Message From The CEO

Dear Neighbors,

I am proud to present our 2025 Semi-Annual Report, highlighting the progress and achievements Thomaston Savings Bank has made over the past six months.

As we closed out 2024, we also concluded the exciting celebrations marking our 150th Anniversary. It was truly an honor to commemorate this milestone alongside our employees, clients, and neighbors. This year, we are excited to continue the spirit of celebration by joining the Town of Thomaston for their own 150th anniversary festivities.

We are pleased to share several recent enhancements to our online and in-person banking experiences. We are continually evaluating our products and services to ensure they meet the evolving needs and goals of our clients, aligning with our vision to build thriving communities through financial access, education, and opportunity for all.

Sincerely,

Stephen L. Lewis

President & CEO, Thomaston Savings Bank

Fiscal Highlights

The first half of our current fiscal year was highlighted by solid loan growth and improved earnings. Total assets remained at $1.82 billion at March 31, 2025. Total deposits increased $7 million, or 0.5%, to $1.61 billion. Total loans increased $30 million, or 2.3%, to $1.31 billion. Total borrowings declined $10 million, or 12.6% to $69 million. Capital improved $3 million due to increased retained earnings during the period despite deterioration in the market values of the Bank’s bond investment portfolio.

The Bank’s core net income, which excludes certain non-recurring items, was $5.3 million for the first six months of the fiscal year. Compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, current year results were $431,000, or 8.8%, higher, due to higher interest income on loans and lower interest expense on borrowed funds. Noninterest income grew $675,000, or 15.8% versus the prior period. Loan loss provision expenses were $350,000 lower due to the recovery of principal on a few loans that were previously charged off. Core operating expenses were higher by $1.2 million, or 5.6%, with salary, data processing, and benefits expenses having the largest impact on the increase.
