Declares Cash Dividend of $0.20 per Share

(Manhattan, KS, February 3, 2016) – Landmark Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: LARK), a bank holding company serving 23 communities across Kansas, reported net earnings of $2.6 million ($0.71 per diluted share) for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared to $2.1 million ($0.59 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter of 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2015, Landmark reported record net earnings of $10.5 million ($2.91 per diluted share), compared to $8.0 million ($2.27 per diluted share) in 2014. Management will host a conference call to discuss these results at 10:00 a.m. (central time) on Thursday, February 4, 2016. Investors may participate via telephone by dialing (877) 510-0473. A replay of the call will be available through March 4, 2016, by dialing (877) 344-7529 and using conference number 10079806.

Landmark’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per share, to be paid March 2, 2016, to common stockholders of record on February 17, 2016. This represents a 10.5% increase in the Company’s cash dividend compared to the previous quarter’s cash dividend of $0.18 per share, which has been adjusted to give effect to the 5% stock dividend paid during December 2015.

Michael E. Scheopner, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We are pleased to announce a 10.5% increase in our cash dividend, made possible by our record net earnings of $10.5 million during 2015, up 30.5% from $8.0 million in 2014. Fourth quarter net earnings of $2.6 million represented an increase of 23.1% from the fourth quarter of 2014. Robust activity in mortgage banking, which led to increased gains on sales of loans, and growth in net interest income were the primary drivers of the increase in net earnings in 2015. During 2015, return on average assets was 1.21% compared to 0.96% in 2014, and return on average equity increased to 13.81% in 2015 from 11.89% in 2014. Despite the uncertain economic growth and low interest rate environment, we believe that Landmark’s risk management practices and capital strength continue to position us well for long-term growth. Landmark’s commitment to community banking – meeting the financial needs of families and businesses with service that is both personal and high-tech – continues to build our presence across Kansas.”

Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights

Net interest income was $6.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $246,000, or 3.9%, from the fourth quarter of 2014. The increase in net interest income was primarily the result of a 2.0% increase in our average interest-earning assets, from $769.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 to $785.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, increased from 3.46% in the fourth quarter of 2014 to 3.54% in the fourth quarter of 2015. Landmark did not record a provision for loan losses during the fourth quarter of either 2015 or 2014.

Total non-interest income was $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, an increase of $294,000, or 7.8%, compared to the same period of 2014, primarily as a result of a $394,000 increase in gains on sales of loans. Gains on sales of loans rose primarily as a result of increased volumes of one-to-four family residential real estate loans originated and sold during the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the same period of 2014.

Non-interest expense increased $181,000, or 2.5%, to $7.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the same period a year earlier. The higher non-interest expense was primarily the result of increases of $140,000 in other non-interest expense and $69,000 in professional fees between the two quarters. The increase in other non-interest expense mainly reflected the expanded mortgage banking activity, while the increase in professional fees was related to various consulting activities. During the fourth quarter of 2015, we recorded income tax expense of $732,000, compared to $858,000 during the same period of 2014. Our effective tax rate decreased from 29.0% in the fourth quarter of 2014 to 22.1% in the fourth quarter of 2015, benefiting from the recognition of certain previously unrecognized tax benefits in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Full-Year Financial Highlights

Net interest income was $25.9 million for 2015, an increase of $1.3 million, or 5.1%, from 2014. The growth in net interest income was primarily the result of a 4.4% increase in average interest-earning assets, from $752.8 million in 2014 to $785.6 million in 2015. Net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, increased from 3.47% in 2014 to 3.51% in 2015. During 2015, we recorded a negative provision for loan losses of $700,000 compared to a provision for loan losses of $600,000 in 2014, primarily as a result of the recovery of $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2015 on a previously charged-off construction loan.

Total non-interest income was $17.0 million in 2015, an increase of $1.9 million, or 12.9%, compared to 2014. The growth in non-interest income was primarily the result of an increase of $2.1 million in gains on sales of loans. Partially offsetting the increased gains on sales of loans was a $119,000 loss on sales of investment securities during 2015, due primarily to the sale of a portion of our agency mortgage-backed investment securities portfolio to reduce exposure to rising interest rates. During 2014, we recognized $99,000 in gains on sales of investment securities.

Non-interest expense increased $1.1 million, or 4.1%, to $29.2 million in 2015 compared to $28.1 million in 2014. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily the result of increases of $883,000 in compensation and benefits and $460,000 in other non-interest expense. The higher compensation and benefits expense in 2015 primarily reflected the expanded mortgage banking activity, while the increase in other non-interest expense reflected a $163,000 impairment of the residual real estate collateral associated with an affordable housing investment and expenses associated with the additional mortgage banking activity. During 2015, we recorded income tax expense of $3.9 million, compared to $3.0 million during 2014. Our effective tax rate decreased slightly from 27.3% in 2014 to 27.1% in 2015.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total assets increased $14.9 million, or 1.7%, to $878.4 million at December 31, 2015, from $863.5 million at December 31, 2014. Net loans increased $3.7 million, or 0.9%, to $419.9 million at year-end 2015, compared to $416.2 million at year-end 2014. Investment securities increased $5.0 million, or 1.4%, to $357.9 million at December 31, 2015, from $352.9 million a year earlier. Deposits increased $10.2 million, or 1.4%, to $714.7 million at December 31, 2015, from $704.5 million at December 31, 2014. Stockholders’ equity increased to $80.6 million (book value of $22.82 per share) at year-end 2015, from $71.6 million (book value of $20.47 per share) at year-end 2014. The ratio of equity to total assets increased to 9.17% at December 31, 2015, from 8.30% at December 31, 2014, and our ratio of tangible equity to tangible assets increased to 6.86% from 5.91% as of the same dates.

At December 31, 2015, the allowance for loan losses was $5.9 million, or 1.39% of gross loans outstanding, compared to $5.3 million, or 1.26% of gross loans outstanding, at December 31, 2014. Non-performing loans decreased to $2.2 million, or 0.51% of gross loans, at year-end 2015, from $6.0 million, or 1.44% of gross loans, a year earlier. We recorded net loan recoveries of $1.3 million during 2015 compared to net loan charge-offs of $820,000 during 2014. The net loan recoveries during 2015 were primarily associated with the recovery of $1.7 million on a $4.3 million construction loan, which had been fully charged-off during 2010 and 2011. As of December 31, 2015, the Company has recovered approximately $2.4 million of the loan and continues to pursue collection of the remaining amount.
