Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Net interest income was $14.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, an increase of 13.3% from $12.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The net interest margin of 3.85% for the second quarter of 2026 increased 17 basis points from 3.68% for the second quarter of 2025. Loan yields for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, were 6.59%, an increase of 11 basis points compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Excluding purchase accounting accretion, the core loan portfolio generated a yield of approximately 6.53%, reflecting disciplined pricing and favorable portfolio mix. Purchase accounting accretion on acquired loans contributed 6 basis points to overall loan yield during the second quarter of 2026, compared to approximately 23 basis points during the second quarter of 2025. During the second quarter of 2026, $95.2 million of the existing loan portfolio repriced and the bank funded $37.6 million in term loans and extended $13.5 million of lines of credit commitments at current market rates.

Investment yields decreased 13 basis points to 3.89% as of June 30, 2026, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was driven by the maturity of higher-yielding securities during the second half of 2025, which impacted overall investment income. The cost of funds for the second quarter of 2026 was 2.47%, a decrease of 6 basis points when compared to the second quarter of 2025. Funding costs reflect increased local deposit growth and reduced reliance on wholesale funding, including FHLB advances. The cost of deposits was 2.43% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, a 6-basis point increase when compared to 2.37% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The cost of borrowings for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, totaled 5.20%, an increase of 77 basis points when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The increase is due to other borrowings as there were no Federal Home Loan Bank advances in the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Noninterest income totaled $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $349,000, or 38.5%, when compared to the same period in 2025. The increase resulted from management's fee structure review aimed at improving revenue performance.

Noninterest expense totaled $7.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of $767,000, 9.2%, compared to $8.3 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was driven by a decrease in salaries and employee benefits, legal, and other expenses. These decreases were partially offset by higher franchise taxes and net occupancy and equipment expenses. Overall, the Company maintained disciplined expense management while absorbing higher regulatory and operating costs associated with growth.

Provision for income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, was $1.6 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 20.6%.

June 30, 2026, Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had total assets of $1.55 billion with net loan balances totaling $1.27 billion. Loan balances grew by $10.9 million, or 3.5% annualized, during the second quarter of 2026. The increase is primarily attributed to organic growth across the loan portfolios.

The allowance for credit losses increased $91,000, or 2.7% annualized, during the second quarter to $13.8 million at June 30, 2026. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.07% for June 30, 2026. The allowance for credit losses and the related provision for credit losses is based on management’s judgment and evaluation of the loan portfolio. Management believes the current allowance for credit losses is adequate, however, changing economic and other conditions may require future adjustments to the allowance for credit losses.

Total liabilities were $1.42 billion at June 30, 2026, with deposits totaling $1.38 billion and wholesale funding totaling $0. Deposits grew by $24.5 million, or 7.2% annualized, during the second quarter of 2026, mainly attributed to growth from Maximize Money Market accounts and the Short-Term Relationship Certificates of Deposits. The Company primarily utilizes FHLB advances as the primary source of wholesale funding due to their accessibility and alignment with prevailing market rates.

Total stockholders’ equity was $138 million at June 30, 2026, an increase of $4.9 million in the second quarter and a $9.2 million increase when compared to December 31, 2025.

Credit Quality

A provision for credit losses and unfunded commitments of $154,000 was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
