AUBURN, Ala., April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Auburn National Bancorporation, Inc. (Nasdaq: AUBN) reported net earnings of $1.5 million, or $0.44 per share, for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $1.6 million, or $0.45 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2024, and $1.4 million, or $0.39 per share, for the first quarter of 2024.

“Our first quarter results reflect strong credit quality and continued improvement in our net interest margin,” said David A. Hedges, President and CEO. “While loan demand has slowed, we remain optimistic that our net interest margin will continue to improve as loans and securities re-price. Once again, our capital and liquidity remain strong and we are well positioned to meet the needs of our customers,” continued Mr. Hedges.
        
Net interest income (tax-equivalent) was $7.1 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $7.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, and $6.7 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 was primarily due to improvements in our net interest margin, partially offset by a decrease in average interest earning assets of 1%. The increase compared to the first quarter of 2024 was primarily due to improvements in our net interest margin and an increase in average interest earning assets of 1%.

Net interest margin (tax-equivalent) was 3.20% in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 3.09% in the fourth quarter of 2024, and 3.04% in the first quarter of 2024. The increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 was primarily due to improvements in our yield on interest-earning assets and a decrease in our cost of interest-bearing deposits. The increase compared to the first quarter of 2024 was primarily due to a more favorable asset mix, and improvements in our yield on interest-earning assets, which outpaced increases in the cost of our interest-bearing deposits.

Nonperforming assets were $0.5 million, or 0.05% of total assets, at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, compared to $0.9 million, or 0.09% of total assets, at March 31, 2024.

The Company recorded a negative provision for credit losses of $(10) thousand in the first quarter of 2025, compared to a negative provision of $(48) thousand in the fourth quarter of 2024 and a charge to provision for credit losses of $334 thousand in the first quarter of 2024.

At March 31, 2025, the Company’s allowance for credit losses was $6.8 million, or 1.20% of total loans, compared to $6.9 million, or 1.22% of total loans, at December 31, 2024, and $7.2 million, or 1.27% of total loans, at March 31, 2024.

Noninterest income was $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $0.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, and $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2024. The decrease compared to both the fourth quarter and first quarter of 2024 was primarily due to decreases in mortgage lending income and other noninterest income.

Noninterest expense was $5.9 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $5.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, and $5.7 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2024 was primarily related to routine increases in salaries and benefits expense and an increase in net occupancy expense attributable to repairs and maintenance costs and seasonal fluctuations in utilities costs and parking revenue. The increase compared to the first quarter of 2024 was primarily related to routine increases in salaries and benefits expense.

The provision for income tax expense was $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to income tax expense of $0.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, and income tax expense of $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2024.

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2025 was 20.40%, compared to 34.73% for the fourth quarter of 2024 and 10.68% for the first quarter of 2024. Except for the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company’s effective income tax rate is principally affected by tax-exempt earnings from the Company’s investments in municipal securities and loans, bank-owned life insurance, and New Markets Tax Credits. The provision for income tax expense and the effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2024 included discrete tax items associated with provision to return adjustments in conjunction with the final 2023 tax return filing, which resulted in additional tax expense. Excluding these discrete items, the effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2024, would have been 21.55%.

Total assets were $996.8 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $977.3 million at December 31, 2024 and $979.0 million at March 31, 2024. Loans, net of unearned income were $560.7 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $564.0 million at December 31, 2024 and $567.5 million at March 31, 2024. The decrease is primarily due to payoffs in the commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loan portfolio segments exceeding growth in construction and land development loans. Total deposits were $910.5 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $895.8 million at December 31, 2024, and $899.7 million at March 31, 2024. The increase compared to both December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, was primarily related to growth in both noninterest and interest-bearing demand deposit account balances.

At March 31, 2025, the Company's consolidated stockholders' equity (book value) was $83.1 million or $23.79 per share, compared to $78.3 million, or $22.41 per share, at December 31, 2024, and $74.5 million, or $21.32 per share, at March 31, 2024. The increase from December 31, 2024 was primarily driven by other comprehensive income of $4.2 million due to a decrease in unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale, net of tax, plus net earnings of $1.5 million. These increases in stockholders’ equity were partially offset by cash dividends paid of $0.9 million. Unrealized losses on our securities portfolio vary with market interest rates and do not affect the Bank’s capital for regulatory capital purposes.

The Company’s tangible common equity (“TCE”) ratio or total equity to total assets ratio was 8.34% at March 31, 2025, compared to 8.01% at December 31, 2024, and 7.61% at March 31, 2024. All of the Company’s marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale. Therefore, any changes in the fair value of the Company’s securities portfolio are reflected in total equity, net of tax, under generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company paid cash dividends of $0.27 per share in the first quarter of 2025. At March 31, 2025, the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios were well above the minimum amounts required to be “well capitalized” under current regulatory standards.

Explanation of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The attached financial highlights include certain designated net interest income amounts presented on a tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP financial measure, and the presentation and calculation of the efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance and believes the presentation of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis provides comparability of net interest income from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and facilitates comparability within the industry. Similarly, the efficiency ratio is a common measure that facilitates comparability with other financial institutions. Although the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of its business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. Along with the attached financial highlights, the Company provides reconciliations between the GAAP financial measures and these non-GAAP financial measures.
