Commercial Bancgroup, Inc. reported second-quarter 2026 net income of $10.2 million, or $0.75 per common share, up from $8.9 million, or $0.73 per share, in the second quarter of 2025. Core net income was also $10.2 million, or $0.75 per share. Pre-tax income reached $12.9 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 11.6%, driven by a $1.1 million (5.3%) rise in net interest income after provision for credit losses and a $0.4 million (19.2%) increase in noninterest income, partially offset by modestly higher noninterest expenses.

Total assets were $2.4 billion as of June 30, 2026, with loans of $1.9 billion, up $149.0 million, or 8.3%, from June 30, 2025. Deposits were $1.9 billion, including $428.4 million of noninterest-bearing demand deposits. Asset quality remained solid, with nonperforming assets at 0.31% of total assets and the allowance for credit losses at 0.96% of total loans. Profitability metrics included return on average assets of 1.78%, return on average tangible common equity of 14.26%, net interest margin of 4.06%, and an efficiency ratio of 44.99%, while regulatory capital ratios comfortably exceeded well-capitalized thresholds.

Quarterly Dividend per Share $0.12 Cash dividend declared, payable September 30, 2026 to shareholders of record on September 15, 2026
net interest margin financial
"Net interest margin was 4.06% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
nonperforming assets financial
"Asset quality declined slightly with nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.31%"
Nonperforming assets are loans or investments that are not generating expected payments or returns because the borrower has fallen behind on payments or the investment has lost value. They matter to investors because a high level of nonperforming assets can indicate financial trouble for a bank or institution, potentially affecting its stability and profitability.
tangible common equity financial
"Tangible common equity to tangible assets was 12.33% as of June 30, 2026"
Tangible common equity is the portion of a company’s net worth that belongs to ordinary shareholders after removing intangible items (like goodwill or patents) and any preferred claims; it’s often expressed on a per-share basis. Think of it as the hard, sellable value left for common owners if you removed non-physical assets and paid off debts—investors use it to judge how much real cushion a company has and whether the stock might be under- or over-valued.
core net income financial
"Core net income was $10.2 million, or $0.75 per share, for the second quarter of 2026"
Core net income is the company’s profit after taxes from its ordinary, ongoing business activities, excluding one-time gains, losses or unusual items. Think of it like a household’s regular salary minus one-off windfalls or repairs — it shows the steady earnings the business can be expected to produce. Investors use it to judge the company’s underlying performance and to compare profitability across periods without distortion from rare events.
efficiency ratio financial
"The efficiency ratio was 44.99% and the core efficiency ratio was also 44.99% in Q2 2026"
A measure of how much a company spends to produce each dollar of revenue, usually shown as operating expenses divided by revenue and expressed as a percentage. Think of it as a household’s budget: a lower percentage means more of each dollar earned stays as profit, while a higher number means costs are eating into returns. Investors use it to judge cost control and compare how efficiently companies turn revenue into earnings, especially in banks and financial firms.
Net income $10.2 million compared with $8.9 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2025
Basic EPS $0.75 compared with $0.73 in the quarter ended June 30, 2025
Pre-tax income $12.9 million up $1.3 million, or 11.6%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2025
Net interest income after provision $21.1 million increased by $1.1 million, or 5.3%, from the prior-year quarter
Noninterest income $2.7 million increased by $0.4 million, or 19.2%, from the prior-year quarter

Commercial Bancgroup, Inc. Announces Results for the Second Quarter 2026

 

HARROGATE, TN –July 27, 2026 – Commercial Bancgroup, Inc. (“Commercial” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CBK), the parent company of Commercial Bank (the “Bank”), today announced net income of $10.2 million, or $0.75 per common share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to net income of $8.9 million, or $0.73 per common share, for the second quarter of 2025. Core (net of any one-time adjustments) net income was $10.2 million, or $0.75 per common share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to core net income of $9.1 million, or $0.75 per common share, for the second quarter of 2025.

 

Prior to Commercial’s initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock in October 2025, Commercial had three classes of common stock outstanding: common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock. On September 18, 2025, Commercial’s charter was amended and restated. The Company’s amended and restated charter provided for, among other things:

 

effective upon the filing of the amended and restated charter, the reclassification and conversion of (i) each outstanding share of Class B common stock into 1.15 shares of common stock and (ii) each outstanding share of Class C common stock into 1.05 shares of common stock (collectively, the “Stock Reclassification”); and

 

effective immediately following the Stock Reclassification, a 250-for-1 forward stock split in respect of the outstanding shares of our common stock (the “Stock Split”).

 

Our financial statements, including earnings per share and book value per share, reflect the stock Reclassification and Stock Split retroactively. Because the IPO occurred after September 30, 2025, the financial impacts of the IPO are reflected for the fourth quarter of 2025 in the financial statements presented in this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This press release contains certain financial measure(s) that are not financial measure(s) recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and, therefore, are considered non-GAAP financial measure(s) and should be read along with the accompanying reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measure(s) to GAAP financial measure(s). We use non-GAAP financial measures, certain of which are included in this press release, both to explain our operating results to shareholders and the investment community and to evaluate, analyze, and manage our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a better understanding of ongoing operations, enhance the comparability of results across periods, and enable investors to better understand our performance. Our management believes that the “core” metrics described below and used in this press release assist users of the Company’s financial statements with their financial analysis period-over-period as they exclude certain non-recurring items. However, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation and should be considered supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, the manner in which the non-GAAP financial measure(s) contained in this press release are calculated may differ from the manner in which measures with similar names are calculated by other companies. You should understand how other companies calculate their financial measures similar to, or with names similar to, the non-GAAP financial measure(s) contained in this press release when comparing such financial measures.

 

The non-GAAP financial measures in this press release include the following:

 

Core deposits. We calculate core deposits by excluding jumbo time deposits (deposits greater than or equal to $250,000) from total deposits.

 

Core net income. We define core net income as net income plus non-recurring expenses, net of the related tax effect of non-recurring expenses.

 

Core net income per share. We define core net income per share as core net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding.

 

Core ROAA. We define core ROAA as core net income divided by average assets, with average assets based upon the average daily balance of total assets in each period.

 

Core return on average tangible common equity. We define core return on average tangible common equity as core net income divided by total average shareholders’ equity less average intangible assets (goodwill and core deposit intangibles).

 

Pre-tax pre-provision net income. We define pre-tax pre-provision net income as pre-tax net income plus provision for loan and lease losses.

 

Core efficiency ratio. We define core efficiency ratio as noninterest expenses (less non-recurring expenses), divided by operating revenue (net interest plus total noninterest income). This ratio is an indicator used by our management to assess operating efficiencies and is intended to demonstrate how efficiently our management is controlling expenses relative to generating revenues on our core activities.

 

Pre-tax, pre-provision ROAAWe define pre-tax, pre-provision ROAA as pre-tax, pre-provision net income divided by average assets calculated based upon the average daily balance of total assets in each year.

 

Tangible assets. We define tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets.

 

Return on average tangible common equity ROATCEWe define return on average tangible common equity ROATC as net income divided by average common equity calculated based as total average shareholders’ equity less average intangible assets net of tax benefit.

 

Tangible book value per shareWe define tangible book value per share as our tangible common equity, which is shareholders’ equity reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

 

Tangible common equity to tangible assetsWe define tangible common equity to tangible assets as tangible common equity divided by tangible assets calculated based as total assets net of intangible assets.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains certain financial measures that are not measures recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP") and, therefore, are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The Appendix to this presentation includes reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We use non-GAAP financial measures, certain of which are included in this presentation, both to explain our operating results to shareholders and the investment community and to evaluate, analyze, and manage our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a better understanding of ongoing operations, enhance the comparability of results across periods, and enable investors to better understand our performance. However, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation and should be considered supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, the manner in which the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this presentation are calculated may differ from the manner in which measures with similar names are calculated by other companies. You should understand how other companies calculate their financial measures similar to, or with names similar to, the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this presentation when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.
