MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. reported net income of $15.1 million, or $0.73 per share, for the first quarter of 2025. The company's return on average assets (ROAA) exceeded 1% for the second consecutive quarter, demonstrating sustained profitability.
The tax equivalent net interest margin (NIM) continued its expansion, reaching 3.44%, a 1 basis point increase from the fourth quarter of 2024. This was driven by lower funding costs, despite a slight decline in earning asset yields.
Tangible book value per share increased by 4.4% to $23.36, and the CET1 ratio grew to 10.97%, moving closer to the company's target range. Asset quality metrics generally improved, with nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets ratios declining to 0.41% and 0.33%, respectively.
However, loan growth was flat in the quarter, which was softer than anticipated, and the net charge-off ratio increased to 0.29%. This increase was primarily due to a partial charge-off on a previously reserved commercial real estate (CRE) loan as the company prepares for its resolution.
The allowance for credit losses was $53.9 million, representing 1.25% of total loans, with credit loss expense at $1.7 million. The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.2425 per common share, payable on June 16, 2025.
