Insights

Hawthorn's Q2 shows impressive 31.8% YoY profit growth with improved efficiency ratio and stable credit quality despite modest balance sheet contraction.

Hawthorn Bancshares delivered strong second quarter results with net income of $6.1 million ($0.88 per diluted share), representing a substantial 31.8% improvement over the same period last year. The bank's efficiency ratio improved to 62.32% from 66.24% year-over-year, indicating better operational cost control.

The bank's net interest margin showed meaningful expansion to 3.89%, up from 3.67% in Q1 2025 and 3.33% a year ago. This margin improvement occurred despite the challenging interest rate environment, driven by higher earning asset yields (5.98% on loans) and lower deposit costs (2.35%, down from 2.69% a year ago).

From a balance sheet perspective, Hawthorn experienced modest contraction with loans decreasing 0.5% quarterly and 2.4% annualized from last year. Deposits similarly decreased by 1.7% from the prior quarter. This suggests the bank is focusing on profitability over growth in the current environment.

Credit quality metrics remain strong and stable with non-performing assets to total loans at 0.35%, improving from 0.54% a year ago. The allowance for credit losses stands at 1.47% of outstanding loans, providing robust coverage at 781.24% of non-performing loans.

Capital ratios demonstrate Hawthorn's solid financial foundation with total risk-based capital of 15.12% and a tangible book value per share of $22.53, representing impressive 14.3% growth year-over-year. The bank maintained its quarterly dividend at $0.20 per share and has $9.0 million remaining in its share repurchase authorization after buying back 79,777 shares at an average cost of $27.62 in the first half of 2025.

The return metrics are particularly noteworthy with return on average assets at 1.36% and return on average equity at 15.85%, reflecting significant improvement in profitability despite the challenging banking environment. This performance suggests management's strategic focus on margin improvement and expense control is yielding positive results.
