For the quarter, the Company reported net income of $50.2 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, which compares to net income of $52.1 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2024 and net income of $58.4 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024.
HIGHLIGHTS

Adjusted net FTE interest margin1 increased to 3.14% for the first quarter of 2025, or a 6-basis point increase from the fourth quarter of 2024 and a 30-basis point increase from the first quarter of 2024.
Non-performing assets increased $52.8 million, or 36.3%, to $198.4 million as of March 31, 2025, from $145.6 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of an increase in non-accrual commercial real estate, agricultural real estate, and agricultural loans, and increased $9.0 million, or 4.8%, from $189.4 million as of March 31, 2024.
Criticized loans increased $252.8 million to $1,026.1 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to $773.3 million as of December 31, 2024, driven primarily by downgrades in the commercial real estate loan portfolio, and increased $396.1 million, compared to $630.0 million as of March 31, 2024.
Net charge-offs decreased $46.2 million, or 83.7%, to $9.0 million, or an annualized 0.21% of average loans outstanding, as of March 31, 2025, from $55.2 million, or an annualized 1.22% of average loans outstanding, which included a commercial and industrial loan for $49.3 million, as of December 31, 2024, and increased $0.6 million, or 7.1%, from $8.4 million, or an annualized 0.18% of average loans outstanding, as of March 31, 2024.
Other borrowed funds decreased $607.5 million, or 38.8%, to $960.0 million as of March 31, 2025, from $1,567.5 million as of December 31, 2024 and decreased $1,382.0 million from March 31, 2024.
Total deposits decreased $282.8 million at March 31, 2025 from December 31, 2024, with noninterest bearing deposits decreasing by $207.4 million and interest bearing deposits decreasing $119.5 million, partially offset by an increase in interest bearing savings deposits of $44.1 million. Total deposits decreased $77.2 million, or 0.3% from March 31, 2024.
Capital ratios continued to improve during the first quarter of 2025, with our common equity tier 1 capital ratio increasing 37 basis points to 12.53%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily as a result of lower risk-weighted assets.
“We are pleased to see continued improvement in our net interest margin. As expected, net interest margin expanded for the fourth consecutive quarter, and we continue to prudently manage expenses while investing in the future growth of the Company. We are pleased with the continued reduction in our outstanding borrowings, and our balance sheet remains flexible as we move forward. Criticized and non-performing assets increased quarter over quarter, as we continue to take a prudent, proactive approach to credit risk management,” said James A. Reuter, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. “I continue to be impressed by a strong client-centric, community bank.”

DIVIDEND DECLARATION
On April 28, 2025, the Company’s board of directors declared a dividend of $0.47 per common share, payable on May 22, 2025, to common stockholders of record as of May 12, 2025. The dividend equates to a 6.1% annualized yield based on the $30.99 per share average closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on NASDAQ during the first quarter of 2025.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income decreased $9.3 million, or 4.3%, to $205.0 million, during the first quarter of 2025, compared to net interest income of $214.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower interest income on loans, investment securities, and interest bearing deposits in banks resulting from a decrease in average rates, average balances, and fewer accrual days, partially offset by lower interest expense on deposits and other borrowed funds resulting from a decrease in average rates, average balances, and fewer accrual days. Net interest income increased $4.9 million, or 2.4%, during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to a decrease in interest expense resulting from decreased rates on other borrowed funds along with a decrease in average other borrowed funds balances, partially offset by lower interest income on investment securities as a result of a decrease in average rates and average investment security balances and as a result of a decrease in average loan balances.
Interest accretion attributable to the fair value of acquired loans contributed to net interest income during the first quarter of 2025, the fourth quarter of 2024, and the first quarter of 2024, in the amounts of $4.7 million, $8.6 million, and $6.5 million, respectively.
The net interest margin ratio was 3.19% for the first quarter of 2025, compared to 3.18% during the fourth quarter of 2024, and 2.91% during the first quarter of 2024. The net FTE interest margin ratio2 was 3.22% for the first quarter of 2025, compared to 3.20% during the fourth quarter of 2024, and 2.93% during the first quarter of 2024. Excluding interest accretion from the fair value of acquired loans, on a quarter-over-quarter basis, the adjusted net FTE interest margin ratio2, was 3.14%, an increase of 6 basis points from the prior quarter, primarily driven by lower interest expense resulting from decreased borrowings. Excluding interest accretion from the fair value of acquired loans, on a year-over-year basis, the adjusted net FTE interest margin ratio increased 30 basis points, primarily as a result of lower interest expense resulting from decreased rates on borrowings, decreased other borrowed funds balances, and a favorable change in the mix of earning assets.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $20.0 million. This compares to a provision for credit losses of $33.7 million and $5.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2024 and during the first quarter of 2024, respectively.
For the first quarter of 2025, net charge-offs were $9.0 million, or an annualized 0.21% of average loans outstanding, compared to net charge-offs of $55.2 million, or an annualized 1.22% of average loans outstanding, for the fourth quarter of 2024 and net charge-offs of $8.4 million, or an annualized 0.18% of average loans outstanding, for the first quarter of 2024. Net loan charge-offs in the first quarter of 2025 were composed of charge-offs of $10.8 million, which was offset by recoveries of $1.8 million. Net loan charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2024 were composed of charge-offs of $58.3 million, primarily consisting of a $49.3 million commercial and industrial loan for which a specific reserve of $26.5 million was held, which was offset by recoveries of $3.1 million.
The Company’s allowance for credit losses as a percentage of period-end loans held for investment was 1.24% at March 31, 2025, compared to 1.14% at December 31, 2024 and 1.25% at March 31, 2024. Coverage of non-performing loans decreased to 110.5% at March 31, 2025, compared to 144.4% at December 31, 2024 and decreased from 130.1% at March 31, 2024.

The Company’s non-interest expense was $160.6 million for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $0.3 million from the fourth quarter of 2024 and an increase of $0.4 million from the first quarter of 2024.
Salary and wages expense increased $0.1 million and increased $3.4 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2024, respectively. The increase when compared to the first quarter of 2024 was primarily due to higher severance, short-term incentive accruals, and less deferred loan costs, which were partially offset by lower salaries and wages.
Employee benefit expenses decreased $0.5 million, or 2.4%, to $20.0 million during the first quarter of 2025, compared to the $20.5 million incurred during the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower medical insurance costs of $6.5 million which was partially offset by the seasonal reset of payroll taxes of $3.8 million and higher long-term incentives. Employee benefit expenses increased $0.7 million, or 3.6%, from $19.3 million during the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to an increase in payroll taxes and long-term incentives which were partially offset by lower health insurance costs.
Other expenses decreased $0.6 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 and decreased $3.3 million during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. The decrease from the first quarter of 2024 is primarily due to a decrease of $3.1 million of FDIC insurance premiums, for which the first quarter of 2024 included a $1.5 million special assessment accrual.
BALANCE SHEET
Total assets decreased $857.6 million, or 2.9%, to $28,279.8 million as of March 31, 2025, from $29,137.4 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to decreases in investment securities and loans due to cash used to pay down debt and decreases in deposits. Total assets decreased $1,865.0 million, or 6.2%, from $30,144.8 million as of March 31, 2024, primarily due to decreases in investment securities and loans, the funds from which increased cash and cash equivalents and were used to pay down debt and other borrowed funds, and securities sold under repurchase agreements.

Investment securities decreased $240.8 million, or 3.1%, to $7,503.8 million as of March 31, 2025, from $7,744.6 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily resulting from called securities and normal pay-downs and maturities, partially offset by a $70.7 million increase in fair market values and $52.6 million in purchases of investment securities during the period. Investment securities decreased $1,122.3 million, or 13.0%, from $8,626.1 million as of March 31, 2024, primarily resulting from called securities and normal pay-downs and maturities, partially offset by a $145.7 million increase in fair market values and $52.6 million in purchases of investment securities during the period.

Total deposits decreased $282.8 million to $22,732.8 million as of March 31, 2025, from $23,015.6 million as of December 31, 2024, with decreases in all types of deposits except interest bearing savings deposits.

CREDIT QUALITY
As of March 31, 2025, non-performing assets increased $52.8 million, or 36.3%, to $198.4 million, compared to $145.6 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in non-accrual loans partially offset by a decrease in OREO. The increase in non-accrual loans was primarily due to an increase in non-accrual commercial real estate of $27.5 million, agricultural real estate of $15.2 million, and agricultural loans of $10.6 million, which were partially offset by a decrease in non-accrual commercial loans during the first quarter of 2025.
Criticized loans increased $252.8 million, or 32.7%, to $1,026.1 million as of March 31, 2025, from $773.3 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of $243.1 million of commercial real estate loan downgrades, which were partially offset by commercial real estate upgrades, paydowns, and payoff of $30.1 million.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, this press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to evaluate our performance relative to our capital adequacy standards: (i) tangible common stockholders’ equity; (ii) tangible assets; (iii) tangible book value per common share; (iv) tangible common stockholders’ equity to tangible assets; (v) average tangible common stockholders’ equity; (vi) return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity; (vii) net FTE interest income; (viii) net FTE interest margin ratio; (ix) adjusted net FTE interest income; and (x) adjusted net FTE interest margin ratio. Tangible common stockholders’ equity is calculated as total common stockholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights). Tangible assets are calculated as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights). Tangible book value per common share is calculated as tangible common stockholders’ equity divided by common shares outstanding. Tangible common stockholders’ equity to tangible assets is calculated as tangible common stockholders’ equity divided by tangible assets. Average tangible common stockholders’ equity is calculated as average total stockholders’ equity less average goodwill and other intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights). Return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity is calculated as annualized net income available to common shareholders divided by average tangible common stockholders’ equity. Net FTE interest income is calculated as net interest income, adjusted to include its FTE interest income. Net FTE interest margin ratio is calculated as net FTE interest income divided by average interest earning assets. Adjusted net FTE interest income is calculated as net FTE interest income less purchase accounting interest accretion on acquired loans. Adjusted net FTE interest margin ratio is calculated as annualized adjusted net FTE interest income divided by average interest earning assets. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies because other companies may not calculate these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. They also should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The Company adjusts the most directly comparable capital adequacy GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures described in subclauses (i) through (vi) above to exclude goodwill and other intangible assets (except mortgage servicing rights), adjusts its GAAP net interest income to include fully taxable equivalent adjustments and further adjusts its net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis to exclude purchase accounting interest accretion. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures, which are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by banking regulators and to present on a consistent basis our and our acquired companies’ organic continuing operations without regard to acquisition costs and other adjustments that we consider to be unpredictable and dependent on a significant number of factors that are outside our control, are useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s performance because, as a general matter, they either do not represent an actual cash expense and are inconsistent in amount and frequency depending upon the timing and size of our acquisitions (including the size, complexity and/or volume of past acquisitions, which may drive the magnitude of acquisition related costs, but may not be indicative of the size, complexity and/or volume of future acquisitions or related costs), or they cannot be anticipated or estimated in a particular period (in particular as it relates to unexpected recovery amounts). This impacts the ratios that are important to analysts and allows investors to compare certain aspects of the Company’s capitalization to other companies.
See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures table included herein and the textual discussion for a reconciliation of the above-described non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

(1) Average loan balances include loans held for sale and loans held for investment, net of deferred fees and costs, which include non-accrual loans. Interest income includes amortization of deferred loan fees net of deferred loan costs, which is not material.
(2) Management believes fully taxable equivalent, or FTE, interest income is useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s performance as a comparison of the returns between a tax-free investment and a taxable alternative. The Company adjusts interest income and average rates for tax exempt loans and securities to an FTE basis utilizing a 21.00% tax rate.
(3) Non-GAAP financial measure - see Non-GAAP Financial Measures included herein for a reconciliation to GAAP measures.
(4) Calculated by dividing total annualized interest on interest bearing liabilities by the sum of total interest bearing liabilities plus noninterest bearing deposits.
