Sentiment and the balance of points

Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Core net income financial
"Core net income was $10.9 million"
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.

"Net interest income after provision for credit losses"
Nonperforming assets to total assets financial
"Nonperforming assets to total assets were 0.31%"
Tangible book value per share financial
"Tangible book value per share, reported"
Tangible book value per share is the company's total physical and financial assets minus its liabilities and intangible items (like goodwill and brand value), divided by the number of outstanding shares. It gives investors a conservative, per‑share estimate of what would remain if the business sold only its hard assets and paid its debts—useful for judging whether a stock is priced above or below its underlying, tangible worth, like valuing a property by its bricks and cash rather than its reputation.

Exhibit 99.1

 

 

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

 

HARROGATE, TN – October 26, 2026 – Commercial Bancgroup, Inc. (“Commercial” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CBK), the parent company of Commercial Bank (the “Bank”), today announced net income of $10.9 million, or $0.79 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2026, compared to net income of $9.5 million, or $0.77 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2025. Core (net of any one-time adjustments) net income was $10.9 million, or $0.79 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2026, compared to core net income of $9.5 million, or $0.77 per diluted common share, for the third 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 the Company’s common stock (the “Stock Split”).

 

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

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This press release contains certain financial measures that are not financial measures recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and, therefore, are considered non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. 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 measures 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 measures 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 $250,000) and brokered deposits 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 diluted. We define core net income per share diluted as core net income divided by weighted average diluted 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 ROAE. We define core ROAE as core net income divided by average shareholders’ equity, with average shareholders’ equity based upon the average daily balance of total shareholders’ equity in each period.

 

●Core ROATCE. We define core ROATCE as core net income divided by total average shareholders’ equity less average intangible assets (goodwill and core deposit intangibles) net of tax impact.

 

●Pre-tax pre-provision net income (PPNI). We define pre-tax pre-provision net income as pre-tax net income plus provision for credit losses.

 

●Core efficiency ratio. We define core efficiency ratio as noninterest expenses (less non-recurring expenses), divided by operating revenue (net interest income 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 ROAA. We 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 period.

 

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

 

●ROATCE. We define ROATCE as net income divided by total average shareholders’ equity less average intangible assets (goodwill and core deposit intangibles) net of tax impact.

 

●Tangible book value per share. We define tangible book value per share as our tangible common equity, which is shareholders’ equity reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by total shares outstanding.

 

●Tangible common equity to tangible assets. We define tangible common equity to tangible assets as tangible common equity divided by tangible assets calculated 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.
