EXHIBIT 99.1
Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2026 Earnings of $0.39 Per Share;
Board Approves Quarterly Dividend at $0.105 per Share
EAU CLAIRE, WI, April 27, 2026 - Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CZWI), the parent company of Citizens Community Federal N.A. (the “Bank” or “CCFBank”), today reported earnings of $3.8 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.39 for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $4.3 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.44 for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and $3.2 million and $0.32 earnings per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, respectively.
The Company’s first quarter 2026 operating results reflected the following changes from the fourth quarter of 2025: (1) loan growth of $17.9 million, or 1.3%; (2) deposit growth of 2.7% to $1.57 billion; (3) an increase in net interest margin of 3 basis points highlighted by a 5 basis points increase in loan yields and an 8 basis point decline in deposit costs partially offset by a decline in cash and investment yields; (4) a slight decrease in net interest income largely due to the impact of 2 fewer business days during the first quarter; (5) increased provision for credit losses of $0.55 million; (6) higher non-interest income of $0.4 million; (7) higher non-interest expense of $0.1 million; and (8) higher tax expense of $0.3 million.
Book value per share improved to $19.82 at March 31, 2026, compared to $19.54 at December 31, 2025, and $18.02 at March 31, 2025. Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP)1 was $16.52 at March 31, 2026, compared to $16.23 at December 31, 2025, and increased 11.7% from $14.79 at March 31, 2025. For the first quarter of 2026, the increase in tangible book value was primarily due to the increase in net income in the quarter, along with the impact of lower unrealized losses on the available for sale investment portfolio, partially offset by payment of the quarterly dividend. Stockholders’ equity as a percentage of total assets was 10.47% at March 31, 2026, compared to 10.55% at December 31, 2025, with the decline largely due to modest asset growth. Tangible common equity (“TCE”) as a percent of tangible assets (non-GAAP)1 was 8.88% at March 31, 2026, compared to 8.92% at December 31, 2025.
“Loan and deposit growth held strong even during the seasonal low point of our year with loans expanding at an annualized rate of 5.3% from the linked quarter. Mortgage and government guaranteed lending activities were a bright spot during the quarter and expenses were well-managed. Loan pipelines remain solid entering April as we approach balance sheet repricing in the back half of the year. There was no share buyback activity in the quarter, although 113 thousand shares remained under the current buyback authorization. Our capital position remained strong with TCE of 8.9% to support organic growth, dividends, share buybacks and M&A activity,” stated Stephen Bianchi, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer.

March 31, 2026, Highlights:
•Quarterly earnings were $3.8 million, or $0.39 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, a decrease compared to earnings of $4.3 million, or $0.44 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and an increase from $3.2 million, or $0.32 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
•Pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”) increased 5.8% during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, to $5.38 million from $5.09 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and increased 44.5% from $3.72 million over the past year.
•Net interest income decreased $0.1 million to $13.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, from $13.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and increased from $11.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in net interest income from the fourth quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a net decrease of $0.25 million due to the impact of 2 fewer business days. Partially offsetting the fewer days was the impact of higher loan yields, lower deposit costs, and a decrease in interest-bearing cash yield.
•Net interest margin increased 3 basis points to 3.18% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and increased 33 basis points from the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net interest margin from the prior quarter was due to higher loan yields and lower deposit costs, partially offset by lower yields on cash and investment securities and the growth of lower yielding interest-bearing cash.
•The provision for credit losses was $0.75 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to a provision for credit losses of $0.20 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, and a negative provision for credit losses of $0.25 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Factors affecting the March 31, 2026, provision for credit losses include: (1) a net increase of $0.4 million due to increases in reserves on impaired loans, partially offset by lower loss rates on collectively evaluated loans; (2) modest charge-offs of $0.2 million; (3) an increase in economic scenarios based on information provided by our third-party model provider of $0.1 million; and (4) the net impact of new loan growth, net of a decrease in the portfolio duration of $0.05 million. The allowance for credit losses on loans increased to $23.0 million or 132% of total nonperforming loans and 1.69% of total loans.
•Non-interest income increased by $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2026 to $3.1 million from $2.7 million in the prior quarter and increased $0.5 million from $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in the first quarter of 2026 from the fourth quarter of 2025 was primarily due to higher gains on sale of loans due in part to the backlog of SBA loans unable to be sold during the fourth quarter of 2025 due to the government shutdown and sold in the first quarter. The increase of non-interest income in the first quarter of 2026, from the first quarter of 2025, was primarily due to higher gains on the sale of loans.
•Non-interest expense increased $55 thousand from the previous quarter and increased $0.2 million from $10.5 million for the first quarter of 2025. The slight increase in non-interest expense compared to the linked quarter was largely due to higher compensation items reflecting higher benefit costs and professional fees. The $0.2 million increase from the first quarter of 2025 was largely due to higher compensation and benefit expenses, partially offset by lower data processing.
•The effective tax rate was 18.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to 12.6% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and 19.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2026 from the fourth quarter of 2025 was largely due to the full year benefit of a new tax credit investment recognized in the fourth quarter of 2025, based on the vast majority of 2025 funding of the tax credit occurring in the fourth quarter. The lower effective tax rate in the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to one year earlier reflects the benefit of the purchased tax credit investment.

•Loans receivable increased $17.9 million during the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, to $1.358 billion compared to the prior quarter end. The increase was largely due to growth in new C&I loan originations, commercial real estate and construction fundings partially offset by planned runoff of the residential portfolio from the fourth quarter.
•Nonperforming assets reflected in government guaranteed and non-guaranteed loans offset by repayments on existing nonperforming loans, resulted in a total increase in nonperforming assets of $1.5 million to $18.2 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $16.7 million at December 31, 2025. The government guaranteed portion of nonperforming assets increased $1.4 million to $2.4 million at March 31, 2026. The non-guaranteed portion of the loans originated with partial government guarantees increased $0.6 million to $1.5 million at March 31, 2026. There are specific reserves of approximately 50% on the non-guaranteed government loans.
•Special mention loans increased $1.4 million to $25.9 million at March 31, 2026, from December 31, 2025.
•Substandard loans increased $1.1 million to $22.5 million at March 31, 2026, from December 31, 2025, largely due to $1.4 million increase on fully guaranteed government secured non-performing loans.
•Total deposits increased $41.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, to $1.566 billion. This was largely due to seasonal growth in public deposits of $29.6 million and the addition of commercial non-interest bearing deposits totaling $15.7 million received late in the first quarter that were expectedly withdrawn after the quarter ended.
•The efficiency ratio was 66% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to 68% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 and 73% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
•On April 24, 2026, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.105 per share. The dividend will be payable on May 22, 2026, to shareholders of record on May 8, 2026.
•The Company did not repurchase any shares during the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Approximately 113 thousand shares remained available to purchase under the current authorization as of March 31, 2026.
Balance Sheet and Asset Quality
Total assets increased by $41.2 million during the quarter to $1.823 billion at March 31, 2026.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $30.3 million as interest-bearing cash increased due to cash provided by deposit growth, partially offset by loan growth.
The on-balance sheet liquidity ratio, which is defined as the fair market value of available-for-sale (“AFS”) and held-to-maturity (“HTM”) securities that are not pledged and cash on deposit with other financial institutions, was 16.2% of total assets at March 31, 2026, compared to 14.8% of total assets at December 31, 2025. On-balance sheet liquidity, collateralized new borrowing capacity, and uncommitted federal funds borrowing availability was $799 million, or 248%, of uninsured and uncollateralized deposits at March 31, 2026, and $792 million, or 243% at December 31, 2025.
AFS securities decreased $3.2 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, to $130.9 million from $134.1 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease was largely related to principal repayments of $3.0 million, corporate debt security redemptions of $1.3 million, partially offset by purchases of new corporate debt securities of $0.8 million and a decrease in the unrealized loss on AFS securities of $0.3 million.
HTM securities decreased $1.2 million to $79.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, from $80.2 million at December 31, 2025, due to principal repayments.
Loans receivable increased $17.9 million, or 1.3% increase during the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, to $1.358 billion compared to the prior quarter end as loan growth was realized in commercial real estate, construction and C&I loans.

The office loan portfolio consisted of seventy loans totaling $31 million at March 31, 2026, compared to seventy-one loans totaling $32 million at December 31, 2025. Criticized loans in the office loan portfolio for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, totaled $0.2 million, compared to $0.2 million at December 31, 2025, and there have been no charge-offs in the trailing twelve months. The Company has one bank holding company loan for $5 million which constitutes the only non-depository financial institution exposure.
The allowance for credit losses on loans increased by $0.6 million to $23.0 million at March 31, 2026, representing 1.69% of total loans receivable compared to 1.67% of total loans receivable at December 31, 2025, and 132% of total nonperforming loans at March 31, 2026. The provision for credit losses was $0.75 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to a provision for credit losses of $0.20 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and a negative provision for credit losses of $0.25 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Factors affecting the March 31, 2026, provision for credit losses include: (1) a net increase of $0.4 million due to increases in reserves on impaired loans, partially offset by lower loss rates on collectively evaluated loans; (2) modest charge-offs of $0.2 million; (3) an increase in economic scenarios based on information provided by our third-party model provider of $0.1 million; and (4) the net impact of new loan growth, net of a decrease in the portfolio duration of $0.05 million.

Review of Operations
Net interest income decreased $0.1 million to $13.0 million for the current quarter ended March 31, 2026, from $13.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and increased from $11.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Net interest income for the first quarter of 2026 was impacted by $0.25 million less net interest income due to 2 fewer business days during the quarter. Loan yields increased 5 basis points during the quarter due to new loan originations and repricing existing loans at higher rates. Total asset yield decreased largely due to seasonal deposit increases in public funds and commercial checking accounts invested in lower yielding interest-bearing cash at the Federal Reserve. Deposit costs decreased 8 basis points during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 to 2.49% from 2.57% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The combination of higher loan yields and lower deposit costs resulted in a net interest margin increase of 3 basis points to 3.18% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to 3.15% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and an increase of 33 basis points from the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Non-interest income increased by $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2026 to $3.1 million from $2.7 million in the prior quarter and increased $0.5 million from $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in the first quarter of 2026, from the fourth quarter of 2025, was primarily due to higher gains on the sale of loans. The fourth quarter of 2025 non-interest income was partially impacted by the government shutdown in the fourth quarter which delayed sales of SBA loans. The increase of non-interest income in the first quarter of 2026, from the first quarter of 2025, was primarily due to higher gains on sale of loans.
6
Non-interest expense increased $0.1 million to $10.8 million from $10.7 million for the previous quarter and increased $0.2 million from $10.5 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase in non-interest expense compared to the linked quarter was largely due to higher compensation items, reflecting higher benefit costs. The increase from the first quarter of 2025 was largely due to higher compensation and benefit expenses reflecting annual salary increases, offset partially by lower data processing expenses.
Provision for income taxes was $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. The effective tax rate was 18.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to 12.6% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and 19.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2026 from the fourth quarter of 2025 was largely due to the full year impact of a new tax credit investment recognized in the fourth quarter of 2025, based on the vast majority of 2025 funding of the tax credit occurring in the fourth quarter.
Certain items previously reported may be reclassified for consistency with the current presentation. These financial results are preliminary until the Form 10-Q is filed in May 2026.

1 Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, such as tangible book value, tangible book value per share, tangible common equity as a percent of tangible assets and return on average tangible common equity, which management believes may be helpful in understanding the Company’s results of operations or financial position and comparing results over different periods.
Tangible book value, tangible book value per share, tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets and return on average tangible common equity are non-GAAP measures that eliminate the impact of goodwill and intangible assets on our financial position. Management believes these measures are useful in assessing the strength of our financial position.
Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in this press release. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other banks and financial institutions.

Credit Quality/Risk Ratings: Management utilizes a numeric risk rating system to identify and quantify the Bank’s risk of loss within its loan portfolio. Ratings are initially assigned prior to funding the loan and may be changed at any time as circumstances warrant. Ratings range from the highest to lowest quality based on factors that include measurements of ability to pay, collateral type and value, borrower stability and management experience. The Bank’s loan portfolio is presented below in accordance with the risk rating framework that has been commonly adopted by the federal banking agencies. The definitions of the various risk rating categories are as follows: 1 through 4 - Pass. A “Pass” loan means that the condition of the borrower and the performance of the loan is satisfactory or better. 5 - Watch. A “Watch” loan has clearly identifiable developing weaknesses that deserve additional attention from management. Weaknesses that are not corrected or mitigated may jeopardize the ability of the borrower to repay the loan in the future. 6 - Special Mention. A “Special Mention” loan has one or more potential weakness that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the institution’s credit position in the future. 7 - Substandard. A “Substandard” loan is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Assets classified as substandard must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. 8 - Doubtful. A “Doubtful” loan has all the weaknesses inherent in a “Substandard” loan with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. 9 - Loss. Loans classified as “Loss” are considered uncollectible, and their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, and a partial recovery may occur in the future. As of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, September 30, 2025, and March 31, 2025, there were no loans classified as “Doubtful” with a risk rating of 8 and no loans classified as “Loss” with a risk rating of 9. Residential and consumer loans are typically not rated until they are past due 90 days at month-end which is why they are classified as “Pass” graded 1-5 and once past due or have a history of delinquencies, get assigned a grade 7. 17

Fair Value Accounting ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The topic describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1- Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Level 2- Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3- Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input within the valuation hierarchy that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value of securities available for sale is determined by obtaining market price quotes from independent third parties wherever such quotes are available (Level 1 inputs); or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). Where such quotes are not available, we utilize independent third party valuation analysis to support our own estimates and judgments in determining fair value (Level 3 inputs). Fair Value Table The table below represents what we would receive to sell an asset or what we would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments as of the dates indicated below were as follows: March 31, 2026 Valuation Method Used Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents (Level I) $ 149,202 $ 149,202 Securities available for sale “AFS” (Level II) 130,876 130,876 Securities held to maturity “HTM” (Level II) 79,014 63,020 Farmer Mac equity securities (Level I) 430 430 Preferred equity (Level III) 1,125 1,125 Equity investments valued at NAV (1) N/A 4,423 N/A Other investments (Level II) 12,498 12,498 Loans receivable, net (Level III) 1,335,286 1,321,105 Loans held for sale - Residential mortgage (Level I) 654 654 Loans held for sale - SBA /FSA (Level II) — — Mortgage servicing rights (Level III) 3,484 4,811 Accrued interest receivable (Level I) 5,827 5,827 Financial liabilities: Deposits (excluding demand deposits) (Level III) $ 901,542 $ 901,314 Other borrowings (Level II) 51,844 50,250 Accrued interest payable (Level I) 3,245 3,245 (1) Investments valued at NAV are excluded from being reported under the fair value hierarchy but are presented to permit reconciliation with the balance sheet in accordance with ASC 820-10-35-54B. 28

Pre-Provision Net Revenue (PPNR) 9 Pre-Provision Net Revenue (“PPNR”) is defined as net interest income plus total non-interest income minus total non-interest expense. This measure is a non-GAAP financial measure since it excludes the provision for (recovery of) credit losses included in net income. This measure should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. Pre-provision net revenue includes net interest income recognized on the payoff of nonaccrual loans and loans with purchase credit discounts of $0.3 million and $1.1 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025, and June 30, 2025, respectively.
