Revenue drivers

• Real estate lending — At December 31, 2025, single and multi-family housing was 56.35% of the loan portfolio and non-farm, non-residential real estate was 28.61%. Loans made up 89.74% of interest-earning assets and have historically produced the highest spread above cost of funds.
• Farm and construction lending — Farm-related real estate was 2.19% and real estate construction and development was 6.13% of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2025, alongside commercial and consumer lending.
• Net interest income — Net interest income after provision for credit losses was $13.9 million in Q2 2026 versus $12.2 million in Q2 2025; net interest margin was 4.62% in Q2 2026.
• Noninterest income — Noninterest income was $2.2 million in Q2 2026 versus $1.9 million a year earlier, driven by service charges and fees (+$195 thousand) and mortgage origination fees (+$69 thousand).

Recent performance

Q2 2026 net income was $5.0 million, or $0.89 per share, versus $4.6 million, or $0.82 per share, in Q1 2026 and $3.8 million, or $0.68 per share, in Q2 2025. First-half 2026 net income was $9.6 million, or $1.71 per share, compared with $7.4 million, or $1.32 per share, a year earlier. Q2 2026 ROAA was 1.50% and ROAE was 17.70%, versus 1.21% and 16.01% in Q2 2025, and NIM was 4.62% versus 4.27%. Total assets reached $1.33 billion at June 30, 2026, up $38.6 million from December 31, 2025; net loans were $1.10 billion and total deposits were $1.18 billion. Book value rose from $19.00 per share at December 31, 2025 to $20.32 per share at June 30, 2026.

Strategy

The Company's stated direction is to continue organic loan growth, which ran at an annualized rate above 8% in Q2 2026, while expanding net interest margin through lower funding costs. Total cost of funds fell to 1.11% in Q2 2026. The JCB acquisition, completed September 1, 2024 for $25.0 million in cash, added $154.1 million of assets, $87.2 million of loans and $125.3 million of deposits, and was intended to facilitate entry into Eastern Tennessee. Management says the Company is well positioned for continued growth and success.

Risks

• Deposit cost pressure — Management states competitive pressures for deposits could raise deposit offering rates, especially on time deposits, after total cost of funds fell to 1.11% in Q2 2026.
• Real estate concentration — Single and multi-family housing plus non-farm, non-residential real estate was 84.96% of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2025, concentrating credit exposure in real estate.
• Funding mix — Interest expense reductions were aided by lower average borrowings, down $16.0 million quarter over quarter and $22.7 million in the six-month comparison, which may not repeat.
• Acquisition integration and fair value estimates — JCB merger amounts, including $154.1 million of assets and $133.8 million of liabilities, included preliminary estimated fair value adjustments subject to change, and the acquisition expanded operations into Eastern Tennessee.

Outlook

Management anticipates loan growth will continue to positively impact earning assets and loan yields. It also states that interest expense on deposits could increase in the near term if deposit competition pushes rates higher, especially on time deposits. CEO Blake Edwards said the Company remains well positioned for continued growth and looks forward to opportunities ahead.
