ATLANTA, GA / ACCESS Newswire / October 28, 2026 / Georgia Banking Company, Inc. ("GBC" or the "Company"), the holding company for Georgia Banking Company (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $6.3 million, or $0.57 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2026, compared with net income of $5.6 million, or $0.60 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2026. Third-quarter 2026 results included $2.0 million of direct listing expenses and $493 thousand of merger and acquisition expenses, each before taxes.
"Our third-quarter results reflect the strength of our core banking franchise, the execution of our growth strategy and the investments we have made in our people and capabilities," said Bartow Morgan, Jr., Chief Executive Officer of GBC. "We continue to see attractive opportunities across our markets while maintaining a disciplined approach to credit, liquidity and capital. As our shares prepare to begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, our priorities remain clear: deliver exceptional service to our clients, generate sustainable and profitable growth and create long-term value for our shareholders."
2026 Third Quarter Highlights:
- Sequential and year-over-year comparisons are impacted by the merger with Tandem Bancorp, Inc. ("Tandem"), which closed on June 1, 2026 and was fully integrated on September 21, 2026;
- Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings were $10.5 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 20.4%, from the second quarter 2026. Pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings, which exclude direct listing and merger and acquisition expenses, were $12.9 million, an increase of $750 thousand, or 6.2%, from the prior quarter;
- Net interest income increased $2.3 million, or 8.0%, from the prior quarter;
- Net interest margin was 4.17% compared with 4.31% in the prior quarter, with the decrease primarily reflecting higher interest expense on other borrowed funds associated with the Company's subordinated debt refinancing during the quarter;
- Average loans increased $158.3 million, or 6.7%, from the prior quarter to $2.5 billion. Loan growth was primarily attributable to an increase in commercial real estate and single-family residential loans from the prior quarter;
- Average total interest-bearing deposits increased $268.5 million, or 15.7%, from the prior quarter to $2.0 billion, inclusive of the impact of the Tandem acquisition;
- Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 26.0% of period-end total deposits. GBC's average cost of total deposits nonannualized, including noninterest-bearing deposits, increased 2 basis points from the prior quarter to 0.58%, and decreased 7 basis points from the year-ago quarter;
- Provision for credit losses was $2.0 million compared to $1.1 million in the prior quarter and $734 thousand in third quarter 2025. Net charge-offs were 0.16% of average loans outstanding (annualized) for the quarter, while the nonperforming loan ratio was 0.99% of total loans held for investment at quarter end compared to 0.83% in the prior quarter.

- Named a Top Workplace by Axios for the fourth consecutive year, an honor based entirely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2026
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
For the three months ended September 30, 2026, net interest income before provision for credit losses was $31.4 million and net interest margin was 4.17% compared to $29.1 million and 4.31%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The approximately $2.3 million increase, or 8.0%, in net interest income before provision for credit losses was primarily due to a $4.6 million increase in interest income on loans held for investment, including fees, a $1.2 million increase in interest income on deposits with banks and federal funds sold and a $1.2 million decrease in interest expense on FHLB advances. The increase was partially offset by a $2.7 million increase in interest expense on transaction and savings accounts and a $1.6 million decrease in interest income on loans held for sale. Net interest margin decreased 14 basis points compared to the three months ended June 30, 2026 primarily due to an increase in interest expense on other borrowed funds as a result of restructuring our subordinated debt during the three months ended September 30, 2026.
Compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025, net interest income before provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2026 increased by $4.0 million, or 14.8%. The increase was primarily due to a $5.7 million increase in interest income on loans held for investment, including fees, a $2.0 million decrease in interest expense on FHLB advances and a $1.0 million increase in interest-bearing deposits with banks. The increase was partially offset by a $2.5 million increase in interest expense on transaction and savings accounts and a $2.4 million decrease in interest income on loans held for sale. Net interest margin decreased 20 basis points compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to a decrease in loan yields.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of $451 thousand, or 13.8%, from the three months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease was primarily due to a $342 thousand decrease in mortgage banking activity.
Compared with the three months ended September 30, 2025, noninterest income increased $1.0 million, or 57.1%. The increase primarily reflected a $672 thousand increase in gain on sale of loans, a $298 thousand increase in service charges and fees, and a $286 thousand increase in mortgage banking activity, partially offset by decreases in other noninterest income categories.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense was $23.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $23.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $104 thousand, or 0.4%. Excluding direct listing and merger and acquisition expenses, the change included a $717 thousand increase in salaries and employee benefits, primarily related to employees retained in connection with the Tandem acquisition and hiring associated with the Company's direct listing on Nasdaq.
Compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025, noninterest expense increased $5.3 million, or 29.0%. Excluding direct listing and merger and acquisition expenses, the increase primarily reflected a $1.8 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, primarily related to employees retained in connection with the Tandem acquisition and hiring associated with the Company's direct listing on Nasdaq, and an $859 thousand increase in communications, data processing and equipment expense.
Financial Condition
Total loans, net, were $2.56 billion at September 30, 2026, an increase of $1.1 million from June 30, 2026. The change reflected $128.8 million of growth in loans held for investment, largely offset by a $126.5 million decrease in loans held for sale and the effect of related netting items included in total loans, net.
Total deposits were $2.70 billion at September 30, 2026, a decrease of $136.2 million from June 30, 2026. The decrease reflected a $171.8 million decline in interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $35.6 million increase in noninterest-bearing deposits.
Credit Quality
Nonperforming assets totaled $22.1 million, or 0.70% of total assets, at September 30, 2026, compared to $17.3 million, or 0.53% of total assets, at June 30, 2026. The Company recorded net charge-offs of $893 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2026. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans outstanding were 16 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to no net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 17 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, annualized net charge-offs to average loans outstanding were 13 bps compared to 7 bps for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans held for investment was 1.36%, 1.39% and 1.43% at September 30, 2026, June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.0 million, $1.1 million and $734 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2026, June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively. The recorded provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2026, was primarily attributable to an increase in general reserves as a result of changes in economic factors, portfolio mix and specific reserves. The balance for unfunded commitments for the three months ended September 30, 2026 remained relatively stable compared to the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the Company recorded no provision for or benefit from credit losses on unfunded commitments during the third quarter of 2026.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
GBC's management uses certain non-GAAP (U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures to evaluate its operating performance and provide information that it believes is important to investors, because they, among other things, present the results of GBC's ongoing operations without the effect of mergers and acquisitions or other items not central to GBC's ongoing business, as well as normalize for tax effects and certain other effects. Management, therefore, believes presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of GBC, and management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assess the performance of GBC as relative to prior financial period. However, non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, GBC's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, GBC reviews and reports tangible book value per common share; operating earnings; tangible common equity to tangible assets; return on average tangible common equity; pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings; pre-tax, pre-provision operating return on average assets; pre-tax, pre-provision operating return on average loans; diluted operating earnings per share; operating return on average assets; operating return on average tangible common equity; and operating efficiency ratio. GBC has included in this earnings release information related to these non-GAAP financial measures for the applicable periods presented. Please refer to "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" after the financial highlights at the end of this earnings release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
We identify certain financial measures discussed in this earnings release as being "non-GAAP financial measures." In accordance with SEC rules, 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, in our statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and other statistical measures or ratios calculated using exclusively either one or both of (i) financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and (ii) operating measures or other measures that are not non-GAAP financial measures.
The non-GAAP financial measures that we present in this earnings release should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that we present in this earnings release may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. You should understand how such other financial institutions calculate their financial measures that appear to be similar or have similar names to the non-GAAP financial measures we have discussed in this earnings release when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.
Tangible Book Value Per Common Share. Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as total shareholders' equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (b) tangible book value per common share as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by the number of common stock and non-voting common stock outstanding. For tangible book value per common share, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is book value per common share.
We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per common share exclusive of changes in core deposit intangibles. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing our tangible book value.
The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, total shareholders' equity to tangible common equity and presents our tangible book value per common share compared with our book value per common share:

Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets. Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as total shareholders' equity, less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; (b) tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (c) tangible common equity to tangible assets as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by tangible assets (as described in clause (b)). For tangible common equity to tangible assets, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is total shareholders' equity to total assets.
We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period in common equity and total assets, in each case, exclusive of changes in core deposit intangibles. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing both total shareholders' equity and assets while not increasing our tangible common equity or tangible assets.

Return on Average Tangible Common Equity. Return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) net income available for common shareholders adjusted for amortization of core deposit intangibles (which we refer to as "return") as net income, plus amortization of core deposit intangibles, less tax benefit at the statutory rate; (b) average tangible common equity as total average shareholders' equity less average goodwill and average core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (c) return (as described in clause (a)) divided by average tangible common equity (as described in clause (b)). For return on average tangible common equity, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is return on average equity.
We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the return on common equity, exclusive of the impact of core deposit intangibles. Goodwill and core deposit intangibles have the effect of increasing total shareholders' equity while not increasing our tangible common equity. This measure is particularly relevant to acquisitive institutions that may have higher balances in goodwill and core deposit intangibles than non-acquisitive institutions.
The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, average tangible common equity to average common equity and net income available for common shareholders adjusted for amortization of core deposit intangibles, net of taxes to net income and presents our return on average tangible common equity:

Operating earnings, pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings and the performance metrics calculated using these metrics, listed below, are non-GAAP measures used by management to evaluate the Company's financial performance. We calculate (a) operating earnings as net income plus direct listing expenses, plus merger and acquisition expenses, less tax impact of adjustments. We calculate (b) diluted operating earnings per share as operating earnings as described in clause (a) divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. We calculate (c) pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings as operating earnings as described in clause (a) plus provision for income taxes, plus provision for credit losses and unfunded commitments. We calculate (d) pre-tax, pre-provision operating return on average assets as pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings as described in clause (c) divided by total average assets. We calculate (e) operating return on average assets as operating earnings as described in clause (a) divided by total average assets. We calculate (f) operating return on average tangible common equity as operating earnings as described in clause (a), adjusted for the amortization of intangibles and tax benefit at the statutory rate, divided by total average tangible common equity (average shareholders' equity less average goodwill and average core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization). We calculate (g) operating efficiency ratio as noninterest expense plus adjustments to operating noninterest expense divided by noninterest income plus adjustments to operating noninterest income, plus net interest income.
We believe that these measures and the operating metrics calculated utilizing these measures are important to management and many investors in the marketplace who are interested in understanding the ongoing operating performance of the Company and provide meaningful comparisons to its peers.
