PORTLAND, Maine, Jan. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northeast Bank (the “Bank”) (NASDAQ: NBN), a Maine-based bank, today reported net income of $20.7 million, or $2.47 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to net income of $22.4 million, or $2.74 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2025 was $43.3 million, or $5.14 per diluted common share, compared to $39.5 million, or $4.85 per diluted common share, for the six months ended December 31, 2024.
The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per share, payable on February 25, 2026, to shareholders of record as of February 11, 2026.
"The Bank generated strong loan activity during the second fiscal quarter,” said Rick Wayne, Chief Executive Officer. “Quarterly loan volume totaled $895.7 million, consisting of $532.9 million of purchased loans at an average price of 92.6% of unpaid principal balance, a record $252.4 million of National Lending originated loans, $39.8 million of SBA 7(a) loans and $70.6 million of insured small balance business loans. Total loans at December 31, 2025 were $4.35 billion, representing an increase of $594.4 million or 15.8% over June 30, 2025. The majority of the loan activity occurred late in the second fiscal quarter, resulting in minimal impact on the quarter's average loan balance of $3.89 billion and net interest income. This loan growth provides a strong tailwind for net interest income in the next and subsequent quarters. Our capital levels remain strong and provide us with the capacity to respond to opportunities available in the marketplace."
As of December 31, 2025, total assets were $4.95 billion, an increase of $668.2 million, or 15.6%, from total assets of $4.28 billion as of June 30, 2025, due to the following:

(1) Initial net investment basis on purchased loans is the initial amortized cost basis net of initial allowance for credit losses (credit mark).
(2) The total return on purchased loans represents scheduled accretion, accelerated accretion, gains (losses) on real estate owned, release of allowance for credit losses on purchased loans, and other noninterest income recorded during the period divided by the average invested balance on an annualized basis. The total return on purchased loans does not include the effect of purchased loan charge-offs or recoveries during the period. Total return on purchased loans is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. See reconciliation in below table entitled “Total Return on Purchased Loans.”
2. Deposits increased by $443.6 million, or 13.1%, from June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in time deposits of $457.9 million, or 20.4%, compared to the prior year. The significant drivers in the change in time deposits was an increase in brokered time deposits, which increased by $349.7 million, combined with an increase in Community Banking division time deposits of $102.9 million, compared to June 30, 2025.
3. Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances increased by $180.9 million, or 56.5%, from June 30, 2025. The increase was attributable to advances taken to fund a portion of the loan purchases during the quarter ended December 31, 2025.
4. Shareholders’ equity increased by $41.7 million, or 8.4%, from June 30, 2025, primarily due to net income of $43.3 million for the fiscal year to date through December 31, 2025, partially offset by the cancellation of restricted stock to cover tax obligations on restricted stock vests, which had a $1.4 million impact on shareholders' equity.
Net income decreased by $1.7 million to $20.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to net income of $22.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, due to the following:
1. Net interest and dividend income before provision for credit losses increased by $311 thousand to $48.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to $48.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the following:
-
- A decrease in deposit interest expense of $1.9 million, primarily due to lower rates on interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by higher average balances; partially offset by,
- A decrease in interest income earned on loans of $727 thousand, primarily due to lower rates earned across the portfolios, partially offset by higher average balances in the National Lending Division and SBA portfolios; and
- An increase in interest expense on FHLB advances of $478 thousand, due to higher average balances.

(1) The total return on purchased loans represents scheduled accretion, accelerated accretion, gains (losses) on real estate owned, release of allowance for credit losses on purchased loans, and other noninterest income recorded during the period divided by the average invested balance on an annualized basis. The total return on purchased loans does not include the effect of purchased loan charge-offs or recoveries during the period. Total return on purchased loans is considered a non-GAAP financial measure.
2. Provision for credit losses decreased by $1.1 million reflecting a provision of $875 thousand for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to a provision of $1.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
3. Noninterest income decreased by $3.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in gain on sale of SBA loans of $3.4 million, due to less sales resulting from the government shutdown during the quarter. There were sales of $25.1 million in SBA loans during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 as compared to sales of $64.5 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
4. Noninterest expense increased by $1.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to the following:
- An increase in salaries and employee benefits expense of $1.2 million, primarily due to increases in regular, stock and incentive compensation expense;
- An increase in loan expense of $586 thousand, primarily related to increased expenses in connection with the origination of SBA and small balance insured loans; and
- An increase in professional fees due of $209 thousand, primarily related to increased legal and audit costs; partially offset by
- A decrease in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance expense of $484 thousand, due to changes in the Bank's assessment rate.
5. Income tax expense decreased by $1.6 million to $9.4 million, or an effective tax rate of 31.1%, for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to income tax expense of $11.0 million, or an effective tax rate of 32.9%, for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in effective tax rate is primarily due to changes in state tax law.
As of December 31, 2025, nonperforming assets totaled $35.3 million, or 0.7% of total assets, compared to $35.6 million, or 0.8% of total assets, as of June 30, 2025.
As of December 31, 2025, past due loans totaled $36.4 million, or 0.8% of total loans, compared to past due loans totaling $30.1 million, or 0.8% of total loans, as of June 30, 2025.
As of December 31, 2025, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 12.2%, compared to 11.6% at June 30, 2025, and the Bank's Total risk-based capital ratio was 13.7% at December 31, 2025, compared to 14.7% at June 30, 2025. The Total risk-based capital ratio decreased primarily due to the increase in risk-weighted assets from significant loan growth from purchases during the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

(1) The net interest rate spread represents the difference between the weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets and the weighted-average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the period.
(2) Net interest margin is calculated as net interest income divided by total interest-earning assets.
(3) The efficiency ratio represents noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income (before the credit loss provision) plus noninterest income.
(4) For purposes of calculating this ratio, commercial real estate includes all non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans defined as such by regulatory guidance, including all land development and construction loans.
(5) Tangible book value per share represents total shareholders’ equity less the sum of preferred stock and intangible assets divided by common shares outstanding.
