Reports Q4 revenue $16.52M, two estimates $18.25M. "Operational results were significantly stronger in 2025 than 2024, reflecting the execution of successful strategic initiatives that have strengthened our organization over that time. While we continue to aim higher, these results reflect the hard work our team has put in throughout the year, " said Benjamin Bochnowski, CEO. "Actions taken in the fourth quarter are expected to further enhance our financial position, including steps to optimize our balance sheet, reduce risk, increase net interest margin, and improve efficiency. This included a small securities repositioning, where the Bank sold $26.6 million in primarily municipal securities, generating a $1.6 million pre-tax reduction to our posted fourth quarter results. Credit quality also remains stable, and the current rate environment remains supportive of continued progress in operational results in 2026."

Reports Q1 total revenue $15.54M, consensus $16.25M. Reports Q1 net interest margin 2.81% vs 2.65% in Q4. Reports tax-adjusted net interest margin 2.95% vs 2.79% in Q4. Non-performing loans decreased to $12.5M or 0.84% of total loans, down from $13.7M or 0.91% last quarter. Tangible book value per share $29.55 vs $29.48 last quarter. "Margin continued to expand in the first quarter as deposits repriced lower, continuing the trend we have seen over the past year. With economic uncertainty potentially increasing, we are maintaining our focus on capital and credit quality. Non-performing loans improved in the first quarter, and our Provision for Credit Loss was driven by model-related factors that reflect the broader trends we see in the economy. Seasonal and timing factors impacted operating expense and non-interest income, and we see opportunity in both areas as the year moves forward," said Benjamin Bochnowski, CEO.
