COLDWATER, Mich., July 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. (OTC Pink: SOMC) announced second quarter 2026 net income of $3,087,000, or $0.66 per share, a decrease of $151,000, or 4.7%, compared to net income of $3,238,000, or $0.70 per share, for the second quarter of 2025. For the first six months of 2026, Southern earned $6,393,000, or $1.37 per share, an increase of $109,000, or 1.7%, compared to net income of $6,284,000, or $1.36 per share, for the same six-month period one year ago.
The annualized return on average assets for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2025, was 0.75% and 0.81%, respectively. The annualized return on average equity was 10.24% for the first six months of 2026 compared to 11.31% for the first six months of 2025. The tax equivalent net interest margin for the six-month period ending June 30, 2026 was 3.35% compared to 3.20% for the same period of 2025.
John R. Waldron, President and Chief Executive Officer of Southern Michigan Bancorp, Inc., stated, "Southern delivered a solid first half of 2026, with year-to-date earnings exceeding the prior year period despite the impact of a $1.7 million write-down of other real estate owned during the second quarter. Expected loan payoffs during the quarter resulted in no required provision for credit losses, and our improving net interest margin reflects continued positive momentum in our core banking operations. We are encouraged by the Company's performance and remain focused on building on this progress in the second half of the year."
The allowance for credit losses totaled $15,248,000, or 1.20% of loans on June 30, 2026. Net loan charge-offs totaled $837,000 for the first six months of 2026, compared to $15,000 for the first six months of 2025. Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.92% as of June 30, 2026, and 0.98% as of December 31, 2025.
