SCOTTSDALE, AZ / ACCESS Newswire / August 7, 2025 / Bancorp 34, Inc. (OTCQB:BCTF), the parent company for Southwest Heritage Bank, together, the "Company" reports second quarter of 2025 performance.

Management Comments - Ciaran McMullan, Chairman & CEO

  • Return on Average Assets above 1% for the second consecutive quarter.

  • Cost of Funds continues to decline as we focus on reducing deposit pricing in line with market conditions.

  • $65.4 million in New Loan Commitments1 year-to-date offset by early payoffs and normal portfolio amortization.

  • An additional Lender added as focus on recruitment in the C&I sector continues.

2Q25 Highlights

Net Income and NIM

  • Net income was unchanged over the linked quarter, improved by 55.4% over Q2 2024, and was positively impacted by one-time recovery of $1.25M.

  • Core3 NIM improved by 18 bps due to a reduction in cost of funds of 9 bps and improved yield on earning assets.

  • Non-interest expense declined slightly over the linked quarter but declined 8.9% over Q2 2024 driven primarily by reduced salary expense and elevated merger costs in Q2 2025.

Balance Sheet

  • Total deposits declined by $19.1M or 2.4%, consistent with historical second quarter trends, and have increased year-to-date by $2.5M.

  • Deposit mix has improved significantly during 2025 with CD's declining by $28M or 11.6%.

  • Total loans remained unchanged, year-over-year decline driven by significant portfolio de-risking post-merger in 2024.

Asset Quality

  • NPA5 improved during the quarter due to a combination of payoffs and risk-rating upgrades.

  • An ACL recovery of $1.25M related to final repayment of loan charged off in 2022.

Capital
  • TBVPS increased by $0.33 during the quarter and by $1.53 post-merger, with $0.14 year-to-date due to AOCI.

  • Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 11.86%

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS - Certain statements herein constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements may be identified by words such as "believes," "will," "expects," "project," "may," "could," "developments," "strategic," "launching," "opportunities," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "plans," "targets" and similar expressions. These statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the Company's management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors. Factors that could cause such differences to exist include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, changes in interest rates, the effects of any health pandemic, regulatory considerations, competition and the other risks. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this release. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we assume no obligation to update any of these statements in light of new information, future events or otherwise unless required under federal securities laws.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES - Some of the financial measures included in this release are not measures of financial performance recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures include: (i) core net income; (ii) core net interest margin; (iii) core ROAA; (iv) core ROAE (v) core ROATA; (vi) core ROATE; (vii) core NIE to average assets; and (viii) core efficiency ratio. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and management with a more complete understanding of our financial position and performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP financial measures. Not all companies use the same calculation of these measures; therefore, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as presented by other companies. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables.
