JENNINGS, LA / ACCESS Newswire / July 24, 2025 / JD Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company"), (OTCQX:JDVB), the parent holding company of JD Bank (the "Bank"), reports its unaudited financial results for the three and six- month periods ended June 30, 2025.

Net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 is $2,721,225 or $0.79 per common share compared to $2,925,651 or $0.85 per common share for the linked quarter ended March 31, 2025 and $3,028,833 or $0.88 per share for the prior year quarter ended June 30, 2024. Pre-tax, pre-provision operating income (PTPPOI) for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 is $3,637,450 compared to $3,612,441 for the linked quarter and $3,951,414 for the prior year quarter. PTPPOI excludes taxes, provision for credit losses, net losses on the sale of other real estate owned (OREO), net losses on the sale of investment securities and other non-recurring expense items. The $25,000 increase in the current quarter PTPPOI compared to the linked quarter is due to a $654,000 increase in net interest income and a $135,000 increase in recurring non-interest income, partially offset by a $764,000 increase in recurring non-interest expense. The $314,000 decrease between current and prior year PTPPOI is due to a $569,000 increase in net interest income, offset by a $60,000 decrease in recurring non-interest income and an increase in recurring non-interest expenses of $823,000.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, net income is $5,852,233 or $1.71 per share compared to $6,681,230 or $1.95 per share for the prior year comparative period. PTPPOI for the current six-month period is $7,455,493 compared to $7,660,660 for the prior year period. The $205,000 decrease is primarily due to a $611,000 increase in net interest income, offset by a $133,000 decrease in recurring noninterest income, and a $683,000 increase in noninterest expenses.

Paul E. Brummett, II CEO, commented, "I am pleased to report the quarterly earnings and continued momentum for the Company. We experienced growth in loans and deposits while our net interest margin continued to improve. Asset quality is very solid as past dues continued to decline for the current period. As we look forward, our strong capital, disciplined credit culture and outstanding team have the Company well positioned for the future."

Asset Quality

Loans past due 30 to 89 days are $1.4 million representing 0.18% of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2025 compared to $3.1 million or 0.42% at December 31, 2024. Total nonperforming assets, including loans on non-accrual status, OREO and repossessed assets were flat at $7.6 million at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Loans currently in non-accrual status increased slightly to $5.5 million from $5.4 million at year-end 2024 and OREO is currently $2.1 million compared to $2.2 million for the same period. Repossessed assets were $39,000 at June 30, 2025 with none reported at December 31, 2024. Management performs a quarterly evaluation of OREO properties and believes their adjusted carrying values are representative of their fair market values, although there is no assurance that the ultimate sales will be equal or greater than the carrying values.

Provision for credit losses is $310,000 for the current quarter compared to $35,000 for the linked quarter and $156,000 for the prior year quarter. The Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL) is $9.5 million at June 30, 2025 or 1.24% of total loans compared to $9.1 million at December 31, 2024 or 1.26% of total loans. The Bank recognized net recoveries in the current quarter of $31,000 compared to net charge-offs of $26,000 for the linked quarter and $2,000 for the prior year quarter. There are net recoveries of $4,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 and net charge-offs of $80,000 for the prior year six-month period. Management believes the current level of ACL is adequate; however, there is no assurance that regulators, increased risks in the loan portfolio or changes in economic conditions will not require future adjustments to the ACL.

Net Interest Income

For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, net interest income is $11.5 million, reflecting a $654,000 increase over the $10.8 million for the linked quarter and a $569,000 increase compared to the $10.9 million reported for the prior year quarter. When comparing the current quarter's net interest income to the linked quarter and the prior year quarter, the favorable impact on interest income was due to higher volume and higher yields on average earning assets which outpaced the increase in total interest-bearing liabilities.

Total interest income for the current quarter is $15.0 million compared to $14.3 million for the linked quarter and $14.2 million for the prior year quarter. Interest income on loans for the current quarter is $12.5 million, reflecting a $810,000 increase compared to the linked quarter and a $1.2 million increase over the prior year quarter. Average loans outstanding are $749.9 million, $725.4 million and $710.8 million for the current, linked, and prior year quarters, respectively. The average yield on the loan portfolio for the three comparative quarters is 6.71%, 6.56% and 6.40%, respectively. Interest income from other earning assets is $2.4 million for Q2 2025, reflecting decreases from the $2.6 million recorded in Q1 2025 and the $2.9 million in Q2 2024. The decline in interest income from other earning assets was due primarily to decreases in the volume of earning assets. The overall yield on earning assets is 5.31%, 5.13% and 5.07% for the three comparative quarters, respectively.

Total interest expense is $3.5 million for the current and linked quarters and $3.3 million in the prior year quarter. The $184,000 increase in interest expense between the current and prior year quarter is attributed to a $16.7 million increase in the average interest-bearing liabilities outstanding as well as a 6-basis point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities is 1.63% for the current and linked quarters compared to 1.58% for the prior year quarter. When taking into account the effect of noninterest-bearing deposits, the cost of total funds is 1.28% for the current quarter, 1.29% for the linked quarter and 1.21% for the prior year quarter.

The net interest margin is 4.08% in the current quarter compared to 3.89% for the linked quarter and 3.90% for the prior year quarter. The increase in the yield on earning assets more than offset the increase in cost of funds between the first and second quarters of 2025 and between the current and prior year quarters.

Net interest income is $22.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, compared to $21.7 million for the prior year period ended June 30, 2024. Net interest margin for the current six-month period is 3.99% compared to 3.90% for the comparative 2024 period. The total yield on earning assets increased to 5.22% from 5.03% due to increases in both yield and volume of loans outstanding. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 1.63% from 1.52% and the overall cost of funds increased to 1.29% from 1.17%.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income is $2.8 million for the current quarter, up $139,000 from $2.6 million for the linked quarter and flat compared to the $2.8 million for the prior year quarter. Service charges and fees associated with deposits accounted for the largest category of noninterest income and are $2.1 million in the current quarter, $2.0 million in the linked quarter and $2.2 million in the prior year quarter. Interchange revenue from debit card usage remains relatively stable at $1.2 million for the current and prior year quarter and $1.1 million for the linked quarter. NSF fees totaled $638,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to $661,000 for the linked quarter and $722,000 for the prior year quarter. Service charges on deposit accounts remain relatively constant at $190,000, $198,000 and $213,000 for the three comparative periods, respectively.

Revenue from the sale of mortgage loans is $88,000 for the current quarter compared to $86,000 for the linked quarter and $124,000 for the prior year quarter. Recent inflation data, while not yet indicating a rate cut, suggests the Federal Reserve may remain cautious about easing monetary policy, which could keep mortgage rates elevated.

Other noninterest income is $621,000 for the current quarter, $526,000 for the linked quarter and $534,000 for the prior year quarter. The largest components of other noninterest income are revenues from trust services and wealth management. The total of these two revenue streams is $365,000, $294,000 and $288,000 for the three periods, respectively.

Noninterest income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 is $5.4 million reflecting a slight decrease from the $5.5 million for the prior year six-month period. Comparedto the prior year, service charges and fees on deposit accounts are $4.1 million, reflecting a $233,000 decrease, gains on the sale of mortgage loans are $173,000, reflecting a $19,000 decrease and other non-interest income is $1.1 million, reflecting a $117,000 increase.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense is $10.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to $9.9 million for the linked and prior year quarters. Salary and employee benefit expenses for the current quarter are $6.1 million and $5.5 million for the linked quarter and the prior year quarters. The $539,000 or 9.8% increase between the current and linked quarter is associated with annual merit increases which are effective April 1 of each year and with grant awards pursuant to our 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The $566,000 or 10.3% increase between the current and prior year is attributed to annual merit increases, health insurance premium increases and increases associated with grant awards.

Occupancy expenses are $1.4 million for the current quarter, $1.5 million for the linked quarter, and $1.3 million for the prior year quarter. Advertising and public relations expenses are $375,000, $364,000 and $398,000 for the three comparative quarters, respectively. Data processing expenses are $1.1 million in the current and linked quarters, reflecting an increase of $105,000 compared to the prior year quarter.

Other noninterest expenses are $1.7 million for Q2 2025 and Q2 2024, and $1.5 million for Q1 2025. The largest components of noninterest expenses are comprised of professional fees, accruals for ad valorem taxes, fraud and other losses, FDIC insurance assessments and telecommunication expenses. The increase between the current and linked quarters is primarily due to an increase in expenses associated with professional fees of $169,000 and fraud and other losses of $82,000. Non-recurring expenses associated with OREO losses amounted to $52,000 in the current quarter, $97,000 in the linked quarter and $178,000 in the prior year quarter.

Total noninterest expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 are $20.3 million, up $637,000 or 3.2% from $19.7 million for the prior year period. Increases in salaries and employee benefits of $576,000, occupancy expenses of $179,000 and advertising and public relations expenses of $7,000 are partially offset by declines in data processing fees of $83,000 and other non-interest expenses of $43,000. Non-recurring expenses for the two six-month periods include losses on OREO of $150,000 and $196,000 for the current and prior year periods, respectively.

Income tax expense is $558,000 for the current quarter compared to $554,000 for the linked quarter and $589,000 for the June 2024 quarter. The effective tax rate remains relatively constant over the three comparative periods at 17.0% in the current quarter, 15.9% for the linked quarter and 16.3% in the prior year quarter.
