WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J., Jan. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Parke Bancorp, Inc. ("Parke Bancorp" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: "PKBK"), the parent company of Parke Bank (the "Bank"), announced its operating results for the quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Highlights for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025:

Net income available to common shareholders was $11.1 million, or $0.94 per basic common share and $0.93 per diluted common share, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $3.7 million, or 49.9%, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $7.4 million, or $0.62 per basic common share and $0.61 per diluted common share, for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase is primarily driven by a $6.2 million increase in net interest income, partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in provision for credit losses, and a $0.7 million increase in non-interest expense.
Net interest income increased 39.7% to $21.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $15.6 million for the same period in 2024.
The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to a provision for credit losses of $0.2 million for the same period in 2024.
Non-interest income decreased $0.2 million, or 19.2%, to $0.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2024.

Net income available to common shareholders was $37.8 million, or $3.20 per basic common share and $3.16 per diluted common share, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $10.3 million, or 37.3%, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $27.5 million, or $2.30 per basic common share and $2.27 per diluted common share, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $17.8 million increase in net interest income, partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in the provision for credit losses, a $0.9 million decrease in non-interest income, and a $2.0 million increase in non-interest expense.
Net interest income increased 30.2% to $76.5 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $58.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Provision for credit losses increased $1.8 million to $2.5 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a provision for credit losses of $0.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Non-interest expense increased $2.0 million, or 7.7%, to $28.0 million, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $26.0 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

The following is a recap of the significant items that impacted the fourth quarter of 2025 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025:

Interest income increased $4.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to an increase in interest and fees on loans of $5.2 million to $36.0 million, due to higher average outstanding loan balances and higher interest rates. The increase in interest income during the fourth quarter of 2025 was partially offset by a decrease in interest earned on average deposits held at the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") of $1.1 million, to $1.1 million, from $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was due to lower cash balances held at the FRB and lower interest rates earned on those balances. For the year ended December 31, 2025, interest income increased $17.6 million, or 14.0%, from the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by an increase in interest and fees on loans of $17.4 million, due to higher average outstanding loan balances and higher interest rates, as well as an increase in interest earned on average deposits held at the FRB of $0.3 million.

Interest expense decreased $2.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to lower market interest rates, as well as a change in the deposit mix with a reduction in higher cost money market deposits and an increase in interest checking deposits. For the year ended December 31, 2025, interest expense decreased $0.2 million compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to lower market interest rates, as well as a change in the deposit and debt mix.

The provision for credit losses increased $0.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, as a result of an increase in outstanding loan balances, partially offset by a decrease in vintage and qualitative loss rates. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the provision for credit losses increased $1.8 million from the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 due to an increase in outstanding loan balances, partially offset by a decrease in vintage and qualitative loss rates.

Non-interest income decreased $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily as a result of a decrease in other income of $0.2 million. For the year ended December 31, 2025, non-interest income decreased $0.9 million compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by a decrease in other income of $0.6 million, a decrease in loan fees of $0.2 million, and a decrease in service fees on deposit accounts of $0.2 million. The decrease in other income during the year ended December 31, 2025, was primarily attributable to a decrease in one-time insurance payments and settlements received in 2024.

Non-interest expense increased $0.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by an increase in other operating expense of $0.3 million, OREO expense of $0.3 million, and compensation and benefits expense of $0.1 million. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, non-interest expense increased $2.0 million, primarily due to an increase in professional services of $0.7 million, an increase in compensation and benefits expense of $0.5 million, and an increase in other operating expense of $0.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in OREO expense of $0.2 million. The increase in professional services during the year ended December 31, 2025, was primarily due to a $0.6 million increase in legal fees. The increase in compensation and benefits expense was primarily due to an increase in salaries of $0.4 million, and a $0.1 million decrease in deferred loan origination costs attributable to a reduction in the number of loans originated.

Income tax expense increased $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, income tax expense increased $2.8 million compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2025 was 24.1% and 23.5%, respectively, compared to 23.9% and 24.2% for the same periods in 2024.

The investment securities portfolio decreased to $13.5 million at December 31, 2025, from $14.8 million at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 8.4%, primarily due to pay downs of securities.
Gross loans increased to $2.04 billion at December 31, 2025, from $1.87 billion at December 31, 2024, an increase of $167.1 million or 8.9%. The increase in loans was primarily due to an increase in the CRE non-owner occupied loan portfolio of $112.9 million, an increase in the construction portfolio loan balance of $64.4 million, and an increase in the CRE owner occupied loan portfolio balance of $22.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in the residential 1 - 4 family investment portfolio balance of $29.6 million.

The decrease was primarily driven by a $1.5 million decrease in the CRE non-owner occupied loan portfolio, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in the residential - 1 - 4 family portfolio, and a $0.1 million increase in the consumer portfolio. OREO at December 31, 2025 was $2.9 million, an increase of $1.3 million, from $1.6 million at December 31, 2024.

Total equity increased to $324.5 million at December 31, 2025, up from $300.1 million at December 31, 2024, an increase of $24.4 million, or 8.1%, primarily due to the retention of earnings, partially offset by the payment of $8.5 million of cash dividends, and the repurchase of Company common stock of $6.5 million.

CEO outlook and commentary

Vito S. Pantilione, President and Chief Executive Officer of Parke Bancorp, Inc. and Parke Bank, provided the following statement:

"2025 was a challenging year, an outcome that is not unusual when a new President takes office. Donald Trump was sworn in for his second term as President of the United States and immediately set an aggressive pace. Significant policy shifts were enacted early, including new tariffs, expanded gas drilling, strengthened border protection measures, and renewed efforts to address illegal immigration. Tensions also emerged between the Administration and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, with the Administration pushing for faster rate cuts while the Fed adopted a more cautious 'wait‑and‑see' approach."

"The geopolitical landscape shifted quickly as well. Major diplomatic efforts were launched to advance peace in the Middle East, and repeated, though ultimately unsuccessful, attempts were made to bring an end to the Russia–Ukraine war. These and other factors contributed to the heightened volatility that defined 2025."

"Despite this environment, 2025 was a good year for Parke Bank. Net income available to common shareholders rose 37.3% over 2024, reaching $37.8 million, or $3.16 per diluted common share. This performance was driven by increased net interest income and continued disciplined expense management, resulting in an improved Cost Efficiency Ratio of 35.03%. Return on Average Assets strengthened to 1.77%, while Return on Average Common Equity increased to 12.07% at December 31, 2025."

"Total loans grew 8.9% over 2024, ending the year at $2.04 billion. This growth was supported by a $2.1 million increase in the allowance for credit losses. Asset quality remains a primary focus: nonperforming loans decreased by $1 million year‑over‑year as of December 31, 2025, and the allowance for credit losses stood at 1.7% of total loans."

"Looking ahead, uncertainty surrounding interest rates is expected to continue into 2026, with unusually diverse viewpoints emerging among Federal Reserve Board members regarding the future direction of rates. Our balance sheet is structured to remain nimble and responsive to changes in the interest rate environment. Strong earnings, robust shareholder equity, and disciplined expense control, position the Company to monitor market conditions carefully and act quickly to capitalize on emerging opportunities, while continuing to operate a safe, sound, and resilient financial institution."
