Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Farmers National Banc Corp. reported stronger first quarter 2026 results as it closed the Middlefield Banc Corp. acquisition and expanded in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Net income was $16.3 million, up from $13.6 million a year earlier, while diluted earnings per share held at $0.36. Excluding $4.0 million of acquisition and core conversion costs, adjusted net income rose to $20.0 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, reflecting higher core profitability.

Total assets climbed to $7.18 billion at March 31, 2026 from $5.25 billion at year-end 2025, with Middlefield contributing $1.82 billion of assets, $1.49 billion of loans and $1.49 billion of deposits. Net interest income increased to $42.6 million and the net interest margin improved to 3.12%, helped by higher asset yields and lower funding costs.

Credit quality remained controlled, though nonperforming loans rose to $59.9 million, or 1.25% of total loans, mainly from the acquired portfolio. Farmers posted a 1.11% return on average assets and 11.55% return on average equity, and management expects further net interest margin expansion in the second quarter of 2026 as Middlefield synergies are realized.

Insights

Middlefield deal drives scale and margins, with solid underlying profitability.

Farmers National shows a larger balance sheet and better earnings power in Q1 2026. Assets rose to $7.18B, loans to $4.80B, and deposits to $5.92B, largely from the Middlefield acquisition. Net income reached $16.3M, with adjusted earnings of $20.0M after backing out $3.98M in deal and conversion costs.

Profitability metrics are healthy: net interest income increased to $42.6M, the net interest margin widened to 3.12%, and adjusted return on average assets was 1.37%. Management also cites an expected further net interest margin expansion of about 25 basis points in Q2 2026 as full Middlefield impacts flow through.

Credit remains manageable but bears watching, with nonperforming loans rising to $59.9M or 1.25% of total loans due to acquired credits. The allowance for credit losses covers 1.14% of loans, and annualized net charge-offs are low at 0.05%. Future filings will show how integration costs taper, whether margin expansion materializes, and how asset quality trends evolve in the combined portfolio.

net interest margin financial
"The net interest margin improved to 3.12% in the first quarter of 2026"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
CECL model financial
"The provision in the first quarter of 2026 was positively impacted by improvements in qualitative factors in the Company’s CECL model."
The CECL model (Current Expected Credit Loss) is an accounting approach that requires lenders and other companies holding loans or receivables to estimate and record expected credit losses up front, based on reasonable forecasts of future conditions. For investors, CECL matters because it changes when and how much loss is recognized, which can make earnings and capital cushions swing earlier and more sharply—think of it as setting aside money now because a weather forecast predicts future storms.
tangible common equity ratio financial
"This press release includes disclosures of Farmers’ tangible common equity ratio, return on average tangible assets, return on average tangible equity"
Tangible common equity ratio measures how much real, loss-absorbing capital common shareholders have relative to a company's tangible assets—calculated by removing intangible items (like goodwill) and preferred equity from total equity and comparing that net amount to tangible assets. Think of it as the thickness of a safety cushion made of solid, visible value rather than accounting entries; investors use it to judge how well a company could withstand losses and protect common shareholders' claims.
nonperforming loans financial
"Non-performing loans increased from $26.2 million at December 31, 2025, to $59.9 million at March 31, 2026."
Nonperforming loans are loans on which borrowers have stopped making the scheduled interest or principal payments for an extended period (commonly 90 days or more) or are otherwise in serious danger of default. Think of them as IOUs that aren’t being repaid: they tie up a lender’s money, reduce future interest income, and force the lender to hold extra reserves or take losses. For investors, a rising share of nonperforming loans signals weakening credit quality, higher potential losses, and greater risk to a bank’s profitability and capital.
efficiency ratio financial
"Efficiency Ratio (Tax equivalent basis) excluding core conversion, acquisition costs and other extraordinary items"
A measure of how much a company spends to produce each dollar of revenue, usually shown as operating expenses divided by revenue and expressed as a percentage. Think of it as a household’s budget: a lower percentage means more of each dollar earned stays as profit, while a higher number means costs are eating into returns. Investors use it to judge cost control and compare how efficiently companies turn revenue into earnings, especially in banks and financial firms.
Net income $16.3M
Adjusted net income $20.0M
Diluted EPS $0.36
Net interest income $42.6M
Guidance

The company expects the net interest margin to expand by approximately 25 basis points in the second quarter of 2026 as the full impact of the Middlefield acquisition is realized.

EPS was $0.36 for the quarter, $0.45 excluding acquisition and core conversion costs (non-GAAP)

 

Net interest margin increased to 3.12% in the first quarter of 2026 from 3.05% in the fourth quarter of 2025 and 2.85% in the first quarter of 2025

CANFIELD, Ohio (April 22, 2026) – Farmers National Banc Corp. (“Farmers” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FMNB) reported net income of $16.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $13.6 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025. Net income in the first quarter of 2026 included $4.0 million related to the acquisition of Middlefield Banc Corp. (Middlefield) and core conversion costs. Excluding these items (non-GAAP), adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $20.0 million, or $0.45 per diluted share.

 

Kevin J. Helmick, President and CEO, stated: “Farmers is off to a solid start in 2026, highlighted by the successful completion of the Middlefield acquisition and continued strength across our core Ohio and Pennsylvania markets. We are focused on successfully integrating Middlefield into our operations and completing our core technology conversion, both of which are expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2026. In addition, we are well positioned to capitalize on our expanded presence in Columbus, Ohio, as a result of recent investments and the Middlefield acquisition. Combined, we believe these actions position Farmers for continued profitable growth and value creation.”

 

Balance Sheet

 

Total assets increased to $7.18 billion at March 31, 2026, from $5.25 billion at December 31, 2025, primarily due to the Middlefield acquisition which added $1.82 billion in assets. Total loans, net of allowance, increased to $4.75 billion at March 31, 2026, from $3.27 billion at December 31, 2025. Middlefield added $1.49 billion in total loans at the date of closing.

 

Securities available for sale increased to $1.48 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to $1.34 billion at December 31, 2025. Middlefield added $152.8 million to the total. The Company anticipates continued rate volatility in the bond market in 2026, which will continue to affect the value of the portfolio.

 

Total deposits were $5.92 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $1.58 billion from December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to Middlefield, which added $1.49 billion in deposits, as well as seasonal growth in public funds.

 

Total stockholders’ equity increased to $766.9 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $485.7 million at December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the acquisition of Middlefield.

 

Credit Quality

 

Non-performing loans increased from $26.2 million at December 31, 2025, to $59.9 million at March 31, 2026. The increase was due to the acquisition of Middlefield. Nonperforming loans to total loans were 1.25% at March 31, 2026 compared to 0.79% at December 31, 2025. The Company’s loans which were 30-89 days delinquent were $14.7 million at March 31, 2026, or 0.31% of total loans, compared to $16.9 million at December 31, 2025.

 

The provision for credit losses and unfunded commitments was a recovery of $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to a recovery of $204,000 in the first quarter of 2025. The provision in the first quarter of 2026 was positively impacted by improvements in qualitative factors in the Company’s CECL model. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.05% in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 0.04% in the first quarter of 2025. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.14% at March 31, 2026, compared to 1.11% at December 31, 2025. With the addition of Middlefield, the Company established a Day 1 allowance for credit losses of $19.3 million for the Middlefield loan balances. This was the primary reason for the increase in the allowance for loan losses to loans ratio in the first quarter.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income increased to $42.6 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $34.2 million in the first quarter of 2025. Average interest earning assets increased to $5.55 billion in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $4.89 billion in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the acquisition of Middlefield. The net interest margin improved to 3.12% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to 2.85% in the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year increase in net interest margin was due to the acquisition and higher yields on earning assets and lower funding costs on interest bearing liabilities. The Company expects the net interest margin to expand by approximately 25 basis points in the second quarter of 2026 as the full impact of the Middlefield acquisition is realized. The yield on interest earning assets increased from 4.74% in the first quarter of 2025 to 4.89% in the first quarter of 2026, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined from 2.52% in the first quarter of 2025 to 2.35% in the first quarter of 2026. Excluding acquisition marks, non-GAAP, the Company’s net interest margin was 2.99% in the first quarter of 2026, and 2.67% in the first quarter of 2025.

 

 

 

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income increased to $13.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 from $10.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by the Middlefield acquisition, growth in the wealth lines of business and lower losses on the sale of securities. Service charge income increased to $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to the acquisition. Bank owned life insurance income was $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $810,000 in the first quarter of 2025. Death claims were higher by $416,000 in 2026 compared to 2025 and the addition of Middlefield was primarily responsible for the remaining difference. Trust fees increased to $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 from $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2025 as the Company continues to show excellent growth in this business unit. Losses on the sale of securities were $18,000 in the first quarter of 2026, down from a loss of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. The Company restructured $23.8 million of securities at the end of the first quarter of 2025 resulting in the loss realized on the sale. Investment commissions increased $342,000 from the first quarter of 2025 to first quarter of 2026 as the Company continued to add investment representatives to the program. Other mortgage banking income was $477,000 in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $147,000 in the first quarter of 2025. This increase was primarily due to the Company recovering $303,000 of mortgage servicing rights impairment in the first quarter of 2026. Other noninterest income declined to $898,000 in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to lower SBIC income in 2026.

 

Noninterest Expense

 

Noninterest expense increased to $37.3 million in the first quarter of 2026 from $28.5 million in the first quarter of 2025 primarily as a result of the Middlefield acquisition and the recognition of $4.0 million in acquisition and core conversion costs in the first quarter of 2026. Salaries and employee benefits increased to $18.5 million in the first quarter of 2026 from $16.2 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by annual raises and the acquisition. Occupancy and equipment expense increased by $988,000 in the first quarter of 2026 from the first quarter of 2025 primarily as a result of the acquisition and higher building maintenance costs due to more severe winter weather conditions. FDIC insurance and state and local taxes were $1.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $341,000 from the quarter ending March 31, 2025 due to the acquisition and increased franchise tax due to higher levels of capital year-over-year. Core processing expense increased to $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was due to the acquisition and a lower level of service credits in 2026. Other noninterest expense increased by $650,000 to $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2026 primarily as a result of the acquisition and timing issues.

 

Liquidity

 

The Company had access to an additional $788.9 million in FHLB borrowing capacity at March 31, 2026, along with $446.6 million in available for sale securities that are available for pledging. The Company’s loan to deposit ratio was 81.1% at March 31, 2026.

Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent only management’s current expectations and forecasts regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of Farmers’ control.

Factors that could cause Farmers’ actual results to differ materially from those described in certain forward-looking statements include significant changes in near-term local, regional, and U.S. economic conditions including those resulting from continued high rates of inflation, tightening monetary policy of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, U.S. and foreign country tariff policies, and possibility of a recession; and the other factors contained in Farmers’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and available on Farmers’ website (www.farmersbankgroup.com) and on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).
