Insights

Q1 2026 shows stronger earnings, improved margin, and solid credit quality.

Auburn National Bancorporation delivered higher profitability in Q1 2026, with net earnings of $2.2 million versus $1.5 million a year earlier. Earnings benefited from tax-equivalent net interest income of $7.8 million, noninterest income of $0.9 million, and a negative provision for credit losses of $(76) thousand.

Core banking performance improved: net interest margin expanded to 3.28% from 3.09% in Q1 2025, supported by higher yields on earning assets and lower costs on interest-bearing deposits. Return on average equity rose to 9.65% and return on average assets to 0.86%, indicating better overall profitability.

Credit metrics show some charge-off activity but remain conservative. Annualized net charge-offs increased to 0.28% of average loans, largely tied to one fully charged-off nonperforming loan. Even so, nonperforming assets were only 0.01% of total assets, and the allowance for credit losses was $6.8 million, or 1.16% of loans at March 31, 2026.

net interest margin financial
"Net interest margin (tax-equivalent) was 3.28% in the first quarter of 2026"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
provision for credit losses financial
"The Company recorded a negative provision for credit losses of $(76) thousand in the first quarter of 2026"
Provision for credit losses is an amount set aside by a financial institution to cover potential future losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution manage risks and stay financially healthy. For investors, it signals how cautious a lender is about potential loan defaults and can impact the company's profitability and financial stability.
allowance for credit losses financial
"the Company’s allowance for credit losses was $6.8 million or 1.16% of total loans"
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
nonperforming assets financial
"Nonperforming assets were $0.1 million, or 0.01% of total assets, at March 31, 2026"
Nonperforming assets are loans or investments that are not generating expected payments or returns because the borrower has fallen behind on payments or the investment has lost value. They matter to investors because a high level of nonperforming assets can indicate financial trouble for a bank or institution, potentially affecting its stability and profitability.
efficiency ratio financial
"Efficiency ratio (b) 67.63% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026"
A measure of how much a company spends to produce each dollar of revenue, usually shown as operating expenses divided by revenue and expressed as a percentage. Think of it as a household’s budget: a lower percentage means more of each dollar earned stays as profit, while a higher number means costs are eating into returns. Investors use it to judge cost control and compare how efficiently companies turn revenue into earnings, especially in banks and financial firms.
current expected credit losses ("CECL") financial
"the Company established a new loan segment within its CECL calculation for municipal loans"
An accounting standard that requires lenders and other firms holding loans or credit-like assets to estimate and record the lifetime expected losses up front, rather than waiting for losses to occur. Think of it as setting aside an insurance fund based on what could go wrong over the life of a loan; it matters to investors because larger or earlier reserves reduce reported profits, affect a company’s capital and lending capacity, and signal how conservatively risks are being managed.
Net earnings $2.2 million vs $1.7 million in Q4 2025 and $1.5 million in Q1 2025
Earnings per share $0.63 vs $0.48 in Q4 2025 and $0.44 in Q1 2025

Auburn National Bancorporation, Inc. Reports First Quarter Net Earnings

First Quarter 2026 vs. First Quarter 2025 Highlights:

 

   

Earnings per share increased 43%

 

   

Net interest income increased 10%

 

   

Net interest margin (tax-equivalent) increased 19 basis points to 3.28%

 

   

Controlled expenses – noninterest expense largely unchanged

 

   

Return on assets (annualized) improved to 0.86%, compared to 0.62% in 1Q 2025

 

   

Nonperforming assets decreased to 0.01% of total assets

AUBURN, Alabama – Auburn National Bancorporation, Inc. (Nasdaq: AUBN) reported net earnings of $2.2 million, or $0.63 per share, for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $1.7 million, or $0.48 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2025, and $1.5 million, or $0.44 per share, for the first quarter of 2025.

“Our first quarter results reflect strong revenue growth as net interest income and mortgage lending income both improved,” said David A. Hedges, President and CEO. “Although net charge-offs increased during the quarter, primarily due to one nonperforming loan that was fully charged-off, our asset quality, capital, and liquidity remain strong and we’re encouraged to report first quarter annualized loan growth of 12%,” continued Mr. Hedges.

Net interest income (tax-equivalent) was $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2026 and the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $7.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. This increase was due to growth in average interest earning assets and improvements in our net interest margin.

Net interest margin (tax-equivalent) was 3.28% in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 3.24% in the fourth quarter of 2025 and 3.09% in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in net interest margin was primarily due to higher yields on earning assets, a decrease in our cost of interest-bearing deposits, and a more favorable asset mix. Average loans were approximately $577.5 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $559.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, and $566.1 million in the first quarter of 2025.

Nonperforming assets were $0.1 million, or 0.01% of total assets, at March 31, 2026, compared to $0.5 million, or 0.05% of total assets at both December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025. The decrease from December 31, 2025 was primarily due to one individually evaluated nonperforming loan that was fully charged-off.

Net charge-offs were $402 thousand, or 0.28% of average loans on an annualized basis for the first quarter of 2026, compared to net charge-offs of $304 thousand, or 0.22% of average loans on an annualized basis for the fourth quarter of 2025, and net charge-offs of $64 thousand, or 0.05% of average loans on an annualized basis for the first quarter of 2025. Net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2026 and fourth quarter of 2025 were primarily related to the nonperforming loan referenced above.

At March 31, 2026, the Company’s allowance for credit losses was $6.8 million or 1.16% of total loans, compared to $7.2 million, or 1.27% of total loans at December 31, 2025, and $6.8 million, or 1.20% of total loans at March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to refinements in the Company’s calculation of current expected credit losses (“CECL”). During the first quarter of 2026, the Company established a new loan segment within its CECL calculation for municipal loans, which reduced the allowance for credit losses due to lower expected credit costs associated with these loans. Prior to this change, municipal loans were included in the commercial and industrial loan segment for CECL.

The Company recorded a negative provision for credit losses of $(76) thousand in the first quarter of 2026, compared to a provision for credit losses of $783 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2025 and a negative provision of $(10) thousand in the first quarter of 2025. The provision for credit losses is affected by changes in overall balance and composition of our loan portfolio and unfunded commitments, our internal assessment of the credit quality of the loan portfolio, our expectations about future economic conditions, and net charge-offs. The provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2025 was primarily due to two commercial real estate loans that were individually evaluated. A specific reserve was established for one loan and the other nonperforming loan was partially charged-off.

Noninterest income was $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $0.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to mortgage lending income.

Noninterest expense was $5.9 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $5.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $5.9 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 was primarily related to salaries and benefits, net occupancy and equipment, and professional fees expense. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, noninterest expense was largely unchanged as a decrease in net occupancy and equipment expense was largely offset by an increase in professional fees expense.

The provision for income tax expense was $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $0.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2025.

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 was 21.53%, compared to 21.50% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 20.40% for the first quarter of 2025. The Company’s effective income tax rate is principally affected by tax-exempt earnings from the Company’s investments in municipal securities and loans, bank-owned life insurance, and New Markets Tax Credits.

At March 31, 2026, the Company’s stockholders’ equity was $93.1 million, or $26.62 per share, compared to $92.1 million, or $26.35 per share, at December 31, 2025 and $83.1 million, or $23.79 per share, at March 31, 2025. The Company’s equity-to-assets ratio was 9.06% at March 31, 2026, compared to 9.04% at December 31, 2025 and 8.34% at March 31, 2025. All of the Company’s marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale. Therefore, any changes in the fair value of the Company’s securities portfolio are reflected in total equity, net of tax, under generally accepted accounting principles, but do not affect our capital for regulatory purposes.

The Company paid cash dividends of $0.27 per share in the first quarter of 2026. At March 31, 2026, the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios were well above the minimum amounts required to be “well capitalized” under current regulatory standards.

All statements with respect to our objectives, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions and all statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements through our use of words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “continue,” “designed,” “plan,” “point to,” “project,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “seek” and other similar words and expressions of the future. Forward looking statements, include, without limitation, statements about future financial and operating results, costs and revenues, government policies and changes in policies, including Federal Reserve monetary and regulatory actions. Forward looking statements also include statements about economic conditions generally in our markets and which may affect us, loan demand, mortgage lending activity, changes in the mix of our earning assets (including those generating tax exempt income or tax credits) and our mix and cost of deposits and wholesale liabilities, net interest income and margin, yields on earning assets, the market values and performance of securities held, effects of inflation and employment, including Federal Reserve monetary policies.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may be beyond our control, and which may cause the actual results, performance, achievements and/or financial condition of the Company or the Bank to be materially different from future results, performance, achievements or financial condition expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Explanation of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The attached financial highlights include certain designated net interest income amounts presented on a tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP financial measure. Tax-equivalent net interest income is used in the calculation of our net interest margin and efficiency ratio. In the first quarter of 2026, we changed the presentation of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis to account for tax-exempt interest income on municipal loans. Also, we reclassified average net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities to average other assets so that average total securities are presented on an amortized cost basis in our calculation of net interest margin. Prior period amounts, including the presentation and calculation of our net interest margin and efficiency ratio, have been revised herein to conform with the current period presentation. These changes had no effect on the presentation of GAAP net interest income in current or prior periods.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance and believes the presentation of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis provides comparability of net interest income from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and facilitates comparability within the industry. Similarly, the efficiency ratio is a common measure that facilitates comparability with other financial institutions. Although the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of its business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. Along with the attached financial highlights, the Company provides reconciliations between the GAAP financial measures and these non-GAAP financial measures.

(1)

In the first quarter of 2026, we changed the presentation of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis to account for tax-exempt interest income on municipal loans. Also, we reclassified average net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities to average other assets so that average total securities are presented on an amortized cost basis in our calculation of net interest margin. Prior period amounts, including the presentation and calculation of our net interest margin, have been revised to conform with the current period presentation.

(2)

Loans on nonaccrual status have been included in the computation of average balances.

(3)

Reflects tax-equivalent adjustments, using the statutory federal income tax rate of 21%, in adjusting interest on tax-exempt loans and securities to a tax-equivalent basis.

(4)

Securities are included on an amortized cost basis with yield and net interest margin calculated accordingly.

(5)

Includes average net unrealized gains (losses) on securities available-for-sale of $(26.2), $(25.9), and $(33.9) million for the quarters ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively.
