TOUCHMARK BANCSHARES, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Organic Loan Growth Accelerates
ALPHARETTA, Ga., May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Touchmark Bancshares, Inc. (OTCID: TMAK), the holding company for Touchmark National Bank, today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2026.
Key highlights of Touchmark Bancshares' results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, include:
- The Formal Agreement by and between the OCC and Touchmark National Bank was terminated on February 17, 2026;
- Organic loan growth topped $11 million for the first time in four years;
- Nonperforming assets dropped 10%; and
- Established DTC eligibility and electronic trading for the company's stock.
"The termination of the Bank's Formal Agreement with the OCC during the first quarter will allow Touchmark to accelerate its full relationship banking growth strategy targeted at small and medium sized businesses. During the quarter, we experienced organic loan growth that topped $11 million, the highest level since the first quarter of 2022," said Bobby Krimmel, President and CEO of Touchmark National Bank. "We experienced a decline in net loan balances during the quarter because of $11.7 million in unexpected purchased loan payoffs and resulted in a reduction in loan interest income of $499,000. Although we have not purchased loans since the fourth quarter of 2023, the acceleration of loan purchase premium expense continues to impact earnings."
Krimmel continued, "We have completed the restructure of Touchmark's balance sheet by reducing retail CD's by $70 million and growing checking and money market balances by $67 million compared to the prior year. This balance sheet restructuring will provide more flexibility in managing interest rate changes on our variable rate loan portfolio tied to Prime and provide more stable funding for an anticipated acceleration in organic loan growth for 2026. We expect net income to continue coming under pressure until the fourth quarter of 2026 when net loan growth is expected to turn positive. In addition, we experienced improvement in nonperforming assets with a drop of 10% during the quarter as we aggressively manage problem assets and expect to further reduce problem assets during the latter half of 2026."
First Quarter 2026 Results of Operations
- Net income decreased to $94,000 for the first quarter of 2026 compared to a net income of $733,000 for the same period for 2025 and declined 79% from the sequential quarter, driven by lower net interest income of $320,000;
- Net interest income decreased 30% to $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period for 2025 and declined by $320,000, or 13%, from the sequential quarter driven by the repricing of variable loans tied to Prime and higher loan purchase premium amortization expense;
- Non-interest income decreased 29% to $115,000 for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period for 2025 and declined by $42,000, or 24%, from the sequential quarter; and
- Non-interest expense increased 3% to $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period for 2025 but decreased by $50,000, or 3%, from the sequential quarter driven by lower salaries and employee benefits and legal expense.
Balance Sheet and Capital
- Total loans declined by $42 million, or 12%, to $321 million during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 and decreased by $4.0 million, or 1%, from the sequential quarter driven by normal amortization of the loan portfolio of $4.7 million and unexpected loan payoffs from the purchased loan portfolio of $11.7 million partially offset by new loan growth of $11.0 million;
- Total deposits decreased by $21 million, or 6%, to $333 million during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 driven by a reduction in time deposits of $69.5 million, brokered deposits of $12.8 million, and internet time deposits of $6.7 million offset in part by growth in money market deposits of $64.0 million and checking deposits of $4.0 million. Total deposits declined by $8.7 million from the sequential quarter, driven by a reduction in time deposits of $40.4 million, checking deposits of $2.1 million, brokered deposits of $100,000, offset in part by growth in money market deposits of $33.9 million; and

- Net charge-offs to average loans decreased to 0.32% for the first quarter of 2026 compared to net charge-offs of 0.60% for the same period in 2025 driven by the resolution of problem assets, compared with net charge-offs of 0.01% for the sequential quarter; and
