    Manhattan, KS, Oct. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Landmark Bancorp, Inc. (("Landmark", NASDAQ:LARK) reported diluted earnings per share of $0.85 for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $0.75 per share in the second quarter of 2025 and $0.68 per share in the same quarter of the prior year. Net earnings for the third quarter totaled $4.9 million, compared to $4.4 million in the prior quarter and $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the return on average assets was 1.21%, the return on average equity was 13.00% and the efficiency ratio(1) was 60.7%.

    For the first nine months of 2025, diluted earnings per share totaled $2.41 compared to $1.69 during the same period in 2024. Net earnings for the first nine months of 2025 totaled $14.0 million, compared to $9.7 million in the first nine months of 2024, or an increase of 44.4%, driven primarily by higher net interest income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the return on average assets was 1.18%, the return on average equity was 12.98%, and the efficiency ratio(1) was 62.5%.

    Third Quarter 2025 Performance Highlights

    • Annualized return on average assets was 1.21% and return on equity was 13.00% as compared to 1.00% and 11.82%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2024.
    • Average loan balances grew $26.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2025, while end of period loans were flat.
    • Net interest income increased $411,000, or 3.0%, in the third quarter of 2025, and increased $2.5 million, or 21.5%, from the same quarter of 2024. The net interest margin held steady at 3.83% in the third quarter of 2025 and remains healthy compared to peer banks.
    • Efficiency ratio improved to 60.7% as compared to both 62.8% in the prior quarter of 2025, and 66.5% in the third quarter of 2024.
    • Non-accrual loans declined $7.0 million in the third quarter of 2025, while net loan charge-offs totaled $2.3 million for the quarter. Both were impacted by the resolution of a single previously disclosed commercial loan.
    • Book value per share was $26.92 as of September 30, 2025, compared to $24.18 as of September 30, 2024. Tangible book value per share(1) was $20.96 as of September 30, 2025, an increase of $2.85 or 15.7% over the past twelve months.

    In making this announcement, Abby Wendel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Landmark, commented, "Landmark reported another solid quarter of earnings and increased profitability. Earnings this quarter were driven by growth in both net interest income and non-interest income. We continue to see good loan demand as average loans this quarter grew by $26.7 million, driving expansion of our net interest income. Solid growth in non-interest bearing deposits further strengthened our deposit base and helped sustain our attractive low-cost core deposit funding. Non-interest income increased 12.2% this quarter compared to the prior quarter and expenses were well controlled, leading to an improvement in our overall efficiency. We made significant progress this quarter improving our overall credit quality as nonperforming loans decreased $7.0 million. Our net loan charge-offs were $2.3 million for the quarter, the majority of which related to a single previously disclosed commercial loan. Our strong performance is a direct result of the hard work and commitment of our associates, whose efforts continue to elevate Landmark's position in the market. We are excited by the achievements of the quarter and look forward to building on this momentum."

    Landmark's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.21 per share, to be paid November 26, 2025, to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 12, 2025. The Board of Directors also declared a 5% stock dividend payable on December 15, 2025, to common shareholders of record on December 1, 2025. This is the 25th consecutive year that the Board has declared a 5% stock dividend.

    Net Interest Income

    Net interest income in the third quarter of 2025 totaled $14.1 million representing an increase of $411,000, or 3.0%, compared to the previous quarter and an increase of $2.5 million, or 21.5%, compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in net interest income this quarter was driven by higher interest income on loans, partially offset by higher interest expense on deposits. The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2025 was 3.83%, which was flat as compared to the prior quarter and increased 53 basis points from 3.30% during the third quarter of the prior year. Compared to the previous quarter, interest income on loans increased $597,000 to $17.8 million, due to higher average balances. Average loan balances increased $26.7 million from the prior quarter, while the average tax-equivalent yield on the loan portfolio remained flat at 6.37%. Interest on investment securities increased $34,000, or 1.2%, driven by higher yields despite slightly lower balances. Compared to the second quarter of 2025, interest on deposits increased $266,000, or 5.2%, due to higher rates and balances. Interest on other borrowed funds decreased $36,000 from the second quarter of 2025, due to lower average balances. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits increased four basis points from the prior quarter, to 2.18%, due to an increase in certificates of deposit. The average rate on other borrowed funds increased 11 basis points to 5.09% in the third quarter of 2025 driven by a decrease in lower cost repurchase agreements.

    Non-Interest Income

    Non-interest income totaled $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of $442,000 from the previous quarter. The increase in non-interest income during the third quarter of 2025 was primarily due to increases of $208,000 in gains on sales of residential mortgage loans and $184,000 in fees and service charges.

    Non-Interest Expense

    During the third quarter of 2025, non-interest expense totaled $11.3 million, an increase of $290,000, or 2.6%, compared to the prior quarter. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increases of $206,000 in professional fees, $120,000 in occupancy and equipment expense, and $70,000 in compensation and benefits expense, partially offset by a decrease of $153,000 in data processing expense. The increase in professional fees was driven by higher consulting costs.

    Income Tax Expense

    Landmark recorded income tax expense of $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $944,000 in the second quarter of 2025. The effective tax rate was 18.7% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 17.7% in the second quarter of 2025.

    Balance Sheet Highlights

    As of September 30, 2025, gross loans totaled $1.1 billion, largely consistent with the prior quarter, while average loans grew $26.7 million. During the quarter, loan growth was primarily comprised of commercial real estate (growth of $19.1 million), one-to-four family residential real estate (growth of $4.5 million), and consumer (growth of $1.4 million) loans, but offset by decreases in commercial (decline of $17.6 million) and construction and land (decline of $6.6 million) loans. Investment securities available-for-sale decreased $2.4 million during the third quarter of 2025 primarily due to maturities exceeding our level of purchases. Pre-tax unrealized net losses on the investment securities portfolio decreased from $13.9 million at June 30, 2025, to $9.2 million at September 30, 2025, primarily due to lower market rates for these securities at September 30, 2025.

    Period-end deposit balances increased $51.6 million to $1.3 billion at September 30, 2025. The increase in deposits was driven by increases in certificates of deposit (increase of $22.9 million), money market and checking accounts (increase of $16.5 million), and non-interest-bearing demand deposits (increase of $14.0 million). The increase in deposits was primarily driven by an increase in brokered deposits across several categories, as well as higher non-interest bearing core deposit balances at September 30, 2025. Total period-end borrowings decreased $69.0 million during the third quarter of 2025, while average balances declined $6.0 million. At September 30, 2025, the loan to deposits ratio was 83.4% compared to 86.6% in the prior quarter.

    Stockholders' equity increased to $155.7 million (book value of $26.92 per share) as of September 30, 2025, from $148.4 million (book value of $25.66 per share) as of June 30, 2025. The increase in stockholders' equity was primarily due to net earnings for the quarter, coupled with a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive losses (lower unrealized net losses on investment securities). The ratio of equity to total assets increased to 9.63% on September 30, 2025, from 9.13% on June 30, 2025.

    The allowance for credit losses totaled $12.3 million, or 1.10% of total gross loans, on September 30, 2025, compared to $13.8 million, or 1.23% of total gross loans, on June 30, 2025. Net loan charge-offs totaled $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $40,000 during the second quarter of 2025 and $9,000 in the third quarter of the prior year. The increase in net charge-offs during the third quarter was primarily related to the charge-off of a single commercial credit. A provision for credit losses on loans of $850,000 was recorded in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2025.

    Non-performing loans totaled $10.0 million, or 0.89% of gross loans, at September 30, 2025, compared to $17.0 million, or 1.52% of gross loans, at June 30, 2025. Loans 30-89 days delinquent totaled $4.9 million, or 0.43% of gross loans, as of September 30, 2025, compared to $4.3 million, or 0.39% of gross loans, as of June 30, 2025.
