Joseph Turner, president and CEO of Great Southern, commented: "Our second quarter performance reflects continued strong results within our core banking franchise. Throughout the quarter, we remained focused on the fundamentals that have consistently guided our long-term success, including sound credit underwriting, thoughtful balance sheet management, and prudent expense control. We reported preliminary net income of $15.8 million, or $1.43 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $19.8 million, or $1.72 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2025. As outlined above, our second quarter results were inclusive of one-time expenses associated with branch consolidation and workforce reduction initiatives. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, preliminary net income totaled $33.3 million, or $2.99 per diluted common share, compared to $36.9 million, or $3.18 per diluted common share, in the first half of 2025."

Great Southern Reports Q1 Net Interest Income of $48.3 Million

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, annualized return on average common equity was 10.85%, annualized return on average assets was 1.24%, and annualized net interest margin was 3.71%, compared to 11.30%, 1.15% and 3.57%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Joseph W. Turner, President and CEO of Great Southern, commented, "Our first-quarter 2026 results reflect a solid start to the year, driven by disciplined execution across the business. Throughout the quarter, we remained committed to the fundamentals that have supported our performance over time, including careful balance sheet management, sound credit and expense discipline, and thoughtful capital allocation. Underlying performance remained strong in the quarter. We did have a few income and expense items, which we separately noted above, that impacted the Company's results in a positive manner. Net interest income was $48.3 million, reflecting a continued focus on both asset pricing and funding costs, alongside the successful management of our earning asset base. This diligence partially mitigated the absence of income from a previously terminated interest rate swap, which contributed $2.0 million of net interest income in the first quarter of 2025. Though we continue to focus on net interest income growth, credit and pricing discipline may serve as governors given our prioritization of long-term stockholder returns over near-term earnings. We believe Great Southern entered 2026 in a position of strength, and our priorities remain consistent: maintain strong credit quality, manage funding and expenses carefully, and continue building long-term value for our stockholders through disciplined execution and sound risk management."
