For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net income totaled $5.3 million, compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2025.
Annualized return on average assets rose to 1.36% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 1.15% for the same period in 2025. Annualized return on average equity increased to 17.82%, up from 14.38% a year ago, reflecting improved operating leverage and balance sheet growth.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income totaled $8.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, representing an increase of $755 thousand, or 10%, compared to the prior quarter and an increase of 36% compared to the same period a year ago. The net interest margin expanded to 4.09%, up from 3.80% in the first quarter of 2026 and 3.72% in the second quarter of 2025.
Ranalli added, "The net interest margin expansion experienced in the second quarter was partially due to a full recovery of past due interest income on a nonaccrual loan that was paid in full during the quarter. This was a positive outcome for both the margin and our credit quality metrics."
Net interest income totaled $15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing an increase of $4.0 million, or 35%, compared to the same period in 2025.
Total interest income increased to $12.8 million for the second quarter of 2026, representing a 6% increase from the prior quarter and a 24% increase compared to the second quarter of 2025. Quarterly growth was driven primarily by a 3% increase in average loan balances in addition to a 20 basis point increase in loan yields. Year-over-year growth reflected a 15% increase in average loan balances and overall higher loan yields.
Total interest income increased to $24.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing a 24% increase from the same period in 2025.
Total interest expense for the second quarter of 2026 was relatively unchanged from the prior quarter, as higher money market balances offset lower time deposit balances and a 20 basis point decline in time deposit costs. Compared to the second quarter of 2025, total interest expense increased 8%, driven by higher volumes of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, partially mitigated by lower deposit rates.
Total interest expense increased to $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing a 10% increase from the same period in 2025.
Asset Quality, Provision for Credit Losses, and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
The provision for credit losses totaled $386 thousand for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $377 thousand in the first quarter of 2026 and $130 thousand in the second quarter of 2025. As of June 30, 2026, the allowance for credit losses represented 0.79% of total loans, compared to 0.73% at December 31, 2025.
Non-performing assets totaled $881 thousand, or 0.10% of total assets, at June 30, 2026, compared to $3.0 million, or 0.37% of total assets, at March 31, 2026. Non-performing assets represented 0.09% and 0.03% of total assets at December 31, 2025, and June 30, 2025, respectively. Two of the Company's three non-accrual loan relationships are fully secured by real estate collateral, while the third required a specific reserve of $127 thousand during the second quarter.
"We were pleased to meaningfully reduce non-performing assets during the second quarter through the successful resolution of a $2.3 million non-accrual commercial loan relationship, which was collected in full. Our lending strategy emphasizes well-structured loans typically supported by real estate collateral. This approach has historically helped limit credit losses and preserve capital when borrower challenges emerge. The positive resolution of this relationship is a tangible example of the effectiveness of our underwriting philosophy and disciplined approach to credit risk management," stated Ranalli.
Non-Interest Income and Expense
Non-interest income totaled $435 thousand for the quarter, representing a decrease of 20% from the prior quarter and an increase of 17% from the same period last year. Gains on the sale of SBA loans were $108 thousand, compared to $274 thousand in the prior quarter and $26 thousand in the second quarter of 2025. There was no swap referral fee income in the second or first quarters of 2026, compared to $108 thousand in the second quarter of 2025. Service charges increased 35% from the prior quarter, primarily due to late fees collected in connection with the previously discussed non-accrual loan resolution.
Non-interest income totaled $979 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing a 36% increase compared to $722 thousand for the same period in 2025. Gains on sale of SBA loans were $383 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $113 thousand for the same period in 2025. There was no swap referral fee income for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $132 thousand in the same period of 2025.
Non-interest expenses increased 6% from the prior quarter and 22% compared to the second quarter of 2025, reflecting higher costs across most operating categories, including one-time renovation costs for our Exton branch which was built in 2014. The ratio of non-interest expense to average assets was 2.27%, compared to 2.21% in the prior quarter and 2.29% in the second quarter of 2025. The efficiency ratio was 54.39%, compared to 55.77% in the prior quarter and 60.05% in the second quarter of 2025.
Non-interest expenses increased 22% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, reflecting higher costs across all operating categories.
Balance Sheet
Total deposits increased $27.4 million, or 4%, during the second quarter of 2026, reflecting a shift in deposit mix. Increases in non-interest-bearing deposits and money market balances were partially offset by decreases in interest-bearing checking and time deposits. On a year-over-year basis, total deposits increased $145.7 million, or 24%, driven by growth across all deposit categories except time deposits. Approximately 81% of total deposits were insured or collateralized as of June 30, 2026.
"We are encouraged by the continued growth of our customer deposit base during the second quarter, which supported 3% loan growth while enabling us to reduce non-core deposits by an additional $12.9 million," stated Ranalli.
Total loans increased $21.6 million, or 3%, during the second quarter of 2026 to $726.9 million, driven primarily by strong growth in commercial real estate loans. Compared to June 30, 2025, total loans increased $102.1 million, or 16%, driven by continued strength in commercial real estate and construction lending.
