Texas Community Bancshares Q2 Earnings Rise Y/Y on Strong Margins
Read MoreHide Full Article
Shares of Texas Community Bancshares, Inc. (TCBS - Free Report) have lost 0.4% since reporting results for the second quarter of 2026. This compares with the S&P 500 index’s 2.6% return over the same period. Over the past month, TCBS shares have gained 0.4%, trailing the S&P 500’s 2.6% advance.
Texas Community Bancshares reported second-quarter net income of $970,000, up 43.1% from $678,000 a year earlier. Earnings per share increased 52.2% to 35 cents from 23 cents in the prior-year quarter, while basic earnings rose to 37 cents from 24 cents. Net interest income increased 15.9% year over year to $3.68 million, and non-interest income rose 26.3% to $731,000. Total interest income advanced 6.4% year over year to $5.82 million, while interest expenses declined 6.8% to $2.14 million.
Texas Community Bancshares, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
The main earnings driver was stronger loan income. Interest income on loans increased 15.3% to $4.92 million as average loan balances grew 3.4% to $310.3 million and the average loan yield climbed 66 basis points to 6.35%. Management attributed those improvements to continued efforts to expand the commercial loan portfolio.
The average cost of interest-bearing deposits fell 12 basis points to 2.35%, and average interest-bearing liabilities declined 2.9%. These shifts helped lift the net interest margin to 3.69% from 3.09%, outweighing a 2.8% contraction in average interest-earning assets.
Securities income declined 23.8%, reflecting a 19.5% reduction in average securities following sales in the fourth quarter of 2025 and a lower portfolio yield. Thus, results were driven more by loan growth, loan pricing and cheaper deposits than by balance-sheet expansion alone.
Other Key Business Metrics
Total assets were $444.3 million as of June 30, 2026, up 3.4% from Dec. 31, 2025. Net loans and leases increased 3.6% to $314.1 million, supported by $40.5 million of originations, while deposits rose 3.6% to $339.6 million. Core deposits grew 3.4% to $200.7 million. Shareholders’ equity increased 2.6% to $55.2 million, and Broadstreet Bank’s 12.13% community bank leverage ratio remained above the 9% threshold for well-capitalized status.
Deposits included $18 million of brokered deposits and $6.5 million of listed deposits. Potentially uninsured deposits were $48.9 million, or 14.4% of total deposits. FHLB advances increased 1.7% to $46.5 million, while unused FHLB borrowing capacity stood at $103.8 million. The company also had $8 million of unused correspondent-bank credit lines.
Credit indicators were mixed. Non-accrual loans totaled $1.29 million, down from $2.01 million at the year-end, but loans more than 90 days past due and still accruing increased to $109,000 from $1,000. Management also identified $6 million of past-due commercial real estate loans across two relationships. One was subsequently renewed, while the property securing the second was under contract for sale, with full repayment expected.
During the quarter, TCBS repurchased 13,500 common shares for $257,000 and declared a cash dividend of 6 cents per share, totaling $173,000.
Costs & Credit Provision Temper Growth
The provision for credit losses was $104,000 against a $42,000 reversal a year earlier, reflecting increased loan production and balances. The allowance equaled 1.13% of loans at the quarter-end. Non-interest expenses rose 6.3% to $3.16 million, driven by higher salaries and benefits, data-processing fees, and occupancy and equipment costs.
Partly offsetting those pressures, non-interest income benefited from $172,000 of rental income on a foreclosed multi-family property. That asset, carried in other real estate owned, was more than 90% occupied and being marketed for sale. Other real estate owned totaled $9.1 million at quarter-end.
Management Commentary & Outlook
Management described liquidity and asset quality as high priorities, with deposit balances monitored daily and stress tests conducted quarterly. The company said that the scenarios indicated sufficient operational liquidity and expects adequate funds to meet current commitments. It also anticipates retaining a significant portion of maturing time deposits.
TCBS expects $37 million in cash flow from its securities portfolio over the 24 months following June 30, including $25.3 million within 12 months. The company is increasing commercial real estate, other commercial and municipal lending to diversify its loan mix.
