JASPER, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Robert B. Nolen, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Pinnacle Bancshares, Inc. (OTCID: PCLB), today announced Pinnacle’s third quarter results of operations.
- For the three months ended September 30, 2026, Pinnacle’s basic/diluted earnings per share was $1.40 as compared to $1.19 for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $1,260,000 as compared to $1,069,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
- For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, Pinnacle’s basic/diluted earnings per share was $3.75 as compared to $3.41 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $3,367,000 as compared to $3,071,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
- Included in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was a loss of $268,000 in the sale of available for sale securities. The proceeds from the sale of these available for sale securities were used to purchase higher yielding securities with a shorter duration.
- Income tax expenses was reduced by $62,000 and $145,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 from the amortization of solar income tax credits purchased at a discount. There was no amortization for the corresponding periods in 2025.
- For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, return on average assets was 1.33%, and 1.19%, respectively, compared to 1.18% and 1.15%, respectively, in the comparable 2025 period.
Pinnacle’s net interest margin was 3.26% and 3.23% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to 3.20% and 3.17% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.
At September 30, 2026, Pinnacle’s allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 1.46%, compared to 1.52% at December 31, 2025. There were $2,000 and $22,000 in nonperforming assets at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Pinnacle Bank was classified as “well capitalized” at September 30, 2026. All capital ratios are higher than the requirements for a well-capitalized institution. As of September 30, 2026, the Bank’s common equity Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios were each 20.18%. As of September 30, 2026, its total capital ratio was 21.05%, and its Tier 1 leverage ratio was 11.58%.
Dividends of $.27 and $.81 per share were paid to shareholders during the three and nine months ended for both September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025.
Management believes that the Company has adequate liquidity through its low loan to deposit ratio at September 30, 2026, as well as available funding from outside sources. Our net funding availability, as a percentage of our franchise funding, is 95.14% as compared to our established minimal limit of 25%. In addition, the Bank provides access to additional FDIC insurance coverage for accounts that would otherwise exceed deposit insurance coverage.
The Company’s total deposits, excluding brokered deposits, at September 30, 2026 increased $13.2 million, or 4.3%, as compared to December 31, 2025.
Effects of Inflation
Inflation caused a substantial rise in interest rates during 2023 and 2022 which has had a negative effect in the securities market. As a result of the rising interest rates, the Company has recorded an accumulated other comprehensive loss on securities available for sale of approximately $30.2 million as of September 30, 2026 as compared to recording other comprehensive loss in the amount of $22.8 million as of December 31, 2025. Although these unrealized losses recorded as of September 30, 2026 were significant, management does not anticipate these losses to be other than temporary as these unrealized losses do not currently appear related to any credit deterioration within the portfolio but from higher interest rates.
Litigation
The Company is the plaintiff in an action pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, Jasper Division, asking the court to issue a permanent injunction preventing Pinnacle Bank, headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, from using the “Pinnacle Bank” corporate title in the Company’s market area. The Company believes that the defendants have created, and will continue to create, confusion among depositors, borrowers and other customers of both banks, and is therefore seeking a prompt resolution of the matter. The Company cannot predict the timing or the final outcome of the litigation
