FLORENCE, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 27, 2026-- Oregon Pacific Bancorp (ORPB), the holding company of Oregon Pacific Bank, today reported net income of $2.7 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to $2.2 million or $0.31 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. On an annual basis the Bank reported 2025 net income of $8.6 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, compared to $7.5 million or $1.05 per diluted share for the year ending December 31, 2024.

“We are very pleased with the Bank’s 2025 financial results,” said Ron Green, President and CEO. “Throughout 2025 the Bank remained dedicated to our mission of supporting local business and nonprofit clients. Through this focus the Bank achieved annual loan and deposit growth, which contributed to an increase in overall Bank profitability.”

The Bank’s fourth quarter net interest margin increased to 3.96%, up from 3.88% reported in the third quarter of 2025. The expansion was attributable to both an increase in yield on loans and a reduction in the cost of funds. Despite a 0.50% reduction in the prime rate occurring during the quarter, the reduction in yield on variable loans and securities was more than offset by the increase in yield due to new loan production. The overall yield on loans increased to 5.80%, up from 5.73% in the third quarter of 2025. Quarterly loan production for new and renewed loans totaled $40.5 million, with a weighted average effective rate of 6.69%.

Period-end deposits totaled $699.4 million, reflecting quarterly contraction of $29.0 million. A portion of this reduction was due to deposit activity related to a terminating trust. Trust Assets Under Management (AUM) are typically invested in securities or real estate and do not appear on the Bank’s balance sheet. However, depending on beneficiaries’ cash requirements and the timing of final distributions, some trust assets may be held in cash. Currently, the cash portion of all trust client balances is held at Oregon Pacific Bank and protected by FDIC insurance through IntraFi’s Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) product. These cash balances are included in the Bank’s total interest-bearing demand deposits. At September 30, 2025, a terminating trust held $9.0 million in cash pending final distribution. During the fourth quarter these funds were paid to trust beneficiaries, and this reduced Bank deposits by $9.0 million. Additional deposit migration occurred at year end following the Bank’s typical seasonal deposit fluctuations, primarily attributable to year end distributions for large business clients.

Classified assets on December 31, 2025, totaled $13.1 million, and reflected a decrease of $1.3 million from the third quarter of 2025. Classified assets are defined as loans and loan contingent liabilities internally graded substandard or worse, impaired loans, adversely classified securities and other real estate owned. The reduction in classified assets was primarily attributable to a paydown on a substandard owner-occupied property and an upgrade of a multifamily loan. At December 31, 2025, nonperforming loans totaled $2.3 million, representing a quarterly increase of $1.8 million. The increase was attributable to the migration of two credits to nonaccrual status. The larger of the two non-accrual loans is a $1.6 million term loan fully secured with various pieces of equipment. The Bank is working on a resolution plan and currently does not anticipate any losses. The other loan is a $246 thousand commercial line of credit, which has a specific reserve of 100% in the December 31, 2025 allowance for credit losses, while the Bank evaluates potential impairment of the underlying collateral. Fourth quarter provision for credit losses totaled $346 thousand, while the provision for unfunded commitments reflected a credit of $15 thousand. The increase in provision was driven by the quarterly loan growth and a specific reserve associated with a nonaccrual loan.

Fourth quarter noninterest income grew to $2.3 million, reflecting a $106 thousand increase compared to the prior quarter. The most significant change was observed in trust fee income due to continued growth of trust AUM. Despite the terminating trust distribution, at December 31, 2025, trust AUM reached $297.7 million, reflecting quarterly growth of $16.4 million and an annual increase of $26.7 million or 9.83% from December 31, 2024. Trust services continue to be a valuable source of noninterest income which the Bank anticipates continuing to grow throughout 2026.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, noninterest expense totaled $6.3 million, reflecting a decrease of $7 thousand compared to the previous quarter. On a linked quarter basis salaries and employee benefits declined by $89 thousand primarily driven by a decrease in the officer bonus accrual, following a true-up process that aligned the accrual with updated year-end payout projections. Offsetting a reduction in salaries and benefit expense, trust expense grew $30 thousand during the quarter. The increase in trust expense was partially attributable to an overlap in trust accounting software as the Bank completed a core conversion of the trust accounting system effective November 1, 2025. As part of the conversion the Bank continued to incur the cost of the prior trust software through December 31^st which contributed to additional non-recurring expense of $41 thousand.
