Tom Wayne, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our third quarter net income improved modestly from the prior year's quarter. Net income increased 5.2% to $2.0 million, or $0.72 per share, compared to $1.9 million, or $0.69 per share, in the third quarter of 2025. The increase reflected a $178,000 increase in net interest income, as our net interest margin improved to 4.33% from 4.18%, and a $765,000 lower provision for credit losses. Those improvements were partially offset by a $367,000 decline in noninterest income, largely because we recognized no gains on the sale of SBA loans this quarter compared to $380,000 a year ago, and by a $458,000 increase in noninterest expense, of which $206,000 reflected higher employer payroll taxes following the recognition of our remaining Employee Retention Credits in 2025. As a result, pre-tax, pre-provision income, which is net interest income plus noninterest income less noninterest expense, was $2.7 million compared to $3.3 million a year ago. Improving this is a priority as we focus on loan growth following the redemption of our subordinated debentures in order to benefit our results. Our net interest margin moderated from 4.51% in the prior quarter but remains solid at 4.33%.
“Year to date, net income of $5.6 million is 1.2% below the same period last year. That comparison largely reflects two factors: we recognized no gains on the sale of SBA loans, compared to $709,000 in the first nine months of 2025; and employer payroll taxes increased $589,000 because the Employee Retention Credits we recognized in 2025 did not recur. Excluding those payroll taxes, salaries and employee benefits were $314,000 lower than in the first nine months of 2025. This year we realigned our organization across the entire Bank. In lending and retail banking, we hired commercial and SBA lenders and filled branch positions, and we strengthened the teams that support them in SBA, credit, sales support, our call center and our interactive teller machine (ITM) center. We also filled key positions in accounting and finance, human resources, marketing, deposit operations, Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering compliance, and loan operations. Each area of the Bank now works more closely together under our executive team. Just as important, we used this realignment to strengthen the Bank’s culture, with a renewed focus on accountability, teamwork and service to our customers. Loans have grown $19.7 million, or 3.8%, since year-end, and we believe these changes have built a stronger foundation for performance and earnings in the periods ahead.
“Nonperforming assets remain our most critical challenge, and reducing them is our highest priority. Nonperforming assets were $12.3 million, or 1.82% of total assets, at quarter-end, including 19 SBA loans totaling $11.9 million, or 97% of nonperforming assets. Of that amount, $8.8 million is guaranteed by the SBA, subject to the Bank’s compliance with SBA loan program requirements. Through our quarterly evaluation of each of these loans under the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology, we have already recognized $1.9 million of estimated credit losses through our provision for credit losses, reflecting the fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell, and expected recoveries from the SBA guarantee. During the quarter we collected $838,000 of SBA guarantee proceeds, and $4.8 million of these loans are now in the final stages of the guarantee acceptance process. We have implemented a disciplined, loan-by-loan resolution process, with clear ownership, strict adherence to deadlines and monthly tracking of every nonperforming asset through servicing, collateral liquidation and the SBA guarantee process, and we expect this process will move the remaining nonperforming assets off our balance sheet at a faster pace in the quarters ahead.
“Our strong capital position also allowed us to redeem all of our subordinated debentures in September. Replacing debt with an effective rate of 9.82% per annum with Bank funding at approximately 4.15% per annum should save approximately $340,000 in pre-tax interest expense each year, a benefit that will be fully reflected in our results beginning next quarter. Tangible book value per share increased to $26.84, from $24.98 a year ago, and the Bank’s Community Bank Leverage Ratio of 11.7% remains well above well-capitalized levels, giving us the strength to resolve our problem assets while continuing to grow the Bank as we serve our customers and communities. I want to thank our employees for their dedication, our Board of Directors for its guidance, and our stockholders for their continued support.”
Redemption of Subordinated Debentures
On September 15, 2026, the Company redeemed all $6.0 million of its outstanding subordinated debentures. The debentures were redeemed at par, and the Company incurred no prepayment penalty or other redemption costs. The debentures had an effective interest rate of 9.82% per annum in 2026. The redemption was funded through a dividend from the Bank to the Company, and management estimates the Bank’s marginal cost of funding the redemption is approximately 4.15% per annum. Based on that difference, the redemption is expected to reduce the Company’s interest expense by approximately $340,000 annually, or approximately $85,000 per quarter, on a pre-tax basis. The redemption was made possible by the Bank’s strong capital position. The Bank’s Community Bank Leverage Ratio declined to 11.7% at September 30, 2026, from 12.5% at June 30, 2026, reflecting the capital provided to fund the redemption, but remains well above the 8.0% level required to be considered well capitalized.
Dividend Announcement
A quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share of common stock is payable on December 1, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 13, 2026. “We are pleased to pay another quarterly cash dividend to our stockholders,” said Mr. Wayne. “Paying stockholders a portion of our earnings reflects our continuing commitment to enhance stockholder value.”
Financial Review
Net Interest Income
For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, net interest income was $7.0 million and $6.8 million, respectively, an increase of $178,000, or 2.6%. The net interest margin was 4.33% and 4.18%, respectively.

Total interest expense decreased $529,000, primarily due to a $603,000 decrease in interest expense on deposits and a $50,000 decrease in interest on junior subordinated notes and subordinated debentures, partially offset by a $118,000 increase in interest on Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The yield on average earning assets decreased to 6.12% from 6.28%, and the cost of funds decreased to 1.97% from 2.27%. Average loans decreased $6.8 million to $526.4 million and the average loan yield decreased to 6.43% from 6.50%.

Total interest and dividend income decreased $1.3 million, primarily due to a $880,000 decrease in interest and fees on loans and a $380,000 decrease in interest on investment securities.

Estimated losses of $1.9 million on nonperforming loans, measured through the Bank’s quarterly individual evaluation of each nonperforming loan under the CECL methodology based on the fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell, and expected recoveries from the SBA guarantee, have been recognized through the provision for credit losses, either charged off or reserved in the allowance for credit losses.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income totaled $895,000 and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $367,000, or 29.1%, primarily due to a $380,000 decrease in gains on sale of SBA loans, partially offset by a $62,000 increase in insurance commissions. Noninterest income represented 11.3% of total revenue compared to 15.5% for the same quarter in 2025. On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest income increased $73,000 from $822,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to a $70,000 increase in insurance commissions and a $21,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts. Insurance commissions included approximately $50,000 accrued in the third quarter to transition the Bank’s insurance department to the accrual basis of accounting.
Noninterest income totaled $2.7 million and $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, a decrease of $544,000, or 16.6%, primarily due to a $709,000 decrease in gains on sale of SBA loans, partially offset by a $181,000 increase in gains on sale of securities. Noninterest income represented 11.8% of total revenue compared to 14.1% for the same period in 2025.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense totaled $5.2 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $458,000, or 9.6%, primarily due to a $238,000 increase in salaries expense and a $129,000 increase in other expense, partially offset by a $127,000 decrease in equipment expense. Combined, salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of noninterest expense, totaled $3.1 million, an increase of $343,000, or 12.5%, from the same quarter in 2025. Employer payroll taxes increased $206,000, as the Company recognized its remaining Employee Retention Credits as a reduction of payroll tax expense in 2025, with no credits remaining in 2026. Excluding employer payroll taxes, salaries and employee benefits increased $137,000, reflecting higher base salaries of $166,000, group health insurance of $58,000 and lending and other sales commissions of $49,000, partially offset by lower net deferred loan origination costs of $146,000 and incentive compensation of $116,000. The efficiency ratio was 66.2% compared to 59.0% for the same quarter in 2025. On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest expense increased $327,000 from $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to a $158,000 increase in employee benefits expense, a $60,000 increase in salaries expense and a $51,000 increase in other expense. Combined, salaries and employee benefits increased $218,000, or 7.6%, from the prior quarter. The increase primarily reflected higher base salaries of $156,000, lending and other sales commissions of $105,000 and employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) expense of $86,000, partially offset by lower incentive compensation of $152,000 and stock-based compensation of $68,000. The increase in ESOP expense reflected a true-up to fund the 2025 contribution, completed before the October 15, 2026 deadline, and a higher accrual rate. ESOP expense and incentive compensation are both accrued under a performance-based methodology that measures the Bank’s results against three industry peer groups.
Noninterest expense totaled $14.8 million and $14.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, an increase of $592,000, or 4.2%, primarily due to a $253,000 increase in salaries expense, a $212,000 increase in other expense and a $207,000 increase in professional and advertising expense. Combined, salaries and employee benefits totaled $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of $275,000, or 3.3%, from the same period in 2025. Employer payroll taxes increased $589,000 for the same reason. Excluding employer payroll taxes, salaries and employee benefits decreased $314,000, reflecting lower incentive compensation of $352,000 and net deferred loan origination costs of $184,000, partially offset by higher base salaries of $196,000 and group health insurance of $83,000. The efficiency ratio was 64.3% compared to 61.4% for the same period in 2025.

Basis of Presentation
The Company’s investment in a Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) fund, previously included in loans receivable, is presented in other assets for all periods. Certain other amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income, net income available to common shareholders, or stockholders' equity. Quarterly amounts are presented as year-to-date amounts less prior year-to-date amounts so that quarterly results sum to year-to-date results; individual amounts may differ by $1 thousand from amounts previously reported due to rounding.
