Auburn National Bancorporation reported net earnings of $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2026, which concluded on September 30. The company achieved earnings of $0.72 per share during this period.
Why it matters
Growth in net interest income was driven by improvements in net interest margin and an increase in average interest-earning assets. The company also benefited from a lower effective tax rate due to higher tax-exempt income.
Net interest income reached $8.1 million with a 3.36% net interest margin. Additionally, the company recorded a negative provision for credit losses of $50 thousand and held $0.2 million in nonperforming assets.
