MENDOTA, Ill., July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tri-County Financial Group, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCQX: TYFG) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2026.

Net income for the second quarter of 2026 was $4.1 million ($1.73 per share), compared to $3.5 million ($1.47 per share) during the second quarter of 2025, which is approximately a 17% increase.  Net income was $8.6 million ($3.61 per share) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to $6.1 million ($2.54 per share) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025.

Net interest income was $14.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $12.2 million in the same period of 2025, an increase of 16%. 

Non-interest income was $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 5%, compared to $4.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2025.  

Non-interest expense was $11.8 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $12.2 million for the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 3%. 

Our investment portfolio consists entirely of debt securities classified as available-for-sale; therefore, unrealized gains and losses are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders' equity.  None of our securities are classified as held-to-maturity.  The investment portfolio decreased $0.5 million year-over- year and totaled $147.6 million at June 30, 2026, as compared to $148.2 million at June 30, 2025. 

Total loans decreased $13.7 million, or 1%, to $1.29 billion at June 30, 2026, from $1.30 billion at June 30, 2025.  Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.46% as of June 30, 2026, compared to 0.29% at June 30, 2025.

The total credit loss expense was $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to a credit loss recovery of $0.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.  The increase this quarter is predominantly attributed to credit loss expense on unfunded commitments, which had an increase of $51 million from the prior quarter, and resulted in a reserve adjustment of $1.2 million this quarter.  The allowance for credit loss was $14.8 million at June 30, 2026 and represented 1.15% of gross loans, compared to $14.7 million at June 30, 2025 and 1.13% of gross loans.  Asset quality remains strong overall, despite a slight increase in nonperforming loans year-over-year.   

Total deposits increased by $28.0 million, year-over-year.  Total deposits were $1.297 billion at June 30, 2026, which consisted of approximately $10.0 million of brokered deposits.  Total deposits were $1.269 billion at June 30, 2025, which consisted of approximately $32.5 million of brokered deposits.  Without factoring in brokered deposits, total deposits increased approximately $50.5 million year-over-year.  Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances were $45.9 million and $86.9 million at June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. 

On June 9, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a regular dividend of $0.28 per share, payable July 9, 2026, to shareholders of record on June 30, 2026.

In announcing the results, Tri-County Financial Group, Inc.
