"The first half of 2025 has provided strong results. The second quarter provided a record high quarterly net income along with expansion in net interest income. The quarter reflects our strategic approach to driving a higher return on assets," said Joe Dively, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Along with significant expansion of our net interest margin, we delivered growth in both loans and deposits."
"I am pleased with our execution on our strategic plan and while the macro-economic environment continues to fluctuate, we continue to focus on what we can control by maintaining our disciplined credit culture. We continue to make investments in our technology platforms that will position us well for future growth," Dively concluded.
Net Interest Income Net interest income for the second quarter of 2025 was $63.9 million, an increase of $4.5 million, or 7.5% compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily the result of higher yields on earning assets while maintaining funding costs. The increase in interest income included $0.5 million in higher accretion income, which totaled $3.4 million compared to $2.9 million of accretion income in the first quarter.
In comparison to the second quarter of 2024, net interest income increased $7.1 million, or 12.5%. Interest income was higher by $4.7 million, inclusive of a decrease in accretion income of $0.3 million compared to the second quarter last year. Interest expense was lower by $2.4 million compared to the second quarter of last year.
Net Interest MarginNet interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis*, was 3.72% for the second quarter of 2025 representing an increase of 12 basis points over the prior quarter, driven by both an increase to earning asset yields and maintaining funding costs. Excluding the increase in accretion income, the net interest margin increased 9 basis points in the period.
Loan Portfolio
Total loans ended the quarter at $5.77 billion, representing an increase of $68.1 million, or 1.2%, from the prior quarter. The increase was well diversified and included construction and land development, farm real estate, 1–4 family residential real estate, multi-family residential real estate, agriculture operating lines, and commercial and industrial loans. Commercial real estate and consumer loans saw modest declines in the quarter.
In comparison to the second quarter of last year, loan balances increased $206.4 million, or 3.7%. The largest increases were in construction and land development, agriculture operating lines, and commercial and industrial loans.
Asset Quality The second quarter was another solid performance with respect to the Company's asset quality metrics. The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") ended the period at $71.2 million and the ACL to total loans ratio was 1.23%. In addition to the ACL, an unearned discount of $28.7 million remains at quarter end. Provision expense was recorded in the amount of $2.6 million with net charge-offs of $1.5 million in the quarter. Also, at the end of the second quarter, the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.38%, the ACL to non-performing loans ratio was 325%, and the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.31%. During the quarter, nonperforming loans declined by $4.7 million to $21.9 million. Special mention loans increased by $7.8 million to $81.8 million and substandard loans increased $5.1 million to $39.0 million.
DepositsTotal deposits ended the quarter at $6.19 billion, which represented an increase of $59.8 million, or 0.98%, from the prior quarter. Interest bearing demand deposits, money market accounts, and time deposits were the primary drivers of the increase.
Noninterest IncomeNoninterest income for the second quarter of 2025 was $23.6 million compared to $24.9 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decline was primarily driven by seasonality in the wealth management and insurance business lines. Wealth management revenues for the quarter were $5.4 million, which is in line with the second quarter of 2024. Insurance revenues for the quarter were $7.8 million, up $1.3 million from the second quarter of 2024. Overall Ag Services revenue was $2.3 million in the period. Debit card fee income was boosted in the quarter by our annual incentive of $1.0 million from our service provider.
In comparison to the second quarter of 2024, noninterest income increased $1.2 million, or 5.2%, primarily driven by insurance commissions from both organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
Noninterest ExpensesNoninterest expense for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $54.8 million compared to $54.5 million in the prior quarter. The current quarter included $0.2 million of nonrecurring expenses primarily related to the Company's technology initiatives, versus $1.0 million in nonrecurring costs in the prior quarter. The quarter over quarter increase is primarily driven by an increase in salaries and employee benefits. This resulted from annual salary increases and higher incentive compensation from overall performance compared to budget.
In comparison to the second quarter of 2024, noninterest expenses increased $3.4 million. The increase was primarily driven by annual compensation increases and incentive accrual for overperformance compared to budget.
The Company's efficiency ratio, as adjusted in the non-GAAP reconciliation table herein, for the second quarter 2025 was 58.09% compared to 58.88% in the prior quarter and 59.61% for the same period last year.
Capital Levels and DividendThe Company's capital levels remained strong and above the "well capitalized" levels. Capital levels ended the period as follows:
Total capital to risk-weighted assets
15.76%
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets
13.31%
Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets
12.92%
Leverage ratio
10.73%
Tangible book value per share* increased $1.09, or 4.3% during the second quarter of 2025. The increase was driven primarily by earnings growth, which accounted for $0.90 of the increase. The remaining increase of $0.19 was the result of improvement in accumulated other comprehensive income from a lower unrealized loss position in the investment portfolio.
The Company's Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend to $0.25 payable on August 29, 2025, for shareholders of record on August 15, 2025.
