Manhattan, KS, May 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Landmark Bancorp, Inc. (("Landmark", NASDAQ:LARK) reported diluted earnings per share of $0.64 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $0.23 per share in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $0.59 per share in the same quarter last year. Net earnings for the first quarter of 2023 amounted to $3.4 million, compared to $1.2 million in the prior quarter and $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the return on average assets was 0.90%, the return on average equity was 12.04%, and the efficiency ratio was 70.1%.

In making this announcement, Michael E. Scheopner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Landmark, said, "We are pleased with our first quarter results, which included continued solid loan growth, lower expenses, and good credit quality. Compared to the fourth quarter 2022, total gross loans increased by $19.6 million, or 9.4% on an annualized basis. Deposits decreased $6.6 million, or 2.1%, during the first quarter of 2023 as expected mainly due to a seasonal decline in public fund deposit balances. We experienced very little deposit runoff in the wake of the bank closures in March and we are very confident in the strength of our deposit base and our overall liquidity. Net interest income increased $2.3 million, or 26.6%, compared to the first quarter of 2022 but declined $939,000, or 7.9%, from the prior quarter as rising interest rates impacted our funding costs. Net interest margin increased to 3.31% during the first quarter of 2023 as compared to 2.99% in the first quarter of last year but declined from 3.53% in the prior quarter. Non-interest income declined 1.9% compared to the same period last year due to lower gains on sales of residential mortgage loans but increased $683,000 from the prior quarter as a result of investment securities losses of $750,000 taken in the fourth quarter 2022. This quarter non-interest expense declined $3.6 million from the prior quarter mainly due to lower expenses overall and acquisition costs of $3.0 million in the prior quarter that did not reoccur in the first quarter 2023. "

Mr. Scheopner continued, "Credit quality remains very strong as non-accrual loans and delinquencies continue to remain low. Landmark recorded net loan charge-offs of $47,000 in the first quarter of 2023 compared to net loan recoveries of $82,000 in the first quarter of 2022 and net loan charge-offs of $67,000 in the fourth quarter of 2022. Non-accrual loans totaled $3.3 million or 0.38% of gross loans at March 31, 2023 and have declined $1.4 million over the last twelve months. Also, the balance of loans past due 30 to 89 days remained low. The allowance for loan losses totaled $10.3 million at March 31, 2023, or 1.18% of period end gross loans. The adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), commonly referred to as "CECL," on January 1, 2023, resulted in an increase of $1.5 million in our allowance for credit losses. Our equity to assets ratio totaled 7.74% while loans to deposits totaled 66.4%."

Total assets at March 31, 2023 were $1.5 billion, total gross loans were $869.8 million and total deposits were $1.3 billion.

Landmark's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.21 per share, to be paid May 31, 2023, to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 17, 2023.

SUMMARY OF FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income in the first quarter of 2023 amounted to $10.9 million representing a decrease of $939,000 compared to the previous quarter. This decrease in net interest income was due mainly to higher interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds but offset mainly by growth in interest income on loans. The net interest margin totaled 3.31% during the first quarter compared to 3.53% in the prior quarter. Compared to the previous quarter, interest income on loans increased $275,000, or 2.5%, to $11.4 million due to both higher rates and balances while the average tax-equivalent yield on the loan portfolio increased 14 basis points to 5.43%. Interest income on investment securities grew to $3.1 million on slightly lower average balances but higher rates. The average tax-equivalent yield on investment securities totaled 2.68% this quarter compared to 2.56% in the prior quarter.

Interest expense on deposits increased $1.1 million in the first quarter 2023 mainly due to higher rates and average balances on interest-bearing deposits. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits increased this quarter to 1.18% compared to 0.68% in the prior quarter. Interest expense on total borrowed funds grew to $1.1 million as the average rate paid increased 99 basis points to 4.69%.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income totaled $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of $68,000, or 1.9%, compared to the same period last year and an increase of $683,000, or 24.3%, from the previous quarter. The decrease in non-interest income during the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to a decline of $212,000 in gains on sales of one-to-four family residential real estate loans as higher interest rates and low housing inventories reduced originations of these fixed rate loans compared to the same quarter last year. Fees and service charges increased $170,000, or 7.8%, over the same period last year mainly due to increased deposit-related income. A loss of $750,000 was recorded in the fourth of 2022 on the sale of certain low yielding investment securities in our portfolio while there were no security gains or losses in the first quarter of 2023 or 2022.

Non-Interest Expense

During the first quarter of 2023, non-interest expense totaled $10.3 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 17.0%, over the same period in 2022 but a decrease of $3.6 million, or 25.9%, compared to the prior quarter. Compared to the same period last year, higher costs this year for compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing and other non-interest expenses were primarily due to higher operating costs associated with the Freedom Bank acquisition, while amortization expense increased $145,000 this quarter due to the core deposit intangible recorded for this acquisition. The decrease in non-interest expense compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to acquisition costs of $3.0 million which did not reoccur. Also, during the fourth quarter of 2022, a one-time valuation allowance of $354,000 was recorded on certain real estate owned and included in other non-interest expense.

Income Tax Expense

Landmark recorded income tax expense of $693,000 in the first quarter of 2023 compared to income tax expense of $737,000 in the first quarter of 2022 and an income tax benefit of $466,000 in the fourth quarter of 2022. The effective tax rate decreased to 17.1% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to 19.0% in the first quarter of 2022 and (62.5%) in the fourth quarter of 2022. The fourth quarter of 2022 included the recognition of $465,000 of previously unrecognized tax benefits, which reduced the effective tax rate in the period.

Liquidity Highlights

In addition to local retail, commercial and public fund deposits, the Company has access to multiple sources of brokered deposits that can be utilized for liquidity. Landmark also has diverse sources of liquidity available through both secured and unsecured borrowing lines of credit. At March 31, 2023, Landmark had collateral pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") that would allow for an additional $151.1 million of FHLB borrowings. Additionally, investment securities were pledged to the Federal Reserve discount window that creates a borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve of $64.6 million. Landmark also had various other federal funds agreements, both secured and unsecured, with correspondent banks totaling approximately $30.0 million in available credit at March 31, 2023.

As of March 31, 2023, Landmark had unpledged available-for-sale investment securities with a fair value of $71.8 million as well as approximately $111.9 million of pledged investment securities in excess of required levels. The average life of the Company's investment portfolio is approximately 4.2 years and is projected to generate cash flow of $72.9 million over the next 12 months.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of March 31, 2023, gross loans totaled $869.8 million, an increase of $19.6 million, or 9.4% annualized since December 31, 2022. During the quarter, loan growth was comprised of commercial real estate (growth of $12.8 million), residential real estate (growth of $9.1 million), consumer (growth of $2.2 million) and construction and land loans (growth of $0.4 million). Investment securities increased $863,000, during the first quarter of 2023, while gross unrealized net losses on these investment securities decreased from $33.2 million at December 31, 2022 to $26.5 million at March 31, 2023. Deposit balances decreased $6.6 million, or 2.1% on an annualized basis, to $1.3 billion at March 31, 2023. The decrease in deposits was mainly driven by seasonal decline in public fund deposit accounts. Growth in non-interest demand (growth of $11.8 million) and certificate of deposit accounts (growth of $20.9 million) this quarter was mainly offset by lower money market and interest checking accounts. Average borrowings, including Federal Home Loan Bank debt and repurchase agreements declined $2.6 million this quarter. At March 31, 2023, the loan to deposits ratio was 66.4% compared to 64.7% in the prior quarter and 54.9% in the same period last year.

Total deposits include uninsured deposits of $224.7 million and $192.9 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. This represents less than 18% of our total deposits at March 31, 2023 and compares favorably with other similar community banking organizations. Over 99% of Landmark's total deposits were considered core deposits at March 31, 2023. These deposit balances are from retail, commercial and public fund customers located in the markets where the Company has bank branch locations.

Stockholders' equity increased to $117.7 million (book value of $22.58 per share) as of March 31, 2023, from $111.4 million (book value of $21.38 per share) as of December 31, 2022, mainly due to a decrease in other comprehensive losses during the first quarter of 2023 related to the decline in the unrealized losses on investment securities mentioned above but offset by the after-tax CECL adjustment of $1.2 million. The ratio of equity to total assets increased to 7.74% on March 31, 2023, from 7.41% on December 31, 2022.

The allowance for credit losses totaled $10.3 million, or 1.18% of total gross loans on March 31, 2023, compared to $8.8 million, or 1.03% of total gross loans on December 31, 2022. The increase in the allowance for credit losses was primarily due to a $1.5 million increase related to the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2023. Net loan charge-offs totaled $47,000 in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $67,000 during the fourth quarter of 2022 and net loan recoveries of $82,000 during the same quarter last year. The ratio of annualized net loan charge-offs to total average loans was 0.02% in the first quarter of 2023, (0.05%) in the first quarter of last year and 0.03% in the prior quarter. A provision for credit losses of $49,000 was made in the first quarter of 2023 related to unfunded loan commitments and held-to-maturity investments securities. No provision for credit losses was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022 while a credit provision of $500,000 was recorded in the first quarter 2022.

Non-performing loans totaled $3.3 million, or 0.38% of gross loans, while loans 30-89 days delinquent totaled $1.5 million, or 0.17% of gross loans, as of March 31, 2023. Real estate owned totaled $0.9 million at March 31, 2023.
