Richmond Mutual Bancorporation Reports Third Quarter 2026 Net Income Decline Amid Merger Costs and Credit Provisions
Richmond Mutual Bancorporation (RMBI) reported a net income of $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2026, representing a decrease from both the previous quarter ($2.2 million) and the same period in 2025 ($3.6 million). The decline was primarily driven by a significant increase in the provision for credit losses, which rose to $6.1 million due to $6.1 million in net charge-offs, including a $4.5 million partial charge-off on a nonaccruing commercial real estate loan. Despite the earnings drop, the company saw substantial growth in net interest income, which rose 89.2% to $22.8 million following its July 1 merger with Farmers Bancorp. Noninterest expenses were also elevated by $3.0 million in nonrecurring merger-related costs. The results reflect the first full quarter of combined operations for the newly expanded entity.
