CHARLESTON, S.C., Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bank of South Carolina Corporation (OTCQX: BKSC) announced unaudited earnings of $2,143,640, or $0.40 basic and $0.38 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 – an increase of $341,777, or 18.97%, from earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 of $1,801,863, or $0.33 basic and diluted earnings per share. Unaudited earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased $962,352, or 19.51%, to $5,893,809 compared to $4,931,457 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Annualized returns on average assets and average equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were 1.37% and 14.03%, respectively, compared with September 30, 2024 annualized returns on average assets and average equity of 1.10% and 13.50%, respectively.

Eugene H. Walpole, IV, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased to report net income of $2.1 million for the quarter - our highest quarterly earnings on record and a 19% increase over the same period in 2024. A combination of strong net interest margin, steady fee income, and disciplined expense management continue to drive these outstanding results. Although loans declined during the quarter due to anticipated payoffs, we prudently increased the allowance for credit losses as part of our ongoing risk management strategy. Our balance sheet is well positioned for a potential lower-rate environment, though the timing of such a shift remains uncertain. We are especially proud to have raised the cash dividend for a second consecutive quarter - and for the third time in the past twelve months - marking a true milestone in our thirty-eight-year history. We're grateful to our employees, customers, and shareholders as we look forward to finishing out another successful year."
