What First National Corp. reported on July 29, 2026

The quarter ending June 30, 2026, against the same quarter a year earlier.

These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.

Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.

What management said

“Our quarterly and year-to-date results reflect steady execution of our intentional, profitable growth strategy. Growth in average loan and deposit balances lifted net interest income, and net loans expanded for a second straight quarter as our new and legacy banking teams continue to deepen customer relationships. The net interest margin in excess of four percent combined with expense management and strong asset quality delivered a strong second quarter and first half of the year. I am also pleased to report that we received all regulatory approvals for the pending sale of our North Carolina branches which we expect to close early in the fourth quarter, continuing our branch optimization initiative announced earlier this year,”
