BLOOMINGTON, Ill., April 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HBT Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: HBT) (the "Company", "HBT Financial" or "HBT"), the holding company for Heartland Bank and Trust Company, today reported net income of $11.2 million, or $0.34 diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2026. This compares to net income of $18.9 million, or $0.60 diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2025, and net income of $19.1 million, or $0.60 diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2025.
J. Lance Carter, President and Chief Executive Officer of HBT Financial, said, "We are off to a great start in 2026 with the closing of our acquisition of CNB and its wholly-owned subsidiary, CNB Bank & Trust, N.A. ("CNB Bank"), on March 1. We also successfully completed our systems conversions in March and have been busy welcoming our new customers and colleagues. We are excited for the opportunities that lie ahead.
"Results for the first quarter were strong and consistent with adjusted net income(1) of $22.6 million, or $0.68 per diluted share. Adjusted ROAA(1) was 1.60% and adjusted ROATCE(1) was 15.89% as we continue to report strong returns. Our net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis(1) increased by 9 basis points to 4.25% when compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by continued higher asset repricing for maturing fixed rate loans and securities. Our tangible book value per share(1) decreased by 1.1% for the quarter to $17.01 due to the CNB acquisition, elevated share repurchase activity, and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") due to higher market interest rates; however, our tangible book value per share(1) has nonetheless increased by 10.2% since the first quarter of 2025.
"Our balance sheet remains strong with good liquidity, solid capital ratios, and no significant credit issues. That gives us confidence that we are prepared for a variety of different economic environments. Our capital levels and operational structure support continued organic growth and attractive acquisition opportunities should the right opportunity arise."

Adjusted Net Income
In addition to reporting GAAP results, the Company believes non-GAAP measures such as adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, which adjust for acquisition expenses, branch closure expenses, net earnings (losses) on closed or sold operations, losses on extinguishment of debt, gains (losses) on closed branch premises, realized gains (losses) on sales of securities, mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") fair value adjustments, and the tax effect of these pre-tax adjustments, provide investors with additional insight into its operational performance. The Company reported adjusted net income of $22.6 million, or $0.68 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2026. This compares to adjusted net income of $20.1 million, or $0.64 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2025, and adjusted net income of $19.3 million, or $0.61 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2025. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" tables below for reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most closely comparable GAAP financial measures.
Acquisition of CNB Bank Shares, Inc.
On March 1, 2026, HBT Financial completed its previously announced acquisition of CNB and CNB Bank. The combined company will have increased density in the central Illinois, the Chicago MSA, and the St. Louis MSA markets. After considering business combination accounting adjustments, CNB added total assets of $1.8 billion, total loans held for investment of $1.3 billion, and total deposits of $1.5 billion.
Cash consideration of $33.8 million and stock consideration of 5.5 million shares of HBT Financial common stock resulted in aggregate consideration of $182.1 million, based upon the closing price of HBT Financial common stock of $26.96 on February 27, 2026. Goodwill of $23.7 million was recorded in the acquisition.
Acquisition-related expenses consisted of the following during the first quarter of 2026 and fourth quarter of 2025:

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2026 was $56.4 million, an increase of 11.6% from $50.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher average interest-earning asset balances following the CNB merger. A $0.5 million increase in loan fees and a $0.1 million increase in nonaccrual interest recoveries further contributed to the overall increase. Additionally, acquired loan discount accretion was $1.0 million during the first quarter of 2026 and $0.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Relative to the first quarter of 2025, net interest income increased 15.8% from $48.7 million. The increase was primarily attributable to higher average interest-earning asset balances following the CNB merger, improved yields on debt securities, and lower funding costs. Partially offsetting these improvements were a decrease in loan yields and a $0.4 million decrease in nonaccrual interest recoveries. Additionally, acquired loan discount accretion was $1.1 million during the first quarter of 2025.
Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 4.20%, compared to 4.12% for the fourth quarter of 2025, while net interest margin (tax-equivalent basis)(1) for the first quarter of 2026 was 4.25%, compared to 4.16% for the fourth quarter of 2025. These increases were primarily attributable to higher asset yields and the sale of the vast majority of the CNB securities portfolio, with the proceeds used to pay off higher cost sources of funding. Improvements in loan yields, which increased 6 basis points to 6.28%, and debt securities yields, which increased 20 basis points to 3.01%, were partially offset by higher funding costs, which increased 2 basis points to 1.25%.
Relative to the first quarter of 2025, net interest margin increased 8 basis points from 4.12% and net interest margin (tax-equivalent basis)(1) increased 9 basis points from 4.16%. These increases were primarily attributable to improved yields on debt securities and lower funding costs, which were partially offset by a decrease in loan yields.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2026 was $10.9 million, an increase from $9.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. A $0.4 million increase in wealth management fees, primarily driven by an increase in assets under management following the CNB merger, and the absence of $0.2 million in gains (losses) on foreclosed assets contributed to this improvement. Partially offsetting these improvements was a $0.2 million impairment on closed branch premises recognized during the first quarter of 2026. Additionally, a $0.2 million positive MSR fair value adjustment included in the first quarter of 2026 results compared to a $0.3 million negative MSR fair value adjustment included in the fourth quarter of 2025 results.
Relative to the first quarter of 2025, noninterest income increased 17.6% from $9.3 million. The increase was primarily attributable to a $0.9 million increase in wealth management fees, primarily driven by higher values of assets under management and the additional assets under management following the CNB merger, as well as changes in the MSR fair value adjustment, with a $0.2 million positive MSR fair value adjustment included in the first quarter of 2026 results compared to a $0.3 million negative MSR fair value adjustment included in the first quarter of 2025 results.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2026 was $52.4 million, a 58.6% increase from the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to $15.7 million of nonrecurring acquisition-related expenses included in the first quarter 2026 results. Excluding acquisition-related expenses, the $4.7 million increase in noninterest expense was primarily attributable to higher base costs following the CNB merger, including a $3.2 million increase in employee salaries and benefits expense, which were also impacted by annual merit increases and higher medical benefits costs, and a $0.9 million increase in other noninterest expense.
Relative to the first quarter of 2025, noninterest expense increased 64.2% from $31.9 million. Excluding acquisition-related expenses, the $4.8 million increase in noninterest expense was primarily attributable to higher base costs following the CNB merger, including a $2.6 million increase in employee salaries and benefits expense, which was also a result of merit increases and higher medical benefits costs, a $1.1 million increase in other noninterest expense, and a $0.4 million increase in data processing expense.
Loan Portfolio
Total loans outstanding, before allowance for credit losses, were $4.69 billion at March 31, 2026, compared with $3.46 billion at December 31, 2025, and $3.46 billion at March 31, 2025. The $1.23 billion increase from December 31, 2025 included $1.30 billion of loans held for investment acquired in the CNB merger. Excluding this impact, the $65.6 million decrease from December 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to several larger pay offs due to refinancings across the multi-family, commercial real estate - non-owner occupied, and the municipal, consumer, and other segments, as well as an $8.0 million reduction on two lines of credit that funded shortly before and paid off after December 31, 2025. These headwinds were partially offset by $26.3 million in seasonal draws on grain elevator lines, as well as new originations within the construction and land development and commercial and industrial segments.
Deposits
Total deposits were $5.80 billion at March 31, 2026, compared with $4.36 billion at December 31, 2025, and $4.38 billion at March 31, 2025. The $1.44 billion increase from December 31, 2025 included $1.52 billion of deposits assumed in the CNB merger. Excluding the impact of the CNB merger, the $72.7 million decrease from December 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to an $88.9 million decrease in wealth management customer money market deposits, of which $85.0 million was moved off-balance sheet during the first quarter due to strong levels of on-balance sheet liquidity.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets totaled $14.4 million, or 0.21% of total assets, at March 31, 2026, compared with $8.7 million, or 0.17% of total assets, at December 31, 2025, and $5.6 million, or 0.11% of total assets, at March 31, 2025. The $5.7 million increase in nonperforming assets from December 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to the CNB merger, which added $6.1 million in nonperforming assets, primarily in the construction and land development segment. Additionally, of the $13.2 million of nonperforming loans held as of March 31, 2026, $2.3 million were either wholly or partially guaranteed by the U.S. government.
The Company recorded a negative provision for credit losses of $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2026. The negative provision for credit losses primarily reflects a $0.3 million decrease in specific reserves, partially offset by changes within the loan portfolio.
The Company had net charge-offs of $0.8 million, or 0.08% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the first quarter of 2026, compared to net charge-offs of $0.8 million, or 0.10% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the fourth quarter of 2025, and net charge-offs of $0.4 million, or 0.05% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the first quarter of 2025.
The Company's allowance for credit losses was 1.29% of total loans and 457% of nonperforming loans at March 31, 2026, compared with 1.21% of total loans and 552% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2025. In addition, the allowance for credit losses on unfunded lending-related commitments totaled $5.9 million as of March 31, 2026, compared with $4.1 million as of December 31, 2025.
