GLEN BURNIE, Md., Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Glen Burnie Bancorp (“Company”) (OTCQX: GLBZ), the bank holding company for The Bank of Glen Burnie (“Bank”), today reported net income of $205 thousand, or approximately $0.07 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss of $272 thousand, or $(0.09) per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2026, and net income of $125 thousand, or $0.04 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2025.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company reported net income of $17 thousand, or approximately $0.01 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $66 thousand, or approximately $0.02 per diluted common share, for the first nine months of 2025.

Pre-tax pre-provision income was $299 thousand for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $117 thousand for the second quarter and $131 thousand for the third quarter of 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, pre-tax pre-provision income was $538 thousand, an improvement of approximately $1.2 million from a pre-tax pre-provision loss of $662 thousand for the first nine months of 2025.

Third-quarter results reflected meaningful improvement in the Company’s underlying operating performance as earlier balance-sheet growth began to translate into higher net interest income and improved operating leverage. Net interest income and net interest margin increased, loan yields improved, retail deposit growth exceeded period-end loan growth, and asset quality remained stable. These improvements were partially offset by higher funding and operating costs. Higher market interest rates also increased unrealized losses in the investment securities portfolio, reducing GAAP stockholders’ equity and tangible book capital.

Third Quarter 2026 Highlights

Return to quarterly profitability and improved underlying earnings. Net income was $205 thousand for the third quarter of 2026, compared to a net loss of $272 thousand for the second quarter and net income of $125 thousand for the third quarter of 2025. Pre-tax pre-provision income increased to $299 thousand from $117 thousand linked quarter and $131 thousand for the third quarter of 2025. The linked-quarter improvement reflected higher net interest income, lower provision expense and higher noninterest income, partially offset by higher noninterest expense.

Net interest income and margin improved. Net interest income increased $217 thousand, or 7.3%, to $3.2 million for the third quarter from $3.0 million for the second quarter. Compared to the third quarter of 2025, net interest income increased $365 thousand, or 12.9%. The Bank’s net interest margin increased to 3.19% from 3.11% linked quarter as the yield on earning assets increased faster than the cost of funds. Loan yield increased to 5.82% from 5.63%, while the overall cost of funds increased to 1.61% from 1.52%.

Continued loan growth with stronger retail deposit growth. Total loans increased $7.5 million, or 2.8%, during the third quarter to $275.1 million at September 30, 2026, compared to $267.6 million at June 30, 2026. For the first nine months of 2026, total loans increased $43.9 million, or 19.0%, from $231.2 million at December 31, 2025. Retail deposits increased $11.9 million, or 3.5%, during the third quarter to $355.1 million. Because retail deposit growth exceeded period-end loan growth, wholesale funding declined $3.9 million to $24.4 million, or approximately 6.1% of total assets, from $28.2 million, or 7.1% of total assets, at June 30, 2026.

Lower provision expense with stable asset quality. The provision for credit losses decreased to $94 thousand for the third quarter of 2026 from $569 thousand for the second quarter. The decrease primarily reflected slower loan growth and changes in reserves associated with purchased consumer loans and unfunded commitments. Asset quality remained stable. Nonperforming loans declined to $625 thousand, or 0.23% of total loans, at September 30, 2026, from $669 thousand, or 0.25%, at June 30, 2026. The allowance for credit losses was $3.2 million, or 1.15% of total loans, at September 30, 2026.

Improved operating leverage. Total noninterest expense increased $88 thousand, or 2.6%, to $3.5 million for the third quarter from $3.4 million for the second quarter. Over the same period, the combined increase in net interest income and noninterest income was approximately $270 thousand. As a result, the Company’s efficiency ratio improved to approximately 92.2% from 96.7% linked quarter. The Company’s net operating expense ratio improved modestly to 2.89% from 3.00%. While these measures remain above management’s longer-term objectives, the quarter reflected progress in generating revenue growth faster than operating expense growth.

Noninterest income increased. Noninterest income increased $53 thousand to $637 thousand for the third quarter from $584 thousand for the second quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to higher interchange income associated with the Maryland Renaissance Festival, partially offset by lower mortgage commission income from VA Wholesale Mortgage. Mortgage commission income totaled $307 thousand for the third quarter, compared to $353 thousand for the second quarter, while related mortgage commission expense declined to $193 thousand from $255 thousand.

Sufficient liquidity. At September 30, 2026, the Bank maintained approximately $53.0 million of cash and unencumbered investment securities and approximately $75.6 million of available secured and unsecured borrowing capacity. Total on- and off-balance-sheet liquidity was approximately $128.6 million, or 32.3% of total assets.

Tangible book value. Stockholders’ equity declined to $16.8 million at September 30, 2026 from $21.3 million at June 30, 2026, primarily due to a $4.7 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the market value of available-for-sale investment securities. The unrealized loss on the securities portfolio increased to approximately $27.7 million from $21.1 million, and tangible book value per share declined to approximately $5.62 from $7.16. Although accumulated other comprehensive loss does not affect regulatory capital under the Bank’s AOCI opt-out election, it reduces GAAP and tangible book capital and can limit balance-sheet flexibility.

Capital Flexibility and Special Meeting of Stockholders.

The Company has called a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) for December 9, 2026 to consider amendments to its Articles of Incorporation. See the following sections below: “Capital Position and Special Meeting,” “Additional Information and Where to Find It” and, “Participants in the Solicitation.” Stockholders are urged to read the proxy statement and any other relevant materials carefully to understand the potential benefits and risks of the proposals submitted for consideration.

“We saw meaningful progress in the third quarter as the balance-sheet growth generated earlier this year began to translate into improved earnings,” said Mark C. Hanna, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Net interest income, margin and pre-tax pre-provision income all improved, while retail deposit growth exceeded loan growth and asset quality remained stable. We remain focused on building sustainable earnings, improving operating leverage and maintaining sufficient liquidity and capital to support our strategy.”

Hanna added, “Higher market rates increased unrealized losses in the securities portfolio and reduced tangible book value, underscoring the importance of maintaining financial flexibility. If approved, the proposals at our December Special Meeting would provide the Company greater flexibility to access the capital markets if and when appropriate and expand the range of capital options available as market conditions and opportunities evolve.”

Operating Results

Net interest income increased $217 thousand to $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2026 from $3.0 million for the second quarter. Compared to the third quarter of 2025, net interest income increased $365 thousand, or 12.9%.

Total interest income increased $382 thousand linked quarter to $4.7 million. Interest and fees on loans increased $433 thousand to approximately $4.0 million from $3.5 million for the second quarter. The increase reflected a $19.0 million, or 7.6%, increase in average loan balances and improved loan yields. Loan yield increased to 5.82% from 5.63%.

Total interest expense increased $165 thousand to $1.5 million for the third quarter from $1.4 million for the second quarter. The increase reflected higher average funding balances and higher funding costs. The overall cost of funds increased to 1.61% from 1.52%. Despite the higher funding cost, the yield on earning assets increased to 4.71% from 4.54%, resulting in an improvement in net interest margin to 3.19% from 3.11%.

Noninterest income increased to $637 thousand for the third quarter from $584 thousand for the second quarter. The linked-quarter increase was primarily attributable to higher interchange income associated with the Maryland Renaissance Festival, partially offset by lower mortgage commission income from VA Wholesale Mortgage. Mortgage commission income, net of related mortgage commission expense, increased modestly to approximately $114 thousand from $98 thousand linked quarter.

Noninterest expense increased to $3.5 million for the third quarter from $3.4 million for the second quarter. Compensation, employee benefits and mortgage commission expense increased approximately $19 thousand on a combined basis, while all other operating expenses increased approximately $69 thousand. The increase in operating expenses was more than offset by growth in net interest income and noninterest income, producing improved operating leverage during the quarter.

The Company’s efficiency ratio improved to approximately 92.2% for the third quarter from 96.7% for the second quarter. For the first nine months of 2026, the efficiency ratio improved to approximately 95.0% from approximately 107.3% for the first nine months of 2025. The Company’s net operating expense ratio improved to 2.89% for the third quarter from 3.00% for the second quarter. Although these trends are favorable, management believes additional revenue growth and efficiency initiatives remain necessary to create better operating leverage that leads to sustainable profitability and acceptable returns.

Pre-tax pre-provision income increased to $299 thousand for the third quarter from $117 thousand for the second quarter and $131 thousand for the third quarter of 2025. For the first nine months of 2026, pre-tax pre-provision income was $538 thousand compared to a loss of $662 thousand for the same period of 2025.

Nine-month net income remained below the prior-year period despite the substantial improvement in pre-tax pre-provision performance. The first nine months of 2025 benefited from a $498 thousand release of the allowance for credit losses, compared with provision expense of $749 thousand during the first nine months of 2026.

Balance Sheet and Funding

Total assets increased to $398.8 million at September 30, 2026 from $395.0 million at June 30, 2026 and $359.9 million at December 31, 2025.

Total loans increased to $275.1 million at September 30, 2026 from $267.6 million at June 30, 2026 and $231.2 million at December 31, 2025. Average loans increased approximately 7.6% linked quarter to $269.9 million from $250.9 million. Period-end loans exceeded third-quarter average loans by approximately $5.2 million. To the extent these balances are maintained, the higher ending balance provides a modest favorable starting point for fourth-quarter loan-interest income.

Total deposits were approximately $360.5 million at September 30, 2026, compared with approximately $357.0 million at June 30, 2026 and $332.4 million at December 31, 2025. At the Bank level, retail deposits increased $11.9 million during the third quarter to $355.1 million, while wholesale funding declined $3.9 million to $24.4 million.

The mix of customer deposits shifted toward interest-bearing products during the quarter, including approximately $6.0 million that migrated from noninterest-bearing deposits to the Bank’s Community Advantage Plus Interest Checking Account. The Bank also experienced growth in money market, local certificate-of-deposit and reciprocal deposit balances.

Loans-to-retail deposits decreased modestly to 77.5% at September 30, 2026 from 78.0% at June 30, 2026, while loans-to-total funding increased modestly to 72.5% from 72.0%. Management believes the Bank continues to maintain sufficient liquidity and funding flexibility while using wholesale funding prudently as a supplemental source to support balance-sheet management and attractive lending opportunities.

Asset Quality

Asset quality remained stable during the third quarter. Nonperforming loans declined to $625 thousand, or 0.23% of total loans, at September 30, 2026 from $669 thousand, or 0.25%, at June 30, 2026.

The allowance for credit losses was $3.2 million, or 1.15% of total loans, at September 30, 2026 compared to $3.2 million, or 1.18%, at June 30, 2026. Management believes the reduction in third-quarter provision expense primarily reflected slower loan growth and changes in reserve requirements associated with purchased consumer loans and unfunded commitments rather than deterioration in credit quality.

Net charge-offs were approximately $148 thousand during the third quarter, compared to $108 thousand during the second quarter and $94 thousand during the third quarter of 2025. Annualized net charge-offs represented approximately 0.22% of average loans in the third quarter, compared with 0.17% in both the second quarter of 2026 and the third quarter of 2025. For the first nine months of 2026, net charge-offs were approximately $310 thousand, or 0.16% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared with $143 thousand, or 0.09%, for the first nine months of 2025.

Capital Position and Special Meeting

Stockholders’ equity totaled $16.8 million at September 30, 2026, compared to $21.3 million at June 30, 2026 and $21.4 million at December 31, 2025. The linked-quarter decline was primarily attributable to a $4.7 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with higher market interest rates and the resulting decline in the fair value of available-for-sale investment securities.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased to $20.0 million at September 30, 2026 from $15.3 million at June 30, 2026. Tangible book value per share declined to approximately $5.62 from $7.16 over the same period. Although the Bank’s AOCI opt-out election excludes changes in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss from regulatory capital, the change reduces GAAP and tangible book capital and can limit balance-sheet flexibility. The Bank remains well capitalized with regulatory capital ratios above regulatory minimum requirements at September 30, 2026 with tier 1 leverage and risk-based capital ratios of 8.54% and 11.68%, respectively, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.78%.

Continued balance-sheet growth and the decline in tangible book capital reinforce the importance of maintaining financial flexibility. Management remains focused on preserving sufficient liquidity and capital while maintaining the ability to respond to changing market conditions, attractive growth opportunities and other strategic alternatives.

On October 23, 2026, the Company began mailing proxy materials for the Special Meeting, to be held virtually on December 9, 2026. Stockholders of record at the close of business on October 15, 2026 are entitled to vote. At the Special Meeting, stockholders will be asked to approve amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to (1) increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 5,000,000 to 15,000,000, (2) authorize the Board of Directors to classify or reclassify unissued shares of stock, and (3) reduce the stockholder vote required to approve future charter amendments from two-thirds to a majority of all votes entitled to be cast. Stockholders will also be asked to approve an adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies. The proposals do not themselves issue any shares, and the Company currently has no plans, understandings or arrangements to issue any of the additional authorized shares. Stockholders are urged to read the proxy statement carefully. See “Additional Information and Where to Find It” below.

Results for the third quarter of 2026 reflected meaningful progress in converting the Company’s recent balance sheet growth into improved operating performance. The Company returned to quarterly profitability, increased net interest income and margin, improved pre-tax pre-provision earnings and operating efficiency, maintained stable asset quality and strengthened the mix of period-end funding. Management remains focused on building sustainable earnings and operating leverage while maintaining sufficient liquidity and capital to support the Company’s long-term strategy.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying financial tables include certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including pre-tax pre-provision income, tangible book value per share, the tangible capital ratio, the efficiency ratio, core loan yield and core net interest margin. “Core loan yield” and “core net interest margin” are calculated in the same manner as loan yield and net interest margin, respectively, except that they exclude nonrecurring loan interest recognized, which management does not consider representative of the Company’s ongoing loan portfolio performance. Pre-tax pre-provision income is income (loss) before income taxes plus the provision (or less the release) of the allowance for credit losses. Tangible book value per share and the tangible capital ratio excludes goodwill. Management believes these measures provide useful supplemental information for evaluating the Company’s underlying operating performance and capital position. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Methanex Corporation (the “Company” or “Methanex”) (TSX: MX) (Nasdaq: MEOH) announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) whereby the Company will be entitled to purchase for cancellation up to 3,868,213 common shares (“Shares”), representing 5% of the 77,364,263 Shares issued and outstanding as of October 29, 2026. Purchases under the NCIB may commence on November 4, 2026 and end no later than November 3, 2027. Any purchases will be made from time to time at the then current market price of the Shares and all Shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled.

Rich Sumner, President and CEO, Methanex Corporation, stated, “With strong operational results and high methanol prices, we are making great progress on de-leveraging to a stronger and more resilient balance sheet and we are pleased to announce the opening of this share repurchase program that will allow us to return additional capital to our shareholders.”

The Company will enter into an automatic securities purchase plan with its broker in connection with purchases to be made under the NCIB, which will enable Methanex to provide standard instructions and purchase Shares on the open market during self-imposed blackout periods.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Minerals Technologies Inc. (NYSE: MTX) (“MTI”), a leading, technology-driven specialty minerals company, today reported earnings per share for the third quarter ended October 4, 2026, of $1.37, or $1.53 excluding special items.

“Our sales growth continued in the third quarter, and we remain on track to achieve mid-single-digit revenue growth for the full year,” said Douglas T. Dietrich, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We also continue to execute on our growth strategy with the recent announcement of two new solutions that target opportunities in rare earths and critical minerals. This demonstrates our ability to extend our core technologies to new applications and deliver continued long-term growth and value creation.”

Third Quarter 2026 Consolidated Results

MTI’s worldwide net sales for the third quarter were $555 million, up 4 percent over the prior year and 1 percent higher sequentially. For the first nine months of 2026, consolidated sales were $1.7 billion, up 6 percent over the prior year.

Reported operating income in the third quarter was $65 million, or $72 million, excluding special items. The reported operating margin was 11.7 percent of sales or 12.9 percent, excluding special items.

Cash flow from operations and free cash flow were strong at $76 million and $52 million, respectively, in the third quarter.

Third Quarter 2026 Segment Results

Consumer & Specialties segment sales were $278 million, up slightly over the prior year and 1 percent higher sequentially. Sales in the Household & Personal Care product line were $131 million and increased 1 percent over the prior year and 6 percent sequentially. The sequential increase in Household & Personal Care sales was driven by higher cat litter volumes in North America and growth in edible oil and renewable fuel purification, personal care, and fabric care. Sales in the Specialty Additives product line were $148 million, flat with prior year and 2 percent lower sequentially.

Segment operating income was $25 million, down 34 percent from the prior year primarily due to higher energy, transportation, and raw material costs that were not fully recovered within the quarter due to the timing of contractual pricing adjustments.

MTI’s Consumer & Specialties segment provides functional components that become part of a variety of consumer and industrial products and touch millions of lives every day. It includes two product lines: Household & Personal Care, which delivers mineral-to-market products for improved performance and enhanced consumer experiences in end markets including cat litter, household and personal care, edible oil and renewable fuel purification, animal health, and agriculture; and Specialty Additives, which offers mineral-based technologies for improved functionality in end markets including paper and packaging, food and pharmaceuticals, sealants and adhesives, paints and coatings, and residential construction.

Engineered Solutions segment sales were $277 million, up 9 percent over the prior year and 1 percent sequentially. Sales in the High-Temperature Technologies product line were $192 million, up 7 percent over the prior year and 1 percent sequentially. The growth over the prior year was driven by higher sales to steel and foundry customers. In the Environmental & Infrastructure product line, sales were $85 million, up 11 percent over the prior year and 1 percent sequentially. Stronger sales for environmental lining and remediation products, building materials, and infrastructure drilling products drove the increase in sales over the prior year.

Segment operating income was $49 million, up 9 percent over the prior year, and represented an operating margin of 17.6 percent of sales.

MTI’s Engineered Solutions segment provides advanced technologies and solutions designed to improve customers’ manufacturing processes and projects. It includes two product lines: High-Temperature Technologies, which delivers mineral-based blends, technologies, and systems that solve complex challenges in the foundry, steel, and other high-temperature processing industries; and Environmental & Infrastructure, which offers solutions for water treatment, fluid management, building materials, and environmental, remediation, and infrastructure-related projects.

2026 Investor Day

On September 22, 2026, MTI held an Investor Day at its R&D facility in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where it reaffirmed its long-term targets and value creation opportunities. The company also introduced new breakthrough innovations, including the capability to produce high-purity calcium metal to support U.S. heavy rare earth metallization and a new application of MTI’s proprietary waste repurposing technology to extract commercially valuable minerals from steel slag. The company estimates that these two opportunities alone could create over $200 million in revenue over the next five years.

Private Offering

On October 13, 2026, MTI completed a $400 million private offering of 7.5 percent senior notes due 2032 at par and used the net proceeds to repay its $400 million in senior notes due in 2028. The company also amended its credit agreement to increase the amount of its revolving credit facility from $400 million to $500 million of capacity and extend the maturity to 2031.

Dividend Increase

On October 21, 2026, MTI increased its regular quarterly dividend on the company’s common stock by 8 percent to $0.13 per share. The dividend is payable on December 3, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 5, 2026.

“This is the fourth year in a row that MTI’s Board of Directors has authorized an increase of our quarterly dividend, reflecting our confidence in MTI’s continued ability to deliver steady cash flow, create value for shareholders, and execute on its long-term growth strategy,” said Dietrich.

1	)	For comparative purposes, the quarterly periods ended October 4, 2026, July 5, 2026, and September 28, 2025 each consisted of 91 days. The nine month periods ended October 4, 2026 and September 28, 2025 consisted of 277 days and 271 days, respectively.
2	)	To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the following is a presentation of the Company’s non-GAAP earnings per share, excluding special items, for the quarterly periods ended October 4, 2026, July 5, 2026, and September 28, 2025, and the nine month periods ended October 4, 2026 and September 28, 2025 and a reconciliation to reported earnings per share for such periods. The Company’s management believes these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance as the inclusion of such special items are not indicative of the ongoing operating results and thereby affect the comparability of results between periods. The Company believes inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors’ understanding of historic operating trends.

		In the first nine months of 2025, the Company recorded a $5.6 million net gain on the final installment for the sale of refractories manufacturing assets in China. In addition, the Company initiated a cost savings program and recorded a $5.5 million charge relating to severance and other costs. The Company also recorded a $5.8 million charge in restructuring and other items primarily for the write-down of assets and other charges relating to the consolidation of two facilities.
		In the first quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a $215 million provision to establish a reserve for estimated costs to fund a trust to resolve all current and future talc-related settlements as well as fund the bankruptcy of BMI Oldco Inc.’s (f/k/a Barretts Minerals Inc.) (“Oldco”) and Barretts Ventures Texas LLC, and related litigation costs. Included in this provision is $30 million of additional debtor-in-possession financing by Minerals Technologies Investments LLC to the Debtors, which was committed in Q2 2025. The Company incurred litigation and settlement expenses of $6.7 million, $4.9 million, and $7.5 million for the quarterly periods ending October 4, 2026, July 5, 2026, and September 28, 2025, respectively, in connection with the bankruptcy of Oldco and lawsuits related to talc products sold by Oldco.
		In the second quarter of 2026, the Company filed a Plan of Reorganization in the Chapter 11 cases of its subsidiary BMI Oldco Inc., which would present a viable, efficient, and advantageous resolution of these Chapter 11 cases. Accordingly, the Company recorded a charge of $290 million to increase the Company’s reserve for estimated costs.
3	)	Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. The following is a presentation of the Company’s non-GAAP free cash flow for the quarterly periods ended October 4, 2026, July 5, 2026, and September 28, 2025, and the nine month periods ended October 4, 2026 and September 28, 2025 and a reconciliation to cash flow from operations for such periods. The Company’s management believes this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful supplemental information as management uses this measure to evaluate the Company’s ability to maintain capital assets, satisfy current and future obligations, repurchase stock, pay dividends, and fund future business opportunities. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since the Company has certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure. The Company’s definition of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the following is a presentation of the Company’s non-GAAP operating income, excluding special items (set forth in the above table), for the quarterly periods ended October 4, 2026, July 5, 2026, and September 28, 2025, and the nine month periods ended October 4, 2026 and September 28, 2025, constituting a reconciliation to GAAP operating income (loss) set forth above. The Company’s management believes these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance as the inclusion of such special items are not indicative of ongoing operating results and thereby affect the comparability of results between periods. The Company believes inclusion of these non-GAAP measures also provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors’ understanding of historic operating trends.
