Insights

Landmark Bancorp's Q2 2024 results show mixed performance. While EPS increased to $0.55 from $0.51 in Q1, it's down from $0.61 in Q2 2023. The loan growth of 6.9% annualized is positive, driven by residential mortgage and construction loans. The net interest margin expanded by 9 basis points to 3.21%, which is encouraging in the current rate environment. However, the efficiency ratio of 67.9% indicates room for improvement in cost management. The stable credit quality with net loan recoveries and no provision for credit losses is a bright spot. The $0.21 dividend maintains shareholder returns. Overall, while there are positive trends, the year-over-year decline in earnings warrants caution.

Landmark's Q2 results reflect the challenges facing regional banks. The increase in interest expense on deposits (4.0% rise) highlights the pressure on net interest margins as banks compete for deposits. The loan-to-deposit ratio of 77.5% shows strong liquidity but also potential for improved asset utilization. The slight increase in non-performing loans to 0.51% of gross loans bears watching, although it's still at a manageable level. The valuation adjustment on a former branch facility impacted non-interest expenses, but core expenses decreased, showing cost control efforts. The bank's capital position remains solid with an equity-to-assets ratio of 8.22%. In this environment, Landmark's focus on loan growth and fee income is prudent, but margin pressure and potential credit quality shifts require vigilance.

Landmark's Q2 performance offers insights into regional banking trends. The growth in residential mortgage and construction loans suggests continued strength in the housing market, despite higher interest rates. The increase in fee-based income is a positive sign, indicating diversification of revenue streams. However, the decline in deposits, particularly in money market and checking accounts, may reflect increased competition for funds or customer rate-shopping. The bank's ability to grow its loan portfolio while maintaining credit quality is commendable in the current economic climate. The slight increase in unrealized losses on investment securities ($24.8 million) reflects ongoing interest rate sensitivity. Landmark's performance relative to peers will be important to watch, as regional banks navigate a complex macroeconomic environment with potential for further rate changes and economic uncertainty.

Declares Cash Dividend of $0.21 per Share

Manhattan, KS, Aug. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Landmark Bancorp, Inc. (“Landmark”; Nasdaq: LARK) reported diluted earnings per share of $0.55 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $0.51 per share in the first quarter of 2024 and $0.61 per share in the same quarter last year. Net earnings for the second quarter of 2024 amounted to $3.0 million, compared to $2.8 million in the prior quarter and $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2023. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the return on average assets was 0.78%, the return on average equity was 9.72%, and the efficiency ratio was 67.9%.

For the first six months of 2024, diluted earnings per share totaled $1.06 compared to $1.23 during the same period in 2023. Net earnings for the six months of 2024 totaled $5.8 million, compared to $6.7 million in the first six months of 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the return on average assets was 0.75%, the return on average equity was 9.30%, and the efficiency ratio was 70.0%.

In making this announcement, Abby Wendel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Landmark, said, “During the second quarter, we continued to see good growth in loans coupled with solid credit quality. Also, both our net interest income and our fee-based income grew nicely this quarter. During the second quarter 2024, non-interest expense grew by $544,000 but included a $979,000 valuation adjustment on a former branch facility that is currently under contract to be sold. Excluding these adjustments, non-interest expense would have declined by $306,000, or 2.9% from the prior quarter. This quarter total loans grew $16.5 million, or 6.9% annualized, driven mainly by strong growth in residential mortgage and construction loans. Additionally, net interest income grew 2.1%, to $11.0 million, as higher interest on loans exceeded interest costs on deposits and our net interest margin expanded by nine basis points and totaled 3.21%. Non-interest income also increased $320,000 over the prior quarter mainly due to higher fees and service charges along with higher gains on sales of mortgage loans. Excluding a decline in brokered deposits on the last day of the quarter, deposit balances were stable during the second quarter while average interest-bearing deposits increased slightly from the prior quarter.”

Ms. Wendel continued, “Loan credit quality remains excellent. Landmark recorded net loan recoveries of $52,000 in the second quarter of 2024 compared to net loan charge-offs of $7,000 in the first quarter of 2024 and $68,000 in the second quarter of 2023. The ratio of net loan charge-offs to loans remains low. No provision for credit losses was recorded in the second quarter 2024. Non-accrual loans totaled $5.0 million, or 0.51%, of gross loans at June 30, 2024 while the balance of loans past due 30 to 89 days totaled $1.9 million, or 0.19%, of gross loans at June 30, 2024. The allowance for credit losses totaled $10.9 million at June 30, 2024, or 1.11% of period end gross loans. At the end of the second quarter 2024 our equity to assets ratio grew to 8.22% while our loans to deposits ratio totaled 77.5% and reflects strong liquidity for future loan growth.”

Landmark’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.21 per share, to be paid September 4, 2024, to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 21, 2024.

SUMMARY OF SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Net earnings in the second quarter of 2024 increased 8.4% to $3.0 million compared to the first quarter 2024 but decreased $350,000 from the same period last year. As previously mentioned, the current quarter included a valuation adjustment on a former branch under a sales contract which after tax reduced net income by $739,000, or $0.14 per share. During the second quarter, loans grew 6.9% annualized, and both net interest income and non-interest income increased over the first quarter. Non-interest expense, excluding the valuation adjustment, declined and no provision for credit losses was taken.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income in the second quarter of 2024 amounted to $11.0 million representing an increase of $227,000, or 2.1%, compared to the previous quarter. The increase in net interest income was due mainly to growth in interest income on loans, but partially offset by higher interest expense on deposits. The net interest margin increased to 3.21% during the second quarter from 3.12% during the prior quarter. Compared to the previous quarter, interest income on loans increased $532,000, or 3.7%, to $15.0 million due to both higher average balances and rates. The average tax-equivalent yield on the loan portfolio increased 17 basis points to 6.33%. Interest expense on deposits increased $216,000, or 4.0%, in the second quarter 2024, compared to the prior quarter, mainly due to higher rates on interest-bearing deposits. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits increased in the second quarter to 2.44% compared to 2.35% in the prior quarter. Interest on borrowed funds declined slightly due to a small decline in average balances.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income totaled $3.7 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $320,000, or 9.4%, from the previous quarter. The increase in non-interest income compared to the first quarter of 2024 was primarily the result of increases of $230,000 in fees and service charges and $136,000 in gains on sales of one-to-four family residential real estate loans.

Non-Interest Expense

During the second quarter of 2024, non-interest expense totaled $11.1 million, an increase of $544,000, or 5.2%, compared to the prior quarter. As mentioned above, the increase in non-interest expense this quarter was primarily related to a valuation allowance of $979,000 recorded on a former branch facility that is currently under contract to be sold. A valuation allowance of $129,000 on this facility was also recorded in the first quarter of 2024. Excluding these valuation allowances, non-interest expense totaled $10.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $10.4 million in the first quarter of 2024, a decline of $306,000, or 2.9%. Compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment and amortization of mortgage servicing rights and other intangibles were all lower this quarter.

Income Tax Expense

Landmark recorded income tax expense of $587,000 in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $518,000 in the prior quarter. The effective tax rate was 16.3% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 15.7% in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to higher earnings before taxes as tax-exempt income was consistent between the periods.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of June 30, 2024, gross loans totaled $980.6 million, an increase of $16.5 million, or 6.9% annualized since March 31, 2024. During the quarter, loan growth was primarily comprised of one-to-four family residential real estate (growth of $19.3 million) and construction and land (growth of $5.7 million) loans. The increase in one-to-four family residential real estate loans is primarily related to continued demand for adjustable-rate mortgage loans which are retained in our portfolio. Investment securities decreased $16.8 million during the second quarter of 2024, while pre-tax unrealized net losses on these investment securities increased slightly from $24.4 million at March 31, 2024 to $24.8 million at June 30, 2024.

Period end deposit balances decreased $43.0 million to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2024. The decrease in deposits was mainly driven by declines in money market and checking (decrease of $36.9 million) non-interest-bearing demand (decrease of $3.8 million) and savings (decrease of $3.0 million) in the second quarter. The decrease in money market and checking accounts was mainly driven by a decline in brokered deposits on the last day of the quarter. Average interest-bearing deposits increased slightly this quarter compared to the first quarter. Total borrowings increased $49.5 million during the second quarter 2024. The increase was due to increased borrowing on our FHLB line of credit which was primarily related to the decline in brokered deposits. Average borrowings, including FHLB advances and repurchase agreements decreased $2.6 million this quarter compared to the first quarter. At June 30, 2024, the loan to deposits ratio was 77.5% compared to 73.6% in the prior quarter.

Stockholders’ equity increased to $128.3 million (book value of $23.45 per share) as of June 30, 2024, from $126.7 million (book value of $23.14 per share) as of March 31, 2024. The ratio of equity to total assets increased to 8.22% on June 30, 2024, from 8.16% on March 31, 2024.

The allowance for credit losses totaled $10.9 million, or 1.11% of total gross loans on June 30, 2024, compared to $10.9 million, or 1.13% of total gross loans on March 31, 2024. Net loan recoveries totaled $52,000 in the second quarter of 2024, compared to net loan charge-offs of $7,000 during the first quarter of 2024. No provision for credit losses was recorded in the second quarter of 2024 compared to a provision for credit losses of $300,000 in the first quarter of 2024.

Non-performing loans totaled $5.0 million, or 0.51% of gross loans at June 30, 2024 compared to $3.6 million, or 0.38% of gross loans at March 31, 2024. Loans 30-89 days delinquent totaled $1.9 million, or 0.19% of gross loans, as of June 30, 2024, compared to $3.9 million, or 0.42% of gross loans, as of March 31, 2024. Foreclosed real estate owned totaled $428,000 at June 30, 2024.
