Operating Results
Net revenue, consisting of net interest income and noninterest income, was
The net interest margin was 3.41 percent in the fourth quarter of 2024, down from 3.92 percent in the prior-year fourth quarter. The yield on average earning assets was 5.81 percent during the current-year fourth quarter, a decrease from 5.95 percent during the respective 2023 period. The lower yield primarily resulted from a decreased yield on loans and a change in earning asset mix. The yield on loans was 6.41 percent during the fourth quarter of 2024, down from 6.53 percent during the fourth quarter of 2023 mainly due to lower interest rates on variable-rate commercial loans resulting from the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") lowering the targeted federal funds rate. The FOMC decreased the targeted federal funds rate by 50 basis points in September of 2024 and 25 basis points in each of November and December of 2024, during which time average variable-rate commercial loans represented approximately 73 percent of average total commercial loans. Reflecting the success of a strategic initiative to increase on-balance sheet liquidity, higher-yielding loans represented a reduced percentage of earning assets and lower-yielding securities and interest-earning deposits accounted for an increased percentage of earning assets in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.
The cost of funds was 2.40 percent in the fourth quarter of 2024, up from 2.03 percent in the fourth quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher costs of deposits and borrowed funds, reflecting the impact of the rising interest rate environment stemming from the FOMC's actions to curb elevated inflation levels. A change in funding mix, mainly comprising of a decline in average noninterest-bearing and lower-cost deposits and an increase in average higher-cost money market accounts and time deposits, also contributed to the higher cost of funds. The growth in money market accounts and time deposits reflected new deposit relationships, increases in existing deposit relationships, and deposit migration.
Net revenue was
The net interest margin was 3.58 percent in 2024, down from 4.05 percent in 2023. The yield on average earning assets was 6.02 percent during 2024, an increase from 5.68 percent during the prior year. The higher yield on average earning assets mainly resulted from an increased yield on loans. The yield on loans was 6.61 percent during 2024, up from 6.25 percent during 2023 primarily due to higher interest rates on variable-rate commercial loans stemming from the FOMC raising the targeted federal funds rate in an effort to reduce elevated inflation levels and a significant level of commercial loans being originated over the past 24 months in the higher interest rate environment. The FOMC increased the targeted federal funds rate by 100 basis points during the period of February 2023 through July 2023, during which time average variable-rate commercial loans represented approximately 65 percent of average total commercial loans. The positive impact of the rate hikes was partially mitigated by the FOMC's lowering of the targeted federal funds rate by 100 basis points during the last four months of 2024.
The cost of funds was 2.44 percent in 2024, up from 1.63 percent in 2023 primarily due to higher costs of deposits and borrowed funds, reflecting the impact of the rising interest rate environment. A change in funding mix, mainly consisting of a decrease in average noninterest-bearing and lower-cost deposits and an increase in average higher-cost money market accounts and time deposits, also contributed to the higher cost of funds. The increases in money market accounts and time deposits stemmed from new deposit relationships, growth in existing deposit relationships, and deposit migration.

Mr. Reitsma commented, "The significant growth in mortgage banking income during the 2024 periods mainly reflected the successful execution of a strategic initiative to increase the percentage of loans originated with the intent to sell and notable growth in loan production. We are pleased with the increases in treasury management fees and payroll services income, which primarily resulted from customers' expanded use of products and services. Our net interest margin, although falling as anticipated due to higher costs of deposits and borrowings, a change in funding mix, and a change in earning asset mix reflecting our success in lowering the loan-to-deposit ratio and increasing on-balance sheet liquidity, remained healthy during 2024. Growth in earning assets largely offset the negative impact of the reduced net interest margin, providing for only a slight decline in net interest income. Overhead cost constraint remains an important priority, and we will continue our efforts to enhance operating efficiency while expanding the balance sheet and continuing to provide our customers with extraordinary service and a wide selection of market-leading products and services to meet their needs."
Balance Sheet
As of December 31, 2024, total assets were
As of December 31, 2024, unfunded commitments on commercial construction and development loans, which are expected to be funded over the next 12 to 18 months, and residential construction loans, which are expected to be largely funded over the next 12 months, totaled
Mr. Reitsma noted, "The solid growth in commercial loans during 2024, which occurred despite elevated levels of partial paydowns and payoffs, stemmed from a mixture of expanded existing client relationships and acquired new customer relationships. The growth in commercial loans, local deposits, treasury management fees, and payroll services income reflects our sales team's success in further developing current client relationships and securing the complete banking relationships of new customers. We believe commercial loan originations will be robust in future periods based on the strength of our current pipeline and the level of credit availability on construction and development loans. Growing the local deposit base will continue to be a key area of focus as we continue our efforts to reduce our loan-to-deposit ratio and limit the use of wholesale funds as a funding source for projected loan growth."
Commercial and industrial loans and owner-occupied commercial real estate loans together represented approximately 55 percent of total commercial loans as of December 31, 2024, a level that has remained relatively consistent with prior periods and in line with our expectations.
Total deposits as of December 31, 2024, were
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets totaled
Mr. Reitsma remarked, "Our asset quality metrics remained strong during 2024, reflecting our steadfast commitment to underwriting loans in a sound and disciplined manner, along with our commercial borrowers' demonstrated abilities to effectively operate during periods of shifting economic and operating conditions. Nonperforming assets, past due loans, and loan charge-offs remain at low levels. We believe our robust loan review program and intense focus on the early identification and reporting of deteriorating commercial loan relationships will allow us to detect any emerging credit issues and constrain the impact of such on our overall financial condition. As reflected by ongoing low delinquency and charge-off levels, our residential mortgage and consumer loan portfolios continue to perform well."
Capital Position
Shareholders' equity totaled
All of Mercantile Bank's investments are categorized as available-for-sale. As of December 31, 2024, the net unrealized loss on these investments totaled
Mercantile reported 16,146,374 total shares outstanding at December 31, 2024.
Mr. Reitsma concluded, "As demonstrated by our Board of Directors' declaration of an increased first quarter 2025 regular cash dividend, we remain committed to building shareholder value through meaningful cash returns while providing support for ongoing loan growth. Our robust capital position and operating results, combined with expected commercial loan portfolio expansion, should enable us to effectively address any issues resulting from changing economic environments. As evidenced by the notable increases in commercial loans and local deposits during 2024, our community banking philosophy and associated focus on fostering mutually beneficial relationships have been successful in maintaining existing customer relationships and acquiring new customer relationships."
