First National Corporation reported record earnings for the second quarter of 2025, driven by the successful integration of the Touchstone franchise acquisition. The company achieved a net income of $5.05 million, with earnings per share increasing significantly compared to the previous quarter and year.
Key financial highlights include a 211% increase in earnings per share from the previous period and a 44% increase from a year prior. The return on average assets improved to 1.00%, while the return on average equity rose to 11.85%. The net interest margin increased to 3.95%, reflecting the benefits of acquisition-related adjustments. Additionally, noninterest income saw a boost due to higher ATM and check card income, and noninterest expenses decreased significantly due to reduced merger-related costs and other operational efficiencies.
The company’s balance sheet showed growth in total assets and deposits, largely attributed to the Touchstone acquisition. Despite a slight decrease in total deposits from the previous quarter, there was a notable year-over-year increase.
