Explanatory Note On January 25, 2024, First Western Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K furnishing under Items 2.02 and 9.01 the Company’s press release announcing its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Original Filing”). The full text of the press release was included as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original Filing. This Amendment (this “Amendment”) to the Original Filing is being filed to reflect a subsequent event that occurred following the issuance of the Original Filing, more fully described herein. In accordance with ASC 855, Subsequent Events, the Company has determined that this event provided additional evidence about conditions that existed as of the date of the balance sheet. The adjustment was identified by the Company’s management after the date of the Original Filing and as part of the Company’s customary procedures to finalize its financial statements for inclusion in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 2.02    Results of Operations and Financial Condition. An updated presentation of the Company’s “Consolidated Financial Summary” and “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Matters” is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Amendment and is incorporated herein by reference. The following is a summary of the adjustment. In late 2022, management identified a Commercial and Industrial loan that had developed repayment issues. The loan was placed on non-accrual status in the first quarter of 2023. Throughout 2023, we increased our allowance on individually analyzed loans by $4.0 million specifically for this loan. On February 28, 2024, the Company was notified that the borrower filed a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Petition for the guarantor. Per Company policy, a charge-off is taken upon the occurrence of the filing by a borrower of a petition for bankruptcy. We intend to pursue all available remedies to us in the bankruptcy proceeding. The charge-off resulted in a $3.5 million, net of tax, decrease to the fourth quarter and annual net income available to common stockholders. The Company also adjusted the Allowance for credit losses by $4.0 million and decreased Loans by $8.6 million. Management has discussed the matters disclosed in this Amendment with Crowe, LLC, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and with the Company’s Board of Directors and Audit Committee.
