“The second quarter of 2025 was another strong quarter of growth, profitability and value creation for Middlefield,” stated Ronald L. Zimmerly, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer. “Total loans have increased at an 8.2% annualized rate since the beginning of the year to a record $1.58 billion, asset quality continued to improve sequentially, and our net interest margin for the second quarter of 2025 expanded 37 basis points year-over-year to 3.88%.  These results led to strong growth in profitability during the quarter.  Net income also benefited from a $1.2 million net gain on the exchange of real estate associated with the relocation of our Westerville, Ohio branch.  Relocating our Westerville office is a great opportunity, supported by favorable demographics and underscores our multi-year strategy to expand our presence in the Central Ohio region. We expect our new Westerville branch to open in the second half of 2025.”

 

 

 

 

“I am pleased by the strong start to 2025 and the direction we are headed.  We remain focused on investing in our platform, which includes upgrades to our technology infrastructure, adding new, experienced commercial bankers, and pursuing opportunities to expand Middlefield across our compelling Ohio markets.  As a result of these efforts and the contributions of our high-performing team, we expect additional loan and core deposit growth to benefit profitability throughout the remainder of 2025,” concluded Mr. Zimmerly.

 

Income Statement

Net interest income for the 2025 second quarter increased 15.6% to $17.4 million, compared to $15.1 million for the 2024 second quarter. The net interest margin for the 2025 second quarter was 3.88%, compared to 3.51% for the same period of 2024. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2025increased 11.6% to $33.5 million, compared to $30.1 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to strong loan growth, a decrease in FHLB advances, and an overall decline in rates for deposits. Net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was 3.79%, compared to 3.53% last year. 

 

Noninterest income for the 2025 second quarter was $3.1 million, compared to $1.8 million for the same period the previous year. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, noninterest income increased $1.5 million to $5.0 million, compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2024.  In April 2025, Middlefield completed an exchange of real estate with the City of Westerville, Ohio for a parcel of land that had a fair value of $1.5 million. In exchange, Middlefield transferred land and a building with related furnishings associated with its current branch located in Westerville, Ohio. The transferred branch had a net book value of $221,000. The exchange of real estate transaction resulted in a one-time, non-cash gain of $1.2 million.

 

For the 2025 second quarter, noninterest expense was $13.7 million, compared to $11.9 million for the 2024 second quarter. Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $25.8 million, compared to $23.9 million for the same period in 2024. Noninterest expense for the 2025 second quarter included a $700,000 loss associated with recording a separate property located in Westerville, Ohio as held for sale.     

 

Net income for the 2025 second quarter was $6.2 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, compared to $4.2 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $11.0 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, compared to $8.3 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, for the same period last year. 

 

For the 2025 second quarter, pre-tax, pre-provision net income was $6.9 million, compared to $4.9 million for the same period of 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, pre-tax, pre-provision net income was $12.7 million, compared to $9.7 million for the same period last year.  (See non-GAAP reconciliation under the section “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations”.)

 

Balance Sheet

Total assets at June 30, 2025, increased 5.3% to a record $1.92 billion, compared to $1.83 billion at June 30, 2024. Total loans at June 30, 2025, were a record $1.58 billion, compared to $1.50 billion at June 30, 2024. The 5.6% year-over-year increase in total loans was primarily due to higher home equity lines of credit, commercial and industrial loans, residential real estate loans, non-owner occupied, and owner occupied loans, partially offset by a reduction in construction and other loans and multifamily loans.

 

The investment securities available-for-sale portfolio was $161.1 million at June 30, 2025, compared with $166.4 million at June 30, 2024.

 

Total liabilities at June 30, 2025, increased 5.4% to $1.71 billion, compared to $1.62 billion at June 30, 2024. Total deposits at June 30, 2025, were $1.59 billion, compared to $1.47 billion at June 30, 2024. The 8.4% year-over-year increase in deposits was primarily due to growth in money market and interest-bearing demand deposits, partially offset by declines in savings deposit accounts. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits were 24.2% of total deposits at June 30, 2025, compared to 26.3% at June 30, 2024. At June 30, 2025, the Company had brokered deposits of $165.1 million, compared to $86.5 million at June 30, 2024.

 

 


 

Michael C. Ranttila, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “Middlefield’s highly profitable financial model, disciplined loan pricing, and strong liquidity levels provides us with the flexibility to support both loan and operational growth. We continue to monitor our funding mix to support our loan portfolio at a reasonable cost, and such actions contributed to a seven-basis point reduction in our cost of funds since the beginning of the year.  Throughout the second half of 2025, we are focused on growing core deposits by improving the mix of commercial and industrial loans and growing treasury management relationships.”

Stockholders' Equity and Dividends

At June 30, 2025, stockholders' equity was $216.1 million, compared to $206.8 million at June 30, 2024. The 4.5% year-over-year increase in stockholders' equity was primarily from higher retained earnings, partially offset by an increase in the unrealized losses on the available-for-sale investment portfolio. On a per-share basis, shareholders' equity at June 30, 2025, was $26.74, compared to $25.63 at June 30, 2024.

 

At June 30, 2025, tangible stockholders' equity(1) was $174.6 million, compared to $164.3 million at June 30, 2024. On a per-share basis, tangible stockholders' equity(1) was $21.60 at June 30, 2025, compared to $20.37 at June 30, 2024. (1)See non-GAAP reconciliation under the section “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations”.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company declared cash dividends of $0.42 per share, totaling $3.4 million. Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, the Company increased the quarterly cash dividend by $0.01, or 5% from the previous year's $0.20 per share quarterly cash dividend.  

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock.  

 

At June 30, 2025, the Company's equity-to-assets ratio was 11.23%, compared to 11.31% at June 30, 2024.

 

Asset Quality

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a recovery of credit losses of $506,000, compared to a recovery of credit losses of $87,000 for the same period of 2024.  

 

Net recoveries were $18,000, or (0.03%) of average loans, annualized, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net recoveries of $29,000, or (0.01%) of average loans, annualized, for the same period of 2024.      

 

Nonperforming loans at June 30, 2025, were $25.1 million, compared to $16.0 million at June 30, 2024. The year-over-year increase in nonperforming assets was primarily due to a $12.0 million loan moved to nonaccrual in the 2024 third quarter. The allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2025, stood at $22.3 million, or 1.41% of total loans, compared to $21.8 million, or 1.46% of total loans at June 30, 2024. The increase in the allowance for credit losses was mainly from changes in projected loss drivers, prepayment assumptions, curtailment expectations over the reasonable and supportable forecast period, and geographic footprint of unemployment data, as well as an overall increase in total loans.

 

Mr. Ranttila continued, “Asset quality demonstrates the success of our disciplined approach to credit quality and risk management, as nonperforming assets to total assets have improved to 1.30% at June 30, 2025, compared to 1.56% at March 31, 2025, and 1.62% at December 31, 2024.  Over the past six months, non-performing assets declined by $4.9 million from $30.0 million at December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of the successful payoff of one previously disclosed non-accruing loan.  In addition, reductions in the reserve against individually analyzed loans as well as the reserve for unfunded commitments drove a $506,000 recovery for credit losses in the second quarter. We continue to expect stable economic activity across our Central, Western and Northeast Ohio markets that will support loan demand and asset quality throughout 2025.”
