NEWARK, Ohio, July 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Park National Corporation (Park) (NYSE:PRK) today reported financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2025.

"Their commitment to serving our customers and communities with integrity and care continues to set us apart. We remain focused on navigating change, serving our customers and delivering long-term value for our shareholders."

Park's net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $48.1 million, a 22.2 percent increase from $39.4 million for the second quarter of 2024. Second quarter of 2025 net income per diluted common share was $2.97, compared to $2.42 for the second quarter of 2024.

Park's total loans increased 1.9 percent (3.8 percent annualized) during the first half of 2025 and increased 3.9 percent for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2025.

Park's reported period end deposits increased 1.2 percent (2.3 percent annualized) during the first half of 2025, with an increase of 2.8 percent (5.7 percent annualized), including deposits that Park moved off balance sheet as of June 30, 2025.
