Insights

Bank financial analyst

Third‑quarter results show modest earnings decline but stable core margins and a maintained dividend; watch merger timing and loan trends.

Net income of $12.27 million ($36.33 million year‑to‑date) declined about 5.9% versus the prior year quarter, but adjusted earnings improved to $12.90 million, indicating identifiable merger and one‑time items weighed results. Net interest margin remained resilient at 4.43, supported by lower interest expense and a decline in higher‑rate time deposits; however, yield on earning assets fell 0.10 (10 basis points) and average loans decreased by $116.18 million (about 4.73), which reduced interest income.

Asset quality trends are constructive: total non‑performing assets fell to $16.90 million, non‑performing loans to 0.71, and allowance for credit losses equals 1.36 of loans. Conversely, net charge‑offs rose to 0.24 annualized, and deposits declined $60.65 million (2.25), pressuring loan growth and liquidity composition. The board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.31 payable to holders of record on November 14, 2025, reinforcing capital return priorities; tangible book and equity were reduced partly by a special dividend earlier in the year.

Key near‑term items to watch include completion of the Hometown Bank merger (anticipated January 2026), quarterly trends in average loans and deposit mix, and any recurring merger costs that could continue to affect expenses. Given the modest year‑over‑year earnings decline offset by stable margins, improved adjusted earnings, and steady asset quality, the overall impact is assessed as neutral in the short term.

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights

Income Statement

• Net income of $12.27 million for the third quarter of 2025, was a decrease of $768 thousand, or 5.89%, from the same quarter of 2024. Net income of $36.33 million for the first nine months of 2025, was a decrease of $2.24 million, or 5.80%, from the same period of 2024.
• When adjusted for merger and non-recurring expenses, net income of $12.90 million was an increase of $495 thousand, or 4.00% from the third quarter of 2024.
• Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2025 remained strong at 4.43% and was an increase of 2 basis points over the same quarter of 2024. The yield on earning assets decreased 10 basis points, or 1.94%, from the same period of 2024 and is primarily attributable to a decrease in average loan balance and interest income. The average balance of loans decreased $116.18 million, or 4.73%, with interest income decreasing $1.30 million, or 4.05%. The decrease in interest income on loans was somewhat offset by an increase in interest income on interest-bearing deposits with banks of $144 thousand, or 3.89%. Interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities decreased $896 thousand, which is primarily attributable to a decrease in the average balance of time deposits of $31.42 million, or 12.82%, as well as a decrease in total interest expense of $896 thousand, or 16.91%. Tax equivalent net interest income decreased $293 thousand, or 0.92%, compared to the same quarter of 2024.
• Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $1.06 million, or 3.52%, compared to the same quarter of 2024. The increase is attributable to a reduction in the allowance for loan losses driven by a $84.78 million loan balance reduction from the December 31, 2024, balance of $2.42 billion.
• Noninterest income increased approximately $437 thousand, or 4.18%, when compared to the same quarter of 2024. The increase is attributable to an increase in service charges on deposits of $859 thousand, or 23.46%, an increase in wealth management fees of $300 thousand, or 28.01%, and a decrease in other operating income of $872 thousand, or 43.12%. Noninterest expense increased $2.10 million, or 8.69%, when compared to the same period of 2024. The increase is attributable to increases in salaries and benefits of $1.22 million, or 9.31%, service fees of $267 thousand, or 10.86%, and merger expense of $787 thousand. The merger expense is related to the forthcoming merger with Hometown Bank, with an anticipated completion date of January 2026.
• Annualized return on average assets ("ROA") was 1.53% for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 1.60% for the same period of 2024. ROA for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was 1.52% compared to 1.60% for the same period of 2024. Annualized return on average common equity ("ROE") was 9.58% for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 10.04% for the same period of 2024. ROE was 9.64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 10.08% for the same period of 2024. Additionally, return on average tangible common equity continues to remain strong at 13.82% for the third quarter of 2025.

Balance Sheet and Asset Quality

• Consolidated assets totaled $3.19 billion on September 30, 2025.

Deposits decreased $60.65 million, or 2.25%, which was due to a decrease in interest and noninterest-bearing demand deposits and declining higher-rate time deposits. Stockholder equity decreased $15.67 million, or 2.98%, primarily due to the payment of a special cash dividend in the first quarter of 2025. The net effect of these balance sheet changes resulted in an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $50.25 million, or 13.31%.
• The Company's average loan-to-deposits ratio of 89.38%, on September 30, 2025, continues to represent a stable utilization of deposit funding.
• The Company did not repurchase any common shares during the third quarter of 2025. However, 50,338 shares have been repurchased in 2025 at an aggregate cost of $1.85 million. In comparison, during the third quarter of 2024, the Company purchased 12,854 common shares for $469 thousand, contributing to a total of 257,294 shares repurchased in the first nine months of 2024 at a total cost of $8.72 million.
• Total non-performing assets as of September 30, 2025, were $16.90 million, compared with $20.54 million as of December 31, 2024, and $20.28 million as of September 30, 2024. The Company has realized a declining trend in non-performing assets since December 31, 2024.
• Non-performing loans to total loans decreased to 0.71%; a 0.11% reduction when compared with the same quarter of 2024. The Company experienced net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2025 of $1.42 million, or 0.24% of annualized average loans, compared to net charge-offs of $1.13 million, or 0.18%, of annualized average loans for the same period in 2024.
• The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.36% on September 30, 2025, compared to 1.44% on December 31, 2024, and 1.44% on September 30, 2024.
• Book value per share on September 30, 2025, was $ 27.89, a decrease of $0.84 from year-end 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to the payment of the special cash dividend in the first quarter of 2025 of $2.07 per share totaling approximately $37.93 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures that provide useful information for financial and operational decision making, evaluating trends, and comparing financial results to other financial institutions. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this news release include “tangible book value per common share,” “return on average tangible common equity,” “adjusted earnings,” “adjusted diluted earnings per share,” “adjusted return on average assets,” “adjusted return on average common equity,” “adjusted return on average tangible common equity,” and certain financial measures presented on a fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis. FTE basis is calculated using the federal statutory income tax rate of 21%. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a reconciliation to that comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the attached tables to this press release. While the Company believes certain non-GAAP financial measures enhance the understanding of its business and performance, they are supplemental and not a substitute for, or more important than, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to those reported by other financial institutions.
