Exhibit 99.1
Press Release – For Immediate Release
Friday, July 18, 2025
Mifflinburg Bancorp, Inc., Reports Second Quarter 2025 Earnings
Mifflinburg, PA – Mifflinburg Bancorp, Inc. (“Company”) (OTCID: MIFF), parent company of Mifflinburg Bank and Trust Company (“Bank”), has released its unaudited consolidated financial statements for the second quarter of 2025.
Financial Results
Net income, as reported under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), for the quarter-ended June 30, 2025 was $1,820,000 compared to $1,323,000 for the same period in 2024, a 37.6% increase. Net income year-to-date for 2025 was $3,626,000 compared to $2,679,000 for the same period in 2024, a 35.3% increase. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters-ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $0.98 and $0.71, respectively. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.20% and 12.37% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to 0.93% and 9.68% for the same period of 2024.
Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $5.0 million compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2024, a 24.0% increase. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $9.7 million compared to $7.9 million for the same period in 2024, a 23.9% increase. The significant increase in net interest income is primarily driven by loan growth of 7.2% year-to-date for 2025, compared to loan growth of 4.2% year-to-date for the same period in 2024 and by market interest rates starting to decline thus slowing the increase in cost of funds. Yield on earning assets increased 54 basis points, to 5.22% for the quarter-ended June 30, 2025 compared to the quarter-ended June 30, 2024, while the cost of funds increased 13 basis points, to 2.36%, as compared to the same time period in 2024. The net interest margin increased from 2.96% for the quarter-ended June 30, 2024 to 3.41% for the quarter-ended June 30, 2025.
The Bank recorded a provision for credit losses of $192,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, offset by a $36,000 reduction in the unfunded commitment reserve. The Bank recorded a provision for credit losses of $262,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, offset by a $100,000 reduction in the unfunded commitment reserve. The Bank recorded a provision for credit losses of $30,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $527,000 compared to $415,000 for the same period in 2024, a 27.0% increase. The increase in non-interest income is primarily the result of a $73,000 decrease in net marketable equity security losses. Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1.1 million compared to $1 million for the same period in 2024, a 12.6% increase. The increase in non-interest income year-to-date is primarily the result of a $52,000 gain on sale of premises and a $44,000 increase on service charges.
Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $3.1 million compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2024, a 10.1% increase. The increase in non-interest expense is primarily the result of an increase of $118,000 in salaries and employee benefits and merger expenses totaling $85,000 that were recorded in the second quarter of 2025. Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $6.2 million compared to $5.7 million for the same period in 2024, a 10.0% increase. The increase in non-interest expense year-to-date is primarily the result of merger expenses totaling $248,000 that were recorded in the first half of 2025 and an increase of $162,000 in salaries and employee benefits.
An income tax provision of $407,000 was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to an income tax provision of $238,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a 71.0% increase. An income tax provision of $827,000 was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to an income tax provision of $469,000 for the same period in 2024, a 76.3% increase. The increase in the tax provision is primarily the result of non-deductible merger expenses and by tax-exempt interest income representing a smaller percentage of total interest income and increased pre-tax income compared to the same time periods in the prior year.
Financial Condition
Total assets increased to $629.2 million as of June 30, 2025 from $596.7 million as of December 31, 2024, an increase of 5.5%. Cash and cash equivalents increased $11.8 million from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025. Net loans increased by $31.0 million, or 7.2%, offset by securities available for sale decreasing $8.9 million and by interest-bearing time deposits decreasing $1.7 million from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025. Total deposits increased $25.1 million from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $4.0 million from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025.
When compared to December 31, 2024, stockholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss, increased $2.3 million to $62.6 million as of June 30, 2025.
