Results of Operations
Net Income
Net income was $22.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of $183,000, or 0.8%, from $22.3 million for the first quarter of 2026. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in Small Business Administration (“SBA”) servicing income of $1.2 million, and an increase in provision for income taxes of $595,000, offset by an increase in gain on sale of SBA loans of $491,000, and a decrease in noninterest expenses of $1.5 million. Net income increased by $5.3 million, or 31.5%, in the second quarter of 2026 compared to net income of $16.8 million for the second quarter of 2025 as a result of the First IC Corporation (“First IC”) acquisition that occurred in fourth quarter of 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase in interest income of $16.4 million, offset by an increase in interest expense of $4.5 million, an increase in noninterest expenses of $5.8 million, and an increase in income tax expense of $1.7 million.
Net income was $44.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $ 11.3 million, or 34.2%, from $33.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was a result of the First IC acquisition that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2025, due to an increase in net interest income of $25.8 million and an increase in noninterest income of $1.0 million, offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $13.5 million, and an increase in income tax expense of $3.8 million.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Interest income totaled $70.4 million for the second quarter of 2026, down $585,000, or 0.8%, from the previous quarter, primarily due to a $42.5 million decrease in average gross loans and an $80.5 million decrease in total average investments. Compared with the second quarter of 2025, interest income increased by $16.4 million, or 30.3%, primarily due to an $847.8 million increase in the average balance of gross loans, a $30.1 million increase in the average balance of investments, and a 26-basis-point increase in loan yield.
Interest expense totaled $26.4 million for the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of $139,000, or 0.5%, from the previous quarter, primarily due to a $125.7 million decrease in average interest-bearing deposits and a $26.2 million decrease in average borrowings, offset by an 11-basis-point increase in interest-bearing deposit costs. As compared to the second quarter of 2025, interest expense for the second quarter of 2026 increased by $4.5 million, or 20.5%, primarily due to a $578.3 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits balances and offset by a $16.0 million decrease in average borrowing balances and a three-basis point decrease in interest-bearing deposit costs. The Company currently has interest rate derivative agreements totaling $750.0 million that are designated as cash flow hedges of our deposit accounts indexed to the Effective Federal Funds Rate (3.63% as of June 30, 2026). The weighted average pay rate for these interest rate derivatives is 3.12%. During the second quarter of 2026, we recorded a credit to interest expense of $1.5 million from the benefit received on these interest rate derivatives compared to a benefit of $2.9 million and $4.2 million recorded during the first quarter of 2026 and the second quarter of 2025, respectively.
The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2026 was 4.11% compared to 4.08% for the previous quarter, an increase of three basis points. The yield on average interest-earning assets for the second quarter of 2026 increased by six basis points to 6.57% from 6.51% for the previous quarter. This was partially offset by the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities for the second quarter of 2026 increasing by 11-basis-points to 3.36% from 3.25% for the previous quarter. Average earning assets decreased by $123.1 million from the previous quarter, due to a decrease in average loan balances of $42.5 million, and a decrease of $80.5 million in average total investments. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $151.9 million from the previous quarter as average interest-bearing deposits decreased by $125.7 million and average borrowings decreased by $26.2 million.
As compared to the same period in 2025, the net interest margin for the second quarter of 2026 increased by 34 basis points to 4.11% from 3.77%, primarily due to a 23-basis-point increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets of $4.30 billion and a three-basis-point decrease in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities of $3.15 billion. Average earning assets for the second quarter of 2026 increased by $877.9 million from the second quarter of 2025, due to a $30.1 million increase in average total investments and a $847.8 million increase in average loans. Average interest-bearing liabilities for the second quarter of 2026 increased by $562.2 million from the second quarter of 2025, driven by the increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $578.3 million, offset by a $16.0 million decrease in average borrowings.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for second quarter of 2026 was $5.8 million, a decrease of $602,000, or 9.5%, from the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to lower servicing income from our SBA and residential mortgage loans and other service charges, commission and fees, offset by higher gains on sale from our SBA loans and increases in service charges on deposits accounts. SBA loan sales totaled $27.1 million (sales premium of 8.21%) during the second quarter of 2026 compared to $19.7 million (sales premium of 7.68%) during the first quarter of 2026. Mortgage loan originations totaled $75.4 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to $101.9 million during the first quarter of 2026. There were no mortgage loan sales during the second quarter of 2026 or the first quarter of 2026. During the second quarter of 2026, the fair value of our SBA servicing asset decreased by $86,000 compared to an increase in fair value of $666,000 during the first quarter of 2026. We also recorded no fair value impairment change on our mortgage servicing asset during the second quarter of 2026 or the first quarter of 2026.
Compared to the second quarter of 2025, noninterest income for the second quarter of 2026 increased by $22,000, or 0.4%, primarily due to higher gains on sale and servicing income from our SBA loans and service charges on deposits accounts, offset by decreases in gains on sale and servicing income from our residential mortgage loans.
Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 totaled $12.1 million, an increase of $923,000, or 8.2%, from the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher gains on sale and servicing income on SBA loans and service charges on deposits accounts, offset by decreases in gain on sale and servicing income on residential mortgage loans and other service charges.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2026 totaled $20.0 million, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 6.9%, from $21.4 million for the first quarter of 2026. This decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in merger-related expenses, salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment and data processing, partially offset by an increase in other expenses.
Compared to the second quarter of 2025, noninterest expense during the second quarter of 2026 increased by $5.8 million, or 41.4%, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, data processing expense, security expense, loan expense, core deposit amortization expense, and merger-related expenses from the First IC acquisition that occurred in fourth quarter of 2025.
Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 totaled $41.4 million, an increase of $13.5 million, or 48.3%, from $27.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in salaries and employee benefits partially due to higher commissions, employee insurance, and stock-based compensation, as well as higher expenses related to merger-related expenses, depreciation, occupancy, data processing, security, loans, and professional services.
The Company’s efficiency ratio was 40.08% for the second quarter of 2026 compared to 42.16% and 37.23% for the first quarter of 2026 and the second quarter of 2025, respectively.

Explanation of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The measures entitled adjusted return on average shareholder’s equity and tangible book value per share are not measures recognized under GAAP and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The most comparable GAAP measures are return on average shareholder’s equity and book value per share, respectively. Adjusted return on average shareholder’s equity excludes average accumulated other comprehensive income and merger-related expenses. Tangible book value per share excludes goodwill and core deposit intangibles.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance and believes these presentations provide useful supplemental information, and a clearer understanding of the Company’s performance, and if not provided would be requested by the investor community. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s business and performance. These measures are also useful in understanding performance trends and facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. The limitations associated with operating measures are the risk that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items comprising these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently. These disclosures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. The computations of adjusted return on average shareholder’s equity and tangible book value per share and the reconciliation of these measures to return on average shareholder’s equity and book value per share are set forth in the table below.
