DUNMORE, Pa., Jan. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fidelity D & D Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: FDBC) and its banking subsidiary, The Fidelity Deposit and Discount Bank ("the Company"), announced its unaudited, consolidated financial results for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2025.
Unaudited Financial Information
Net income recorded for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $28.2 million, or $4.86 diluted earnings per share, compared to $20.8 million, or $3.60 diluted earnings per share, for the year ended December 31, 2024. The $7.4 million, or 36% increase in net income resulted primarily from the $10.8 million increase in net interest income and $1.6 million increase in non-interest income partially offset by a $3.3 million increase in non-interest expenses for 2025 compared to 2024.
Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was $7.9 million, or $1.37 diluted earnings per share, compared to $5.8 million, or $1.01 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The $2.1 million increase in net income stemmed from the $2.9 million increase in net interest income and $0.3 million increase in non-interest income. This was partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in non-interest expense and a $0.5 million increase in the provision for income taxes.
“We are pleased to report record fourth quarter results, representing the strongest financial quarter in our history,” said Daniel J. Santaniello, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The Bank hit year end assets of $2.7 billion, delivering a 36% year over year increase in net income of $28.2 million and a 35% increase in diluted earnings per share. The full year results reflect the execution of our strategic initiatives, disciplined balance sheet management, and continued improvement in our net interest margin. I am grateful to our bankers for their dedication and focus on serving our clients and our communities well, positioning us for a strong 2026.”
Consolidated Year-To-Date Operating Results Overview
Net interest income was $72.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $61.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The $10.8 million increase in net interest income resulted from the increase of $12.8 million in interest income primarily due to a $181.6 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets and a 17 basis point increase in fully-taxable equivalent ("FTE") (non-GAAP measurement) yield. On the asset side, the loan portfolio interest income growth resulted from producing $10.6 million more in interest income from an increase of 21 basis points in FTE loan yields on $125.3 million higher average balances. Additionally, the Company experienced an increase of $3.1 million in interest earned from interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions from $74.6 million higher average balances. The increase in interest income was partially offset by a decrease of $0.8 million in interest earned on the investment portfolio due to decreases of 7 basis points in yield and $18.5 million in average balances. On the funding side, total interest expense increased by $2.0 million primarily due to an increase in interest expense paid on deposits of $3.6 million from the $187.0 million larger average balance of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a decrease within interest expense on borrowings of $1.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
The overall cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.49% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2.60% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The cost of funds decreased 5 basis points to 1.94% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 from 1.99% for the same period of 2024. The FTE yield on earning assets was 4.79% for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of 17 basis points from the 4.62% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company’s FTE net interest spread (non-GAAP measurement) was 2.30% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, an increase of 28 basis points from the 2.02% recorded for the same period of 2024. FTE net interest margin (non-GAAP measurement) increased by 23 basis points to 2.95% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 from 2.72% for the same 2024 period due to the increase of 17 basis points in FTE yields earned on interest-earning assets along with a decline of 11 basis points in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the provision for credit losses on loans was $1.1 million and the provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $0.2 million, compared to a $1.3 million provision for credit losses on loans and a $0.1 million provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments for the year ended December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the decrease in the provision for credit losses on loans compared to the prior year period was due to improved asset quality. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the increase in the provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments compared to the prior period was due to originated growth in the portfolio, specifically in commercial construction commitments.
Total non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $20.6 million, an increase of $1.6 million, or 8%, from $19.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to increases of $0.6 million in wealth management revenue, $0.3 million in interchange fees, $0.3 million from service charges on commercial loans, and $0.2 million in service charges on deposits. The Company also had $0.2 million more non-interest income resulting from a BOLI death benefit gain. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company also recognized gains of $0.5 million on sale of commercial loans and $0.3 million from the sale of a property. Partially offsetting these increases was $1.2 million in losses recognized on the sale of available-for-sale securities.
Non-interest expenses increased to $58.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $3.3 million, or 6%, from $55.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Salaries and benefits expense increased $2.0 million due to an increase in employees and incentive-based compensation throughout the year ended December 31, 2025. Additionally, furniture, fixtures, and equipment expenses increased $0.8 million over the same period primarily due to an increase in software costs. There were additional increases throughout the period in advertising and marketing expenses of $0.4 million and occupancy expenses of $0.2 million. These increases were partially offset by reductions in professional fees of $0.3 million.
The provision for income taxes increased $1.8 million during 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to a $9.2 million increase in income before taxes.
Consolidated Fourth Quarter Operating Results Overview
Net interest income was $19.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, an 18% increase over the $16.4 million earned for the fourth quarter of 2024. The $2.9 million increase in net interest income resulted from an increase of $3.0 million in interest income primarily due to a $167.2 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets and a 15 basis points increase in the FTE yield. The loan portfolio had the biggest impact, producing a $2.7 million increase in interest income from $130.3 million in higher quarterly average balances and an increase of 17 basis points in the FTE loan yield. Additionally, the Company experienced an increase of $0.7 million in interest earned from interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions from $76.1 million in higher average balances. The higher interest income was offset by a $0.4 million decrease in interest from investment securities due to a $39.7 million quarter-over-quarter decrease in average balances and a decrease of 12 basis points in the FTE investment yield. The higher interest income was partially offset by $0.1 million more in interest expense primarily due to an increase in interest expense paid on deposits of $0.2 million from $160.8 million larger average balance of interest-bearing deposits.
The FTE yield on interest-earning assets was 4.83% for the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of 15 basis points compared to 4.68% for the fourth quarter of 2024. The overall cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.42% for the fourth quarter of 2025, a decrease of 18 basis points from the 2.60% paid in the same period of 2024. The cost of funds decreased 12 basis points to 1.88% for the fourth quarter of 2025 from 2.00% for the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company’s FTE net interest spread was 2.41% for the fourth quarter of 2025, up 33 basis points from the 2.08% recorded for the fourth quarter of 2024. FTE net interest margin increased by 26 basis points to 3.04% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 from 2.78% for the same 2024 period due to a decline of 18 basis points in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities combined with an improvement of 15 basis points in yields earned on interest-earning assets.
For the three months ended December 31, 2025, the provision for credit losses on loans was $100 thousand and the provision for unfunded commitments was $170 thousand, compared to a $250 thousand provision for credit losses on loans and $85 thousand net benefit in the provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments for the three months ended December 31, 2024. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, the decrease in the provision for credit losses on loans was due to lower net charge-offs coupled with improved asset quality compared to the same period of 2024. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, the increase in the provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments compared to the prior period was due to originated growth in the portfolio, specifically in commercial construction commitments.
Total non-interest income increased $0.3 million, or 6%, to $5.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $4.8 million for the same period of 2024. The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to increases of $0.2 million in wealth management revenue and $0.2 million in commercial loan fee income. The increases were partially offset by $0.4 million in losses recognized on sale of securities.
Non-interest expenses increased $0.5 million, or 3%, for the fourth quarter of 2025 to $14.9 million from $14.4 million for the same quarter of 2024. The increase in non-interest expenses was primarily due to the $0.3 million increase in furniture, fixtures, and equipment expenses coupled with an increase of $0.1 million in salaries and benefits expense from higher salaries related to new hires and severance accrual and banker incentives.
The provision for income taxes increased $0.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to a $2.5 million increase in income before taxes. Offsetting this in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company completed a renewable energy tax credit purchase which reduced the provision for income taxes by $0.3 million.
Consolidated Balance Sheet & Asset Quality Overview
The Company's total assets had a balance of $2.7 billion as of December 31, 2025, an increase of $163.4 million from December 31, 2024. The increase resulted from $110.4 million in growth in the loans and leases portfolio during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents increased $64.7 million over the same period. Asset growth was offset by a decrease of $33.3 million in the investment portfolio primarily due to the sale of $45.7 million in available-for-sale securities and $23.0 million in paydowns partially offset by $25.1 million in purchases.
During the same time period, total liabilities increased $128.6 million, or 5%. Deposit growth of $126.5 million was utilized to fund loan growth and increase interest-bearing cash balances. For interest-bearing deposit accounts, the Company experienced increases of $92.8 million in money market deposits, $14.1 million in time deposits, and $2.1 million in interest-bearing checking accounts; slightly offset by a decrease of $1.1 million in savings and clubs. The deposit growth is driven by new primary households, an increase in existing account balances and a retention strategy with targeted marketing in support of building client relationships. Additionally, the Company experienced an increase of $18.6 million in non-interest-bearing checking accounts. As of December 31, 2025, the ratio of insured and collateralized deposits to total deposits was approximately 73%.
Shareholders’ equity increased $34.9 million, or 17%, to $238.9 million at December 31, 2025 from $204.0 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was caused by $18.7 million higher retained earnings from net income of $28.2 million plus a $14.9 million, after tax, improvement in accumulated other comprehensive loss from lower net unrealized losses recorded on available-for-sale securities, partially offset by $9.5 million in cash dividends paid to shareholders. An additional $1.3 million was recorded from the issuance of common stock under the Company’s stock plans and stock-based compensation expense. At December 31, 2025, there were no credit losses on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is excluded from regulatory capital ratios. The Company remains well capitalized with Tier 1 capital at 9.34% of total average assets as of December 31, 2025.

Interest income was adjusted to recognize the income from tax exempt interest-earning assets as if the interest was taxable, fully-taxable equivalent ("FTE"), in order to calculate certain ratios within this document. This treatment allows a uniform comparison among yields on interest-earning assets. Interest income was FTE adjusted, using the corporate federal tax rate of 21% for 2025 and 2024.
