Insights

LINKBANCORP delivered stable core earnings with strong loan growth and improving credit quality despite lower net interest margin.

LINKBANCORP reported $7.4 million in Q2 2025 net income ($0.20 per diluted share), maintaining stable core performance despite appearing lower than Q1's $15.3 million which included an $11.1 million one-time gain from a branch sale. On an adjusted basis excluding one-time items, earnings remained consistent at $7.4 million quarter-over-quarter.

The bank demonstrated impressive loan growth of $82.7 million in Q2 (14.58% annualized), significantly outpacing deposit growth of $22.7 million (3.74% annualized). This growth differential suggests strong lending demand but potentially increasing funding pressure.

Net interest margin contracted to 3.80% from 3.94% in Q1, primarily due to reduced purchase accounting accretion ($922,000 less than Q1) and slight increase in funding costs to 2.31%. This margin compression warrants attention as it impacts the core earnings engine.

Credit quality showed notable improvement with non-performing assets declining by $4.2 million to $21.9 million (0.76% of total assets versus 0.91% in Q1). The successful resolution of problem loans strengthened the allowance for credit losses to non-performing assets ratio to 112.68%, indicating enhanced loss absorption capacity.

Expense management was effective with adjusted noninterest expense decreasing by $697,000 quarter-over-quarter, improving the adjusted efficiency ratio to 64.73% from 66.96%. This disciplined approach to costs helps offset the pressure from margin compression.

The balance sheet remains well-capitalized with tangible book value per share increasing to $5.92 from $5.80 in Q1 and $5.07 a year ago, representing 17% year-over-year growth. The dividend declaration of $0.075 per share (1.5% yield at typical regional bank valuations) demonstrates management's confidence in sustainable earnings.

The key challenge ahead is managing the funding mix as the bank reduced brokered deposits by $28.6 million to $75 million while maintaining strong core deposit growth. The bank's core deposit growth of 10.1% annualized (excluding brokered deposits) represents a competitive advantage in the current environment.

HARRISBURG, Pa., July 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LINKBANCORP, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNKB) (the "Company"), the parent company of LINKBANK (the "Bank"), reported net income of $7.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to net income of $15.3 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.  Excluding the sale of branches, merger and restructuring related income and expenses, adjusted earnings were $7.4 million1, or $0.201 per diluted share for both the first and second quarter of 2025.

Additionally, the Company announced that the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per share of common stock which is expected to be paid on September 15, 2025 to shareholders of record on August 29, 2025.

Second Quarter 2025 Highlights

  • Stable, strong core earnings. Annualized return on average assets was 1.05% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 2.19% for the first quarter of 2025 and 0.84% for the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted return on average assets was 1.05%1 for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 1.05%1 for the first quarter of 2025 and 0.91%1 for the second quarter of 2024.

  • Robust balance sheet growth. Total loans at June 30, 2025 were $2.36 billion, compared to $2.27 billion at March 31, 2025 and $2.35 billion at December 31, 2024, representing a quarterly increase of $82.7 million or 14.58% annualized and a year-to-date increase of $107.0 million2 or 9.19% annualized excluding the impact of the sale of banking operations and branches in New Jersey, including related loans and deposits (the "Branch Sale"). Total deposits at June 30, 2025 were $2.46 billion compared to $2.43 billion at March 31, 2025 and $2.45 billion at December 31, 2024, representing a quarterly increase of $22.7 million, or 3.74% annualized and a year-to-date increase of $89.36 million2 or 7.34% excluding the impact of the Branch Sale.
  • Improving credit quality.

This decrease was driven by resolutions to several loan relationships including a purchased credit deteriorated loan that was resolved at an amount greater than its purchase date fair value. The successful resolutions have decreased specific reserve needs by $2.5 million while enhancing the ratio of the allowance for credit losses-loans to nonperforming assets to 112.68% at June 30, 2025, compared to 102.22% at March 31, 2025.

The Company's adjusted efficiency ratio improved to 64.73%1 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to 66.96%1 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

"We are pleased to report another quarter of strong core earnings, combined with exceptional loan and deposit growth throughout our entire footprint," said Andrew Samuel, Chief Executive Officer of LINKBANCORP. "We remain focused on improving operating efficiency and expanding noninterest income to support our core business and enabling us to deliver sustainable long-term value to our shareholders."

Income Statement
Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2025 was $24.9 million compared to $25.8 million in the first quarter of 2025 and $24.5 million for the second quarter of 2024. Net interest margin was 3.80% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 3.94% for the first quarter of 2025. Net interest income was impacted by a linked quarter decline in purchase accounting accretion, together with a decrease in the average balances of loans and deposits due to the March 31, 2025 completion of the Branch Sale.  Interest income from purchase accounting accretion during the current quarter was approximately $922 thousand less than that recognized in the first quarter of 2025. Cost of funds increased to 2.31% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 2.29% for the first quarter of 2025, reflecting the lower cost of deposits included in the Branch Sale as well as continued competition for deposits in the Bank's markets.   

Noninterest income decreased quarter-over-quarter to $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $13.3 million for the first quarter of 2025 due to the $11.1 million pre-tax gain from the Branch Sale in the first quarter.  Excluding the gain on sale of the New Jersey branches, noninterest income grew by $769 thousand quarter-over-quarter, including increases in swap fee income and interchange income.  Year-over-year, noninterest income increased $1.1 million from $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2024.

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2025 was $18.1 million compared to $19.7 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $18.9 million for the second quarter of 2024.  Excluding non-core operating costs totaling $16 thousand in the second quarter of 2025, $912 thousand in the first quarter of 2025 and $631 thousand in the second quarter of 2024, adjusted noninterest expense decreased $697 thousand1 from $18.7 million1 for the first quarter of 2025 to $18.0 million1 for the second quarter of 2025 while decreasing $220 thousand1 year-over-year from $18.3 million1 for the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2025 excludes expenses related to the reduction of the size of the Board of Directors included in other noninterest expense, as well as bonus accruals related to the completion of the Branch Sale included in salaries and employee benefits expense, and other merger and restructuring costs. 

Income tax expense was $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2025, reflecting an effective tax rate of 22.0% compared to $3.9 million for the first quarter of 2025, reflecting an effective tax rate of 20.1% and $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, reflecting an effective tax rate of 22.0%, respectively. The tax rate increased quarter-over-quarter due to a state income tax apportionment adjustment in the first quarter of 2025.

Asset Quality
The Company recorded a $344 thousand provision for credit losses during the second quarter of 2025, after recording a $228 thousand provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in provision was primarily related to commercial loan growth during the second quarter of 2025.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company's non-performing assets declined by $4.2 million to $21.9 million, representing 0.76% of total assets, compared to $26.0 million, representing 0.91% of total assets at March 31, 2025. This improvement was driven largely by the favorable resolution of a purchased credit deteriorated (PCD) loan above its purchase date fair value.

Loans 30-89 days past due at June 30, 2025 were $14.5 million, representing 0.62% of total loans compared to $12.7 million or 0.56% of total loans at March 31, 2025 and $2.9 million or 0.13% of total loans at December 31, 2024.

The ratio of the allowance for credit losses for loans to nonperforming assets increased to 112.68% at June 30, 2025, compared to 102.22% at March 31, 2025.

Net charge-offs continue to improve as the Company recorded $40 thousand in net charge-offs during the second quarter of 2025 compared to $81 thousand for the first quarter of 2025 and $252 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2024.

(1) - These capital ratios have been calculated using bank-level capital

(2) - This is a non-GAAP financial measure. See our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.

(3) - The efficiency ratio, as adjusted represents noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, excluding gains or losses from securities sales and merger related expenses. This is a non-GAAP financial measure. See our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.

(4) - We calculate tangible common equity as total shareholders' equity less goodwill and other intangibles, and we calculate tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and other intangibles. This is a non-GAAP financial measure. See our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.

(5) - We calculate tangible book value per common share as total shareholders' equity less goodwill and other intangibles, divided by the outstanding number of shares of our common stock at the end of the relevant period. Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure, and, as we calculate tangible book value per common share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is book value per common share.  See our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.

(6) - Charge offs for the three months ended June 30, 2025 do not include the impact of a settlement of a purchase credit deteriorated loan ("PCD") that resulted in a net decrease to the allowance of $2.0 million, which was covered by a specific reserve established on this PCD loan at the time of acquisition.

Appendix A – Reconciliation to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document contains supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company's performance. These measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures nor should they be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. Management believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of specified items provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the Company's financial condition and results. Non-GAAP measures are not formally defined under GAAP, and other entities may use calculation methods that differ from those used by us. As a complement to GAAP financial measures, our management believes these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in comparing the financial condition and results of operations of financial institutions due to the industry prevalence of such non-GAAP measures. See the tables below for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
