MATTOON, Ill., Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — First Mid Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FMBH) (the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Highlights

  • Net income of $33.3 million, or $1.25 diluted EPS
  • Adjusted quarterly net income* of $33.6 million, or $1.26 diluted EPS
  • Announced pending acquisition of Evergreen Bancshares, Inc. (“Evergreen”)
  • Total loans of $6.85 billion, quarterly decrease of $85.8 million
  • Total deposits of $7.62 billion, quarterly increase of $44.2 million
  • Quarterly return on average assets of 1.45%
  • In late October, 2026 the Company completed the sale of investment securities with a weighted average yield of 1.51% for a loss of $14.8 million, which provided $175.8 million in cash. The proceeds are expected to be reinvested at higher rates with an earn back period of less than 2 years.
  • Agreed to acquire Winship Farm Management in Putnam, IL, which is expected to add over 8,600 acres under management over the next 3 years
  • Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.26 per share

“We delivered another strong period of financial results highlighted by a record high quarter of earnings. Asset quality was strong with lower classifieds and negligible net charge-offs during the quarter. Deposit growth was solid, while loan growth was pressured due to higher payoff activity from customer collateral sales. We continue to put a strategic focus on revenue diversification and fee business growth through the acquisition of Winship Farm Management,” said Matthew Smith, Chief Executive Officer.

“I am pleased to announce our pending acquisition of Evergreen Bancshares and its subsidiary American Bank of Freedom. We are excited to welcome their employees and customers to the First Mid family. This acquisition will deepen and extend our presence in Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana while better positioning us to move past the $10 billion asset threshold,” Smith concluded.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2026 was $79.4 million, a decrease of $0.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2026. The decrease was primarily driven by a decline in average loan balances for the quarter along with an increase in the cost of funding from rate increases and continued deposit pricing competition. Interest income increased by $1.8 million, while interest expense increased by $2.1 million during the period. Accretion income for the third quarter was $3.8 million which was in line with the prior quarter.

In comparison to the third quarter of 2025, net interest income increased $13.0 million, or 19.6%. Interest income was higher by $20.6 million, inclusive of a $0.7 million increase in accretion income. The increase was primarily driven by organic earning asset growth along with the addition of Two Rivers Bank & Trust (“Two Rivers”). Interest expense was higher by $7.6 million compared to the third quarter of last year primarily from higher overall deposit balances including the addition of Two Rivers.

On October 26th, 2026 the Company sold investment securities with a weighted average yield of 1.51% for a loss of $14.8 million, which provided $175.8 million in cash. The transaction will be reflected in the fourth quarter financial results. The Company expects to reinvest this cash at higher rates with an expected earn back period of less than 2 years.

Net Interest Margin
Net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis*, was 3.76% for the third quarter of 2026 representing a decrease of 3 basis points from the prior quarter. The yield on earning assets improved by 6 basis points compared to the second quarter, but was outpaced by the increase in the average cost of funds. The increase in the average cost of funds was primarily from overall rate movements and deposit pricing competition.

Loan Portfolio
Total loans ended the quarter at $6.85 billion, representing a decrease of $85.8 million for the quarter on a combination of elevated payoffs and disciplined pricing decisions. The decrease for the quarter was primarily in commercial real estate loans. This was primarily driven by the partial collateral sale of a multi-location business and subsequent loan payoff. Growth in other portfolios was well diversified.

Asset Quality
Asset quality improved for the quarter with overall criticized assets declining $45.9 million. Special mention loans decreased by $37.6 million to $101.5 million and substandard loans decreased by $8.3 million to $131.6 million. Non-performing loans had a modest increase of $1.8 million to $43.1 million. The declines in criticized assets were primarily driven by a combination of upgrades, paydowns, and external refinances.

The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) ended the period at $86.5 million and the ACL to total loans ratio was 1.26%, which was a 1 basis point increase compared to the second quarter of 2026. In addition to the overall ACL, an unearned discount of $37.1 million remains at quarter end. Provision expense of $0.3 million was released during the quarter due to lower loan balances as well as minimal net charge offs of $0.2 million.

The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.63%, which was an increase from 0.60% in the prior quarter. The ACL to non-performing loans ratio was 201%, a decrease from 211% in the prior quarter primarily from the modest increase in non-performing loans and the slight decline in the ACL during the quarter. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets remained flat compared to the prior quarter at 0.51%.

Deposits
Total deposits ended the quarter at $7.62 billion, which represented an increase of $44.2 million from the prior quarter. Money market accounts had the largest growth compared to the prior quarter with a $198.8 million increase. This growth was driven by the Company’s deposit product refresh in early 2026 and continued marketing of these products. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits for the quarter was 2.16%, an increase of 18 basis points from the end of the previous quarter, primarily due to overall rate movements and continued deposit pricing competition.

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2026 was $27.2 million compared to $28.8 million in the prior quarter and $22.9 million in the third quarter of 2025.

Wealth management revenues for the quarter were $7.4 million. Revenues decreased $0.8 million compared to the second quarter primarily from seasonality. Overall Ag Services revenue was $2.0 million in the period compared to $1.9 million in the prior quarter and $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2025. Insurance commissions for the quarter were $7.5 million, which was $1.3 million lower than the second quarter due to seasonality of contingent revenues. Third quarter insurance commissions were an increase of $0.4 million compared to the third quarter of 2025.

Non-Interest Expenses
Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2026 totaled $65.0 million compared to $70.6 million in the second quarter of 2026. This decrease was primarily due to lower one-time merger-related costs that were recognized in the second quarter. During the third quarter, acquisition-related expenses related to Two Rivers totaled $0.4 million compared to $7.1 million in the prior quarter. Salaries and benefits expense increased by $1.0 million compared to the prior quarter primarily due to additional variable compensation for overperformance compared to plan.

The Company’s efficiency ratio*, as adjusted in the non-GAAP reconciliation table herein, for the third quarter of 2026 was 56.13% compared to 54.39% in the prior quarter and 58.75% for the same period last year.

Capital Levels and Dividend
The Company’s capital levels remained strong and above the “well capitalized” levels. Capital levels ended the period as follows:

Total capital to risk-weighted assets 15.79%
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 14.39%
Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 13.91%
Leverage ratio 11.29%
   

Tangible book value per share* decreased $0.06, or 0.2% during the third quarter of 2026. The decrease was driven by an increase in the Company’s unrealized loss position in its investment portfolio of $32.3 million. This increase in the unrealized loss position lowered tangible book value per share* by $1.21 which was materially offset by earnings growth. During the quarter, the Company paid off $10.0 million of subordinated debt with cash on hand.

The Company’s Board of Directors declared its regular quarterly dividend of $0.26 payable on December 1, 2026 to the shareholders of record as of November 16, 2026.
