(OTCID: TMAK), the holding company for Touchmark National Bank, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025. Key highlights of Touchmark Bancshares' results for the quarter ending December 31, 2025 include:Net income decreased 28% to $439,000, driven by the acceleration of unamortized premiums;Deposits, excluding brokered, increased by $2.6 million along with a reduction in deposit expense;Added a Chief Lending Officer and new loan production topped $6 million; andDeclared $0.65 per share annual dividend."During the fourth quarter, net loan growth did not turn positive as expected because of unexpected loan payoffs totaling $4.5 million even though new loan production for the quarter topped $6 million, the highest quarterly growth rate in over two years," said Bobby Krimmel, President and CEO of Touchmark National Bank. "Deposit growth, excluding brokered deposits, turned positive for the quarter with new customer growth in core non-interest checking and money market accounts on top of a reduction in deposit expense of 23 basis points. Net income fell below our expectations for the quarter because loan purchase premium amortization expense accelerated by $310,000."

We continue to reshape the balance sheet with organic loan growth, new deposit relationships and a reduction in non-core funding dependence with our growth strategy focused on full relationship banking for entrepreneurs, small and medium sized businesses with revenue up to $50 million."Fourth Quarter 2025 Results of OperationsNet income increased to $439,000 for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to a net loss of $308,000 for the same period for 2024 but decreased 28% from the sequential quarter, driven by lower net interest income of $311,000;Net interest income decreased 21% to $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the same period for 2024 and declined by $311,000, or 12%, from the sequential quarter driven by higher loan purchase premium amortization expense of $310,000 driven by the unexpected payoff of purchased loans;Non-interest income decreased 16% to $152,000 for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the same period for 2024 but increased by $42,000, or 38%, from the sequential quarter driven by an increase in early loan prepayment revenue of $40,000; andNon-interest expense increased 34% to $1.9 million compared to the same period for 2024 and increased by $102,000 from the sequential quarter driven by higher salaries and employee benefits expense of $71,000.Balance Sheet and CapitalTotal loans declined by $55 million, or 14%, to $325 million during the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 and decreased by $4.7 million, or 1%, from the sequential quarter driven by normal amortization of the loan portfolio of $6.2 million and unexpected loan payoffs from the purchased loan portfolio of $4.5 million partially offset by new loan growth of $6.1 million;Total deposits decreased by $31 million, or 8%, to $339 million during the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 driven by a reduction in time deposits of $34.2 million, brokered deposits of $31.6 million, and internet time deposits of $7.9 million offset in part by growth in money market deposits of $42.6 million.
