Ledyard Financial Group Reports Q2 2025 Earnings and Declares Quarterly Dividend
BUSINESS WIRE)--Ledyard Financial Group, Inc. (the 'Company', OTCQX ®: LFGP), the holding company for Ledyard National Bank (the 'Bank'), today announced financial results for Q2 2025. Quarterly net income per share increased to $0.39 from $0.36 in the prior quarter (up 8%), as core business activity continued to expand. Strong loan growth continued to drive balance sheet growth, and wealth management revenue increased despite market volatility during the quarter. Reflecting the continued success of the company's strategic investments, net income in the quarter was up 80% over the comparable year-ago period. The Company continues to leverage the integration of its banking and wealth management businesses, promoting growth and the pursuit of making life better for its clients, its employees, its shareholders, and the communities it serves. Q2 2025 Highlights Q2 2025 net income was $1.3 million ($0.39 per share), up $101 thousand and $581 thousand from Q1 2025 and Q2 2024, respectively. Total assets ended the quarter at $993.3 million, having grown $18.4 million or 1.9% from the prior quarter, and ending $85.4 million or 9.4% higher than a year ago, driven primarily by loan growth. Loans increased $20.9 million (3.4%) from the prior quarter and ended $133.1 million (26.8%) higher than a year ago. Excluding funds from the wealth management business, client deposits increased $8.4 million (1.4%) in Q2 2025 and grew $22.9 million (4.0%) since a year ago. Including the wealth management balances, client deposits were up $2.6 million and $17.4 million over Q1 2025 and Q2 2024, respectively. Net interest margin was 2.47%, down 6 basis points from the prior quarter, but up 33 basis points from a year ago. Capital ratios continue to exceed regulatory well-capitalized minimums. At $2.18 billion, assets under management (AUM) ended the quarter up 3.5% and 6.8% from Q1 2025 and Q2 2024, respectively. Revenue from the wealth management business was up $41 thousand (1.0%) and $631 thousand (18.1%) over the corresponding previous quarters, shrugging off the impact of market declines early in Q2, and reflecting the benefit of the revised fee structure implemented in early 2025. Reflecting the value created by infrastructure investments made over the last year, the efficiency ratio of 82.7% marked the second consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvement of 7-8%. The Company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share. 'Our Q2 results continue to demonstrate solid growth in our core businesses of efficient deposit-gathering, prudent lending, and exceptional wealth management service. We continued to strengthen the balance sheet with added credit reserves, and our liquidity position remains strong. Our efficiency ratio of 81.7% for 1H 2025 is a marked improvement over the comparable year-ago figure of 89.3% and indicates that the investments we have made in infrastructure are paying off,' said Peter Sprudzs, CFO. 'Crossing mid-2025 has included notable achievements for the company, including continued growth of our businesses despite challenging external market conditions, the launch of a completely redesigned website and our revamped digital brand 'Onward', and near-complete preparations for our new Bedford, NH financial center location, expected to open in August. We look forward to expanding our community banking presence in Southern New Hampshire and continuing to deepen our relationships across all our client segments,' added Josephine Moran, CEO. Q2 2025 Results Net income for Q2 2025 was $1.3 million ($0.39 per share) compared to $1.2 million ($0.36 per share) in Q1 2025 and $726 thousand ($0.22 per share) in Q2 2024. Q2 2025 net interest income was $5.7 million, up $166 thousand or 3.0% from the prior quarter, and up $1.3 million or 27.9% from Q2 2024. Net interest margin (NIM) in Q2 2025 decreased to 2.47% from 2.53% in Q1 2025 and was up 33 basis points from 2.14% in Q2 2024. Quarter over quarter, earning asset yields increased by 6 basis points, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by 3 basis points, and other factors (most notably the contribution from derivative hedge positions) declined 8 basis points. Reported NIM figures do not reflect the beneficial effect of the tax advantage provided by the Company's $151.7 million in municipal bond holdings. Provision for credit losses was $214 thousand in Q2 2025, which consisted of a net $222 thousand addition to Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL) and a net $8 thousand reduction to Liability for Unfunded Commitments. Non-interest revenue for Q2 2025 amounted to $4.7 million, up $276 thousand or 6.2% from Q1 2025, and up $785 thousand or 20.0% from Q2 2024. Excluding the impact of investment portfolio sales in the prior quarters, Q2 2025 non-interest revenue was up $171 thousand (3.8%) over the prior quarter, and up $791 thousand (20.2%) over the year-ago quarter. Wealth management revenue amounted to $4.1 million in Q2 2025, up $41 thousand or 1.0% from Q1 2025, and up $631 thousand or 18.1% from Q2 2024. AUM ended the quarter at $2.18 billion, up 3.5% from $2.10 billion at the end of Q1 2025, and up 6.8% from $2.04 billion at the end of Q2 2024. Net revenue from brokerage commissions in Q2 2025 was $150 thousand, up substantially from prior periods - $106 thousand in Q1 2025 and $19 thousand in Q2 2024. Non-interest expense in Q2 2025 was $8.6 million, up $557 thousand (6.9%) from $8.1 million in Q1 2025, and up $1.1 million (15.0%) from $7.5 million in Q2 2024. About 40% of the increase can be attributed to a favorable one-time item in the prior quarter, another 40% to higher personnel costs resulting from annual merit increases for the workforce and the addition of new client-facing headcount, with the remaining 20% of the increase attributable to business growth. At 82.7% for Q2 2025, the Company's efficiency ratio was 6.7% better than a year ago, repeating the improvement observed in Q1 2025, when the efficiency ratio of 80.7% reflected an 8.4% improvement over Q1 2024. The Company continues to benefit from its investments in Low Income Housing Tax Credits and tax-exempt municipal bonds. In Q2 2025, the net tax expense was $291 thousand. Total assets of the Company at June 30, 2025 were $993.3 million, up $18.4 million or 1.9% over Q1 2025, and up $85.4 million or 9.4% from the end of Q2 2024, primarily driven by loan growth. Gross loans at June 30, 2025 were $629.3 million, compared to $608.5 million at March 31, 2025 and $496.2 million at June 30, 2024, up 3.4% and 26.8% over the prior and year-ago quarters, respectively. As a result of a concerted effort at diversifying the loan mix, C&I loans grew 5.8% while CRE loans grew 2.2% over the prior quarter. Credit reserves amounted to $4.9 million at June 30, 2025, the sum of $4.4 million in ACL and $511 thousand in Liability for Unfunded Commitments. ACL increased $243 thousand and $1.0 million over Q1 2025 and Q2 2024, respectively, and amounted to 0.70% of gross loan balances at June 30, 2025, as compared to 0.69% at March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024. The Liability for Unfunded Commitments was down $8 thousand from Q1 2025, and down $264 thousand from Q2 2024. This reserve balance is included in Other Liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company experienced net recoveries of $22 thousand in Q2 2025, and the ACL at the end of the quarter provides 3.5x coverage of non-performing assets. Client deposits excluding wealth funds increased $8.4 million (1.4%) during Q2 2025 and increased $22.9 million (4.0%) since a year ago. Wealth management fund balances were down $5.8 million compared to Q1 2025 and down $5.5 million over Q2 2024. Including these wealth fund movements, client deposits in Q2 were up $2.6 million over Q1 2025 and up $17.4 million over Q2 2024. The Company continues to focus on maintaining a robust liquidity profile, with a diverse deposit base (roughly 80/20 retail/commercial), a small proportion of uninsured deposits (estimated at 15%), and proven access to both unsecured and secured wholesale funding channels. Quarter over quarter, the Company increased wholesale borrowings and deposits acquired through brokers or listing channels by $15.7 million. The overall maturity profile of the Company's wholesale funding was 2.5 years at Q2 2025, down from 2.7 years at the prior quarter end. The Company has significant liquidity resources available to support operations, as it maintains good standing and extensive portfolios pledged at FHLB Boston and the Federal Reserve. The Company had over $249 million in readily accessible borrowing capacity as of June 30, 2025. On June 30, 2025, shareholders' equity was $56.5 million, down $638 thousand or 1.1% from the prior quarter, and up $1.0 million or 1.8% from Q2 2024. The Company's capital ratios continue to exceed the levels defined by the Federal Reserve for a bank holding company to be considered well capitalized. As expected, capital ratios have trended down in the last year in concert with strategic balance sheet growth; minor methodology adjustments and the inclusion of a deferred tax asset deduction have resulted in a change to prior year Leverage Ratio presentation. On June 30, 2025, the Company's book value per share excluding and including AOCI stood at $21.20 and $16.53, respectively, compared to $21.13 and $16.76, respectively, at March 31, 2025, and $20.70 and $16.29, respectively, at June 30, 2024. Dividend Declaration The Company is pleased to announce that a regular quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share will be paid on September 5, 2025, to shareholders of record as of August 15, 2025.

How to see behind the scenes at RV manufacturing plants
The Midwest is the epicenter of America's recreational vehicle (RV) industry. Airstream is headquartered in western Ohio, and 80 percent of the nation's RVs are produced in northwest Indiana, earning it the title of 'RV Capital of the World.' If you own a recreational vehicle or are simply curious about the craftsmanship employed by teams of skilled artisans, an RV manufacturing plant tour offers a behind-the-scenes look. AirstreamJackson Center, Ohio Inside Airstream's spacious, 750,000-square-foot production facility, shiny aluminum trailers glisten like giant pieces of jewelry. Approximately 500 skilled workers craft eight towable travel trailer models in 45 floor plans for the domestic market and three models for the European market. Located 56 miles northeast of Dayton, Airstream employs 1,300 people and hosts nearly 10,000 visitors annually who join free, hour-long guided tours of three manufacturing facilities producing the brand's iconic travel trailers, touring coaches and Basecamp units. Visitor experience coordinator Dan Maul facilitates all tours, as well as manages the company's archives and Heritage Center. 'Around 200 craftspeople, between parts manufacturing and a completed trailer build, are involved in the production of each travel trailer, which takes approximately 350 hours total,' Maul says. Along the 40-section production line, workers buck rivet each trailer's curved, aluminum outer exterior and interior. From a viewing platform above the factory floor, visitors watch production line craftspeople install electrical wiring, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, solar panel hookups, propane tanks and other components. Most of Airstream's cabinetry, windows and doors are made onsite, as are window treatments and some upholstered pieces. Lastly, quality control staff conducts a 1,600-point inspection before shipping trailers to 70 dealers across the U.S. and Canada and another 12 internationally. 'Our design team consistently monitors trends, tech developments, and consumers' interests in not only the RV market, but in the boating and home design industries to ensure we are creating a more comfortable and inviting travel trailer experience,' Maul says. The Heritage Center displays restored Airstreams presented in a walkable timeline. The collection's newest addition is a 1936 Airstream Clipper, the first all-aluminum, riveted travel trailer ever made. JaycoMiddlebury, Indiana There are nearly 70 RV production plants, parts suppliers, service and repair facilities in Elkhart County, Indiana, and a dozen more operate in neighboring LaGrange County. Northwest Indiana hosts many of the nation's biggest RV rallies and is home to the third-largest Amish community in the country, with many of working in the RV industry. Thor Industries, the world's largest RV manufacturer and Elkhart County's biggest employer, owns and operates Jayco, Inc. in Middlebury, about 130 miles southeast of Chicago. Jayco produces 357 models of travel trailers, fifth-wheels, Class A and Class C motorhomes and Class B camper vans at a 720-acre campus employing 2,700 people. Free 90-minute tours of the motorhome and luxury fifth -wheel plants start at Jayco's visitors center, a renovated 1880s Amish farmhouse adjacent to a grassy lot displaying the latest models that guests walk through. A brief film covers the history of the company, which started in 1968 when Mennonite couple Lloyd and Bertha Bontrager built the first Jayco-branded, canvas-sided, fold-down camper trailers in their farm's barn. A vintage trolley ride takes you to the manufacturing plant, where craftspeople assemble insulated sidewalls, wood floor frames and Magnum Truss Roof System roofs, sew window treatments and upholster furniture. Sounds of beeping forklifts and whirring, popping power tools fill the brightly lit luxury fifth wheel plant. Sleek Pinnacle, North Point, and Seismic Toy Hauler models, hand-built by 160 craftspeople, roll down the 36-station production line. It takes an average of three days to build a fifth wheel RV. Woodworkers on the plant's mezzanine level mill all hardwood cabinetry. Final production steps include a thorough cleaning, inspection of 29 system functions and a rain test (motorhomes get road tested) before Jayco ships to more than 400 dealers in the U.S. and abroad. 'Starting in May each year, tour guests watch skilled workers hand-build the next year's models,' says John MacDonald, Jayco's corporate brand ambassador. RV/MH Hall of Fame At Elkhart's national RV/MH Hall of Fame complex, a collection of 50 camper cars, trailers, vans, and motorhomes trace the RV industry's evolution beginning in the 1920s. View actress Mae West's 1931 Chevrolet House car and the 1935 Bowlus Road Chief Trailer. Historic RV brands' units exhibited include Jayco, Coachmen, E-Z Kamper, Kit Teardrop, Shasta, GMC, Airstream and Winnebago. RV enthusiasts will love browsing the library's periodicals and archives.
