Earnings headlines have often been followed by modest moves, with one notable selloff on a strong quarter; most non-earnings news drew small positive reactions.
Over the last six months, Old Second Bancorp has combined steady earnings with balance sheet growth and acquisition activity. Q2 and Q3 2025 earnings showed solid core performance but mixed market reactions, while Q4 2024 results reflected higher credit costs. Integration of Evergreen Bank Group on Oct 20, 2025 and sponsor finance deals supported growth and diversification. Today’s Q4 2025 earnings, with higher net income and adjusted net income, build on this acquisition-driven expansion trend.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement highlights strong Q4 2025 performance, with higher net income, solid adjusted earnings and resilient net interest margin, all while integrating recent acquisitions. Balance sheet growth, tangible equity gains and asset quality metrics provide important context. Investors should focus on future trends in credit provisions, noninterest expense, and loan growth, as well as how consistently Old Second maintains returns and capital ratios at or above the levels disclosed for this quarter.

Asset Quality & Earning Assets
Nonperforming loans, comprised of nonaccrual loans plus loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, totaled
$52.8 million at December 31, 2025,$48.0 million at September 30, 2025, and$30.3 million at December 31, 2024. Nonperforming loans, as a percent of total loans, was1.0% at December 31, 2025,0.9% at September 30, 2025, and0.8% at December 31, 2024. The$4.8 million increase in the fourth quarter of 2025 for nonperforming loans is driven by a$13.8 million increase in nonaccrual loans due to inflows of$18.3 million , primarily related to two commercial real estate relationships totaling$14.9 million , partially offset by outflows of$4.5 million , which include$2.4 million of loans paid off and$2.1 million of partial principal reductions from payments and partial charge-offs on loans. The increase to nonaccrual loans was partially offset by a$9.0 million decrease to loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, primarily comprised of two legacy relationships, one that was paid off in the fourth quarter of 2025 and another that was downgraded to nonaccrual.Total loans were
$5.25 billion at December 31, 2025, reflecting a decrease of$12.4 million compared to September 30, 2025 and an increase of$1.27 billion compared to December 31, 2024. The significant increase from December 31, 2024 is primarily driven by the$1.19 billion of loans acquired in our acquisition of Bancorp Financial. The decline in loans from September 30, 2025 is influenced by the seasonal reductions within the powersport portfolio. Based on historical data, the powersport portfolio shows much higher origination volume from March through September as compared to the remainder of the year. Excluding loans purchased from the Bancorp Financial acquisition, organic loan growth, net of paydowns, totaled$76.1 million , or1.9% , compared to December 31, 2024 total loans. Average loans (including loans held-for-sale) for the fourth quarter of 2025 totaled$5.28 billion , reflecting an increase of$61.3 million from the third quarter of 2025, and an increase of$1.28 billion from the fourth quarter of 2024.Available-for-sale securities totaled
$1.09 billion at December 31, 2025, compared to$1.16 billion at September 30, 2025 and$1.16 billion at December 31, 2024. The unrealized mark to market loss on securities totaled$43.1 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to$47.7 million as of September 30, 2025, and$68.6 million as of December 31, 2024, due to market interest rate fluctuations as well as changes year over year in the composition of the securities portfolio. During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, we had security purchases of$7.8 million and security maturities, calls and paydowns of$78.9 million , compared to security purchases of$20.6 million , security sales of$7.5 million , excluding the sale of Bancorp Financial's$117.6 million available-for-sale securities portfolio after the acquisition closed, and security maturities, calls and paydowns of$41.1 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2025. During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, we had security purchases of$84.9 million and$101.2 million of maturities, calls, and paydowns. We may continue to buy and sell strategically identified securities as opportunities arise.
Non-GAAP Presentations
Management has disclosed in this earnings release certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and measure our performance, including the presentation of adjusted net income, net interest income and net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis, and our efficiency ratio calculations on a taxable equivalent basis. The net interest margin fully taxable equivalent is calculated by dividing net interest income on a tax equivalent basis by average earning assets for the period. Consistent with industry practice, management has disclosed the efficiency ratio including and excluding certain items, which is discussed in the noninterest expense presentation on page 8 found at www.oldsecond.com, under the Investor Relations page.
We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics on a fully taxable equivalent basis. We believe these measures provide investors with information regarding balance sheet profitability, and we believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing, and comparing past, present and future periods.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for GAAP financial measures, and we strongly encourage investors to review the GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release and not to place undue reliance upon any single financial measure. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. The tables beginning on page 18 found at www.oldsecond.com, under the Investor Relations page, provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.
