CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2025 Results

BROOKFIELD, Wis., Oct. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company” or “CIB Marine”) (OTCQX: CIBH), the holding company of CIBM Bank (the “Bank”), announced its unaudited results of operations and financial condition for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Improved net interest income and stronger mortgage operations both contributed to better operating results during the third quarter, compared to the prior quarter and the same period last year, as outlined below.  

Net income for the quarter was $0.9 million, or $0.68 basic and $0.65 diluted earnings per share, compared to $1.1 million, or $0.79 basic and $0.59 diluted earnings per share, for the same period of 2024. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $1.9 million, or $1.41 basic and $1.37 diluted earnings per share, compared to $1.7 million, or $1.27 basic and $0.94 diluted earnings per share, for the same period of 2024, excluding the effects of the sale-leaseback transaction gain on sale in 2024.

Financial highlights for the quarter and nine-month period include:

  • Net interest margin rose to 2.78%, up from 2.69% in the second quarter of 2025 and 2.55% in the third quarter of 2024. The cost of funds for the quarter declined 62 basis points compared to the same period in 2024, due to the repricing of interest-bearing liabilities in a lower-cost interest rate environment, while yields on earning assets declined by 26 basis points. The net interest margin improved to 2.69% for the nine-month period, up from 2.41% for the same period of 2024 as a 51 basis point decline in the cost of funds outpaced a 15 basis point decrease in yields on earning assets. Net interest income increased $0.1 million for the quarter compared to the second quarter of 2025, rose nominally compared to the same quarter in 2024, and was up $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30th compared to the same period of 2024. Although net interest margins increased, net interest income saw only modest growth in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to a $56 million decline in average loan balances and an $8 million decrease in average non-interest bearing checking account balances. The decline in loan balances was partly due to prior-year efforts to reduce loan balances in support of preferred stock redemption, as well as a higher-than-expected volume of early payoffs in 2025 for reasons unrelated to service.
  • Quarter-end loan balances declined by $10 million from June 30, 2025, and by $52 million from December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses to loans ratio rose from 1.26% at December 31, 2024, and 1.32% at June 30, 2025, to 1.33% at September 30, 2025, primarily due to prior deterioration in the Federal Reserve’s economic forecasts used in the Company’s credit loss analysis.   While the forecast has recently begun to improve, our portfolio mix has shifted toward commercial loans, which carry higher reserve rates than residential loans. Additionally, we increased the allowance for certain non-accrual loans, which are evaluated at an individual loan level.
  • As of September 30, 2025, non-performing assets represented 0.75% of total assets, and non-accrual loans accounted for 0.95% of total loans--up from 0.68% and 0.85%, respectively, on June 30, 2025, and 0.68% and 0.81% on December 31, 2024. Business plans continue to target higher loan balances by year-end 2025, primarily driven by anticipated growth in the commercial segments.   As of quarter-end, non-performing loans, other real estate loans, modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty and loans 90 days or more past due but still accruing totaled 1.87% of total assets compared to 1.85% at June 30, 2025, 0.97% at March 31, 2025, and 0.98% at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to two commercial loans—one a restructured loan in the transportation industry, and the other 90 days or more past due but still accruing and in the process of collection.
  • The Banking Division reported net income of $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a $0.2 million improvement over the same period in 2024 excluding the sale-leaseback transaction gain on sale, driven primarily by higher net interest margins and continued cost controls, but limited by a decline in the loan portfolio. The Mortgage Division’s $0.1 million net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, is an improvement of $0.1 million over the prior year. This modest gain reflects the reduction in lending staff noted in the first-quarter earnings release. The net remaining Other Division, comprised primarily of parent company operations, had a net loss of $0.7 million with roughly one-third of that amount attributed to subordinated debt interest expense.

Mr. J. Brian Chaffin, CIB Marine’s President and CEO, commented, “Improved net interest margins and disciplined expense management contributed to stronger results from the Banking Division. While loan balances declined, our commercial team continues to build momentum, with growth targeted by year-end. The Mortgage Division posted modest gains in operating results, supported by increased refinance activity. Despite reduced staffing, expense controls continue to support improved operating results and our team remains well-positioned to perform in a competitive market.”

He concluded, “In early October 2025, CIBM Bank received regulatory approval and distributed $3 million in capital to its parent company, CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. The parent company also maintains a $2 million line of credit, though no draws have been made to date. These available resources support the 2025 common stock repurchase program, which authorizes up to $1 million in buybacks. During the third quarter, 4,800 shares were repurchased through open-market transactions for a total of $170,820 at an average price of $35.59 per share. Year to date, 20,312 shares have been repurchased for $667,558 at an average price of $32.87 per share. Provided current trends continue, we expect to complete the repurchase program by year-end.”

CIB Marine Bancshares, Inc. is the holding company for CIBM Bank, which operates nine banking offices in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana, and has mortgage loan officers and/or offices in six states.
