Exhibit 99.1
FB Bancorp, Inc.
Announces First Quarter 2026
Financial Results
New Orleans, Louisiana, May 6, 2026 / FB Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: “FBLA”) (the “Company”), the holding company for Fidelity Bank (the “Bank”), today announced net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 of $119 thousand, comprised of net income from continuing operations of $494 thousand and a net loss from discontinued operations of $375 thousand. The net loss from discontinued operations was due to Fidelity Bank's previously announced sale of substantially all assets and liabilities of the Bank's mortgage banking segment, NOLA Lending Group. The sale closed on March 1, 2026. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had net income of $705 thousand, comprised of net income from continuing operations of $1.4 million and a net loss from discontinued operations of $665 thousand.
The Company is a Maryland corporation based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Company’s banking subsidiary, Fidelity Bank, operates 19 banking locations in New Orleans, Hammond, Lafayette, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Company is a Maryland corporation incorporated in February 2024 to become the registered bank holding company for Fidelity Bank upon the Bank’s conversion from the mutual-to-stock form of organization, which occurred on October 22, 2024. The Company sold 19,837,500 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of $10 per share, for gross proceeds of $198,375,000. Shares of the Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the trading symbol “FBLA” on October 23, 2024.
On January 14, 2026, FB Bancorp, Inc. announced the completion of its initial stock repurchase program, pursuant to which it repurchased 1,983,750 shares of its common stock, or 10% of its then outstanding shares, at an average price of $12.725 per share, inclusive of trading costs and commissions. On February 9, 2026, FB Bancorp, Inc. announced the authorization of an additional program to repurchase up to 1,785,375 shares of its outstanding common stock, which equals approximately 10% of shares then outstanding. Through May 4, 2026, the Company has repurchased 1,547,463 shares of this additional repurchase plan at an average price of $13.66 per share, inclusive of trading costs and commissions.
On December 31, 2025, the Bank entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Bank's mortgage banking segment, NOLA Lending Group. The decision was based on a number of strategic priorities, including the continued decline in mortgage volume. This sale allowed the Bank to exit a business segment that had a net loss of approximately $2.7 million in 2025 and reduced total employees by approximately 108 individuals. The sale closed on March 1, 2026. The Company's financial statements will reflect discontinued operations for the current period and retrospectively for prior periods under ASC 205-20.
The following is a summary of the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations of the mortgage banking division at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Results of Continuing Operations
•Net income was $494 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to net income of $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily the result of a $1.1 million, or 9.75% increase in total non-interest expenses.
•Net interest income was $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Over this same period, interest and dividends on investments increased $1.0 million, or 43.77%, offset by a decrease in interest on deposits in other banks by $515 thousand, and an increase in total interest expense of $443 thousand, or 10.76%. Net interest margin was 4.47% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 4.60% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. More information is available in the average balance sheet and yield tables below.
•Total non-interest income was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025. There was a $56 thousand, or 5.31%, increase and is primarily due to an increase of $91 thousand, or 13.91%, on deposit account service charges.
•Total non-interest expenses were $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This represents a $1.1 million, or 9.75%, increase in total non-interest expenses. Increases in non-interest expenses were primarily due to a $601 thousand, or 9.76%, increase in salaries and employee benefits due to added staff for the Lafayette branch opened by the Bank in August 2025, normal pay and benefit increases, a $226 thousand, or 13.84%, increase in occupancy and equipment related to the new Lafayette branch and new ATM servicing contracts, and a $77 thousand, or 45.83%, increase in advertising and marketing. Increases in advertising are due to timing of initiatives and not expected to remain that elevated throughout 2026.
Financial Condition
•Total assets were $1.27 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to $1.26 billion at December 31, 2025. The largest fluctuation between these periods came from an increase in securities available for sale of $20.6 million, or 6.31%. This increase was due to favorable investment yields in the current period, predominantly in previously issued government backed mortgage securities. The Company purchased approximately $34.8 million in securities with an expected average yield of 5.02% in the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company also sold $5.9 million in securities for a gain of $85 thousand.
•Loans held for investment were $759.7 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $744.0 million at December 31, 2025. This represents a $15.8 million, or 2.12%, increase. Most of this growth came late in the current quarter. The average balance of loans held for investment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $736.5 million.
•Total deposits were $852.5 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $841.4 million at December 31, 2025. This represents a $11.1 million, or 1.32%, increase. This increase was primarily related to non-interest bearing deposits that increased $12.3 million, or 9.19%, due in part, to the success of the Lafayette branch that opened in August 2025.
•Total equity was $297.7 million at March 31, 2026 compared to $314.5 million at December 31, 2025. This $16.7 million, or 5.32%, decrease was due to $14.3 million in common stock repurchases and a $3.0 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss, partially offset by net income.
Asset Quality
•Non-performing loans were $15.1 million at March 31, 2026 compared to $16.9 million at December 31, 2025. The majority of non-performing loans, $11.1 million, relate to first lien residential mortgage loans. These non-performing residential loans have a weighted average loan to value below 80%. Residential real estate loans remain under elevated credit pressures in our gulf coast lending markets due to rising insurance costs. Monthly insurance costs for many residents in the greater New Orleans area may exceed that of their monthly mortgage principal and interest payments.
•Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans was 2.00% at March 31, 2026 compared to 2.26% at December 31, 2025.
•Total non-performing assets, which included non-performing loans and other real estate owned, as a percentage of total capital was 5.52% at March 31, 2026 compared to 5.96% at December 31, 2025.
•Net charge-offs were $404 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $434 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
