ENB Financial Corp Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

 

(July 18, 2025) -- Ephrata, PA – ENB Financial Corp (OTCQX: ENBP), the bank holding company for Ephrata National Bank, reports net income for the second quarter of 2025 of $5,810,000, a $1,496,000, or 34.7% increase, over the $4,314,000 earned during the second quarter of 2024. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $10,126,000, a $1,871,000, or 22.7% increase, over the $8,255,000 earned for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024 were $1.02 and $0.76, respectively and year-to-date earnings per share were $1.79 in 2025 compared to $1.46 in 2024.

 

The Corporation’s earnings were positively impacted through the second quarter of 2025 by an increase in net interest income. This increase was only partially offset by an increase in provision expense, slightly lower non interest income, and higher operating expenses.

 

The Corporation’s net interest income (NII) increased by $3,010,000, or 21.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and $5,826,000, or 21.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024. Interest income on loans increased by $2,034,000, or 11.3%, and $4,009,000, or 11.4%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, while interest income on securities increased by $2,118,000, or 59.5%, and $4,260,000, or 59.5%, for the same time periods. Interest expense on deposits and borrowings increased by $977,000, or 11.6%, and $2,155,000 or 13.0%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year due to the continued high interest rate environment putting pressure on deposit rates and the higher cost of wholesale borrowings.

 

The Corporation recorded a provision for credit losses of $126,000 in the second quarter of 2025, compared to a release of provision expense of $207,000 for the second quarter of 2024. For the year-to-date period, provision expense was $612,000, compared to a release of provision expense of $851,000 recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The provision expense recorded in 2025 was primarily related to loan growth. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.13% as of June 30, 2025, and 1.04% as of June 30, 2024.

 

Other income decreased by $76,000, or 1.7%, and $458,000, or 5.2%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Trust and investment services income increased $60,000, or 8.3% and decreased $159,000, or 8.8%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Service fees decreased $89,000, or 6.2%, and $95,000, or 3.4%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024. The Corporation recorded $48,000 gains on securities transactions in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $30,000 in the second quarter of 2024. For the year-to-date period, the Corporation recorded $285,000 in losses on securities transactions, compared to $228,000 in losses during the same period in 2024. Gains on the sale of mortgages decreased by $87,000, or 18.2%, and $192,000, or 18.8%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024, as margins on sales have compressed and the Corporation sold the permanent financing for construction loans with points that were recorded as income in the prior year. Earnings on bank owned life insurance decreased by $125,000, or 30.7%, and $147,000, or 21.0%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024 as a result of a death benefit recognized during the second quarter of 2024. Other income increased by $138,000, or 43.7%, and $188,000, or 30.2%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year as a result of sales tax refunds.

Total operating expenses increased by $645,000, or 4.8%, and $1,419,000 or 5.3%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024. Salary and benefit expenses, which make up the largest portion of operating expenses, did not change materially from 2024 to 2025. Other operating expenses outside of salaries and benefits increased due to expanded investments and initiatives in technology, increased occupancy and equipment costs, some residual core conversion expenses, and increases in fraud expenses related to losses on customer deposit accounts.

 

The Corporation’s annualized return on average assets (ROA) and return on average stockholders’ equity (ROE) for the second quarter of 2025 increased to 1.06% and 17.24%, respectively, from 0.87% and 14.45% for the second quarter of 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Corporation’s annualized ROA was 0.93%, compared to 0.84% in 2024, while the ROE was 15.15%, compared to 13.93% in 2024.

 

As of June 30, 2025, the Corporation had total assets of $2.23 billion, up 9.9%; total loans of $1.46 billion, up 5.7%; total deposits of $1.90 billion, up 8.1%; and total stockholders’ equity of $139.5 million, up 10.7%, from balances at June 30, 2024. The Corporation’s earnings, net of dividends paid, as well as the improved valuation of the investment portfolio positively impacted the level of stockholders’ equity. The changes in unrealized gains and losses on investments impact capital on an ongoing basis and have improved since the devaluation that occurred during the dramatic increase in market interest rates during the last two years.
