Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year Earnings, Declares 61st Consecutive Quarterly Dividend and Special Dividend

Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:MPB) ("Mid Penn"), the parent company of Mid Penn Bank (the "Bank") and MPB Financial Services, LLC, today reported net income available to common shareholders ("earnings") for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, of $19.4 million, or $0.84 per basic and $0.83 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $18.3 million, or $0.80 per basic and $0.79 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2025, and the consensus analyst estimate of $0.84 per basic common share for the fourth quarter of 2025.

Key Highlights of the Fourth Quarter of 2025:

• Net income available to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $19.4 million, an increase of $6.2 million or 47.0% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, and an increase of $1.2 million, or 6.29%, compared to the third quarter of 2025. Earnings per basic share for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $0.84, and $0.83 per diluted common share, an increase from $0.72 per both basic and diluted common share in the fourth quarter of 2024, and an increase from $0.80 per basic share and 0.79 per diluted share for third quarter of 2025. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $56.2 million, or $2.59 per basic and $2.55 per diluted common share, compared to $49.4 million, or $2.90 per basic and diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net income was partially offset by a higher weighted-average number of shares outstanding in 2025, which contributed to a lower diluted earnings per share compared to the prior year.
  
  
  
  
• Net interest margin increased to 3.79% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to 3.60% for the third quarter of 2025, and 3.21% for the fourth quarter of 2024. This represents a 19 and 58 basis point ("bp") increase compared to the third quarter of 2025 and fourth quarter of 2024, respectively. That expansion was accomplished by continued improvement in deposit cost of funds and loan yields throughout the fourth quarter and over the last twelve months.
  
  
  
  
• Loan balances increased $41.7 million, or 3.4% (annualized), during the fourth quarter of 2025. Total loans increased $419.8 million, or 9.4%, to $4.9 billion at December 31, 2025, compared to $4.4 billion at December 31, 2024. Excluding the William Penn acquisition loans of $431.4 million, the organic loan portfolio as of December 31, 2025 declined $11.6 million or 0.3% from the year ended December 31, 2024.
  
  
  
  
• Deposits decreased $128.1 million, or 9.5% (annualized), during the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to a decrease of $106.9 million, or 7.8% (annualized), during the third quarter of 2025. The quarterly decrease was driven by a $93.7 million decrease in time deposits, a $32.0 million decrease in interest-bearing transaction accounts, and a $2.4 million decrease in noninterest-bearing accounts. Total deposits increased $524.7 million, or 11.2%, to $5.2 billion at December 31, 2025, compared to $4.7 billion at December 31, 2024. Excluding the William Penn acquisition deposits of $619.8 million, organic deposits decreased $95.0 million, or 2.0%, from December 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by a planned reduction of approximately $225 million in brokered certificates of deposit during the third and fourth quarters of 2025 in order to deploy excess liquidity and lower funding costs. Excluding brokered deposits, organic growth totaled $127.3 million or 10.8% (annualized).
  
  
  
  
• The core efficiency ratio⁽¹⁾ improved to 55.26% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 58.80% in the third quarter of 2025, and 63.94% in the fourth quarter of 2024. This improvement was driven by higher net interest income and disciplined management of noninterest expense following the William Penn acquisition.
  
  
  
  
• Book value per common share improved to $35.32 as of December 31, 2025, compared to $34.56 as of September 30, 2025, and $33.84 as of December 31, 2024. Tangible book value per common share ⁽¹⁾ was $28.76 as of December 31, 2025, compared to $27.96 and $26.90 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
  
  
  
  
• As a result of the foregoing, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.22 per common share, payable February 17, 2026, to shareholders of record as of February 6, 2026, and a special dividend of $0.05 per common share, payable February 17, 2026, to shareholders of record as of February 6, 2026.

Chair, President and CEO Rory G. Ritrievi provided the following statement:

"We are pleased to announce our fourth quarter of 2025 and full year 2025 results of operations to our shareholders.

The fourth quarter included a return to organic loan growth, improvement in asset quality, improvement in net interest margin and a disciplined approach to operating expense management.

For the full year, we improved profitability metrics through a solid performance in asset quality, a 58 basis point net interest margin expansion, a 19% increase in noninterest income growth and solid improvement in core operating expense management that led to an overall efficiency ratio for the year of 59.33%, a significant improvement over the 64.96% ratio for fiscal year 2024.

Based upon the foregoing, we are happy to announce a fourth quarter dividend of $0.22 per common share, payable February 17, 2026, to shareholders of record as of February 6, 2026, as well as a $0.05 special dividend, payable February 17, 2026, to shareholders of record as of February 6, 2026."

Net Interest Income

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, net interest income was $54.8 million, compared to net interest income of $53.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and $41.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 includes $3.7 million of loan accretion income related to prior acquisitions. This accretion reflects the recognition of fair value marks on acquired loans, which are accreted into interest income over the expected life of the assets. The tax-equivalent net interest margin for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was 3.79% compared to 3.60% and 3.21% for the third quarter of 2025 and fourth quarter of 2024, respectively, representing a 19 bp increase from the third quarter of 2025, and a 58 bp increase compared to the same period in 2024.

The yield on interest-earning assets increased to 5.86% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, from 5.81% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 5.67% for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase from the third quarter of 2025 was primarily due to higher average loan balances.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, net interest income increased 27.1% to $199.1 million compared to net interest income of $156.7 million for the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a $26.7 million increase in interest income on loans, a $5.8 million increase in interest income on investment securities, a $5.4 million increase in Federal Funds Sold, and a $10.2 million decrease in interest expense on short-term borrowings, partially offset by a $5.5 million increase in interest expense on deposits, compared to the same period of 2024.

Average Balances

Average balances for the year ended December 31, 2025 continue to be impacted by the William Penn acquisition given that the acquisition closed on April 30, 2025. Day one increases in loans, total assets, deposits, and total liabilities were $431.4 million, $727.7 million, $619.8 million, and $630.2 million, respectively.

Average loans increased $40.1 million to $4.8 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to $4.8 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and increased $402.9 million compared to $4.4 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

Average deposits were $5.3 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting a decrease of $177.5 million, or 3.2%, compared to total average deposits of $5.5 billion in the third quarter of 2025, and an increase of $602.7 million, or 12.9%, compared to total average deposits of $4.7 billion for the fourth quarter of 2024. The average cost of deposits was 2.24% for the fourth quarter of 2025, representing a 13 bp decrease and a 37 bp decrease from the third quarter of 2025 and the fourth quarter of 2024, respectively.

Cost of funds decreased to 2.26%, compared to 2.39% for the third quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting a reduction in higher-cost time deposit balances and the use of lower-cost alternative funding sources.

Asset Quality

The total benefit for credit losses, including benefit for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, was $839 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $405 thousand compared to the benefit for credit losses of $434 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and a $1.2 million decrease compared to the provision for credit losses of $333 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The quarter-over-quarter change in the benefit for credit losses was primarily driven by updates to the macroeconomic forecast, which reduced expected credit losses. Net charge offs for the three months ended December 31, 2025 were $466 thousand, or less than 0.01% of total average loans.

The provision for credit losses on loans was $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $545 thousand compared to the provision for credit losses of $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to reduced expected losses driven by updates to the macroeconomic forecast and lower loan balances as a result of an increase in observed prepayment speeds, partially offset by a $2.3 million reserve on non-PCD loans acquired through the William Penn acquisition. The benefit for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures was $301 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $628 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Allowance for credit losses - loans was 0.74%, 0.77%, and 0.80% of loans, net of unearned income at December 31, 2025, September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Total nonperforming assets were $30.8 million at December 31, 2025, compared to nonperforming assets of $27.3 million and $22.7 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The increase during the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily related to a single C&I relationship for $4.7 million, partially offset by the sale of one foreclosed commercial real estate property of $1.4 million. Delinquency, measured as loans past due 30 days or more, as a percentage of total loans was 0.69% at December 31, 2025, compared to 0.68% and 0.52% as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Capital

Shareholders' equity increased $17.7 million, or 2.23%, from $796.3 million as of September 30, 2025, to $814.1 million as of December 31, 2025. Retained earnings increased $14.4 million, or 7.0%, from $205.3 million as of September 30, 2025 to $219.7 million as of December 31, 2025. Regulatory capital ratios for both Mid Penn and the Bank indicate regulatory capital levels in excess of both the regulatory minimums and the levels necessary for the Bank to be considered "well capitalized" at December 31, 2025. Additionally, Mid Penn declared $5.1 million in dividends during the fourth quarter of 2025.

On April 23, 2025, Mid Penn's Board of Directors reauthorized its treasury stock repurchase program ("the Program") effective through April 30, 2026. The Program authorizes the repurchase of up to $15.0 million of Mid Penn's outstanding common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2025, Mid Penn repurchased 79,169 shares of common stock at an average price of $28.50. As of December 31, 2025, Mid Penn repurchased a total of 519,891 shares of common stock at an average price of $23.65 per share under the Program. The Program had approximately $2.7 million remaining available for repurchase as of December 31, 2025.

Noninterest Income

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, noninterest income totaled $7.3 million, a decrease of $906 thousand, or 11.1%, compared to noninterest income of $8.2 million for the third quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a $461 thousand decrease in mortgage banking, and a $580 thousand decrease in other noninterest income, largely reflecting a decrease of $534 thousand in recoveries on loans previously acquired in business combinations, which are recognized in noninterest income, rather than a reduction to the allowance for credit losses, consistent with purchase accounting treatment. This decrease also includes a $420 thousand reduction in gains related to the closing of an investment in a reinsurance entity acquired from another institution, and a $279 thousand decrease in swap cancellation gains tied to the elimination of brokered deposits, partially offset by a $355 thousand increase in sales tax refunds received.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, noninterest income totaled $26.8 million, an increase of $4.3 million, or 19.3%, compared to noninterest income of $22.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in noninterest income is primarily driven by a $838 thousand increase in earnings from the cash surrender value of life insurance, a $618 thousand increase in fiduciary and wealth management, a $356 thousand increase in mortgage banking, and a $2.2 million increase in other noninterest income, driven by a $1.1 million increase in insurance commissions, a $910 thousand increase in loan level swap fees, and a $534 thousand increase in recoveries on loans previously acquired in business combinations, which are recognized in noninterest income, rather than a reduction to the allowance for credit losses, consistent with purchase accounting treatment. This increase also includes a $420 thousand gain on the closing of an investment in a reinsurance entity acquired from another institution, a $307 thousand increase in sales tax refunds received, and $279 thousand in swap cancellation gains tied to eliminated brokered deposits, partially offset by a $2.2 million decrease in death benefits received.

Noninterest Expense

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, noninterest expense totaled $35.8 million, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 5.62%, compared to noninterest expense of $38.0 million in the third quarter of 2025.

The decrease was primarily driven by a $915 thousand decrease in salaries and employee benefits, including a $439 thousand decrease in stock-based compensation expense, a $761 thousand decrease in Shares tax and a $929 thousand decrease in other noninterest expense, offset by a $624 thousand increase in FDIC assessments.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, noninterest expense totaled $152.3 million, an increase of $34.7 million, or 29.5%, compared to noninterest expense of $117.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Salaries and benefits increased $13.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase is attributable to (i) equity-based compensation expense for stock options and restricted stock awards totaling $3.1 million that were recognized in the year ended December 31, 2025; (ii) the retail staff additions at the twelve retail locations added through the William Penn acquisition; and (iii) the retention of various William Penn team members through the completion of systems integration, which occurred on June 20, 2025.

Merger and acquisition expenses increased $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which includes $10.1 million of merger related expenses related to the William Penn acquisition, $713 thousand related to the 1st Colonial acquisition, $172 thousand related to the Cumberland Advisors acquisition, and $164 thousand related to the Charis Insurance Group acquisition.

Software licensing and utilization costs increased $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase reflects additional costs to (i) license the additional William Penn branches; and (ii) upgrade internal systems, including network storage, cybersecurity, and data security enhancements in response to the Bank's larger size and increased IT complexity.

Occupancy expenses increased $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was driven by the facility operating costs of the additional retail locations added through the William Penn acquisition.

The core efficiency ratio⁽¹⁾ improved to 55.3% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 58.8% in the third quarter of 2025 and 63.9% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The improvement in the core efficiency ratio during the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2025 was the result of higher net interest income and lower noninterest expense. Mid Penn continues to evaluate levels of noninterest expense for opportunities to reduce operating costs throughout the organization.
