MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., July 22, 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 June 30, 2026.

"Horizon’s results through the first six months of 2026 demonstrated the consistency of our profitability profile and the strength of Horizon’s high quality community banking model. Annualized returns on average assets have maintained around the 1.60% mark, and the net interest margin has been above 4.30%. Despite a notable shift in the interest rate outlook, we believe Horizon’s peer leading profitability metrics will have resiliency going forward," President and CEO, Thomas Prame stated. "We are encouraged by the positive momentum and predictability we see in our business model. Over the first half of 2026, loans and deposits have grown $83 million and $125 million, respectively, which aligns well with our mid-single digit organic growth outlook that is complimented by continued advancement in our fee income verticals and disciplined approach to expense management. We expect this low-volatility, profitability first growth model to drive significant value for our shareholders over time as the business compounds capital at peer-leading levels."

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $24.9 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, compared to net income of $26.2 million, or $0.51, for the first quarter of 2026 and net income of $20.6 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025. As previously announced, results for the second quarter of 2026 were negatively impacted by the pre-tax legal charge of $3.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $51.1 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, compared to net income of $44.6 million, or $1.01, for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights

  • Durability of top-tier performance metrics are reflective of the strong performance of Horizon’s community banking model. The Company generated a return on average assets of 1.54% and a return on average tangible common equity of 18.05%, despite the legal charge.
  • Net interest income of $63.5 million increased 14.7% compared with $55.4 million in the year ago period. The net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis1, at 4.37% showed strong quarter over quarter expansion from 4.29% as of the three months ended March 31, 2026, and was significantly higher than the 3.23% reported in the comparable year ago period.
  • Funding continues to trend favorably, with non-time deposit balances continuing to grow and total interest-bearing deposit costs remaining low, still down 33 basis points year over year.
  • Total loans held for investment ("HFI") increased 6.6% compared to the linked quarter annualized, with strong organic commercial loan growth of $63.5 million, or 7.4% annualized, led by commercial and industrial loans. Loan pipelines continue to be consistent, reflective of Horizon’s attractive markets and embedded community banking model.
  • Credit quality remained strong, with annualized net charge offs of 0.05% of average loans during the second quarter. Non-performing assets remain well within expected and historical ranges, with non-performing assets to total assets of 0.66%.
  • Expenses for the second quarter were well managed at $43.8 million, including the $3.1 million legal charge, as the Company remains committed to generating positive operating leverage through a more efficient expense base.

Income Statement Highlights

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $63.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $62.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, driven by the continued strength of the Company's net FTE interest margin1, which increased to 4.37% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 4.29% the first quarter of 2026. The margin's resilience is reflective of continued disciplined loan and deposit pricing, a favorable cash reinvestment profile and strong commercial loan growth during the quarter.

Provision for Credit Losses

During the second quarter of 2026, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.9 million. This compares to a recorded provision for credit losses of $0.4 million during the first quarter of 2026, and $2.5 million during the second quarter of 2025. The increase in the provision for credit losses during the second quarter of 2026 when compared with the first quarter of 2026 was primarily due to net loan growth and an increase in specific reserves on select commercial loans.

For the second quarter of 2026, net charge-offs were $0.6 million, or an annualized 0.05% of average loans outstanding, compared to net charge-offs of $0.6 million, or an annualized 0.05% of average loans outstanding for the first quarter of 2026, and net charge-offs of $0.3 million, or an annualized 0.02% of average loans outstanding, in the second quarter of 2025.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses as a percentage of period-end loans HFI was 1.05% at June 30, 2026, consistent with March 31, 2026, and down from 1.09% at June 30, 2025.

Total non-interest (loss) income$12,014 $11,243 $11,463 $(295,334) $10,920


Total non-interest income was $12.0 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to non-interest income of $11.2 million in the first quarter of 2026. The increase in non-interest income of $0.8 million is primarily attributable to an increase in gains on the sale of mortgage loans, due to increased volumes and wider margins on loan sales, and higher activity-based interchange fees. All other components of non-interest income remained relatively stable quarter over quarter.

Non-Interest Expense

Total non-interest expense$43,844  $40,747 $40,615 $52,952 $39,417


Total non-interest expense was $43.8 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $40.7 million in the first quarter of 2026. The increase was driven by the previously announced legal charge for $3.1 million in other expense. The accrual will remain in place until the Company has finalized the appeal process. Apart from this item, increases in salary expense and planned marketing spend were offset by lower benefits expense, seasonal declines in occupancy costs and lower professional fees. All other components of non-interest expense remained relatively stable quarter over quarter.

Income Taxes

Horizon recorded a net tax expense of $5.8 million for the second quarter of 2026, resulting in an effective tax rate of 19.0%, which is consistent with the Company's estimated annual effective tax rate.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total assets increased by $9.9 million, or 0.2%, to $6.6 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared to $6.6 billion as of March 31, 2026. Asset growth during the period was primarily driven by an increase in loans HFI and an increase in investment securities of $15.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest earning deposits of $45.1 million, a decrease in FHLB stock of $38.3 million and a decrease in loans held for sale of $4.7 million. Total loans were $5.0 billion at June 30, 2026, an increase of $75.9 million from March 31, 2026 balances, primarily driven by organic commercial loan growth.

Total deposits decreased by $22.1 million, or 0.4%, to $5.4 billion as of June 30, 2026 compared to March 31, 2026. The decrease was driven by a $59.5 million decrease in time deposits and a $39.1 million decrease in non-interest-bearing demand deposits. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $52.6 million in interest-bearing deposits and a $23.9 million increase in savings and money market balances, reflecting continued success in core deposit gathering efforts.

Overall, balance sheet growth during the quarter reflected a combination of steady asset growth, proactive liquidity management, and ongoing efforts to optimize the deposit base. Management continues to focus on maintaining a strong funding position while supporting measured, relationship-driven loan growth aligned with long-term strategic objectives.

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 June 30, 2026:

For the Quarter Ended June 30, March 31, December 31, September 30,
  2026* 2026  2025  2025 
Consolidated Capital Ratios        
Total capital (to risk-weighted assets) 15.01% 14.76% 14.36% 15.00%
Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) 12.17  11.90  11.51  11.27 
Common equity tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) 11.09  10.81  10.42  10.17 
Tier 1 capital (to average assets) 10.17  9.84  9.55  8.22 
*Preliminary estimate - may be subject to change  
   


As of June 30, 2026, the ratio of total stockholders’ equity to total assets is 11.05%. Book value per common share was $14.21, increasing $0.52 during the second quarter of 2026, as growth in retained earnings was partially offset by modestly higher levels of other comprehensive losses.

Tangible common equity1 totaled $565.1 million at June 30, 2026, and the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets1 was 8.81% at June 30, 2026, up from 8.39% at March 31, 2026. Tangible book value, which excludes intangible assets from total equity, per common share was $11.06, increasing $0.54 during the second quarter of 2026.
