Press release

FIRST CAPITAL, INC. REPORTS RECORD ANNUAL AND QUARTERLY EARNINGS

Corydon, Indiana — (BUSINESS WIRE) — January 23, 2026.  First Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:  FCAP), the holding company for First Harrison Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $16.4 million, or $4.89 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net income of $11.9 million, or $3.57 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

Net interest income after provision for credit losses increased $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.  Interest income increased $6.4 million when comparing the two periods due to an increase in the average tax-equivalent yield(1) on interest-earning assets from 4.49% for the year ended December 31, 2024 to 4.85% for the same period in 2025, in addition to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets from $1.14 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $1.19 billion for the same period in 2025.  Interest expense increased $16,000 when comparing the two periods.  The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 1.73% for the year ended December 31, 2024 to 1.66% for the same period in 2025, while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased from $850.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $886.0 million for the same period in 2025. As a result of the changes in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the tax-equivalent net interest margin(1) increased from 3.20% for the year ended December 31, 2024 to 3.61% for the same period in 2025. Refer to the accompanying average balance sheet for more information regarding changes in the composition of the Company’s balance sheet and resulting yields and costs from the year ended December 31, 2024 to the year ended December 31, 2025.

Based on management’s analysis of the Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) on loans and unfunded loan commitments, the provision for credit losses decreased from $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease primarily reflected a lower incremental change in estimated lifetime expected credit losses under the Bank’s ACL methodology for loans and unfunded commitments compared to prior year.  The Bank recognized net charge-offs of $317,000 and $173,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Noninterest income increased $809,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to the Company recognizing a $149,000 gain on equity securities for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to a $374,000 loss on equity securities for the year ended December 31, 2024.  In addition, the Company recognized a $238,000 increase in gains on sale of loans as well as an increase of $73,000 in ATM and debit card fee income when comparing the two periods.  These increases were partially offset by the Company recognizing a net $94,000 loss on sale of available for sale securities during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to a net $32,000 gain on sale of available for sale securities for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Noninterest expenses increased $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. This was primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits and occupancy and equipment expenses of $1.3 million and $472,000, respectively. The increase in compensation and benefits is due to increases in salary and wages associated with annual cost of living and performance related adjustments as well as increases in the cost of Company-provided health insurance benefits.  The increase in occupancy and equipment expenses is primarily due to costs associated with snow removal across the Company’s branch network in the first quarter of 2025, as well as losses on the disposal of premises and equipment associated with two of the Bank’s branches, the upgrade of the Company’s call center system, and the demolition of one of the Bank’s branches.  

Income tax expense increased $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 resulting in an effective tax rate of 17.7% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 15.6% for the same period in 2024.  The increase in the Bank’s effective tax rate for the year reflects a higher proportion of net income being subject to taxation compared to the same period last year.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported net income of $4.9 million, or $1.46 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.3 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, for the same period in 2024.

Net interest income after provision for credit losses increased $1.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.  Interest income increased $1.6 million when comparing the two periods due to an increase in the average tax-equivalent yield(1) on interest-earning assets from 4.64% for the fourth quarter of 2024 to 4.99% for the same period in 2025, in addition to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets from $1.15 billion for the fourth quarter of 2024 to $1.20 billion for the same period in 2025.  Interest expense decreased $182,000 as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 1.76% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 to 1.63% for the same period in 2025 while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased from $859.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 to $886.3 million for the same period in 2025.  As a result of the changes in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the tax-equivalent net interest margin(1) increased from 3.33% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 to 3.79% for the same period in 2025. Refer to the accompanying average balance sheet for more information regarding changes in the composition of the Company’s balance sheet and resulting yields and costs from the quarter ended December 31, 2024 to the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

(1) Reconciliations of the non–U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) measures are set forth at the end of this press release.

Based on management’s analysis of the ACL on loans and unfunded loan commitments, the provision for credit losses increased from $346,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 to $350,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.  The Bank recognized net charge-offs of $103,000 and $24,000 for the quarters ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Noninterest income increased $358,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2024.  The increase is primarily due to the Company recognizing a $148,000 increase in gains on sale of loans and a $53,000 increase in ATM and debit card fee income when comparing the two periods.  In addition, the Company also recognized a $22,000 gain on equity securities for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 compared to a loss of $104,000 for the same period in 2024.  

Noninterest expenses increased $276,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. This was primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits and advertising expenses of $502,000 and $58,000, respectively, when comparing the two periods. The increase in compensation and benefits is due to increases in salary and wages associated with annual cost of living and performance related adjustments as well as increases in the cost of Company-provided health insurance benefits. The increase in advertising expenses is primarily due to increased marketing expenses during the quarter.  These increases were partially offset by decreases in professional services and occupancy and equipment expenses of $192,000 and $88,000, respectively.  The decrease in professional services was primarily due to decreases in costs associated with fees for the Company’s core contract negotiations and decreased costs associated with the Company’s annual audit.  The decrease in occupancy and equipment expenses was primarily due to insurance proceeds received during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 for one of the Bank’s branches damaged by a storm earlier in 2025.

Income tax expense increased $254,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 resulting in an effective tax rate of 16.1% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to 17.3% for the same period in 2024.  The decrease in the Bank’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 is primarily due to adjustments associated with the final filings of the Company’s 2024 tax returns.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2025 and 2024

Total assets were $1.27 billion at December 31, 2025 compared to $1.19 billion at December 31, 2024.  Cash and cash equivalents, securities available for sale and net loans receivable increased $31.4 million, $27.9 million, and $22.9 million, respectively, from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025. Deposits increased $56.6 million from $1.07 billion at December 31, 2024 to $1.12 billion at December 31, 2025.  Nonperforming assets (consisting of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, and foreclosed real estate) remained similar when comparing the periods being $4.3 million and $4.4 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Bank currently has 17 offices in the Indiana communities of Corydon, Edwardsville, Greenville, Floyds Knobs, Palmyra, New Albany, New Salisbury, Jeffersonville, Salem, Lanesville and Charlestown and the Kentucky communities of Shepherdsville, Mt. Washington and Lebanon Junction.

This presentation contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  Management uses these “non-GAAP” measures in its analysis of the Company's performance.  Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures allow for better comparability with prior periods, as well as with peers in the industry who provide a similar presentation, and provide a further understanding of the Company's ongoing operations.  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 companies.  The following table summarizes the non-GAAP financial measures derived from amounts reported in the Company's consolidated financial statements and reconciles those non-GAAP financial measures with the comparable GAAP financial measures.
