Great Southern Bancorp, Inc. reported preliminary second-quarter 2026 net income of $15.8 million, or $1.43 per diluted share, down from $19.8 million, or $1.72, a year earlier, largely due to $2.1 million of one-time branch consolidation and severance costs. Excluding these items, non-GAAP net income was $17.4 million and EPS was $1.57, with non-GAAP annualized ROE of 10.82% and ROA of 1.24%.
Net interest income declined modestly to $49.5 million, but the net interest margin improved to 3.76% from 3.68% as funding costs fell and the benefit from a terminated swap in 2025 rolled off. Non-interest income slipped to $7.4 million, mainly because 2Q25 benefited from $1.1 million of tax credit-related income, while non-interest expense rose to $38.2 million on the one-time charges.
Total loans were $4.38 billion and deposits $4.30 billion at June 30, 2026, both lower than year-end 2025 as elevated loan payoffs and reduced brokered deposits trimmed the balance sheet. Asset quality remained strong, with non-performing assets of $9.4 million (0.17% of assets) and an allowance equal to 1.46% of loans. Capital ratios were high, including a tangible common equity ratio of 11.47%. The consolidation of nine branches and elimination of 66 positions is expected to improve annual pre-tax income by $2.3–$2.7 million starting in the fourth quarter of 2026.
