CANFIELD, Ohio (July 23, 2025) – Farmers National Banc Corp. (“Farmers” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FMNB) today announced net income of $13.9 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $11.8 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024. Net income for the second quarter of 2025 included pretax gains on the sale of investments securities and other assets totaling $173,000. Excluding these items (non-GAAP), net income for the first quarter of 2025 was $13.8 million, or $0.37 per diluted share.

 

Kevin J. Helmick, President and CEO, stated “Our strong second quarter results reflect the continued success of our approach to community banking and the disciplined execution of our long-term growth strategy. Higher profitability was driven by year-over-year growth in multiple lines of business, demonstrating the value we deliver to our Ohio and Pennsylvania communities.  The improvement in our efficiency ratio is also encouraging, as we remain focused on prudent expense management. These results are a testament to our dedicated associates and the power of our diverse, relationship-driven banking model.”

 

Balance Sheet

 

Total assets increased to $5.18 billion in the second quarter of 2025 from $5.16 billion at March 31, 2025 and $5.12 billion at December 31, 2024. Loans increased to $3.30 billion at June 30, 2025 from $3.25 billion at March 31, 2025 and $3.27 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to strong growth in the commercial area with an increase in balances of $43.6%, or 8.8% annualized growth.

 

The Company had securities available for sale totaling $1.27 billion at June 30, 2025 compared to $1.28 billion as of March 31, 2025, and $1.27 billion at December 31, 2024. The Company anticipates continued rate volatility in the bond market in 2025, which will continue to affect the value of the portfolio.

 

Total deposits declined between March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025 but are up $129.6 million since December 31, 2024. The decline since March 31, 2025, was primarily due to a decline in the use of brokered CDs while the increase since December is due to public funds seasonality and overall growth in deposit balances. Excluding public funds and brokered CDs, the Company has shown excellent growth in deposit balances with an increase of $71.7 million, or 8.8% annualized growth, since March 31, 2025, and $94.9, or 5.5% annualized growth, since December 31, 2024.

 

Total stockholders’ equity was $437.7 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $429.1 million at March 31, 2025 and $406.0 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in retained earnings of $7.5 million due to $13.9 million of net income recognized during the quarter offset by dividends paid to the Company’s outstanding common shareholders.

 

Credit Quality

 

Non-performing loans increased to $27.8 million at June 30, 2025 from $20.7 million at March 31, 2025, and $22.8 million at December 31, 2024. Two loan relationships representing a combined total of $10.2 million moved into nonaccrual this quarter. Both of the relationships are non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans located in the Pittsburgh area. Specific reserves totaling $2.6 million were placed on the loans at the end of the second quarter. The Company is actively working with the borrowers. Nonperforming loans to total loans were 0.84% at June 30, 2025, compared to 0.64% at March 31, 2025, and 0.70% at December 31, 2024. The Company’s loans which were 30-89 days delinquent were $17.7 million at June 30, 2025, or 0.54% of total loans, compared to $11.2 million at March 31, 2025, and $13.0 million at December 31, 2024.

 

The Company’s provision for credit losses and unfunded commitments was $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2024. The provision in the second quarter of 2025 was driven primarily by the $2.6 million in specific reserves placed on the two nonperforming loans discussed previously. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.07% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 0.04% for the first quarter of 2025 and 0.07% for the second quarter of 2024. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.17% at June 30, 2025, 1.09% at March 31, 2025, and 1.10% at December 31, 2024.

 

Net Interest Income

 

The Company reported $34.9 million in net interest income in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $32.1 million in the second quarter of 2024. Average interest earning assets increased to $4.89 billion in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $4.83 billion in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in average loan balances of $59.3 million. The net interest margin improved to 2.91% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 2.85% in the first quarter of 2025 and 2.71% in the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase in net interest margin was due to higher yields on earning assets and lower funding costs on interest bearing liabilities. The current rate cutting cycle by the Federal Reserve that began in September of 2024 has benefitted funding costs while the lag effects of assets repricing continued to drive earning asset yields higher. The yield on interest earning assets increased from 4.76% in the second quarter of 2024 to 4.77% in the second quarter of 2025 while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined from 2.73% in the second quarter of 2024 to 2.49% in the second quarter of 2025. The Company expects its net interest margin will continue to expand in 2025 but the degree of expansion will depend on future cuts to the fed funds rate by the Federal Reserve. Excluding acquisition marks and PPP interest, non-GAAP, the Company’s net interest margin was 2.77% in the second quarter of 2025, 2.67% in the first quarter of 2025, and 2.51% in the second quarter of 2024.

 

 

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income increased to $12.1 million in the second quarter of 2025 from $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 due to continued improvement in many fee-based lines of business and a lower level of losses on the sale of available for sale securities. Service charge income on deposit accounts declined $97,000 to $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2024. Bank owned life insurance (BOLI) income increased $180,000 during the second quarter of 2025 to $832,000 compared to $652,000 in the second quarter of 2024. The Company purchased an additional $15.0 million in policies during the first quarter of 2025 and policy crediting rates have increased over the last twelve months. Trust fees increased to $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2025 from $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. The Company continues to grow this line of business. Insurance agency commissions increased $573,000 to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2025 from $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. The Company shared in the commission from the purchase of the new BOLI policies which added $329,000 to insurance commissions for the quarter. Annuity sales also continue to drive growth. Gains on the sale of available for sale securities were $36,000 in the second quarter of 2025 compared to a loss of $124,000 in the second quarter of 2024. Retirement plan consulting fees increased to $783,000 in the second quarter of 2025 from $623,000 in the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to the acquisition of Crest Retirement Advisors LLC in late December of 2024. Investment commissions grew $243,000 in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter of 2024. The Company has a strong sales team in this line of business and is looking to grow with deeper penetration into newer markets. Debit card income grew from $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2024 to $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2025 as better volumes were realized in the current period. Other noninterest income was $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $162,000 in the second quarter of 2024. SBIC income was $587,000 in the second quarter of 2025 compared to a loss of $1,000 in the second quarter of 2024. The Company also realized gains on the sale of assets of $137,000 in the second quarter of 2025 compared to losses on the sale of assets of $391,000 in the second quarter of 2024.

 

Noninterest Expense

 

Noninterest expense increased from $26.4 million in the second quarter of 2024 to $27.2 million in the second quarter of 2025. Salaries and employee benefits increased to $14.7 million in the second quarter of 2025, from $14.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by annual raises, the acquisition of Crest Retirement in the fourth quarter of 2024 and higher commission expense from increased revenue in the fee-based businesses offset by lower healthcare expense. Occupancy and equipment expense increased to $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2025 from $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2024 due to increased maintenance costs in 2025. Professional fess declined to $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2025 from $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2024 due primarily to lower legal expenses in 2025. Core processing expense increased to $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, from $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due to annual increases and timing differences

 

Liquidity

 

The Company had access to an additional $596.9 million in FHLB borrowing capacity at June 30, 2025, along with $385.8 million in available for sale securities that are available for pledging. The Company’s loan to deposit ratio was 75.1% at June 30, 2025 while the Company’s average deposit balance per account (excluding collateralized deposits) was $26,054 for the same period.
