Manhattan, KS, Oct. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Landmark Bancorp, Inc. (“Landmark”; Nasdaq: LARK) reported diluted earnings per share of $0.55 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $0.64 per share in the second quarter of 2023 and $0.48 per share in the same quarter last year. Net earnings for the third quarter of 2023 amounted to $2.9 million, compared to $3.4 million in the prior quarter and $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2022. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the return on average assets was 0.74%, the return on average equity was 9.87%, and the efficiency ratio was 73.8%.

For the first nine months of 2023, diluted earnings per share totaled $1.84 compared to $1.65 during the same period in 2022. Net earnings for the first nine months of 2023 totaled $9.6 million, compared to $8.7 million in the first nine months of 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the return on average assets was 0.84% and the return on average equity was 11.13%.

In making this announcement, Michael E. Scheopner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Landmark, said, “In the third quarter we continued to see good growth in loans coupled with solid credit results. Compared to the second quarter of 2023, total gross loans increased by $44.2 million, or 19.6% on an annualized basis mainly due to growth in residential mortgage, commercial real estate, and commercial loans. Deposits also increased $27.1 million during the third quarter of 2023 due to growth in non-interest demand deposits and an increase in certificates of deposit. Our loan to deposit ratio totaled 70.8% in the third quarter and remained relatively low reflecting ample liquidity for future loan growth. Net interest income this quarter totaled $10.6 million and declined slightly from the prior quarter, as growth in interest income on loans was offset by increased interest costs on deposits and other borrowings. Our net interest margin totaled 3.06% during the third quarter of 2023 as compared to 3.21% in the prior quarter and the third quarter last year. Non-interest income decreased $177,000 compared to the second quarter of 2023 mainly due to lower gains on sales of residential mortgage loans as more home buyers utilized our adjustable-rate mortgage loan products which are retained on our balance sheet.”

Mr. Scheopner continued, “Within our loan portfolio, credit quality remains strong. Landmark recorded net loan recoveries of $521,000 in the third quarter of 2023 compared to net loan recoveries of $43,000 in the third quarter of 2022 and net loan charge-offs of $68,000 in the second quarter of 2023. Non-accrual loans totaled $4.4 million, or 0.47%, of gross loans at September 30, 2023 and increased $1.7 million from the prior quarter. The increase in non-accrual loans during the third quarter of 2023 was principally associated with a $1.5 million lending relationship. The allowance for credit losses totaled $11.0 million at September 30, 2023, or 1.17% of period end gross loans, while our equity to assets ratio totaled 7.03%.”

Landmark’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.21 per share, to be paid November 29, 2023, to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 15, 2023. The Board of Directors also declared a 5% stock dividend payable on December 15, 2023, to common stockholders of record on December 1, 2023. This is the 23rd consecutive year that the Board has declared a 5% stock dividend.

SUMMARY OF THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income in the third quarter of 2023 amounted to $10.6 million representing a decrease of $207,000, or 1.9%, compared to the previous quarter. This decrease in net interest income was due mainly to higher interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds but partly offset by growth in interest income on loans. The net interest margin totaled 3.06% during the third quarter compared to 3.21% in the prior quarter. Compared to the previous quarter, interest income on loans increased $908,000, or 7.2%, to $13.5 million due to both higher rates and balances while the average tax-equivalent yield on the loan portfolio increased 13 basis points to 5.93%. Interest income on investment securities increased slightly due to increases in rates but partly offset by lower balances. The average tax-equivalent yield on investment securities totaled 2.77% in the third quarter compared to 2.70% in the prior quarter.

Interest expense on deposits increased $932,000 in the third quarter 2023, compared to the prior quarter, mainly due to higher rates and average balances on interest-bearing deposits. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits increased in the third quarter to 1.93% compared to 1.57% in the prior quarter. Interest expense on total borrowed funds grew $243,000, compared to the prior quarter, as the average rate paid increased 55 basis points to 5.60% and average balances grew $10.7 million.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income totaled $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2023, an increase of $123,000, or 3.5%, compared to the same period last year and a decrease of $177,000, or 4.6%, from the previous quarter. The increase in non-interest income during the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to recording a $353,000 loss on the sale of lower yielding investment securities in the third quarter of 2022 as well as increases of $180,000 in other non-interest income, $107,000 in fees and services charges and $41,000 in bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) income. The increase in other non-interest income was primarily related to an increase in rental income associated with a branch which was vacant in the prior year period. The increases in fees and services charges and BOLI income were primarily associated with the acquisition of Freedom Bank in the fourth quarter of 2022, as the acquisition increased Landmark’s deposit base and BOLI assets. Gains on sales of one-to-four family residential real estate loans declined $558,000 from the same period last year due to lower fixed rate mortgage loan originations. Compared to the prior quarter, the decrease in non-interest income was primarily due to a decline in gains on sales of one-to-four family residential real estate loans.

Non-Interest Expense

During the third quarter of 2023, non-interest expense totaled $10.7 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 13.4%, over the same period in 2022 and an increase of $380,000, or 3.7%, compared to the prior quarter. Compared to the same period last year, higher costs this year for compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing and other non-interest expenses were primarily due to higher operating costs associated with the Freedom Bank acquisition, while amortization expense increased $160,000 in the third quarter primarily due to the core deposit intangible recorded for this acquisition. The increase in non-interest expense compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to higher compensation and benefit costs mainly associated with increased adjustable-rate mortgage loan production. Also the increase in other non-interest expense was related to higher FDIC insurance premiums and other insurance costs.

Income Tax Expense

Landmark recorded income tax expense of $671,000 in the third quarter of 2023 compared to income tax expense of $522,000 in the third quarter of 2022 and $701,000 in the second quarter of 2023. The effective tax rate was 18.9% in the third quarter of 2023 compared to 17.3% in the third quarter of 2022 and 17.3% in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in our effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2023 was primarily related to losses recorded at our captive insurance subsidiary which are not deductible for income taxes.

Liquidity Highlights

In addition to local retail, commercial and public fund deposits, the Company has access to multiple sources of brokered deposits that can be utilized for liquidity. Landmark also has diverse sources of liquidity available through both secured and unsecured borrowing lines of credit. At September 30, 2023, Landmark had collateral pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) that would allow for an additional $128.4 million of FHLB borrowings. Additionally, investment securities were pledged to the Federal Reserve discount window that provides borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve of $57.2 million. Landmark also had various other federal funds agreements, both secured and unsecured with correspondent banks totaling approximately $30.0 million in available credit at September 30, 2023.

As of September 30, 2023, Landmark had unpledged available-for-sale investment securities with a fair value of $62.6 million as well as approximately $108.7 million of pledged investment securities in excess of required levels. The average life of the Company’s investment portfolio is approximately 4.7 years and is projected to generate cash flow through maturities of $67.6 million over the next 12 months.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of September 30, 2023, gross loans totaled $937.4 million, an increase of $44.2 million, or 19.6% annualized since June 30, 2023. During the quarter, loan growth was primarily comprised of one-to-four family residential real estate (growth of $29.9 million), commercial real estate (growth of $8.5 million) and commercial (growth of $4.4 million). The increase in one-to-four family residential real estate loans is primarily related to continued demand in adjustable-rate mortgage loans which are retained in our portfolio. Investment securities decreased $27.5 million, during the third quarter of 2023, while gross unrealized net losses on these investment securities increased from $30.0 million at June 30, 2023 to $42.8 million at September 30, 2023.

Deposit balances increased $27.1 million, or 8.4% on an annualized basis, to $1.3 billion at September 30, 2023. The increase in deposits was mainly driven by increases in non-interest demand (increase of $12.6 million) and certificate of deposit accounts (increase of $37.6 million) in the third quarter which was partially offset by lower money market, interest checking and savings accounts, which decreased in total by $23.1 million. Total borrowings, including FHLB advances and repurchase agreements decreased $3.3 million this quarter. At September 30, 2023, the loan to deposits ratio was 70.8% compared to 68.9% in the prior quarter and 62.9% in the same period last year.

Total deposits include estimated uninsured deposits of $202.8 million and $193.1 million as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively. This represents approximately 16% of total deposits at September 30, 2023 and compares favorably with other similar community banking organizations. Over 94% of Landmark’s total deposits were considered core deposits at September 30, 2023. These deposit balances are from retail, commercial and public fund customers located in the markets where the Company has bank branch locations. Brokered deposits are considered non-core and totaled $72.4 million at September 30, 2023 compared to $41.2 million at June 30, 2023 and are utilized as an additional source of liquidity.

Stockholders’ equity decreased to $109.6 million (book value of $20.98 per share) as of September 30, 2023, from $117.4 million (book value of $22.50 per share) as of June 30, 2023, due to an increase in other comprehensive losses during the third quarter of 2023 related to higher market interest rates which increased the unrealized losses on the Company’s investment securities portfolio. The ratio of equity to total assets decreased to 7.03% on September 30, 2023, from 7.62% on June 30, 2023.

The allowance for credit losses totaled $11.0 million, or 1.17% of total gross loans on September 30, 2023, compared to $10.4 million, or 1.17% of total gross loans on June 30, 2023. Net loan recoveries totaled $521,000 in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $43,000 during the same quarter last year and net loan charge-offs of $68,000 during the second quarter of 2023. The ratio of annualized net loan recoveries to total average loans was 0.23% in the third quarter of 2023 and 0.02% in the third quarter of 2022, while the ratio of annualized net loan charge-offs to total average loans was 0.03% in the second quarter of 2023. The net loan recoveries in the third quarter of 2023 included $626,000 related to a construction loan previously charged-off in 2011. No provision for credit losses was recorded in the third quarter of 2023 as the net loan recoveries offset the growth in the loan portfolio. A provision for credit losses of $250,000 was made in the second quarter of 2023 and a provision for credit losses of $500,000 was made in the third quarter of 2022, as credit models factored in growth in our overall loan portfolio during these quarters.

Non-performing loans totaled $4.4 million, or 0.47% of gross loans, while loans 30-89 days delinquent totaled $6.2 million, or 0.66% of gross loans, as of September 30, 2023. The increase in non-accrual loans during the third quarter of 2023 was principally associated with one commercial lending relationship which was classified as non-accrual as of September 30, 2023. The increase in delinquent loans was primarily due to two loan relationships which have returned to performing status subsequent to September 30, 2023. Real estate owned totaled $0.9 million at September 30, 2023.
