Commercial Bancgroup, Inc. Announces Results for the Second Quarter 2026

 

HARROGATE, TN –July 27, 2026 – Commercial Bancgroup, Inc. (“Commercial” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CBK), the parent company of Commercial Bank (the “Bank”), today announced net income of $10.2 million, or $0.75 per common share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to net income of $8.9 million, or $0.73 per common share, for the second quarter of 2025. Core (net of any one-time adjustments) net income was $10.2 million, or $0.75 per common share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to core net income of $9.1 million, or $0.75 per common share, for the second quarter of 2025.

 

Prior to Commercial’s initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock in October 2025, Commercial had three classes of common stock outstanding: common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock. On September 18, 2025, Commercial’s charter was amended and restated. The Company’s amended and restated charter provided for, among other things:

 

effective upon the filing of the amended and restated charter, the reclassification and conversion of (i) each outstanding share of Class B common stock into 1.15 shares of common stock and (ii) each outstanding share of Class C common stock into 1.05 shares of common stock (collectively, the “Stock Reclassification”); and

 

effective immediately following the Stock Reclassification, a 250-for-1 forward stock split in respect of the outstanding shares of our common stock (the “Stock Split”).

 

Our financial statements, including earnings per share and book value per share, reflect the stock Reclassification and Stock Split retroactively. Because the IPO occurred after September 30, 2025, the financial impacts of the IPO are reflected for the fourth quarter of 2025 in the financial statements presented in this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This press release contains certain financial measure(s) that are not financial measure(s) recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and, therefore, are considered non-GAAP financial measure(s) and should be read along with the accompanying reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measure(s) to GAAP financial measure(s). We use non-GAAP financial measures, certain of which are included in this press release, both to explain our operating results to shareholders and the investment community and to evaluate, analyze, and manage our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a better understanding of ongoing operations, enhance the comparability of results across periods, and enable investors to better understand our performance. Our management believes that the “core” metrics described below and used in this press release assist users of the Company’s financial statements with their financial analysis period-over-period as they exclude certain non-recurring items. However, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation and should be considered supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, the manner in which the non-GAAP financial measure(s) contained in this press release are calculated may differ from the manner in which measures with similar names are calculated by other companies. You should understand how other companies calculate their financial measures similar to, or with names similar to, the non-GAAP financial measure(s) contained in this press release when comparing such financial measures.

 

The non-GAAP financial measures in this press release include the following:

 

Core deposits. We calculate core deposits by excluding jumbo time deposits (deposits greater than or equal to $250,000) from total deposits.

 

Core net income. We define core net income as net income plus non-recurring expenses, net of the related tax effect of non-recurring expenses.

 

Core net income per share. We define core net income per share as core net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding.

 

Core ROAA. We define core ROAA as core net income divided by average assets, with average assets based upon the average daily balance of total assets in each period.

 

Core return on average tangible common equity. We define core return on average tangible common equity as core net income divided by total average shareholders’ equity less average intangible assets (goodwill and core deposit intangibles).

 

Pre-tax pre-provision net income. We define pre-tax pre-provision net income as pre-tax net income plus provision for loan and lease losses.

 

Core efficiency ratio. We define core efficiency ratio as noninterest expenses (less non-recurring expenses), divided by operating revenue (net interest plus total noninterest income). This ratio is an indicator used by our management to assess operating efficiencies and is intended to demonstrate how efficiently our management is controlling expenses relative to generating revenues on our core activities.

 

Pre-tax, pre-provision ROAAWe define pre-tax, pre-provision ROAA as pre-tax, pre-provision net income divided by average assets calculated based upon the average daily balance of total assets in each year.

 

Tangible assets. We define tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets.

 

Return on average tangible common equity ROATCEWe define return on average tangible common equity ROATC as net income divided by average common equity calculated based as total average shareholders’ equity less average intangible assets net of tax benefit.

 

Tangible book value per shareWe define tangible book value per share as our tangible common equity, which is shareholders’ equity reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

 

Tangible common equity to tangible assetsWe define tangible common equity to tangible assets as tangible common equity divided by tangible assets calculated based as total assets net of intangible assets.
