Manhattan, KS, May 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Landmark Bancorp, Inc. ("Landmark"; Nasdaq: LARK) reported diluted earnings per share of $0.51 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $0.48 per share in the fourth quarter of 2023 and $0.61 per share in the same quarter last year. Net earnings for the first quarter of 2024 amounted to $2.8 million, compared to $2.6 million in the prior quarter and $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the return on average assets was 0.72%, the return on average equity was 8.88%, and the efficiency ratio was 73.0%.
In announcing these results, Abby Wendel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Landmark, said, "We are pleased with our first quarter results, which included continued solid loan growth, controlled expenses, and good credit quality. Compared to the fourth quarter 2023, total gross loans increased by $15.4 million, or 6.5% on an annualized basis, reflecting solid demand for residential mortgage, construction and commercial loans. Average interest-bearing deposits also increased $24.8 million this quarter. Net interest income totaled $10.7 million, a decrease of 1.3% from the prior quarter, as increased interest costs on deposits outpaced growth in interest income on loans. Our net interest margin increased slightly to 3.12% aided by relatively stable interest rates this quarter from the fourth quarter. Non-interest income increased $1.1 million as the fourth quarter of 2023 included a $1.2 million loss on the sale of lower rate investment securities. Our continuing focus on managing non-interest expense resulted in a slight decline this quarter while non-interest expense increased only 2.0% over the same period last year. A provision for credit losses of $300,000 was recorded in the first quarter of 2024 as we increased our allowance for credit losses to reflect the growth in loans."
Ms. Wendel continued, "The credit quality of our loan portfolio remains excellent. Landmark recorded net loan charge-offs of $7,000 in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $362,000 in the fourth quarter of 2023 and $47,000 in the first quarter of 2023. The ratio of net loan charge-offs to loans remains low. Non-accrual loans totaled $3.6 million, or 0.38%, of gross loans at March 31, 2024 while the balance of loans past due 30 to 89 days totaled $3.9 million, or 0.41%, of gross loans at March 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses totaled $10.9 million at March 31, 2024, or 1.13% of period end gross loans. Our loans to deposits ratio totaled 73.6% at the end of the first quarter reflecting ample liquidity for future loan growth."
Landmark's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.21 per share, an increase of 5%, to be paid May 29, 2024, to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2024.

SUMMARY OF FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income in the first quarter of 2024 amounted to $10.7 million representing a decrease of $139,000, or 1.3%, compared to the previous quarter. This decrease in net interest income was due mainly to higher interest expense on deposits, and was partially offset by growth in interest income on loans and lower interest expense on borrowings. The net interest margin increased to 3.12% during the first quarter. Compared to the previous quarter, interest income on loans increased $267,000, or 1.9%, to $14.5 million due to both higher balances and rates. The average tax-equivalent yield on the loan portfolio increased 12 basis points to 6.16%. Interest expense on deposits increased $578,000, or 11.8%, in the first quarter 2024, 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 in the first quarter to 2.35% compared to 2.13% in the prior quarter. Interest on borrowed funds decreased $180,000 due primarily to lower average balances.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $95,000, or 2.7%, compared to the same period last year and an increase of $1.1 million, or 50.8%, from the previous quarter. The increase in non-interest income compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 was primarily the result of securities losses of $1.2 million taken in the fourth quarter of 2023 which did not re-occur in the current quarter. Gains on sales of one-to-four family residential real estate loans declined $181,000 from the same period last year but increased $257,000 from the prior quarter. Fees and service charges increased $103,000 compared to the same period last year but declined $302,000 from the prior quarter.
Non-Interest Expense
During the first quarter of 2024, non-interest expense totaled $10.6 million, an increase of $208,000, or 2.0%, over the same period in 2023 and a decrease of $11,000 compared to the prior quarter. Compared to the 1st quarter last year, compensation and benefits were flat while data processing expense declined 18.3%. Amortization expense also declined 10.6% but professional fees and other expenses increased $156,000 and $198,000, respectively. The increase in professional fees was associated with increased legal costs associated with revisions to the Company's benefit plans while growth in other expense resulted from increased due to a valuation allowance recorded against real estate held for sale and an increase in operating losses incurred.
Income Tax Expense
Landmark recorded income tax expense of $518,000 in the first quarter of 2024 compared to income tax expense of $693,000 in the first quarter of 2023 and an income tax benefit of $111,000 in the fourth quarter of 2023. The effective tax rate was 15.7% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to 17.1% in the first quarter of 2023 and (4.4%) in the fourth quarter of 2023. The fourth quarter of 2023 included the recognition of $517,000 of previously unrecognized tax benefits, which reduced the effective tax rate in the periods.
Liquidity Highlights
In addition to local retail, commercial and public fund deposits, Landmark 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 March 31, 2024, Landmark had collateral pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") that would allow for an additional $165.3 million of FHLB borrowings. Additionally, investment securities were pledged to the Federal Reserve discount window that provides borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve of $56.9 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 March 31, 2024.
As of March 31, 2024, Landmark had unpledged available-for-sale investment securities with a fair value of $63.4 million as well as approximately $69.5 million of pledged investment securities in excess of required levels. The average life of the Company's investment portfolio is approximately 4.2 years and is projected to generate cash flow through maturities of $71.5 million over the next 12 months.
Balance Sheet Highlights
As of March 31, 2024, gross loans totaled $964.0 million, an increase of $15.4 million, or 6.5% annualized since December 31, 2023. During the quarter, loan growth was primarily comprised of one-to-four family residential real estate (growth of $10.3 million), construction and land (growth of $3.7 million), commercial real estate (growth of $2.4 million), municipal (growth of $1.2 million) and commercial (growth of $1.0 million) loans. The increase in one-to-four family residential real estate loans is primarily related to continued demand for adjustable-rate mortgage loans which are retained in our portfolio. Investment securities decreased $15.5 million during the first quarter of 2024, while pre-tax unrealized net losses on these investment securities increased from $21.9 million at December 31, 2023 to $24.4 million at March 31, 2024 mainly due to slightly higher interest rates.
Period end deposit balances decreased $22.7 million to $1.3 billion at March 31, 2024. The decrease in deposits was mainly driven by declines in money market and checking (decrease of $30.3 million) and non-interest-bearing demand (decrease of $2.7 million) in the first quarter but partly offset by higher certificate of deposit accounts and savings accounts, which increased in total by $10.3 million. The decrease in money market and checking accounts was mainly driven by a seasonal decline in public fund deposit account balances. However average interest-bearing deposits increased $24.8 million this quarter. Average borrowings, including FHLB advances and repurchase agreements decreased $11.8 million this quarter. At March 31, 2024, the loan to deposits ratio was 73.6% compared to 71.2% in the prior quarter and 66.4% in the same period last year.
Estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized public fund deposits, totaled $174.2 million and $197.2 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. This represents approximately 14% of total deposits at March 31, 2024 and compares favorably with other similar community banking organizations. Over 92% of Landmark's total deposits were considered core deposits at March 31, 2024. 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 $95.7 million at March 31, 2024 compared to $83.2 million at December 31, 2023 and are utilized as an additional source of liquidity.
Stockholders' equity decreased slightly to $126.7 million (book value of $23.14 per share) as of December 31, 2023, from $126.9 million (book value of $23.17 per share) as of December 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in other comprehensive losses during the first quarter of 2024. The increase in other comprehensive losses resulted from higher market interest rates which increased the unrealized losses on the Company's investment securities portfolio. The ratio of equity to total assets increased to 8.16% on March 31, 2024, from 8.13% on December 31, 2023.
The allowance for credit losses totaled $10.9 million, or 1.13% of total gross loans on March 31, 2024, compared to $10.6 million, or 1.12% of total gross loans on December 31, 2023. Net loan charge-offs totaled $7,000 in the first quarter of 2024, compared to $47,000 during the same quarter last year and $362,000 during the fourth quarter of 2023. A provision for credit losses of $300,000 was made in the first quarter of 2024 related to an increase loan balances and unfunded loan commitments.
Non-performing loans totaled $3.6 million, or 0.38% of gross loans at March 31, 2024 compared to $2.4 million, or 0.25% of gross loans at December 31, 2023. Loans 30-89 days delinquent totaled $3.9 million, or 0.41% of gross loans, as of March 31, 2024 compared to $1.6 million, or 0.17% of gross loans, as of December 31, 2023. Real estate owned totaled $428,000 at March 31, 2024.
