FLORENCE, Ore.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#InvestorRelations–Oregon Pacific Bancorp (ORPB), the holding company of Oregon Pacific Bank, today reported net income of $2.2 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to $2.0 million or $0.28 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

“We’re excited to announce our third quarter results, highlighted by robust deposit growth and stronger profitability,” said Ron Green, President and CEO. “Our expanded net interest margin, along with disciplined management of noninterest expenses, have contributed to improved financial performance. As we navigate the current economic landscape, we believe the strength of our community bank model—anchored in local relationships and tailored service—is essential for delivering lasting value to our customers and shareholders.”

Period-end deposits expanded to $728.4 million, reflecting quarterly growth of $28.7 million, or 16.65%. A portion of this increase was due to deposit activity related to a terminating trust activity in the bank’s trust department. Trust Assets Under Management (AUM) are typically invested in securities or real estate and do not appear on the bank’s balance sheet. However, depending on beneficiaries’ cash requirements and the timing of final distributions, some trust assets may be held in cash. Currently, the cash portion of all trust client balances is held at Oregon Pacific Bank and protected by FDIC insurance through IntraFi’s Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) product. These cash balances are included in the bank’s total interest-bearing demand deposits. As of September 30, 2025, the new terminating trust held $9.0 million in cash. These funds are expected to leave the bank’s balance sheet during the fourth quarter as the trust department completes final distributions.

The bank’s third quarter net interest margin increased to 3.88%, up from 3.85% reported in the second quarter of 2025. The expansion was primarily attributable to an increase in the yield on loans and securities. Despite a 0.25% reduction in the prime rate, which occurred on September 18, 2025, the reduction in yield on variable loans and securities was more than offset by the increase in yield due to new loan production or securities purchases. Quarterly loan production for new and renewed loans totaled $32.1 million, with a weighted average effective rate of 6.99% and a weighted-average repricing life of 1.86 years.

During the third quarter, the bank’s securities portfolio increased by $19.7 million, bringing the total to $162.0 million. The bank purchased $22.1 million in securities during this period, with a weighted average life of 7.88 years and a weighted average yield of 4.89%. These purchases focused on low coupon mortgage-backed securities acquired at discounts, which carry a low risk of extension in a declining interest rate environment. This approach provides the bank with additional protection if rates fall. The purchases were prompted by higher liquidity, primarily resulting from quarterly deposit growth. Notably, this quarter marked the bank’s first securities purchases since the fourth quarter of 2022.

For the third quarter, the provision for credit losses was $505 thousand, while the provision for unfunded commitments was $123 thousand. The increase in provisions was primarily driven by the quarterly update of the economic forecasts used in the bank’s allowance for credit losses model. Due to a less favorable outlook for unemployment and GDP, the model indicated that additional reserves were necessary.

Classified assets on September 30, 2025, reflected an increase of $3.1 million from the second quarter of 2025, defined as loans and loan contingent liabilities internally graded substandard or worse, impaired loans, adversely classified securities and other real estate owned. During the quarter there were three relationships that migrated to substandard, totaling approximately $2.9 million. Two of the relationships are operating businesses experiencing cash flow challenges but are actively realigning expenses and revenues and are being monitored closely. One of the relationships is a $1.0 million asset-based line of credit that is appropriately margined with collateral and cash flow is seasonally associated with the construction industry. The other relationship is a business term loan and owner-occupied commercial real estate totaling approximately $1.0 million and is experiencing challenges with closing down a satellite office. Both relationships are being monitored closely with active plans for improvement, and no losses are anticipated. The third relationship is a nonowner-occupied real estate loan totaling approximately $900 thousand. The loan-to-value is strong at 63% but the property has experienced challenges with leasing a portion of the building. The property is expected to meet annual cash flow coverage requirements by year-end.

For the third quarter, noninterest income reached $2.2 million, reflecting a $99 thousand increase compared to the previous quarter. The most significant change was observed in merchant card services, driven by a seasonal uptick in tourism among the bank’s merchant clients in the coastal community of Florence, Oregon.

In the third quarter of 2025, noninterest expense totaled $6.3 million, reflecting a decrease of $177 thousand compared to the previous quarter. The most significant change occurred in salaries and employee benefits, which declined by $151 thousand. This reduction was primarily driven by a $75 thousand decrease in the officer bonus accrual, following a true-up process that aligned the accrual with updated year-end payout projections.

The bank also completed a true-up of its Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) during the quarter, as it continues to self-fund a portion of employees’ deductibles. With projected year-end utilization tracking below prior accrual levels, the quarterly accrual for the HRA was reduced by $39 thousand.

In addition, the bank saw a decrease in outside services expenses, largely attributable to a change in its managed service provider effective June 30, 2025. During the second quarter, the bank incurred approximately $60 thousand in duplicated expenses to ensure uninterrupted service for clients and employees in preparation for the conversion. These duplicated services were discontinued as of June 30, resulting in cost savings on a linked quarter basis.
