EX-99.1 2 ex99-1.htm EX-99.1 Exhibit 99.1 PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 29, 2026 Landmark Bancorp, Inc .

How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
Traders can update valuation and income expectations based on the declared dividend ($0.21/share payable Aug 27, 2026) and the reported EPS and capital metrics. The key risk to monitor is whether the slight sequential NIM decline and the increase in nonperforming loans translate into higher credit costs in upcoming quarters.
Market read
Primary earnings and dividend disclosure for LARK, with specific EPS, NIM, deposit cost, capital, and book value figures that can drive near-term positioning.
What to watch
Loan growth accelerated in commercial and agricultural-related portfolios, but the release excerpt does not quantify credit losses or NPL coverage, which could dominate the next quarter’s earnings trajectory.
Background
The company filed an SEC 8-K with an earnings press release for Q2 2026 (Item 2.02) including profitability metrics, balance-sheet highlights, and a declared cash dividend.
Ticker impact
Landmark Bancorp reported Q2 2026 diluted EPS of $0.88, up from $0.83 in Q1 and $0.72 a year ago, plus a $0.21 quarterly cash dividend.
Likely modest positive bias into the next trading sessions as investors price in the dividend and improved EPS, while watching NIM softness and loan-quality commentary.
The filing is a primary 8-K earnings release with specific EPS, net interest margin, capital, and dividend timing. However, the excerpt does not include guidance or asset-quality metrics beyond a qualitative note on nonperforming loans, limiting conviction on magnitude.
Market effects
Regional bank read-through: funding cost improvement and capital build are positive signals, while NIM and loan-quality trends remain key watch items.
Limited direct regional spillover beyond local banking sentiment in the company’s footprint.
Low; this is a single-bank earnings and dividend update with no stated macro or cross-border catalyst.
Counterpoint
Sequential NIM declined (down 2 bps to 4.22%) and nonperforming loans increased, so the EPS growth may be more mix and funding-driven than broad-based operating strength.
