Old Second Bancorp, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2025 Net Income of $28.8 Million,
or $0.54 per Diluted Share
AURORA, IL, January 21, 2026 – Old Second Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company,” “Old Second,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) (NASDAQ: OSBC), the parent company of Old Second National Bank (the “Bank”), today announced financial results for the fourth quarter of 2025. Our net income was $28.8 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to net income of $9.9 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025, and net income of $19.1 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain nonrecurring items, as applicable, was $30.8 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $28.4 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025, and $20.0 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2024. The pre-tax adjusting items impacting the fourth quarter of 2025 included the exclusion of $428,000 of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) mark to market losses, and $2.3 million of transaction-related expenses, net of gains on branch sales, primarily from our acquisition of Bancorp Financial, Inc (“Bancorp Financial”). The adjusting items impacting the third quarter of 2025 included the exclusion of $13.2 million of day two provision for credit losses recorded with our acquisition of Bancorp Financial, $389,000 of MSRs mark to market losses, $430,000 of death benefits realized on BOLI, and $11.5 million of transaction-related expenses, net of gains on branch sales, primarily from our acquisition of Bancorp Financial. The adjusting items impacting the fourth quarter of 2024 included the exclusion of $385,000 of MSRs mark to market gains and $1.5 million of transaction-related expenses, net of losses on branch sales, primarily from our purchase of five branches from First Merchants Bank (“FRME”). See the discussion entitled “Non-GAAP Presentations” below and the tables beginning on page 18 that provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.
Net income increased $18.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2025 driven by lower acquisition related costs. The increase was primarily due to a $16.7 million decrease in provision for credit losses, as $3.0 million of provision expense was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $13.2 million of a day two provision from our acquisition of Bancorp Financial and $6.5 million of provision expense in the prior linked quarter. In addition, there was a $2.0 million decrease in interest expense driven by the decrease in interest paid on deposits, and a $10.2 million decrease in noninterest expense in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the prior linked quarter, mainly due to the timing of costs incurred related to our acquisition of Bancorp Financial. The increases to the fourth quarter of 2025’s net income, as compared to the prior quarter, were partially offset by a $1.8 million decrease in interest and dividend income, primarily due to declines in rates and volume on securities coupled with a decline on yields, partially offset by an increase in volume in the loan portfolio, a $955,000 decrease in noninterest income, and a $7.3 million increase in provision for income taxes. Net income increased $9.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to an increase of $27.0 million in interest and dividend income stemming from our acquisition of Bancorp Financial. The increase in net income compared to the prior year like quarter was partially offset by a $5.6 million increase in interest expense and an $8.6 million increase in noninterest expense, both of which were driven by the Bancorp Financial acquisition, as well as a $4.2 million increase in provision for income taxes due to higher pretax income.

Operating Results
| ● | Fourth quarter 2025 net income was $28.8 million, reflecting an $18.9 million increase from the third quarter of 2025, and an increase of $9.7 million from the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted net income, as defined above, was $30.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of $2.4 million from adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2025, and an increase of $10.8 million from adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2024. |
| ● | Net interest and dividend income was $83.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting an increase of $276,000, or 0.3%, from the third quarter of 2025, and an increase of $21.5 million, or 34.9%, from the fourth quarter of 2024. |
| ● | We recorded a net provision for credit losses of $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to a net provision for credit losses of $19.7 million in the third quarter of 2025 and net provision for credit losses of $3.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Provision for credit loss expense in the third quarter of 2025 included the $13.2 million impact of the Bancorp Financial day two purchase accounting. |
| ● | Noninterest income was $12.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, a decrease of $955,000, or 7.3%, compared to $13.1 million for the third quarter of 2025, and an increase of $544,000, or 4.7%, compared to $11.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. |
| ● | Noninterest expense was $52.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, a decrease of $10.2 million, or 16.2%, compared to $63.2 million for the third quarter of 2025, and an increase of $8.6 million, or 19.4%, compared to $44.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. |

The effective tax rate for each of the periods presented was 26.7%, 24.5%, and 24.7%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter 2025 exceeded both prior periods presented as we determined certain acquisition costs related to the Bancorp Financial transaction were not fully deductible. |
| ● | On January 20, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.07 per share of common stock, payable on February 9, 2026, to stockholders of record as of January 30, 2026. |

Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Eccher said “Old Second concluded a great year with an extremely strong fourth quarter. Core earnings have exhibited very strong growth in recent periods and profitability remains among the best in the industry with return on average assets of 1.75% and return on average tangible equity of 17.23%, both excluding acquisition related purchase accounting and deal costs. The tax equivalent net interest margin has remained resilient and impressive at 5.09% and the adjusted efficiency ratio was a very healthy 51.28%. This strong bottom-line performance and a well-positioned balance sheet drove an increase in the tangible common equity capital ratio to 11.02% from 10.04% last year end and tangible book value per share increased by 14% in 2025 despite the dilution associated with a meaningful acquisition.”
“In summary, we are proud of the strength and sustainability of our performance, and with marginal spreads in loan and deposit markets improving, we are excited about the opportunities for additional growth in 2026. We believe we have exceptional balance sheet flexibility and the strategic positioning to capitalize on growth opportunities that may come our way in the near future. I would like to thank our team for their hard work and execution in 2025, including integrations and systems conversions and upgrades that have made us a much better Old Second. I could not be more excited about the things we can accomplish within the next year.”

Asset Quality & Earning Assets
| ● | Nonperforming loans, comprised of nonaccrual loans plus loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, totaled $52.8 million at December 31, 2025, $48.0 million at September 30, 2025, and $30.3 million at December 31, 2024. Nonperforming loans, as a percent of total loans, was 1.0% at December 31, 2025, 0.9% at September 30, 2025, and 0.8% at December 31, 2024. The $4.8 million increase in the fourth quarter of 2025 for nonperforming loans is driven by a $13.8 million increase in nonaccrual loans due to inflows of $18.3 million, primarily related to two commercial real estate relationships totaling $14.9 million, partially offset by outflows of $4.5 million, which include $2.4 million of loans paid off and $2.1 million of partial principal reductions from payments and partial charge-offs on loans. The increase to nonaccrual loans was partially offset by a $9.0 million decrease to loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, primarily comprised of two legacy relationships, one that was paid off in the fourth quarter of 2025 and another that was downgraded to nonaccrual. |
| ● | Total loans were $5.25 billion at December 31, 2025, reflecting a decrease of $12.4 million compared to September 30, 2025 and an increase of $1.27 billion compared to December 31, 2024. The significant increase from December 31, 2024 is primarily driven by the $1.19 billion of loans acquired in our acquisition of Bancorp Financial. The decline in loans from September 30, 2025 is influenced by the seasonal reductions within the powersport portfolio. Based on historical data, the powersport portfolio shows much higher origination volume from March through September as compared to the remainder of the year. Excluding loans purchased from the Bancorp Financial acquisition, organic loan growth, net of paydowns, totaled $76.1 million, or 1.9%, compared to December 31, 2024 total loans. Average loans (including loans held-for-sale) for the fourth quarter of 2025 totaled $5.28 billion, reflecting an increase of $61.3 million from the third quarter of 2025, and an increase of $1.28 billion from the fourth quarter of 2024. |
| ● | Available-for-sale securities totaled $1.09 billion at December 31, 2025, compared to $1.16 billion at September 30, 2025 and $1.16 billion at December 31, 2024. The unrealized mark to market loss on securities totaled $43.1 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $47.7 million as of September 30, 2025, and $68.6 million as of December 31, 2024, due to market interest rate fluctuations as well as changes year over year in the composition of the securities portfolio. During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, we had security purchases of $7.8 million and security maturities, calls and paydowns of $78.9 million, compared to security purchases of $20.6 million, security sales of $7.5 million, excluding the sale of Bancorp Financial’s $117.6 million available-for-sale securities portfolio after the acquisition closed, and security maturities, calls and paydowns of $41.1 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2025. During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, we had security purchases of $84.9 million and $101.2 million of maturities, calls, and paydowns. We may continue to buy and sell strategically identified securities as opportunities arise. |

1 Tax equivalent (TE) basis is calculated using a marginal tax rate of 21% in 2025 and 2024. See the discussion entitled “Non-GAAP Presentations” below and the tables beginning on page 18 that provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.
2 Interest income from loans is shown on a TE basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure as discussed in the table on page 18, and includes loan fee income of $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, loan fee income of $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2025, and loan fee income of $140,000 for the fourth quarter of 2024. Nonaccrual loans are included in the above stated average balances.
The decreased yield of eight basis points on interest earning assets compared to the linked period was primarily driven by the two 25 basis point rate cuts during the fourth quarter of 2025 and one 25 basis point rate cut in September 2025, reducing the income of our securities and loan portfolios in the fourth quarter of 2025. Changes in the market interest rate environment impact earning assets at varying intervals depending on the repricing timeline of loans, as well as the securities maturity, paydown and purchase activities.
5
The year over year increase of 54 basis points on interest earning assets was primarily driven by increased yield on loans due to the Bancorp Financial acquisition as well as planned turnover in our securities portfolio with many older and lower yielding securities maturing and being replaced with higher yielding investments while maintaining the shorter duration portfolio composition. Average balances of loans and loans held for sale increased $1.28 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year like quarter, with a corresponding increase to the tax equivalent yield on the loan portfolio of 48 basis points year over year due to the Bancorp Financial acquisition. Average balances of securities available for sale decreased $50.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year like quarter, but showed an increase to the tax equivalent yield on the securities available for sale portfolio of 21 basis points year over year primarily due to variable security rate resets and higher yielding investments.
Average balances of interest bearing deposit accounts have decreased since the third quarter of 2025 through the fourth quarter of 2025, from $4.15 billion to $3.94 billion. The decrease in average deposits along with the Fed rate cuts during the last four months of 2025 drove the decrease in interest bearing deposit expenses of $3.4 million compared to the prior linked quarter, which decreased the cost of interest bearing deposits from 191 basis points for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, to 167 basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. We will continue to control the cost of funds by monitoring market activity as well as allowing remaining exception-priced deposits to run off naturally. An 18 basis point decrease in money market accounts, a 20 basis point decrease in savings accounts, and a 30 basis point decrease in time deposits for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 drove a significant portion of the decrease from the prior linked quarter. The cost of interest bearing deposits increased 26 basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 from 141 basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. A 17 basis point increase in the cost of money market accounts and a 50 basis point increase in savings accounts drove a significant portion of the overall increase from the prior year like quarter. An increase in the volume of deposits related to the Bancorp Financial acquisition, as compared to rates, drove the $3.1 million of growth in interest expense related to time deposits, compared to the prior year like period.
Borrowing costs increased in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to the $133.6 million increase in average other short-term borrowings stemming from an increase in average daily FHLB advances over the prior linked quarter. The decrease of $45.2 million year over year of average FHLB advances was based on daily liquidity needs due to the changes in the funding mix as a result of recent acquisitions and was the primary driver of the $883,000 decrease to interest expense on other short-term borrowings. Subordinated and junior subordinated debt interest expense were essentially flat over each of the periods presented. Notes payable of $14.8 million were assumed in the Bancorp Financial acquisition; these notes are FHLB long-term putable advances.
Our net interest margin, for both GAAP and TE presentations, showed growth over the prior linked quarter periods and over the prior year like quarter presented above. Our net interest margin (GAAP) increased four basis points to 5.07% for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 5.03% for the third quarter of 2025, and increased 41 basis points compared to 4.66% for the fourth quarter of 2024. Our net interest margin (TE) increased four basis points to 5.09% for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 5.05% for the third quarter of 2025, and increased 41 basis points compared to 4.68% for the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the prior linked quarter, was driven by market interest rates and the effect on interest income and expense compared to interest earning asset and interest bearing liability balances. The net interest margin increased in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the prior year like quarter, primarily due to the higher yielding consumer loans, including powersport, in the Bancorp Financial acquisition, higher security yields, and the decrease in average other short-term borrowings and the corresponding reduction in interest expense. See the discussion entitled “Non-GAAP Presentations” and the tables beginning on page 18 that provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.

Noninterest income decreased $955,000, or 7.3%, in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the third quarter of 2025, and increased $544,000, or 4.7%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease from the third quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by a $341,000 decrease in the cash surrender value of BOLI due to changes in market interest rates as well as the annual amortization of the cash value enhancement cost related to the BOLI portfolio restructuring a few years ago. In addition, no death benefit on BOLI was realized during the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $430,000 in the prior quarter.
The increase in noninterest income of $544,000 in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, is primarily due to a $238,000 increase in wealth management income from growth in advisory, personal trust, and estate fees, a $198,000 increase in service charges on deposits, a $151,000 increase in card related income, and a $550,000 increase in other income primarily driven by powersport servicing fees. Partially offsetting the increase in noninterest income during the quarter was a $668,000 decrease in residential mortgage banking revenue mainly due to a $813,000 decrease in MSRs mark to market valuations.

2 The adjusted efficiency ratio shown in the table above is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as noninterest expense, excluding amortization of core deposits, OREO expenses, and acquisition expenses, net of gain or loss on branch sales, divided by the sum of net interest income on a fully TE basis, total noninterest income less net gains or losses on securities, death benefit realized on BOLI, as applicable, mark to market gains or losses on MSRs, and includes a tax equivalent adjustment on the change in cash surrender value of BOLI. See the discussion entitled “Non-GAAP Presentations” below and the table on page 19 that provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.
Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2025 decreased $10.2 million, or 16.2%, compared to the third quarter of 2025, and increased $8.6 million, or 19.4%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the linked quarter, was primarily attributable to an $8.7 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits, of which $8.4 million was due to change in control, retention, and severance payouts that were incurred in the third quarter related to the Bancorp Financial acquisition. The decrease in the fourth quarter of 2025 was also attributable to a $2.0 million decrease in consulting & management fees, which was primarily due to the timing of costs incurred as a result of our acquisition of Bancorp Financial.
The year over year increase in noninterest expense is primarily attributable to a $5.4 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, primarily due to the Bancorp Financial acquisition and the additional employees that were retained, along with increases in annual base salary rates, officers’ incentives, and restricted stock expense in the fourth quarter of 2025. Also contributing to the increase was a $635,000 increase in occupancy, furniture and equipment, a $2.1 million increase in computer and data processing expenses, a $519,000 increase in core deposit intangible amortization, and a $2.0 million increase in other expense primarily due to costs associated with our acquisition of Bancorp Financial. Partially offsetting the increase in noninterest expense in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, was a $1.9 million decrease in other real estate owned expense, net, as a $1.7 million OREO valuation reserve expense was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024 based on valuation write downs on two OREO properties; no OREO valuation reserves were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Total loans decreased by $12.4 million at December 31, 2025, compared to September 30, 2025, and increased by $1.27 billion compared to December 31, 2024. The decrease from the prior quarter is primarily due to reductions of $44.9 million to commercial real estate – investor and $39.1 million to multifamily, offset by increases of $56.0 million to commercial and $26.2 million to commercial real estate – owner occupied. The increase to total loans compared to the prior year is primarily due to the $1.19 billion portfolio acquired from Bancorp Financial, which expanded our consumer lending and added the powersport segment. Excluding the acquisition, we achieved organic loan growth, net of paydowns, of $76.1 million, or 1.9%, in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year like quarter, primarily driven by commercial, leases, and commercial real estate.

Classified loans as of December 31, 2025 increased $15.8 million from September 30, 2025, and increased $58.1 million from December 31, 2024. The net increase from the third quarter of 2025 included inflows of $42.4 million, mostly driven by downgrades of nine commercial relationships for $12.1 million, two commercial real estate – investor relationships for $11.4 million, and one construction relationship for $9.7 million. The increase of classified loans in the fourth quarter of 2025 were offset by $26.5 million of outflows, which primarily consist of $24.4 million of paid off loans, and $2.0 million of principal payment reductions. Remediation work continues on these credits, with the goal of cash flow improvements with increased tenancy within commercial real estate.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Unfunded Commitments
At December 31, 2025, our allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans totaled $72.3 million, and our ACL on unfunded commitments, included in other liabilities, totaled $2.1 million. In relation to the acquisition, in the third quarter of 2025, we recorded a day one purchase accounting credit mark of $17.5 million and a day two non-PCD provision expense of $13.2 million based on our assessment of the acquired loans. The fourth quarter of 2025 standard provision expense consisted of a $3.2 million provision for credit losses on loans, and a $245,000 reversal of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments. The increase to the provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2025 is driven by current period charge-offs, primarily within the powersport and commercial real estate – owner occupied portfolios, as well as a downgrade to substandard on one large commercial real estate credit. The decrease in ACL on unfunded commitments was primarily due to an adjustment to historical benchmark assumptions, such as funding rates and the period used to forecast those rates, within the ACL calculation.
We recorded net charge-offs of $6.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily within the powersport portfolio. The third quarter of 2025 provision expense of $6.5 million consisted of a $6.5 million provision for credit losses on loans, and $38,000 provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments in addition to the Day 2 provision of $13.2 million. We recorded net charge-offs of $5.1 million in the third quarter of 2025. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we recorded a provision expense of $3.5 million, which consisted of a $4.1 million provision for credit losses on loans and a $600,000 reversal of provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments.

Gross charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $6.9 million, compared to $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2025 and $8.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. Gross recoveries were $875,000 for the fourth quarter of 2025, mostly comprised from powersport for $670,000, compared to $938,000 for the third quarter of 2025, driven by $705,000 powersport recoveries, and $4.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, which was mostly driven by $3.5 million of recoveries in commercial real estate – owner occupied. Continued recoveries are indicative of the ongoing aggressive efforts by management to effectively manage and resolve prior charge-offs, however, recoveries cannot be forecasted or expected at the same pace in the future.

Deposits
Total deposits were $5.60 billion at December 31, 2025, a decrease of $164.2 million, or 2.9%, compared to $5.76 billion at September 30, 2025. This decline was driven primarily due to decreases in savings accounts of $21.1 million, money market accounts of $29.3 million, and time deposits of $146.8 million due to the roll off of higher rate brokered deposits and other exception-priced time deposits acquired from the Bancorp Financial acquisition. These decreases were partially offset by increases in NOW accounts of $31.9 million. We continue to allow exception priced deposits, mainly time deposits, and brokered deposits run off over time.
Total quarterly average deposits for the year over year period increased $1.13 billion, or 24.5%, driven by an increase in average time deposits of $488.0 million, NOW and money markets combined of $345.6 million, savings accounts of $223.4 million, and demand deposits of $69.3 million. The overall increase in quarterly average deposits for the year over year period was primarily due to the acquisition of Bancorp Financial in July 2025. Our quarterly average time deposits as of December 31, 2025 include $68.6 million of brokered deposits, compared to none at December 31, 2024. These brokered deposits were assumed with the acquisition of Bancorp Financial and are running off over the next few years.
Borrowings
As of December 31, 2025, we had $215.0 million in other short-term borrowings, compared to $165.0 million in short-term borrowings as of September 30, 2025 and $20.0 million as of December 31, 2024, all of which were short-term FHLB advances. In addition, we had $14.8 million of long-term FHLB advances, net of purchase accounting adjustments, assumed with the Bancorp Financial acquisition, which are reported in notes payable and other borrowings on the balance sheet.
Management has disclosed in this earnings release certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and measure our performance, including the presentation of adjusted net income, net interest income and net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis, and our efficiency ratio calculations on a taxable equivalent basis. The net interest margin fully taxable equivalent is calculated by dividing net interest income on a tax equivalent basis by average earning assets for the period. Consistent with industry practice, management has disclosed the efficiency ratio including and excluding certain items, which is discussed in the noninterest expense presentation on page 8.
We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics on a fully taxable equivalent basis. We believe these measures provide investors with information regarding balance sheet profitability, and we believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing, and comparing past, present and future periods.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for GAAP financial measures, and we strongly encourage investors to review the GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release and not to place undue reliance upon any single financial measure. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. The tables beginning on page 18 provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.
