The net interest margin improved during the year, reaching 3.8% in the fourth quarter and 3.7% for the full year, up from 3.5% and 3.6%, respectively, in 2024. Residential mortgage production totaled $52 million for the fourth quarter and $223 million for the year.During the fourth quarter, total assets declined by $6.6 million, driven primarily by a $7.5 million decrease in deposits and a $6.6 million reduction in commercial loan balances. When compared to December 31, 2024, the balance sheet decreased by $17.8 million, largely reflecting a $19 million reduction in borrowings and a $14 million decline in commercial loan balances. Asset quality continues to remain strong and capital levels are solid.President and CEO Ryan Dempster noted that the Federal Reserve’s three interest rate reductions during the quarter have already stimulated commercial lending activity, which is expected to contribute to commercial loan growth in the new year. “Although deposit balances remained level during the year, we have a strong pipeline of new customers,” Dempster said. “We are encouraged that this momentum will support deposit growth in 2026.”About Oregon Bancorp, Inc.Oregon Bancorp, Inc. is the parent company of Willamette Valley Bank (Bank), a community bank headquartered in Salem, Oregon.
