From Jason J. Hyska, Sturgis Bancorp, Inc. Chief Executive Officer

"The Bank enjoyed another solid quarter with core earnings growing and a focus on the Strategic initiative to decrease wholesale funds and increase core deposit gathering. That is evident in both our NIM and our deposit growth year to date. The focus on relationship banking continues to highlight the Bank's areas of growth and positions us positively for the remainder of 2025. We remain cautiously optimistic about the future as there are still many economic uncertainties in the current environment."

Quarterly Income Statement Highlights

• Net income for the quarter (2Q25) was $1.6 million, up from last quarter's (1Q25) $1.4 million net income and up from $1.3 million net income for the same quarter of the prior year (2Q24).

  • The increase in net income from 1Q25 was due to a decrease in compensation and benefits.

  • The increase in net income from 2Q24 was due to the net effect of the following fluctuations:

    • An increase in net interest income, increasing net income by $1.2 million;

    • An increase in compensation and benefits, reducing net income by $418,000; and

    • An increase in other noninterest expenses, reducing net income by $370,000.

• Earnings per share were $0.76 for 2Q25, $0.67 for 1Q25, and $0.60 for 2Q24.

• Net interest income was $7.9 ($7.942) million during 2Q25, a 0.93% increase from 1Q25's $7.9 ($7.869) million. This was also an 18.98% increase from 2Q24's $6.7 million.

  • The increase in net interest from 2Q24 was due to the following fluctuations:

    • An increase in total interest and dividend income of $740,000; and

    • A decrease in total interest expense of $479,000.

• Net interest margin increased to 3.62% for 2Q25 from 3.51% for 1Q25 and 3.18% for 2Q24.

• During 2Q25, $117,000 was provided to the allowance for credit losses, based on historic loss updates, qualitative factor adjustments and required reserves. During 1Q25, there was a reversal of the allowance of $158,000, while $165,000 was provided to the allowance for credit losses in 2Q24.

• Noninterest income has stayed relatively constant with $2.2 million recorded each quarter for 2Q25, 1Q25, and 2Q24.

• Noninterest expenses totaled $8.1 million during 2Q25, a 2.34% decrease from 1Q25's $8.3 million, and a 10.80% increase from 2Q24's $7.3 million. These changes were primarily the result of fluctuations in compensation and benefits. Compensation and benefits were $4.8 million in 2Q25, compared to $5.0 million in 1Q25, and $4.3 million in 2Q24.

Year-to-Date Income Statement Highlights

• Net income for the first six months of 2025 (YTD 2025) was $3.1 million, compared to a net loss of $(673,000) for the first six months of 2024 (YTD 2024), as further discussed below.

• Earnings (loss) per share were $1.43 for YTD 2025 and $(0.31) for YTD 2024.

• Net interest income was $15.8 million for YTD 2025, a 15.67% increase from YTD 2024's $13.6 million. This increase was due to:

  • Total interest and dividend income of $24.3 million for YTD 2025, compared to $22.7 million for YTD 2024; and

  • Total interest expense of $8.5 million for YTD 2025, compared to $9.1 million for YTD 2024.

• There has been a reversal of the allowance for credit losses of $41,000 for YTD 2025, while $4.8 million was provided to the allowance for credit losses in YTD 2024. This difference is primarily due to a one-time charge-off of one customer's loans totaling $5.5 million which occurred in 1Q24.

• Noninterest income totaled $4.3 million for YTD 2025, compared to $5.3 million for YTD 2024. This is an 18.34% decrease.

• Noninterest expenses totaled $16.4 million for YTD 2025, compared to $15.1 million for YTD 2024. This is an 8.27% increase. This increase was due to:
