Minerva, Ohio — July 29, 2026 (OTCQX: CBKM) Consumers Bancorp, Inc. (Consumers) today reported net income of $3.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, an increase of $665 thousand, or 29.0%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Earnings per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 were $0.94, compared with $0.73 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Net income increased by $2.5 million, or 28.8%, to $11.2 million, or $3.55 per share, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $8.7 million, or $2.77 per share, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025. The growth in net income was the result of a $5.7 million, or 16.6%, increase in net interest income because of an increase in interest earning assets combined with an increase in the net interest margin. The return on average equity was 13.11% and the return on average assets was 0.92% for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2026.
“Strong loan demand in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 contributed to record level of loans and commitments in fiscal year 2026. Across all loan categories, the bank booked $411.1 million in loan commitments in fiscal year 2026, a 52.3% increase over fiscal year 2025. Compared to the prior year, new commercial commitments increased by $106.1 million, or 80.1%; residential mortgage and home equity loan and line commitments increased by $17.7 million, or 34.7%; and new personal loans increased by $13.6 million, or 18.3%. Along with disbursements on previously committed residential and construction projects, the sales efforts behind these production results contributed to a 518-basis point increase in the bank’s loan to deposit ratio, which increased to 83.6%, and a 340-basis point increase in the loan to asset ratio, which increased to 73.2%, as of June 30, 2026, compared with the prior year. The higher yielding asset mix is reflected in the 24-basis point increase in the asset yield and a 10-basis point decrease in cost of funds, resulting in a 30-basis point increase in the net interest margin. While loan balances have increased at an 8.8% compounded annual growth rate since 2021, loan delinquency and nonperforming balances remain low and net charge-offs in fiscal year 2026 were limited to two basis points. Spurred by increases in debit and credit card interchange, customer interest rate swap fees, and mortgage banking revenue, noninterest income increased by 11.2% in fiscal year 2026 compared with fiscal year 2025. While these results reflect strong efforts across the organization, we are investing in management depth to address current and future succession needs; in business banking and retail sales talent in key markets; and in technology to enhance customer experience and to safeguard our data. In addition, we are investing in new markets that we expect to support future growth. As previously announced, plans for the bank’s first Mahoning County branch and for relocating our Dressler Road branch into the heart of Belden Village, Jackson Township’s primary retail, professional, and medical community are both moving forward,” said Ralph J. Lober II, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Quarterly Operating Results Overview
Net income was $3.0 million, or $0.94 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, $2.8 million, or $0.90 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and $2.3 million, or $0.73 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Net interest income was $10.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, $10.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, and $9.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025. The net interest margin was 3.47% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, 3.53% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and 3.39% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The yield on average interest-earning assets was 5.16% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared with 5.21% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and 5.03% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The cost of funds was 2.26% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared with 2.25% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and 2.23% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The increase in the net interest margin from the prior year is primarily a result of higher yields on interest-earning assets as funds have been reinvested at higher current market rates and a change in the balance sheet mix with more funds being invested in loans. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the net interest margin was positively impacted by higher commercial loan prepayment fee income that was recognized during that period.
The provision for credit losses was $380 thousand for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared with $480 thousand for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025. Net recoveries of $60 thousand were recorded for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared with net charge-offs of $57 thousand that were recorded for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025.
Other income increased by $160 thousand, or 11.3%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same prior year period primarily due to an increase of $86 thousand, or 13.9%, in debit card interchange income, $19 thousand, or 13.8%, in mortgage banking revenue, and $22 thousand, or 21.6%, in bank owned life insurance income because of the purchase of additional life insurance policies.
Other expenses increased by $530 thousand, or 7.1%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same prior year period. The increases were primarily in salaries and benefits and occupancy and software expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared with the same prior year period, because of additions to staff in the lending area and additional investments in software and security monitoring.
Year-to-Date Operating Results Overview

The provision for credit losses was $1.2 million for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared with $1.1 million for the same period last year.

Net charge-offs of $597 thousand, or 0.07% of total loans, were recorded for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2025.
Other income increased by $611 thousand, or 11.2%, for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same prior year period primarily due to $106 thousand of revenue recognized on interest rate swaps, mortgage banking income increasing by $121 thousand, or 30.3%, and debit card interchange income increasing by $209 thousand, or 8.4%.
Other expenses increased by $3.4 million, or 12.0%, for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same prior year period.

Occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $581 thousand, or 15.6%, compared with the same prior year period because of increases in software license expense, additional investments in security monitoring software, and increases in occupancy and premise expenses primarily because of the two new branch locations that were opened during the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 and second quarter of fiscal year 2026.
