    • Net interest income totaled $9.9 million in Q3 2026, an increase of 4.3% from Q2 2026, driven by higher loan and securities balances.
    • Net interest margin was 2.64% in Q3 2026, stable from 2.65% in Q2 2026 but down from 2.72% in Q3 2025.
    • Provision for credit losses was $668 thousand in Q3 2026, down from $1.5 million in Q2 2026, primarily due to partial charge-offs of previously reserved loans.
    • Non-interest income was $496 thousand in Q3 2026, a 47.8% decrease from Q2 2026, largely due to the absence of a $450 thousand fee from a New Markets Tax Credit transaction earned in the prior quarter.
    • Non-interest expense was $8.3 million in Q3 2026, an 11.4% increase from Q2 2026, driven by higher compensation, information services, and supervisory costs.
    • For the first nine months of 2026, non-interest expense was $23.8 million, a 51.6% decrease from $49.2 million in 2025, primarily due to a $25.9 million goodwill impairment charge recorded in 2025.

    • Total deposits increased by $192.4 million (21.0%) to $1.1 billion during the first nine months of 2026.

    • Securities available-for-sale increased by $48.6 million, attributed to purchases of securities.
    • Cash and cash equivalents increased by $38.8 million.
