Company Announcements

FRANKLIN, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 16, 2026-- (OTCID: TDCB)-Third Century Bancorp (“Company”), the holding company for Mutual Savings Bank (“Bank”), announced it recorded unaudited net income of $605,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, or $0.52 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $449,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, or $0.38 per basic and diluted share.

“I am pleased with our first quarter results and the progress we continue to make. Three key actions drove this success: growth in core earnings through a steady increase in net interest income, strong credit quality with no non‑performing loans, and continued expense control while reducing our use of higher‑cost wholesale funding,” stated David A. Coffey, President and CEO. Coffey added, “These actions delivered solid results for our stockholders, including net income of $605 thousand, earnings per share of $0.52, and tangible book value per share increasing to $12.27. These results reflect the strength of our community banking model and the commitment of our team to serving our customers and communities while building long‑term value for our stockholders.”

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, net income increased $156,000, or 34.72%, to $605,000 as compared to $449,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, was driven primarily as a result of a $324,000 increase in net interest income as compared to the same period in the prior year. Net interest income increased to $2.44 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, due to an increase in total interest income of $387,000, or 9.82%, to $4.33 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $3.95 million for the same period for the prior year. The increase in total interest income was due to increases in average loan balances and average cash balances. Partially offsetting the increase in total interest income was an increase in total interest expense of $63,000, or 3.47%, to $1.89 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period for the prior year. The increase in total interest expense was the result of higher average retail deposit balances.

The provision reversal for credit losses during the current quarter was $23,000 compared to a provision reversal of $43,000 for the same quarter last year due to higher gross loan balances at quarter end.

Non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, increased by $7,000, or 1.93%, to $374,000, as compared to $367,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in non-interest income occurred due to increased Trust revenue, loan fees, and service charge income as compared to the same period in the prior year. Non-interest expense increased by $143,000, or 7.10%, to $2,157,000 as compared to $2,014,000 for the same period in the prior year, due primarily to increased advertising and personnel expenses.

Total assets increased $156,000 to $349.34 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $349.19 million at December 31, 2025. This increase was due primarily to higher levels of cash which increased by $1.10 million or 3.24% since December 31, 2025. The increase in cash was due to growth in retail deposits. Gross loans held for investment fell by $1.26 million to $220.23 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $221.49 million at December 31, 2025. Total deposits were $282.17 million at March 31, 2026, up from $280.09 million at December 31, 2025. FHLB advances decreased by $3.0 million or 6.67% to $42.0 million at March 31, 2026, from $45.0 million at December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the weighted average rate of all FHLB advances was 3.71% compared to 3.75% at December 31, 2025, and the weighted average maturity was 3.72 years at March 31, 2026, compared to 3.97 years at December 31, 2025.

Stockholders’ equity was $14.24 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $13.17 million at December 31, 2025. Stockholders’ equity increased due to retained net income for the quarter as well as a decrease in net unrealized loss of $522,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as a result of the increase in the fair value of our available- for-sale-securities due to the improvement in the forward rate curve compared to our portfolio at prior year end. The available-for-sale securities are investments in government sponsored mortgage-backed securities as well as investments in municipal bonds, which provide cash flow for business purposes. Quarterly average equity as a percentage of average assets increased to 4.02% at March 31, 2026, compared to 3.69% at December 31, 2025.
