EX-99.1 2 ea027403801ex99-1_commercial.htm PRESS RELEASE OF COMMERCIAL BANCGROUP, INC., DATED JANUARY 26, 2026

Exhibit 99.1

 

 

Commercial Bancgroup, Inc. Announces Results for the Fourth Quarter 2025

 

HARROGATE, TN –January 26, 2026 – Commercial Bancgroup, Inc. (“Commercial” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CBK), the parent company of Commercial Bank (the “Bank”), today announced net income less non-controlling interest of $9.9 million, or $0.72 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to net income less non-controlling interest of $5.6 million, or $0.46 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2024.

 

On October 1, 2025, the Company priced its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 7,173,092 shares of its common stock 1,458,343 of which were sold by Commercial and 5,714,758 of which were sold by certain selling shareholders, at a public offering price of $24.00 per share.

 

Prior to September 18, 2025, Commercial had three classes of common stock outstanding: common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock. On September 18, 2025, Commercial’s charter was amended and restated. The Company’s amended and restated charter provided for, among other things:

 

effective upon the filing of the amended and restated charter, the reclassification and conversion of (i) each outstanding share of Class B common stock into 1.15 shares of common stock and (ii) each outstanding share of Class C common stock into 1.05 shares of common stock (collectively, the “Stock Reclassification”); and

 

effective immediately following the Stock Reclassification, a 250-for-1 forward stock split in respect of the outstanding shares of our common stock (the “Stock Split”).

 

Our financial statements, including earnings per share and book value per share, reflect the stock Reclassification and Stock Split retroactively. Because the IPO occurred after September 30, 2025, the financial impacts of the IPO are reflected for the fourth quarter of 2025 in the financial statements presented in this press release.

Balance Sheet Trends

 

Total assets were $2.3 billion as of December 31, 2025, compared to $2.3 billion as of December 31, 2024. This was primarily due to a decrease in the loan portfolio during the first three quarters of the year offset by loan growth during the fourth quarter.

 

Total net loans were $1.9 billion as of December 31, 2025, an increase of $66.9 million, or 3.7%, from December 31, 2024. While the Bank experienced some large loan payoffs from long-term borrowers selling businesses during the year, the Bank had strong loan growth during the fourth quarter. Total net loans increased by $106.5 million or 6.1% from $1.7 billion as of September 30, 2025.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Bank exceeded the minimum requirements to be well-capitalized for bank regulatory purposes, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.1%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 13.1%, a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.1%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.8%.

 

Total deposits were $1.8 billion as of December 31, 2025, a decrease of $122.9 million, or 6.3%, from December 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by a $126.9 million reduction in brokered deposits to $48.0 million at December 31, 2025, from $174.9 million at December 31, 2024.

 

Noninterest bearing demand deposits increased $1.2 million, or 0.3%, to $397.8 million as of December 31, 2025, from $396.6 million as of December 31, 2024.

Non-brokered deposits were $1.8 billion as of December 31, 2025, an increase of $4.1 million, or 0.2%, from December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by normal customer business cycles.

 

Asset quality decreased slightly with nonperforming assets to total assets of .28% as of December 31, 2025 and compared to .26% as of December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses to total loans decreased slightly to 0.95% as of December 31, 2025 from 1.00% as of December 31, 2014.

 

Net Income Before Income Taxes

 

Net income before income taxes was $47.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $7.2 million, or 17.6%, from the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in net interest income after provision for credit losses of $4.5 million or 6.0% and a decrease of noninterest expense of $3.6 million or 7.8%.

 

Non-Interest Income

 

Non-interest income was $9.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 8.7%, from the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to one-time gains on the sale of bank property during 2024 of $0.4 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This press release contains certain financial measure(s) that are not financial measure(s) recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and, therefore, are considered non-GAAP financial measure(s) and should be read along with the accompanying reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measure(s) to GAAP financial measure(s). We use non-GAAP financial measures, certain of which are included in this press release, both to explain our operating results to shareholders and the investment community and to evaluate, analyze, and manage our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a better understanding of ongoing operations, enhance the comparability of results across periods, and enable investors to better understand our performance. However, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation and should be considered supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, the manner in which the non-GAAP financial measure(s) contained in this press release are calculated may differ from the manner in which measures with similar names are calculated by other companies. You should understand how other companies calculate their financial measures similar to, or with names similar to, the non-GAAP financial measure(s) contained in this press release when comparing such financial measures.

 

The non-GAAP financial measures in this press release include the following:

 

Core deposits.    We calculate core deposits by excluding jumbo time deposits (deposits greater than or equal to $250,000) from total deposits.

 

Core net income.    We define core net income as net income plus acquisition related expenses, net of the related tax effect of acquisition related expenses.

 

Core diluted earnings per share.    We define core diluted earnings per share as core net income divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

 

Core ROAA.    We define core ROAA as core net income divided by average assets, with average assets based upon the average daily balance of total assets in each year.

 

Core return on average tangible common equity.    We define core return on average tangible common equity as core net income divided by total average shareholders’ equity less average intangible assets (goodwill and core deposit intangibles).

 

Core efficiency ratio.    We define core efficiency ratio as operating revenue (net interest income, plus total noninterest income, divided by noninterest expenses (less acquisition related expenses). This ratio is an indicator used by our management to assess operating efficiencies and is intended to demonstrate how efficiently our management is controlling expenses relative to generating revenues on our core activities.

 

Efficiency Ratio.    We define efficiency ratio as operating expenses divided by fee income plus tax equivalent net interest income. This metric indicates how effectively the Company manages its expenses relative to its income, providing insights into cost management and profitability.

 

Pre-tax, pre-provision ROAA.    We define pre-tax, pre-provision ROAA as pre-tax, pre-provision net income divided by average assets calculated based upon the average daily balance of total assets in each year.

 

Tangible assets.    We define tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets.

 

Tangible book value per share.    We define tangible book value per share as our tangible common equity, which is shareholders’ equity reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

 

Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures permit investors to view our performance using the same tools that our management uses to evaluate our performance. In addition to the foregoing, our management believes that the “core” metrics described above assist users of the Company’s financial statements with their financial analysis period-over-period as they exclude certain non-recurring items. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our performance, these non-GAAP financial measures 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 these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the above non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP.
