ChoiceOne Financial Services, Inc., a financial holding company based in Sparta, Michigan, operates in the banking sector through its subsidiary, ChoiceOne Bank, offering a range of financial services including insurance and investment products. The company recently reported its second quarter 2025 financial results, highlighting a successful merger with Fentura Financial, Inc., which has significantly impacted its financial standing.
In the second quarter of 2025, ChoiceOne reported a net income of $13.5 million, a substantial increase from $6.6 million in the same quarter of the previous year. This growth is attributed to the merger, which added $1.8 billion in assets and $1.4 billion each in loans and deposits. The merger also contributed to a rise in the company’s net interest margin to 3.66%, up from 2.95% in the prior year, driven by increased net interest income and accretion income from purchased loans.
Despite a net loss of $372,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, due to merger-related expenses and provisions for credit losses, the company showed strong performance when excluding these one-time costs. Core loans grew organically by 10% over the past year, and asset quality remained robust with low net loan charge-offs and nonperforming loans. The company’s strategic focus on reducing high-cost deposits and restructuring its securities portfolio has helped manage its liquidity and cost of funds effectively.
Looking ahead, ChoiceOne’s management remains optimistic about the future, emphasizing the strategic benefits of the merger, which has strengthened its market position. The company is committed to leveraging operational efficiencies and expanding its customer base to deliver long-term value to its stakeholders.
