BISMARCK, N.D., Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- BNCCORP, INC. (BNC or the Company) (OTCQX Markets: BNCC), which operates community banking and wealth management businesses in North Dakota and Arizona, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.
Management Commentary
"Our third quarter performance reflects disciplined execution and continued progress in improving profitability," said Daniel J. Collins, BNC's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We delivered meaningful improvements in both return on assets and on equity. Net income increased 27% compared to the third quarter of 2024, underscoring the strength of our core operating fundamentals and our focus on balance sheet management.
"In addition to full-year loan growth of 4.9% and successful renewal of maturing loans at higher loan yields, the increase in net income was supported by careful management of expenses. Strong funding of new loans continued in the quarter, offset by several loan repayments. Significant deposit growth supported lending and enhanced cash reserves bolstered interest income. New loan funding and careful attention to deposit costs increased net interest income by $1.2 million in the third quarter compared to the same period in 2024 and resulted in a 3.73% net interest margin for the current quarter.
"We remain confident in the quality of our portfolio and the strength of our balance sheet as we continue to navigate a complex economic and geopolitical environment. Looking ahead, we believe our strong capital position and relationship-driven approach will allow us to sustain performance and serve our customers effectively through changing market conditions."
2025 Versus 2024 Third Quarter Comparison
The Company reported net income of $2.6 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the quarter compared to $2.1 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024.
Third quarter interest income increased $1.7 million, or 14.8%, to $13.4 million from $11.6 million in the third quarter of 2024. Average yield on interest-earning assets in the quarter improved to 5.62% from 5.31% in the third quarter of 2024 driven by a $49.6 million period-over-period increase in the average balance of loans held for investment and higher origination yields in addition to $36.6 million higher average cash and cash equivalent balances. Those increases were partially offset by lower yields on cash and cash equivalents and a lower average balance of debt securities during the quarter.
Interest expense in the third quarter of 2025 was $4.5 million, an increase of $528 thousand from the 2024 period. The cost of core deposits in the third quarter of 2025 rose to 1.94% versus 1.84% in the third quarter of 2024. The consolidated average balance of deposits increased by $73.6 million compared to the third quarter of 2024. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.49% during the third quarter of 2025, compared to 2.45% in the same period of 2024.
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2025 was $8.9 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 15.5%, from the third quarter of 2024. Net interest margin was 3.73% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 3.50% reported in the prior year period.
Non-interest income during the third quarter of 2025 was $1.4 million, relatively unchanged from the third quarter of 2024. Bank charges and service fees were $15 thousand lower quarter-over-quarter due to lower fees on lines of credit and reduced fee income from deposits held in one-way sell positions. Those reductions were partially offset by higher servicing revenue and overdraft charges. Using an associated banking network, the Company generates fee income on deposits not otherwise deployed by placing those deposits with other financial institutions to meet their liquidity needs. The deposits can be reclaimed for liquidity use by the Company at any time. Fees derived from the movement of deposits off the balance sheet can fluctuate significantly based on our customers' excess funding needs. As of September 30, 2025, off-balance sheet deposits were $20.5 million compared to $18.5 million as of December 31, 2024. Other income during the third quarter of 2025 was lower than the prior period due to reduced revenues from SBIC investments and losses on sales of repossessed assets.
Non-interest expense during the third quarter of 2025 increased $373 thousand, or 5.9%, period-over-period, primarily due to a $104 thousand increase in professional services expense, a $191 thousand increase in salary and employee benefit expenses, and an increase in other expense of $114 thousand. The increase in professional services expense is due to higher legal and consulting fees. The Company reported a modest increase in salary and employee benefits on a period-over-period basis. Merit-based and inflationary increases in salaries and employee benefits were partially offset by lower headcount. The increase in other expense is primarily due to the write-off of a servicing asset of $76 thousand due to an early loan payoff, a $30 thousand lower reversal of mortgage reserves, and higher correspondent bank charges, along with other increases, which were partially offset by lower director fees.
In the third quarter of 2025, consolidated income tax expense was $809 thousand, compared to $636 thousand in the third quarter of 2024. The Company maintained an effective tax rate of 23.5% for both periods presented.
Tangible book value per common share on September 30, 2025 was $29.44, compared to $26.60 at December 31, 2024. The Company's tangible common equity capital ratio increased to 10.34% as of September 30, 2025, compared to 9.68% on December 31, 2024.
2025 Versus 2024 First Nine Months Comparison
The Company reported net income of $6.6 million, or $1.86 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2025 compared to $5.7 million, or $1.60 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2024.
Interest income increased $3.3 million, or 9.6%, to $37.9 million in the first nine months of 2025 from $34.6 million in the first nine months of 2024. Average yield on interest-earning assets in the first nine months improved to 5.51% from 5.28% in the first nine months of 2024 driven by a $37.1 million period-over-period increase in the average balance of loans held for investment and higher origination yields and higher balances of cash and cash equivalents. Those increases were partially offset by lower yields on cash and cash equivalents and a lower average balance and yields on debt securities during the period.
Interest expense in the first nine months of 2025 was $12.7 million, an increase of $1.3 million from the 2024 period. The cost of core deposits in the first nine months of 2025 rose to 1.89% versus 1.77% in the first nine months of 2024. The consolidated average balance of deposits increased by $50.5 million compared to the first nine months of 2024. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.44% during the first nine months of 2025, compared to 2.38% in the same period of 2024.
Net interest income for the first nine months of 2025 was $25.2 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 8.8%, from the first nine months of 2024. Net interest margin was 3.66% in the 2025 nine-month period compared to 3.53% reported in the prior year period.
Non-interest income in the first nine months of 2025 was $4.2 million compared to $4.4 million in the 2024 first nine months. Bank charges and service fees were $228 thousand lower period-over-period primarily due to lower letter of credit fees and interchange income, and a reduction in deposits held in one-way sell positions. During 2025, the Company recorded a one-time gain of $114 thousand on the sale of loans. Gains on sales of loans can vary period-over-period. Other income is lower than the prior period due to reduced revenues from SBIC investments and other miscellaneous items that were partially offset by higher gains on the sale of repossessed assets.
Non-interest expense during the first nine months of 2025 increased $493 thousand, or 2.5%, year-over-year, primarily due to a $239 thousand increase in professional services expense and higher salary and employee benefit expense. The Company reported a modest increase in salary and employee benefits of $335 thousand, or 2.9% year-over-year. Merit-based and inflationary increases in salaries and employee benefits were partially offset by lower headcount.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, consolidated income tax expense was $2.0 million, compared to $1.7 million in the first nine months of 2024. The Company maintained an effective tax rate of 23.5% for both periods presented.
Assets and Liabilities
Total assets were $1.0 billion at September 30, 2025 versus $966.7 million at December 31, 2024. Total loans held for investment were $732.8 million on September 30, 2025 compared to $698.7 million on December 31, 2024. Debt securities decreased $11.1 million from year-end 2024, primarily due to normal amortization, while cash and cash equivalent balances totaled $115.6 million on September 30, 2025 compared to $100.8 million on December 31, 2024.
Total deposits increased $41.0 million to $878.5 million as of September 30, 2025, from a balance of $837.5 million on December 31, 2024. The Company also maintains off-balance sheet transactional deposit accounts and off-balance sheet time deposit accounts. Off-balance sheet deposits can fluctuate significantly as customers' cash sources or uses change. The Company remains committed to cultivating new deposit relationships and prioritizing liquidity.

The Company remains highly focused on meeting the needs of its customers and ensuring deposit rates reflect changing market conditions. The Company estimates that deposit insurance and other deposit protection programs secure approximately 75% of its customers' deposit balances. This fact, combined with the Company's strong balance sheet and management's sustained focus on fostering a relationship-focused culture, has allowed the Company to maintain a significant deposit base.
Trust assets under administration increased 9.3%, or $39.7 million, to $467.7 million at September 30, 2025, from $428.0 million at December 31, 2024. The Company has experienced elevated distributions during the first nine months of 2025, but has benefitted by significant increases in the market value of financial assets.
Asset Quality
The allowance for credit losses was $9.3 million as of September 30, 2025 and $9.2 million as of December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans held for investment on September 30, 2025 decreased from 1.32% as of December 31, 2024 to 1.27% at the current quarter end. The decrease in the allowance to loans ratio was largely due to gross charge-offs of $497 thousand in the first nine months of 2025. The charge-offs were taken against reserves on longer-term non-performing loans.
Past due loans of 31-89 days increased to $1.4 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $1.2 million as of December 31, 2024. Nonperforming assets were $8.1 million on September 30, 2025, compared to $6.3 million on December 31, 2024. The ratio of nonperforming assets-to-total-assets was 0.80% at September 30, 2025 compared to 0.65% as of December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, $4.7 million, or 58%, of the $8.1 million in nonperforming loans were SBA loans supported by material government guarantees. When excluding the loan balances covered by government guarantees, the Company's non-performing assets-to-total-assets ratio was 0.44% on September 30, 2025.
The Company continues to monitor the evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical environment for possible impacts to the loan portfolio. As of September 30, 2025, classified loans increased to $6.9 million from $4.7 million as of December 31, 2024. During the third quarter of 2025, the Company experienced an increase in classified loans related to the trucking industry. While the Company's overall exposure to the trucking industry is estimated to be $11.9 million, the Company does not believe that our remaining trucking portfolio is currently exposed to further credit deterioration. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $7.5 million and $12.2 million, respectively, of potentially problematic loans, which are risk-rated as "special mention". As of September 30, 2025, $3.9 million of the special mention loan balances are secured by hotels, compared to $3.7 million as of June 30, 2025. While the Company has experienced elevated levels of special mention loans for this industry, the loans are not concentrated in a geographical location or specific property type. The remainder of the loans within the hotel industry are pass rated as of September 30, 2025.
BNC's loans held for investment are geographically concentrated in North Dakota and Arizona, comprising 54% and 24%, respectively, of the Company's total loans held for investment portfolio.
The North Dakota economy is influenced by the energy and agriculture industries. Changes in energy supply and demand, along with market sentiment have recently caused a decrease in oil prices that, if prolonged, could have a negative impact on the oil industry and ancillary services. Potential risks to North Dakota's energy and agriculture industries include the possibility of adverse national legislation, potential effects of trade policy, and changes in economic conditions. Depending on the severity of their impact, these factors could present potential challenges to credit quality in North Dakota.
The Arizona economy continues to diversify but remains influenced by the leisure and travel industries. Positive trends in both industries have been noted, but an extended slowdown in these industries could negatively impact credit quality in Arizona. While the Company's portfolio includes various sized loans spread over a large number of industry sectors, it has meaningful concentrations of loans to the hospitality and commercial real estate industries.
The following table approximately describes the Company's concentrations by industry:

The Common Equity Tier 1 ratio, which is generally a comparison of a bank's core equity capital to its total risk weighted assets, is a measure of the current risk profile of the Bank's asset base from a regulatory perspective. The Tier 1 leverage ratio, which is based on average assets, does not consider the mix of risk-weighted assets.
The Company regularly evaluates the sufficiency of its capital to ensure compliance with regulatory capital standards and to serve as a source of strength for the Bank. The Company manages capital by assessing the composition of capital and the amounts available for growth, risk, or other purposes.
The Company made an election at the adoption of BASEL III to exclude changes in accumulated other comprehensive income from the calculation of regulatory ratios.
