FRANKLIN, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- (OTCID: TDCB) - Third Century Bancorp (“Company”), the holding company for Mutual Savings Bank (“Bank”), announced it recorded unaudited net income of $550,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, or $0.47 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $492,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, or $0.42 per basic and diluted share. In addition, the Company recorded net income of $1,871,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, or $1.61 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $1,312,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, or $1.13 per basic and diluted share.
“We had a strong Q4 for 2025, following a solid prior nine-months,” stated David A. Coffey, President and CEO. Coffey continued, “We continued to see loan growth due to the efforts of our outstanding loan team. We also saw deposit growth due to our focus on core deposits in our market area. Our earnings were driven by our ability to capitalize on two important areas. First, non-interest income continues to be a strategic emphasis for the Bank. From general service charges to Trust Department fees, these were an important part of our fourth quarter performance. Second, our ability to be proactive in managing our cost of funding to positively impact our net interest margin was equally as important.” Coffey concluded, “As a result of a strong year, I am pleased to see key shareholder metrics improved.”
For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, net income increased $58,000, or 11.68%, to $550,000 as compared to $492,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net income for the three-month period ended December 31, 2025, was driven primarily as a result of a $364,000 increase in net interest income as compared to the same period in the prior year. Net interest income increased to $2.39 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, due to an increase in total interest income of $363,000, or 9.09%, to $4.35 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $3.99 million for the same period for the prior year. The increase in total interest income was due to an increase in average loan balances and average cash balances, as well as higher average yields on interest earning assets. Further contributing to net interest margin expansion, there was a decrease in total interest expense of $1,000, or 0.06%, to $1.97 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the same period for the prior year. The decrease in total interest expense was the result of reduced expense in retail deposits and lower average borrowing balances.
The provision for credit losses increased during the current quarter to $190,000 compared to a provision of $35,000 for the same quarter last year due to higher gross loan balances at quarter end and a slight increase in non-performing loans during the quarter.
Non-interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, increased by $237,000, or 65.90%, to $597,000, as compared to $368,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in non-interest income occurred due to a higher volume of residential loan sales, increased Trust revenue, and service charge income as compared to the same period in the prior year. Non-interest expense increased by $392,000, or 21.90%, to $2,186,000 as compared to $1,794,000 for the same period in the prior year, due primarily to increased personnel expenses.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, net income increased $559,000, or 42.59%, to $1,871,000 as compared to $1,312,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net income for the year ended December 31, 2025, was due to several factors including an increase in total interest income, increased non-interest income, and a decrease in total interest expense. Net interest income increased by $1,083,000, or 13.80%, to $8,930,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $7,847,000 for the prior year. Net interest income increased due to an increase in total interest income of $922,000, or 5.87%, to $16,610,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $15,689,000 for the prior year. The increase in total interest income was due to higher average loan balances and higher interest-earning cash balances. Complementing the increase in total interest income was a decrease in total interest expense of $161,000, or 2.05%, to $7,681,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $7,842,000 for the prior year. The decrease in total interest expense was largely due to lower average wholesale borrowing balances. The provision for credit losses during 2025 was $204,000 compared to a provision credit of $15,000 for 2024, as a result of loan growth and a specific reserve for one borrower relationship. The loans comprising that relationship were subsequently paid off in January. Non-interest income increased by $368,000, or 27.82%, to $1,692,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $1,324,000 for the prior year. The increase was due largely to increased Trust revenue and a higher volume of loan sales on the secondary market. Non-interest expense increased by $500,000, or 6.37%, to $8,349,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $7,850,000 for the prior year. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increased personnel expenses.
Total assets increased $36.81 million to $349.19 million at December 31, 2025, compared to $312.38 million at December 31, 2024. This increase was due primarily to higher levels of cash which increased by $24.66 million or 268.08% since December 31, 2024, and higher total loans. The increase in cash was due to growth in retail deposits. Gross loans held for investment rose by $13.05 million to $221.49 million at December 31, 2025, compared to $208.44 million at December 31, 2024. Total deposits were $280.09 million at December 31, 2025, up from $240.99 million at December 31, 2024. FHLB advances decreased by $6.0 million or 11.76% to $45.0 million at December 31, 2025, from $51.0 million at December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, the weighted average rate of all FHLB advances was 3.75% compared to 3.81% at December 31, 2024, and the weighted average maturity was 3.97 years at December 31, 2025, compared to 4.20 years at December 31, 2024.
Stockholders’ equity was $13.17 million at December 31, 2025, compared to $9.46 million at December 31, 2024. Stockholders’ equity increased due to retained net income for the year as well as a decrease in net unrealized loss of $2,082,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, as a result of the increase in the fair value of our available- for-sale-securities due to the improvement in the forward rate curve compared to our portfolio at prior year end. The available-for-sale securities are investments in government sponsored mortgage-backed securities as well as investments in municipal bonds, which provide cash flow for business purposes. Quarterly average equity as a percentage of average assets increased to 3.69% at December 31, 2025, compared to 3.27% at December 31, 2024.
