Společnost Bitcoin Bancorp byla vybrána jako vítězný uchazeč o klíčová aktiva Bitcoin Depot včetně zhruba 2 446 bitcoinových bankomatů. Část transakcí už je uzavřena, zbytek má být dokončen v příštím čtvrtletí.
LAS VEGAS, Sept. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitcoin Bancorp, Inc. (OTC: BCBC) (“Bitcoin Bancorp” or the “Company”), a diversified digital asset infrastructure and Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) development company and holder of foundational U.S. patents related to Bitcoin ATMs, today announced that it has been designated as a successful bidder for certain key assets of Bitcoin Depot Inc. and its affiliated debtors in Chapter 11 proceedings pending before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.
Under multiple agreements with Bitcoin Depot, Bitcoin Bancorp is acquiring assets that include approximately 2,446 Bitcoin ATM kiosks, associated floorspace agreements, parts inventory, intellectual property, trademarks, patents, the BitcoinDepot.com domain name and other related digital assets. The transactions were approved by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Section 363 of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code, under which the court-approved sales provide for acquired assets to be transferred free and clear of interests in such property, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Sale Order(s).
Certain portions of the transactions have already closed, and Bitcoin Bancorp is in the process of taking possession of acquired assets pursuant to the Court’s Sale Orders. Final closings remain subject to customary closing conditions. The Company currently expects the remaining closings to be completed during the upcoming quarter and expects the acquired assets to be reflected in future Company reports.
Bitcoin Depot, founded in 2016, developed into one of North America’s largest Bitcoin ATM operators and among the largest globally. According to Bitcoin Depot Inc.’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, Bitcoin Depot operated approximately 9,700 owned and leased kiosks across 48 U.S. states, 10 Canadian provinces and six Australian states, in addition to its BDCheckout product at approximately 16,300 retail locations. From its inception in July 2016 through December 31, 2025, Bitcoin Depot reported completing more than 4.0 million user transactions representing approximately $3.4 billion in total transaction value.
Bitcoin Bancorp believes the acquired assets could accelerate the expansion of its Bitcoin ATM infrastructure while adding technology, intellectual property and digital brand assets that complement its existing portfolio. The acquired intellectual property is expected to complement Bitcoin Bancorp’s subsidiary’s existing U.S. patents, identified as US9135787B1 and US10332205B1, while the BitcoinDepot.com domain and related digital properties would expand the Company’s online presence and customer reach.
The addition of 2,446 kiosks and related agreements could also provide Bitcoin Bancorp with a more capital-efficient path to expanding its physical infrastructure than deploying an equivalent footprint entirely through organic development. The Company believes this approach could shorten the time required to expand its network while reducing the capital and operational resources that would otherwise be required to build comparable infrastructure from the ground up.
“These transactions represent an important inflection point for Bitcoin Bancorp,” said Eric Noveshen, Executive Vice-President of Bitcoin Bancorp. “Acquiring established Bitcoin ATM infrastructure, intellectual property and digital assets through the bankruptcy process could materially accelerate our business strategy compared with building an equivalent platform entirely through organic expansion. We believe this provides Bitcoin Bancorp with an opportunity to shorten the company’s developmental timeline, the ability to deploy capital more efficiently and strengthen both the scale of the physical network and digital presence as we integrate these assets.”
Bitcoin Bancorp expects the acquired assets, once integrated, to support broader geographic access to Bitcoin ATM services, additional infrastructure for cash-to-Bitcoin transactions, technology and operational improvements, and longer-term product development connecting physical retail infrastructure with digital asset services. The Company intends to maintain its focus on compliant, transparent and user-friendly access to Bitcoin and other digital assets.
While the broader Bitcoin ATM and cryptocurrency industry continues to evolve amid increasing regulatory oversight and industry consolidation, Bitcoin Bancorp continues to believe that those conditions may create opportunities for operators with infrastructure, intellectual property, compliance capabilities and efficient cost structures. The Company intends to continue evaluating opportunities that support scalable Bitcoin ATM infrastructure and complimentary business opportunities while maintaining its focus on regulatory adherence and shareholder value.

Few regional banks had a year as dramatic as Merchants Bancorp NASDAQ: MBIN and still managed to keep a Buy rating from analysts. The parent of Merchants Bank of Indiana has swung from a credit scare in mid-2025 to a shareholder investigation in the spring of 2026. Even so, the stock has kept climbing.
Investors interested in a growth bank stock that’s not a typical bank stock might find Merchants to be what they’re looking for.

Merchants Bancorp is far from a typical community bank. It operates three distinct businesses: multifamily and healthcare mortgage banking; mortgage warehousing that funds other lenders' loans; and a traditional commercial and consumer banking unit.
This diversified model, built since the company's 1990 founding as a mortgage banking company and its 2017 initial public offering, has made it one of the largest originators of government-sponsored multi-family and healthcare mortgages in the country. It also explains why its earnings can swing sharply from one quarter to the next as credit provisions and loan volumes shift.
Lower Credit Costs Drive the Earnings ReboundThe most recent numbers give an example. On July 28, Merchants Bancorp reported second-quarter net income of $78.3 million, more than double the $38 million earned a year earlier. Diluted earnings per share came in at $1.48, up 147% from a year earlier and blowing past Wall Street's consensus estimate of $1.22 per share.
Revenue of $182.2 million also topped the $179 million analysts had modeled. Net interest income rose to $136.5 million from $128.7 million a year earlier, a gain of about 6%.
Much of the surge in earnings came from its credit side, not just volume. Merchants slashed its provision for credit losses to $9.2 million in the quarter, 83% lower than a year earlier. The year-ago set-aside came as 2025 reflected weaker appraised values on multi-family properties and a borrower mortgage-fraud investigation that crushed second-quarter 2025 results.
Growth has also been a factor. Total assets hit a record $21.2 billion at quarter-end, up from $19.1 billion a year earlier and $20.3 billion in the first quarter of 2026. Deposits climbed to $14.25 billion from $12.7 billion a year ago.
Tangible book value per share rose to $39.93 from $35.42 a year earlier, and credit metrics improved sequentially. Criticized loans, or those being watched for possible problems, fell to $444.7 million from $505.5 million, and nonperforming loans dropped to $205.6 million from $247.5 million in the first quarter.
Credit and Deposit Issues Have Fueled TurmoilDespite the current positive picture, Merchants has not avoided some turmoil.
In the second quarter of 2025, Merchants Bancorp reported a sharp surge in credit provisions. That hit to earnings came as it recorded substantial loan charge-offs tied directly to mortgage fraud investigations involving specific borrowers.
Adjustments were also heavily driven by estimated market value declines on multi-family real estate properties after the bank received new, lower appraisals. The stock declined nearly 9% on the news.
Further, law firms announced earlier this year that they were investigating the company after Merchants disclosed in this year’s first-quarter results that brokered deposits, a key funding source, had fallen nearly 50% year-over-year. They claim that this action came at odds with earlier management commentary about strong deposit growth. Shares fell more than 9% in late April to about $45 on the disclosure.
Shares Rally as Earnings RecoverThat history, however, has barely slowed the stock price. Shares in Merchants are up more than 54% this year and 63.5% over the past 12 months.
Wall Street also expects diluted earnings of $5.58 per share for full-year 2026 and $5.99 for 2027. That would represent a sharp recovery from 2025, when full-year net income fell 32% to $218.8 million and diluted earnings per share dropped 40% to $3.78, largely because of the credit-provision spike.

Return on equity has softened as capital has grown faster than profit, but management has kept rewarding shareholders. The board raised the quarterly common dividend 10% to 11 cents per share in February 2026, marking the eighth consecutive year of dividend increases.
A $100 million share-repurchase authorization approved in January 2026 also gives management room to buy back up to roughly 6% of shares outstanding through the end of 2027.
Wall Street's take has been only slightly mixed, with an overall rating of Buy. Of the five analysts tracking the stock, three rate the company a Buy, one a Strong Buy, and one a Hold.
The consensus 12-month price target is near $51.50, while the stock has recently traded slightly above that level. The highest 12-month target is $64 per share, while the lowest is $42.
Recovery Potential Still Comes With RisksOverall, this regional bank, which is much more than a regional bank, looks like a classic high-beta recovery story. Credit costs are normalizing, earnings are beating estimates, and the stock is responding.
A lingering risk is the unresolved shareholder investigations tied to deposit disclosures. Merchants also has a business model that leans heavily on specialized multi-family and mortgage-warehouse lending.
With that understood, investors could be in for a positive ride. But that does not necessarily mean the ride will be smooth.

University Bancorp ve 2Q2026 vykázala čistý zisk 2,35 mil. USD, tedy 0,45 USD na akcii, oproti ztrátě 2,02 mil. USD před rokem. Za prvních šest měsíců se zisk zvýšil na 11,26 mil. USD.
ANN ARBOR, MI / ACCESS Newswire / September 3, 2026 / University Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQB:UNIB or "UNIB") announced that it had an unaudited net income attributable to University Bancorp, Inc. common stock shareholders in 2Q2026 of $2,350,713, $0.45 per share on average shares outstanding of 5,169,518 for the second quarter of 2026, compared to an unaudited net loss of $2,015,771, $0.39 per share on average shares outstanding of 5,169,518 for 2Q2025. On a fully diluted basis, net income per share in 2Q2026 was $0.36. There were no dilutive instruments outstanding in 2Q2025.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net income was $11,255,597, $2.18 per share on average shares outstanding of 5,169,518 for the period, compared to $1,784,600, $0.35 per share on average shares outstanding of 5,169,518 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. On a fully diluted basis, net income per share in 1H2026 was $1.74. There were no dilutive instruments outstanding in 1H2025.
Shareholders' equity attributable to University Bancorp, Inc. common stock shareholders was $109,844,993 or $21.25 per share, based on shares outstanding at June 30, 2026, of 5,169,518, and $20.80 per share, on a fully diluted basis, based on 6,481,854 fully diluted shares outstanding.
Return on equity (ROE) at University Bancorp in 2Q2026 annualized was 12.3%, despite mortgage originations nationwide continuing to be at 30-year lows with respect to units originated. The annualized ROE for the TTM ended June 30, 2026, was 19.9% on initial shareholders' equity of $93,132,755 at June 30, 2025."
Year to date earnings in 2026 were assisted by two major factors, partially offset by one factor, that had an overall net positive impact of $5,839,445 before taxes as follows:
Mortgage Servicing Rights Valuation adjustment - With the rise in long-term mortgage interest rates during the year, the valuation of our MSRs increased $4.2M and $1.1M at 2Q2026 and 1Q2026, respectively.
Mortgage Origination Pipeline Valuation adjustment - The fair market value of the hedged mortgage origination pipeline rose as the value of locked loans rose over the prior quarter by $431,338 and $366,797 at 2Q2026 and 1Q2026, respectively.
Allowance for Loan Losses adjustment - The Allowance for Loan Losses increased from the prior quarter by $157,343 and $32,205 at 2Q2026 and 1Q2026, respectively.
Overall, our business development efforts and growth continue. For example, during 2Q2026:
On April 1, 2026, we closed on the acquisition of a faith-based mortgage company competitor to UIF, American Finance House Lariba, and the acquisition was successfully integrated into our faith-based subsidiary, UIF. UIF is a wholly owned subsidiary of University Bank.
On July 1, 2026, UNIB acquired 100% of Greater Pacific Bancshares and Bank of Whittier, NA. for a purchase price of $37.2 million of which 48% was paid in cash and the remainder paid in Notes. This acquisition provides many opportunities for expanded ability to provide faith-based financing (home, commercial real estate, vehicle) and deposits (FDIC-insured time, savings, checking and tax advantaged IRA deposit accounts). UNIB anticipates that the transaction will be accretive to earnings per share over time, and with the residential servicing transferred to Midwest Loan Services, a division of University Bank, currently targeted for November 1st, we anticipate achieving significant economies of scale. The key financial terms of the transaction are available at this link: https://www.university-bank.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/press-189-Supplement.pdf.
Faith-based deposits have grown to $208.3 million at June 30, 2026, and include a new product that enables the automatic sweep of idle balances in customer accounts at brokerage firms into and out of our faith-based deposit products, which is accelerating deposit growth.
University Bank is now licensed for conventional mortgage lending and home equity lending in all 50 states. After completing the rollout of our 1st Mortgage HELOC program in all 47 states where we intend to introduce the product, volumes are accelerating. We are now working on rolling out a fixed home equity second mortgage lending program tied to an industry standard credit box in 47 states, with the loans being sold to the secondary market and subserviced by our Midwest Loan Services division.
At June 30, 2026, cash & equity investment securities at UNIB, available to meet working capital needs and to support investment opportunities at UNIB were $56.1 million. UNIB also has available a $12.5 million line of credit with a balance due of $0 at June 30, 2026.
A portion of UNIB's working capital, $34.8 million (at market value), has been invested in a portfolio of publicly traded investments concentrated in four large investments. The four largest investments at June 30, 2026, were:
Currency Exchange International (Symbol CURN), a company that specializes in foreign exchange, of which we now own 762,339 shares, 12.93% of the currently outstanding shares of common stock, at an average cost of $13.38 per share.
Pulsar Helium (Symbol PSRHF), of which we now own 10,444,811 shares, 4.87% of the currently outstanding shares of common stock, at an average cost of $0.602 per share.
A $5,000,000 investment in Silver, via futures contracts, at a cost of $61.45 per ounce. In addition to this core position, we recently booked a $750,000 profit on the sale of a $2,000,000 leveraged position long a Silver ETF when Silver was $71 per ounce.
A portfolio of put options on the following indices: S&P500, KRE (S&P 500 Banks) & XLF (S&P 500 Banks, Shadow Banks, Insurance Companies & REITs), and one large regional bank. UNIB's put option portfolio was worth $2.7 million at June 30, 2026.

Equity Bancshares se dohodla na akvizici Lincoln Bancorp za zhruba 123 milionů USD, čímž rozšíří svou působnost v Iowě. Sloučená banka má mít aktiva v objemu asi 9,1 miliardy USD.
Equity Bancshares NYSE: EQBK has agreed to merge with Lincoln Bancorp, the parent company of Lincoln Savings Bank, in a transaction valued at approximately $123 million that would expand Equity’s footprint in Iowa.
The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary conditions, with Lincoln Savings Bank slated to convert to Equity Bank’s systems in the second quarter of 2027. Equity said the combined company is projected to have about $9.1 billion in assets, $6.7 billion in loans and $7.7 billion in deposits after reducing excess liquidity.
Lincoln Savings Bank operates 16 branches across central and northeast Iowa and had $1.7 billion in assets, according to Equity Bank CEO Rick Sems. The acquisition would add locations in Des Moines, Waterloo, Cedar Falls and surrounding Cedar Valley communities to Equity’s existing presence across Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Arkansas.

Transaction Terms and Financial Outlook Lincoln shareholders are expected to receive approximately 1.89 million shares of Equity stock and $29.5 million in cash. Equity put the consideration at about 1.05 times Lincoln’s tangible book value. Following the merger, Equity shareholders are projected to own approximately 91.6% of the combined company, while Lincoln shareholders would own 8.4%.
Equity CFO Chris Navratil said the transaction is expected to be accretive to earnings per share by approximately 5.1% in 2027, 7.5% in 2028 and 10.1% in 2029. The company estimated tangible book value dilution at closing of 3.8%, with an earn-back period of roughly 2.6 years.
The company has modeled cost savings equal to 30% of Lincoln’s consolidated non-interest expense. Those savings are expected to be realized at 50% in 2027, 75% in 2028 and fully thereafter. Equity estimated pretax transaction expenses of about $23.7 million.
Navratil said Equity expects a “modest step backward” in margin and return on assets as Lincoln is incorporated in 2027, followed by a normalization in 2028 and expansion in 2029. He attributed the increasing accretion forecast primarily to the timing of cost-savings realization.
Iowa Expansion and Local Operations Chairman and CEO Brad Elliott described Iowa as a long-standing growth priority for Equity. He said the acquired markets fit Equity’s mix of rural and metropolitan banking operations, while providing opportunities for long-term organic growth.
“This transaction is not about changing Lincoln’s model,” Elliott said. “It is about building on it.”
Equity said it intends to retain all Lincoln branches, maintain local leadership and preserve local decision-making. Doug Anderson and Mike Cisney will continue leading the Iowa markets, Elliott said.
Lincoln Chair Sally Hollis said the company sought a partner that could provide additional resources, technology and scale while preserving its community banking culture. Lincoln Savings Bank was founded in 1902 and has grown into one of Iowa’s largest private community banks, she said.
Lincoln Savings Bank CEO Sean Willett said the combination is expected to offer customers broader product and service access, create additional career opportunities for employees and provide further support for communities.
Credit Review and Growth Plans Equity said its due diligence included a review of approximately 70% of Lincoln’s total loans, 78% of its commercial portfolio and all classified, non-performing and watch credits. The company modeled an $18 million gross credit mark, equal to 1.5% of gross loans, and a $27.8 million loan interest-rate discount, equal to 2.3%.
Elliott said Lincoln had previously identified certain credits and had been working through them for the past two to three years. He said Equity believes those credits have been appropriately marked and expressed confidence that they can be resolved before or after closing.
In response to analyst questions, Elliott said Lincoln had reset its portfolio roughly three years ago by reducing certain types of lending and rebuilding its origination platform. He said the bank had returned to a building phase in recent quarters.
Sems said Lincoln’s loan portfolio is similar to Equity’s and includes a tax-credit business that Equity plans to retain. Elliott added that the portfolio is granular rather than concentrated in large relationships, which he said aligns with Equity’s approach.
Equity expects to manage Lincoln’s deposit mix gradually, rather than making broad pricing changes immediately after closing. Sems said the process typically takes about two years, with attention directed first to higher-cost deposits and individual customer relationships.
Capital Position and Path Toward $10 Billion Equity projected pro forma capital ratios of 10.6% for common equity tier 1 capital, 13.4% for total risk-based capital, 9.0% for leverage and 8.6% for tangible common equity to tangible assets. Navratil said the ratios would remain above regulatory and internal thresholds.
The combined company’s projected $9.1 billion asset base would place Equity closer to the $10 billion threshold. Elliott said the company has spent several years building its risk-management infrastructure and believes it is prepared to cross that level if the appropriate opportunity arises.
Navratil estimated that the interchange-related impact of surpassing $10 billion in assets could be between $7 million and $13 million. He said Equity estimates it would need roughly $400 million to $900 million in additional assets, depending on profitability assumptions, to offset that effect.

The Bancorp, Inc. NASDAQ: TBBK has spent the past two years working to live down a credibility crisis, and its latest quarter suggests it is largely succeeding.
The company hit a rough patch in early 2024 when a short seller questioned its financial results.
Get Bancorp alerts:
A year later, The Bancorp announced an accounting restatement tied to its real estate bridge lending book.
But the stock has since clawed its way back, and analysts have maintained a positive outlook.
With a moderate upside to its shares and consumer spending still going strong, investors now need to ask how much further this bank has to grow.
Powering Fintech Behind the ScenesEven though The Bancorp is a bank, it has no branches and no household brand name. Instead, it operates behind the scenes as one of the country's largest "banking-as-a-service" sponsors.
The company holds deposits and issues cards so fintech apps can act like banks without becoming one, such as for Chime NASDAQ: CHYM, PayPal NASDAQ: PYPL and Cash App from Block NYSE: XYZ. In fact, the company this year was listed as the top issuer of prepaid cards and the sixth-largest issuer of debit cards in the United States.
Fintech Growth Drives Stronger EarningsThe Bancorp is now working to confirm that the issues of the past two years are well behind it. The second quarter gave the bulls plenty to work with. Bancorp reported diluted earnings per share of $1.45, up 14.2% from $1.27 a year earlier and comfortably ahead of the $1.36 Wall Street had modeled.
Consolidated net income came in at $60.7 million, return on equity hit 34.7%, up from 28.4% in the year-ago quarter. The efficiency ratio, a measure of how much it costs the bank to generate a dollar of revenue, held relatively steady at a lean 41%. The bank also posted a return on assets of an impressively high 2.51% for the quarter.
Growth is coming squarely from the fintech side of the business. Gross dollar volume moving across Bancorp's partner programs rose 22.5% year-over-year to $53.45 billion, and total fintech fee income climbed to $40.9 million from $35.6 million. Fintech loans now amount to $901.5 million, up from $680.5 million a year earlier.
Shares Rebound From Recent WeaknessThese numbers were a positive signal for a bank that has had a rocky journey the past couple of years. Although the stock is down roughly 4% since the start of the year, it has gained more than 18% in just the past three months. That is still a far cry from its 52-week high of $81.65 per share, achieved before issuing disappointing earnings for last year’s third quarter.
The Bancorp, Inc. (TBBK) Price Chart for Wednesday, September, 2, 2026
The company was also hit with difficult news in recent years. In March 2024, short seller Culper Research accused Bancorp of understating losses in its real estate bridge lending portfolio and holding reserves it called grossly inadequate.
A year later, the company disclosed that investors could no longer rely on its 2022 through 2024 financial statements because of accounting issues tied to consumer fintech loan losses, triggering a securities class action lawsuit that remains pending.
Credit Concerns Continue to EaseThe latest report, however, showed that the story that scared investors most in 2024 has flipped in Bancorp's favor. Total criticized loans, or those being watched for potential problems, fell to $146.7 million from $305.2 million a year earlier. In particular, the real estate bridge loans at the center of the earlier controversy dropped $169.6 million from the second quarter of 2025.
At the same time, management raised full-year 2026 earnings guidance to a range of $5.95 to $6.05 per share and reiterated 2027 guidance of $8.10 to $8.30.
Buybacks Return Capital to ShareholdersIn addition, though the company does not pay a dividend, management has said it intends to keep returning close to 100% of net income to shareholders through buybacks, another way to boost per-share growth.
Bancorp repurchased $50 million of stock in the second quarter, representing about 2% of outstanding shares. It has bought back $403.6 million worth of shares since mid-2025, shrinking its share count to about 41 million.
Analysts See More Upside AheadWall Street today is generally optimistic. Seven brokerages now cover the stock with a consensus rating of Moderate Buy and an average price target near $71.17, implying an upside of abaout 10%.
Overall, four analysts rate the stock a Buy, one has it listed as a Strong Buy, and two suggest a Hold. The highest 12-month target price is $88 per share, while the lowest is $57. Several analysts have raised their targets in recent weeks, citing improving credit trends and fintech growth, while others have reiterated their Outperform or Buy recommendations.
Strong Fundamentals Come With RisksTaken as a whole, Bancorp's fundamentals stand on their own. The bank has double-digit earnings growth, accelerating fintech fee income, criticized loans down by more than half, and management raising guidance. A shrinking share count also benefits investors.
The risk, however, is that much of that good news is already reflected in the stock's trading. Bancorp also depends heavily on a small number of large fintech partners for deposits and fees, and losing even one, or seeing a partner pursue its own banking charter, could dent results quickly.
Investors comfortable with volatility might look to The Bancorp for its growth and buyback story. The company appears to be moving in the right direction, but the question is whether that direction will include more bumps on the way.

Earnings SANTA ANA, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 5, 2026 / Infinity Bancorp (OTCQB:INFT) (the "Company" or "Bancorp"), the holding company for Infinity Bank (the "Bank"), today announced financial results for the quarter ended, June 30, 2026.
Financial highlights for the second quarter of 2026:
Net income was $1.4 million for the second quarter, a 6.2% increase over the first quarter of 2026
A cash dividend of $0.10 per share was paid to shareholders during the second quarter of 2026
Loans increased $31.4 million or 14% during the second quarter
Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses
Total loans were $255.1 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $223.7 million for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $31.4 million, or 14.1%. When compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, total loans increased $25.4 million, or 11.0%. The Bank funded $46.3 million in new loans/advances in the second quarter of 2026. The fundings were offset by $14.9 million in payoffs, most of which were expected based on the contractual terms of the loans. The increase in loans caused the Bank's loan deposit ratio to increase to 82.5% as of June 30, 2026, from 65.2% as of March 31, 2026, and from 76.0% a year ago.
In order to maintain the Bank's Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL) at its current level, as a percentage of total loans, the Bank made an additional provision to the ACL of $205 thousand during the second quarter of 2026. The Bank recorded $204 thousand in net charge-offs during the quarter ended March 31, 2026. At the time of the charge-offs the necessary reserves had already been established in the Bank's ACL. There were no charge-offs for the second quarter of 2026. The Bank's ACL at 1.51% decreased from 1.63% when compared to the previous quarter.
Yields on total loans decreased to 8.34% during the second quarter of 2026, compared to 8.59% from first quarter of 2026 and decreased from 8.96% in the second quarter, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, yield on loans decreased to 8.46% compared to 8.93% for the same period in 2025. The decrease in yields from 2025 was due to 75 basis point reduction in the federal funds rates that were approved by the Federal Open Market Committee in the third and fourth quarters of 2025 as well as fluctuations with the mix of the portfolio.
Deposits and Borrowed Funds
Total deposits equaled $309.5 million at June 30, 2026, a decrease of $33.8 million, or (9.8%) from the first quarter of 2026, and an increase of $7.1 million, or 2.3% from December 31, 2025. Non-interest-bearing demand accounts increased $5.1 million, or 3.0% to $176.0 million as of June 30, 2026, and comprise 57.0% of total deposits. Non-interest-bearing demand accounts increased $2.6 million, or 1.5% when compared to December 31, 2025. Interest-bearing deposits decreased by $38.9 million, or (22.6%) when compared to first quarter of 2026 and increased $4.4 million, or 3.5% when compared to December 31, 2025. The changes in deposits were generally related to normal shifts in customer deposits.
The Company did not have any Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) or other borrowings at June 30, 2026, or March 31, 2026, decreasing from $5 million in overnight borrowings at December 31, 2025.
The Company's cost of funds was down to 1.28% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to 1.30% from the previous linked quarter and down from 1.58% for the same quarter last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the cost of funds decreased to 1.29% from 1.65% for the same period in 2025. Cost of funds decreased in response to decreases in the federal funds rate in 2025.
Net-interest Income
Net-interest income for the second quarter of 2026 was $4.9 million, a slight increase of $33 thousand, or 0.7% from the first quarter of 2026 and an increase of $172 thousand, or 3.7% over the second quarter of 2025. For the six-months ended June 30, 2026, net-interest income was $9.7 million, an increase of $471 thousand, or 5.1% from the same period in 2025.
The Company's net interest margin for the second quarter of 2026 was up 16 basis points to 5.84% when compared to first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and down 9 basis points from 5.93% for the comparable period ended June 30, 2025. The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2026, decreased to 5.76% compared to 5.86% for the same period in 2025. The change in the net interest margin from period to period is due to fluctuations in the mix of both loans and deposits as well as changes in rates related to three 25 basis point rate cuts implemented by the Federal Reserve from September through December 2025. The Company's primary source of net-interest income continues to be driven by interest on loans followed by other short-term investments.
Non-interest Income
For the second quarter of 2026, non-interest income totaled $174 thousand, an increase of $38 thousand, or 27.9% when compared to the previous quarter and from same period in 2025. For the six-months ended June 30, 2026, non-interest income totaled $310 thousand, up $61 thousand, or 24.5% from linked period in 2025. Non-interest income continues to be driven primarily by fees on loans and deposit accounts.
Non-interest Expense
For the second quarter of 2026, non-interest expense totaled $2.9 million, a decrease of $46 thousand, or (1.6%) from the first quarter of 2026 and a decrease of $56 thousand, or (1.9%) when compared to same quarter in 2025. For the six-months ended June 30, 2026, non-interest expense increased $186 thousand, or 3.3%, to $5.8 million from linked period in 2025. The increase for the six-month period was driven primarily by inflation. The Company's efficiency ratio equaled 57.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to 58.8% at March 31, 2026, and 60.7% for the same quarter in 2025. The efficiency ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was 57.9% compared to 59.2% for the same period in 2025.
Net Income
For the second quarter of 2026 the Company's net income increased $79 thousand to $1.4 million, or $0.43 basic earnings per share compared to $1.3 million, or $0.41 basic earnings per share for the first quarter of 2026. When compared to the second quarter of 2025, profitability was relatively the same at $1.4 million, or $0.44 basic earnings per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net income was relatively flat at $2.6 million, or $0.84 basic earnings per share, compared to $2.6 million, or $0.83 basic earnings per share for the first six months of 2025. The increase in profitability is directly tied to the increases in net interest margin as discussed above.
The return on average assets increased 12 basis points to 1.60% for the second quarter of 2026 as compared to 1.48% for the first quarter of 2026 and decreased 11 basis points from 1.71% for the second quarter of 2025.

The book value of the Company's common stock was $14.18 as of June 30, 2026, up from $13.82 as of March 31, 2026, and up from $12.68 at June 30, 2025. The increase in the book value of the Company's common stock is primarily related to the additional income recorded in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, as well as the continued decrease in the unrealized loss on investment securities. The investment portfolio consists entirely of government agency or government sponsored enterprise securities and therefore, the risk of incurring an actual loss is unmeasurably low. Although the Company holds its investment securities ("securities") as available for sale, we do not have the intent to sell any securities at this time. These securities are pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank and provide the Company with liquidity by allowing us to borrow approximately 95% of the fair market value of the portfolio. Also, the securities are amortizing, which provides the Company with additional liquidity of approximately $650 thousand in monthly payments that are reinvested in higher yielding assets. As of June 30, 2026, the portfolio has an average life of 2.5 years.

SCOTTSDALE, AZ / ACCESS Newswire / August 3, 2026 / Bancorp 34, Inc. (OTCID:BCTF), the parent company for Southwest Heritage Bank, together, the "Company" reports second quarter of 2026 performance.
Management Comments - Ciaran McMullan, Chairman & CEO
Core1 ROATA improved for the seventh consecutive quarter.
Core1 Net Interest Margin also improved over both the linked and prior year quarters.
While total loans increased modestly over the linked quarter, we booked approximately $37.0 million in new commitments.
Non-performing assets declined significantly as we returned a single large relationship to accrual status.
The bank received approval to retire $23.0 million of subordinated debt, effective July 15th, 2026.
As a result, annual interest cost will decline by $920,000.
During the quarter, we appointed a new Market President for our Las Cruces / El Paso market
2Q26 Highlights
Net Income and NIM
Core1 NIM improved over the linked and prior year quarters, by 8bps and 22bps, respectively driven by declining deposit costs and improved loan portfolio yields.
Net Income improved over the linked quarter driven primarily by increased net interest income and declined over the prior year due to the impact of a large recovery in Q2 2025.
Net Operating Income (pre-tax pre-provision) increased over both the linked and prior year quarters due to improved NIM and non-interest income.
Non-interest expense increased slightly during the quarter due to one-time costs related to the relocation of our Scottsdale Branch.
Balance Sheet
Deposits declined by $29.0 million in line with historical trends primarily due to tax payments coming due in April.
Total loans were up only slightly as elevated payoffs offset the impact of $37.0 million in new loan commitments.
Asset Quality
NPAs3 improved significantly, declining to 0.31% due to the upgrade of a single relationship of approximately $7.0 million.
Capital
TBVPS increased by $0.32, including a modestly negative AOCI impact.
The bank's Tier 1 Leverage Ratio increased to 13.36%.

These statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the Company's management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors. Factors that could cause such differences to exist include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, changes in interest rates, the effects of any health pandemic, regulatory considerations, competition and the other risks. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this release.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES- Some of the financial measures included in this release are not measures of financial performance recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures include: (i) core net income; (ii) core net interest margin; (iii) core ROAA; (iv) core ROAE (v) core ROATA; (vi) core ROATE; (vii) core NIE to average assets; and (viii) core efficiency ratio. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and management with a more complete understanding of our financial position and performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP financial measures. Not all companies use the same calculation of these measures; therefore, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as presented by other companies. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables.

Executive Summary
Total deposits were $2.636 billion at June 30, 2026, compared to $2.672 billion at March 31, 2026.Net interest margin was 3.03 percent for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 2.95 percent for the first quarter of 2026, and 2.80 percent for the second quarter of 2025. Total yield on interest-earning assets was 5.25 percent for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 5.21 percent for the first quarter of 2026, and 5.24 percent for the second quarter of 2025. Total cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 6 basis points to 2.87 percent for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 2.93 percent for the first quarter of 2026, and decreased 29 basis points from 3.16 percent for the second quarter of 2025.The efficiency ratio for the second quarter was 96.8 percent compared to 62.4 percent in the prior quarter, and 60.6 percent in the second quarter of 2025.The annualized return on average assets ratio for the second quarter was (1.83) percent, compared to 0.61 percent in the prior quarter, and 0.42 percent in the second quarter of 2025.The annualized return on average equity ratio for the second quarter was (19.22) percent, compared to 6.50 percent in the prior quarter, and 4.55 percent in the second quarter of 2025.The provision for credit losses was $19.0 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2026. In the second quarter of 2025, the Bank recorded a provision of $4.9 million.Total criticized and classified loans was $367.4 million in the second quarter compared to $403.0 million at March 31, 2026.The allowance for credit losses on loans as a percentage of non-accrual loans was 62.5 percent at June 30, 2026, compared to 54.5 percent for the prior quarter-end and 49.8 percent at June 30, 2025. Total non-accrual loans were $72.0 million at June 30, 2026, $59.8 million at March 31, 2026 and $101.8 million at June 30, 2025.Total loans receivable, net of the allowance for credit losses on loans, of $2.588 billion at June 30, 2026, decreased from $2.860 billion at June 30, 2025.
The net loss for the second quarter of 2026 was primarily driven by a $19.0 million provision for credit losses on loans, a $5.3 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, and a $2.6 million loss on a loan transferred to held-for-sale. The elevated provision reflects additional reserves established for the Business Express loan portfolio and other portions of the Commercial and Industrial (“C&I”) loan portfolio, which has continued to experience elevated net charge-offs. Management determined that a higher reserve level was prudent given the portfolio’s performance trends, taking into account the early results of a recently commenced evaluation of the Bank’s loan portfolio focusing on potential problem loans. The goodwill impairment charge resulted from an interim quantitative impairment assessment triggered by the Company’s significant quarterly loss and the continued trading of its stock at a substantial discount to book value. The non-cash charge fully impaired the goodwill recorded on its balance sheet. The loss on the loan transferred to held-for-sale is consistent with management’s overall balance sheet evaluation strategy and relates to a non-accrual construction loan expected to be sold during the third quarter.
“We are actively conducting a comprehensive review of the Bank’s loan portfolio with the assistance of independent consultants as part of our broader effort to strengthen the balance sheet and position the franchise for long-term success. It is too early in our evaluation to assess whether and to what extent additional loans, not captured in the second quarter results, may be impacted. While we remain focused on delivering sustainable operating performance, our immediate priority is to maintain disciplined balance sheet management and long-term value creation. As our evaluation continues in the third quarter, we will fully explore various alternatives to strengthen the credits or exit the relationships, which may include workouts and loan restructurings, such as potentially seeking additional collateral, interest rate adjustments, as well as select loan sales. In addition, the Bank has ceased originating residential mortgage, home equity, and consumer loans, as we believe the current risk-adjusted returns in these categories are not sufficiently attractive. At June 30, 2026, our capital remains above well capitalized. To help preserve capital at the bank and liquidity at the holding company, the board of directors agreed to suspend both common and preferred dividends at their June meeting. We have taken these steps that are focused on capital preservation to support our balance sheet strengthening initiatives and reinforce our commitment to building a safer, stronger, and more resilient institution.” said Tom O’Brien, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank.
Reincorporation in Delaware
The Company also announced today that the board has decided to change its state of incorporation to Delaware, and to end the current staggered board terms in favor of annual director elections. Mr. O’Brien noted: “the change to Delaware will align us with the vast majority of public companies and allows for updated governance provisions that will help place our company in line with prevailing public company governance practices. Later this quarter, we will call a special meeting of shareholders to be held late this year. The purpose of the meeting will be to seek shareholder approval to reincorporate in Delaware. The full presentation of these governance changes will be provided in a proxy statement in connection with the special meeting.”
Balance Sheet Review
Total assets decreased by $161.3 million, or 4.9 percent, to $3.118 billion at June 30, 2026, from $3.279 billion at December 31, 2025. The decrease in total assets was mainly related to a decrease in net loans and cash and cash equivalents, offset by an increase in debt securities.
Total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $79.7 million, or 28.8 percent, to $196.9 million at June 30, 2026, from $276.6 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease in cash was primarily due to the reduction of the Bank’s exposure to wholesale funding by paying down high cost brokered deposits and FHLB advances.
Loans receivable, net, decreased by $103.1 million, or 3.8 percent, to $2.588 billion at June 30, 2026, from $2.691 billion at December 31, 2025, due to loan payoffs, paydowns and charge-offs. Total loan decreases during the period included decreases of $35.2 million in construction loans, $30.9 million in commercial and multi-family loans, $10.9 million in commercial business loans, $5.9 million in business express loans, and $8.0 million in 1-4 family residential loans, and $679,000 in cannabis, home equity and consumer loans.
The allowance for credit losses on loans increased $11.3 million to $45.0 million, or 62.5 percent of non-accruing loans and 1.71 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2026, as compared to an allowance for credit losses on loans of $33.7 million, or 53.3 percent of non-accruing loans and 1.24 percent of gross loans, at December 31, 2025.
Total investment securities increased by $16.7 million, or 12.3 percent, to $152.3 million at June 30, 2026, from $135.6 million at December 31, 2025, representing current year purchases, offset by current year sales.
Deposits decreased by $37.6 million, or 1.4 percent, to $2.636 billion at June 30, 2026, from $2.674 billion at December 31, 2025. Certificates of deposit accounts and savings accounts decreased $45.2 million and $13.1 million, respectively, and were offset by an increase in money market accounts of $20.8 million. Brokered deposits declined by $28.6 million from $80.5 million at December 31, 2025 to $51.9 million at June 30, 2026.
Debt obligations decreased by $109.9 million to $168.3 million at June 30, 2026, from $278.2 million at December 31, 2025, due to maturities and paydowns of FHLB advances. The weighted average interest rate of FHLB advances was 4.88 percent at June 30, 2026, and 4.53 percent at December 31, 2025. The weighted average maturity of FHLB advances as of June 30, 2026, was less than ninety days. The interest rate of the Company’s subordinated debt balances was 9.25 percent at June 30, 2026, and at December 31, 2025.
Stockholders’ equity decreased by $12.4 million, or 4.1 percent, to $291.9 million at June 30, 2026, from $304.3 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease was attributable to the decrease in retained earnings of $13.2 million, or 11.3 percent, to $103.2 million at June 30, 2026, from $116.4 million at December 31, 2025, caused largely by the $9.9 million loss in the first six months of 2026.
Asset Quality
The Bank had non-accrual loans totaling $72.0 million, or 2.73 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2026, as compared to $59.8 million, or 2.22 percent of gross loans, at March 31, 2026, and $63.3 million, or 2.32 percent of gross loans at December 31, 2025. The Bank had total past due loans totaling $122.8 million, or 4.66 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2026, as compared to $107.9 million, or 4.01 percent of gross loans, at March 31, 2026, and $99.1 million, or 3.64 percent of gross loans, at December 31, 2025. The Bank had total classified and criticized loans totaling $367.4 million, or 13.94 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2026, as compared to $403.0 million, or 14.98 percent of gross loans, at March 31, 2026, and $360.0 million, or 13.19 percent of gross loans, at December 31, 2025.
The allowance for credit losses on loans of $45.0 million, as of June 30, 2026, increased by $12.4 million, or 38.1 percent, compared to March 31, 2026, and increased by $11.3 million, or 33.5 percent, compared to December 31, 2025. The $12.4 million increase compared to March 31, 2026 was driven by a $19.0 million increase in provision expense that was partially offset by $6.6 million in loan charge-offs. The increases in provision expenses and charge-offs compared to both periods were primarily attributed to the C&I portfolio that has continued to experience elevated net charge-offs. The C&I portfolio generated net charge-offs of $824 thousand in the first quarter, increasing to $5.8 million in the second quarter. In addition, the Bank determined that a full recovery is no longer expected on a previously charged-off $6.3 million C&I relationship. Reflecting these developments and broader credit trends observed within the C&I portfolio, management separately evaluated the portfolio under its qualitative reserve framework during the second quarter, resulting in a $10.8 million increase to the allowance established for the portfolio.
During the second quarter, the Bank transferred one loan on nonaccrual status to held-for-sale, which was written down to fair market value resulting in a loss of $2.6 million reflected in non-interest income under the line item for net loss on the sale of loans. The remaining carrying value of the loan is $10.8 million. Loans held-for-sale are not included in past due loans or classified loans.
The allowance for credit losses was 62.5 percent of non-accrual loans at June 30, 2026, compared to 54.5 percent of non-accrual loans at March 31, 2026, and 53.3 percent of non-accrual loans at December 31, 2025, respectively.
Mr. O’Brien noted that, “since June 1, 2026, we have been engaged on a comprehensive re-evaluation of the company’s credit portfolios with the assistance of independent consultants. Their initial feedback has been reflected in the loan loss reserving decisions made during the second quarter and we are working toward completion of that review by the end of the third quarter. With respect to the much larger commercial real estate portfolio, we are in the early stages of our analysis. Given the absolute size and complexity of these portfolios, this remains a work in progress.”
Second Quarter 2026 Income Statement Review
The Company reported a net loss of $14.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to net income of $3.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. This decline was primarily due to a $14.1 million increase in loan loss provisioning, a $5.3 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, a $2.6 million loss on the sale of loans and a $1.7 million increase in salaries and employee benefits. This was offset by a decrease in tax provision of $4.9 million.
Interest income decreased by $2.7 million, or 6.3 percent, to $40.5 million for the second quarter of 2026 from $43.2 million for the second quarter of 2025. The average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $215.5 million, or 6.5 percent, to $3.092 billion for the second quarter of 2026 from $3.307 billion for the second quarter of 2025. The average yield increased 1 basis point to 5.25 percent for the second quarter of 2026 from 5.24 percent for the second quarter of 2025.
Interest expense decreased by $3.0 million to $17.1 million for the second quarter of 2026 from $20.1 million for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease resulted from a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities of 29 basis points to 2.87 percent for the second quarter of 2026 from 3.16 percent for the second quarter of 2025, while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $156.0 million to $2.393 billion for the second quarter of 2026 from $2.549 billion for the second quarter of 2025.
The net interest margin was 3.03 percent for the second quarter of 2026 compared to 2.80 percent for the second quarter of 2025. The increase in the net interest margin compared to the second quarter of 2025 was the result of a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
The provision for credit losses was $19.0 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher reserve requirements within the C&I loan portfolio, as further described under Asset Quality. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company recognized $6.6 million in net charge-offs compared to $5.7 million in net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2025. The Bank had non-accrual loans totaling $72.0 million, or 2.73 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2026, as compared to $63.3 million, or 2.32 percent of gross loans, at December 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses on loans was $45.0 million, or 1.71 percent of gross loans, at June 30, 2026, and $33.7 million, or 1.24 percent of gross loans, at December 31, 2025. Management believes the allowance for credit losses on loans was adequate at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Non-interest income decreased by $2.5 million to a loss of $470 thousand for the second quarter of 2026, compared to income of $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in total non-interest income was primarily attributable to a $2.6 million loss on the sale of loans, compared to no such loss in the prior year period, and a $108 thousand increase in mark-to-market losses on investment securities, partially offset by a $131 thousand increase in Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) income.
Non-interest expense increased by $6.9 million, or 45.0 percent, to $22.1 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $15.3 million for the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a $5.3 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, a $1.7 million increase in salaries and benefits expense, which included $814 thousand severance costs, and a $273 thousand increase in advertising and promotion expense. Partially offsetting these increases was a $205 thousand decrease in professional fees.
The income tax provision decreased by $4.9 million, to an income tax benefit of $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2026 when compared to a $1.5 million provision for the second quarter of 2025.
Year-to-Date Income Statement Review
Net income decreased by $5.1 million to a net loss of $9.9 million for the first six months of 2026, compared to a net loss of $4.8 million for the first six months of 2025. The increased net loss was primarily attributable to a $5.3 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, a $2.6 million loss on the sale of loans and a $2.6 million increase in salaries and employee benefits.
Net interest income increased $1.1 million for the first six months of 2026, as interest expense decreased by $7.6 million, or 17.9 percent, to $34.7 million from $42.3 million for the first six months of 2025 and interest income decreased $6.5 million, from $87.4 million to $80.9 million for the same period. The average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $257.1 million, or 7.6 percent, to $3.118 billion from $3.375 billion, while the average yield on interest-earning assets increased 1 basis point to 5.23 percent from 5.22 percent. The decline in average interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $279.5 million decrease in average loans, partially offset by a $19.2 million increase in average investment securities. The decrease in interest expense was driven by declines in interest expense on borrowings and deposits of $4.0 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Average borrowings decreased $201.4 million, while the average rate paid on borrowings increased by 70 basis points to 5.56 percent. Average deposits declined $10.1 million and the average rate paid on deposits declined 32 basis points to 2.59 percent.
Net interest margin was 2.99 percent for the first six months of 2026, compared to 2.70 percent for the first six months of 2025. The increase in the net interest margin compared to the prior period was the result of a decrease in the cost of the Company’s interest-bearing liabilities, by 35 basis points to 2.90 percent and an increase in the rate earned on earning assets, by 1 basis point to 5.23 percent.
The provision for credit losses decreased by $4.0 million to $21.8 million for the first six months of 2026 from $25.7 million for the same period in 2025. The elevated provision in the prior-year period reflected a previously disclosed $13.7 million specific reserve related to a $34.2 million cannabis-sector lending relationship. The 2026 provision was primarily driven by increased reserve requirements within the C&I loan portfolio, as further described under Asset Quality. During the first six months of 2026, the Company experienced $10.5 million in net charge-offs compared to $9.9 million in net charge-offs for the same period in 2025.
Non-interest income decreased by $2.2 million to $1.6 million for the first six months of 2026, compared to $3.9 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $2.6 million loss on the sale of loans in 2026, compared to no such loss in the prior year period. Partially offsetting this was a $469 thousand increase in income from Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”).
Non-interest expense increased by $7.8 million, or 25.9 percent, to $37.7 million for the first six months of 2026 from $29.9 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a $5.3 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge and a $2.6 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense, which included $814 thousand severance costs recognized during the second quarter. Advertising expenses and OREO expenses increased $294 thousand and $280 thousand, respectively. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases in professional fees, director fees and regulatory assessments of $270 thousand, $241 thousand and $98 thousand, respectively.
The income tax benefit decreased by $157 thousand or 8.1 percent, to an income tax benefit of $1.8 million for the first six months of 2026 when compared to a $1.9 million income tax benefit for the same period in 2025. While the pretax loss increased to $11.6 million from $6.7 million in the prior period, the income tax credit declined primarily because the $5.3 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge recognized in 2026 is not deductible for income tax purposes and therefore did not generate a corresponding tax benefit.

Bancorp ve 2. čtvrtletí zvýšil zisk na akcii na 1,45 USD, meziročně o 14,2 %, a zvedl celoroční výhled zisku na 5,95 až 6,05 USD na akcii. Fintech tržby vzrostly o 21 %.
Should The Bancorp Make Your Small-Cap Watchlist for 2023? Bancorp NASDAQ: TBBK reported second-quarter 2026 earnings per share of $1.45, up 14.2% from a year earlier, as growth in its fintech business, lending fees and operating leverage supported record earnings for the first half of the year.
Chief Executive Officer Damian Kozlowski said the company generated a 34.7% return on equity in the quarter and expects further increases over the next three years. He said Bancorp intends to continue returning capital through share repurchases, forecasting $200 million of buybacks in 2026, or about $50 million per quarter.
Get Bancorp alerts:
The company raised its full-year 2026 earnings outlook to $5.95 to $6.05 per share. It also set a fourth-quarter target of $1.65 to $1.75 per share and maintained preliminary 2027 guidance of $8.10 to $8.30 per share. The guidance includes the anticipated effect of share repurchases.
Fintech growth and program pipeline Fintech gross dollar volume, or GDV, increased 22.5% year over year in the second quarter, while fintech revenue, including fee and spread revenue, rose 21%, Kozlowski said. He cited continued onboarding of new programs and expansions with existing partners across the company’s fintech platform.
Kozlowski said the Cash App program had begun ramping and should contribute to GDV growth and profitability in coming quarters, with more material contributions expected in late fourth-quarter 2026 and the first quarter of 2027. He said current GDV growth remained broad-based across the company’s verticals, including virtual cards, neobanks, virtual wallets, healthcare and corporate payments, with Cash App accounting for little of the reported growth so far.
The company also expects to announce two additional credit-sponsorship programs that could come online within six months, subject to implementation timing and customary factors. Kozlowski described the prospective programs as higher-velocity lending products that would not use the balance sheet in the same way as the company’s Chime relationship.
In addition, Bancorp said development of its embedded-finance platform was progressing and that it expects to soon announce its first embedded-finance partner.
Loans, deposits and margin Chief Financial Officer Dominic Canuso said average loans rose 5% from the first quarter, on a nonannualized basis, to $7.63 billion, and increased 16% from the prior-year quarter. Average fintech loans totaled $1.39 billion, or 18% of average total loans, compared with 15% in the first quarter and 8% a year earlier.
Ending loan balances declined sequentially, but Canuso said the change stemmed from a one-time acceleration of a payment due date associated with a lending partner. The adjustment aligned payment timing with customer terms and conditions and did not change customer performance, contractual terms or Bancorp’s economics, he said. Management said average balances were a better measure of the business’s underlying economic trajectory, although ending balances should align with average-balance changes going forward.
Bancorp continues to target a shift in loan mix toward higher-velocity, higher-returning credit-sponsorship lending. Canuso said the company was still working toward approximately $2 billion in fintech loan balances by year-end, though the result could vary depending on the timing and velocity of new programs.
Average deposits rose $97 million, or 1.2% from the first quarter, and increased $357 million, or 4.4%, from a year earlier. The average cost of deposits fell seven basis points sequentially to 1.63%, 55 basis points below the year-earlier level.
The company ended the quarter with $1.1 billion in deposits swept off its balance sheet. That figure was down 16% from the first quarter due to seasonality but up 32% from year-end 2025. Canuso said the company expects off-balance-sheet sweeps to increase over time despite potential quarterly fluctuations.
Net interest margin was 3.85%, relatively unchanged from the first quarter. Fintech lending fees, which are recognized in fee revenue, equated to an additional 28 basis points of margin, up from 24 basis points in the prior quarter and 18 basis points a year earlier. Canuso said net interest income should be roughly flat during the second half of 2026, with some traditional margin compression expected as fintech lending becomes a larger portion of the mix.
Fees, credit and expenses Noninterest income excluding credit enhancement rose 8.2% sequentially, on a nonannualized basis, and 16.7% year over year to $47.3 million. Fintech fees accounted for 29.7% of total revenue, up one percentage point from the first quarter and four percentage points from the second quarter of 2025.
Credit performance remained strong across asset classes, management said. Real estate bridge loan criticized loans declined by $13 million, or 22%, to $46 million, the lowest level since mid-2023. Excluding fintech credit-sponsorship loans supported by full credit enhancement, the traditional lending portfolio recorded a $0.4 million provision during the quarter.
Noninterest expense totaled $56.5 million, producing an efficiency ratio of 41%. Kozlowski said investments in artificial intelligence were helping employees handle increasing payment volume and improve productivity, including through AI-supported financial-crimes narrative writing. He said the company expects AI tools, restructuring efforts and fintech platform scale to support expense control and operating leverage.
Management also discussed the potential for fintech partners to pursue bank charters, arguing that Bancorp’s scalable compliance, technology and middle-office infrastructure could continue to provide value even to partners with their own charters. Kozlowski said the company has invested hundreds of millions of dollars over roughly a decade in its platform and regulatory capabilities.
On its real estate-owned Aubrey asset, Kozlowski said occupancy had surpassed 70% and the property was approaching stabilization. He said Bancorp expects the project to be completed in the first quarter, when it should move from break-even to profitability as occupancy improves further.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
The Bancorp shares have added about 0.1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 6.9%.
What's Next for The Bancorp?While The Bancorp has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for The Bancorp was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.42 on $167.68 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $5.95 on $678.77 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Banks - Northeast is currently in the top 21% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
StoneX Group Inc. (SNEX - Free Report) , another stock in the broader Zacks Finance sector, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026.

StoneX Group Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $1.32 billion, up 28.5% from the year-ago quarter.

Multi-family residential construction loan growth was largely driven by new apartment homes in Lafayette Parish.
Credit Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses
At June 30, 2026, non-performing assets ("NPAs") totaled $2.3 million, down $385,000, or 14%, compared to NPAs of $2.7 million at March 31, 2026. The decline in NPAs was primarily due to the pay-off of a substandard commercial real estate loan that was individually evaluated for credit losses as of March 31, 2026. The ratio of NPAs to total assets was 0.80% and 0.94% at June 30 and March 31, 2026, respectively. Non-performing loans ("NPLs") were 1.43% and 1.64% of total loans at June 30 and March 31, 2026, respectively. At June 30, 2026, 96% of total NPLs were one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, compared to 82% at March 31, 2026.
At June 30, 2026, the allowance for credit losses on loans totaled $2.2 million, or 1.34% of total loans, compared to $2.3 million, or 1.40% of total loans, at March 31, 2026. The Company recorded a $104,000 reversal of provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2026, compared to a $70,000 reversal for the first quarter of 2026. The reversal of expected credit losses in the second quarter of 2026 was largely driven by a decline in construction and land loan balances as a result of a $5.0 million construction loan converting to an amortizing commercial real estate loan and a decline in the amount of classified commercial real estate loans during the second quarter of 2026. The reversal of expected credit losses in the first quarter of 2026 was primarily driven by declines in commercial and industrial and residential loan balances.
Net loan charge-offs totaled $1,000 during the second quarter of 2026, compared to net loan charge-offs of $37,000 during the first quarter of 2026. Net loan charge-offs during the first quarter of 2026 included a $28,000 charge-off of a commercial line of credit.
Investment Securities
Total investment securities were $67.1 million, or 23% of total assets, at June 30, 2026, up $3.9 million, or 6%, compared to March 31, 2026. During the second quarter of 2026, we purchased $6.0 million of subordinated debt issued by bank holding companies. The issuers are financially strong, publicly traded companies based in the southern United States. The weighted average yield of the securities purchased during the second quarter of 2026 was 6.3%. We did not purchase investment securities in the first quarter of 2026.
Deposits
Total deposits were $196.4 million at June 30, 2026, up $1.0 million, or 1%, from March 31, 2026. Total deposits averaged $198.8 million during the second quarter of 2026, compared to $198.2 million during the first quarter of 2026. The ratio of the Company's total loans to total deposits was 83% and 84% at June 30 and March 31, 2026, respectively.

Growth in high-yield savings accounts has been a primary driver of deposit growth during both the first and second quarters of 2026.
Total public fund deposits were $27.4 million, or 14% of total deposits, at June 30, 2026, compared to $29.8 million, or 15% of total deposits, at March 31, 2026. During the second quarter of 2026, total public fund deposits averaged $30.1 million, compared to $35.6 million during the first quarter of 2026. The decline in public fund deposits was largely due to seasonal fluctuations.

At June 30 and March 31, 2026, consolidated shareholders' equity totaled $82.5 million and $82.2 million, or 28.5% of total assets, respectively. Following the merger of Lakeside with and into the Company and the Bank, consolidated shareholders' equity is estimated to be approximately $78.7 million, or 12.5% of total assets, based on data as of June 30, 2026.
The Company repurchased 24,206 shares of its common stock at an average cost per share of $16.20 during the second quarter of 2026, compared to 16,614 shares at an average cost per share of $15.71 during the first quarter of 2026. The Company paused share repurchases while conducting merger-related due diligence and negotiations.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company announced our sixth share repurchase plan (the "November 2025 Repurchase Plan"). Under the November 2025 Repurchase Plan, the Company may purchase up to 205,000 shares, or approximately 5% of the Company's outstanding common stock. At June 30, 2026, 148,091 shares of the Company's common stock were available for repurchase under the November 2025 Repurchase Plan.
Since the announcement of our first share repurchase plan on January 26, 2023 and through June 30, 2026, the Company has repurchased a total of 1,255,909 shares of its common stock, or 24% of the common shares originally issued, at an average cost per share of $12.19. At June 30, 2026, the Company had common shares outstanding of 4,034,091.
Net Interest Income
The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2026 was 3.86%, up three basis points compared to the prior quarter. For the second quarter of 2026, the average yield on interest-earning assets was 5.34%, down two basis points from the prior quarter, and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 2.31%, down four basis points from the first quarter of 2026. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2026 was $2.6 million, up $46,000, or 2%, compared to the first quarter of 2026.
Total interest income was up $14,000, or less than 1%, in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the prior quarter largely due to an increase in income on investment securities, cash and due from banks, and other interest earning assets, which was mostly offset by a decline in interest income on loans. During March 2026, a $5.9 million commercial and industrial loan relationship paid off after the sale of the borrower's business. In the same month, the Company purchased $817,000 of stock in the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, which yields a statutory rate of 6.0%. During the second quarter of 2026, as previously mentioned, the Company purchased subordinated debt with an average yield of 6.3%.
Total interest expense decreased $32,000, or 3%, in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the prior quarter. The decline in interest expense was mainly due to a decline in the average volume of total interest-bearing liabilities. Total average interest-bearing deposits were down $2.4 million, or 1%, during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the prior quarter, largely due to fluctuations in public funds.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the Company's total dollar amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets and the resulting yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates, and the net interest margin. Taxable equivalent ("TE") yields have been calculated using a marginal tax rate of 21%. All average balances are based on daily balances.

Professional fees for the second quarter of 2026 totaled $175,000 and included $64,000 of merger-related expenses. For the first quarter of 2026, professional fees totaled $185,000 and included $95,000 of merger-related expenses. Excluding merger-related expenses, professional fees increased during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the prior quarter primarily due to expenses associated with the Company's annual meeting and annual report.
Advertising and marketing expense for the second quarter of 2026 was $47,000, up $14,000, or 42%, compared to the prior quarter largely due to merger-related expenses.
Other non-interest expense totaled $289,000 for the second quarter of 2026, up $55,000, or 24%, from the prior quarter. The majority of the increase was due to training and education expenses and annual report distribution costs. Other non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2026 also included $8,000 of merger-related expenses.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2026 totaled $152,000, up $26,000, or 21%, compared to the first quarter of 2026. The Company's effective tax rate was 22.5% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 18.4% for the first quarter of 2026. The increase in income tax expense and the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2026 was mainly due to the tax impact of non-deductible merger-related expenses.

National Capital Bancorp oznámila za 2. čtvrtletí čistý zisk 1,624 mil. USD, tedy 1,41 USD na akcii, a dividendu 0,26 USD na akcii. Firma zároveň očekává uzavření fúze s ODNB Financial ve 4. čtvrtletí 2026.
Earnings WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESS Newswire / July 29, 2026 / National Capital Bancorp, Inc. ( "NACB" or the "Company") (OTCID:NACB), the holding company for The National Capital Bank of Washington ("NCB" or the "Bank") reported net income of $1,624,000, or $1.41 per common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to net income of $1,914,000, or $1.66 per common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported net income of $2,677,000 or $2.32 per common share, compared to $3,587,000, or $3.12 per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in earnings was primarily attributable to higher provision expense in the first quarter and merger related expenses.
Total assets were up year-over-year at $742,918,000 on June 30, 2026, compared to $702,597,000 on June 30, 2025. Total loans of $503,870,000 on June 30, 2026, decreased by $26.3 million during the quarter and have decreased by $5.9 million over the past twelve months. Loan balances in the quarter were impacted by the payoff of several construction loan projects, payoffs of several residential real estate loans, as well as lower utilization of commercial revolving credit lines. Total deposits of $655,952,000 on June 30, 2026, increased $5.3 million during the quarter but have increased $44.2 million over the past twelve months. The Company has been focused on balanced growth with increases in deposits providing funding for new loan opportunities. As a result, the Company continues to experience a relatively low reliance on wholesale funding sources and maintains strong levels of available secured borrowing capacity to meet the financing and cash flow needs of our client base as well as continuing to pursue desirable new relationship opportunities.
The Company's net interest margin of 3.62% during the second quarter of 2026 increased compared with 3.51% in the first quarter of 2026 and comparable to 3.68% in the second quarter of 2025. The increase quarter over quarter is attributable to a favorable shift in deposit mix.
Total shareholders' equity increased to $70,172,000 on June 30, 2026 from $63,281,000 a year ago due primarily to the retained earnings for the past twelve months. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the return on average assets and return on average equity was 0.72% and 7.79%, respectively.
The Company's level of non-performing loans of 2.32% of total loans on June 30, 2026, compared to 2.55% on December 31, 2025, consists of five nonaccrual loans with two separate borrowers. Four of the loans are CRA-eligible multifamily loans, which participate in the DC Housing Voucher Program, while the fifth loan is a DC multifamily construction and development loan. All five loans have been individually evaluated for specific reserves using recent appraisals. The Company has recorded partial charge-offs on these loans of $3.6 million, including $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2026. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.21% on June 30, 2026, compared with 1.22% on June 30, 2025, while the annualized net charge-off ratio was 0.90% for the first half of 2026. The Bank is continuing to work multiple paths to cost-effectively resolve these problem loans.
"We continue to work through resolutions for our non-performing assets while concurrently focusing on growing the Bank through strong, relationship based, loan opportunities funded by core deposits." said Jimmy Olevson, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank. "We are also excited to work towards closing the previously announced merger with ODNB Financial Corporation, with an expected closing date in the fourth quarter of this year."
The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.26 per share for shareholders of record as of August 14, 2026. The dividend payout of $299,620.88on 1,152,388 shares is payable August 28, 2026.
On June 15, 2026, the Company and ODNB Financial Corporation ("ODNB"), the holding company of Old Dominion National Bank, jointly announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which NACB will merge into ODNB, with ODNB surviving as the bank holding company. The combined holding company, which will be renamed National Capital Bancorp, Inc., expects to list its common stock and trade under the ticker symbol "NACB".

Glen Burnie Bancorp ve 2. čtvrtletí vykázala čistou ztrátu 272 tis. USD, zatímco úvěry vzrostly o 10,3 % na 267,6 mil. USD. Ztrátu prohloubily vyšší opravné položky a náklady na kompenzace.
GLEN BURNIE, Md., July 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glen Burnie Bancorp ("Company") (OTCQX: GLBZ), the bank holding company for The Bank of Glen Burnie ("Bank"), today reported a net loss of $272 thousand, or $(0.09) per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to net income of $84 thousand, or $0.03 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2026, and a net loss of $212 thousand, or $(0.07) per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2025.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported a net loss of $188 thousand, or $(0.06) per diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $59 thousand, or $(0.02) per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Pre-tax pre-provision income was $117 thousand for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $122 thousand for the first quarter of 2026 and a pre-tax pre-provision loss of $296 thousand for the second quarter of 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, pre-tax pre-provision income was $239 thousand, an improvement of $1.0 million from a pre-tax pre-provision loss of $792 thousand for the first six months of 2025.
Second-quarter results reflected continued strong loan growth, stable underlying net interest margin performance and increased mortgage banking revenue. These positive developments were offset primarily by provision expense associated with loan growth, premium acceleration within the purchased automobile loan portfolio and increased compensation-related expenses, including investments in additional commercial lending personnel to support the Bank's Annapolis expansion.
"We continued to generate meaningful loan growth during the second quarter while maintaining stable asset quality and liquidity," said Mark C. Hanna, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Although reported earnings were affected by provision expense required to support that growth and by premium acceleration within our purchased automobile loan portfolio, yields across the remainder of the loan portfolio remained stable and core net interest margin improved modestly. We also made a significant investment in a Loan Production Office in the Annapolis market, adding two commercial lenders, and saw increased activity from VA Wholesale Mortgage. Our focus remains on converting recent balance-sheet growth into sustainable earnings while maintaining disciplined funding, expense and capital management."
Second Quarter 2026 Highlights
Continued strong loan growth. Total loans increased $25.1 million, or 10.3%, during the second quarter to $267.6 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $242.6 million at March 31, 2026. For the first six months of 2026, total loans increased $36.4 million, or 15.7%, from $231.2 million at December 31, 2025. Compared to June 30, 2025, total loans increased $54.3 million, or 25.4%. Loan growth during 2026 was primarily attributable to purchased consumer loans and commercial real estate loans for both owner-occupied and investment properties.
Stable underlying net interest margin. Net interest income was approximately $3.0 million for both the second and first quarters of 2026, compared to $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2025. Reported net interest margin was 3.11% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 3.26% for the first quarter of 2026 and 3.05% for the second quarter of 2025. The first quarter included $167 thousand of loan interest income that did not recur in the second quarter, consisting of an $88 thousand positive adjustment related to a purchased loan pool and $79 thousand of interest collected on a previously nonaccrual loan that repaid in full. Excluding these items, core net interest margin increased modestly to 3.11% for the second quarter from approximately 3.08% for the first quarter.
Underlying loan yields remained stable outside the automobile portfolio. Core loan yield declined to 5.63% for the second quarter from 5.77% for the first quarter. The decline was concentrated in the automobile loan portfolio. Loans excluding automobile loans yielded 5.80% during the second quarter, compared to 5.79% during the first quarter. The reported yield on automobile loans declined to 4.89% from 5.69%, primarily reflecting increased loan prepayments and the resulting acceleration of unamortized purchase premiums. Despite the decline in reported loan yield, core loan interest income increased approximately $164 thousand linked quarter as higher average loan balances and the additional day in the second quarter more than offset the effect of lower reported yields.
Provision expense reflected loan growth rather than credit deterioration. The provision for credit losses increased to $569 thousand for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $86 thousand for the first quarter of 2026 and $79 thousand for the second quarter of 2025. The increase primarily reflected significant loan growth and changes in unfunded commitments. Asset quality remained stable. Nonperforming loans totaled approximately $669 thousand, or 0.25% of total loans, at June 30, 2026, compared to $662 thousand, or 0.27% of total loans, at March 31, 2026. The allowance for credit losses was $3.2 million, or 1.18% of total loans, at June 30, 2026 compared to $2.8 million, or 1.15% of total loans at March 31, 2026.
Mortgage banking activity increased. Mortgage commission income from VA Wholesale Mortgage increased to $353 thousand for the second quarter of 2026 from $197 thousand for the first quarter. The corresponding mortgage commission expense increased to $255 thousand from $145 thousand. Because a substantial portion of mortgage commission expense varies directly with mortgage production and commission revenue, the increase in commission expense should be considered together with the related increase in mortgage commission income. Mortgage commission income, net of directly related commission expense, increased to approximately $98 thousand for the second quarter from approximately $52 thousand for the first quarter.
Linked-quarter expense increase was concentrated in compensation and variable mortgage commissions, while the monthly expense trend improved during the quarter. Total noninterest expense increased $187 thousand to $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2026 from $3.3 million for the first quarter. The increase primarily reflected the addition of two commercial lenders to support the Bank’s Annapolis Loan Production Office, higher variable mortgage commissions associated with increased mortgage banking revenue, and the timing of payroll taxes and employee benefit expenses. Excluding compensation, benefits and mortgage commission expense, all other noninterest expenses declined approximately $104 thousand linked quarter. Monthly noninterest expense also declined as the quarter progressed, with June returning to approximately the preceding 12-month monthly average.
Deposit growth and funding flexibility. Retail deposits increased $4.8 million, or 1.4%, during the second quarter to $343.2 million at June 30, 2026. Total deposits were $357.0 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $357.5 million at March 31, 2026 and $332.4 million at December 31, 2025. Because loan growth exceeded retail deposit growth, wholesale funding increased to $28.2 million at June 30, 2026 from $19.1 million at March 31, 2026. Wholesale funding represented approximately 7.1% of total assets at June 30, 2026.
Sufficient liquidity. At June 30, 2026, the Bank maintained approximately $58.5 million of cash and unencumbered investment securities. The Bank also had access to approximately $83.4 million of available secured and unsecured borrowing capacity. Total on- and off-balance-sheet liquidity was approximately $141.9 million, or 35.9% of total assets.
Regulatory capital. The Bank’s regulatory capital ratios remained above regulatory minimums at June 30, 2026. The Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 Capital and Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratios were 11.95%, and its Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 13.10%. The Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.79% at June 30, 2026.
Operating Results
Net interest income modestly increased $13 thousand to $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter. Compared to the second quarter of 2025, net interest income increased $243 thousand, or 8.9%.
Total interest income increased $74 thousand compared to linked quarter and $462 thousand, or 11.9%, from the second quarter of 2025. Interest and fees on loans were unchanged linked quarter at $3.5 million despite a $14.8 million increase in average loan balances. The benefit of higher average loan balances and the additional day in the second quarter was offset by $167 thousand of loan-interest income recognized in the first quarter that did not recur in the second quarter, together with increased premium acceleration associated with prepayments in the purchased automobile loan portfolio.
Interest and dividends on securities increased $43 thousand linked quarter, while interest on deposits with banks and federal funds sold increased $33 thousand. These increases reflected the timing of income recognition on certain investment securities, Federal Reserve Bank balances and FHLB stock.
Total interest expense increased $61 thousand to $1.4 million for the second quarter from $1.3 million for the first quarter. The increase primarily reflected the additional day in the quarter and higher average certificate-of-deposit balances and rates. These factors were partially offset by a lower cost on money market accounts. The Company's overall cost of funds remained unchanged linked quarter at 1.52%.
Noninterest income increased $169 thousand to $584 thousand for the second quarter of 2026 from $415 thousand for the first quarter and increased $364 thousand from the second quarter of 2025. The linked-quarter increase was principally attributable to a $156 thousand increase in mortgage commission income from VA Wholesale Mortgage.
Noninterest expense increased $187 thousand to $3.4 million for the second quarter from $3.3 million for the first quarter. Compensation, employee benefits and mortgage commission expense increased $291 thousand, while all other noninterest expenses declined approximately $104 thousand. The compensation-related increase reflected the addition of two commercial lenders supporting the Annapolis LPO, variable mortgage commissions associated with higher mortgage revenue and the timing of payroll taxes and benefits.
The efficiency ratio was 96.7% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 96.4% for the first quarter of 2026 and 110.0% for the second quarter of 2025. The net operating expense ratio improved to 3.00% from 3.12% linked quarter and 3.41% for the second quarter of 2025. While the year-over-year improvement is encouraging, both measures remain above management’s longer-term objectives and indicate that the Company has not yet achieved the operating leverage necessary to produce acceptable returns. Management remains focused on scalable operating solutions, disciplined expense management and generating sufficient revenue growth to spread the Company’s operating costs across a larger earning-asset base. Management will also continue to evaluate additional opportunities to improve efficiency without limiting the Bank’s ability to support customers, manage risk and execute its growth strategy.
Pre-tax pre-provision income was $117 thousand for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $122 thousand for the first quarter and a pre-tax pre-provision loss of $296 thousand for the second quarter of 2025. The essentially unchanged linked-quarter result reflected the offsetting effects of balance-sheet and revenue growth, lower reported automobile loan yields and compensation-related investments. Although pre-tax pre-provision performance has improved significantly from the prior year, management recognizes that additional revenue growth and operating leverage are needed to produce sustainable profitability and acceptable returns.
Balance Sheet and Funding
Total assets increased to $395.0 million at June 30, 2026 from $380.5 million at March 31, 2026 and $359.9 million at December 31, 2025. The linked-quarter increase was primarily attributable to loan growth, partially offset by lower cash and cash-equivalent balances.
Total loans increased to $267.6 million at June 30, 2026 from $242.6 million at March 31, 2026 and $231.2 million at December 31, 2025. Average loans increased 6.3% linked quarter to $250.9 million from $236.1 million. Period-end loans exceeded second-quarter average loans by approximately $16.7 million. To the extent these balances are maintained, the higher ending loan balance should provide a favorable starting point for third-quarter loan-interest income because the second quarter did not include a full quarter of income on loans originated or purchased throughout the period.
Retail deposits increased to $343.2 million from $338.4 million during the second quarter, while brokered deposits declined to $13.7 million from $19.1 million. Short-term borrowings totaled $14.5 million at June 30, 2026.Total deposits were $357.0 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $357.5 million at March 31, 2026 and $332.4 million at December 31, 2025.
Because loan growth exceeded retail deposit growth, total wholesale funding, consisting of brokered deposits and borrowings, increased to $28.2 million at June 30, 2026 from $19.1 million at March 31, 2026. Wholesale funding increased to 7.1% of total assets from 5.0% at March 31, 2026. The loan-to-deposit ratio increased to approximately 75.0% from 67.8% over the same period. Although the Company used additional wholesale funding and existing liquidity to support loan growth, management believes the Bank continues to maintain substantial liquidity and funding flexibility.
Asset Quality
Asset quality remained stable during the second quarter. Nonperforming loans totaled approximately $669 thousand, or 0.25% of total loans, at June 30, 2026, compared to $662 thousand, or 0.27% of total loans, at March 31, 2026.
Net charge-offs were $108 thousand during the second quarter of 2026, compared to $54 thousand during the first quarter and $45 thousand during the second quarter of 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net charge-offs were $162 thousand, compared to $49 thousand for the first six months of 2025. Annualized net charge-offs represented approximately 0.13% and 0.05% of average loans for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The allowance for credit losses increased to $3.2 million, or 1.18% of total loans, at June 30, 2026 from $2.8 million at March 31, 2026. Management believes the increase in the allowance and provision expense primarily reflected loan growth and changes in unfunded commitments, rather than deterioration in credit quality.
Capital Position
Stockholders' equity increased to $21.3 million at June 30, 2026 from $21.0 million at March 31, 2026 and $18.9 million at June 30, 2025. The linked-quarter increase primarily reflected an improvement in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the market value of available-for-sale securities, partially offset by the second-quarter net loss.
The Bank's regulatory capital ratios remained above regulatory minimum requirements at June 30, 2026. Continued balance-sheet growth, together with limited current earnings retention, has increased the importance of disciplined capital planning. Management continues to evaluate capital alternatives intended to support prudent growth, maintain appropriate capital cushions and improve long-term shareholder returns.
Results for the second quarter of 2026 reflected continued execution of the Company’s balance-sheet optimization and growth strategy. During the quarter, the Company generated strong loan growth, maintained stable asset quality and underlying net interest margin performance, increased mortgage banking revenue and continued investing in commercial relationship development. Management remains focused on converting this growth into sustainable earnings, improving operating leverage and maintaining appropriate liquidity and capital levels.

“Landmark’s strong second quarter results reflected record revenue of more than $19 million, solid earnings performance, and continued improvement in profitability,” said Abby Wendel, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our continued revenue growth demonstrates the strength of our relationship-based banking model, disciplined pricing strategies, and prudent balance sheet management.”
Ms. Wendel continued, “We were pleased to see loan growth accelerate during the second quarter, especially across all areas of our commercial and agricultural-related loan portfolios, driven by our team’s focus on attracting new clients while deepening relationships with existing clients. And while nonperforming loans, which increased during the quarter, remain higher than we would like, we are making steady progress improving the overall portfolio quality through proactive management and the resolution of credits that no longer align with our credit risk profile. Strong capital generation continues to strengthen our balance sheet which supports ongoing investments in talent, technology and facilities to enhance the customer and associate experience.”

Landmark’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.21 per share, to be paid August 27, 2026, to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 13, 2026.

SUMMARY OF SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income in the second quarter of 2026 totaled $15.1 million, representing an increase of $57,000, or 0.4%, compared to the prior quarter and an increase of $1.4 million, or 10.2%, compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in net interest income this quarter compared to both the prior quarter and the second quarter of 2025 was driven by higher rates on investments despite lower average balances, coupled with lower interest expense on deposits and other borrowings which more than offset a slight decrease in loan yields. The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2026 was 4.22%, a decrease of two basis points from 4.24% during the prior quarter and an increase of 39 basis points from 3.83% during the second quarter of the prior year. The average tax-equivalent yield on the investment securities portfolio grew to 3.66%, compared to 3.55% in the prior quarter and 3.34% in the second quarter of 2025 as lower-rate securities matured during the quarter. The average tax-equivalent yield on the loan portfolio declined nine basis points as compared to the prior quarter and decreased six basis points as compared to the second quarter of the prior year.
Compared to the first quarter of 2026, interest on deposits decreased $262,000, or 5.7%, due to lower rates, coupled with decreased average balances as brokered deposits declined. Interest on other borrowed funds increased $208,000 from the first quarter of 2026, driven by higher average balances, partially offset by a decrease in rates. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits decreased eight basis points from the prior quarter, to 1.82%, primarily due to lower rates on certificates of deposit. The average rate on other borrowed funds decreased 31 basis points to 4.54% in the second quarter of 2026, offset by an increase in average balances in borrowings from the FHLB.
Compared to the second quarter of 2025, interest on deposits decreased $795,000, or 15.5%, due to lower rates, coupled with decreased average balances. Interest on other borrowed funds decreased $449,000 from the second quarter of the prior year, due to lower rates and average balances. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits decreased 32 basis points from the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower rates on money market and checking accounts and certificates of deposit. The average rate on other borrowed funds decreased 44 basis points as compared to the second quarter of 2025.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $331,000 from the prior quarter and an increase of $469,000 from the same quarter in the prior year. The increase in non-interest income as compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase of $356,000 in gains on the sale of loans due to an increase in the volume of loans sold in the secondary market.
The increase in non-interest income as compared to the second quarter of the prior year was primarily due to an increase of $501,000 in gains on the sale of loans due to an increase in the volume of loans sold in the secondary market.
Non-Interest Expense
During the second quarter of 2026, non-interest expense totaled $12.0 million, an increase of $63,000, or 0.5%, compared to the prior quarter and an increase of $1.0 million, or 9.1%, compared to the same period in the prior year. Compared to the prior quarter, the increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increases of $487,000 in professional fees and $246,000 in compensation and benefits expense. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $364,000 in other expense and $243,000 in occupancy and equipment expense. The increase in professional fees was attributable to $270,000 in one-time forensic accounting and legal costs related to previously disclosed fraudulent activity by a non-executive officer of the bank, coupled with an increase in consulting expenses for talent recruitment and development, and internal audit co-sourcing. The increase in compensation and benefits was attributable to higher incentive compensation expense in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in other expense was primarily due to $433,000 of fraud losses related to fraudulent activity by a non-executive officer of the bank, which was identified during the first quarter. The decrease in occupancy and equipment expense was related to expenses incurred to upgrade our core branch operation systems during the first quarter of 2026.
Compared to the second quarter of 2025, the increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increases of $711,000 in professional fees and $335,000 in compensation and benefits. The increase in professional fees was attributable to $270,000 in one-time forensic accounting and legal costs related to previously disclosed fraudulent activity as outlined above, coupled with an increase in consulting expenses for talent recruitment and development, and internal audit co-sourcing. The increase in compensation and benefits was attributable to an increase in the number of employees in the current year, coupled with higher benefits expense as compared to the prior year.
Income Tax Expense
Landmark recorded income tax expense of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $1.3 million in the prior quarter, and $944,000 in the second quarter of 2025. The effective tax rate was 19.7% in the second quarter of 2026, compared to 19.8% in the prior quarter and 17.7% in the second quarter of 2025.
Balance Sheet Highlights
As of June 30, 2026, gross period-end loans totaled $1.1 billion, an increase of $3.3 million from the prior quarter, while average loans declined $3.2 million. The increase in period-end loans was primarily driven by higher construction and land loans (growth of $4.5 million), commercial loans (growth of $1.5 million) and agriculture loans (growth of $1.5 million), offset by a decline in one-to-four family residential real estate loans (decline of $4.0 million). Investment securities available-for-sale decreased $1.3 million during the second quarter of 2026, primarily due to maturities occurring during the quarter.
Period-end deposit balances decreased $17.7 million to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2026, an annualized decrease of 5.4% compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in deposits was driven primarily by a decline in brokered deposits and more specifically by decreases in certificates of deposit and savings accounts of $33.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by increases in non-interest-bearing demand deposits ($12.8 million increase) and money market and checking accounts ($6.7 million increase). Total period-end borrowings increased $15.7 million during the second quarter of 2026. At June 30, 2026, the loan to deposits ratio was 83.5%, compared to 82.1% in the prior quarter.
Stockholders’ equity increased to $166.9 million (book value of $27.35 per share) as of June 30, 2026, from $161.6 million (book value of $26.50 per share) as of March 31, 2026. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily due to net earnings for the quarter net of dividends paid, coupled with a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive losses (lower unrealized net losses on investment securities).

The allowance for credit losses totaled $12.7 million, or 1.15% of total gross loans, as of June 30, 2026, compared to $12.6 million, or 1.15% of total gross loans, as of March 31, 2026. Net loan charge-offs totaled $452,000 in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $349,000 during the first quarter of 2026 and $40,000 in the second quarter of the prior year.

Non-performing loans totaled $13.1 million, or 1.18% of gross loans, at June 30, 2026, compared to $10.4 million, or 0.94% of gross loans, at March 31, 2026.

Loan originations totaled $1.6 billion, compared to $1.7 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and $1.5 billion for the second quarter of the prior yearNet interest income was $28.7 million, compared to $28.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and $14.7 million for the second quarter of the prior yearNet income was $2.1 million, compared to $2.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and $4.1 million for the second quarter of the prior yearDiluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were $0.15 for the quarter, compared to $0.20 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and $0.29 for the second quarter of the prior yearEfficiency ratio1 was 53.1%, compared to 66.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and 59.5% for the second quarter of the prior yearNonperforming loan balances were $37.7 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $49.8 million as of March 31, 2026, and $39.7 million as of June 30, 2025. Nonperforming loan balances guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) were $19.0 million, $26.7 million, and $21.2 million as of June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2025, respectively “Our second quarter earnings of $0.15 per share were short of our expectations driven by higher provision expense on the loans where we retain credit risk. The higher provision resulted primarily from losses incurred on sale of property collateralizing, and increased reserves on, classified loans. We will continue to empower our credit and compliance teams to identify and prune risk proactively as they did this quarter, reducing our non-performing loan balance by $12.1 million from $49.8 million last quarter to $37.7 million this quarter,” said Jim Noone, CEO of FinWise Bancorp.
"While we are actively managing risk in the portfolio, the business continues to make solid progress. We delivered $1.6 billion in originations from an increasingly diversified partner base. Tangible book value per share grew to $14.55 and we signed a new strategic program with a well-established prepaid card provider that will use a combination of our BIN Sponsorship and MoneyRails services. Our sales pipeline today is materially stronger, and potentially more meaningful to our bottom line. And our recently announced acquisition of the Tallied Technologies platform makes FinWise more competitive for new partners that require a broad product offering. Taken together, FinWise remains well-positioned for sustained growth and firmly focused on translating that strength and momentum into lasting value for our shareholders.”

This non-GAAP measure reflects the portion of credit loss provision that is not covered by strategic partners with credit enhancement and therefore represents the Company’s provision expense for the credit exposure retained by the Company. See “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of this measure to its most comparable GAAP measure.(2)FinWise uses the two-class method to calculate basic and diluted EPS as restricted stock awards are considered participating securities due to the dividend rights associated with those awards. Effective December 31, 2025, executive management elected to waive the dividend rights on their unvested restricted stock awards, and this waiver extends to restricted stock awards granted in 2026 to directors and various other employees. As a result, these unvested shares are no longer treated as participating securities and are excluded from the two-class method calculation of EPS. The impact on basic and diluted earnings per share was de minimis, and previously reported periods are not affected.(3)Annualized for the respective three-month periods.(4)Efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. The efficiency ratio is defined as total non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income. The Company believes this measure is important as an indicator of productivity because it shows the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent. See “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of this measure to its most comparable GAAP measure.(5)Tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible shareholders’ equity is defined as total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total shareholder’s equity to total assets. The Company had no goodwill or other intangible assets at the end of any period indicated. The Company has not considered loan servicing rights or loan trailing fee assets as intangible assets for purposes of this calculation. As a result, tangible shareholders’ equity is the same as total shareholders’ equity at the end of each of the periods indicated. Loan Originations
Loan originations totaled $1.6 billion for the second quarter of 2026, a decrease from the $1.7 billion recorded in the prior quarter and an increase from the $1.5 billion recorded in the prior year period. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily driven by seasonally lower origination volume in the student loan program, partially offset by continued growth in several of the Company's other established programs. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by this same growth across established programs. Consistent with the change in originations, average balances of loans held for sale and held for investment decreased slightly compared to the prior quarter, but increased compared to the prior-year period.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income was $28.7 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $28.1 million for the prior quarter and $14.7 million for the prior year period. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to growth in the credit-enhanced loan portfolio and a decrease in the migration of performing loans to nonperforming loans, which resulted in a lower reversal of interest on nonaccrual loans and contributed to an increase in the average yield on loans held-for-investment. These increases were partially offset by a decline in average balances within held for investment portfolio. The increase from the prior year period was primarily due to the increase in the credit enhanced loans and a change in estimate, based on additional information and experience, on the allocation of interest received on credit enhanced loans in excess of the amount FinWise retains. FinWise now estimates that all excess interest is attributable to servicing and credit guarantee expense, whereas in the prior year it had been estimated that a portion was attributable to origination costs, or finders' fees, and was reported in net interest income.
Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2026 was 13.69%, compared to 12.90% for the prior quarter and 7.81% for the prior year period. The increase in net interest margin from the prior quarter results from the growth in the credit-enhanced loan portfolio, a decrease in nonaccrual loans, and a decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in net interest margin from the prior-year period results from growth in the higher yielding credit-enhanced portfolio average balance and higher yields on loans held for investment, the change in estimated allocation of excess interest as previously described, and slightly lower rates paid on deposits.
Provision for Credit Losses

6/30/2025Provision for credit losses: Strategic Program loans - with credit enhancement(1)$16,678 $5,864 $2,275 Strategic Program loans - without credit enhancement 1,995 1,886 2,212 All other loans (core portfolio) 3,880 2,816 309 Provision for credit losses on loans 22,553 10,566 4,796 Provision for unfunded commitments 124 15 (70)Total provision for credit losses$22,677 $10,581 $4,726 (1)For credit enhanced loans, fintech partners are required to maintain a deposit account at FinWise, which is used to recover charge-offs. The provision for credit losses on these loans differs from the core portfolio, as it is fully offset by expected recoveries under the partner guarantee, which is recognized as credit enhancement income in non-interest income. The Company’s provision for credit losses was $22.7 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $10.6 million for the prior quarter and $4.7 million for the prior year period. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to growth in the credit-enhanced loan programs and increased provisioning in the core loan portfolio as the Company recognized losses in liquidating, and increased reserves on, non-performing loans and classified other loans. The Company has also adopted more conservative servicing and administrative standards for the SBA and commercial real estate products specific to those characteristics identified as common to many of the loans migrating to non-performing status over the past 18 months. This change has accelerated the classification of nonperforming loans and provisioning for loans with those identified characteristics. The year-over-year increase in the Strategic Program loans with credit enhancement provision was primarily related to growth in the credit-enhanced portfolio.
Non-interest Income
Three Months Ended($ in thousands)6/30/2026 3/31/2026 6/30/2025Non-interest income Strategic Program fees$5,310 $5,702 $5,404 Gain on sale of loans 1,480 1,452 1,483 SBA loan servicing fees, net 80 158 (96)Change in fair value on investment in BFG (200) (200) 300 Interchange income 679 703 — Credit enhancement income 16,678 5,864 2,275 Other miscellaneous income 1,567 948 971 Total non-interest income$25,594 $14,627 $10,337
The increase in non-interest income from the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in credit enhancement income, which corresponds to the provision for credit losses on credit-enhanced loans and increased for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. In addition, the Company prevailed in litigation with an offboarded strategic partner, which resulted in an increase in miscellaneous income of $0.5 million.
The increase in non-interest income compared to the prior-year period was primarily due to an increase in credit enhancement income, driven by growth in credit-enhanced loan balances. The increase was also attributable to interchange income, a new revenue stream during the period, as well as the increase in other miscellaneous income as previously described. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in BFG investment fair value.
Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense Salaries and employee benefits$11,062 $11,038 $10,491 Professional services 1,146 880 949 Occupancy and equipment expenses 417 425 445 Credit enhancement servicing expense 1,512 2,429 11 Credit enhancement guarantee expense 11,774 10,098 78 Other operating expenses 2,951 3,468 2,938 Total non-interest expense$28,862 $28,338 $14,912
The increase in non-interest expense from the prior quarter resulted primarily from increases in credit enhancement guarantee and servicing expenses largely resulting from an increase in interest income attributable to the credit enhanced loan portfolio. Excluding the credit enhancement related expenses, non-interest expense declined $0.2 million.
The increase in non-interest expense from the prior year period was primarily due to an increase in credit enhancement guarantee and servicing expenses resulting from growth in credit enhanced loans and salaries and employee benefits principally from increased headcount.
FinWise’s efficiency ratio was 53.1% for the second quarter, compared to 66.3% for the prior quarter and 59.5% for the prior year period. We expect the efficiency ratio to continue to improve as we realize increased revenues from interest earned on our growing credit enhanced loan balances.
Tax Rate
The Company’s effective tax rate was 24.0% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 28.0% for the prior quarter and 24.5% for the prior year period. The decrease from the prior quarter and prior year period was principally due to the apportionment of income between states with various tax rates.
Net Income
Net income was $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $2.7 million for the prior quarter and $4.1 million for the prior year period. The changes in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the prior quarter and prior year period are generally the result of the factors discussed in the foregoing sections.
Balance Sheet
The Company’s total assets were $925.3 million as of June 30, 2026, an increase from $899.4 million as of March 31, 2026 and an increase from $842.5 million as of June 30, 2025. The increase in total assets from March 31, 2026 was primarily due to increases in the Company’s credit enhancement loans of $11.7 million, credit enhancement asset of $8.5 million, and loans held-for-sale portfolio of $41.3 million. These increases were offset in part by a decrease in loans held-for-investment (excluding the credit enhanced loans) of $26.9 million and an increase in the allowance for credit loss of $9.5 million. The increase in total assets compared to June 30, 2025 was primarily due to increases in the Company’s credit enhancement loans of $109.1 million, credit enhancement asset of $29.4 million, and loans held-for-sale portfolio of $27.9 million. These increases were offset in part by a decrease in loans held-for-investment (excluding the credit enhanced loans) of $69.9 million and an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $31.2 million.
The following table provides the composition and gross balances of loans held-for-investment (“HFI”) as of the dates indicated:

Note: SBA loans as of June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025 include $66.1 million, $95.1 million and $144.3 million, respectively, of SBA 7(a) loan balances that are guaranteed by the SBA.
Total gross loans HFI as of June 30, 2026 decreased $12.9 million and increased $41.3 million compared to March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. The declines in the SBA portfolio resulted primarily from sales of the guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans and increased charge-offs, reflecting ongoing portfolio and credit risk management. The credit enhanced portfolio of the Strategic Program loans as of June 30, 2026 increased $11.7 million and $109.1 million compared to March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively, reflecting our 2025 strategic initiative to develop the credit enhanced portfolio.
The following table presents the Company’s deposit composition as of the dates indicated:

The increase in total deposits as of June 30, 2026 from March 31, 2026 was primarily due to growth in interest-bearing demand deposits and time certificates of deposit, partially offset by a decrease in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, reflecting a shift in customer/partner balances toward interest-bearing products. Time certificates of deposit balances grew primarily during the latter part of the second quarter, which contributed to the period-end increase, while average time certificates of deposit balances for the quarter declined compared to the prior quarter, as reflected in the average balance table. The increase in total deposits as of June 30, 2026 from June 30, 2025 was primarily driven by growth in interest-bearing demand deposits and time certificates of deposit, which were utilized to fund loan growth and enhance the Company's liquidity profile.
Total shareholders’ equity as of June 30, 2026 increased $2.6 million to $199.2 million from $196.6 million at March 31, 2026. Compared to June 30, 2025, total shareholders’ equity increased by $17.2 million from $182.0 million. The increases from March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025 were primarily due to net income generated throughout the respective periods.
Bank Regulatory Capital Ratios
The following table presents the leverage ratios for the Bank as of the dates indicated as determined under the Community Bank Leverage Ratio Framework of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation:
As of Capital Ratios6/30/2026 3/31/2026 6/30/2025 Well-Capitalized RequirementLeverage ratio18.1% 16.8% 18.0% 9.0%
The increase in the leverage ratio from the prior quarter was primarily due to growth in capital from earnings exceeding the relative growth in average asset balances. The slight increase from the prior year period resulted primarily from growth in capital from earnings exceeding the relative growth in the loan portfolio and average assets. The Bank’s capital levels as of June 30, 2026 remain sufficiently above the regulatory well-capitalized guidelines as of June 30, 2026.
Share Repurchase Program
As of June 30, 2026, the Company has repurchased a total of 29,736 shares for $0.4 million under the Company’s share repurchase program announced in May 2026, which provides for the purchase of up to 685,000 of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares, from time to time, on or before the program's expiration date, in the open market, in privately-negotiated transactions, or otherwise, subject to applicable laws and regulations.
Asset Quality
The recorded balances of nonperforming loans were $37.7 million, or 6.6% of total loans held-for-investment, as of June 30, 2026, compared to $49.8 million, or 8.5% of total loans held-for-investment, as of March 31, 2026 and $39.7 million, or 7.5% of total loans held-for-investment, as of June 30, 2025. The balances of nonperforming loans guaranteed by the SBA were $19.0 million, $26.7 million, and $21.2 million as of June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. The decrease in nonperforming loans from the prior quarter and prior year period was primarily attributable to an increase in the sales of real property collateralizing the nonperforming SBA 7(a) and commercial real estate and the resulting paydown of the loan balance. The Company’s allowance for credit losses to total loans held-for-investment was 8.3% as of June 30, 2026 compared to 6.5% as of March 31, 2026 and 3.1% as of June 30, 2025. The increase in the ratio from the prior quarter and prior year period was primarily due to the provision for credit losses related to the growth of the credit enhanced loan balances.
The Company’s net charge-offs were $13.1 million, $9.4 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2025, respectively. The increase in net charge-offs from the prior quarter and the second quarter of 2025 resulted primarily from higher net charge-offs associated with credit enhanced strategic program loans as that program increased in size and matured. FinWise is reimbursed in full for the losses on the credit enhanced loan portfolio. Charge-offs for the traditional bank portfolio totaled $3.3 million in the second quarter compared to $2.3 million in the prior quarter and $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. Charge-offs increased compared to the prior quarter and year reflecting resolution of specific loans, particularly in the strategic programs loans that are credit enhanced and the retained portion of the SBA 7(a) loans.

Recent Acquisition
On July 20, 2026, the Company acquired the technology platform and related assets of Tallied Technologies, Inc., the credit card issuance and processing platform that has powered the Bank's co-branded credit card programs. With this acquisition, the Company now owns its card technology stack end-to-end, from application, through issuing, processing and servicing. FinWise expects integration and transition costs of approximately $4.0 million in total over the next year (amount excludes amortization of acquired assets) with costs tapering over the period. The transaction results in the credit card receivable being reclassified from credit enhancement assets to credit card loan receivable beginning in the third quarter of 2026 as FinWise retains the credit risk while capturing additional interchange and fees subsequent to the transaction.

FinWise has entered into agreements with certain of its Strategic Program service providers pursuant to which they provide credit enhancement on loans which protects the Bank by indemnifying or reimbursing the Bank for incurred credit and fraud losses. We estimate and record a provision for expected losses for these Strategic Program loans in accordance with GAAP, which requires estimation of the provision without consideration of the credit enhancement. When the provision for expected losses over the life of the loans that are subject to such credit enhancement is recorded, a credit enhancement asset reflecting the future recovery of those estimated credit losses pursuant to the strategic partner’s guarantee to assume the Bank’s credit losses on each of the loans in the respective guaranteed portfolio is also recorded on the balance sheet in the form of non-interest income (credit enhancement income). Reimbursement or indemnification for incurred losses is provided for in the form of a deposit reserve account that is replenished periodically by the respective Strategic Program service provider. The credit enhancement asset is reduced as credit enhancement payments and recoveries are received from the Strategic Program service provider or taken from its cash reserve account. If the Strategic Program service provider is unable to fulfill its contracted obligations under its credit enhancement agreement, then the Bank could be exposed to the loss of the reimbursement and credit enhancement income as a result of this counterparty risk. In the event the Strategic Program service provider is not able to perform according to the contractual terms, the Bank is entitled to receive all the income on the loans. The Bank incurs expenses for the amounts owed to the strategic partner for the credit guarantee and for servicing of the credit enhanced portfolio, if applicable (credit enhancement program expenses). See the following reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures for the impact of the credit enhancement on our financial condition and results. Note that these amounts are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures.

Income Statement
Net interest income increased $339,000, or 5.0%, to $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $6.8 million for the first quarter of 2026 due to the increase in interest income of $459,000, offset partially by an increase in interest expense of $120,000. Interest income increased from the increase of average interest earning assets of $11.0 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2026. Net interest income increased $1.1 million, or 17.3%, compared to the second quarter ended 2025. Net interest income was impacted by the reduction of the federal funds rate of 75 basis points ("bps") in the latter half of 2025, reducing variable rate loans and new loan origination pricing. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company had average variable loans of $98.7 million.
Net interest margin ("NIM") increased nine bps to 4.29% during second quarter of 2026 from 4.20% during the first quarter of 2026 due to an increase in loan yields of 10 bps, offset partially by the increase in cost of total deposit of 4 bps. NIM increased 27 bps compared to 4.02% during the second quarter of 2025 due to the combination of a decrease in total cost of deposits of 16 bps and an increase in yield on loans of 14 bps.
Interest income on loans increased $549,000, or 7.0%, during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2026 due primarily to an increase in average balances of $21.7 million. Interest income on loans increased $1.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2025 due to an increase in the average balance of loans of $57.0 million. The yield on net loans increased 9 bps to 6.25% for the second quarter of 2026 from 6.16% for the first quarter of 2026 due to higher yields on new loan originations and renewals, and higher repricing rates on the adjustable portfolio. Additionally, the Bank experienced elevated prepayment penalties during the second quarter of 2026 resulting in increase in loan yield of 4 bps.
Interest income on investments decreased $207,000 during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 due to a decrease in average balances of $13.1 million due primarily to principal payments, including the early redemption of a security with significantly higher yield. In addition, the Bank experienced negative interest impacts of its interest rate swap given the lower rate environment during the second quarter of 2026 compared to 2025.
Interest expense on deposits increased $107,000, or 5.1%, during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2026 due to an increase in average balance of $2.0 million, offset by a decrease in exception pricing rates. Total cost of deposits increased 4 bps to 1.37% for second quarter of 2026 compared to 1.33% for the first quarter of 2026. Total cost of deposits decreased 16 bps compared to 1.53% for the second quarter of 2025. Noninterest bearing demand deposits represent 30.2% of total deposits at June 30, 2026 compared to 30.4% at March 31, 2026.
Total non-interest income decreased $148,000, or 25.0%, during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 due to recognition of interest rate swaps of $188,000 during 2025. There were no swap fees recognized during the second quarter of 2026.
Total non-interest expense increased $75,000, or 1.5%, during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2026 due to an increase in total compensation, primarily related to the newly hired teams. Total non-interest expense increased $640,000 compared to the second quarter of 2025 due primarily to an increase in compensation and employee benefits related to employee merit increases, additional stock compensation expense from newly granted awards, payroll taxes, and the newly hired teams.
Income tax expense increased $50,000 during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2026 due primarily to an increase in net income. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2026 was 17.6% compared to 16.9% during the first quarter of 2026 and 19.4% for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in effective rate compared to 2025 related to a significant increase in tax-exempt loans proportionately to net income during 2026.

HOQUIAM, Wash., July 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Timberland Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSBK) (“Timberland” or “the Company”), the holding company for Timberland Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $7.72 million, or $0.98 per diluted common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. This compares to net income of $7.10 million, or $0.90 per diluted common share for the comparable quarter one year ago, and $7.13 million, or $0.90 per diluted common share, for the preceding quarter.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2026, Timberland’s net income increased 11% to $23.07 million, or $2.92 per diluted common share, from $20.72 million, or $2.60 per diluted common share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2025.
“Timberland delivered another strong quarter, with net income and earnings per share up 8% and 9%, respectively, from the prior quarter, and up 9% from the year ago quarter,” stated Dean Brydon, Chief Executive Officer. “Net interest margin expanded, loan growth was solid, and most of our income-related ratios compared favorably with both the linked-quarter and year-over-year. We remain encouraged by our business model and believe we are well positioned as we head into the end of our fiscal year.”
“As a result of Timberland’s strong earnings and capital position, our Board of Directors announced a 3% increase to the quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.30 per share, payable on August 24, 2026, to shareholders of record on August 10, 2026,” stated Jonathan Fischer, President and Chief Operating Officer. “This represents the 55th consecutive quarter Timberland will have paid a cash dividend and demonstrates the Board’s continued confidence in our long-term outlook.”
“Overall, this was a relatively clean quarter from an earnings standpoint, with minimal non-recurring items impacting results,” said Marci Basich, Chief Financial Officer. “Net interest margin improved this quarter, up four basis points after a modest decline last quarter and improved five basis points year-over-year. Our balance sheet positioning and proactive deposit pricing strategies continue to help mitigate the headwinds of the current interest rate environment. On the deposit side, total deposits grew 1% from the prior quarter and 6% year over year. Maintaining a disciplined funding mix and stable margin will remain a top priority going forward.”
“Net loans were up 3% from the prior quarter and 4% year-over-year,” Brydon continued. “Even with a shifting rate environment, demand across our lending categories has remained healthy. Credit quality held steady with modest improvements in non-performing asset levels, delinquency levels, and substandard loan levels. Our markets continue to offer solid growth opportunities, and we remain confident in the quality of our loan portfolio and our disciplined approach to credit risk management.”

Operating Results
Operating revenue (net interest income before the provision for credit losses plus non-interest income) for the current quarter increased 4% to $21.79 million from $21.05 million for the preceding quarter and increased 6% from $20.50 million for the comparable quarter one year ago. The increase in operating revenue compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to an increase in interest income on loans receivable, and to a lesser extent, an increase in non-interest income, which was partially offset by an increase in interest expense on deposits. Operating revenue increased 7%, to $64.56 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2026 from $60.06 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2025, primarily due to increases in interest income on loans receivable, interest income on interest-bearing deposits in banks, and non-interest income which were partially offset by a decrease in interest income from investments securities.
Net interest income increased $562,000, or 3%, to $18.81 million for the current quarter from $18.24 million for the preceding quarter and increased $1.18 million, or 7%, from $17.62 million for the comparable quarter one year ago. The increase in net interest income compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to a $14.62 million increase in the average interest-earning assets, a five-basis point increase in the weighted average yield on interest-bearing assets and, to a lesser extent, a two-basis point decrease in the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income for the first nine months of fiscal 2026 increased $4.19 million, or 8%, to $56.00 million from $51.81 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2025, primarily due to a $99.58 million increase in average interest-earning assets and a 15-basis point decrease in the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
Timberland’s NIM for the current quarter increased to 3.85% from 3.81% for the preceding quarter and from 3.80% for the comparable quarter one year ago. The NIM for the current quarter was increased by approximately two basis points due to the collection of $82,000 in pre-payment penalties, non-accrual interest, and late fees, and the accretion of $8,000 of the fair value discount on acquired loans. The NIM for the preceding quarter was increased by approximately one basis point due to the collection of $38,000 in pre-payment penalties, non-accrual interest, and late fees, and the accretion of $10,000 of the fair value discount on acquired loans. The NIM for the comparable quarter one year ago was increased by approximately four basis points due to the collection of $102,000 in pre-payment penalties, non-accrual interest, and late fees, and the accretion of $68,000 of the fair value discount on acquired loans. Timberland’s NIM expanded to 3.84% for the first nine months of fiscal 2026 from 3.74% for the first nine months of fiscal 2025.
A $600,000 provision for credit losses on loans was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The provision was primarily due to loan portfolio growth and changes in the composition of the loan portfolio. This compares to a $523,000 provision for credit losses on loans for the preceding quarter and a $351,000 provision for credit losses on loans for the comparable quarter one year ago.
Non-interest income increased $181,000, or 6%, to $2.99 million for the current quarter from $2.81 million for the preceding quarter and increased $113,000, or 4%, from $2.88 million for the comparable quarter one year ago. The increase in non-interest income compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to a $91,000 increase in BOLI net earnings, a $62,000 increase in ATM and debit card interchange fees and smaller increases in several other categories. These increases were partially offset by an $86,000 decrease in net gain on sales of loans. Fiscal year-to-date non-interest income increased by 4%, to $8.56 from $8.26 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2025.
Total operating (non-interest) expenses for the current quarter decreased $21,000, or less than 1%, to $11.64 million from $11.66 million for the preceding quarter and increased $471,000, or 4%, from $11.17 million for the comparable quarter one year ago. The slight decrease in operating expenses compared to the preceding quarter was primarily due to decreases in salary and employee benefits expense and technology and communications expense and smaller decreases and increases in several other expense categories. The efficiency ratio for the current quarter improved to 53.40% from 55.38% for the preceding quarter and 54.48% for the comparable quarter one year ago. Fiscal year-to-date operating expenses increased 4% to $34.73 million from $33.43 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2025.
The provision for income taxes for the current quarter increased $190,000, or 11%, to $1.93 million from $1.74 million for the preceding quarter, primarily due to higher taxable income. Timberland’s effective income tax rate was 20.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to 19.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and 20.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Timberland’s effective income tax rate was 20.0% for the first nine months of fiscal 2026 compared to 20.1% for the first nine months of fiscal 2025.
Balance Sheet Management
Total assets increased $14.44 million, or 1%, during the quarter to $2.06 billion at June 30, 2026, from $2.05 billion at March 31, 2026, and increased $103.63 million, or 5%, from $1.96 billion one year ago. The increase during the quarter was primarily due to increases in net loans receivable and bank owned life insurance, which were partially offset by a decrease in total cash and cash equivalents.
Liquidity
Timberland has continued to maintain a strong liquidity position, both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet. Liquidity, as measured by the sum of cash and cash equivalents, CDs held for investment, and available for sale investment securities, was 19.3% of total liabilities at June 30, 2026, compared to 22.1% at March 31, 2026, and 17.0% one year ago. Timberland also had secured borrowing line capacity of $791 million available through the FHLB and the Federal Reserve at June 30, 2026. With a strong and diversified deposit base, only 17% of Timberland’s deposits were uninsured or uncollateralized at June 30, 2026. (Note: This calculation excludes public deposits that are fully collateralized.)
Loans
Net loans receivable increased $44.77 million, or 3%, during the quarter to $1.50 billion at June 30, 2026, from $1.45 billion at March 31, 2026, and increased $54.16 million, or 4%, from $1.44 billion at June 30, 2025. The increase during the quarter was primarily due to a $35.26 million increase in commercial real estate loans, a $30.48 million increase in construction loans and smaller increases in several other loan categories. These increases were partially offset by an $11.58 million decrease in one- to four-family loans, a $9.70 million increase in the undisbursed portion of construction loans in process and smaller changes in several other loan categories.

During the current quarter, fixed-rate one- to four-family mortgage loans totaling $7.83 million were sold compared to $11.36 million for the preceding quarter and $5.11 million for the comparable quarter one year ago.
Investment Securities
Timberland’s investment securities and CDs held for investment increased $863,000 or less than 1%, to $216.89 million at June 30, 2026, from $216.03 million at March 31, 2026. The increase was primarily due to the purchase of additional CDs and U.S. government agency mortgage-backed investment securities, which were partially offset by maturities of U.S. Treasury Securities and scheduled amortization.
Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”)
BOLI increased $15.25 million, or 69%, to $37.39 million at June 30, 2026, from $22.14 million at March 31, 2026. The increase was primarily due to $15.00 million in additional BOLI policies purchased during the quarter.

Total borrowings decreased $10.00 million, or 50%, to $10.00 million at June 30, 2026, from $20.00 million as March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025.
Shareholders’ Equity and Capital Ratios
Total shareholders’ equity increased $2.12 million, or 1%, to $273.21 million at June 30, 2026, from $271.09 million at March 31, 2026, and increased $16.54 million, or 6%, from $256.66 million at June 30, 2025. The increase in shareholders’ equity during the quarter was primarily due to net income of $7.72 million and proceeds from stock option exercises of $140,000. These increases to shareholders’ equity were partially offset by the payment of $2.27 million in dividends to shareholders and the repurchase of 70,000 shares of common stock for $2.83 million (an average price of $40.49 per share), and a $817,000 increase of accumulated other comprehensive loss. At June 30, 2026, Timberland had 157,977 shares available to be repurchased in accordance with the terms of its existing stock repurchase plan.
Timberland remains well capitalized with a total risk-based capital ratio of 20.87%, a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 12.82%, a tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP) of 12.61%, and a shareholders’ equity to total assets ratio of 13.26% at June 30, 2026. Timberland’s held to maturity investment securities were $117.59 million at June 30, 2026, with a net unrealized loss of $4.37 million (pre-tax). Although not permitted by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), including these unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) would result in a ratio of shareholders’ equity to total assets of 13.11%, compared to 13.26%, as reported.
Asset Quality
Timberland’s non-performing assets to total assets ratio was 0.43% at June 30, 2026, compared to 0.47% at March 31, 2026, and 0.21% at June 30, 2025. Net recoveries were $1,000 for the current quarter compared to net charge-offs of less than $1,000 for the preceding quarter and net recoveries of $1,000 for the comparable quarter one year ago. During the current quarter, a $600,000 provision for credit losses on loans was made, which was offset by a $91,000 recapture of credit losses on unfunded commitments and a $1,000 recapture of credit losses on investment securities. The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) for loans as a percentage of loans receivable was 1.27% at June 30, 2026, compared to 1.27% at March 31, 2026, and 1.23% one year ago.
Total delinquent loans (past due 30 days or more) and non-accrual loans decreased $1.69 million, or 16%, to $8.71 million at June 30, 2026, from $10.40 million at March 31,2026, and increased $2.54 million, or 41%, from $6.17 million at June 30, 2025. Non-accrual loans decreased $849,000 or 9%, to $8.56 million at June 30, 2026 from $9.41 million at March 31, 2026, and increased $4.71 million, or 123%, from $3.84 million at June 30, 2025. Loans graded “Substandard” decreased $874,000, or 9%, to $8.66 million at June 30, 2026 from $9.54 million at March 31, 2026 and decreased $23.71 million, or 73%, from $32.37 million at June 30, 2025.

continuing elevated levels of inflation and the impact of current and future monetary policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve") in response thereto; the effects of any federal government shutdown; credit risks of lending activities, including any deterioration in the housing and commercial real estate markets which may lead to increased losses and non-performing loans in our loan portfolio resulting in our ACL not being adequate to cover actual losses and thus requiring us to materially increase our ACL through the provision for credit losses; changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas; changes in the levels of general interest rates, and the relative differences between short and long-term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and funding sources;

results of examinations of us by the Federal Reserve and of our bank subsidiary by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Banks or other regulatory authorities, including the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, institute a formal or informal enforcement action against us or our bank subsidiary which could require us to increase our ACL, write-down assets, change our regulatory capital position or affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits or impose additional requirements or restrictions on us, any of which could adversely affect our liquidity and earnings; the impact of bank failures or adverse developments at other banks and related negative press about the banking industry in general on investor and depositor sentiment; legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business including changes in banking, securities and tax law, in regulatory policies and principles, or the interpretation of regulatory capital or other rules; our ability to attract and retain deposits; our ability to control operating costs and expenses; the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain of our assets, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuation; difficulties in reducing risks associated with the loans in our consolidated balance sheet; staffing fluctuations in response to product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect our work force and potential associated charges; disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events, failures or interruptions in, or attacks on, our information technology systems or on the third-party vendors who perform several of our critical processing functions; our ability to retain key members of our senior management team; costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments; our ability to implement our business strategies; our ability to manage loan delinquency rates; increased competitive pressures among financial services companies; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; the availability of resources to address changes in laws, rules, or regulations or to respond to regulatory actions; our ability to pay dividends on our common stock; the quality and composition of our securities portfolio and the impact if any adverse changes in the securities markets, including on market liquidity; inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to us; changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the financial institution regulatory agencies or the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), including additional guidance and interpretation on accounting issues and details of the implementation of new accounting methods;

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Timberland believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with information useful in understanding the Company’s financial performance; however, readers of this report are urged to review these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP results as reported.
Financial measures that exclude intangible assets are non-GAAP measures. To provide investors with a broader understanding of capital adequacy, Timberland provides non-GAAP financial measures for tangible common equity, along with the GAAP measure. Tangible common equity is calculated as shareholders’ equity less goodwill and CDI. In addition, tangible assets equal total assets less goodwill and CDI.
The following table provides a reconciliation of ending shareholders’ equity (GAAP) to ending tangible shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP) and ending total assets (GAAP) to ending tangible assets (non-GAAP).

FirstSun Capital Bancorp vykázala ve 2. čtvrtletí čistou ztrátu 23 milionů USD, tedy 0,49 USD na akcii, kvůli nákladům spojeným s fúzí a vyšším úvěrovým rezervám. Společnost zároveň oznámila zpětný odkup akcií až za 150 milionů USD.
FirstSun Capital Bancorp NASDAQ: FSUN reported a second-quarter net loss of $23 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, as merger-related expenses and elevated credit provisions weighed on results following its April 1 acquisition of First Foundation.
Chief Executive Officer Neal Arnold said the quarter marked an important stage in the company’s integration of First Foundation, which expanded FirstSun’s presence in Southern California and added a wealth management platform. He said the company completed its planned balance-sheet downsizing during the quarter and is focused on completing its core-system conversion in late September.

The quarterly loss included $44 million in after-tax merger-related expenses and $30 million in after-tax credit-loss provisioning, Arnold said. Chief Financial Officer Rob Cafera said adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision net income, excluding merger costs, rose to $70 million, or $1.50 per share, from $37.3 million, or $1.32 per share, in the first quarter.
Balance-sheet repositioning completed Cafera said FirstSun reduced acquired assets by about $3.9 billion during the second quarter, including $1.4 billion of acquired securities and $1.3 billion of acquired loans. Loan reductions included about $901 million of multifamily loans, $337 million of municipal loans and nearly $100 million of shared national credits.
On the funding side, the company reduced acquired funding by about $3.9 billion, including $2.2 billion in brokered deposits, about $330 million in higher-cost non-relationship deposits and $1.4 billion in Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. FirstSun’s wholesale funding ratio ended the quarter at 6.8%.
Management said the actions reduced concentration, liquidity and interest-rate risks while improving capital flexibility. Excluding acquired First Foundation deposits net of downsizing, core deposits grew at an adjusted annualized rate of about 5%, led by the Los Angeles and Orange County markets.
Core loan balances, excluding acquired loans and net of downsizing, declined at a 6% annualized rate in the second quarter. New loan fundings totaled $377 million, down 29% from the first quarter, while line utilization fell 4%. However, Cafera said core loan balance growth for the first six months of 2026 was 9.7% on the same adjusted basis.
Margin pressure eased late in the quarter Net interest margin was 3.58% in the second quarter, compared with 4.25% in the first quarter. Cafera said the decline reflected the acquired loan portfolio’s lower stated coupons, higher funding costs and the timing of repositioning actions, as loan sales were completed in June.
Still, the company said its net interest margin improved by 29 basis points from April to June, reaching 3.76% in June. Deposit costs in June were 20 basis points lower than in April, according to Cafera.
FirstSun expects cost-of-funds reductions, including lower brokered-deposit costs and additional funding remixing, to support further margin improvement. Management expects net interest margin to increase slightly in the third quarter from June’s level, reach the mid-3.80% range in the fourth quarter, and move into the high-3.80% range in the first quarter of 2027.
Service-fee revenue increased 50.7% from the first quarter, primarily because of the acquisition. The company also reported organic growth in mortgage and treasury-management revenue. Mortgage and wealth-management revenue combined accounted for 62.3% of second-quarter service-fee revenue, while total service-fee revenue represented 22% of company revenue.
Credit losses tied to two larger loans Provision expense totaled $40.4 million in the second quarter and net charge-offs were $42.4 million, or 145 basis points of average loans on an annualized basis. Two loan events accounted for 86% of the quarter’s provision expense and 82% of charge-offs, Cafera said.
The first involved what management described as fraudulent misrepresentations by a borrower in the materials-distribution business. The second involved a technology company whose financial performance deteriorated during the quarter. The two loans generated approximately $35 million in pre-tax charge-offs, Arnold said.
Management said the losses were borrower-specific and not indicative of broad-based deterioration in the commercial and industrial portfolio. Nonperforming loans increased to 1.64% of total loans at June 30, from 0.86% at March 31, while criticized loans rose to 7.7% of loans from 4.3%.
Cafera said about 76% of the increase in criticized loans was related to the acquired First Foundation portfolio. Multifamily loans represented 60% of the increase in criticized balances. Management said weighted loan-to-value for criticized multifamily loans was 68%, and guarantees covered approximately 94% of those loans.
The allowance for credit losses stood at 150 basis points of loans at June 30, up from 120 basis points at the end of the first quarter. FirstSun expects full-year net charge-offs to average in the high-50-basis-point range and anticipates a more normalized charge-off level in 2027.
Capital and outlook Tangible book value per share was $35.16, down almost 9% from March 31. The company said acquisition-related tangible book value dilution was approximately 10%, lower than its original 14% estimate, reflecting lower expected merger expenses and more favorable net fair-value effects.
FirstSun reported a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 11.95%, total risk-based capital of 14.13% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.47%. The company also announced a share-repurchase authorization of up to $150 million, with purchases targeted over the next four quarters beginning in the third quarter.
For the remainder of 2026, management expects low-double-digit loan growth from the second-quarter period-end level and low-single-digit deposit growth. It expects mid-single-digit loan and deposit growth in 2027. The company expects its adjusted efficiency ratio to improve to the low-60% range in the fourth quarter as further cost savings are realized after the planned September systems conversion.

NBT Bancorp vykázala ve 2. čtvrtletí čistý zisk 53 milionů USD, tedy 1,02 USD na akcii, díky rekordnímu čistému úrokovému výnosu a růstu úvěrů. Zároveň zvýšila čtvrtletní dividendu na 0,40 USD na akcii pro 3. čtvrtletí.
NBT Bancorp NASDAQ: NBTB reported second-quarter net income of $53 million, or $1.02 per diluted common share, as record net interest income, loan growth and fee-based revenue contributed to improved results.
President and CEO Scott Kingsley said the company delivered “significantly stronger earnings” than in the prior-year quarter, with operating earnings rising 15%. Operating return on assets was 1.32% and operating return on tangible equity was 15.61%, while tangible book value per share reached $27.71, up 12.8% from a year earlier.
The company also raised its quarterly cash dividend to $0.40 per share for the third quarter, an 8.1% increase from the prior-year quarter and its 14th consecutive annual dividend increase. NBT repurchased 318,000 shares during the first half of 2026.

Loan Growth Broadens Across Business Lines Total loans ended the quarter at $11.9 billion, an increase of $276 million, or 2.4%, from Dec. 31, 2025. Chief Financial Officer Annette Burns said all business lines grew during the first six months of the year, including a $178 million increase in commercial loans and a $98 million increase in consumer loans.
Commercial growth was balanced between commercial and industrial lending and commercial real estate relationships, according to Burns. Kingsley said loan activity improved after difficult winter conditions and elevated commercial real estate payoffs affected the first quarter. While he said the company may not replicate second-quarter growth in the second half, he characterized first-half performance as indicative of the company’s capability on a go-forward basis.
Kingsley also cited strong indirect auto lending during the quarter, though he said second-half growth in that category is not expected to match the second-quarter level. He said new indirect auto origination yields declined amid competition, but described the portfolio as fast-turning and low duration, with favorable loss characteristics.
Margin Expansion and Funding Trends Net interest income rose to a record $137 million, up $3 million from the first quarter and more than 10% from the second quarter of 2025. The increase reflected organic growth in interest-earning assets, lower funding costs and one additional calendar day in the quarter, Burns said.
Net interest margin increased one basis point sequentially to 3.73%, and was 14 basis points above the year-earlier level. Management said the balance sheet remains positioned for a range of interest-rate environments, although further movement in earning-asset yields and margin will depend largely on the yield curve and reinvestment of loan and securities portfolio cash flows.
Burns said NBT expects stable to modestly higher margin over the next couple of quarters based on current rates. New originations are expected to be concentrated in commercial lending and residential mortgages, where management sees potential for higher pricing, although competition and deposit acquisition costs could affect that opportunity.
Total deposits stood at $13.5 billion at quarter-end. Deposits declined $205.7 million from March 31, primarily because of seasonal municipal outflows. Nearly 60% of deposits were held in no- and low-cost checking and savings accounts, with a blended cost just below 40 basis points. Total deposit costs fell one basis point during the quarter to 1.33%, while total funding costs declined to 1.41%.
Kingsley said commercial and business banking relationships create opportunities to add deposits through NBT’s treasury management platform. He said deposit growth from newly opened commercial relationships typically develops over quarters rather than weeks, as customers transition their banking activity.
Fee Income, Expenses and Credit Quality Excluding securities gains, non-interest income was $49.6 million, unchanged from the prior quarter and up 5.8% year over year. Retirement plan administration revenue increased 7.8% from a year earlier. Combined quarterly revenue from retirement plan services, wealth management and insurance services exceeded $32 million, and non-interest income represented about 27% of total revenue.
Management said wealth management revenue was affected by the timing of activity-based fees and open personnel positions that affected production during the quarter.
Total operating expenses declined 0.7% sequentially. Salaries and employee benefits were $69 million, rising modestly because of the full-quarter effect of March merit increases, an additional payroll day and higher medical costs. Those factors were partly offset by lower payroll taxes and stock-based compensation expenses. Burns said NBT expects full-year operating expense growth of roughly 2.5% to 3%, with payroll timing, incentive compensation and technology investments contributing to higher expenses in the second half.
Provision expense was $6.1 million, compared with $5.6 million in the first quarter, primarily reflecting loan growth. Loan loss reserves were 1.18% of total loans and covered more than twice the level of nonperforming loans.
Expansion, Micron Activity and M&A Kingsley said NBT continues to benefit from its acquisition of Evans Bancorp, completed more than a year ago, and noted that the Buffalo region generated the highest loan origination volume across the company during the second quarter.
The company is pursuing organic expansion in Southern Maine, Southern New Hampshire and the Rochester, New York, market. Kingsley said NBT opened a branch south of Portland earlier this year and plans another in early 2027. It has also committed to two sites in the greater Rochester market and is evaluating additional locations.
Management also pointed to growing activity around Micron’s semiconductor project near Syracuse. Kingsley said construction has advanced and opportunities are emerging in infrastructure, construction and professional services. He added that workforce training, housing and community development are becoming a greater focus as the project progresses toward expected production in 2030.
On acquisitions, Kingsley said NBT remains in regular discussions with smaller community banks, though there has not been substantial transaction activity in its markets. The company generally views institutions with $1 billion to $3 billion in assets as its preferred range, while also considering smaller firms with differentiated non-interest income businesses.

Byline Bancorp oznámila rekordní čistý zisk za 2. čtvrtletí ve výši 40,2 milionu USD, tedy 0,90 USD na akcii, a výnosy vzrostly na 118 milionů USD. Správní rada zároveň schválila zvýšení čtvrtletní dividendy o 16,7 % na 0,14 USD na akcii.
Consumer-Driven Stocks Boost Buybacks, Including Visa's $20B PlanByline Bancorp NYSE: BY reported record second-quarter net income of $40.2 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, as revenue increased and expenses declined from the prior quarter. Adjusted earnings per share were $0.91, up 10% sequentially and 21% from a year earlier, President Alberto Paracchini said during the company’s earnings call.
The Chicago-based commercial bank posted a 1.63% return on average assets and a return on average common equity of just under 14.5%. Its pre-tax, pre-provision return on assets was 2.49%, marking the company’s 15th consecutive quarter above 2%, according to management.

Could This Entertainment Stock be the Belle of the Gaming Ball?“We delivered net income of $40.2 million or $0.90 per diluted share,” Paracchini said. “Record net income and excellent profitability really stood out this quarter.”
Revenue Growth and Efficiency Improvement Revenue totaled $118 million, up 4.7% from the prior quarter, while non-interest expenses fell. The adjusted efficiency ratio improved to 46.5% from 49.8% in the first quarter, which Paracchini described as the company’s best result since becoming a public company in 2017.
Boyd Gaming stock: All signs point to a significant break higherNet interest income was $101 million, up modestly from the preceding quarter. Net interest margin declined 5 basis points to 4.28%, primarily reflecting higher funding costs associated with a maturing balance-sheet hedge and changes in earning-asset mix, CFO Tom Bell said.
Management emphasized that it prioritizes growth in net interest income dollars rather than managing to a particular margin target. Paracchini said the bank may accept lower spreads on high-quality, relationship-oriented business if it is accretive to earnings and supports long-term franchise value.
For the third quarter, Byline projected net interest income of $100 million to $102 million, non-interest income of $14 million to $15 million, and gain-on-sale revenue averaging about $5.5 million per quarter. The company maintained its full-year non-interest expense outlook of $59 million to $60 million per quarter.
Bell said second-half expenses are expected to rise due largely to employee-related costs, including health care benefits and commissions tied to production. Management also said potential opportunities to hire banking talent are included in its outlook.
Loans, Deposits and Rate Environment Total loans ended the quarter at $7.6 billion, increasing at a 4.2% annualized rate. New originations totaled $234 million, while payoffs were elevated at $339 million. Loan commitments rose slightly, and line utilization increased to 60% from 59% in the prior quarter.
Management expects full-year loan growth in the mid-single digits if payoff activity normalizes in the second half. Paracchini said the recent elevated payoff activity partly reflects the bank’s effort to recycle acquired loan portfolios into new customer relationships.
Total deposits reached $7.9 billion, rising at a 3.5% annualized rate. Growth in interest-bearing checking balances was partly offset by lower money-market balances. The loan-to-deposit ratio ended the quarter at 96%.
Byline said competition for both loans and deposits remains elevated. Paracchini said price competition has intensified in commercial real estate, particularly as larger institutions return to certain segments of that market. He cited multifamily and industrial properties as areas where more capital is competing for a reduced level of transaction activity.
Bell said the company remains focused on relationship deposits rather than more rate-sensitive funding. He added that commercial customers moving balances from money-market accounts to interest-bearing checking could indicate they anticipate uses for that capital.
Credit Trends Remain Favorable Credit costs were $7.2 million during the quarter, including $4.4 million of net charge-offs and a $2.8 million reserve build. Net charge-offs equaled 24 basis points of loans, down from 32 basis points in the first quarter.
Criticized loans declined to 3.9% of total loans from 4.5% both sequentially and from a year earlier. Nonperforming loans totaled $69.1 million, or 92 basis points of total loans, up marginally from the prior quarter and flat year over year. The allowance for credit losses rose to $112 million, or 1.48% of total loans.
Chief Credit Officer Mark Fucinato said the decline in criticized and classified loans reflected improved performance at several larger operating companies, as well as the resolution of a workout situation in which an operating company sold a mortgaged asset and repaid its exposure in full. The bank also recorded a recovery on a prior charge-off.
Paracchini said management’s near-term expectation for net charge-offs remains in the range of 30 to 40 basis points, although he expects that level may migrate lower over time as the SBA portfolio becomes a smaller part of Byline’s overall balance sheet.
Capital Returns and $10 Billion Threshold Byline ended the quarter with total assets of $9.9 billion. Tangible common equity rose to 11.4%, while the common equity tier 1 ratio reached 12.9%. Tangible book value per share increased 14% from a year earlier to $24.48.
During the quarter, the company repurchased about 275,000 shares for $9.1 million. Including dividends and buybacks, its total shareholder payout ratio was 36%.
The board also approved a 16.7% increase in the quarterly dividend to $0.14 per share. Paracchini said the increase reflects the company’s capital position and earnings profile.
Management said it continues preparing to cross the $10 billion asset threshold. Paracchini said the company is not currently constraining normal balance-sheet activity to stay below that level, but it could manage the balance sheet near year-end if doing so would delay the effects of the Durbin amendment until mid-2028.
On acquisitions, Paracchini described the environment for smaller-bank transactions as constructive. He said Byline would generally seek deals with tangible book value earn-backs within three years, while continuing to weigh acquisitions against organic growth, investments in the business and share repurchases.

Customers Bancorp vykázala za 2. čtvrtletí EPS 2,05 USD, meziročně o 18 % více, a potvrdila celoroční výhled. Čistý úrokový výnos stoupl na více než 193 milionů USD a banka očekává silnější druhou polovinu roku 2026.
Customers Bancorp NYSE: CUBI reported second-quarter 2026 earnings per share of $2.05, up about 4% from the prior quarter and 18% from a year earlier, as loan growth, deposit gathering and net interest income increased. CEO Sam Sidhu and Chief Financial Officer Mark McCollum said the company reaffirmed its key full-year guidance and expects stronger net interest income in the second half of 2026.
Total loans reached a record $18 billion, rising $624 million, or 4%, during the quarter and 17% year over year. Total deposits increased by more than $140 million sequentially to a record $21.7 billion, while non-interest-bearing deposits reached a second consecutive record of $6.9 billion, representing 32% of deposits.

“The second quarter was further evidence of our core strategy firing on all cylinders,” Sidhu said, citing continued balance-sheet growth, credit quality and capital levels.
Net Interest Income and Margin Outlook Net interest income totaled more than $193 million, increasing $16 million, or 9%, from a year earlier. McCollum said the increase reflected higher average loan balances and a lower cost of funds. On an annualized linked-quarter basis, net interest income rose about 4%.
The company’s net interest margin was 3.17% in the second quarter, which McCollum described as the expected low point for 2026. Customers Bancorp expects third-quarter margin to move closer to its first-quarter level and to build from there, while net interest income is expected to be stronger in the year’s second half.
Management pointed to deposit pipelines, continued remixing of higher-cost funding, the contribution from recently hired commercial teams and loan growth that accelerated late in the second quarter. During the quarter, the bank remixed more than $600 million of less-strategic deposits, improving pricing by 150 basis points, according to McCollum.
In response to an analyst question, McCollum said the company’s loan-growth outlook appears more likely to land toward the higher end of its guidance range. He said new-loan pricing varied by business vertical, generally ranging from 200 to 225 basis points over SOFR to 300 basis points over SOFR.
Deposit Growth and Commercial Team Recruitment Non-interest-bearing deposits increased by about $175 million during the quarter. Excluding the digital-assets, or DA, channel, such balances rose approximately $375 million, up 14% sequentially and 37% year over year. The company has added more than $840 million of non-interest-bearing deposits outside the DA channel over the past 12 months.
Sidhu said teams recruited since 2023 account for 18% of the company’s deposit base. Teams hired during the past 12 months held more than $500 million in deposits across 1,600 accounts, with 63% of those deposits non-interest bearing. The company said about 30 team members had joined or were in advanced discussions to join during 2026, with four teams expected to join in the third quarter.
Management said the bank’s 2025 recruiting cohort became profitable in approximately three quarters and operated with roughly 1.7 times deposits to loans. The company also cited a roughly $250 million non-interest-bearing deposit pipeline for new teams over the following 90 days.
cubiX Payments Platform Expands Customers Bancorp’s cubiX payments platform surpassed $5 trillion in cumulative transaction activity during the quarter. The bank said it processed more than 200,000 cubiX internal transfers year to date, double the level in the comparable period last year.
The real estate payments vertical is becoming a larger contributor, with transaction volume rising roughly sevenfold sequentially and spot deposit balances exceeding $400 million after only a few quarters. The bank added about 350 deposit accounts in the vertical.
Sidhu said the company projects that real estate could represent 20% of payment units by 2027. Management said mortgage-finance customers migrated to cubiX and newly added real estate customers represented about $1 billion in aggregate balances, with an internal target of reaching approximately $1.5 billion by year-end.
While DA trading activity was lower in May and June, management said total cubiX balances were roughly flat in the quarter because of growth in real estate payments. Customers Bancorp said it expects cubiX to become a growth area in 2027 as newer verticals scale.
AI Investments and Efficiency Efforts Sidhu said Customers Bancorp is pursuing a goal of becoming an “AI-native regional bank.” The company is working with OpenAI engineers on custom capabilities and has piloted a multi-agent credit-underwriting process that it said helped close certain commercial-and-industrial and commercial-real-estate loans within a week.
The bank said its AI-enabled workflow automation has saved at least 46,000 hours, equivalent to 24 full-time employees, and that employees have built more than 600 agents and custom GPTs. All team members are now AI licensed, according to Sidhu.
Management is targeting a low-40% run-rate efficiency ratio in 2027, compared with roughly 50% currently, through revenue growth and productivity improvements. Non-interest expense was $114.9 million in the second quarter, including about $1 million of severance. The company’s operational excellence program has achieved its $30 million annual run-rate target, including about $4 million from revenue initiatives and $26 million from expense initiatives.
Tangible book value per share rose 3% sequentially and 16% year over year to $65.20. The CET1 ratio stood at 12.8%, while the tangible common equity-to-tangible assets ratio was 8.3%. Management said credit quality remained stable, with commercial charge-offs at 18 basis points and reserve coverage at 293%.

The increase in net interest income from the linked and like quarters resulted from additional loan volume and increasing loan yield through originations as well as one additional earning day compared to the linked quarter.

(1) Calculated by dividing annualized net interest income by average earning assets for the period.
(2) Calculated by dividing annualized tax-equivalent net interest income by average earning assets for the period. The tax-equivalent amount reflects the tax benefit that the Company receives related to its tax-exempt loans and securities, which carry interest rates lower than similar taxable investments due to their tax-exempt status. This amount has been computed using the expected tax rate and is reduced by the related nondeductible portion of interest expense.

Provision for Credit Losses and Credit Quality
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $1.2 million, $3.1 million and $2.2 million in provision for credit losses, respectively. The provision for the second quarter of 2026 was driven by net charge-offs of $1.0 million. The Allowance for Credit Losses increased $0.2 million to $124.9 million, or 1.39% of loans. Additionally, the $22 thousand provision for unfunded commitments during the quarter was the result of additional unfunded lending commitments.
The Company did not adjust its incremental reserve for potential exposure from Hurricane Helene, maintaining a $1.9 million reserve as of June 30, 2026. The remaining incremental reserve contributed two basis points to the Allowance for Credit Losses at period end.
Asset quality remained strong with annualized net loan charge-offs of 0.04% for the second quarter of 2026. Total nonperforming assets ("NPAs") totaled $44.9 million at June 30, 2026, or 0.34% of total assets, up slightly from 0.32% at March 31, 2026 and 0.28% at June 30, 2025.
The following table presents the summary of NPAs and asset quality ratios for each period.

As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, estimated insured deposits totaled $6.5 billion, or 58.9%, and $6.5 billion, or 59.0%, of total deposits, respectively. In addition, at June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, there were collateralized deposits of $748.7 million and $723.8 million, respectively, such that approximately 65.7% and 65.6%, respectively, of our total deposits were insured or collateralized at those dates.
Capital
The Company maintains capital in excess of well-capitalized regulatory requirements, with an estimated total risk-based capital ratio at June 30, 2026 of 16.06%, down from the linked quarter ratio of 16.12% and from the like quarter ratio of 16.90%.
The Company has elected to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") related primarily to available for sale securities from common equity tier 1 capital. AOCI is included in the Company's tangible common equity ("TCE") to tangible assets ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) which was 9.83% at June 30, 2026, an increase of 20 basis points from the linked quarter and 100 basis points from June 30, 2025. The increase in TCE from the like quarter was driven by improvements in the level of unrealized losses on the available for sale securities portfolio, arising from market value improvements and the 2025 securities loss-earnback transactions. Please refer to Appendix A for a reconciliation of common equity to TCE (a non-GAAP measure) and Appendix C for a calculation of the TCE ratio (a non-GAAP measure).

Supplemental information
APPENDIX H: Loan purchase discount accretion and its impact on the Company's NIM
Included in interest income for the second quarter of 2026 was loan purchase accounting discount accretion of $1.1 million compared to $1.1 million for the linked quarter and $1.5 million for the like quarter, with the activity primarily related to the continued repayments/reduction of the loan portfolio acquired from GrandSouth Bancorporation in January of 2023. Loan discount accretion had positive impacts of three basis points, three basis points and four basis points, respectively, on the Company's NIM and NIM-T/E in the second quarter of 2026, the linked quarter and the like quarter.
The following table presents the impact to net interest income of the purchase accounting adjustments for each period.
