ARCHBOLD, Ohio, July 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:FMAO) today reported financial results for the 2025 second quarter and year-to-date ended June 30, 2025.

2025 Second Quarter Financial and Operating Highlights

(at June 30, 2025 and on a year-over-year basis unless noted)

• 89 consecutive quarters of profitability
• Net income increased 35.7% to $7.7 million, or $0.56 per basic and diluted share
• Net interest margin expands for fourth consecutive quarter, up 51 basis points year-over-year to 3.22%
• Total loans increased by $67.2 million, or 2.6% to $2.63 billion
• Total assets increased by $23.1 million, or 0.7% to $3.35 billion
• Total deposits increased by $69.2 million, or 2.6% to $2.71 billion
• Efficiency ratio improved to 64.93%, compared to 69.03%
• Asset quality remains at historically strong levels with nonperforming loans of only $3.7 million
• Net charge-offs to average loans of 0.00%
• Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.50%

Lars B. Eller, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Net income for the 2025 second quarter was one of the most profitable quarters and our second-strongest second quarter in F&M's 128-year history. This performance was driven by strong levels of core profitability, continued growth in our net interest margin, and the successful execution of our multi-year strategic plan. Over the past 12 months, we have enhanced our product offerings, simplified account openings, and continued our focus on attracting and developing proven talent across our regions. The positive momentum we are experiencing today is a direct result of these efforts, as well as our team's commitment to helping people in our communities live their best lives."

Mr. Eller continued, "Total revenue growth, which is defined by net interest income plus noninterest income, grew by 18.2% year-over-year in the 2025 second quarter, compared to 16.7% in the 2025 first quarter. This growth continues to significantly outpace the rise in noninterest expenses, contributing to a more favorable efficiency ratio and ongoing improvements in core profitability."

"Supporting this revenue momentum is the ongoing expansion of our net interest margin, which increased 51 basis points year-over-year and 19 basis points from the 2025 first quarter. Net interest margin is benefiting from higher asset yields as existing loans reprice and new originations are booked at more favorable rates. At the same time, our growing customer relationships and a more stable interest rate environment have improved our cost of funds."

Income Statement

Net income for the 2025 second quarter ended June 30, 2025, was $7.7 million, compared to $5.7 million for the same period last year. Net income per basic and diluted share for the 2025 second quarter was $0.56, compared to $0.42 for the same period last year. Net income for the 2025 first half ended June 30, 2025, was $14.7 million, compared to $11.0 million for the same period last year. Net income per basic and diluted share for the 2025 first half was $1.07, compared to $0.81 for the same period last year.

Deposits

At June 30, 2025, total deposits were $2.71 billion, an increase of 2.6% from June 30, 2024. The Company's cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.83% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to 3.18% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Mr. Eller commented, "We ended the second quarter with $2.71 billion in deposits, reflecting the success of our efforts to expand relationship-based banking across the Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan markets. Building on recent product enhancements, we are also investing in new tools and capabilities to expand our marketing efforts and better communicate the value of F&M's offerings."

Loan Portfolio and Asset Quality

"Loan demand remains strong, with total loans, net increasing sequentially by $45.0 million, or at a 7.0% annualized rate. We are managing growth with disciplined pricing and remain focused on maintaining strong asset quality. Net charge offs to average loans have been under 0.03% for 17 consecutive quarters, demonstrating the growing sophistication of our credit cultural and risk management capabilities," continued Mr. Eller.

Total loans, net at June 30, 2025, increased 2.6%, or by $67.2 million to $2.63 billion, compared to $2.56 billion at June 30, 2024. The year-over-year increase was driven primarily by higher commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and agricultural loans, partially offset primarily by lower agricultural real estate, consumer real estate, and consumer loans. Compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2024, total loans, net at June 30, 2025, increased by 2.5% or $65.0 million.

F&M continues to closely monitor its loan portfolio with a particular emphasis on higher risk sectors. Nonperforming loans were $3.7 million, or 0.14% of total loans at June 30, 2025, compared to $2.5 million, or 0.10% of total loans at June 30, 2024, and $3.1 million, or 0.12% at December 31, 2024.

F&M maintains a well-balanced, diverse and high performing CRE portfolio. CRE loans represented 51.2% of the Company's total loan portfolio at June 30, 2025. F&M's CRE portfolio included the following categories at June 30, 2025:

Mr. Eller concluded, "We continue to believe F&M is in a strong position because of the platform we have built and the strategies we are pursuing to grow our business profitability. We expect continued loan growth, stable asset quality, and further expansion in our net interest margin to support increasing levels of profitability in the back half of 2025. As a result, we continue to believe 2025 will be another good year for F&M."
