Deposits. Total deposits increased by $11.3 million, or 5.9%, to $201.0 million at September 30, 2026, from $189.8 million at June 30, 2026 primarily due to an increase in certificates of deposit balances of $10.7 million, or 14.3%. There was also a shift in funds from interest bearing demand, NOW and money market accounts to non-interest bearing demand deposits due to new, non-interest bearing accounts being established, offset by the disbursement of funds held in a money market account.

Previous report
In 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company” we may delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
Previous report
Deposits. Total deposits decreased by $1.0 million, or 0.6%, to $174.2 million at March 31, 2026, from $175.2 million at June 30, 2025 primarily due to a decrease in demand, NOW and money market deposits of $1.0 million, or 1.5%, and a decrease in certificates of deposit balances of $639,000, or 1.0%. These decreases were offset by an increase in savings deposits of $576,000, or 1.5%. These changes were attributable to the normal movement of deposits between accounts by the Bank’s customers.
Previous report
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $41,000, or 4.7%, to $912,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $871,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, due to an increase of $95,000 in interest paid on FHLB borrowings which was offset by a decrease of $55,000 in interest paid on deposits.

The increase in net income was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income of $1.8 million and an increase in non-interest income of $45,000. These increases were offset by a decrease in the recovery of credit losses of $187,000, from a recovery of credit losses of $189,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 to a recovery of credit losses of $2,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, and an increase in non-interest expenses of $354,000.

Interest Income**.**Interest income increased by $1.9 million, or 27.2%, to $8.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to an increase in loan interest income.
Previous report
Loan interest income increased by $1.9 million, or 30.8%, to $8.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $6.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, due to an increase in the average yield on loans and an increase in the average balance of loans. The average yield on the loan portfolio increased by 63 basis points from 4.68% for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 to 5.31% for the nine months ended March 31, 2026. The average balance of the loan portfolio increased by $27.4 million, or 15.3%, to $206.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 from $179.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in the average yield on the loan portfolio was the result of higher interest rates on new loan originations. The increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio was primarily related to new loan growth (multi-family real estate loans and one-to-four-family residential loans).
Previous report
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $103,000, or 3.9%, to $2.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 from $2.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, due to an increase in interest paid on FHLB borrowings. Interest expense on deposits decreased slightly when comparing the nine months ended March 31, 2026 to the nine months ended March 31, 2025.
Previous report
The decrease in interest expense on deposits was due to a decrease in the average rate paid on deposits offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits. The average rate paid on deposits decreased by ten basis points to 1.90% for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 from 2.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 due to declining interest rates and a shift in customer funds from fixed-rate certificates of deposit into more liquid deposit products with variable rates. The increase in the average balance of deposits was the result of the initiation of new loan relationships which increased the average balances of demand, NOW, money market and savings deposit accounts while the decrease in the average balance of certificates of deposit accounts was related to runoff due to rate competition by our competitors.
Previous report
Interest paid on FHLB borrowings increased $158,000, from $330,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 to $488,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2026. The increase in interest paid on borrowings was due to the average balance of FHLB advances increasing by $6.4 million to $17.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 from $11.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025. The average rate paid on borrowings decreased from 3.95% for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 to 3.72% for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 due to a decrease in the federal funds rate.
Previous report
Based on our evaluation of the above factors, we recorded a recovery of credit losses of $2,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 compared to a recovery of credit losses of $189,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in recovery when comparing the two periods was primarily related to an increase in the loan portfolio for the nine months ended March 31, 2026. The recovery continues to be related to the projected future economic conditions in our market area stabilizing over the next two years, an increase in prepayments in both consumer and commercial loans, which was impactful to the weighted average life of the loan portfolio and the continuous recoveries of two legacy charge-offs.
Previous report
Non-interest income increased by $45,000 to $625,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 from $580,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2025. Other income increased by $37,000 as a result of the Company leasing the top floor of its Brookfield branch to new tenants and an insurance reimbursement on the Company’s foreclosed assets.
Previous report
Non-interest expenses were $5.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $4.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily related to an increase in salaries and employee benefits, professional fees and other non-interest expenses which was offset by a decrease in data processing and office expenses. The salaries and employee benefits increase was associated with increased compensation expense related to expansion of the Company’s ESOP and the hiring of additional personnel. The increase in professional fees was related to timing of various legal expenses while the increase in other non-interest expenses was due to the payment of the annual NASDAQ listing fee. The decrease in data processing and office expenses was related to a new contract with the Company’s core software provider which started in September 2025. This new contract is expected to save the Company approximately $185,000 annually.

Changes in the Wisconsin unemployment rate, the Wisconsin annual housing price index and the Wisconsin annual gross domestic product could have a material impact on the model’s estimation of the allowance for credit losses. Marathon Bank’s methodology for maintaining its allowance for credit losses includes various levels within each of the aforementioned criteria. Set forth below is a hypothetical change to the next level within Marathon Bank’s allowance calculation. Changing these levels as of March 31, 2026, from those actually used on March 31, 2026 to the next highest or lowest level resulted in an increase in Marathon Bank’s allowance for credit losses of $148,000, or 8.7%.

Provision for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The net interest margin increased to 3.61% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 2.97% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in the average yield on interest earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in the average yield of all interest-earning asset categories (with the exception of cash and cash equivalents which decreased by 71 basis points due to a drop in the federal funds rate) associated with an increase in the percentage of commercial and multi-family real estate loans comprising the total loan portfolio which generally carry higher interest rates than the other categories of loans. Also, the Company has been retaining higher rate mortgages in its one-to-four-family residential loan portfolio. Net interest-earning assets increased by $18.6 million, or 54.6%, to $52.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $34.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Net interest income increased by $340,000, or 17.4%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 from $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Net interest rate spread increased by 17 basis points to 3.22% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 from 3.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, reflecting a 36 basis points increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets which was offset by a 19 basis points increase in the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin increased to 3.72% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 from 3.49% for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in the average yield on interest earning assets for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in the average yield of loans associated with an increase in the percentage of commercial and multi-family real estate loans comprising the total loan portfolio which generally carry higher interest rates than the other categories of loans. Also, the Company has been retaining higher rate mortgages in its one-to-four-family residential loan portfolio. Net interest-earning assets increased by $7.6 million, or 15.0%, to $58.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 from $50.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

The increase in other non-interest expenses was due to the payment of the annual NASDAQ listing fee. The decrease in data processing and office expenses was related to a new contract with the Company’s core software provider which started in September 2025. This new contract is expected to save the Company approximately $185,000 annually.

Commitments. As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make. At March 31, 2026, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $7.4 million, and $672,700 outstanding commitments to sell loans. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current lending commitments. Time deposits that are scheduled to mature in one year or less from March 31, 2026 totaled $52.3 million, which include $10.8 million in brokered certificates of deposit. Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing time deposits will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize additional Federal Home Loan Bank advances or other borrowings, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.

Provision for (Recovery of) Credit Losses. We charge (credit) provisions for (recovery of) credit losses to operations in order to maintain our allowance for credit losses on loans and reserve for unfunded commitments at a level that is considered reasonable and necessary to absorb expected credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and expected losses on commitments to grant loans that are expected to be advanced at the consolidated balance sheet date. In determining the level of the allowance for credit losses, we consider our past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current and future economic conditions, and the levels of non-performing and other classified loans. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or conditions change. We assess the allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis and make provisions for (recovery of) credit losses in order to maintain the allowance.
Previous report — wording carried elsewhere
The allowance for credit losses was $1.7 million, or 0.80%, of loans outstanding at March 31, 2026 and $1.6 million, or 0.85%, of loans outstanding at March 31, 2025.

To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded our best estimate of expected credit losses in the loan portfolio and for unfunded commitments at March 31, 2026. However, future changes in the factors described above, including, but not limited to, actual loss experience with respect to our loan portfolio, could result in material changes to our estimate. In addition, the WDFI and the FDIC, as an integral part of their examination process, will periodically review our allowance for credit losses, and as a result of such reviews, we may have to adjust our allowance for credit losses. However, regulatory agencies are not directly involved in establishing the allowance for credit losses as the process is our responsibility and any increase or decrease in the allowance is the responsibility of management.
