Action:Reiterated
Date:08/18/26
The score is driven primarily by solid financial performance with strong cash conversion and healthy profitability, tempered by a sharp TTM revenue decline and higher leverage versus 2025. Technicals add support with an uptrend across moving averages and positive momentum, while valuation is favorable given the low P/E and dividend yield. Earnings call commentary was constructive but highlighted credit quality upticks and funding mix risks that keep the score from being higher.
Positive Factors
Core Deposit Franchise
Growth in core and noninterest-bearing deposits provides a more stable funding base and lowers funding costs. This supports net interest margins, improves customer retention, and reduces reliance on rate-sensitive or wholesale funding over time.
Negative Factors
Revenue Growth Pressure
The sharp top-line contraction indicates pressure from rates, loan volumes, or other banking activities. Although efficiency and income mix have supported profit, prolonged revenue weakness could eventually reduce operating leverage and earnings quality.

Landmark Bancorp Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Jul 29, 2026
(Q2-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Nov 04, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presented a majority of positive operating and financial developments: record revenue, higher EPS, YoY margin improvement, core deposit growth, targeted loan growth, strengthened capital and continued dividend discipline. The main negatives are a modest rise in nonperforming loans driven by two specific relationships, a small increase in net charge-offs, a sequential decline in total deposits driven by intentional reduction of brokered CDs (offset by core deposit growth), one-time professional and fraud-related costs, and minor sequential margin pressure. Management characterized the outlook as cautiously optimistic and emphasized disciplined, relationship-based growth and investments in talent.Positive Updates
Record Revenue and Improved Profitability
Second quarter revenue reached a record $19.2 million; net income was $5.4 million (up from $5.1M in Q1); diluted earnings per share rose to $0.88. Return on average assets improved to 1.35% and return on average equity increased to 13.23%.
Negative Updates
Increase in Nonperforming Loans / Nonaccruals
Nonperforming loans rose $2.7 million during the quarter to $13.1 million, representing 1.18% of gross loans (up from 0.94% at March 31). The increase was largely driven by two borrower relationships (one agricultural, one commercial) that migrated to nonaccrual status.

Company Guidance
Management was "cautiously optimistic" on second‑half 2026 growth while prioritizing disciplined balance‑sheet and funding actions: they expect to build on Q2 loan gains (gross loans ~$1.1B, +$4.4M Q/Q; avg loans -$3.2M Q/Q) while managing credit (nonperforming loans $13.1M, 1.18% of gross loans; 30–89 day delinquencies $6.3M, 0.57%; annualized net charge‑offs ~0.17%; allowance $12.7M, 1.15%; $500k provision). They indicated NIM can be maintained near the low‑4% area (Q2 tax‑equivalent NIM 4.22%, -2 bps Q/Q, +39 bps Y/Y) aided by investment yields (investment yield 3.66%, investment income $3.1M), loan portfolio yield (~6.31%) and reinvestment opportunities (avg duration 4.2 years; 12‑month cash flow $78.6M at <3% roll‑off). Funding and liquidity will lean away from brokered CDs (total deposits $1.3B, -$17.7M Q/Q; brokered CDs down ~$28.8M) toward FHLB/borrowings (total borrowings +$15.7M) while growing core deposits (+$11.0M; core annualized linked growth 3.4%; noninterest‑bearing deposits 29.2% of total; deposit cost 1.3%; avg rate on interest‑bearing deposits 1.82%). Management also emphasized capital and shareholder continuity (tangible book $21.76/sh, linked quarter annualized growth 16.8%; tangible common equity/assets 8.44%; book value $27.35/sh; equity $166.9M) and continued the $0.21 quarterly dividend (100th consecutive).Landmark Bancorp Financial Statement Overview
