The ability to combine revenue growth with expense control, primarily due to automation and the ongoing consolidation within our Facilities division, offers very compelling earnings momentum for us in coming periods."

First Quarter 2026 Financial Commentary

(All comparisons refer to the first quarter of 2025, except as noted)

Transportation Invoice and Dollar Volumes – Transportation invoice volumes of 8.1 million decreased 3.1% as compared to the first quarter of 2025. Transportation dollar volumes of $9.0 billion increased 4.5% as compared to the first quarter of 2025. The average dollars per invoice were $1,115 in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $1,093 in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $1,034 in the first quarter of 2025. Invoice volumes remain lower than prior periods primarily due to the ongoing freight recession. Dollars per invoice increased as compared to the first quarter of 2025 due to an increase in overall freight rates, as well as the impact of tariffs. A more detailed analysis of Cass Freight Index® changes can be found at www.cassinfo.com.

Facility Expense Invoice and Dollar Volumes – Facility expense invoice volumes of 4.0 million decreased 4.4% as compared to the first quarter of 2025. Facility expense dollar volumes totaled $6.3 billion, an increase of 7.4% as compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase in facility dollar volumes was primarily driven by rising energy prices.

Processing Fees – Processing fees decreased $741,000, or 4.5% over the same period in the prior year due to lower transportation and facility transaction volumes.

Financial Fees – Financial fees, earned on a transactional level basis for invoice payment services when making customer payments, increased $470,000, or 4.7%. The increase in financial fees was primarily due to an increase in average payments in advance of funding of 2.0%. The Company has recently seen increased demand for its quick pay solutions and continues to focus on the rollout of its Amplify working capital solution as well as other opportunities to increase payments in advance of funding and resulting financial fees in future quarters.

Net Interest Income – Net interest income increased $1.9 million, or 10.1%. The increase in net interest income was attributable to the net interest margin improving to 3.95% as compared to 3.75% in the same period last year, in addition to an increase in average interest-earning assets of $110.2 million, or 5.2%.

The Company’s net interest margin improvement was driven by increases in the average yield on loans and investment securities of 20 and 83 basis points, respectively, combined with a decrease in the average cost of total deposits of 15 basis points, partially offset by a decrease in the yield on short-term investments of 73 basis points. The increase in loan yield was driven by the continued maturity and subsequent re-pricing of fixed rate loans originated in the years 2021 and 2022 to current market interest rates as well as the payoff of a non-performing loan which increased the loan yield by seven basis points. The increase in the investment securities yield was driven by the partial repositioning of the portfolio at the end of the second quarter of 2025 as well as purchases of investments at current market rates. The decline in the cost of total deposits and yield on short-term investments was driven by the reduction in the federal funds rate.

The Company would expect continued expansion in its net interest margin in future quarters to the extent 3-5 year U.S. Treasury interest rates stay relatively consistent or increase as compared to current levels.

Provision for Credit Losses - The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $61,000 during the first quarter of 2026 as compared to $905,000 in the first quarter of 2025. The provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2026 was largely driven by loan growth.

Personnel Expenses - Personnel expenses were flat as compared to the first quarter of 2025. Salaries and commissions decreased $395,000, or 2.0%, as a result of the decrease in average full-time equivalent employees (“FTEs”) of 7.9% due to automation and the ongoing consolidation within our Facilities division, partially offset by merit increases. Share-based compensation and employee profit sharing increased $198,000 and $132,000, respectively, due to the improvement in net income from continuing operations. Other benefits increased $65,000, or 1.3%, due to higher health insurance costs, partially offset by the decrease in average FTEs.

The Company continues to expect a gradual decline in its FTEs in future quarters as a result of the continued focus on AI-enabled systems and other operational efficiency opportunities.

Equipment Expense - Equipment expense increased $138,000 as compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to an increase in depreciation and licensing and maintenance expense on software related to recently completed technology initiatives.

Other Expense - Other expense increased $590,000, or 8.5%, as compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase is primarily due to higher business development, postage and professional fees.

Loans - When compared to December 31, 2025, loans increased $27.5 million, or 2.6%. Other commercial and industrial loans increased $22.7 million during the first quarter of 2026. The Company expects loan growth of 6-8% for full year 2026.

Payments in Advance of Funding – Average payments in advance of funding increased $3.4 million, or 2.0%, as compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to a 4.5% increase in transportation dollar volumes. The ending balance of payments in advance of funding increased $96.1 million, or 58.4%, as compared to December 31, 2025. The increase is due to a recent higher level of demand for the Company’s quick pay solutions as well as timing of quarter end advances.

Deposits – Average deposits increased $36.6 million, or 3.5%, when compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Accounts and Drafts Payable - Average accounts and drafts payable increased $100.1 million, or 9.3%, as compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase in these balances, which are non-interest bearing, are primarily reflective of the increase in transportation and facility dollar volumes of 4.5% and 7.4%, respectively.

Short-term Borrowings - The Company had outstanding borrowings of $145.0 million on its lines of credit at March 31, 2026 primarily in order to fund a $96.1 million increase in payments in advance of funding as compared to December 31, 2025.

Shareholders’ Equity - Total shareholders’ equity decreased $1.2 million as compared to December 31, 2025 as a result of the repurchase of Company stock of $2.9 million, dividends of $4.1 million, and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $3.4 million, partially offset by net income of $8.8 million.

Dividend - On April 21, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.32 per share with the dividend payable on June 15, 2026 to shareholders of record on June 5, 2026.

Repurchase of Common Stock - The Company repurchased 64,802 shares of common stock during the current quarter. The Company anticipates further repurchases in coming quarters with an overall objective of maintaining a leverage ratio of approximately 10.00%. Future levels of repurchases will depend on market conditions, earnings, balance sheet growth and potential acquisition opportunities.

Asset Quality - Non-performing loans totaled $3.1 million at March 31, 2026, a decrease of $3.9 million as compared to December 31, 2025. The Company received a full payoff on one of its three non-performing loans during the first quarter of 2026 and does not believe there is more than nominal loss exposure on the remaining two loans based on collateral position.

On April 7, 2025, the Company signed an Asset Purchase Agreement providing for the sale of its Telecom Expense Management & Managed Mobility Services (“TEM”) business to Asignet USA Inc. The sale closed on June 30, 2025. The Company has applied discontinued operations accounting in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 205-20, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations,” to the assets and liabilities sold related to the Company's TEM Business Unit as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, September 30, 2025, June 30, 2025, and March 31, 2025, as applicable. All financial information in this earnings release is reported on a continuing operations basis, unless otherwise noted.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain of the financial measures and ratios the Company presents, including “adjusted net income from continuing operations,” and “adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations,” are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company refers to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures.” The Company considers the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance by excluding certain revenue and expense items that the Company believes are not indicative of its primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics on a fully taxable equivalent basis. The Company believes that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of the Company’s performance. The non-GAAP financial measures the Company presents may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company’s peers or other companies. The Company compensates for these differences by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever the Company presents the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing the Company’s performance. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables.

Risks

  • Continued freight recession impacts transportation invoice volumes, reflecting volatility in transportation sector demand.
  • Exposure to credit risk, though currently low, with a modest provision for credit losses and lingering non-performing loans.
  • Market conditions and regulatory changes could affect future stock repurchase activities and dividend policies, introducing potential financial uncertainty.
