that have payment defaults, for possible impairment in accordance with ASC 310-10. As a result, loans modified in a TDR may have the financial effect of increasing the specific allowance associated with the loan.

Loans modified in a TDR are closely monitored for delinquency as an early indicator of possible future default. If loans modified in a TDR subsequently default, we evaluate the loan for possible further impairment. The allowance may be increased, adjustments may be made in the allocation of the allowance, partial charge-offs may be taken to further write-down the carrying value of the loan, or the loan may be charged-off completely.

In March 2020 and August 2020, joint statements were issued by federal and state regulatory agencies, after consultation with the FASB, to clarify that short-term loan modifications are not TDRs if made on a good-faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief. Under this guidance, six months is provided as an example of short-term, and current is defined as less than 30 days past due at the time the modification program is implemented. The guidance also provides that these modified loans generally will not be classified as nonaccrual during the term of the modification. For borrowers who are 30 days or more past due when enrolling in a loan modification program related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we evaluate the loan modifications under our existing TDR framework, and where such a loan modification would result in a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the loan will be accounted for as a TDR and will generally not accrue interest. This TDR relief under the CARES Act was extended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (“CAA”), signed into law on December 27, 2020. Under the CAA, such relief will continue until the earlier of 60 days after the date the COVID-19 national emergency comes to an end or January 1, 2022. Certain loan modifications made during the prior year were done in accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act and the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus. Accordingly, these loans were not categorized as TDRs.

Credit Quality Indicators: For Commercial Banking we categorize loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. We analyze loans individually by classifying the loans by credit risk. Credit relationships greater than or equal to $1.0 million classified as special mention or substandard are reviewed quarterly for deterioration or improvement to determine if the loan is appropriately classified. We use the following definitions for risk ratings other than pass:

Special Mention — Loans designated as special mention have specific, well-defined risk issues, which create a high level of uncertainty regarding the long-term viability of the business. Loans in this class are considered to have high-risk characteristics. A special mention loan exhibits material negative financial trends due to company-specific or systemic conditions. If these potential weaknesses are not mitigated, they threaten the borrower’s capacity to meet its debt obligations. Special mention loans still demonstrate sufficient financial flexibility to react to and positively address the root cause of the adverse financial trends without significant deviations from their current business strategy. Their potential weaknesses deserve our close attention and warrant enhanced monitoring.

Substandard — Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and payment capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful — Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard. In addition, those weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable. A loan classified as doubtful exhibits discernible loss potential, but a complete loss seems very unlikely. The possibility of a loss on a doubtful loan is high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors that may strengthen the loan, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until a more exact status can be determined.

Loss — Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such value that the continuance as a loan is not warranted. A loss classification does not mean that the loan has no recovery or salvage value; instead, it means that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off all or a portion of a basically worthless loan even though partial recovery may be possible in the future.

For Personal Banking loans a pass risk rating is maintained until they are greater than 90 days past due, and risk rating reclassification is based primarily on past due status of the loan. The risk rating categories can generally be described by the following groupings:

Pass — Loans classified as pass are homogeneous loans that are less than 90 days past due from the required payment date at month-end.

Table of Contents

Substandard — Loans classified as substandard are homogeneous loans that are greater than 90 days past due from the required payment date at month-end, loans classified as TDRs or homogenous retail loans that are greater than 180 days past due from the required payment date at month-end that has been written down to the value of underlying collateral, less costs to sell.

Doubtful — Loans classified as doubtful are homogeneous loans that are greater than 180 days past due from the required payment date at month-end and not written down to the value of underlying collateral. These loans are generally charged-off in the month in which the 180 day period elapses.

(5) Borrowed Funds

(a) Borrowings

Borrowed funds at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are presented in the following table:


	September 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
	Amount		Average rate		Amount		Average rate

Note payable to the FHLB of Pittsburgh, due within one year	$	11,900	3.11	%	$	—	—	%




Collateralized borrowings, due within one year	98,315		0.18	%	139,093		0.19	%
Collateral received, due within one year	39,821		3.08	%	—		—
Total borrowed funds	$	150,036			$	139,093

Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Pittsburgh, if any, are secured by our residential first mortgage and other qualifying loans. Certain of these borrowings are subject to restrictions or penalties in the event of prepayment.

The revolving line of credit with the FHLB of Pittsburgh carries a commitment of $250.0 million. The rate is adjusted daily by the FHLB of Pittsburgh, and any borrowings on this line may be repaid at any time without penalty. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the balance of the revolving line of credit was $11.9 million and $0, respectively.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, collateralized borrowings due within one year were $98.3 million and $139.1 million, respectively. These borrowings are collateralized by cash or various securities held in safekeeping by the FHLB.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, collateral received was $39.8 million and $0, respectively. This represents collateral posted to us from our derivative counterparties.

On September 9, 2020, the Company issued $125.0 million of 4.00% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes with a maturity date of September 15, 2030. The subordinated notes, which qualify as Tier 2 capital, bear interest at an annual rate of 4.00%, payable semi-annually in arrears commencing on March 15, 2021, and a floating rate of interest equivalent to the 3-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 3.89% payable quarterly in arrears commencing on December 15, 2025. The subordinated debt issuance costs of approximately $1.8 million are being amortized over five years on a straight-line basis into interest expense. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, subordinated debentures, net of issuance costs, were $113.8 million and $123.6 million, respectively.

(b) Trust Preferred Securities

The Company has seven statutory business trusts: Northwest Bancorp Capital Trust III, a Delaware statutory business trust, Northwest Bancorp Statutory Trust IV, a Connecticut statutory business trust, LNB Trust II, a Delaware statutory business trust, Union National Capital Trust I (“UNCT I”), a Delaware statutory business trust, Union National Capital Trust II (“UNCT II”), a Delaware statutory business trust, MFBC Statutory Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust, and Universal Preferred Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trusts”). The Trusts exist solely to issue preferred securities to third parties for cash, issue common securities to the Company in exchange for capitalization of the Trusts, invest the proceeds from the sale of trust securities in an equivalent amount of debentures of the Company, and engage in other activities that are incidental to those previously listed.

The Trusts have invested the proceeds of the offerings in junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures issued by the Company. The structure of these debentures mirrors the structure of the trust-preferred securities. These subordinated debentures are the sole assets of the Trusts. As the shareholders of the trust preferred securities are the primary beneficiaries of the Trusts, the Trusts are not consolidated in our financial statements.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth a summary of the cumulative trust preferred securities and the junior subordinated debt held by the Trust as of the date listed.


	Maturity date	Interest rate	Capital debt securities		September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021

(1) Net of discounts due to the fair value adjustment made at the time of acquisition.

Cash distributions on the trust securities are made on a quarterly basis to the extent interest on the debentures is received by the Trusts. We have the right to defer payment of interest on the subordinated debentures at any time, or from time-to-time, for periods not exceeding five years. If interest payments on the subordinated debentures are deferred, the distributions on the trust securities also are deferred. To date there have been no interest deferrals. Interest on the subordinated debentures and distributions on the trust securities is cumulative. Our obligation constitutes a full, irrevocable, and unconditional guarantee on a subordinated basis of the obligations of the trust under the preferred securities.

The Trusts must redeem the preferred securities when the debentures are paid at maturity or upon an earlier redemption of the debentures to the extent the debentures are redeemed. All or part of the debentures may be redeemed at any time. Also, the debentures may be redeemed at any time if existing laws or regulations, or the interpretation or application of these laws or regulations, change causing:

•the interest on the debentures to no longer be deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes;

•the trusts to become subject to federal income tax or to certain other taxes or governmental charges;

•the trusts to register as an investment company; or

•the preferred securities to no longer qualify as Tier I capital.

We may, at any time, dissolve any of the Trusts and distribute the debentures to the trust security holders, subject to receipt of any required regulatory approvals.

(6) Guarantees

We issue standby letters of credit in the normal course of business. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally are contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party. We are required to perform under a standby letter of credit when drawn upon by the guaranteed third party in the case of nonperformance by our customer. The credit risk associated with standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and is subject to normal loan underwriting procedures. Collateral may be obtained based on management’s credit assessment of the customer. At September 30, 2022, the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these non-recourse standby letters of credit was $47.8 million, of which $37.6 million is fully collateralized. At September 30, 2022, we had a liability which represents deferred income of $710,000 related to the standby letters of credit.

In addition, we maintain a $5.0 million credit limit with a correspondent bank for private label credit card facilities for certain existing commercial clients of the Bank, of which $727,000 of the credit limit was allocated to credit cards that have been issued. These issued credit cards had an outstanding balance of $62,000 at September 30, 2022. The clients of the Bank are responsible for repaying any balances due on these credit cards directly to the correspondent bank; however, if the customer fails to repay their balance, the Bank could be required to satisfy the obligation to the correspondent bank and initiate collection from our customer as part of the existing credit facility of that customer.

(7) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without considering any dilutive items. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS (in thousands, except share data and per share amounts):

(9) Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We are required to disclose fair value information about financial instruments whether or not recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. Fair value information of certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments is not required to be disclosed. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

Financial assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis and certain financial assets and liabilities on a non-recurring basis are accounted for using a three-level hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices with readily available independent data in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable market

Table of Contents

inputs (Level 3). When various inputs for measurement fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the lowest level input that has a significant impact on fair value measurement is used.

Financial assets and liabilities are categorized based upon the following characteristics or inputs to the valuation techniques:

• Level 1 - Financial assets and liabilities for which inputs are observable and are obtained from reliable quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in actively traded markets. This is the most reliable fair value measurement and includes, for example, active exchange-traded equity securities.

• Level 2 - Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which values are based on similar assets or liabilities that are actively traded. Level 2 also includes pricing models in which the inputs are corroborated by market data, for example, matrix pricing.

• Level 3 - Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Level 3 inputs include the following:

◦Quotes from brokers or other external sources that are not considered binding;

◦Quotes from brokers or other external sources where it cannot be determined that market participants would in fact transact for the asset or liability at the quoted price; and

◦Quotes and other information from brokers or other external sources where the inputs are not deemed observable.

We are responsible for the valuation process and as part of this process may use data from outside sources in establishing fair value. We perform due diligence to understand the inputs used or how the data was calculated or derived. We also corroborate the reasonableness of external inputs in the valuation process.

The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition approximate fair value for the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities available-for-sale, residential mortgage loans held-for-sale, accrued interest receivable, interest rate lock commitments, forward commitments, interest rate swaps, savings and checking deposits, foreign exchange swaps, risk participation agreements, and accrued interest payable.

Marketable Securities

Where available, market values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes, and prices obtained from independent pricing services.

Debt Securities — available-for-sale - Generally, debt securities are valued using pricing for similar securities, recently executed transactions and other pricing models utilizing observable inputs. The valuation for most debt securities is classified as Level 2. Securities within Level 2 include corporate bonds, municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities and U.S. government obligations. Certain debt securities which were AAA rated at purchase do not have an active market and as such we have used an alternative method to determine the fair value of these securities. The fair value has been determined using a discounted cash flow model using market assumptions, which generally include cash flow, collateral and other market assumptions. As such, securities which otherwise would have been classified as Level 2 securities if an active market for those assets or similar assets existed are included herein as Level 3 assets.

Debt Securities — held-to-maturity - The fair value of debt securities held-to-maturity is determined in the same manner as debt securities available-for-sale.

Loans Receivable

Loans with comparable characteristics including collateral and re-pricing structures are segregated for valuation purposes. Each loan pool is separately valued utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis. Projected monthly cash flows are discounted to present value using a market rate for comparable loans, which is not considered an exit price. Characteristics of comparable loans include remaining term, coupon interest, and estimated prepayment speeds. Delinquent loans are separately evaluated given the impact delinquency has on the projected future cash flow of the loan including the approximate discount or market rate, which is not considered an exit price.

Loans Held-for-Sale

The estimated fair value of loans held-for-sale is based on market bids obtained from potential buyers.

FHLB Stock

Due to the restrictions placed on transferability of FHLB stock, it is not practical to determine the fair value. FHLB stock is recorded at cost.

Deposit Liabilities

The estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, which includes demand deposits, money market, and other savings accounts, is the amount payable on demand. Although market premiums paid for depository institutions reflect an additional value for these low-cost deposits, adjusting fair value for any value expected to be derived from retaining those deposits for a future period of time or from the benefit that results from the ability to fund interest-earning assets with these deposit liabilities is prohibited. The fair value estimates of deposit liabilities do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by these deposits compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market. Fair values for time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies contractual cost currently being offered in the existing portfolio to current market rates being offered locally for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The valuation adjustment for the portfolio consists of the present value of the difference of these two cash flows, discounted at the assumed market rate of the corresponding maturity.

Borrowed Funds

Fixed rate advances are valued by comparing their contractual cost to the prevailing market cost. The carrying amount of repurchase agreements approximates their fair value.

Subordinated Debentures

The fair value of our subordinated debentures is calculated using the discounted cash flows at rates observable for other similarly traded liabilities.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

The fair value of junior subordinated debentures is calculated using the discounted cash flows at the prevailing rate of interest.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments and Forward Commitments

The fair value of interest rate lock commitments is based on the value of underlying loans held-for-sale which is based on quoted prices for similar loans in the secondary market. This value is then adjusted based on the probability of the loan closing (i.e., the “pull-through” amount, a significant unobservable input). The fair value of forward sale commitments is based on quoted prices from the secondary market based on the settlement date of the contracts.

Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange Swap Agreements and Risk Participation Agreements

The fair value of interest rate swaps is based upon the present value of the expected future cash flows using the LIBOR swap curve, the basis for the underlying interest rate. To price interest rate swaps, cash flows are first projected for each payment date using the fixed rate for the fixed side of the swap and the forward rates for the floating side of the swap. These swap cash flows are then discounted to time zero using LIBOR zero-coupon interest rates. The sum of the present value of both legs is the fair market value of the interest rate swap. These valuations have been derived from our third party vendor’s proprietary models rather than actual market quotations. The proprietary models are based upon financial principles and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. The fair value of the foreign exchange swap is derived from proprietary models rather than actual market quotations. The proprietary models are based upon financial principles and assumptions we believe to be reasonable. Risk participation agreements are entered into when Northwest purchases a portion of a commercial loan that has an interest rate swap. Northwest assumes credit risk on its portion of the interest rate swap should the borrower fail to pay as agreed. The value of risk participation agreements is determined based on the value of the swap after considering the credit quality, probability of default, and loss given default of the borrower.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

These financial instruments generally are not sold or traded, and estimated fair values are not readily available. However, the fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements. Commitments to extend credit are generally short-term in nature and, if drawn upon, are issued under current market terms. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was no significant unrealized appreciation or depreciation on these financial instruments.

Individually Assessed Loans - A loan is considered to be individually assessed as described in Note 1(f) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We classify loans individually assessed as nonrecurring Level 3.

Real Estate Owned - Real estate owned is comprised of property acquired through foreclosure or voluntarily conveyed by borrowers. These assets are recorded on the date acquired at the lower of the related loan balance or fair value, less estimated disposition costs, with the fair value being determined by appraisal. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are valued at the lower of the amount recorded at acquisition date or fair value, less estimated disposition costs. We classify real estate owned as nonrecurring Level 3.

The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis and for which we have utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value at September 30, 2022 (in thousands):

(10) Derivative Financial Instruments

We are a party to derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to manage our own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and to meet the needs of our customers. The primary derivatives that we use are interest rate swaps and caps and foreign exchange contracts, which are entered into with counterparties that meet established credit standards. We believe that the credit risk inherent in all of our derivative contracts is minimal based on our credit standards and the netting and collateral provisions of the interest rate swap agreements.

Table of Contents

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

We act as an interest rate or foreign exchange swap counterparty for certain commercial borrowers in the normal course of servicing our customers, which are accounted for at fair value. We manage our exposure to such interest rate or foreign exchange swaps by entering into corresponding and offsetting interest rate swaps with third parties that mirror the terms of the swaps we have with the commercial borrowers. These positions (referred to as “customer swaps”) directly offset each other, and our exposure is the fair value of the derivatives due to changes in credit risk of our commercial borrowers and third parties. Customer swaps are recorded within other assets or other liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial condition at their estimated fair value. Changes to the fair value of assets and liabilities arising from these derivatives are included, net, in other operating income in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

We enter into interest rate lock commitments for residential mortgage loans which commit us to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specific interest rate within a specified period of time. Interest rate lock commitments that relate to the origination of mortgage loans that will be held-for-sale are considered derivative financial instruments under applicable accounting guidance. Interest rate lock commitments on loans held-for-sale are carried at fair value in other assets on the consolidated statement of financial condition. Northwest sells loans to the secondary market on a mandatory or best efforts basis. The loans sold on a mandatory basis commit us to deliver a specific principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price, by a specified date, or the commitment must be paired off. These forward commitments entered into on a mandatory delivery basis meet the definition of a derivative financial instrument. All closed loans to be sold on a mandatory delivery basis are classified as held-for-sale on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. Changes to the fair value of the interest rate lock commitments and the forward commitments are recorded in mortgage banking income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

We enter into risk participation agreements with financial institution counterparties for interest rate swaps related to loans in which we are a participant. The risk participation agreements provide credit protection to the financial institution should the borrower fail to perform on its interest rate derivative contract with the financial institution.

(11) Legal Proceedings

We establish accruals for legal proceedings when information related to the loss contingencies represented by those matters indicates both that a loss is probable and that the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2022, we do not anticipate that the aggregate ultimate liability arising out of any pending or threatened legal proceedings will be material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Any such accruals are adjusted thereafter as appropriate to reflect changes in circumstances. Due to the inherent subjectivity of assessments and unpredictability of outcomes of legal proceedings, any amounts accrued may not represent the ultimate loss to us from legal proceedings.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, Northwest and our subsidiary, The Bert Company (doing business as Northwest Insurance Services) (“NWIS”), were involved in a lawsuit against, among others, First National Bank of Pennsylvania (“FNB”) and their insurance subsidiary, First National Insurance Agency, LLC (“FNIA”). All counterclaims against Northwest were discontinued and, in December 2018, a verdict was rendered in favor of NWIS on several of its claims. Post-trial proceedings have continued throughout the current year and, due to the inherent uncertainties with respect to these proceedings, we have not accrued any awards associated with this verdict within our Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2022.

•changes in asset quality, including increases in default rates on loans and higher levels of nonperforming loans and loan charge-offs generally, and specifically resulting from the economic dislocation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic;

•changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements;

•changes in federal, state, or local tax laws and tax rates;

• general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are different than expected;

• adverse changes in the securities and credit markets;

• cyber-security concerns, including an interruption or breach in the security of our website or other information systems;

• technological changes that may be more difficult or expensive than expected;

• the ability of third-party providers to perform their obligations to us;

Overview of Critical Accounting Policies Involving Estimates

Please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The following accounting standard updates issued by the FASB have not yet been adopted.

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This ASU provides temporary optional guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance provides expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments primarily include contract modifications and hedge accounting, as well as providing a one-time election for the sale or transfer of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity. This guidance is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform.” This ASU provides amendments, which are elective, and apply to all entities that have derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting or contract price alignment of certain derivative instruments that are modified as a result of the reference rate reform. We established a cross-functional working group to manage the LIBOR transition. A transition plan was created to identify and modify the Company’s loan and other financial instrument contracts that are impacted by LIBOR transition. The Company chose the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its alternative replacement for LIBOR on both back-to-back swaps and variable rate loans. We have not offered LIBOR for any new contracts since December 31, 2021. We are continuing to evaluate the amendments on our financial statements, with no material impacts expected, and execute on our transition plan.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosure.” This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan modifications when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. This ASU also requires the disclosure of current period gross write-offs by year for origination for financing receivables. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. This ASU is applied prospectively to modifications and write-offs beginning on the first day of the fiscal year of adoption. An entity may elect to adopt a modified retrospective transition method on the recognition and measurement of the TDR guidance. We are currently in the process of evaluating the ASU and determining the impact on our financial statements.

Comparison of Financial Condition

Total assets at September 30, 2022 were $13.953 billion, a decrease of $548.4 million, or 3.8%, from $14.502 billion at December 31, 2021. This decrease in assets was due to decreases in total cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, partially offset by an increase in loans receivable, as described in further detail below.

Total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.161 billion, or 90.7%, to $118.5 million at September 30, 2022 from $1.279 billion at December 31, 2021. This decrease was driven by organic loan growth and deposit outflow, described in further detail below, as well as the purchase of three small business equipment finance loan pools totaling $182.8 million and two one-to four-family jumbo mortgage loan packages totaling $188.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Total marketable securities decreased by $165.5 million, or 7.1%, to $2.151 billion at September 30, 2022 from $2.317 billion at December 31, 2021. This decrease was driven primarily by the rising interest rate environment which negatively impacted the fair market value of our available-for-sale portfolio. Additionally, the maturity and monthly cash flow of marketable securities was redeployed into higher interest-earning loan products.

Total loans receivable increased by $725.1 million, or 7.2%, to $10.742 billion at September 30, 2022, from $10.016 billion at December 31, 2021. This increase was due to organic loan growth as well as the purchases of small business equipment finance and one-to- four-family jumbo mortgage loan pools during the year. Our personal loan portfolio increased by $649.8 million, or 10.6%, to $6.803 billion at September 30, 2022, from $6.153 billion at December 31, 2021. Continued growth in our consumer indirect auto loans and fewer sales of residential mortgages into the secondary market contributed to the increase in total loans receivable.

Total deposits decreased by $422.8 million, or 3.4%, to $11.878 billion at September 30, 2022 from $12.301 billion at December 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in time and demand deposit accounts of $393.6 million, or 5.3%. We believe these decreases were primarily the result of customer spending activity returning to pre-pandemic levels at a time when inflationary pressures have caused higher prices and government stimulus programs have ended.

Table of Contents

Total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2022 was $1.460 billion, or $11.50 per share, a decrease of $123.8 million, or 7.8%, from $1.584 billion, or $12.51 per share, at December 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily the result of an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $153.5 million due to an increase in unrealized losses in the available-for-sale investment portfolio as a result of rising interest rates. These decreases were partially offset by year-to-date earnings of $99.0 million, net of $76.1 million of cash dividend payments.

Regulatory Capital

Financial institutions and their holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct, material effect on a company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, financial institutions must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting guidelines. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments made by the regulators about components, risk-weighting and other factors.

Applicable rules limit an organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of Total, Tier 1 and Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements.

Quantitative measures, established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy, require financial institutions to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Total, CET1 and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). Capital requirements are presented in the tables below (in thousands).

Liquidity

We are required to maintain a sufficient level of liquid assets, as determined by management and reviewed for adequacy by the FDIC and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities during their regular examinations. Northwest monitors its liquidity position primarily using the ratio of unencumbered available-for-sale liquid assets as a percentage of deposits and borrowings (“liquidity ratio”). Northwest Bank’s liquidity ratio at September 30, 2022 was 9.74%. We adjust liquidity levels in order to meet funding needs for deposit outflows, payment of real estate taxes and insurance on mortgage loan escrow accounts, repayment of borrowings and loan commitments. At September 30, 2022, Northwest had $3.502 billion of additional borrowing capacity available with the FHLB, including $250.0 million on an overnight line of credit which had a balance of $11.9 million at September 30, 2022, as well as $98.9 million of borrowing capacity available with the Federal Reserve Bank and $105.0 million with two correspondent banks.

Dividends

We paid $25.4 million in cash dividends during the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The common stock dividend payout ratio (dividends declared per share divided by net income per diluted share) was 69.0% and 74.1% for the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, on dividends of $0.20 per share. On October 24, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per share payable on November 14, 2022 to shareholders of record as of November 3, 2022. This represents the 112th consecutive quarter we have paid a cash dividend.

Table of Contents

Nonperforming Assets

The following table sets forth information with respect to nonperforming assets. Nonaccrual loans are those loans on which the accrual of interest has ceased. Generally, when a loan is 90 days past due, we fully reverse all accrued interest thereon and cease to accrue interest thereafter. Exceptions are made for loans that have contractually matured, are in the process of being modified to extend the maturity date and are otherwise current as to principal and interest, and well-secured loans that are in the process of collection. Loans may also be placed on nonaccrual before they reach 90 days past due if conditions exist that call into question our ability to collect all contractual interest. Other nonperforming assets represent property acquired through foreclosure or repossession. Foreclosed property is carried at the lower of its fair value less estimated costs to sell or the principal balance of the related loan.

Allowance for Credit Losses

We adopted CECL on January 1, 2020, as further described in Note 1(f) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our Board of Directors has adopted an “Allowance for Credit Losses” policy designed to provide management with a systematic methodology for determining and documenting the allowance for credit losses each reporting period. This methodology was developed to provide a consistent process to ensure that the allowance for credit losses is in conformity with GAAP, our policies and procedures and other supervisory and regulatory guidelines.

On an ongoing basis, the Credit Administration department, as well as loan officers, branch managers and department heads, review and monitor the loan portfolio for problem loans. This portfolio monitoring includes a review of the monthly delinquency reports as well as historical comparisons and trend analysis. Personal and small business commercial loans are classified primarily by delinquency status. In addition, a meeting is held every quarter with each region to monitor the performance and status of commercial loans on an internal watch list. On an on-going basis, the loan officer, in conjunction with a portfolio manager, grades or classifies problem commercial loans or potential problem commercial loans based upon their knowledge of the lending relationship and other information previously accumulated. This rating is also reviewed independently by our Loan Review department on a periodic basis. Our loan grading system for problem commercial loans is consistent with industry regulatory guidelines which classifies loans as “substandard”, “doubtful” or “loss.” Loans that do not expose us to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the previous categories, but which possess some weaknesses, are designated as “special mention”. A “substandard” loan is any loan that is 90 days or more contractually delinquent or is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as “doubtful” have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as “substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts,

conditions or values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans classified as “loss” have all the weakness inherent in those classified as “doubtful” and are considered uncollectible.

Credit relationships that have been classified as substandard or doubtful and are greater than or equal to $1.0 million are reviewed by the Credit Administration department to determine if they no longer continue to demonstrate similar risk characteristics to their loan pool. If a loan no longer demonstrates similar risk characteristics to their loan pool they are removed from the pool and an individual assessment will be performed.

If it is determined that a loan needs to be individually assessed, the Credit Administration department determines the proper measure of fair value for each loan based on one of three methods: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (2) the loan’s observable market price; or (3) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, less costs of sale or disposal. If the measurement of the fair value of the loan is more or less than the amortized cost basis of the loan, the Credit Administration department adjusts the specific allowance associated with that individual loan accordingly.

If a substandard or doubtful loan is not individually assessed, it is grouped with other loans that possess common characteristics for credit losses and analysis. For the purpose of calculating reserves, we have grouped our loans into seven segments: residential mortgage loans, home equity loans, vehicle loans, consumer loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial real estate loans - owner occupied and commercial loans. The allowance for credit losses is measured using a combination of statistical models and qualitative assessments. We use a twenty four month forecasting period and revert to historical average loss rates thereafter. Reversion to average loss rates takes place over twelve months. Historical average loss rates are calculated using historical data beginning in October 2009 through the current period.

The credit losses for individually assessed loans along with the estimated loss for each homogeneous pool are consolidated into one summary document. This summary schedule along with the support documentation used to establish this schedule is presented to management’s Allowance for Credit Loss Committee (“ACL Committee”) monthly. The ACL Committee reviews and approves the processes and ACL documentation presented. Based on this review and discussion, the appropriate amount of ACL is estimated and any adjustments to reconcile the actual ACL with this estimate are determined. The ACL Committee also considers if any changes to the methodology are needed. In addition to the ACL Committee’s review and approval, a review is performed by the Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis and annually by internal audit.

In addition to the reviews by management’s ACL Committee and the Board of Directors’ Risk Management Committee, regulators from either the FDIC and/or the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities perform an extensive review on at least an annual basis for the adequacy of the ACL and its conformity with regulatory guidelines and pronouncements. Any recommendations or enhancements from these independent parties are considered by management and the ACL Committee and implemented accordingly.

We acknowledge that this is a dynamic process and consists of factors, many of which are external and out of our control, that can change frequently, rapidly and substantially. The adequacy of the ACL is based upon estimates using all the information previously discussed as well as current and known circumstances and events. There is no assurance that actual portfolio losses will not be substantially different than those that were estimated.

We utilize a structured methodology each period when analyzing the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses and the related provision for credit losses, which the ACL Committee assesses regularly for appropriateness. As part of the analysis as of September 30, 2022, we considered the most recent economic conditions and forecasts available which incorporated the impact of material recent economic events. In addition, we considered the overall trends in asset quality, reserves on individually assessed loans, historical loss rates and collateral valuations. The ACL increased by $7.6 million, or 7.4%, to $109.8 million, or 1.02% of total loans at September 30, 2022 from $102.2 million, or 1.02% of total loans, at December 31, 2021. Total classified loans decreased $125.4 million, or 34.5%, to $237.7 million at September 30, 2022 from $363.2 million at December 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to the upgrade and payoff of loans in our commercial real estate portfolio during the current year.

We also consider how the levels of nonaccrual loans and historical charge-offs have influenced the required amount of allowance for credit losses. Nonaccrual loans of $83.6 million, or 0.78% of total loans receivable at September 30, 2022, decreased by $74.8 million, or 47.2%, from $158.5 million, or 1.59% of total loans receivable at December 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily related to upgrades to loans within our commercial real estate portfolio. We experienced an annualized net recovery during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 of 0.14%, as a percentage of average loans, compared to a total net charge-off 0.20% as a percentage of average loans for the year ended December 31, 2021. The net recovery was primarily from the recovery of a previously charged-off commercial real estate loan.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarters Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $37.3 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, an increase of $2.2 million, or 6.4%, from net income of $35.1 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The increase in net income primarily resulted from a $14.3 million, or 14.6%, increase in net interest income, as well as a decrease in noninterest expense of $3.5 million, or 4.1%. These increases were partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses of $12.0 million, or 276.6%, a decrease in noninterest income of $2.4 million, or 8.2%, and a $1.2 million, or 11.0%, increase in income tax expense. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 represents annualized returns on average equity and average assets of 9.84% and 1.05%, respectively, compared to 8.86% and 0.97% for the same quarter last year. A further discussion of notable changes follows.

Interest Income

Total interest income increased $13.6 million, or 13.0%, to $118.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from $105.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. This increase was due to an increase in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets to 3.58% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from 3.13% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 due to the rising interest rate environment, as well as the change in our interest-earning asset mix. This was partially offset by a decline in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $177.9 million, or 1.3%, to $13.156 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from $13.334 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, driven by a decrease in other interest-earning deposits.

Interest income on loans receivable increased by $9.5 million, or 9.7%, to $106.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $97.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. This increase in interest income was due to increases in both the average yield and average balance on loans receivable. The average yield increased to 4.05% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, from 3.79% from the quarter ended September 30, 2021, due to the increase in market interest rates. The average balance of loans receivable increased by $254.6 million, or 2.5%, to $10.481 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from $10.226 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 due to organic loan growth as well as the purchases of three small business equipment finance loan pools totaling $182.8 million and two one-to four-family jumbo mortgage loan packages totaling $188.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities increased by $2.8 million, or 48.7%, to $8.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $5.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. This increase was driven by an increase in the average yield on mortgage-backed securities to 1.72% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from 1.27% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 due to the purchase of mortgage-backed securities with yields higher than the existing portfolio. Additionally, the average balance of mortgage-backed securities increased $186.8 million, or 10.2%, to $2.020 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from $1.833 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. This increase in average balance was primarily a result of additional purchases as we deployed interest-earning deposits into higher yielding investments.

Interest income on investment securities increased by $270,000, or 21.1%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 to $1.5 million from $1.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. This increase was due to an increase in the average balance of investment securities by $40.1 million, or 11.5%, to $388.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from $348.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The average yield on investment securities increased to 1.59% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from 1.47% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Dividends on FHLB stock increased by $77,000, or 108.5%, to $148,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from $71,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. This increase was due to the average yield increasing to 4.19% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from 1.31% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 due to increases in market interest rates. This was partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of FHLB stock of $7.6 million, or 35.1%, to $14.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from $21.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Required FHLB stock holdings fluctuate with, among other things, the utilization of our borrowing capacity as well as capital requirements established by the FHLB.

Interest income on interest-earning deposits increased by $943,000 to $1.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from $352,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. This increase was driven by an increase in the average yield on interest-earning deposits to 2.00% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from 0.15% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, due to the Federal Reserve Board raising targeted short-term interest rates. The average balance of interest-earning deposits decreased by $651.9 million, or 72.0%, to $253.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from $905.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 as the Bank has deployed these funds into higher yielding loans and investments.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $729,000, or 11.1%, to $5.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from $6.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. This decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the decrease in the average

balance of interest-bearing deposits of $287.8 million, or 3.0%, to $9.246 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from $9.534 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Additionally, there was a decline in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which decreased to 0.25% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from 0.27% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. This decrease resulted from the overall change in the mix of deposit accounts as customers move from fixed-rate time deposits to more liquid deposit accounts. In addition, despite a rising interest rate environment, we have been able to keep our cost of deposits stable.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased by $14.3 million, or 14.6%, to $112.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from $98.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. This increase is attributable to the factors discussed above. Additionally, our interest rate spread increased to 3.33% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from 2.86% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, and our net interest margin increased to 3.40% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from 2.95% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to rising interest-earning asset yields in response to recent increases in market interest rates.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses increased by $12.0 million, or 276.6%, to a current period provision expense of $7.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from a negative provision of $4.4 million the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The current period provision was driven by loan portfolio growth during the current year as well as a deterioration in the economic forecasts utilized in our allowance for credit loss models. The credit to the provision in the prior year was driven by improvements in the economic forecasts compared to the uncertainty that existed in 2020 to the industries impacted by COVID-19.

In determining the amount of the current period provision, we considered current and forecasted economic conditions, including but not limited to unemployment levels, expected economic growth, bankruptcy filings, and changes in real estate values and the impact of these factors on the quality of our loan portfolio and historical loss experience. We analyze the allowance for credit losses as described in the section entitled “Allowance for Credit Losses.” The provision that is recorded is sufficient, in our judgment, to bring this reserve to a level that reflects the current expected lifetime losses in our loan portfolio relative to loan mix, a reasonable and supportable economic forecast period, and historical loss experience at September 30, 2022.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased by $2.4 million, or 8.2%, to $26.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from $29.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in our mortgage banking income of $3.2 million, or 80.6%, to $766,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from $3.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. This decrease reflects the impact of less favorable pricing in the secondary market, due primarily to the volatile interest rate environment, as well as decreased mortgage volumes. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in service charges and fees of $1.1 million, or 8.5%, to $14.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $13.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as customer activity increased in 2022 after COVID-19 restricted behavior in the prior year.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense decreased by $3.5 million, or 4.1%, to $82.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from $86.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Almost all expense categories decreased as the Company continues to focus on controlling costs and improving efficiency. Compensation and employee benefits decreased $2.4 million, or 4.8%, to $46.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from $49.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, driven primarily by the branch consolidations completed in April 2022. Professional services decreased $932,000, or 21.7%, to $3.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from $4.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 due to the use of third-party consulting services during the prior year. Offsetting these decreases was an increase in other expenses of $1.7 million, or 75.4%, to $3.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from $2.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 due to an increase in our unfunded loan loss reserve associated with the origination of loans with current off balance sheet exposure.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes increased by $1.2 million, or 11.0%, to $12.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from $10.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. This increase in income taxes was due to an increase in income before taxes in the current year. We anticipate our effective tax rate to be between 22.0% and 24.0% for the year ending December 31, 2022.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $99.0 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, a decrease of $25.3 million, or 20.3%, from $124.3 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in net income resulted primarily from a decrease in noninterest income of $32.9 million, or 28.4%, as well as an increase in the provision for credit losses of $18.8 million, or 188.6%. These unfavorable fluctuations were partially offset by a $9.3 million, or 3.6%, decrease in noninterest expense, a $9.0 million, or 3.1%, increase in net interest income, and a decrease in income tax expense of $8.1 million, or 21.5%. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 represents annualized returns on average equity and average assets of 8.61% and 0.93%, respectively, compared to 10.67% and 1.17% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. A further discussion of notable changes follows.

Interest Income

Total interest income increased by $5.4 million, or 1.7%, to $320.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $315.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase is the result of increases in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets as well as the average balance of interest-earning assets, and specifically the change in our interest-earning asset mix. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets increased to 3.23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from 3.20% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to the recent rising interest rate environment. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased by $143.0 million, or 1.1%, to $13.301 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $13.158 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily driven by growth in the mortgage-backed securities portfolio which offset the decreases in the average balance of loans receivable.

Interest income on loans receivable decreased by $4.4 million, or 1.5%, to $290.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $295.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease is attributed to a decrease in the average balance of loans receivable by $127.7 million, or 1.2%, to $10.182 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $10.309 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due primarily to PPP loan forgiveness and the payoff of several classified commercial real estate loan relationships. The average yield remained consistent at 3.82% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities increased by $6.5 million, or 41.2%, to $22.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $15.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase is attributed to increases in both the average balance and the average yield of mortgage-backed securities. The average balance increased $332.9 million, or 20.3%, to $1.973 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $1.640 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily a result of additional purchases as we deployed interest-earning deposits into higher yielding investments. Additionally, the average yield on mortgage-backed securities increased to 1.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from 1.28% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to the purchase of fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities with yields higher than the existing portfolio.

Interest income on investment securities increased by $523,000, or 13.9%, to $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of investment securities by $31.7 million, or 9.1%, to $379.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $348.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Additionally, the average yield on investment securities increased to 1.51% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from 1.44% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Dividends on FHLB stock decreased by $14,000, or 4.3%, to $311,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $325,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was due to an $8.4 million, or 37.9%, decrease in the average balance of FHLB stock to $13.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $22.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Required FHLB stock holdings fluctuate with, among other things, the utilization of our borrowing capacity as well as capital requirements established by the FHLB. Partially offsetting the decrease in the balance was an increase in the average yield on FHLB stock to 3.02% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from 1.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as the FHLB of Pittsburgh increased dividend rates on required stock holdings in relation to higher market interest rates.

Interest income on interest-earning deposits increased by $2.7 million to $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $727,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase is attributable to an increase in the average yield on interest-earning deposits to 0.60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from 0.11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as a result of increases in the targeted federal funds rate by the Federal Reserve. This was partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning deposits by $85.5 million, or 10.2%, to $753.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $839.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as we deployed funds into higher yielding investments.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $3.7 million, or 17.5%, to $17.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $21.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease in interest expense was driven by decreases in both the average cost and the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from 0.30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease resulted from decreases in the interest rate paid on deposits as well as the change in deposit mix as customers chose to move funds from fixed-rate time deposits to more liquid deposit accounts. Despite a rising interest rate environment, we have been able to keep our cost of deposits stable. Additionally, the yield on time deposits has continued to decrease, from 0.87% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to 0.60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as time deposits with higher rates matured and rolled into lower rate deposit products. This decrease in time deposits has contributed largely to a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $50.1 million, or 0.5%, to $9.425 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $9.475 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased by $9.0 million, or 3.1%, to $303.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $294.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase is attributable to the factors discussed above. Our interest rate spread and net interest margin both increased over the course of the year. Our interest rate spread increased to 2.98% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from 2.91% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and our net interest margin increased to 3.05% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from 2.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. These increases were driven largely by increasing interest rates and a change in balance sheet mix.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses increased by $18.8 million, or 188.6%, to a current period provision expense of $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from a negative provision of $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The current period provision was driven primarily by growth within our loan portfolio as well as a deterioration in the most recent economic forecasts. The negative provision in the prior year was driven by the improvements in the economic forecasts compared to the uncertainty that existed in 2020 for industries impacted by COVID-19

Annualized net charge-offs to average loans decreased to 0.02% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from 0.19% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Additionally, classified assets declined by $146.6 million, or 38.1%, to $237.7 million, or 2.21% of loans outstanding at September 30, 2022 from $384.4 million, or 3.77% of loans outstanding at September 30, 2021.

In determining the amount of the current period provision, we considered current economic conditions, including but not limited to unemployment levels, bankruptcy filings, and changes in real estate values and the impact of these factors on the quality of our loan portfolio and historical loss experience. We analyze the allowance for credit losses as described in the section entitled “Allowance for Credit Losses.” The provision that is recorded is sufficient, in our judgment, to bring this reserve to a level that reflects the current expected lifetime losses in our loan portfolio relative to loan mix, a reasonable and supportable economic forecast period and historical loss experience at September 30, 2022.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased by $32.9 million, or 28.4%, to $83.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $115.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily driven by the sale of our insurance business on April 30, 2021, resulting in a $25.3 million pre-tax gain during the prior nine month period. This insurance business sale in the prior year also resulted in a decrease in insurance commission income of $3.6 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2021. In addition, mortgage banking income decreased by $9.4 million, or 68.1%, due to the impact of less favorable secondary market pricing, as well as decreased mortgage volumes. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $2.7 million, or 7.1%, increase in service charges and fees to $41.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $38.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to increased customer activity in 2022 after COVID-19 restricted behavior in the prior year. In addition, other operating income increased $1.6 million, or 18.6%, to $10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to an increase in swap fee income as well as a gain of approximately $1.0 million from the sale of branch buildings associated with the previously announced consolidation of 20 branch office facilities.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense decreased by $9.3 million, or 3.6%, to $249.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from $258.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Spread across almost all expense categories, this decrease was driven by a $3.8 million, or 29.3%, decrease in professional service expense to $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to the utilization of third-party experts to recruit talent, provide consulting services, and to assist with our digital strategy rollout during the prior year. Compensation and employee benefits expense decreased $3.5 million, or 2.4%, to $141.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $145.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 despite recognizing approximately $1.4 million of additional expense related to the acceleration of compensation and stock benefits upon the passing of our former Chief Executive Officer. This decrease in compensation and benefits as well as the $1.7 million, or 7.2%, decrease in premises and occupancy costs are due primarily to branch consolidations completed over the past two years. Processing expenses decreased $3.2 million, or 7.6%, to $38.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $42.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to the prior year investment in technology and infrastructure. Partially offsetting these decreases, was a $4.5 million, or 64.3%, increase in other expenses due to an increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments resulting from the origination of loans with current off balance sheet exposure.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes decreased by $8.1 million, or 21.5%, to $29.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $37.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in income before tax of $33.3 million, or 20.6%. We anticipate our effective tax rate to be between 22.0% and 24.0% for the year ending December 31, 2022.

(c)Average balances do not include the effect of unrealized gains or losses on securities held as available-for-sale.

(d)Interest income on tax-free investment securities and tax-free loans are presented on a fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis.

(e)Average balances include the effect of unrealized gains or losses on securities held as available-for-sale.

(f)Average balances include FHLB borrowings and collateralized borrowings.

(g)Average cost of total deposits was 0.11% and 0.16%, respectively.

(h)Annualized. Shown on a FTE basis. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax benefit of income on certain tax exempt loans and investments using the federal statutory rate applicable to each period presented. We believe this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts. GAAP basis yields were: loans — 3.82% and 3.82%, respectively; investment securities — 1.51% and 1.44%, respectively; interest-earning assets — 3.23% and 3.20%, respectively. GAAP basis net interest rate spreads were 2.98% and 2.91%, respectively; and GAAP basis net interest margins were 3.05% and 2.99%, respectively.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As the holding company for a savings bank, one of our primary market risks is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the sensitivity of net interest income to variations in interest rates over a specified time period. The sensitivity results from differences in the time periods in which interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities mature or re-price. We attempt to control interest rate risk by matching, within acceptable limits, the re-pricing periods of assets and liabilities. We have attempted to limit our exposure to interest sensitivity by increasing core deposits, enticing customers to extend certificates of deposit maturities, borrowing funds with fixed-rates and longer maturities and by shortening the maturities of our assets by emphasizing the origination of more short-term fixed rate loans and adjustable rate loans. We also have the ability to sell a portion of the long-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans that we originate. In addition, we purchase shorter term or adjustable-rate investment securities and mortgage-backed securities.

We have an Asset/Liability Committee consisting of members of management which meets monthly to review market interest rates, economic conditions, the pricing of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the balance sheet structure. On a quarterly basis, this Committee also reviews the interest rate risk position and cash flow projections.

The Board of Directors has a Risk Management Committee which meets quarterly and reviews interest rate risk and trends, our interest sensitivity position, the liquidity position and the market risk inherent in the investment portfolio.

In an effort to assess interest rate risk and market risk, we utilize a simulation model to determine the effect of immediate incremental increases and decreases in interest rates on net income and the market value of equity. Certain assumptions are made regarding loan prepayments and decay rates of savings and interest-bearing demand accounts. Because it is difficult to accurately project the market reaction of depositors and borrowers, the effect of actual changes in interest rates on these assumptions may differ from simulated results. We have established the following guidelines for assessing interest rate risk:

Net interest income simulation. Given a parallel shift of 100 basis points (“bps”), 200 bps and 300 bps in interest rates, the estimated net income may not decrease by more than 5%, 10% and 15%, respectively, within a one-year period.

Net income simulation. Given a parallel shift of 100 bps, 200 bps and 300 bps in interest rates, the estimated net income may not decrease by more than 10%, 20% and 30%, respectively, within a one-year period.

Market value of equity simulation. The market value of equity is the present value of assets and liabilities. Given a parallel shift of 100 bps, 200 bps and 300 bps in interest rates, the market value of equity may not decrease by more than 15%, 30% and 35%, respectively, from the computed economic value at current interest rate levels.

The following table illustrates the simulated impact of a 100 bps, 200 bps or 300 bps upward or a 100 bps, 200 bps or 300 bps downward movement in interest rates on net income, return on average equity, earnings per share and market value of equity. This analysis was prepared assuming that interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability levels at September 30, 2022 remain constant. The impact of the rate movements was computed by simulating the effect of an immediate and sustained shift in interest rates over a twelve-month period from September 30, 2022 levels.


	Increase									Decrease
Parallel shift in interest rates over the next 12 months	100 bps			200 bps			300 bps			100 bps			200 bps			300 bps
Projected percentage increase/(decrease) in net interest income	(0.4		%)	(0.9		%)	(1.6		%)	(6.4		%)	(13.4		%)	(21.0		%)
Projected percentage increase/(decrease) in net income	(0.7		%)	(1.7		%)	(2.9		%)	(13.9		%)	(29.2		%)	(45.8		%)
Projected increase/(decrease) in return on average equity	(0.6		%)	(1.6		%)	(2.8		%)	(13.2		%)	(28.0		%)	(44.4		%)
Projected increase/(decrease) in earnings per share	$	(0.01)		$	(0.03)		$	(0.04)		$	(0.19)		$	(0.39)		$	(0.61)
Projected percentage increase/(decrease) in market value of equity	(7.6		%)	(15.2		%)	(24.7		%)	1.7		%	5.2		%	8.0		%

The figures included in the table above represent projections that were computed based upon certain assumptions including prepayment rates and decay rates. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates. Actual results may differ significantly due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions, and actions that may be taken by management in response to interest rate changes.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There were no changes in the internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this report or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject to a number of asserted and unasserted claims encountered in the normal course of business. We believe that any additional liability, other than that which has already been accrued, that may result from such potential litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the financial statements. However, we cannot presently determine whether or not any claims against us will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in any future reporting period. Refer to Note 11.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except as previously disclosed, there have been no material updates or additions to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
