MT. PLEASANT, MICHIGAN / ACCESS Newswire / April 23, 2026 / Isabella Bank Corporation (Nasdaq:ISBA) ("Isabella" or the "Company") reported net income of $5.0 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2026 compared to $3.9 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2025.
FIRST QUARTER 2026 HIGHLIGHTS
Loans, excluding advances to mortgage brokers, grew $27.2 million
Total deposits increased $40.2 million
Net income grew 26% compared to first quarter 2025
Net interest margin ("NIM") improved to 3.33%, up from 3.06% in first quarter 2025
Credit quality remained strong, with a ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans of 0.28% at March 31, 2026
"Isabella Bank Corporation delivered strong results in the first quarter, driven by loan and deposit growth across our markets," said CEO Jerome Schwind. "Initiatives implemented over the past year continue to drive noninterest income. Our initiatives this year remain focused on our commitment to provide products and services that attract new customers while continuing to fully support our current customers," he added.
"We are pleased with our stock performance after uplisting to the Nasdaq in May 2025. As expected, the lift in both volume and price has carried into 2026," Schwind added.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets were $2.3 billion as of March 31, 2026, an increase of $42.5 million compared to December 31, 2025, primarily due to increases of $23.1 million in interest bearing cash and $22.6 million in loans.
Available-for-sale ("AFS") securities at fair value were $492.7 million as of March 31, 2026, a decrease of $5.0 million compared to December 31, 2025. The decrease during the quarter was largely driven by maturities and principal paydowns totaling $53.1 million, which were offset by purchases of $48.9 million. Net unrealized losses on AFS securities were $10.6 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $9.9 million at December 31, 2025. Net unrealized losses as a percentage of the amortized cost of AFS securities were consistent compared to December 31, 2025, at 2%.
Loans were $1.6 billion as of March 31, 2026, an increase of $22.6 million compared to December 31, 2025. Adjusted loans (non-GAAP), which exclude advances to mortgage brokers, increased by $27.2 million from year-end 2025. Advances to mortgage brokers decreased by $4.6 million in first quarter 2026 due to decreased participation demand from the counterparty.
In first quarter 2026, the commercial real estate and residential mortgage portfolios increased by $20.9 million and $10.5 million, respectively. Most residential originations were adjustable-rate products, which are retained on the balance sheet rather than sold in the secondary market. The consumer loan portfolio continued to decline in 2026 amid decreasing demand, competition, and adherence to credit quality standards.
The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") was $14.0 million at March 31, 2026, an increase of $287,000 from December 31, 2025. The increase is due to loan growth and an increase in loss rates driven by loans charged off during the quarter. Nonaccrual loans were $4.4 million as of March 31, 2026 compared to $4.6 million at December 31, 2025. Past due and accruing accounts between 30 to 89 days as a percentage of loans was 0.37% at March 31, 2026, compared to 0.44% at December 31, 2025. The Company believes its credit quality remains strong.
Total deposits were $1.9 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $40.2 million from December 31, 2025. The growth was driven in part by new customer relationships and included a $40.9 million increase in money market accounts and a $20.3 million increase in savings deposits. The growth was offset by a $15.1 million decrease in noninterest bearing deposits and a $3.7 million decrease in certificates of deposit.
Total equity was $234.0 million, or $31.90 per share, at March 31, 2026 compared to $231.4 million, or $31.60 per share, at December 31, 2025. Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) was $25.32 as of March 31, 2026, compared to $25.01 as of December 31, 2025. Net unrealized losses in the AFS securities portfolio reduced tangible book value per share by $1.17 and $1.09 for the respective periods. Share repurchases totaled 8,062 during 2026 at an average price of approximately $49.86 per share.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income in first quarter 2026 was $5.0 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, compared with $3.9 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, in first quarter 2025.
Net interest income was $16.9 million in first quarter 2026 compared to $14.5 million in first quarter 2025, representing 3.33% and 3.06% of earning assets, or NIM, respectively. The book yield from securities was 2.52% and 2.20% during the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The yield on loans increased to 5.78% in first quarter 2026 from 5.71% in first quarter 2025. The increase in loan yields was primarily due to higher rates on new loans and variable rate commercial loans that continue to reprice. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities in first quarter 2026 decreased to 2.14% from 2.26% in first quarter 2025 primarily due to lower rates on the money market and certificate of deposit products.
The provision for credit losses in first quarter 2026 was $604,000, which reflects a $287,000 increase in the ACL on loans, net charge offs totaling $253,000, and an increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments. The provision for credit losses in first quarter 2025 was a credit of $107,000 due to the change in allowance for credit losses on loans and $52,000 in net recoveries, offset by an increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments.
Noninterest income was $4.4 million in first quarter 2026 compared to $3.5 million in first quarter 2025. Service charges and fees increased $398,000 compared to first quarter 2025, mostly due to initiatives to align our fees with the market. Wealth management fees grew $129,000 compared to first quarter 2025 due to the growth in assets under management since first quarter 2025. Earnings on bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI") policies increased $76,000 compared to first quarter 2025 due to new investments in a separate account BOLI in 2025. Other noninterest income in first quarter 2026 included a $131,000 gain related to a death benefit from a BOLI policy.
Noninterest expenses were $14.7 million in first quarter 2026 compared to $13.3 million in first quarter 2025. Compensation and benefit expenses increased $545,000, reflecting annual merit increases, incentives, and higher medical insurance claims compared to first quarter 2025. Other professional services increased $304,000 as a result of costs related to profitability initiatives and product implementation costs.
Income tax expense was $985,000 in first quarter 2026, compared to $912,000 in first quarter 2025. The effective tax rate (ETR) was 16% and 19% for the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The ETR in first quarter 2025 included a one-time tax expense totaling $166,000 due to the taxes owed from the lifetime earnings on BOLI policies that were surrendered during first quarter 2025. Excluding the one-time charge, the ETR was 15% for the first three months of 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some of the financial measures included in this press release are not measures of financial performance recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide both management and investors with a more complete understanding of the Company's financial position and performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP financial measures.
We classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the United States in our statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Not all companies use the same calculation of these measures; therefore, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as presented by other companies.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures is provided at the end of this press release.
