## Exhibit 99.1

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EXHIBIT 99.1**

**PRESS RELEASE OF NORTHWEST BANCSHARES, INC.**

**EARNINGS RELEASE**

**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE** 

**Northwest Bancshares, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2026 GAAP net income of $51 million,** 

**or $0.34 per diluted share**

**Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $51 million, or $0.35 per diluted share**

**Net interest margin continues to expand to 3.70%**

**28% average commercial and industrial loan growth from prior year**

**Credit quality remained strong with annualized net charge-offs of 0.16% and nonperforming assets of 0.70%**

Columbus, Ohio — April 27, 2026 Northwest Bancshares, Inc., (the "Company"), (Nasdaq: NWBI) announced net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 of $51 million, or $0.34 per diluted share. This represents an increase of $7 million compared to the same quarter last year, when net income was $43 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, and an increase of $5 million compared to the prior quarter, when net income was $46 million, or $0.31 per share. The annualized returns on average shareholders' equity and average assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 were 10.86% and 1.22% compared to 10.90% and 1.22% for the same quarter last year and 9.70% and 1.10% for the prior quarter.

Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $51 million, or $0.35, per diluted share, which increased by $2 million from $49 million, or $0.33, per diluted share, in the prior quarter. This increase was primarily driven by a decrease in adjusted noninterest expense of $6 million and a decrease in provision for credit losses expense of $3 million which were partially offset by a decrease in noninterest income of $5 million. The adjusted annualized returns on average shareholders' equity (non-GAAP) and average assets (non-GAAP) for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 were 10.95% and 1.23% compared to 10.33% and 1.17% for the prior quarter.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share payable on May 20, 2026 to shareholders of record as of May 7, 2026. This is the 126th consecutive quarter in which the Company has paid a cash dividend. Based on the market value of the Company's common stock as of March 31, 2026, this represents an annualized dividend yield of approximately 6.3%.

In addition, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase, from time to time, up to an aggregate $50 million of its outstanding common shares over the next 24 months. This new program replaces the prior share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors on December 13, 2012. Under the share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or through negotiated transactions at prevailing market rates, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws. The timing and amount of share repurchases under the stock repurchase program will depend on several factors, including the Company's stock price performance, ongoing capital planning considerations, general market conditions, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Louis J. Torchio, President and CEO, Northwest Bancshares commented, "I am delighted with Northwest's strong first quarter performance delivering record net income in the Company's 130-year history, more than 16% year-over-year growth, supported by a balanced and consistent performance across the whole bank. We drove 28% year-over-year loan growth in our C&I business, with disciplined growth in our national specialty business verticals, and our deposit franchise continues as a core strength with our third consecutive quarter of lower deposit costs, one of the best-in-class among our peers. On the cost side, our expense management discipline led to a 59.4% efficiency ratio, which was 57.8% on an adjusted basis (non-GAAP), and our rigorous credit and risk management approach led to a decline in non-performing assets and overall delinquencies this quarter and lower annualized net charge-offs. We achieved these outstanding results while continuing to invest in talent, technology, and new financial centers to support our future growth."

"We have another year of growth ahead of us, with our first financial centers in the Columbus market on track to open this year, and our team already delivering an impact in the market attracting new talent, customers, and deposits. The growing momentum and continuing transformation at Northwest, coupled with our consistent execution across the organization, gives me great confidence in our ability to capitalize on further opportunities for profitable and sustainable core growth."

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Average loans receivable increased $1.9 billion from the quarter ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by the Penns Woods acquisition. Compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2025, average loans receivable increased $101 million driven by growth in our commercial and industrial and consumer loan portfolios.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Average investments grew $430 million from the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and $266 million from the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The growth in average investments was primarily due to the Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. ("Penns Woods") acquisition and a targeted increase in the overall securities portfolio.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Average deposits grew $2.0 billion from the quarter ended March 31, 2025 primarily driven by an increase in interest-bearing account balances primarily due to the addition of the Penns Woods deposit accounts. Average deposits grew $276 million from the quarter ended December 31, 2025 across all interest-bearing products due to internal growth and the higher use of brokered CDs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Average borrowings increased $180 million compared to the quarter end March 31, 2025 due to the acquisition of long term borrowings from Penns Woods. Average borrowings increased $50 million compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The increase in average borrowings is attributable to the addition of short term borrowings to fund loan and securities growth.

| Net interest margin | 3.70% | 3.69% | 3.87% |  |  |

---

Compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2025, net interest income increased $15 million and net interest margin decreased to 3.70% from 3.87% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. This increase in net interest income resulted primarily from:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A $21 million increase in interest income that was the result of higher average yields coupled with increase in average earning assets. The increase in average earnings assets was driven by the Penns Woods acquisition during the third quarter 2025. The average yield on loans declined to 5.62% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 from 6.00% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, which included an interest recovery of $13.1 million on a non-accrual commercial loan payoff during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Excluding this interest recovery, the yield on loans for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was 5.52%. The increase in yield, excluding the recovery, was driven by loan mix shift towards higher yielding commercial loans, partially offset by the impact of fourth quarter 2025 rate cuts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A $6 million increase in interest expense is the result of an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities partially offset by a decline in the cost of deposits. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.06% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 from 2.15% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2025, net interest income increased slightly and net interest margin increased to 3.70% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 from 3.69%. This increase in net interest income resulted from the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A $1 million decrease in interest income driven by growth in the average interest earning balances and an increase on investments yields compared to the prior quarter which was offset by a decrease in loan yields. The average yield on loans decreased to 5.62% from 5.65% and average investment yields increased to 3.17% from 2.98% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The decrease in loan yields was driven by a decline in the accretion of loan fair value marks, based on timing of loan payoffs, coupled the impact of the fourth quarter 2025 rate cuts.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A $2 million decrease in interest expense driven by lower interest expense on deposits which was partially offset by an increase in interest expense on borrowings. Average cost of interest-bearing deposits declined compared to the prior quarter to 1.89% from 1.97% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 while average cost of borrowings increased to 3.88% from 3.83% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

| Total provision for credit losses expense | $4369 | 7724 | 7911 | (43.4)% | (44.8)% |

---

The total provision for credit losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $4 million primarily driven by growth in our commercial lending portfolio and increased uncertainty in the economic outlook. Total provision for credit losses for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was $8 million driven by growth in our commercial lending portfolio and net charge-offs in the period.

The Company saw an increase in classified loans to $498 million, or 3.81% of total loans, at March 31, 2026 from $279 million, or 2.49% of total loans, at March 31, 2025 and $453 million, or 3.49% of total loans, at December 31, 2025. The increase from the prior quarter was driven by changes in our commercial portfolio which increased $30 million. The increase from the prior year was primarily due to classified loans acquired in the Penns Woods acquisition.

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Noninterest income increased $4 million from the quarter ended March 31, 2025 driven by an increase in service charges and fees driven by deposit related fees based on customer activity related to the Penns Woods acquisition and other operating income driven by a gain on equity method investments during the current quarter. Noninterest income decreased by $5 million from the quarter ended December 31, 2025, due to a decrease in income from bank-owned life insurance due to a large claim recognized in the prior quarter.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-personnel expense | 45708 | 48378 | 37197 | (5.5)% | 22.9% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total noninterest expense | $104038 | 113521 | 91737 | (8.4)% | 13.4% |

---

Noninterest expense increased from the quarter ended March 31, 2025 due to a $4 million increase in personnel expenses driven by an increase in core compensation and benefits expense due to the addition of Penns Woods employees. Additionally, non-personnel expense increased by $9 million due an increase of $2 million in amortization of intangible expense related to the acquisition coupled with increases in operating and processing expenses due to the addition of the Penns Woods branches to our footprint.

Noninterest expense decreased from the quarter ended December 31, 2025 due to declines in personnel and non-personnel expenses. Personnel expense decreased $7 million driven by lower incentive compensation and medical expenses. Non-personnel expense decreased by $3 million due to an decrease of $4 million in merger and restructuring expenses in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, partly offset by a $2 million increase in premises and occupancy expenses based on seasonal operating expenses during the quarter.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Management uses these "non-GAAP" measures in its analysis of the Company's performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures allow for better comparability of period-to-period operating performance. Additionally, the Company believes this information is utilized by regulators and market analysts to evaluate a company's financial condition and therefore, such information is useful to investors. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. See the pages 9 and 10 of this release for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures where applicable.
