Third quarter 2025 loan interest income was $658 thousand higher than third quarter 2024 and was primarily due to improved yield on the loan portfolio. Interest income from investment securities increased by $289 thousand during this same period due to maturities reinvested at higher rates. Deposit interest expense decreased $1.1 million during this same period due primarily to decreases in market rates. Other borrowed funds interest expense decreased $726 thousand during the same period due primarily to reduced borrowings. Third quarter 2025 net interest income totaled $14.0 million, an increase of $3.0 million, or 26.8%, compared to the same quarter a year ago. These factors were the primary contributors to the Company’s net interest margin improving to 2.83% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 as compared to 2.21% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 and 2.65% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
A credit loss expense of $627 thousand was recognized in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to $371 thousand in the third quarter of 2024. Net loan recoveries for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 totaled $344 thousand compared to net loan charge-offs totaled $10 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The credit loss expense in 2025 was primarily due to an increase in specific reserves in the commercial real estate and operating loan portfolios. The recovery in the third quarter 2025 was on a commercial loan relationship that was charged off in the second quarter 2025.
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2025 totaled $2.5 million as compared to $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 5.0%. The increase is primarily due to an increase in wealth management income due to growth in assets under management and new account relationships.
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2025 totaled $10.2 million compared to $10.5 million recorded in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of 2.5%. The decrease in noninterest expense is primarily due to $449 thousand of consultant fees for certain contract negotiations completed in 2024. The efficiency ratio was 61.76% for the third quarter of 2025 as compared to 77.87% in the third quarter of 2024. The efficiency ratio continues to improve as net interest margin increases and noninterest expense is lower than the prior year.
Income tax expense for the third quarter of 2025 totaled $1.2 million compared to $397 thousand recorded in the third quarter of 2024. The effective tax rate was 20% and 15% for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The lower than expected tax rate in 2025 and 2024 was primarily due to tax-exempt interest income and New Markets Tax Credits.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 loan interest income was $2.0 million higher than the first nine months of 2024 and was primarily due to improved yield on the loan portfolio. Interest-bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold interest income increased by $1.2 million during this same period due to higher average balances. Deposit interest expense decreased $2.1 million during this same period due primarily to decreases in market rates. Other borrowed funds interest expense decreased $2.4 million during the same period due primarily to reduced borrowings. The net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $40.4 million, an increase of $7.6 million, or 23.1%, compared to the same period a year ago. These factors were the primary contributors to the Company’s net interest margin improving to 2.67% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to 2.16% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
A credit loss expense of $1.7 million was recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $722 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Net loan charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $812 thousand compared to net loan charge-offs of $6 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The credit loss expense in 2025 was primarily due to an increase in specific reserves in the commercial real estate and operating loan portfolios. The charge-offs in 2025 were primarily related to one commercial loan relationship.
Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $7.7 million as compared to $7.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of 7.1%. The increase in noninterest income is primarily due to an increase in wealth management income due to growth in assets under management and new account relationships.
Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $30.9 million compared to $31.4 million recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of 1.8%. The decrease in noninterest expense is primarily due to $799 thousand of consultant fees for certain contract negotiations completed in 2024. The efficiency ratio was 64.10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to 78.47% in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The efficiency ratio continues to improve as net interest margin increases and noninterest expense is lower than the prior year.
Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $3.1 million compared to $1.2 million recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The effective tax rate was 20% and 15% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The lower than expected tax rate in 2025 and 2024 was primarily due to tax-exempt interest income and New Markets Tax Credits.
Balance Sheet Review:
As of September 30, 2025, total assets were $2.1 billion, a decrease of $15.2 million, as compared to September 30, 2024. The decrease in assets was primarily due to a decrease in securities available-for-sale and loans receivable, partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing deposits in financial institutions.
Securities available-for-sale as of September 30, 2025 decreased to $650.7 million from $688.6 million as of September 30, 2024. The decrease in securities available-for-sale is primarily due to maturities in excess of purchases, partially offset by lower unrealized losses in the investment portfolio. The Company's investment portfolio had an expected duration of 3.0 years as of September 30, 2025. There are approximately $96 million of investments maturing within one year at an average yield of approximately 1.5%.
Net loans as of September 30, 2025 decreased to $1.28 billion as compared to $1.30 billion as of September 30, 2024, a decrease of 1.5%. Substandard loans were $29.7 million and $28.3 million as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in substandard loans is primarily due to one multi-family real estate loan with an increase in vacancy rates. Substandard-impaired loans were $18.8 million and $16.9 million as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in substandard-impaired loans is primarily due to weakening in the commercial real estate and agricultural loan portfolios. Some commercial real estate loans are experiencing a decline in occupancy rates and collateral valuation, while the agricultural portfolio was primarily impacted by one agricultural loan relationship. There are approximately $315 million of loans maturing within one year at an average yield of approximately 5.8%.
The allowance for credit losses on September 30, 2025 totaled $18.0 million or 1.39% of loans, compared to $17.6 million, or 1.34% of loans, as of September 30, 2024. The increase in the allowance for credit losses is primarily due to an increase in specific reserves.
Deposits totaled $1.83 billion as of September 30, 2025, a increase of 1.7%, compared to $1.80 billion recorded as of September 30, 2024. The increase in deposits is primarily due to an increase in time deposits and public funds, partially offset by lower balances in retail and commercial checking and money market accounts as customers seek higher interest rates. Deposit balances fluctuate as customers’ liquidity needs vary and could be impacted by prevailing market interest rates, competition, and economic conditions. Approximately 16% of deposits are tied to external indexes as of September 30, 2025. Deposit interest expense related to these deposits can be more volatile than other deposit products in a changing interest rate environment.
Other borrowings decreased to $23.5 million as of September 30, 2025 compared to $83.1 million as of September 30, 2024. The Company has continued to reduce borrowings as investments have matured.
The Company’s stockholders’ equity represented 9.5% of total assets as of September 30, 2025 with all of the Company’s six affiliate banks considered well-capitalized as defined by federal capital regulations. Total stockholders’ equity was $200.6 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $183.4 million as of September 30, 2024. The increase in stockholders’ equity of $17.2 million was primarily the result of a decrease in unrealized losses on the investment portfolio and retention of net income in excess of dividends.
Share Repurchase Program
For the period July 1, 2025 through September 30, 2025, under the repurchase program that was announced in November 2024, which allowed for the repurchase of 100,000 shares of common stock, the Company repurchased 6,522 shares of its common stock at an average price of $18.73 per share and a total cost of $122 thousand. There were no remaining shares available to be repurchased under that repurchase program as of September 30, 2025.
A stock repurchase program was announced in August 2025, authorizing the repurchase of 200,000 shares of common stock. There were 200,000 shares available to be repurchased under that repurchase program as of September 30, 2025.
The weighted average outstanding shares for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was 8,894,152 and 8,992,167, respectively. The weighted average outstanding shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was 8,903,933 and 8,992,167, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report contains references to financial measures that are not defined in GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures include the Company’s presentation of net interest income and net interest margin on an FTE basis. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are widely used in the financial institutions industry and provide useful information to both management and investors to analyze and evaluate the Company’s financial performance. Limitations associated with non-GAAP financial measures include the risks that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items included in these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be considered an alternative to the Company’s GAAP results. The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures of net interest income and net interest margin on an FTE basis to GAAP (dollars in thousands).
