CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2026 Results

BROOKFIELD, Wis., July 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company" or "CIB Marine") (OTCQX: CIBH), the holding company of CIBM Bank (the "Bank"), announced its unaudited results of operations and financial condition for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026. Net income for the quarter increased to $0.9 million, or $0.69 basic and $0.68 diluted net income per share, compared to $0.7 million or $0.49 basic and $0.48 diluted net income per share, for the same quarter of 2025. For the six-month period, net income increased to $1.5 million, or $1.14 basic and $1.12 diluted net income per share from $1.0 million, or $0.73 basic and $0.71 diluted net income per share, for the same period in 2025.

Financial highlights for the quarter include:

• Net interest margin increased to 3.03% compared to 2.96% for the first quarter of 2026 and 2.69% for the second quarter of 2025; and to 3.00% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 2.65% for the same period of 2025. The rising trend continued as the cost of funds declined at a faster pace than earning asset yields. Net interest income increased $0.5 million for the quarter compared to the same quarter of 2025, and by $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period of 2025, primarily as a result of an improved net interest margin that more than offset the impact of lower average earning asset balances.

• Net income for the Banking and Mortgage Divisions increased by $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The Banking Division's increase was driven primarily by higher net interest income, which more than offset increased provisions for credit losses. The Mortgage Division's improved results were primarily attributable to effective cost management, as mortgage origination volumes remain low due to higher mortgage rates and limited housing inventory.
• The allowance for credit losses to loans declined to 1.20% at June 30, 2026, from 1.27% at December 31, 2025, primarily due to charge-offs of individually assessed loans. Non-performing assets to total assets and non-accrual loans to loans improved to 0.87% and 1.09%, respectively, on June 30, 2026, compared to 1.04% and 1.31%, respectively, on December 31, 2025.
• Since year-end 2025, loan balances decreased by $6 million, reflecting lower origination activity, while deposit balances grew by $6 million, allowing CIBM Bank to reduce total borrowings. The Company is targeting growth in loan portfolio balances during the remainder of 2026, primarily within its commercial lending segments.

Mr. J. Brian Chaffin, CIB Marine's President and CEO, commented, "Earnings improved due to net interest margin expansion and expense management. Net interest margin for CIBM Bank was 3.09% for the second quarter, up from 2.75% in the same quarter of 2025, reflecting growth in new customer relationships supported by increased marketing activities, together with the continued repricing of loans and deposits."

Regarding the Company's common stock repurchase plan, he added, "Purchases of CIBH stock for the first half of 2026 totaled $1.2 million at a weighted average price of $38.33 per share. Since February 2025, we have repurchased 5% of our outstanding stock at a price of $36.17 per share, utilizing $2.5 million of the $3.5 million authorized through 2026."

Finally, he concluded, "At mid-year we have reported continued performance improvements. Our focus for the remainder of 2026 is to build on that momentum and achieve our performance goals through even stronger results from our banking and mortgage teams."
