CEO and Board Chair Commentary
Timothy T. O’Dell, President and CEO, commented “We had strong net income of $6.0 million for the third quarter, which was net of $551,000 of provision expense. Return on Equity (ROE) topped 12% at 12.22%, while our NIM expanded by 3 bps to 2.96%.
Ongoing Investments particularly with building our Commercial Banking Teams and expanding our Regional Metro Markets presence, are producing increasing Commercial Business banking opportunities throughout the Five (5) metro Marketplaces we serve in Ohio and Indiana.
As an example, our Commercial Banking Team has generated over $350 million in total new Commercial Loan Fundings year-to-date. Our Pipelines of Commercial Banking Loan and Deposits remain strong entering the fourth quarter. As our new producers fully hit their strides, we expect our business generation results and Team capabilities will continue to grow and expand.
Customer Fees, driven predominantly by Treasury Management Fees for Services, also have increased 32% year-to-date, up 8% compared to the prior quarterly results.
During 2026, we have expanded considerably the size and depth of our Commercial Banking Team, which we believe will continue to fuel increasing quality Commercial growth opportunities, along with improving business mix through capturing greater numbers of full-service Banking (C&I) relationships.
Additionally, we are gaining traction with expanding our Private Banking Customers & Product offerings to closely held business owners and entrepreneurs.
Also, we are investing in Mortgage Lending, mostly through adding high performing Mortgage Loan Originators along with Regional Sales Leaders, capable of building Local and Regionally based Mortgage Lending Teams.
Looking ahead, we expect our rate of Growth to continue accelerating. As we deploy more available capital to work into Loan relationships, we see enhanced Earnings growth opportunity.
Our Best is Yet Ahead!”
Robert E. Hoeweler, Chairman of the Board, added “Our team has been able to perform at the highest level in very trying economic times. The results of the 3rd quarter reflect the quality of the Management team we have been able to attract and keep. Our marching orders are to continue our profitable growth and build shareholder value. I wholehearted agree 'Our Best is Yet Ahead'!"

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income totaled $14.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 and increased $105,000, or 0.7%, compared to $14.8 million for the prior quarter, and increased $1.1 million, or 8.4%, compared to $13.8 million for the third quarter of 2025.
The increase in net interest income compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to a $92,000, or 0.3%, increase in interest income, coupled with a $13,000, or 0.1%, decrease in interest expense. The increase in interest income was primarily attributed to a $37.4 million, or 2.1%, increase in average loans and leases, coupled with a 5bps increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets. The decrease in interest expense when compared to the prior quarter was attributed to a 7bps decrease in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a $26.8 million, or 1.7%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin of 2.96% for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 increased 3bps compared to the net interest margin of 2.93% for the prior quarter.
The increase in net interest income compared to the third quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a $1.4 million, or 8.5%, decrease in interest expense, partially offset by a $255,000, or 0.8%, decrease in interest income. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributed to a 40bps decrease in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a $20.5 million, or 1.3%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributed to a 11bps decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a $17.7 million, or 0.9%, increase in average interest-earning assets outstanding. The net interest margin of 2.96% for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 increased 20bps compared to the net interest margin of 2.76% for the third quarter of 2025.

Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2026 totaled $1.8 million and increased $58,000, or 3.4%, compared to $1.7 million for the prior quarter and increased $41,000, or 2.4%, compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

The increase in noninterest expense when compared to the prior quarter was driven by a $264,000 increase in recruiting
expenses related to the expansion of our Commercial Banking Teams across our Regional Markets. During the third quarter, one-time expenses included $111,000 in signing bonuses and $198,000 in recruiting fees.

Asset Quality
Nonaccrual loans were $20.4 million, or 1.10% of total loans, at September 30, 2026, a decrease of $478,000 from $20.8 million at June 30, 2026 and an increase of $5.0 million from $15.3 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in nonperforming loans when compared to December 31, 2025 included the addition of one non-core (non-customer) C&I loan for $5.0 million. Of the $20.4 million of nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2026, $4.8 million was guaranteed by the SBA.
Loans 30 days or more past due totaled $30.8 million at September 30, 2026, compared to $20.4 million at June 30, 2026 and $12.9 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in loans 30 days or more past due when compared to the previous quarter was primarily due to a $6.7 million C&I loan and a $5.9 million commercial real estate loan (one relationship). Subsequent to quarter end, both of these loans were brought current.
The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases totaled $19.0 million at September 30, 2026, compared to $19.4 million at June 30, 2026 and $17.7 million at December 31, 2025. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases to total loans and leases was 1.03% at September 30, 2026 compared to 1.07% at June 30, 2026 and 1.01% at December 31, 2025.
There was $551,000 in provision for credit losses expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared to $944,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and $5.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Net charge-offs for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 totaled $966,000, compared to net recoveries of $106,000 for the prior quarter and net charge-offs of $7.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Net charge-offs during the quarter ended September 30, 2026 were attributed to credits that had already been identified and fully reserved in previous quarters. As a result, these charge-offs had no impact on third quarter 2026 provision expense.
Deposits
Deposits totaled $1.9 billion at September 30, 2026, an increase of $28.5 million, or 1.6%, from June 30, 2026, and an increase of $76.5 million, or 4.3%, from December 31, 2025. The increase when compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to a $29.5 million increase in interest-bearing account balances, partially offset by a $922,000 decrease in noninterest-bearing account balances. The increase when compared to December 31, 2025 was primarily due to a $89.3 million increase in interest-bearing account balances, partially offset by a $12.8 million decrease in noninterest-bearing accounts balances.
At September 30, 2026, approximately 31.2% of our deposit balances exceeded the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000, as compared to approximately 32.0% at June 30, 2026 and approximately 29.5% at December 31, 2025.
Borrowings
FHLB advances and other debt totaled $99.2 million at September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026 and $101.0 million at December 31, 2025.
Capital
Stockholders’ equity totaled $199.5 million at September 30, 2026, an increase of $5.2 million, or 2.7%, when compared to $194.3 million at June 30, 2026, and an increase of $15.1 million, or 8.2%, from $184.4 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in total stockholders’ equity during the three months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily attributed to net income, partially offset by $588,000 in dividend payments.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release contains financial information and performance measures determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release include Pre-Provision, Pre-Tax Net Revenue (PPNR). PPNR is defined as net interest income plus total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, minus total non-interest expense. This measure is a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes the provision for (recovery of) credit losses and all gains and losses included in net income. Management uses this "non-GAAP" financial measure in its analysis of the Company’s performance and believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhances comparability of results with prior periods and peers.
Disclosures of non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as substitutes for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included at the end of this earnings release under the heading "GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION."
