Muncy Columbia Financial Corporation Announces Fourth Quarter 2025 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 fourth quarter of 2025.

 

Unaudited Financial Information

 

Muncy Columbia Financial Corporation reported record earnings for the fourth quarter 2025 and year ended December 31, 2025. Net income, as reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), for the fourth quarter 2025 was $7,393,000, or $2.09 per share, compared to $5,224,000, or $1.47 per share, for the fourth quarter 2024. Net income, as reported under GAAP, for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $24,225,000, or $6.85 per share compared to $19,023,000, or $5.33 per share for the same period in 2024. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.77% and 15.49%, respectively, for the fourth quarter 2025 as compared to 1.30% and 12.30%, respectively, for the fourth quarter 2024.

 

Net interest income of $16,272,000 for the fourth quarter 2025 was up $2,876,000 from the fourth quarter 2024 reflecting an increase in total interest and dividend income of $2,046,000 and a decrease of $830,000 in total interest expense. The fully-tax equivalent net interest margin was 4.27% for the fourth quarter 2025 as compared to 3.63% for the fourth quarter 2024.

 

For the fourth quarter 2025, a $4,000 credit for credit losses was recorded compared to a $567,000 provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter 2024. As of December 31, 2025 the allowance for credit losses to total loans was 0.85% compared to 0.88% as of December 31, 2024.

 

Total non-interest income increased $80,000 to $2,789,000 for the fourth quarter 2025, compared to the fourth quarter 2024 amount of $2,709,000. Total non-interest expense increased $640,000 from $9,455,000 for the fourth quarter 2024, to $10,095,000 for the fourth quarter 2025. Significant variances in total non-interest expense included an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $420,000 due primarily to increases in salaries expense of $123,000, health care expense of $159,000 and other employee benefits of $138,000, an increase in professional fees of $199,000 due primarily to higher internal and external audit fees and consulting costs and an increase in other non-interest expense of $105,000 due primarily to higher overall marketing and advertising costs as well as higher foreclosure and loan workout expenses comparing the fourth quarter 2025 to the fourth quarter 2024.

 

Total assets amounted to $1,673,199,000 at December 31, 2025, as compared to $1,595,958,000 at December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents increased $31,160,000, available-for-sale debt securities increased $3,997,000 and loans receivable, not held for sale, increased by $51,644,000. Total liabilities amounted to $1,480,658,000 at December 31, 2025, as compared to $1,429,548,000 at December 31, 2024. Total deposits increased $120,323,000 while short-term borrowings decreased $55,933,000 and long-term borrowings decreased $14,952,000 during the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

The increase in total deposits during the year ended December 31, 2025 was as a result of strong organic deposit growth in combination with the continued execution of a strategic initiative to reposition customer repurchase agreements, which are classified as short-term borrowings, into core deposit accounts. The Bank anticipates the completion of this project in 2026 which will assist in optimizing the Bank’s long-term liquidity needs and balance sheet management strategies.  

 

Total non-performing assets amounted to $11,978,000 or 0.72% of total assets at December 31, 2025 as compared to $10,117,000 or 0.63% of total assets at December 31, 2024. The increase in non-performing assets was attributable to an increase in non-accrual loans from $10,047,000 at December 31, 2024 to $11,523,000 at December 31, 2025. Both total non-performing assets and non-accrual loans decreased during the fourth quarter 2025 from their respective amounts at September 30, 2025 of $15,536,000 and $15,466,000.

 

Total stockholders’ equity equated to a book value per share of $54.44 at December 31, 2025 as compared with $47.11 at December 31, 2024. For the fourth quarter 2025 total cash dividends of $0.45 per share were paid to stockholders as compared to $0.44 for the same period of 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, total cash dividends of $2.30 per share were paid to stockholders, which includes the impact of a special one-time cash dividend of $0.50 per share, as compared to $1.76 for the same period of 2024. The Corporation remains well capitalized, with an equity to assets ratio of 11.51% at December 31, 2025 as compared to 10.43% at December 31, 2024.
