Muncy Columbia Financial Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2025 Earnings
BLOOMSBURG, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Muncy Columbia Financial Corporation ('Corporation') (OTCQX: CCFN), parent company of Journey Bank ('Bank'), has released its unaudited consolidated financial results for the second quarter of 2025. Net income, as reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ('GAAP'), for the second quarter 2025 was $5,768,000, or $1.63 per share, compared to $4,707,000, or $1.32 per share, for the second quarter 2024. Net income, as reported under GAAP, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $10,113,000, or $2.86 per share compared to $8,743,000, or $2.45 per share for the same period in 2024. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.44% and 13.33%, respectively, for the second quarter 2025 as compared to 1.20% and 12.28%, respectively, for the second quarter 2024. Net interest income of $14,808,000 for the second quarter 2025 was up $2,448,000 from the second quarter 2024 reflecting an increase in total interest and dividend income of $1,467,000 and a decrease of $981,000 in total interest expense. The fully-tax equivalent net interest margin was 4.04% for the second quarter 2025 as compared to 3.43% for the second quarter 2024. For the second quarter 2025, a $254,000 provision for credit losses was recorded compared to $29,000 for the second quarter 2024. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses to total loans was 0.88%. Total non-interest income decreased $182,000 to $2,237,000 for the second quarter 2025, compared to the second quarter 2024 amount of $2,419,000. Realized losses on available-for-sale debt securities, net, totaled $426,000 for the second quarter 2025 compared to $0 for the second quarter 2024. This change was partially offset by increases in brokerage income and trust income of $60,000 and $76,000, respectively, due primarily to higher assets under management, and an increase in gains on marketable equity securities of $52,000 due to market value changes comparing the second quarter 2025 to the second quarter 2024. Total non-interest expense increased $662,000 from $9,194,000 for the second quarter 2024, to $9,856,000 for the second quarter 2025. Salaries and employee benefits expense of $4,984,000 for the second quarter 2025 increased $344,000 from $4,640,000 for the second quarter 2024. This increase was related to health insurance expenses associated with the Corporation's partially self-funded health insurance plan which were $397,000 higher in the second quarter 2025 than the second quarter 2024. Additionally, data processing and telecommunications expenses increased $174,000 comparing the second quarter 2025 to the second quarter 2024 due to ongoing pricing increases and one-time charges in conjunction with the implementation of new products. Total assets amounted to $1,616,215,000 at June 30, 2025, as compared to $1,595,958,000 at December 31, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents increased $23,332,000, available-for-sale debt securities decreased $30,484,000 and loans receivable, not held for sale, increased by $31,135,000. Total liabilities amounted to $1,439,940,000 at June 30, 2025, as compared to $1,429,548,000 at December 31, 2024. Total deposits increased $68,634,000 while short-term borrowings decreased $50,267,000 and long-term borrowings decreased $10,085,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in total deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was as a result of strong organic deposit growth in combination with the continued execution of a strategic initiative to reposition customer repurchase agreements, which are classified as short-term borrowings, into core deposit accounts. The Bank anticipates the completion of this project later in 2025 which will assist in optimizing the Bank's long-term liquidity needs and balance sheet management strategies. Total non-performing assets amounted to $13,844,000 or 0.86% of total assets at June 30, 2025, as compared to $10,117,000 or 0.63% of total assets at December 31, 2024. The increase in non-performing assets was attributable to an increase in non-accrual loans from $10,047,000 at December 31, 2024 to $13,774,000 at June 30, 2025. Total stockholders' equity equated to a book value per share of $49.87 at June 30, 2025 as compared with $47.11 at December 31, 2024. For the second quarter 2025 total cash dividends of $0.95 per share were paid to stockholders, which includes the impact of a special one-time cash dividend of $0.50 per share, as compared to $0.44 for the same period of 2024. The Corporation remains well capitalized, with an equity to assets ratio of 10.91% at June 30, 2025 as compared to 10.43% at December 31, 2024.
