“Landmark’s strong second quarter results reflected record revenue of more than $19 million, solid earnings performance, and continued improvement in profitability,” said Abby Wendel, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our continued revenue growth demonstrates the strength of our relationship-based banking model, disciplined pricing strategies, and prudent balance sheet management.”
Ms. Wendel continued, “We were pleased to see loan growth accelerate during the second quarter, especially across all areas of our commercial and agricultural-related loan portfolios, driven by our team’s focus on attracting new clients while deepening relationships with existing clients. And while nonperforming loans, which increased during the quarter, remain higher than we would like, we are making steady progress improving the overall portfolio quality through proactive management and the resolution of credits that no longer align with our credit risk profile. Strong capital generation continues to strengthen our balance sheet which supports ongoing investments in talent, technology and facilities to enhance the customer and associate experience.”
Dividend Declaration
Landmark’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.21 per share, to be paid August 27, 2026, to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 13, 2026.

SUMMARY OF SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income in the second quarter of 2026 totaled $15.1 million, representing an increase of $57,000, or 0.4%, compared to the prior quarter and an increase of $1.4 million, or 10.2%, compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in net interest income this quarter compared to both the prior quarter and the second quarter of 2025 was driven by higher rates on investments despite lower average balances, coupled with lower interest expense on deposits and other borrowings which more than offset a slight decrease in loan yields. The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2026 was 4.22%, a decrease of two basis points from 4.24% during the prior quarter and an increase of 39 basis points from 3.83% during the second quarter of the prior year. The average tax-equivalent yield on the investment securities portfolio grew to 3.66%, compared to 3.55% in the prior quarter and 3.34% in the second quarter of 2025 as lower-rate securities matured during the quarter. The average tax-equivalent yield on the loan portfolio declined nine basis points as compared to the prior quarter and decreased six basis points as compared to the second quarter of the prior year.
Compared to the first quarter of 2026, interest on deposits decreased $262,000, or 5.7%, due to lower rates, coupled with decreased average balances as brokered deposits declined. Interest on other borrowed funds increased $208,000 from the first quarter of 2026, driven by higher average balances, partially offset by a decrease in rates. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits decreased eight basis points from the prior quarter, to 1.82%, primarily due to lower rates on certificates of deposit. The average rate on other borrowed funds decreased 31 basis points to 4.54% in the second quarter of 2026, offset by an increase in average balances in borrowings from the FHLB.
Compared to the second quarter of 2025, interest on deposits decreased $795,000, or 15.5%, due to lower rates, coupled with decreased average balances. Interest on other borrowed funds decreased $449,000 from the second quarter of the prior year, due to lower rates and average balances. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits decreased 32 basis points from the second 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 44 basis points as compared to the second quarter of 2025.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $331,000 from the prior quarter and an increase of $469,000 from the same quarter in the prior year. The increase in non-interest income as compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase of $356,000 in gains on the sale of loans due to an increase in the volume of loans sold in the secondary market.
The increase in non-interest income as compared to the second quarter of the prior year was primarily due to an increase of $501,000 in gains on the sale of loans due to an increase in the volume of loans sold in the secondary market.
Non-Interest Expense
During the second quarter of 2026, non-interest expense totaled $12.0 million, an increase of $63,000, or 0.5%, compared to the prior quarter and an increase of $1.0 million, or 9.1%, compared to the same period in the prior year. Compared to the prior quarter, the increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increases of $487,000 in professional fees and $246,000 in compensation and benefits expense. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $364,000 in other expense and $243,000 in occupancy and equipment expense. The increase in professional fees was attributable to $270,000 in one-time forensic accounting and legal costs related to previously disclosed fraudulent activity by a non-executive officer of the bank, coupled with an increase in consulting expenses for talent recruitment and development, and internal audit co-sourcing. The increase in compensation and benefits was attributable to higher incentive compensation expense in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in other expense was primarily due to $433,000 of fraud losses related to fraudulent activity by a non-executive officer of the bank, which was identified during the first quarter. The decrease in occupancy and equipment expense was related to expenses incurred to upgrade our core branch operation systems during the first quarter of 2026.
Compared to the second quarter of 2025, the increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increases of $711,000 in professional fees and $335,000 in compensation and benefits. The increase in professional fees was attributable to $270,000 in one-time forensic accounting and legal costs related to previously disclosed fraudulent activity as outlined above, coupled with an increase in consulting expenses for talent recruitment and development, and internal audit co-sourcing. 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 second quarter of 2026, compared to $1.3 million in the prior quarter, and $944,000 in the second quarter of 2025. The effective tax rate was 19.7% in the second quarter of 2026, compared to 19.8% in the prior quarter and 17.7% in the second quarter of 2025.
Balance Sheet Highlights
As of June 30, 2026, gross period-end loans totaled $1.1 billion, an increase of $3.3 million from the prior quarter, while average loans declined $3.2 million. The increase in period-end loans was primarily driven by higher construction and land loans (growth of $4.5 million), commercial loans (growth of $1.5 million) and agriculture loans (growth of $1.5 million), offset by a decline in one-to-four family residential real estate loans (decline of $4.0 million). Investment securities available-for-sale decreased $1.3 million during the second quarter of 2026, primarily due to maturities occurring during the quarter.
Period-end deposit balances decreased $17.7 million to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2026, an annualized decrease of 5.4% compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in deposits was driven primarily by a decline in brokered deposits and more specifically by decreases in certificates of deposit and savings accounts of $33.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by increases in non-interest-bearing demand deposits ($12.8 million increase) and money market and checking accounts ($6.7 million increase). Total period-end borrowings increased $15.7 million during the second quarter of 2026. At June 30, 2026, the loan to deposits ratio was 83.5%, compared to 82.1% in the prior quarter.
Stockholders’ equity increased to $166.9 million (book value of $27.35 per share) as of June 30, 2026, from $161.6 million (book value of $26.50 per share) as of March 31, 2026. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily due to net earnings for the quarter net of dividends paid, coupled with a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive losses (lower unrealized net losses on investment securities). The ratio of equity to total assets increased to 10.39% on June 30, 2026, from 10.06% on March 31, 2026.
The allowance for credit losses totaled $12.7 million, or 1.15% of total gross loans, as of June 30, 2026, compared to $12.6 million, or 1.15% of total gross loans, as of March 31, 2026. Net loan charge-offs totaled $452,000 in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $349,000 during the first quarter of 2026 and $40,000 in the second quarter of the prior year. A provision for credit losses on loans of $500,000 was recorded in both the first and second quarters of 2026, a decrease of $500,000 as compared to the second quarter of the prior year.
Non-performing loans totaled $13.1 million, or 1.18% of gross loans, at June 30, 2026, compared to $10.4 million, or 0.94% of gross loans, at March 31, 2026. Loans 30-89 days delinquent totaled $6.3 million, or 0.57% of gross loans, as of June 30, 2026, compared to $7.4 million, or 0.68% of gross loans, as of March 31, 2026.
