First Northern Community Bancorp Reports Second Quarter 2025 Net Income of $5.5 Million
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, was $5.5 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, up 23.6% compared to net income of $4.4 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Total assets as of June 30, 2025, were $1.87 billion, a decrease of $16.0 million, or 0.9%, compared to June 30, 2024. Total net loans (including loans held-for-sale) as of June 30, 2025, were $1.06 billion, an increase of $14.1 million, or 1.3%, compared to total net loans (including loans held-for-sale) of $1.05 billion as of June 30, 2024. The increase in net loans was primarily driven by growth in commercial loans, which was partially offset by net reductions in commercial real estate, agricultural, and residential mortgage loans. Total deposits as of June 30, 2025, were $1.66 billion, a decrease of $43.8 million, or 2.6%, compared to June 30, 2024.
The Company continued to be 'well capitalized' under regulatory definitions, exceeding the 10% total risk-based capital ratio threshold as of June 30, 2025.
Commenting on the Company's second quarter financial results, First Northern Bank's President & Chief Executive Officer, Jeremiah Z. Smith, stated, 'We are pleased to report strong second quarter results, with net income increasing by 23.6% compared to the same quarter last year. Our net margin expanded to 3.85%, an increase of 19 basis points from 3.66%, driving a $1.0 million, or 6.1%, increase in net interest income when compared to the year prior. This improvement was due to higher yields on our loan and securities portfolios, along with disciplined deposit pricing that kept interest-bearing liability costs nearly flat during the quarter. We recorded no provision for credit losses in the quarter, due to the release of a $2.8 million specific reserve initially recorded during the first quarter of 2025. The release of specific provision was offset by an increase in pooled and unfunded reserves tied to loan growth and changes in economic forecasts.'
Commenting further, President & CEO Smith stated: 'We remain committed to improving shareholder value. During the first two quarters of the year, we repurchased 215,883 shares for total consideration of $2.2 million. Shareholders' equity improved from $187.8 million on March 31, 2025, to $194.9 million on June 30, 2025 - an increase of $7.1 million, or 3.8%, primarily driven by net income of $5.5 million and a $2.3 million improvement in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the quarter. As a result, book value per share increased $0.51 to $12.32 as of June 30, 2025, up 4.3% compared to March 31, 2025.'

Mitsubishi Electric's ME Innovation Fund Invests in Pale Blue, Startup Developing Water-based Propulsion Systems for Satellites
TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that its ME Innovation Fund has invested in Japan-based Pale Blue Inc., a startup engaged in the development, manufacturing, and sales of propulsion systems for small satellites that use water as a propellant. This is the 13th investment the fund has made to date. In recent years, the number of satellite launches has increased significantly worldwide, and the number of businesses utilizing satellite constellations has rapidly expanded. Propulsion systems, which serve as the driving force for satellite operation and orbital transfer, are critical components of satellite missions. This has led to growing demand for propulsion technologies that offer superior safety, cost efficiency, and lower environmental impact. Founded in 2020 as a deep-tech startup originating from the University of Tokyo, Pale Blue is developing proprietary water-based propulsion systems that leverage two core technologies: low-pressure, ambient-temperature water vaporization and the generation of low-power plasma with oxidation resistance, aiming to thereby realize a safe and sustainable space infrastructure. Compared to conventional propellants, water is significantly safer, more cost-effective, widely available, and environmentally friendly. Pale Blue has already completed multiple in-orbit demonstrations using small satellites, confirming the technical credibility and reliability of its solution. Pale Blue is also progressing efforts to establish its own production capabilities, which include the establishment of a production engineering development site. For the full text, please visit:

New pulp mill boosts Suzano's sales and revenue in the second quarter of 2025
SíO PAULO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Suzano, the world's largest pulp producer, announces its results for the second quarter of 2025 (2Q25), reporting sales of 3.7 million tonnes of pulp and paper. Sales increased 28% over the same period in 2024 (2Q24), mainly reflecting the strong operational contribution of the new Ribas do Rio Pardo pulp mill, whose production started in July 2024. Net revenue in the quarter totaled R$13.3 billion, a 16% increase compared to 2Q24. The expansion of pulp production capacity in Brazil, combined with the positive contribution to paper sales from the mills recently acquired in the United States and favorable FX rates, mitigated the impact on net revenue of lower pulp prices in the global market compared to 2Q24. As a result, Suzano's adjusted EBITDA reached R$6.1 billion and operating cash generation totaled R$4.1 billion. Net profit totaled R$5.0 billion positively impacted by the accounting impact of US dollar denominated debt and hedging operations translating into Brazilian Real. Beto Abreu, CEO of Suzano, commented: 'We have just marked the first year of our new pulp mill in Ribas do Rio Pardo, whose strong operational performance has already strengthened our cost competitiveness. At the same time, we continued to execute on our long-term strategy of value-accretive growth, announcing our landmark joint venture with Kimberly-Clark. We will remain disciplined and focused on capturing the potential economic gains we believe exist in the new joint venture and on further enhancing our competitiveness in the coming years.' Suzano's net leverage in U.S. dollars ended the quarter at 3.1 times. The cash cost of pulp production was R$832 per tonne (excluding downtime), a result that demonstrates the beginning of a downward trend in costs, which is expected to become even more significant in the second half of 2025.
