CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2026 Results

Rhea-AI Summary

CIB Marine Bancshares (OTCQX:CIBH) reported unaudited Q2 2026 net income of $0.9 million, or $0.69 basic EPS, up from $0.7 million, or $0.49 basic EPS, in Q2 2025. Six‑month 2026 net income rose to $1.5 million, or $1.14 basic EPS, versus $1.0 million, or $0.73 basic EPS, a year earlier.

Net interest margin increased to 3.03% in Q2 2026 from 2.69% in Q2 2025, and to 3.00% for the first half from 2.65%, as cost of funds declined faster than earning asset yields. Asset quality metrics improved, with nonperforming assets to total assets at 0.87% and nonaccrual loans to loans at 1.09% at June 30, 2026, versus 1.04% and 1.31% at December 31, 2025.

Loans fell $6 million since year‑end 2025 amid lower originations, while deposits grew $6 million, enabling reduced borrowings. Tangible book value per share increased to $61.56. According to CIB Marine, buybacks totaled $1.2 million in H1 2026 and 5% of shares have been repurchased since February 2025 under a $3.5 million authorization through 2026.

News Explained

Improved earnings accompany a partially used buyback authorization, with the clearest holder-level change being fewer outstanding common shares.

In its July 13, 2026 release, CIB Marine Bancshares reported unaudited results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, so the disclosure is at the reported-results stage. For existing common holders, the release also records an ongoing repurchase program: the company bought $1.2 million of CIBH stock in the first half of 2026 and says it has repurchased 5% of outstanding stock since February 2025.

The disclosed mechanics distinguish purchases already reported from the larger authorization: $2.5 million had been utilized, while $3.5 million was authorized through 2026. This makes the repurchase activity a completed reduction in shares outstanding to date, with additional activity authorized rather than reported as completed.

Quarterly net income rose to $0.9 million from $0.7 million in the same quarter of 2025, and six-month net income rose to $1.5 million from $1.0 million. Outstanding shares were 1,319,357 at June 30, 2026, compared with 1,335,390 at December 31, 2025; treasury stock was 82,906 shares versus 51,174.

BROOKFIELD, Wis., July 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company” or “CIB Marine”) (OTCQX: CIBH), the holding company of CIBM Bank (the “Bank”), announced its unaudited results of operations and financial condition for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026. Net income for the quarter increased to $0.9 million, or $0.69 basic and $0.68 diluted net income per share, compared to $0.7 million or $0.49 basic and $0.48 diluted net income per share, for the same quarter of 2025. For the six-month period, net income increased to $1.5 million, or $1.14 basic and $1.12 diluted net income per share from $1.0 million, or $0.73 basic and $0.71 diluted net income per share, for the same period in 2025.

Financial highlights for the quarter include:

• Net interest margin increased to 3.03% compared to 2.96% for the first quarter of 2026 and 2.69% for the second quarter of 2025; and to 3.00% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2.65% for the same period of 2025.   The rising trend continued as the cost of funds declined at a faster pace than earning asset yields. Net interest income increased $0.5 million for the quarter compared to the same quarter of 2025, and by $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period of 2025, primarily as a result of an improved net interest margin that more than offset the impact of lower average earning asset balances.     

• Net income for the Banking and Mortgage Divisions increased by $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025.   The Banking Division’s increase was driven primarily by higher net interest income, which more than offset increased provisions for credit losses. The Mortgage Division’s improved results were primarily attributable to effective cost management, as mortgage origination volumes remain low due to higher mortgage rates and limited housing inventory.
• The allowance for credit losses to loans declined to 1.20% at June 30, 2026, from 1.27% at December 31, 2025, primarily due to charge-offs of individually assessed loans. Non-performing assets to total assets and non-accrual loans to loans improved to 0.87% and 1.09%, respectively, on June 30, 2026, compared to 1.04% and 1.31%, respectively, on December 31, 2025.
• Since year-end 2025, loan balances decreased by $6 million, reflecting lower origination activity, while deposit balances grew by $6 million, allowing CIBM Bank to reduce total borrowings. The Company is targeting growth in loan portfolio balances during the remainder of 2026, primarily within its commercial lending segments.

Mr. J. Brian Chaffin, CIB Marine’s President and CEO, commented, “Earnings improved due to net interest margin expansion and expense management. Net interest margin for CIBM Bank was 3.09% for the second quarter, up from 2.75% in the same quarter of 2025, reflecting growth in new customer relationships supported by increased marketing activities, together with the continued repricing of loans and deposits.”

Regarding the Company’s common stock repurchase plan, he added, “Purchases of CIBH stock for the first half of 2026 totaled $1.2 million at a weighted average price of $38.33 per share. Since February 2025, we have repurchased 5% of our outstanding stock at a price of $36.17 per share, utilizing $2.5 million of the $3.5 million authorized through 2026.”

Finally, he concluded, “At mid-year we have reported continued performance improvements. Our focus for the remainder of 2026 is to build on that momentum and achieve our performance goals through even stronger results from our banking and mortgage teams.”
