CHICAGO, March 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marquette National Corporation (OTCQX: MNAT) today reported net income of $13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net income of $17.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company recorded earnings per share of $3.01 for 2025 as compared to earnings of $3.91 per share for the year ended December 31, 2024.
At December 31, 2025, total assets were $2.22 billion, an increase of $17 million, or 1%, compared to $2.21 billion at December 31, 2024. Total loans increased by $7 million to $1.412 billion compared to $1.405 billion at the end of 2024. Total deposits increased by $34 million, or 2%, to $1.77 billion compared to $1.74 billion at the end of 2024.
Paul M. McCarthy, Chairman & CEO, said, "the primary reason for the decrease in consolidated earnings was a lower level of unrealized gains on the Company's marketable equity securities portfolio in 2025. The decrease in unrealized gains on the Company's marketable equity securities portfolio was partially offset by an increase in realized gains on the Company's marketable equity securities portfolio and an increase in net interest income. Other comprehensive income was positive for 2025 and helped deliver an increase to tangible book value per share in 2025. Tangible book value per share increased by $4.64 during 2025."
