Insights
Q1 2026 shows solid profit growth, margin expansion, and stable credit metrics.
Landmark Bancorp delivered first quarter diluted EPS of $0.83, up from $0.77 a year ago, with net earnings of $5.1M. Management highlighted record total revenue of $18.8M, reflecting both higher net interest income and steady fee-based revenue. Return on assets at 1.29% and return on equity at 12.65% indicate healthy profitability for a community bank.
Net interest income grew to $15.0M, up 14.5% year-over-year, as the net interest margin widened to 4.24%. Key drivers were higher yields on loans and investments and lower funding costs, with the average rate on interest-bearing deposits declining to 1.90%. Total deposit costs fell to 1.38%, helping offset lower loan balances.
Non-interest expense increased year-over-year to $11.9M, partly due to $433K of fraud losses and higher technology and staffing costs, but the efficiency ratio still improved to 62.7%. Credit quality remains manageable: the allowance for credit losses was $12.6M or 1.15% of gross loans, with non-performing loans at 0.94% of gross loans. The quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share and tangible equity-to-tangible-assets ratio of 8.11% underscore a solid capital position.

SUMMARY OF FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income in the first quarter of 2026 totaled $15.0 million, representing an increase of $234,000, or 1.6%, compared to the prior quarter and an increase of $1.9 million, or 14.5%, compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in net interest income this quarter compared to the prior quarter was driven by higher rates on investments despite lower average balances, coupled with lower interest expense on deposits and other borrowings. The increase in net interest income this quarter compared to the first quarter of 2025 was driven by higher rates on loans and investments, coupled with lower interest expense on deposits and other borrowings. The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 4.24%, an increase of 21 basis points as compared to the prior quarter and an increase of 48 basis points from 3.76% during the first quarter of the prior year. The average tax-equivalent yield on the investment securities portfolio grew to 3.55%, compared to 3.39% in the prior quarter and 3.29% in the first quarter of 2025. The average tax-equivalent yield on the loan portfolio remained flat at 6.40% as compared to the prior quarter and increased six basis points as compared to the first quarter of the prior year.
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, interest on deposits decreased $527,000, or 10.3%, due to lower rates, coupled with decreased average balances. Interest on other borrowed funds decreased $296,000 from the fourth quarter of 2025, due to lower rates and average balances. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits decreased 16 basis points from the prior quarter, to 1.90%, primarily due to lower rates on money market and checking accounts and certificates of deposit. The average rate on other borrowed funds decreased eight basis points to 4.85% in the first quarter of 2026.
Compared to the first quarter of 2025, interest on deposits decreased $625,000, or 11.9%, due to lower rates, partially offset by increased average balances. Interest on other borrowed funds decreased $373,000 from the first quarter of the prior year, due to lower rates and average balances. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits decreased 27 basis points from the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower rates on money market and checking accounts and certificates of deposit. The average rate on other borrowed funds decreased 24 basis points as compared to the first quarter of 2025.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $135,000 from the prior quarter and an increase of $406,000 from the same quarter in the prior year. The decrease in non-interest income as compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to a decrease of $308,000 in fees and services charges, driven by a decrease in seasonal interchange income and lower overdraft income during the first quarter of 2026. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in gains on sales of investment securities driven by $101,000 of losses recognized during the fourth quarter of 2025, and an increase of $87,000 in bank-owned life insurance income.
The increase in non-interest income as compared to the first quarter of the prior year was primarily due to an increase of $323,000 in gains on the sale of loans due to an increase in volume of loans sold in the secondary market, coupled with an increase of $101,000 in bank-owned life insurance income.
Non-Interest Expense
During
the first quarter of 2026, non-interest expense totaled $11.9 million, a decrease of $362,000, or 3.0%, compared to the prior
quarter and an increase of $1.1 million, or 10.6%, compared to the same period in the prior year. Compared to the prior quarter, the
decrease in non-interest expense was primarily due to decreases of $492,000 in compensation and benefits expense and $356,000 in
valuation allowances recorded on repossessed assets held for sale. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $472,000
in other expense. The decrease in compensation and benefits was attributable to lower incentive compensation expense in the first
quarter of 2026 as compared to the prior quarter. The increase in other expense was primarily due to $433,000 of fraud losses
related to previously disclosed fraudulent activity by a non-executive officer of the bank, which was identified during the first
quarter. The
Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increases of $604,000 in other expense, $198,000 in occupancy and equipment expense, $169,000 in compensation and benefits expense, and $158,000 in data processing expense. The increase in other expense was primarily due to the recognition of fraud losses as discussed above, coupled with increased insurance loss reserves of our captive insurance subsidiary. The increases in both occupancy and equipment expense and data processing expense were related to expenses incurred to upgrade our core branch operation systems during the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase in compensation and benefits was attributable to an increase in the number of employees in the current year, coupled with higher benefits expense as compared to the prior year.
Income Tax Expense
Landmark recorded income tax expense of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $1.2 million in the prior quarter, and $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2025. The effective tax rate was 19.8% in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 20.0% in the prior quarter and 17.8% in the first quarter of 2025.
Balance Sheet Highlights
As of March 31, 2026, gross period-end loans totaled $1.1 billion, a decrease of $13.5 million from the prior quarter, while average loans also declined $12.8 million. This decrease in period-end loans was primarily driven by lower agriculture loans (decline of $16.2 million), one-to-four family residential real estate (decline of $7.0 million), commercial (decline of $1.8 million), and construction and land loans (decline of $1.7 million), offset by growth in commercial real estate (growth of $13.6 million) loans. Investment securities available-for-sale decreased $6.1 million during the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to maturities occurring during the quarter.
Period-end deposit balances decreased $66.2 million to $1.3 billion at March 31, 2026, an annualized decrease of 19.3% compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in deposits was driven by a decrease in money market and checking accounts of $61.6 million, coupled with a decrease in certificates of deposit of $10.8 million. These decreases were primarily driven by a decline in brokered deposits, coupled with seasonal fluctuations in public fund deposit account balances. Total period-end borrowings increased $57.3 million during the first quarter of 2026. At March 31, 2026, the loan to deposits ratio was 82.1%, compared to 79.1% in the prior quarter.
Stockholders’ equity increased to $161.6 million (book value of $26.50 per share) as of March 31, 2026, from $160.6 million (book value of $26.44 per share) as of December 31, 2025. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily due to net earnings for the quarter net of dividends paid, offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive losses (higher unrealized net losses on investment securities). The ratio of equity to total assets increased to 10.06% on March 31, 2026, from 10.00% on December 31, 2025.
The allowance for credit losses totaled $12.6 million, or 1.15% of total gross loans, as of March 31, 2026, compared to $12.5 million, or 1.12% of total gross loans, as of December 31, 2025. Net loan charge-offs totaled $349,000 in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $341,000 during the fourth quarter of 2025 and $23,000 in the first quarter of the prior year. A provision for credit losses on loans of $500,000 was recorded in both the first quarter of 2026 and the fourth quarter of 2025, which was an increase of $500,000 as compared to the first quarter of the prior year.
Non-performing loans totaled $10.4 million, or 0.94% of gross loans, at March 31, 2026, compared to $10.0 million, or 0.90% of gross loans, at December 31, 2025. Loans 30-89 days delinquent totaled $7.4 million, or 0.68% of gross loans, as of March 31, 2026, compared to $4.3 million, or 0.38% of gross loans, as of December 31, 2025.
