Insights

Hawthorn delivered stronger Q3 2025 earnings, expanding margin and loans while staying well capitalized.

Hawthorn Bancshares produced $6.1 million net income in Q3 2025, up 34.1% year‑over‑year, with diluted EPS of $0.88 and an FTE net interest margin of 3.97%. Net interest income rose to $16.9 million for the quarter and loans held for investment increased by $51.1 million versus the prior quarter, showing tangible core earning growth driven by higher loan yields and lower deposit cost as stated.

The company remains prudently capitalized with total risk‑based capital of 14.90% and modest asset quality metrics: non‑performing assets to loans of 0.48% and allowance for credit losses of 1.45% of loans. Key near‑term risks disclosed include a single commercial relationship moved to non‑accrual that raised non‑performing assets this quarter and a higher provision for credit losses versus the prior quarter.

Watch the next two quarters for sequential trends in: loan growth and yields (loan balance and loan yield metrics), the allowance for credit losses relative to non‑performing loans, and quarterly provision and net charge‑off levels; also monitor announced dividend payment and remaining repurchase capacity through Q4 2025 and into the share repurchase program horizon where $8.7 million remained available as of September 30, 2025.

The Company maintains its “well capitalized” regulatory capital position. At September 30, 2025, capital ratios were as follows: total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets 14.90%; tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 13.65%; common equity tier 1 10.71%; tier 1 leverage 11.97%; and common equity to assets 8.54%.
