$FNWDPress releaseOct 27, 2026, 4:10 PM ETRead the release

Finward Bancorp reported Q3 2026 net income of $1.4 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, down from $2.1 million, or $0.48, in Q2 2026. The decline was driven by merger-related expenses tied to the pending First Financial deal, including $1.8 million in one-time compensation adjustments and $536 thousand in third-party professional costs. Core metrics improved: NIM expanded to 3.39% from 3.25%, and deposits grew 1.5% to $1.76 billion.
