Insights

First Mid delivered record EPS, strong balance-sheet growth and maintained solid capital and credit metrics.

First Mid posted Q1 2026 net income of $26.3M and adjusted earnings of $28.4M, with diluted EPS at $1.06 and adjusted EPS at $1.14. Net interest income rose to $70.8M, up 19.1% year over year, and net interest margin improved to 3.78%.

The closing of the Two Rivers acquisition materially expanded the franchise, adding $871.4M in loans and $1.04B in deposits. Total loans reached $6.94B and deposits $7.55B, while adjusted efficiency ratio improved to 55.86%, indicating good cost control despite integration expenses.

Asset quality showed higher non-performing loans at $44.1M, partly from acquired credits and agricultural downgrades, but the allowance for credit losses of $86.8M covers 196.98% of non-performing loans.

Tangible book value per share $30.04 As of March 31, 2026, up 2.1% in the quarter
net interest margin financial
"Net interest margin, tax equivalent*, was 3.78% for the first quarter of 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.
allowance for credit losses financial
"the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) ended the period at $86.8 million"
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
non-performing loans financial
"At the end of the first quarter, non-performing loans totaled $44.1 million"
Loans on a bank’s books where the borrower has stopped making scheduled payments for a prolonged period (commonly about 90 days), so the lender no longer expects full repayment on time. Think of them as overdue IOUs that may never be paid back; a rising level of such loans weakens a lender’s earnings and balance sheet, signals greater credit risk in the economy, and can hurt investors through lower dividends, loan losses, or declines in the lender’s stock value.
tangible book value per common share financial
"Tangible book value per common share* increased 2.1% during the quarter to $30.04"
A per-share measure of the company’s tangible net asset value available to common shareholders after removing intangible items (like goodwill, brand value, and patents) and any preferred shareholder claims. Think of it as the amount each common share would get if the company sold only its physical and financial assets and settled priority claims. Investors use it as a conservative baseline to judge whether a stock is cheaply priced relative to the company’s hard-asset backing.
efficiency ratio financial
"The Company’s efficiency ratio*, as adjusted in the non-GAAP reconciliation table herein, for the first quarter of 2026 was 55.86%"
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.
core deposit intangible financial
"The core deposit intangible fair value mark was $21.2 million."
Core deposit intangible is an accounting asset that represents the value of customer deposits a bank gains, usually through an acquisition, because those deposits provide a stable, low-cost source of funding. Think of it like paying for a loyal customer list that will save the bank money over time; it is written down over several years and affects reported earnings and the apparent cost of acquiring new funds, so investors watch it to understand future profitability and capital impact.

First Mid Bancshares, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2026 Results

MATTOON, Ill., April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Mid Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FMBH) (the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Highlights

  • Net income of $26.3 million, or $1.06 diluted EPS
  • Adjusted quarterly net income* of $28.4 million, or $1.14 diluted EPS
  • Closed on the acquisition of Two Rivers Financial Group, Inc. (“Two Rivers”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Two Rivers Bank & Trust (“Two Rivers Bank”), adding $871.4 million in loans, net of the interest rate fair value marks and $1.04 billion in deposits, net of the time deposit marks, at closing
  • Total loans of $6.94 billion, quarterly increase of $932.9 million
  • Total deposits of $7.55 billion, quarterly increase of $1.15 billion
  • Tangible book value per common share* increased 2.1% during the quarter to $30.04
  • Net interest margin, tax equivalent* expanded to 3.78%, quarterly increase of 5 basis points
  • Repurchased 12,686 shares and the Board of Directors declared regular quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share

“We are pleased to start the year with such strong financial results, highlighted by record quarterly earnings per share and net income. We continue to build on the momentum of 2025 and are excited to welcome the new customers and talented employees following our acquisition of Two Rivers. The integration efforts for the merger of the banks are progressing as expected, and we remain confident that the strategic combination will enhance shareholder value as we continue to diversify our footprint into Iowa,” said Joseph Dively, Chairman and CEO.

“The quarter reflected solid organic growth in both loans and deposits in what has historically been a seasonally soft period. The team remains diligent when pricing both sides of the balance sheet and, with the continued benefit from the repricing of our loan and investment portfolios, delivered an increase to net interest margin despite the anticipated dilution from Two Rivers. In addition, we were able to take advantage of our strong capital position and market volatility during the quarter by repurchasing $0.5 million of shares. We remain committed to deploying capital where it generates the highest long-term return for our shareholders,” said Matthew Smith, President.

Two Rivers Update
The Company closed on its acquisition of Two Rivers on February 28th, 2026 and has filed its application to merge Two Rivers Bank with and into First Mid Bank & Trust. Pending regulatory approval, the merger is scheduled for completion late in the second quarter.

With the closing of the acquisition, the Company added approximately $1.04 billion in deposits, net of time deposit marks and $871.4 million in loans, net of the interest rate fair value marks. The purchase accounting fair value marks included a total discount to loans of $35.6 million, of which $10.8 million was recognized for the “Day One” allowance for credit losses. The valuation marks included a discount to long-term debt of $0.8 million and time deposits of $0.1 million. The core deposit intangible fair value mark was $21.2 million. A customer list intangible was recognized in relation to Two Rivers Bank’s trust business totaling approximately $5.0 million.

Immediately following the acquisition, the Company sold all of Two Rivers Bank’s investment portfolio for proceeds totaling $168.2 million. A total of $105.0 million of these funds were reinvested during March at higher rates, with the remaining balance retained in cash.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2026 was $70.8 million, an increase of $4.3 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by loan growth and repricing benefits combined with disciplined management of funding costs. Two Rivers contributed $3.1 million of net interest income for March. Accretion income for the first quarter was $3.4 million, an increase of $0.8 million compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to higher accelerated accretion from acquired loans including the addition of Two Rivers.

In comparison to the first quarter of 2025, net interest income increased $11.4 million, or 19.1%. Interest income was higher by $13.1 million, inclusive of an increase in accretion income of $0.5 million. Interest expense was higher by $1.7 million compared to the first quarter of last year primarily from higher overall deposit balances and an increase in expenses on other borrowings including those acquired from Two Rivers.

Net Interest Margin
Net interest margin, tax equivalent*, was 3.78% for the first quarter of 2026 representing an increase of 5 basis points over the prior quarter. The yield on earning assets improved by 1 basis point during the first quarter while the average cost of funds saw a decline of 4 basis points.

Loan Portfolio
Total loans ended the quarter at $6.94 billion, representing an increase of $932.9 million. Excluding the Two Rivers acquired loans, loan balances increased $65.3 million, or 1.1% for the quarter. The increase for the quarter excluding Two Rivers was primarily in commercial real estate and agricultural operating loans. The remainder of the loan segment increases were primarily driven by the addition of the Two Rivers portfolio.

Asset Quality
Asset quality was solid for the quarter as the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) ended the period at $86.8 million and the ACL to total loans ratio was 1.25%, which was in line with the fourth quarter of 2025. Two Rivers was assigned a “Day One” ACL of $10.8 million. In addition to the overall ACL, an unearned discount of $44.9 million remains at quarter end. Provision expense was recorded in the amount of $2.6 million during the quarter with growth in the loan portfolio and net charge-offs of $1.5 million.

The Company continued to see credit risk rating normalization during the quarter from historical lows, primarily in the agricultural segment. While cashflows in this segment continue to be pressured, our borrowers’ balance sheets overall remain strong with equity from real estate and equipment. Given the balance sheet strength and the active management of the portfolio, the Company does not currently expect significant losses from the agricultural credit downgrades. At the end of the first quarter, non-performing loans totaled $44.1 million, an increase of $12.1 million during the quarter. The Two Rivers portfolio accounted for $11.0 million of this increase. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.63%, which was an increase from the prior quarter primarily from the addition of Two Rivers. The ACL to non-performing loans ratio was 197%, a decrease from the prior quarter primarily from the additional non-performing loans added from Two Rivers. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets increased from 0.44% in the prior quarter to 0.53%. Special mention loans increased by $59.1 million to $179.6 million. The addition of Two Rivers added $13.2 million of special mention loans. The additional increase of $45.9 million was primarily driven by agricultural credit downgrades. Substandard loans increased $29.2 million to $109.1 million. The addition of Two Rivers added $16.6 million of substandard loans. The additional increase of $12.6 million was primarily from five different relationships, three of which are agricultural credits totaling $9.4 million.

Deposits
Total deposits ended the quarter at $7.55 billion, which represented an increase of $1.15 billion from the prior quarter. Excluding the Two Rivers acquired deposits, deposits grew $100.4 million during the quarter with interest bearing demand deposits driving the increase with a seasonal inflow at quarter-end. The average cost of funds for the quarter ended at 1.67%, a decrease of 4 basis points from the end of the previous quarter.

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2026 was $26.4 million compared to $21.7 million in the prior quarter and $24.9 million in the first quarter of 2025. Two Rivers contributed $0.9 million in non-interest income for the month of March. The Company recorded a write-down of other investments during the quarter totaling $0.5 million.

Wealth management revenues for the quarter were $6.4 million, which was a decrease of $0.2 million from the prior quarter and an increase of $0.6 million from the first quarter of 2025. Two Rivers wealth management contributed $0.4 million of wealth management revenues for the month of March (included in the $0.9 million referenced above). Overall Ag Services revenue was $2.5 million in the period compared to $2.9 million in the prior quarter and $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. Insurance commissions for the quarter were a record high of $10.8 million, which was an increase of $3.4 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 and $0.9 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. The first quarter includes contingent revenues on the insurance book of business and the year-over-year increase was driven by continued organic growth and performance of acquired books of business.

Non-Interest Expenses
Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $60.7 million compared to $55.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $54.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. During the quarter, acquisition-related expenses related to Two Rivers totaled $2.1 million. Two Rivers added $2.8 million in total non-interest expenses post-acquisition. Amortization of intangible assets increased $0.3 million from the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily from the addition of the Two Rivers intangible assets.

The Company’s efficiency ratio*, as adjusted in the non-GAAP reconciliation table herein, for the first quarter of 2026 was 55.86% compared to 57.55% in the prior quarter and 58.88% for the same period last year.

Capital Levels and Dividend
The Company’s capital levels remained strong and above the “well capitalized” levels. Capital levels ended the period as follows:

Total capital to risk-weighted assets15.48%
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets13.57%
Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets13.10%
Leverage ratio10.62%


Tangible book value per common share* increased $0.62, or 2.1% during the first quarter of 2026. The increase was driven by earnings. An increase of $7.4 million related to the unrealized loss position in the Company’s investment portfolio provided headwinds to this increase in tangible book value per common share.

The Company’s Board of Directors approved its regular quarterly dividend of $0.25 payable on June 1st, 2026 to the shareholders of record as of May 15th, 2026.
