Mission Bancorp Reports Robust Financial Performance

Bakersfield, California, July 20, 2026 – Mission Bancorp, a distinguished bank holding company and the parent entity of Mission Bank, has unveiled significant financial achievements for the second quarter of 2026. The company’s assets have crossed the impressive mark of $2.0 billion, a noteworthy accomplishment reflecting the bank's strategic growth initiatives and robust operational efficiency.

In the second quarter, Mission Bancorp reported unaudited net income available to its common shareholders at $8.2 million, which translates to $2.73 per diluted share. This marks a significant jump compared to both the linked quarter, where income stood at $7.7 million, and the same quarter last year, with earnings of $3.1 million. This surge in profitability was largely driven by sustained loan and deposit growth, with annual increases of 12.9% and 7.6% respectively.

A Testament to Strong Management

President and CEO A.J. Antongiovanni expressed his enthusiasm over the company’s robust performance, stating, "We have seen another quarter of strong performance with results that have propelled us beyond the $2.0 billion asset mark. We have also generated 9.4% year-over-year growth in non-interest-bearing deposits, further proving the strength and efficacy of our relationship-driven business model and commitment to high-touch personal service."

As of June 30, 2026, the bank's gross loans experienced a remarkable increase of $174.6 million, reaching a total of $1.53 billion compared to the previous year. In tandem, total deposits climbed by $123.0 million, resulting in a total of $1.75 billion in deposits.

Financial Highlights

• - Net Interest Income: Increased substantially to $20.4 million, representing a net interest margin of 4.35% for the quarter, compared to 4.07% in the same period last year.
• - Credit Quality: Maintaining commendable standards, nonaccrual loans represented only 0.02% of total gross loans, showcasing strong credit quality and risk management.
• - Operating Efficiency: The operating efficiency ratio improved dramatically to 44.8%, down from 73.8% a year ago, underlining advancements in the bank's cost management efforts.
