Exhibit 99.1
Commercial
Bancgroup, Inc. Announces Results for the Third Quarter 2026
HARROGATE, TN – October 26, 2026 – Commercial Bancgroup,
Inc. (“Commercial” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CBK), the parent company of Commercial Bank (the “Bank”),
today announced net income of $10.9 million, or $0.79 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2026, compared to net income
of $9.5 million, or $0.77 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2025. Core (net of any one-time adjustments) net income
was $10.9 million, or $0.79 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2026, compared to core net income of $9.5 million, or
$0.77 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2025.
Prior
to Commercial’s initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock in October 2025, Commercial had three classes of
common stock outstanding: common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock. On September 18, 2025, Commercial’s
charter was amended and restated. The Company’s amended and restated charter provided for, among other things:
● effective
upon the filing of the amended and restated charter, the reclassification and conversion
of (i) each outstanding share of Class B common stock into 1.15 shares of
common stock and (ii) each outstanding share of Class C common stock into 1.05 shares
of common stock (collectively, the “Stock Reclassification”); and
● effective
immediately following the Stock Reclassification, a 250-for-1 forward stock split in
respect of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Stock Split”).
Our
financial statements, including earnings per share and book value per share data, reflect the Stock Reclassification and Stock Split
retroactively. Because the IPO occurred after September 30, 2025, the financial impacts of the IPO are reflected in the fourth quarter
of 2025 in the financial statements presented in this press release.

Non-GAAP
Financial Measures
This
press release contains certain financial measures that are not financial measures recognized under generally accepted accounting principles
in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and, therefore, are considered non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying
reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. We use non-GAAP financial measures, certain of which are included
in this press release, both to explain our operating results to shareholders and the investment community and to evaluate, analyze, and
manage our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a better understanding of ongoing operations, enhance
the comparability of results across periods, and enable investors to better understand our performance. Our management believes that
the “core” metrics described below and used in this press release assist users of the Company’s financial statements
with their financial analysis period-over-period as they exclude certain non-recurring items. However, non-GAAP financial measures should
not be considered in isolation and should be considered supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the most directly
comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, the manner in which the non-GAAP financial measures
contained in this press release are calculated may differ from the manner in which measures with similar names are calculated by other
companies. You should understand how other companies calculate their financial measures similar to, or with names similar to, the non-GAAP
financial measures contained in this press release when comparing such financial measures.
The
non-GAAP financial measures in this press release include the following:
● Core
deposits. We calculate core deposits by excluding jumbo time deposits (deposits greater than $250,000) and brokered deposits
from total deposits.
● Core
net income. We define core net income as net income plus non-recurring expenses, net of the related tax effect of non-recurring
expenses.
● Core net income per
share diluted. We define core net income per share diluted as core net income divided by weighted average diluted
common shares outstanding.
● Core
ROAA. We define core ROAA as core net income divided by average assets, with average assets based upon the average daily
balance of total assets in each period.
● Core
ROAE. We define core ROAE as core net income divided by average shareholders’ equity, with average shareholders’
equity based upon the average daily balance of total shareholders’ equity in each period.
● Core
ROATCE. We define core ROATCE as core net income divided by total average shareholders’ equity less average intangible
assets (goodwill and core deposit intangibles) net of tax impact.
● Pre-tax
pre-provision net income (PPNI). We define pre-tax pre-provision net income as pre-tax net income plus provision for credit
losses.
● Core
efficiency ratio. We define core efficiency ratio as noninterest expenses (less non-recurring expenses), divided by operating
revenue (net interest income plus total noninterest income). This ratio is an indicator used by our management to assess operating efficiencies
and is intended to demonstrate how efficiently our management is controlling expenses relative to generating revenues on our core activities.
● Pre-tax,
pre-provision ROAA. We define pre-tax, pre-provision ROAA as pre-tax, pre-provision net income divided by average assets
calculated based upon the average daily balance of total assets in each period.
● Tangible
assets. We define tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets.
● ROATCE. We define ROATCE as net income divided by total average shareholders’
equity less average intangible assets (goodwill and core deposit intangibles) net of tax impact.
● Tangible
book value per share. We define tangible book value per share as our tangible common equity, which is shareholders’
equity reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by total shares outstanding.
● Tangible
common equity to tangible assets. We define tangible common equity to tangible assets as tangible common equity divided
by tangible assets calculated as total assets net of intangible assets.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains certain financial measures that are not measures recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP") and, therefore, are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The Appendix to this presentation includes reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We use non-GAAP financial measures, certain of which are included in this presentation, both to explain our operating results to shareholders and the investment community and to evaluate, analyze, and manage our business. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a better understanding of ongoing operations, enhance the comparability of results across periods, and enable investors to better understand our performance. However, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation and should be considered supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, the manner in which the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this presentation are calculated may differ from the manner in which measures with similar names are calculated by other companies. You should understand how other companies calculate their financial measures similar to, or with names similar to, the non-GAAP financial measures contained in this presentation when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.
