Operating Results
Net income was $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $3.7 million in the prior quarter and $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net income was $5.3 million, increasing 41.5% from $3.7 million for the prior-year period. Adjusted non-GAAP net income, excluding $650 thousand of nonrecurring merger expenses incurred during the second quarter of 2026, was $2.2 million for the second quarter and $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Net interest income totaled $11.7 million in the second quarter of 2026, increasing 8.1% from $10.9 million in the prior quarter and 23.6% from $9.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net interest income increased 21.9% to $22.6 million, compared to $18.6 million for the prior-year period. Growth in net interest income reflected higher average earning assets, higher average loan balances compared to the prior-year period, improved loan yields, and lower funding costs, partially offset by higher subordinated debt expense.
Net interest margin expanded to 2.92% in the second quarter of 2026, compared to 2.83% in the prior quarter and 2.70% in the second quarter of 2025. The linked-quarter improvement was primarily driven by lower funding costs, including a decline in the cost of total deposits to 2.59% from 2.75% in the prior quarter, together with continued strength in loan yields. The total cost of deposits declined 45 basis points from 3.04% in the second quarter of 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net interest margin increased to 2.88% from 2.70% for the prior-year period, supported by higher loan yields and a lower cost of total deposits. The Company expects continued improvement in funding costs through continued deposit repricing and deposit mix optimization, as well as improvement in earning asset yields through loan growth and repricing activity, which should support margin expansion over the remainder of 2026.
Provision expense was $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to a recovery of $572 thousand in the prior quarter and provision expense of $672 thousand in the second quarter of 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, provision expense totaled $1.4 million, compared to $692 thousand for the prior-year period. The second quarter provision reflected loan growth, changes in allowance for credit losses (ACL) model-driven inputs and assumptions, management adjustments to qualitative factors, and continued prudent reserve management to ensure the ACL under CECL (Current Expected Credit Losses) appropriately reflects expected lifetime credit losses.
Noninterest income totaled $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2026, increasing from $1.1 million in the prior quarter and $788 thousand in the second quarter of 2025. Growth over the prior-year period reflected higher service charges and other fee income, bank-owned life insurance income, wealth management income, and other income. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, noninterest income increased 59.9% to $2.3 million.
Noninterest expense totaled $8.9 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $7.8 million in the prior quarter and $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2025. The second quarter of 2026 included $650 thousand in nonrecurring merger expenses. Excluding these merger expenses, adjusted non-GAAP noninterest expense was $8.2 million in the second quarter of 2026. The increase in noninterest expense over the prior-year period primarily reflected continued investments in personnel and infrastructure, higher data processing costs, franchise taxes, and other operating expenses, partially offset by lower FDIC assessment expense and lower professional services expense.
Improved operating leverage continued to drive efficiency gains, resulting in an adjusted efficiency ratio of 63.46%, compared to 65.11% in the prior quarter and 71.81% in the prior-year period.
Financial Condition
Total assets increased to $1.80 billion at June 30, 2026, rising 10.8% from $1.62 billion at March 31, 2026, and 20.6% from $1.49 billion at June 30, 2025. The increase from the prior quarter was driven primarily by strong deposit growth, higher cash and cash equivalents, and continued loan growth.
Gross loans totaled $1.37 billion at June 30, 2026, increasing 2.7% from $1.33 billion at March 31, 2026, and 8.2% from $1.26 billion at June 30, 2025. The Company continues to emphasize high-quality, relationship-based loan growth across its markets while maintaining disciplined underwriting standards.
Total deposits increased to $1.49 billion at June 30, 2026, rising 13.1% from $1.32 billion at March 31, 2026, and 21.9% from $1.22 billion at June 30, 2025. Deposit mix improved during the quarter as noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased to $360.2 million, representing 24.2% of total deposits, while time deposits declined to $314.9 million, representing 21.1% of total deposits. ODNB continues to emphasize core customer deposit relationships to support growth, reduce funding costs, and strengthen the Company’s deposit franchise.
The Company’s balance sheet remains highly liquid. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $302.3 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $169.5 million at March 31, 2026, and $114.1 million at June 30, 2025. The liquidity ratio, defined as the ratio of cash and unencumbered marketable securities totaling $373.9 million to total liabilities, was 22.7% at June 30, 2026.
Asset Quality and Capital Strength
Asset quality remained stable during the second quarter of 2026. At June 30, 2026, loans past due 30–89 days and accruing totaled $2.7 million, and there were no loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing. Nonaccrual loans declined to $11.6 million, or 0.85% of total gross loans, compared to $13.5 million, or 1.02%, at March 31, 2026, and $14.0 million, or 1.10%, at June 30, 2025.
The allowance for credit losses totaled $12.4 million, or 0.91% of total gross loans, at June 30, 2026, compared to $12.3 million, or 0.92%, at March 31, 2026, and $11.9 million, or 0.94%, at June 30, 2025. During the second quarter of 2026, ODNB recorded a partial charge-off of $1.8 million against one nonaccrual commercial real estate loan. This partial charge-off had no direct impact on second-quarter earnings because a specific credit reserve had been established in a prior period. Net charge-offs to average loans were 0.43% on an annualized basis for the second quarter of 2026.
The Bank’s regulatory capital ratios remained well above levels required to be considered “well capitalized,” with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 11.75%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 13.75%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.66% at June 30, 2026. The Company’s tangible equity to assets ratio was 8.37% at June 30, 2026.
Tangible book value per share increased to $13.13 at June 30, 2026, compared to $12.99 at March 31, 2026, and $12.12 at June 30, 2025. Tangible book value per share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income, increased to $13.44 at June 30, 2026.
