Eagle Bancorp Montana Earns $4.0 Million, or $0.51 per Diluted Share, in the First Quarter of 2026, Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.145 Per Share and Renews Stock Repurchase Plan

HELENA, Mont., April 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (NASDAQ: EBMT), (the “Company,” “Eagle”), the holding company of Opportunity Bank of Montana (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $4.0 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $4.7 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, in the preceding quarter, and $3.2 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025.

Eagle’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.145 per share on April 23, 2026. The dividend will be payable June 5, 2026, to shareholders of record May 15, 2026. The current dividend represents an annualized yield of 2.72% based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock reported on NASDAQ during the first quarter of 2026 of $21.32 per share.

“Eagle’s first quarter results reflect the continued strength of our franchise and the durability of our core earnings,” said Laura F. Clark, President and CEO. “Net income and earnings per share increased compared to the first quarter of last year, driven by further improvement in our funding costs, resilient asset yields and disciplined expense management. Net interest margin continued to expand during the quarter, and with a strong core deposit base and a diversified loan portfolio, we remain well positioned to pursue opportunities across our Montana market and deliver long term value for our shareholders.”
