Manhattan, KS, Aug. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Landmark Bancorp, Inc. (“Landmark”; Nasdaq: LARK) reported diluted earnings per share of $0.64 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $0.64 per share in the first quarter of 2023 and $0.58 per share in the same quarter last year. Net earnings for the second quarter of 2023 amounted to $3.4 million, compared to $3.4 million in the prior quarter and $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2022. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the return on average assets was 0.88%, the return on average equity was 11.52%, and the efficiency ratio was 69.2%.
For the first six months of 2023, diluted earnings per share totaled $1.29 compared to $1.18 during the same period in 2022. Net earnings for the six months of 2023 totaled $6.7 million, compared to $6.2 million in the first six months of 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the return on average assets was 0.89% and the return on average equity was 11.77%.
In making this announcement, Michael E. Scheopner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Landmark, said, “While growth in interest rates over this past year has increased funding costs and provided stress to the banking industry, Landmark continued to provide solid earnings this quarter driven by growth in loans, well-controlled expenses, and solid credit quality. Compared to the first quarter 2023, total gross loans increased by $23.5 million, or 10.8% on an annualized basis mainly due to growth in agriculture, commercial and residential mortgage loans. Deposits decreased $13.1 million during the second quarter of 2023 due to lower non-interest demand deposits but offset by growth in money market, interest checking and certificates of deposit accounts. Our loan to deposit ratio this quarter remains relatively low and reflects ample liquidity for future loan growth. This quarter's net interest income declined slightly from the prior quarter, as growth in interest income on loans was offset by increased interest expense on deposits and other borrowings. Our net interest margin totaled 3.21% during the second quarter of 2023 as compared to 3.31% in the prior quarter and 3.05% in the second quarter last year. Non-interest income increased $334,000 compared to the first quarter 2023 mainly due to growth in both fees and service charges and gains on sales of residential mortgage loans. Non-interest expense remained well controlled in the second quarter 2023 increasing slightly compared to the prior quarter.”
Mr. Scheopner continued, “This quarter we continued to see low net loan charge-offs, declining non-performing assets and low levels of delinquent loans. Landmark recorded net loan charge-offs of $68,000 in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $42,000 in the second quarter of 2022 and $47,000 in the first quarter of 2023. Non-accrual loans totaled $2.8 million, or 0.31%, of gross loans at June 30, 2023 and have declined $2.1 million over the last twelve months. The allowance for loan losses totaled $10.4 million at June 30, 2023, or 1.17% of period end gross loans, while our equity to assets ratio totaled 7.62%.”
Landmark’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.21 per share, to be paid September 6, 2023, to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 23, 2023. Management will host a conference call to discuss the Company’s financial results at 10:00 a.m. (Central time) on Wednesday, August 9, 2023.

SUMMARY OF SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income in the second quarter of 2023 amounted to $10.8 million representing a slight decrease compared to the previous quarter. This decrease in net interest income was due mainly to higher interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds but partly offset by growth in interest income on loans. The net interest margin totaled 3.21% during the second quarter compared to 3.31% in the prior quarter. Compared to the previous quarter, interest income on loans increased $1.2 million, or 11.0%, to $12.6 million due to both higher rates and balances while the average tax-equivalent yield on the loan portfolio increased 37 basis points to 5.80%. Interest income on investment securities increased slightly due to small increases in rates and balances. The average tax-equivalent yield on investment securities totaled 2.70% this quarter compared to 2.68% in the prior quarter.
Interest expense on deposits increased $913,000 in the second quarter 2023, compared to the prior quarter, mainly due to higher rates and average balances on interest-bearing deposits. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits increased this quarter to 1.57% compared to 1.18% in the prior quarter. Interest expense on total borrowed funds grew $450,000, compared to the prior quarter, as the average rate paid increased 36 basis points to 5.05% and average balances grew $21.3 million.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $33,000, or 0.9%, compared to the same period last year and an increase of $334,000, or 9.6%, from the previous quarter. The increase in non-interest income during the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to increases of $101,000 in fees and services charges, $142,000 in other non-interest income and $33,000 in bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) income. The increases in fees and services charges and BOLI income were primarily associated with the acquisition of Freedom Bank in the fourth quarter of 2022, as the acquisition increased Landmark’s deposit base and BOLI assets. The increase in other non-interest income was primarily related to an increase in rental income associated with a branch which was vacant in the prior year period. Gains on sales of one-to-four family residential loans declined $243,000 from the same period last year due to lower fixed rate mortgage originations. Compared to the prior quarter, the increase in non-interest income was primarily due to seasonal increases with fees and service charges and increased loan originations of residential mortgage loans, as well as a full quarter of rental income noted above.
Non-Interest Expense
During the second quarter of 2023, non-interest expense totaled $10.3 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 14.7%, over the same period in 2022 but unchanged compared to the prior quarter. Compared to the same period last year, higher costs this year for compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing and other non-interest expenses were primarily due to higher operating costs associated with the Freedom Bank acquisition, while amortization expense increased $137,000 this quarter due to the core deposit intangible recorded for this acquisition. Non-interest expense was flat compared to the prior quarter as higher professional fees were offset by lower data processing costs.
Income Tax Expense
Landmark recorded income tax expense of $701,000 in the second quarter of 2023 compared to income tax expense of $639,000 in the second quarter of 2022 and $693,000 in the first quarter of 2023. The effective tax rate was 17.3% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 17.4% in the second quarter of 2022 and 17.1% in the first quarter of 2023.
Liquidity Highlights
In addition to local retail, commercial and public fund deposits, the Company has access to multiple sources of brokered deposits that can be utilized for liquidity. Landmark also has diverse sources of liquidity available through both secured and unsecured borrowing lines of credit. At June 30, 2023, Landmark had collateral pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) that would allow for an additional $129.0 million of FHLB borrowings. Additionally, investment securities were pledged to the Federal Reserve discount window that provides borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve of $60.8 million. Landmark also had various other federal funds agreements, both secured and unsecured, with correspondent banks totaling approximately $30.0 million in available credit at June 30, 2023.
As of June 30, 2023, Landmark had unpledged available-for-sale investment securities with a fair value of $73.8 million as well as approximately $94.6 million of pledged investment securities in excess of required levels. The average life of the Company’s investment portfolio is approximately 4.4 years and is projected to generate cash flow through maturities of $76.3 million over the next 12 months.
Balance Sheet Highlights
As of June 30, 2023, gross loans totaled $893.3 million, an increase of $23.5 million, or 10.8% annualized since March 31, 2023. During the quarter, loan growth was comprised of one-to-four family residential real estate (growth of $13.6 million), commercial (growth of $9.1 million) and agriculture loans (growth of $3.8 million), offset by a decline in construction and commercial real estate loans. Investment securities decreased $5.8 million, during the second quarter of 2023, while gross unrealized net losses on these investment securities increased from $26.5 million at March 31, 2023 to $30.0 million at June 30, 2023. Deposit balances decreased $13.1 million, or 4.0% on an annualized basis, to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2023. The decrease in deposits was mainly driven by declines in non-interest demand (decline of $39.6 million) and savings accounts (decline of $9.1 million) this quarter which was partially offset by higher money market, interest checking and certificate of deposit accounts, which increased in total by $26.5 million. Total borrowings, including Federal Home Loan Bank advances and repurchase agreements increased $31.9 million this quarter to fund the loan growth and offset the lower deposit balances. At June 30, 2023, the loan to deposits ratio was 68.9% compared to 66.4% in the prior quarter and 58.5% in the same period last year.
Total deposits include estimated uninsured deposits of $193.1 million and $224.7 million as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. This represents approximately 15% of total deposits at June 30, 2023 and compares favorably with other similar community banking organizations. Over 96% of Landmark’s total deposits were considered core deposits at June 30, 2023. These deposit balances are from retail, commercial and public fund customers located in the markets where the Company has bank branch locations. Brokered deposits are considered non-core and totaled $41.2 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $11.3 million at March 31, 2023 and are utilized as an additional source of liquidity.
Stockholders’ equity decreased slightly to $117.4 million (book value of $22.50 per share) as of June 30, 2023, from $117.7 million (book value of $22.57 per share) as of March 31, 2023, due to an increase in other comprehensive losses during the second quarter of 2023 related to the decline in the unrealized losses on investment securities. The ratio of equity to total assets decreased to 7.62% on June 30, 2023, from 7.74% on March 31, 2023.
The allowance for credit losses totaled $10.4 million, or 1.17% of total gross loans on June 30, 2023, compared to $10.3 million, or 1.18% of total gross loans on March 31, 2023. Net loan charge-offs totaled $68,000 in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $47,000 during the first quarter of 2023 and $42,000 during the same quarter last year. The ratio of annualized net loan charge-offs to total average loans was 0.03% in the second quarter of 2023, 0.02% in the first quarter of 2023 and 0.03% in the same quarter last year. A provision for credit losses of $250,000 was made in the second quarter of 2023 as credit models factored in growth in our overall loan portfolio for this quarter. A provision for credit losses of $49,000 was made in the first quarter of 2023 related to unfunded loan commitments and held-to-maturity investments securities. No provision for credit losses was recorded in the second quarter of 2022.
Non-performing loans totaled $2.8 million, or 0.31% of gross loans, while loans 30-89 days delinquent totaled $614,000, or 0.07% of gross loans, as of June 30, 2023. Real estate owned totaled $0.9 million at June 30, 2023.
