Farmers National Banc Corp. (“Farmers” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FMNB) today reported net income of $13.6 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $11.2 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024. Net income for the first quarter of 2025 included pretax losses on the sale of investments securities and other assets totaling $1.3 million. Excluding these items (non-GAAP), net income for the first quarter of 2025 was $14.6 million, or $0.39 per diluted share.
Kevin J. Helmick, President and CEO, stated “We entered 2025 from a position of strength with a legacy of profitability, strong asset quality and robust liquidity levels. As near-term economic uncertainty has picked up recently, we are well positioned to support our Ohio and Pennsylvania communities, while making strategic investments across our business and adding proven bankers to our team. The most recent of those strategic investments is the Company’s exciting entrance into the growth market of greater Columbus.”
Balance Sheet
Total assets increased by $38.1 million in the first quarter of 2025 to $5.16 billion from $5.12 billion at December 31, 2024. Loans declined slightly to $3.25 billion at March 31, 2025 from $3.27 billion at December 31, 2024. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily due to declines in C&I and CRE lending as rising business uncertainty has reduced origination activity. The pipeline for the second quarter currently shows improvement but the introduction of tariffs adds more uncertainty to the decision making of borrowers.
The Company had securities available for sale totaling $1.28 billion as of March 31, 2025, compared to $1.27 billion at December 31, 2024. Net unrealized losses on the portfolio totaled $223.7 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $244.1 million at December 31, 2024. The Company also restructured $23.8 million of available for sale securities and reinvested the proceeds into securities with yields approximately 260 basis points higher than those sold. The earn back on the $1.3 million loss that was incurred on the sale is approximately 2.2 years. The Company anticipates continued volatility in the bond market in 2025.
Total deposits increased to $4.48 billion at March 31, 2025, from $4.27 billion at December 31, 2024. This $214.5 million increase was driven by an increase of $85.0 million in brokered CDs along with an increase in customer deposits of $129.5 million. The majority of the increase in customer deposits was driven by seasonal growth in public funds which totaled $106.3 million for the quarter.
Total stockholders’ equity increased to $429.1 million at March 31, 2025, from $406.0 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was due to a reduction in the unrealized losses on investments securities of $16.0 million along with an increase in retained earnings of $7.2 million due to $13.6 million of net income recognized during the quarter offset by dividends paid on outstanding common shares.
Credit Quality
Non-performing loans declined to $20.7 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $22.8 million at December 31, 2024. The Company continues to actively manage its level of non-performing loans and designated a single non-performing loan relationship totaling $1.8 million to “loans held for sale” during the first quarter of 2025. The Company expects a sale of the relationship to close in the second quarter of 2025. Non-performing loans to total loans were 0.64% at March 31, 2025, compared to 0.70% at December 31, 2024. The Company’s loans which were 30-89 days delinquent were $11.2 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $13.0 million at December 31, 2024, or 0.34% of total loans at March 31, 2025.
The Company’s provision for credit losses and unfunded commitments was a recovery of $204,000 for the first quarter of 2025 compared to a recovery of $449,000 for the first quarter of 2024. The recovery in the first quarter of 2025 was driven primarily by a recovery related to the provision for unfunded commitments. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.04% for the first quarter of 2025, compared to 0.13% for the first quarter of 2024. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.09% at March 31, 2025, compared to 1.10% at December 31, 2024.
Net Interest Income
The Company recorded $34.2 million in net interest income in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $31.7 million in the first quarter of 2024. Average interest earning assets increased to $4.89 billion in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $4.80 billion in the first quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in average loan balances of $80.6 million. The net interest margin improved to 2.85% in the first quarter of 2025 from 2.70% in the first quarter of 2024. The year-over-year increase in net interest margin was due to higher yields on earning assets and lower funding costs on interest bearing liabilities. The current rate cutting cycle by the Federal Reserve that began in September of 2024 has had a significant impact on funding costs while the lag effects of assets repricing continue to drive earning asset yields higher. The yield on interest earning assets increased from 4.65% in the first quarter of 2024 to 4.74% in the first quarter of 2025 with both loans and securities showing increased yields. Interest bearing liabilities declined from 2.61% in the first quarter of 2024 to 2.52% in the first quarter of 2025. The Company expects its net interest margin will continue to expand in 2025 but the degree of expansion will depend on future Federal Reserve cuts to the fed funds rate. Excluding acquisition marks and PPP interest, non-GAAP, the Company’s net interest margin was 2.67% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2.50% in the first quarter of 2024.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased from $8.4 million in the first quarter of 2024 to $10.5 million in the first quarter of 2025 due to improved profitability across all fee based lines of business and a lower level of losses on the sale of available for sale securities. Service charge income on deposit accounts increased $175,000 to $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $1.6 million for the first quarter in 2024. The Company undertook a review of all service charges in late 2023 and early 2024 and implemented fee increases across deposit product lines in the second quarter of 2024. Bank owned life insurance income increased $103,000 during the first quarter of 2025 to $810,000 compared to $707,000 in the first quarter of 2024. The Company purchased an additional $15.0 million in policies during the first quarter of 2025 and policy crediting rates have increased over the last twelve months. Trust fees increased to $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase was due to continued growth in the business unit. Insurance agency commissions increased to $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2025 from $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2024. Annuity sales continue to drive growth. Losses on the sale of available for sale securities declined to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2025 from a loss of $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2024. The bank restructured $23.8 million at the end of the first quarter of 2025 resulting in the loss realized on the sale. Retirement plan consulting fees increased to $798,000 in the first quarter of 2025 from $617,000 in the first quarter of 2024 primarily due to the acquisition of Crest Retirement Advisors LLC in late December of 2024. Debit card income grew from $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2024 to $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2025 as better volumes were realized in the current period.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense increased to $28.5 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $27.0 million in the first quarter of 2024. Salaries and employee benefits increased to $16.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, from $15.1 million for the first quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by annual raises, the acquisition of Crest Retirement in the fourth quarter of 2024 and higher commission expense from increased revenue in the fee-based businesses. Occupancy and equipment expense increased to $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2025 from $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2024 due to increased maintenance costs in 2025, the result of more severe winter weather along with timing differences. Core processing expense increased $262,000 from the first quarter of 2024 to $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was due to annual increases and timing differences. Other noninterest expense declined to $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2025 from $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2024. Several categories of expense showed declines as the Company continues to implement various cost saving initiatives.
Liquidity
The Company had access to an additional $749.3 million in FHLB borrowing capacity at March 31, 2025, along with $319.8 million in available for sale securities that are available for pledging. The Company’s loan to deposit ratio was 72.6% at March 31, 2025 while the Company’s average deposit balance per account (excluding collateralized deposits) was $25,741 for the same period.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
We make statements in this news release and our related investor conference call, and we may from time to time make other statements, that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements about Farmers’ financial condition, results of operations, asset quality trends and profitability. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent only management’s current expectations and forecasts regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of Farmers’ control. Forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends” and similar expressions, as well as any statements related to future expectations of performance or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could” or “may.” Farmers’ actual results and financial condition may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause Farmers’ actual results to differ materially from those described in certain forward-looking statements include significant changes in near-term local, regional, and U.S. economic conditions including those resulting from continued high rates of inflation, tightening monetary policy of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, U.S. and foreign country tariff policies, and possibility of a recession; and the other factors contained in Farmers’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and available on Farmers’ website (www.farmersbankgroup.com) and on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).
