DEFIANCE, OH, July 23, 2026 -- SB Financial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SBFG) (“SB Financial” or the “Company”), a diversified financial services company providing full-service community banking, mortgage banking, wealth management, private client and title insurance services today reported earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights compared to the second quarter of the prior year include:

Six months ended June 30, 2026 Highlights compared to the same period of the prior-year:

“Net income for the second quarter of 2026 was $4.5 million, a 16.7 percent increase from the prior-year quarter, with GAAP DEPS of $0.72, an improvement of 20.0 percent from the prior-year quarter,” said Mark A. Klein, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “This marks our 62nd consecutive quarter of profitability and reflects the continued benefits of not only our expanded balance sheet scale, but also the sustained, robust performance of our diversified community banking and fee-based business lines.”

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In the second quarter of 2026, total operating revenue increased to $17.9 million, 4.5 percent improvement from $17.2 million in the prior-year quarter and 3.0 percent from $17.4 million in the linked quarter. The year-over-year increase was driven by higher net interest income, which was partially offset by a modest reduction in noninterest income due to lower net mortgage servicing fees. Net interest income for the quarter totaled $13.0 million, compared with $12.1 million in the prior-year period and $12.7 million in the linked quarter. The year-over-year expansion was driven by a rise in interest income on loans, which climbed to $17.5 million. Total interest expense increased to $6.9 million, up 8.3 percent from $6.3 million in the prior-year quarter, as slightly higher deposit costs were partially offset by lower costs across other funding sources. As a result, net interest margin decreased approximately 5 basis points from 3.48 percent in the prior-year quarter to 3.43 percent.

Total loans increased $94.8 million from the prior-year quarter and $8.4 million from the linked quarter. Total deposits at quarter end increased $141.3 million, or 11.3 percent, to $1.39 billion, supported by stable core deposit relationships and continued customer deposit gathering activities across the Company’s markets. Overall results for the quarter reflected continued balance sheet discipline, stable credit performance, and the benefit of a diversified revenue business model.

Mortgage Loan Business

Net mortgage banking revenue for the quarter reached $1.9 million, a decrease of $236,000 from the prior-year quarter. Loan servicing fees added $934,000 to revenue, reflecting an increase of $30,000 from the prior-year quarter. The OMSR net valuation adjustment for the second quarter of 2026 was a negative $54,000, compared with a recapture of $159,000 in the second quarter of 2025.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense

“Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2026 reached $5.0 million, proving highly resilient compared to the prior-year base of $5.0 million,” Mr. Klein noted. “Our wealth management fees improved to $955,000, from $859,000 a year ago, while title insurance contributed $577,000 to total revenue, illustrating the strength of our team's cross-functional internal referral strategies.”

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2026 rose 2.4 percent to $12.1 million from $11.9 million in the prior-year quarter, predominantly driven by an increase of $410,000 in salaries and employee benefits, which totaled $7.0 million, to support revenue-producing lenders. This increase was heavily mitigated by lower data-processing expenses, which decreased to $693,000 from $888,000 in the prior-year quarter as previous merger-related and systems-integration costs fully wound down. “Our core efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2026 improved to 67.32 percent, compared to 68.90 percent in the second quarter of 2025 and 68.12 percent in the linked quarter,” stated Mr. Klein. “This positive operating leverage reflects our disciplined approach to managing overhead while proactively funding expansion in our growth markets.”

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2026, SB Financial reported total assets of $1.62 billion, representing an increase of $74.7 million from December 31, 2025, and $133.8 million, or 9.0 percent, from June 30, 2025. The year-over-year asset growth was primarily driven by steady organic loan generation across commercial and agricultural lines. Cash and due from banks increased by $58.7 million from the prior-year period to $138.2 million, supported by sustained deposit gathering and investment portfolio cash flows. Key balance-sheet metrics for the quarter included a loan-to-deposit ratio of 85.51 percent and a loan-to-asset ratio of 73.43 percent, both of which remained well-aligned with target operating bands.

Total deposits at quarter end reached $1.39 billion, an increase of $141.3 million, or 11.3 percent, from the prior-year quarter, driven by strong client retention and expanded commercial deposit relationships. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits totaled $258.6 million, accounting for 18.6 percent of the total deposit portfolio. Shareholders’ equity finished the period at $146.7 million, representing an increase of $13.1 million, or 9.8 percent, from the prior-year period.

During the second quarter, SB Financial repurchased approximately 28,000 shares, roughly flat compared to the linked quarter, reflecting a measured approach to capital allocation and ongoing evaluation of market dynamics and corporate priorities during the period. The Company remains committed to a prudent capital allocation strategy, supporting shareholder returns through dividends and share buybacks while preserving the financial flexibility to fund organic expansion, strategic initiatives, and capital stability.

“As we enter the second half of 2026, we are operating from a strong fundamental foundation characterized by top-tier capital ratios, exceptional credit quality, and a resilient core deposit franchise,” stated Mr. Klein. “Our consistent organic loan expansion highlights our strong client relationship model and localized lending expertise, while our robust reserve coverage and near-zero delinquency levels reflect our disciplined approach to credit administration. Supported by our diverse fee-generating businesses and careful expense management, we are well-positioned to maintain positive operating leverage and drive long-term value for our shareholders.”

Asset Quality

As of June 30, 2026, SB Financial continued to report strong asset quality metrics. Nonperforming assets totaled $4.4 million, representing 0.27 percent of total assets, reflecting a decrease of $1.8 million from $6.2 million (0.41 percent of total assets) in the prior-year quarter. Within total nonperforming assets, nonaccruing loans declined to $3.5 million, while foreclosed properties and other assets stood at $936,000. The allowance for credit losses remained strong at 1.38 percent of total loans, providing coverage of 470.2 percent of nonperforming loans. This reserve level represents an improvement from the prior-year period, reflecting the Company’s disciplined credit risk framework. Annualized net loan charge-offs to average loans remained very low at 6 basis points, compared to 1 basis point in the linked quarter and 2 basis points in the prior-year quarter, with gross charge-offs totaling $196,000. Collectively, these metrics underscore SB Financial's continued focus on disciplined underwriting and effective credit administration.

“Our credit results for the second quarter continue to demonstrate excellent stability across the loan portfolio and steady progress in resolving nonperforming assets,” said Mr. Klein. “With nonperforming assets declining compared to the linked quarter and our allowance for credit losses providing coverage of nonperforming loans, our reserve position remains highly conservative. We remain committed to diligent underwriting and proactive risk management to protect the balance sheet as we support measured loan expansion across our markets.”
