Net interest margin was 4.08% in the fourth quarter of 2025, a 14-basis point increase compared to 3.94% in the preceding quarter and a 49-basis point increase compared to the fourth quarter a year ago. Book value per share increased to $24.10 at December 31, 2025, compared to $21.77 a year earlier and $23.45 three months earlier. The Bank’s Tier 1 capital to adjusted total average assets was 10.62% as of December 31, 2025. “We finished the year on a high note with excellent fourth quarter results that reflect the strength of our franchise,” said Laura F. Clark, President and CEO. “Net income and earnings per share grew compared to both the prior quarter and year-over-year, as we benefited from reduced funding costs, resilient asset yields and continued operational efficiency gains. The expansion in our net interest margin during the fourth quarter further strengthens our earnings profile as we look ahead. Our strong core deposit base and diversified loan portfolio position us well to capitalize on opportunities across our Montana markets, and we remain committed to executing our strategy and delivering long term shareholder value.”
