Oregon Bancorp, Inc. (OTCBB: ORBN) (the “Company”), parent company of Willamette Valley Bank, reported net income of $431,000, or $0.17 per share, for the first quarter of 2026. The Company generated a return on average assets of 0.4% and a return on average equity of 2.3%, compared to net income of $826,000, or $0.33 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company’s net interest margin improved to 4.0% for the first quarter, compared to 3.8% in the prior quarter.
Quarterly earnings were impacted by the wind‑down of the Mortgage Banking Department. Management expects this to be a short‑term headwind to earnings, with improvement anticipated in future quarters.
Total assets declined $6.4 million during the quarter, primarily due to a $10.0 million reduction in borrowings. Deposit balances increased $5.6 million, and loan balances increased $7.8 million during the quarter. Asset quality and capital levels remain strong, and the Board of Directors declared a $0.20 per share quarterly dividend, which was paid on April 16, 2026.
Ryan Dempster, President and CEO, commented, “During the quarter, we wound down the Mortgage Banking Department, which had a short‑term impact on earnings. We remain focused on commercial banking and serving the core needs of businesses and individuals throughout the Willamette Valley, while maintaining disciplined balance sheet management, expense control, and strong credit quality.”
