The filing
Idaho First Bank is the seventh largest of the 12 the Mountain West banks nearest its size between $1B and $3B, with $1.36B in assets at 30 June 2026. Loans are 78.2% of deposits, 4th of 11 against a median of 80.2%, and equity is 10.5% of assets, 7th of 12. Loans grew +48.8% in the year, the fastest in the cohort, and deposits grew 21.2%; the cohort's median loan growth is +11.4%.
Noncurrent loans are 0.05% of the book, 3rd of 11 against a median of 0.46%; 0.04% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 26.1 times. Net charge-offs are 0.12% of loans, 7th of 11. Commercial real estate is 27.7% of loans, 3rd of 11 against a median of 33.2%, and 169% of capital, below the 300% screen, with construction at 50% against the 100% screen.
Return on assets is 0.86%, 11th of 12 against a median of 1.62%, on an efficiency ratio of 52.8%, 7th of 12. Five years ago it was 0.86%. The question is whether the new lending seasons as cleanly as the book it joined, and what funded it.
