Chief Executive Officer, Brian Argrett commented, “Our second quarter results reflect continued progress in executing our growth strategy while maintaining a disciplined approach to credit, capital, and liquidity management. During the first six months of 2026, total loans increased $110.0 million, or 10.8%, and total deposits increased $197.0 million, or 21.5%, providing additional capacity to support our customers and communities. Operating performance continued to improve during the quarter, with pre-provision net revenue increasing 82.2% to $3.0 million, reflecting the benefits of balance sheet growth and disciplined expense management."
"The diversification and growth of our funding base supported strong loan growth while maintaining a solid liquidity position. Credit quality remains a key area of focus for management. During the quarter, we established a specific reserve on a non-accrual loan, which increased provision expense. This action reflects our disciplined approach to risk management, while overall portfolio performance remained stable and our capital position continues to provide significant capacity to absorb potential losses.”
"I would like to thank our employees, customers, stockholders, and community partners for their continued trust and support as we work to create long-term value for all stakeholders."
Quarterly Results of Operations
-
Net Interest Income totaled $9.5 million, representing an increase of $437 thousand, or 4.8%, from net interest income of $9.1 million for the first quarter of 2026. The increase resulted from a $1.6 million increase in interest income, primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in interest income on loans receivable as a result of an increase in the average balance of loans receivable and a $597 thousand increase in interest income on available-for-sale securities due to an increase in the average balance of available-for-sale securities. These increases in net interest income were partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in interest expense due to a $1.0 million increase in interest expense on deposits, as a result of an increase in the average deposits balance, and a $162 thousand increase in interest expense on borrowings due to an increase in the average borrowing balance.
The net interest margin decreased to 2.65% for the second quarter of 2026 from 2.75% for the first quarter of 2026, due to an increase in the cost of funds, which increased to 3.02% for the second quarter of 2026 from 2.91% for the first quarter of 2026.
-
Provision for Credit Losses was $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $200 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026. This increase was primarily due to the establishment of a specific reserve on a non-accrual loan, in addition to loan growth. Although a specific reserve was established during the quarter, broader portfolio metrics remained relatively stable, with non-performing assets representing 0.71% of total assets and non-accrual loans at 0.98% of total loans.
The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) increased to $10.8 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $9.4 million as of December 31, 2025.
- Non-interest Income was $950 thousand for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $589 thousand for the first quarter of 2026, representing an increase of $361 thousand, or 61.3%. The increase was due to a $450 thousand loan fee related to the New Market Tax Credit allocation earned in the second quarter of 2026.
- Non-interest Expense was $7.5 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2026, representing a decrease of $539 thousand, or 6.7%. The decrease was primarily due to a $633 thousand decrease in compensation and benefits expense and a $136 thousand decrease in information services expense, partially offset by a $213 thousand increase in loan expenses.
- Income Tax Expense was $330 thousand for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $282 thousand for the first quarter of 2026. The increase in tax expense reflected an increase of $56 thousand in pre-tax income between the two periods. The effective tax rate was 22.25% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 19.76% for the first quarter of 2026.
Year-to-Date Results of Operations
-
Net Interest Income totaled $18.5 million for the first six months of 2026, representing an increase of $2.7 million, or 17.4%, from net interest income of $15.8 million for the first six months of 2025. The increase resulted from a $4.8 million increase in interest income, primarily due to a $3.4 million increase in interest income on available-for-sale securities, due to an increase in the average rate and balance of available-for-sale securities, and a $1.7 million increase in interest income on loans receivable as a result of an increase in the average balance of loans receivable. Further, interest on borrowings decreased $1.8 million due to decreases in the average rate and balance of borrowings. These increases in net interest income were partially offset by a $3.9 million increase in interest expense on deposits due to an increase in the average deposit rate and balance.
The net interest margin increased to 2.70% for the first six months of 2026 from 2.61% for the first six months of 2025, due to an increase in the average rate earned on interest-earning assets, which increased to 4.95% for the first six months of 2026 from 4.82% for the first six months of 2025, and a decrease in the cost of funds, which decreased to 2.97% for the first six months of 2026 from 3.07% for the first six months of 2025.
- Provision for Credit Losses was $1.7 million for the first six months of 2026, compared to $1.5 million for the first six months of 2025.
- Non-interest Income was $1.5 million for the first six months of 2026, compared to $643 thousand for the first six months of 2025, representing an increase of $896 thousand, or 139.3%. The increase was primarily due to $494 thousand of additional earnings on bank owned life insurance and a $450 thousand loan fee related to the New Market Tax Credit allocation earned in the first six months of 2026.
- Non-interest Expense was $15.5 million for the first six months of 2026, compared to $17.7 million for the first six months of 2025, representing a decrease of $2.2 million, or 12.6%. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.9 million operational loss incurred in the first six months of 2025 as well as a $557 thousand decrease in compensation and benefits expense and a $331 thousand decrease in professional services expense. These decreases in non-interest expenses were partially offset by an increase of $264 thousand in information services expenses and a $264 thousand increase in loan expenses.
- Income Tax Expense/Benefit was income tax expense of $612 thousand for the first six months of 2026 compared to income tax benefit of $790 thousand for the first six months of 2025. The increase in tax expense reflected an increase of $5.6 million in pre-tax income between the two periods. The effective tax rate was 21.03% for the first six months of 2026, compared to 28.87% for the first six months of 2025.
Financial Condition Review
- Total Assets increased by $218.1 million at June 30, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025, reflecting increases in net loans of $110.0 million, securities available-for-sale of $70.2 million and cash and cash equivalents of $38.4 million. The increase in net loans was due to loan growth and loan purchases and the increase in securities available-for-sale was due to purchases of securities available-for-sale.
- Loans Held for Investment, Net of the ACL, increased by $110.0 million to $1.1 billion at June 30, 2026, compared to $1.0 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase was due to loan purchases and growth.
- Deposits increased by $197.0 million, or 21.5%, to $1.1 billion at June 30, 2026, from $917.6 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in deposits was attributable to increases of $186.8 million in savings deposits, $50.2 million in certificates of deposit accounts, and $9.2 million in Certificate of Deposit Registry Service (“CDARS”) deposits (CDARS deposits are similar to ICS deposits, but involve certificates of deposit, instead of money market accounts), partially offset by decreases of $42.9 million in liquid deposits (demand, interest checking, and money market accounts) and $6.3 million in Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”) deposits (ICS deposits are the Bank’s money market deposit accounts in excess of FDIC insured limits whereby the Bank makes reciprocal arrangements for insurance with other banks). As of June 30, 2026, our uninsured deposits, including deposits from City First Bank and other affiliates, represented 47% of our total deposits, compared to 41% as of December 31, 2025. We leverage our long-standing partnership with IntraFi Deposit Solutions to offer deposit insurance for accounts exceeding the FDIC deposit insurance limit of $250,000.
- Total Borrowings increased $22.0 million to $94.0 million at June 30, 2026, from $72.0 million at December 31, 2025, due to additional FHLB advances.

- Nonperforming Assets remained at $11.2 million at June 30, 2026, unchanged from December 31, 2025.

- Book Value per Share was $12.11 at June 30, 2026, compared to $12.28 at December 31, 2025. Capital ratios remain strong with a Community Bank Leverage Ratio of 13.20% at June 30, 2026 compared to 14.09% at December 31, 2025.
