Declares Cash Dividend of $0.20 per Share

(Manhattan, KS, April 26, 2017) – Landmark Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: LARK), a bank holding company serving 23 communities across Kansas, reported net earnings of $2.2 million ($0.56 per diluted share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, compared to $2.4 million ($0.63 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2016. Management will host a conference call to discuss these results at 10:00 a.m. (Central time) on Thursday, April 27, 2017. Investors may participate via telephone by dialing (877) 510-0473. A replay of the call will be available through May 27, 2017, by dialing (877) 344-7529 and using conference number 10104893.

Additionally, Landmark’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per share, to be paid May 24, 2017, to common stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 10, 2017.

Michael E. Scheopner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Landmark, commented: “Landmark’s net earnings of $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2017 reflect strong core earnings and the continued growth of our community banking relationships across Kansas. Net earnings were lower than the first quarter of 2016 because mortgage originations and related gains on sales of loans, although still historically strong in the first three months of 2017, were lower compared with the same period a year earlier. Solid growth in deposits continued to drive assets higher, while loans were slightly lower, as of March 31, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016. During the first quarter of 2017, return on average assets was 0.98% compared to 1.10% in the first quarter of 2016. Return on average equity was 10.46% compared to 11.60% for the same period a year earlier. We continued to increase our capital ratios and book value per share in the first quarter of 2017. We are pleased with the strong performance, despite the low interest rate environment and economic uncertainties. We believe 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.”

First Quarter Financial Highlights

Net interest income was $6.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $36,000, or 0.6%, from the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in net interest income was primarily a result of lower yields on loans and higher rates on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, which contributed to a decrease in our net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, from 3.47% in the first quarter of 2016 to 3.38% in the same period of 2017. Partially offsetting the decline in net interest margin was an increase of 3.9% in average interest-earning assets, from $792.0 million in the first quarter of 2016 to $822.9 million for the same period of 2017. Landmark recorded a provision for loan losses of $50,000 during the first quarters of both 2017 and 2016.

Total non-interest income was $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2017, a decrease of $253,000, or 6.5%, compared to the same period of 2016. This change was primarily the result of a $405,000 decline in gains on sales of loans, as the volume of one-to-four family residential real estate loans originated for sale in the first quarter of 2017 was lower than in the same period of 2016. Partially offsetting the decline in gains on sales of loans was a $147,000 gain on sales of investment securities during the first quarter of 2017, compared to a gain of $12,000 in the same period of 2016.

Non-interest expense totaled $7.1 million for the first quarter of 2017, a decline of $101,000, or 1.4%, from $7.2 million for the first quarter of 2016. The decline was primarily related to decreased volumes of one-to-four family residential real estate loans originated for sale, and the corresponding decrease in compensation and benefits and other non-interest expense, in the first quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period of 2016. Lower federal deposit insurance premiums also contributed to the decline in non-interest expense. Landmark recorded income tax expense of $693,000 in the first quarter of both 2017 and 2016. The effective tax rate increased from 22.5% in the first quarter of 2016 to 23.9% in the first quarter of 2017 primarily as a result of a decrease in excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options from $116,000 in the first quarter of 2016 to $12,000 in the same period of 2017. Income tax expense was recast for the first quarter of 2016 to reflect the early adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 Stock Compensation (Topic 718).

Total assets increased $11.6 million, or 1.3%, to $923.0 million at March 31, 2017, from $911.4 million at December 31, 2016.

Deposits increased $11.2 million, or 1.5%, to $752.7 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $741.5 million at December 31, 2016.
