Horizon Bancorp, Inc. Reports Strong Third Quarter 2026 Results, Highlighted by Continued Peer Leading Profitability Metrics and Positive Balance Sheet Momentum

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — (NASDAQ GS: HBNC) – Horizon Bancorp, Inc. (“Horizon” or the “Company”), the parent company of Horizon Bank (the “Bank”), announced its unaudited financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2026.

“Horizon’s high-quality community banking model continues to demonstrate consistency and durability in an ever-changing macroeconomic environment. Our results through the first nine months of 2026 reflect that strength, with annualized return on average assets remaining above 1.60%, return on tangible common equity of 20%, and the net interest margin sustained in the mid-4.30% range. Despite a meaningful shift in the interest rate outlook since the beginning of the year, our expectations for the business have changed very little, underscoring the resiliency and predictability embedded in our business model,” said President and CEO, Thomas Prame. “During the first nine months of 2026, loans held-for-investment and total deposits increased by $129 million and $206 million, respectively, consistent with our outlook for mid-single-digit organic growth. This performance was further enhanced by continued positive momentum across our fee income businesses and a disciplined approach to expense management. We believe this consistent, low-volatility financial performance will continue to compound capital at peer-leading levels, which remains the cornerstone of our long-term value proposition for shareholders”.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $28.7 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared to net income of $24.9 million, or $0.49, for the second quarter of 2026 and net loss of $222.0 million, or $(4.69) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $79.7 million, or $1.55 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $177.4 million, or $(3.94), for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Third
Quarter
2026
Highlights

  • Durability of top-tier performance metrics continues to reflect the strength of Horizon’s highly productive community banking model. During the third quarter, the Company generated an annualized return on average assets of 1.73% and a return on average tangible common equity of 20.03%.
  • Net interest income of $65.2 million increased 11.6% compared with $58.4 million in the year ago period. The net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis1, was 4.37%, consistent with the 4.37% reported for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and significantly higher than the 3.52% reported in the comparable year ago period.
  • Total deposits continue to trend favorably, growing by $81.2 million during the quarter, or 6.0% on an annualized basis. These results were further enhanced by the 9.7% annualized growth in non-time deposits. Total deposit costs, inclusive of non-interest bearing balances, remains low, at 1.57%.
  • Total loans held for investment (“HFI”) increased 3.7% compared to the linked quarter annualized, with balanced growth between commercial, mortgage and consumer portfolios. Loan pipelines continue to be consistent, reflective of Horizon’s attractive markets and relationship based community banking model.
  • Credit quality remained strong, with annualized net charge offs of 0.10% of average loans during the third quarter. Non-performing assets remain well within expected and historical ranges, with non-performing assets to total assets of 0.68%.

Income Statement Highlights

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $65.2 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $63.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, driven by the continued strength of the Company’s net FTE interest margin2, which remained consistent at 4.37% when compared to the second quarter of 2026. The resiliency in the margin is reflective of continued disciplined loan and deposit pricing and a favorable cashflow redeployment profile during the quarter.

Provision for Credit Losses

During the third quarter of 2026, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.3 million. This compares to a recorded provision for credit losses of $0.9 million during the second quarter of 2026, and a benefit for credit losses of $3.6 million during the third quarter of 2025. The increase in the provision for credit losses during the third quarter of 2026 when compared with the second quarter of 2026 was primarily due to changes in the economic forecast, net loan growth and an increase in specific reserves on commercial loans.

For the third quarter of 2026, net charge-offs were $1.2 million, or an annualized 0.10% of average loans outstanding, compared to net charge-offs of $0.6 million, or an annualized 0.05% of average loans outstanding for the second quarter of 2026, and net charge-offs of $0.8 million, or an annualized 0.07% of average loans outstanding, in the third quarter of 2025.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses as a percentage of period-end loans HFI was 1.04% at September 30, 2026, down from 1.05% June 30, 2026, and consistent with 1.04% at September 30, 2025.

Gain on sale of mortgage loans   2,125       1,576     1,090     1,296     1,208  
Mortgage servicing income net of impairment   246       350     337     352     351

Other income (loss)   597       1,204     967     1,042     (6,558 )
Total non-interest income (loss) $ 11,930     $ 12,014   $ 11,243   $ 11,463   $ (295,334 )
                                 

Total non-interest income was $11.9 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to non-interest income of $12.0 million in the second quarter of 2026. The third quarter performance reflects an increase in the gain on sale of mortgage loans due to increased volumes and wider margins on loan sales, offset by a decrease in other income and lower net mortgage servicing revenue owed to increased amortization of mortgage servicing rights. All other components of non-interest income remained relatively stable quarter over quarter.

Non-Interest Expense

(Dollars in Thousands) 2026     2026     2026   2025   2025

Total non-interest expense was $41.5 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $43.8 million in the second quarter of 2026. The decrease was driven by the previously announced second quarter legal charge for $3.1 million in other expense, which did not recur. Apart from this item, the decrease was driven by a reduction in FDIC insurance expense of $0.3 million and a decline in data processing expenses of $0.3 million. These variances were partially offset by a more normalized run rate in professional fees of $0.7 million. All other components of non-interest expense remained relatively stable quarter over quarter.

Income Taxes

Horizon recorded a net tax expense of $5.6 million for the third quarter of 2026, resulting in an effective tax rate of 16.4%, compared to 19.0% for the second quarter of 2026. Income tax expense was favorably impacted by a discrete benefit of $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2026.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total assets increased by $17.0 million, or 0.3%, to $6.6 billion as of September 30, 2026 when compared to the prior period. Asset growth during the period was primarily driven by an increase in gross loans HFI of $46.9 million, an increase other assets of $22.1 million and an increase in non-interest earning cash of $11.8 million. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in investment securities of $40.2 million and a decrease in interest earning deposits of $24.6 million.

Total deposits increased by $81.1 million, or 1.5%, to $5.5 billion as of September 30, 2026 compared with June 30, 2026. The increase was driven by a $84.0 million increase in interest bearing deposits, a $12.2 million increase in savings and money market deposits and a $8.8 million increase in non-interest-bearing demand deposits. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $23.9 million in time deposits. The overall increase in deposits reflects continued success in core deposit gathering efforts.

Overall, balance sheet growth during the quarter reflected a combination of steady loan and deposit growth, and proactive liquidity management. Management continues to focus on maintaining a strong funding position while supporting measured, relationship-driven loan growth aligned with creating long-term shareholder value.

Capital

The following table presents the Consolidated Regulatory Capital Ratios of the Company for the previous three quarters, and the Company’s preliminary estimate of its consolidated regulatory capital ratios for the quarter ended September 30, 2026:

For the Quarter Ended   September 30,   June 30,   March 31,   December 31,
    2026*   2026
  2026
  2025
Consolidated Capital Ratios                
Total capital (to risk-weighted assets)   15.48 %   15.02 %   14.76 %   14.36 %
Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)   12.62     12.17     11.90     11.51  
Common equity tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)   11.53     11.09     10.81     10.42  
Tier 1 capital (to average assets)   10.37     10.17     9.84     9.55  
*Preliminary estimate – may be subject to change    
     

As of September 30, 2026, the ratio of total stockholders’ equity to total assets is 10.61%. Book value per common share was $13.68, decreasing $0.53 during the third quarter of 2026, primarily due to an increase in unrealized losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Tangible common equity3 totaled $538.9 million at September 30, 2026, and the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets1 was 8.38% at September 30, 2026, down from 8.81% at June 30, 2026. Tangible book value1 which excludes intangible assets from total equity, per common share was $10.54 at September 30, 2026.

Credit Quality

As of September 30, 2026, total non-accrual loans increased by $1.4 million from June 30, 2026, and represent 0.67% of total loans held for investment. Total non-performing assets increased by $0.9 million, to $44.6 million, compared with $43.7 million at June 30, 2026. Non-performing assets are 0.68% of total assets at quarter end, up slightly from 0.66% at June 30, 2026.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, net charge-offs were $1.2 million, or 0.10% annualized of average loans.

(1) Securities balances represent daily average balances for the fair value of securities. The average rate is calculated based on the daily average balance for the amortized cost of securities.
(2) Includes fees on loans held for sale and held for investment. The inclusion of loan fees does not have a material effect on the average interest rate.
(3) Non-accruing loans for the purpose of the computation above are included in the daily average loan amounts outstanding. Loan totals are shown net of unearned income and deferred loan fees.
(4) Management believes fully taxable equivalent, or FTE, interest income is useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s performance as a comparison of the returns between a tax-free investment and a taxable alternative. The Company adjusts interest income and average rates for tax-exempt loans and securities to an FTE basis utilizing a 21% tax rate.
(5) Non-GAAP financial metric. See non-GAAP reconciliation included herein for the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
(6) Includes dividend income on Federal Home Loan Bank stock
