Isabella Bank Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results
MT. PLEASANT, MICHIGAN — October 27, 2025 — Isabella Bank Corporation (Nasdaq: ISBA) (“Isabella” or the “Company”) reported net income of $5.2 million for the third quarter 2025 and $14.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Earnings per diluted share were $0.71 for the third quarter 2025 and $1.92 for the first nine months of 2025.
THIRD QUARTER 2025 HIGHLIGHTS
•Core loans grew $32 million, or 2%
•Total deposits grew $76 million, or 4%
•Net interest income increased 11.6% compared to third quarter 2024
•Net interest margin ("NIM") was 3.15%, up from 2.96% during the third quarter of 2024
•Strong credit quality, with a ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans of 0.24% as of September 30, 2025
“Our strong third quarter results were driven by continued expansion in core loans and deposits," said Isabella's Chief Executive Officer, Jerome Schwind. "Earning assets continued to reprice with low and stable funding costs, generating NIM growth," he added.
"Our loan growth this year has been driven by the commercial and residential mortgage loan portfolios. Our deposit growth includes larger deposits from not-for-profit entities and while some of our deposit growth is considered short-term, we continue to build new relationships across our geographic footprint.
"We also launched initiatives to strengthen noninterest revenue through fee-based income during the quarter, which coupled with noninterest expense control, have contributed to our overall financial performance.
“Our stock trading volume and price remain robust since uplisting our shares to the Nasdaq Capital Market earlier this year," Schwind added. "Our financial results and stock performance position us well for growth and to continue to deliver long-term value to our shareholders.”
FINANCIAL CONDITION (as of September 30, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024, unless otherwise noted)
Total assets were $2.3 billion as of September 30, 2025, up $173.4 million, primarily due to an increase of $127.5 million in interest bearing cash balances, $22.9 million in available-for-sale ("AFS") securities, and $10.8 million in the value of bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI") policies.
AFS securities at fair value were $512 million as of September 30, 2025, increasing $11.4 million during the third quarter and $22.9 million compared to December 31, 2024. The increase during the year was largely driven by purchases of $62.1 million and an improvement in unrealized losses of $13.9 million, partially offset by amortizations and maturities totaling $53.1 million. Net unrealized losses on securities totaled $12.6 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $26.5 million at December 31, 2024. Net unrealized losses as a percentage of total AFS securities decreased to 2% from 5%, primarily due to the treasury portfolio rapidly approaching maturity.
Total loans were $1.4 billion at the end of the third quarter, increasing $34.4 million during the third quarter and $8.3 million since December 31, 2024. While core loans have grown $66.4 million during 2025, advances to mortgage brokers decreased $58 million due to lower participation demand from the counterparty.
During the year, the commercial and industrial and commercial real estate portfolios grew $17.5 million and $34.9 million, respectively. Residential mortgages increased $31.2 million since year-end 2024 with $13.4 million of growth in the third quarter on construction drawdowns and seasonal patterns. Most residential originations were adjustable-rate products, which are retained on the balance sheet rather than sold in the secondary market. The consumer loan portfolio declined $15.4 million as loans continue to roll off amid decreasing demand, competition, and an adherence to credit quality standards.
The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") increased $172 thousand during the third quarter and $254 thousand since December 31, 2024, reaching $13.1 million as of September 30, 2025. The increase for each period reflects core loan growth, offset by improvement in historical loss experience driven by the recovery of previously charged-off loans during the year. Nonaccrual loan balances increased $2.3 million during the quarter to $3.4 million, primarily due to the downgrade of one commercial real estate loan to nonaccrual status during the quarter. Past due and accruing accounts between 30 to 89 days, as a percentage of total loans, was 0.03% compared to 0.40% at December 31, 2024. Overall credit quality remains strong.
BOLI assets were $45.7 million at September 30, 2025, an increase of $10.8 million from December 31, 2024. The growth was mostly driven by a $10.6 million investment of new policies in a separate account product at the beginning of January. During the year, over $13 million of existing general account policies were surrendered and/or exchanged and the funds were redeployed into a separate account BOLI. The separate account BOLI policies are expected to have higher yields than general account policies.
Total deposits were $1.93 billion at September 30, 2025, increasing $76.2 million during the third quarter and $178.5 million since December 31, 2024. Money market deposits have increased $134.3 million during the year, with a large portion related to one relationship with large deposits that is expected to be withdrawn by the customer by the end of the year. Consumer demand for retail certificates of deposit accounts continues based on the current elevated market interest rate environment, resulting in a $17.2 million increase during the year.
Total equity was $227.4 million, or $30.94 per share, at September 30, 2025 compared to $210.3 million, or $28.32 per share, at year-end 2024. Tangible book value per share was $24.37 as of September 30, 2025, compared to $21.82 on December 31, 2024. Net unrealized losses in the AFS securities portfolio reduced tangible book value per share by $1.36 and $2.82 for the respective periods. Share repurchases totaled 19,096 during the third quarter and 122,502 during the first nine months of 2025 at an average price of approximately $32.00 and $26.60, respectively.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Comparison of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, unless otherwise noted)
Net income in the third quarter of 2025 was $5.2 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, compared with $3.3 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, in the same quarter 2024. Net income for the year-to-date period of 2025 was $14.2 million, or $1.92 per diluted share, compared with $9.9 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, in the same period of 2024.
Net interest income was $16.2 million in the third quarter of 2025 and $14.5 million in the same quarter of 2024, representing 3.15% and 2.96% of earning assets, or NIM, respectively. The book yield from securities was 2.42% and 2.17% during the third quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The yield on loans expanded to 5.78% in the third quarter 2025, up from 5.72% in the same quarter of 2024. The expansion in loan yields was primarily due to higher rates on new loans and variable rate commercial loans that continue to reprice. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the third quarter of 2025 decreased to 2.25% from 2.42% in the third quarter of 2024 due to reductions to rates in the money market and certificate of deposit products. NIM is expected to continue to expand as loans reprice and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities stabilizes.
For the first nine months of 2025, net interest income was $45.8 million compared with $41.3 million in the same period of 2024. The comparison of NIM and yield on interest earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were 3.12% and 4.80%, respectively, compared to 2.87% and 4.62%, respectively, for the same period in 2024. The yield on loans expanded to 5.75%, from 5.55%, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities
decreased to 2.25% from 2.36% for the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The explanations for the improvement in NIM are consistent with those provided in the year-over-year three month comparison above.
The provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2025 was $209 thousand, which reflects a $172 thousand increase in the ACL on loans, net charge offs totaling $74 thousand, and an increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments. The provision for loan losses in the same period of 2024 was $946 thousand, reflecting growth in core loans, unfunded commitments, and $1.8 million in charge offs. The increase in charge offs was related to overdrawn deposit accounts from a single customer. The year-to-date provision for credit loss was a credit of $1.0 million, as compared to a provision of $1.5 million in the third quarter 2024. Recoveries during 2025 totaled $2.1 million, of which $1.6 million was related to the overdrawn deposit accounts from a single customer charged off during the third quarter of 2024. The $1.6 million charge off and subsequent recovery, net of tax, impacted diluted earnings per share by $0.17 in 2024 and $0.16 in 2025.
Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $4.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively. Service charges and fees increased $219 thousand and was mostly the result of profitability initiatives designed to increase fee income. Wealth management fees grew $71 thousand due to growth in assets under management throughout the year. Earnings on BOLI policies increased $216 thousand over the prior year quarter due to new investments in a separate account BOLI, which was offset in part by a one-time expense of $120 thousand due to restructuring charges. Noninterest income during the third quarter of 2025 also includes a $163 thousand gain on the redemption of a BOLI policy. For the first nine months of 2025, noninterest income was $11.5 million, compared to $10.6 million in the same period of 2024. Increases in service charges and fees, wealth management fees, earnings on BOLI policies, and other income for the nine-month comparison are the same as the three-month comparison.
Noninterest expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025 increased $757 thousand compared to the same period in 2024. Compensation and benefit expenses increased $379 thousand reflecting annual merit increases in 2025, incentives, and higher medical insurance claims compared to the third quarter of 2024. Other professional services increased $263 thousand primarily due to an increase in outsourced services. For the first nine months of 2025, noninterest expenses were $41.0 million, compared to $38.8 million in the same period of 2024. Compensation and benefits increased $1.3 million for the same reasons as the three-month comparison. Other professional service fees increased $797 thousand principally due to $173 thousand of profitability initiative costs, $168 thousand in legal fees related to our uplisting of the Company's shares of common stock from the OTCQX market to the Nasdaq Capital Market, and an increased reliance on outsourced professional services.
