Net interest income after provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2026 was $13.9 million, compared to $12.2 million in the second quarter of 2025. Total interest income was $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, representing an increase of $1.3 million in comparison to the $16.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. Interest income on loans increased in the quarterly comparison by $1.5 million, primarily due to organic loan growth. Management anticipates that this loan growth will continue to have a positive impact on both earning assets and loan yields. Interest expense on deposits decreased by $244 thousand in the quarterly comparison due to deposit repricing. Management anticipates that interest expense on deposits could increase in the near term as competitive pressures for deposits may result in increases in rates on deposit offerings, especially on time deposits. Interest on borrowings decreased by $163 thousand, primarily due to the quarter over quarter decrease in average borrowings of $16.0 million.
For the first half of 2026, net interest income after provision for credit losses was $27.2 million compared to $23.7 million for the first half of 2025. Interest income increased by $2.7 million, primarily due to an increase of $3.0 million in interest income on loans. Interest expense on deposits decreased by $258 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period last year. Interest on borrowings decreased by $507 thousand in the six-month comparison, primarily due to a decrease in average borrowings of $22.7 million in the year over year comparison.
Second quarter 2026 noninterest income was $2.2 million compared with $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase of $312 thousand in the quarter over quarter comparison was primarily due to an increase in service charges and fees of $195 thousand and an increase of $69 thousand in mortgage origination fees.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, noninterest income was $4.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively. Included in noninterest income for the first six months of 2025 was $60 thousand from life insurance contracts. Excluding this item, noninterest income increased by $573 thousand in the year over year comparison, primarily because of an increase in service charges and fees of $340 thousand and an increase of $146 thousand in mortgage origination fees.
Noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2026 was $9.8 million compared with $9.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $573 thousand, or 6.21%. Salary and benefits increased by $377 thousand in the quarterly comparison due to personnel additions and routine adjustments, as well as increased benefit costs.

Core deposit intangible amortization decreased by $42 thousand in the quarterly comparison.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, total noninterest expenses increased by $1.1 million compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to employee costs. Salary and benefit cost increased by $711 thousand. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $191 thousand, and data processing increased by $90 thousand from the first six months of 2025 to 2026. Core deposit intangible amortization decreased by $85 thousand.
Net income before taxes increased by $1.5 million in the quarterly comparison, causing a increase in income tax expense of $312 thousand. In the six-month comparison, net income before taxes increased by $2.9 million, resulting in an increase in income tax expense of $668 thousand.
