Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks First Western Financial Inc names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 27, 2026: 51 risks under these headings, as written.5

  • Risks Related to Our Business
  • Risks Related to Our Regulatory Environment
  • Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock
  • Our banking, trust and wealth advisory operations are geographically concentrated in Colorado, Arizona, Wyoming Montana, and California, leading to significant exposure to those markets.
  • Because a significant portion of our loan portfolio is comprised of real estate loans, negative changes in the economy affecting real estate values and liquidity could impair the value of collateral securing our real estate loans and result in loan and other losses.
  • Changes in interest rates could reduce our net interest margins and net interest income.
  • If we are unable to continue to originate residential real estate loans and sell them into the secondary market for a profit, our earnings could decrease.
  • Our loan portfolio includes a significant number of commercial loans, which involve risks specific to commercial borrowers.
  • The occurrence of fraudulent activity, breaches of our information security, and cybersecurity attacks could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business, manage our exposure to risk or expand our businesses, result in the disclosure or misuse of confidential or proprietary information, increase our costs to maintain and update our operational and security systems and infrastructure, and adversely impact our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, as well as cause legal or reputational harm.
  • We rely on communications, information, operating and financial control systems technology and related services from third-party service providers, including reliance on cloud-based vendors, and we may suffer an interruption in those systems.
  • We may be subject to claims and litigation pertaining to our fiduciary responsibilities.
  • Negative developments affecting the banking industry and resulting media coverage have eroded customer confidence in the banking system.
The other 42 risks
  • We may be adversely affected by the soundness of certain securities brokerage firms.
  • The investment management contracts we have with our clients are terminable without cause and on relatively short notice by our clients, which makes us vulnerable to short-term declines in the performance of the securities under our management.
  • Fee revenue represents a significant portion of our consolidated revenue and is subject to decline, among other things, in the event of a reduction in, or changes to, the level or type of investment activity by our clients.

Legal proceedings

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, we are subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims and litigation may include, among other things, allegations of violation of banking and other applicable regulations, competition law, labor laws and consumer protection laws, as well as claims or litigation relating to intellectual property, securities, breach of contract, and tort. We intend to defend ourselves vigorously against any pending or future claims and litigation.

At this time, in the opinion of management, the likelihood is remote that the impact of such proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, one or more unfavorable outcomes in any claim or litigation against us could have a material adverse effect for the period in which they are resolved. In addition, regardless of their merits or their ultimate outcomes, such matters are costly, divert management’s attention, and may materially and adversely affect our reputation, even if resolved in our favor.
