Minerva, Ohio—October 17, 2025 (OTCQX: CBKM) Consumers Bancorp, Inc. (Consumers) today reported net income of $2.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, an increase of $341 thousand, or 14.9%, from the previous quarter ended June 30, 2025, and an increase of $398 thousand, or 17.8%, from the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 was $0.84, compared with $0.73 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and $0.72 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

“The strong first quarter of fiscal year 2026 results reported here reflect deposit balance and organic loan growth. While total new loan commitments booked in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 were slightly below the previous quarter, they were $44.5 million, or 102.3%, higher than the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Comparing the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 to the same prior year period, commercial loan production increased 141.9%, mortgage production increased 82.3%, installment lending increased 49.4%, and equity line commitments increased 178.6%. Combined with higher average credit line balances, these increases resulted in a 10.5% annualized growth rate of loan balances in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. Based on the current pipelines, we expect consistent loan growth through the remainder of the 2026 fiscal year. The loan growth experienced during the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 was supported by a $32.8 million increase in deposit balances obtained through the branch network. Net charge-offs of 0.04% and total delinquency of 0.22% reflect strong loan quality, our borrowers’ ability to navigate inflationary pressures, and a history of prudent underwriting practices. The September 2025 cut to the federal funds target rate allowed for a reduction in prime-based loan rates and in variable rate deposit products. Given a constant balance sheet, we expect the net effect of declining rates to have a positive impact on the bank’s net interest margin through the end of the 2026 fiscal year. I am also pleased to report that the previously announced downtown Canton branch opened in September 2025. We expect this location in Canton Millenium Centre to further enhance the bank’s visibility within the business community and to increase the bank’s Stark County market share. Further, we continue to work towards the previously announced first full-service location in Mahoning County. The Boardman office is expected to open in the summer of 2026. We expect these growth opportunities, along with our continued investment in business development and operations staff, to support future asset growth,” said Ralph J. Lober II, President and Chief Executive Officer.

The reduction in the cost of funds from the prior year period was primarily the result of lower time deposit costs because of recent declines in shorter-term market interest rates.

Other income increased by $76 thousand, or 5.5%, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same prior year period primarily due to an increase of $53 thousand, or 8.6%, in debit card interchange income and an increase of $16 thousand, or 17.4%, in bank owned life insurance earnings because of the purchase of new life insurance policies during the 2026 fiscal year.

Other expenses increased by $930 thousand, or 13.9%, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same prior year period. The increases were primarily in salaries and benefits, occupancy and software expenses, and marketing expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, compared with the same prior year period, as the Company continues to grow its branch network.
