Источник: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 31 янв 2023 16:16:30 America/New_York
Manhattan, KS, Jan. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Landmark Bancorp, Inc. (“Landmark”; Nasdaq: LARK) reported diluted earnings per share of $0.23 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $0.48 per share in the third quarter of 2022 and $0.60 per share in the same quarter last year. Net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2022 amounted to $1.2 million, compared to $2.5 million in the prior quarter and $3.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, the return on average assets was 0.32%, the return on average equity was 4.50%, and the efficiency ratio was 66.8%. Effective October 1, 2022, Landmark completed its acquisition of Freedom Bancshares, Inc. (“Freedom”), and Freedom’s results of operations are included in Landmark’s fourth quarter results. Excluding acquisition costs of $3.0 million, adjusted net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2022 would have been $3.5 million or $0.67 of diluted earnings per share, while the return on average assets would have been 0.92%, and the return on average equity would have been 13.04%. The adjusted results excluding acquisition costs are a non-GAAP financial measure to make the periods more comparable.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, diluted earnings per share totaled $1.88 compared to $3.42 during 2021. Net earnings for 2022 amounted to $9.9 million, compared to $18.0 million in 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the return on average assets was 0.73% and the return on average equity was 8.25%. Excluding the acquisition costs mentioned above, the adjusted net earnings for 2022 would have been $12.4 million or $2.37 of diluted earnings per share, while the adjusted return on average assets and the return on average equity would have been 0.92% and 10.39%, respectively.
In making this announcement, Michael E. Scheopner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Landmark, said, “We are pleased with the assimilation of Freedom’s associates and customers to date, and our core system conversion is scheduled for late first quarter which will provide opportunities for additional synergies. While our fourth quarter results were impacted by costs associated with the acquisition and losses on sales of investment securities, these strategic moves position us well for 2023 and beyond. Loan growth remained strong during the fourth quarter, and we experienced solid growth in net interest income over the prior quarter. Deposits also increased this quarter. Compared to the third quarter 2022 and excluding $118.0 million of loans acquired in connection with the acquisition of Freedom, total gross loans increased by $20.8 million, or 11.6% on an annualized basis. Net interest income also grew by 25.8% while our net interest margin increased to 3.53% during the fourth quarter of 2022. Non-interest income declined $1.8 million compared to the same period last year mostly the result of lower gains on sales of residential mortgage loans. We also recorded a $750,000 loss on sale of lower yielding investment securities that we had strategically sold this quarter. Excluding the $150.4 million of deposits assumed in the acquisition from Freedom, deposit balances increased by $33.1 million, or 11.7% on an annualized basis, as compared to September 30, 2022.”
Mr. Scheopner continued, “Credit quality remains very strong and non-accrual loans and delinquencies continue to decline. Landmark recorded net loan charge-offs of $67,000 in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to net loan recoveries of $43,000 in the prior quarter and $9,000 in the fourth quarter of 2021. Non-accrual loans totaled $3.3 million or 0.39% of gross loans at December 31, 2022 and have declined $1.9 million over the last twelve months. Also, the balance of loans past due 30 to 89 days remained low. The allowance for loan losses totaled $8.8 million at December 31, 2022, or 1.03% of period end loans. Our equity to assets ratio totaled 7.41% while loans to deposits totaled 64.7%.”
Total assets at December 31, 2022 were $1.5 billion, total gross loans were $850.2 million and total deposits were $1.3 billion. On October 1, 2022, Landmark completed the acquisition of Freedom, a one-bank holding company with gross loans of $118.0 million and deposits of $150.4 million. Landmark’s newest branch, acquired from this acquisition, is in Overland Park, Kansas and expands our presence in the Kansas City market.
Landmark’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.21 per share, to be paid March 1, 2023, to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 15, 2023.

SUMMARY OF FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income amounted to $11.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $2.8 million, or 30.1% over the fourth quarter of 2021. The growth in net interest income compared with the same period last year was the result of growth in interest income of $4.8 million partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $2.0 million. The increase in interest income was mainly the result of higher rates and balances of both loans and investment securities while growth in interest-bearing liabilities and higher rates resulted in increased interest expense. Total gross loans totaled increased $187.8 million (includes $118.0 of acquired Freedom loans) in the fourth quarter of 2022 to $850.2 million compared to the same period last year while loan yields increased to 5.29%. Investment securities balances also increased by $108.6 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 and the tax- equivalent yield on these balances grew to 2.56%. Total deposits grew by $152.2 million (including Freedom acquired deposits of $150.4 million) over the same period last year while other borrowings also grew by $39.2 million. The average rate on interest-bearing liabilities increased this quarter to 0.99% compared to 0.17% last year in the fourth quarter and 0.55% in the prior quarter. Average net interest-earning assets increased $190.7 million to $1.4 billion this quarter compared to the same period last year. On a tax-equivalent basis, the net interest margin totaled 3.53% in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 3.21% in the prior quarter and 3.17% in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $2.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 38.8%, compared to the same period last year and $717,000, or 20.3%, from the previous quarter. The decrease in non-interest income during the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to a decline of $1.4 million in gains on sales of one-to-four family residential real estate loans as higher interest rates and low housing inventories reduced originations of these fixed rate loans compared to the prior quarter and the same quarter last year. Higher mortgage rates, however, resulted in an increase in originations of adjustable-rate loans in the fourth quarter of 2022. Fees and service charges increased $169,000, or 7.0%, over the same period last year and increased $61,000 compared to the prior quarter mainly due to increased deposit-related income. Losses of $750,000 and $353,000 were recorded in the fourth and third quarters of 2022, respectively, on the sale of certain low yielding investment securities in our portfolio.
Non-Interest Expense
During the fourth quarter of 2022, non-interest expense totaled $14.0 million, an increase of $4.4 million, or 46.1%, over the same period in 2021 and $4.5 million, or 47.5% higher than in the prior quarter. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to $3.0 million of acquisition costs in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $134,000 in the prior quarter and none in the same period of 2021. Higher costs for compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment and other non-interest expenses were primarily due to the costs associated with operating a new branch facility from the Freedom acquisition this quarter, while amortization expense increased due to the core deposit intangible recorded for the acquisition. During the fourth quarter of 2022, a valuation allowance of $354,000 was recorded on real estate owned and was included in other non-interest expense.
Income Tax Expense
Landmark recorded an income tax benefit of $466,000 in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to income tax expense of $522,000 in the third quarter of 2022 and $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The effective tax rate decreased to (62.5%) in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to 24.8% in the fourth quarter of 2021 and 17.3% in the third quarter of 2022. The fourth quarter of 2022 included the recognition of $465,000 of previously unrecognized tax benefits, which reduced the effective tax rate in the period.
Balance Sheet Highlights
As of December 31, 2022, gross loans totaled $850.2 million, an increase of $138.9 million since September 30, 2022. The growth in loans was primarily due to the acquisition of Freedom’s $118.0 million loan portfolio coupled with core growth of $20.9 million in loans this quarter. During the quarter, loan growth was comprised of commercial real estate (growth of $75.4 million), commercial (growth of $28.8 million), residential real estate (growth of $31.5 million), and construction loans (growth of $4.6 million). Investment securities increased $8.7 million, during the fourth quarter of 2022, however gross unrealized net losses on these investment securities decreased from $41.0 million at September 30, 2022 to $33.2 million at December 31, 2022. Excluding the $150.4 million of deposits assumed in the Freedom acquisition, deposit balances increased $33.1 million, or 11.7% on an annualized basis, to $1.3 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase in deposits was mainly driven by seasonal growth in public fund deposit accounts. Other borrowings increased by $22.1 million this quarter, primarily due to $22.2 million of repurchase agreements assumed in the Freedom acquisition. At December 31, 2022, the loan to deposits ratio was 64.7% compared to 62.9% in the prior quarter and 56.9% in the same period last year.
Stockholders’ equity increased to $111.4 million (book value of $21.38 per share) as of December 31, 2022, from $105.5 million (book value of $20.20 per share) as of September 30, 2022, due mainly to a decrease in other comprehensive losses during the fourth quarter of 2022 related to the decline in the unrealized losses on investment securities mentioned above. The ratio of equity to total assets decreased to 7.41% on December 31, 2022, from 7.78% at September 30, 2022.
The allowance for loan losses totaled $8.8 million, or 1.03% of total gross loans on December 31, 2022, compared to $8.9 million, or 1.25% of total gross loans on September 30, 2022. Net loan charge-offs totaled $67,000 in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to net loan recoveries of $9,000 during the same quarter last year and $43,000 during the third quarter of 2022. The ratio of annualized net loan charge-offs to total average loans was 0.03% in the fourth quarter of 2022, (0.01%) in the fourth quarter of last year and (0.02%) in the prior quarter. No provision for loan losses was made in either the fourth quarter of 2022 or 2021. A $500,000 provision for loan losses was recorded in the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to the growth in loans during the quarter.
Non-performing loans totaled $3.3 million, or 0.39% of gross loans, while loans 30-89 days delinquent totaled $738,000, or 0.09% of gross loans, as of December 31, 2022. Real estate owned totaled $0.9 million at December 31, 2022.
