Mechanics Bancorp reported third-quarter 2026 net income of $46.0 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, down from $57.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2026. The decline reflected a $32.3 million loss on a securities portfolio restructuring and a $10.3 million loss on the sale of auto loans, partly offset by lower noninterest expense and acquisition and integration costs.
