Net Income

  • Net income was $6.2 million for nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as a result of an increase in net interest income along with a decrease in noninterest expenses primarily due to merger-related expenses for the 2024 period offset by a decrease in noninterest income.

  • Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $6.7 million as compared to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

  • Net income was $2.2 million for three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as a result of an increase in net interest income along with a decrease in noninterest expenses.

  • Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $2.4 million as compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Results of Operations

  • Net interest income was $22.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $21.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was due to an increase in interest income on loans and interest-earning deposits offset by increases in deposit costs and a decrease in interest income on investment securities.

  • Net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased one basis point to 3.53% from 3.54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

  • Noninterest income decreased $246,000 to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to lower service charges on deposit accounts and the absence of a gain on the sale of other real estate recorded in 2024.

  • Non-interest expense decreased $1.7 million to $16.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the 2024 period, due mainly to a decrease in other expenses, and specifically merger-related expenses.

  • Net interest income was $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was due to an increase in interest income on loans and interest-earning deposits, partially offset by increases in deposit costs and a decrease in interest income on investment securities.

  • Net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased to 3.49% from 3.52% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in the margin relates to a decrease in our yield on interest earning deposits, which was offset by decreases in yields on our interest-bearing liabilities.

  • Noninterest income increased $22,000 to $588,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

  • Non-interest expense decreased $275,000 to $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the 2024 period, due mainly to a decrease in other fees.

Financial Condition

  • Total assets increased $58.4 million to $925.2 million at September 30, 2025 from $866.8 million at December 31, 2024, as we experienced loan growth and an increase in interest earning deposits which was funded from growth in our deposits.

  • Total gross loans increased $15.4 million to $729.5 million at September 30, 2025 from $714.1 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was due to steady loan demand in construction and consumer loans, and commercial loans secured by real estate - owner occupied.

  • Non-owner occupied office loans totaled $41.1 million at September 30, 2025; the average LTV on these loans is 45.5%, including

  • Borrowings decreased by $4.8 million to $54.0 million at September 30, 2025 compared to $58.8 million at December 31, 2024 as an advance from the Bank Term Funding program was repaid in full in the first quarter of 2025.
