The company's net interest income also saw an increase, totaling $53.4 million, which is $4.2 million higher than the $49.1 million reported in the second quarter of 2025.

The company’s total deposits increased by $93.1 million, or 2%, to $5.30 billion, driven by higher public deposit balances and an increase in brokered deposits. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits accounted for 17.9% of total deposits, while interest-bearing demand deposits made up 13.4%. The efficiency ratio improved to 55.33% from 59.68% a year ago, indicating better expense management relative to revenue generation.
Looking ahead, Financial Institutions, Inc. remains focused on organic growth and evaluating potential acquisition opportunities to enhance its service offerings.
