A sharp rise in credit costs drove Ohio Valley Banc's second-quarter net income down 30.5% to $2.9 million. The provision for credit losses more than tripled to $3.8 million, fueled by two large commercial loans—an auto dealership and a hotel construction project—that turned sour. As a result, nonperforming loans climbed to 1.44% of total loans from just 0.45% a year ago. While management describes the stress as contained, the steep increase in credit costs and the allowance build to 1.33% of loans point to meaningful asset quality deterioration that will weigh on earnings and capital ratios in the quarters ahead.
