Muncy Columbia Financial Corporation Announces First Quarter 2026 Earnings

 

Bloomsburg, PA – Muncy Columbia Financial Corporation (“Corporation”) (OTCQX: CCFN), parent company of Journey Bank (“Bank”), has released its unaudited consolidated financial results for the first quarter of 2026.

 

Unaudited Financial Information

 

Net income, as reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), for the first quarter 2026 was $7,156,000, or $2.02 per share, compared to $4,345,000, or $1.23 per share, for the first quarter 2025. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.72% and 14.83%, respectively, for the first quarter 2026 as compared to 1.10% and 10.33%, respectively, for the first quarter 2025.

 

Net interest income of $16,443,000 for the first quarter 2026 increased $2,575,000 from the first quarter 2025 reflecting an increase in total interest and dividend income of $2,060,000 and a decrease of $515,000 in total interest expense. The fully-tax equivalent net interest margin was 4.33% for the first quarter 2026 as compared to 3.83% for the first quarter 2025.

 

For the first quarter 2026, a $69,000 provision for credit losses was recorded compared to a $110,000 provision for the first quarter 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the allowance for credit losses to total loans was 0.84% compared to 0.85% as of December 31, 2025.

 

Total non-interest income increased $45,000 to $2,490,000 for the first quarter 2026, compared to the first quarter 2025 amount of $2,445,000. For the first quarter 2026, a $637,000 loss on sale of loans was recorded, compared to a gain on sale of loans of $83,000 for the first quarter 2025. On January 28, 2026, the Bank entered into an Asset Purchase and Interim Servicing Agreement pursuant to which the Bank agreed to sell a portfolio of 82 individual delinquent, nonperforming or reperforming 1-4 family residential mortgage loans. The purchase price was approximately $9.1 million and was paid in cash. The outstanding principal balance of the loans was approximately $9.8 million. The resulting pretax loss of $714,000 was recognized during the first quarter 2026. This loss was partially offset by ongoing gains on sale of loans of $77,000 recognized during the first quarter 2026. Other significant variances in total non-interest income included an increase in gains (losses) on marketable equity securities of $113,000 due to market value changes comparing the first quarter 2026 to the first quarter 2025 and an increase in other non-interest income of $580,000 due primarily to a sales tax refund received from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania of $454,000 during the first quarter 2026 resulting from a state sales and use tax review engagement.

 

Total non-interest expense decreased $894,000 from $11,091,000 for the first quarter 2025, to $10,197,000 for the first quarter 2026. Salaries and employee benefits expense of $5,333,000 for the first quarter 2026 decreased $987,000 from $6,320,000 for the first quarter 2025. The Corporation recorded one-time pretax expenses totaling $1,295,000 in conjunction with the retirement of its Executive Chairman during the first quarter 2025. This decrease was partially offset by health insurance expenses associated with the Corporation’s partially self-funded health insurance plan which were $165,000 higher in the first quarter 2026 than the first quarter 2025 along with ongoing salary and wage increases for employees. Other significant variances in total non-interest expense included an increase in professional fees of $196,000 due primarily to fees paid in conjunction with the sales and use tax review engagement noted above and a decrease in automated teller machine and interchange expenses of $102,000 due primarily to lower automated teller machine processing expenses comparing the first quarter 2026 to the first quarter 2025.

 

Total assets amounted to $1,717,328,000 at March 31, 2026, as compared to $1,673,199,000 at December 31, 2025. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents increased $11,897,000, available-for-sale debt securities increased $27,948,000 and loans receivable held for investment increased by $3,938,000. Total liabilities amounted to $1,525,270,000 at March 31, 2026, as compared to $1,480,658,000 at December 31, 2025. Total deposits increased $40,816,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, representing strong organic deposit growth. Dividends payable at March 31, 2026, reflect the Corporation’s special one-time cash dividend of $1.00 per share which was declared on February 18, 2026, and is payable on April 23, 2026, to shareholders of record as of April 8, 2026.

 

Total non-performing assets amounted to $9,360,000 or 0.55% of total assets at March 31, 2026, as compared to $11,978,000 or 0.72% of total assets at December 31, 2025. The decrease in non-performing assets was primarily attributable to a decrease in non-accrual loans from $11,523,000 at December 31, 2025, to $9,095,000 at March 31, 2026. The decrease in non-accrual loans during the first quarter 2026 was largely driven by the loan sale noted above.

Total stockholders’ equity equated to a book value per share of $54.29 at March 31, 2026, as compared with $54.44 at December 31, 2025. For the first quarter 2026 total cash dividends of $1.46 per share were declared, which includes the impact of a special one-time cash dividend of $1.00 per share, as compared to $0.45 for the same period of 2025. The Corporation remains well capitalized, with an equity to assets ratio of 11.18% at March 31, 2026, as compared to 11.51% at December 31, 2025.
