HARRISBURG, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: MPB) (“Mid Penn”), the parent company of Mid Penn Bank (the “Bank”) and MPB Financial Services, LLC, today reported net income available to common shareholders (“earnings”) for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, of $4.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $11.8 million, or $0.71 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2024. Net income, excluding non-recurring income and expenses(1) for the second quarter of 2025, was $15.1 million. Adjusted earnings per common share excluding non-recurring income and expenses(1) was $0.70, exceeding the consensus analyst estimate of $0.69 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2025. Adjustments exclude $8.7 million of after-tax merger-related expenses and $1.6 million of non-recurring compensation expenses.
Key Highlights of the Second Quarter of 2025:
- On April 30, 2025, Mid Penn completed the acquisition of William Penn Bancorporation (“William Penn”), which added total assets of $757.3 million, comprised primarily of $431.4 million of loans. Additionally, on May 12, 2025, Mid Penn acquired the insurance business and related accounts of Charis Insurance Group, which provides business, home and auto insurance throughout central and southeast Pennsylvania.
- Net income available to common shareholders decreased 59.5% to $4.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2025, compared to net income of $11.8 million, or $0.71 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2024. On a non-GAAP basis, net income excluding non-recurring income and expenses(1) for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, increased 33.6% to $15.1 million, or $0.70 per diluted common share, compared to $11.3 million, or $0.68 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2024.
- Net interest margin increased to 3.44% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to 3.37% for the first quarter of 2025, representing a 7 basis point (“bp”) increase compared to the first quarter of 2025. Cost of funds decreased to 2.44% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2.48% for the first quarter of 2025. Despite a higher total interest expense, cost of funds improved during the quarter, primarily due to the growth in average interest-bearing liabilities, driven in part by the addition of lower-cost deposits acquired in the William Penn acquisition. These deposits helped dilute the overall cost of funding, contributing to the improvement. The yield on loans increased to 6.15% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to 6.05% for the first quarter of 2025. Net interest margin increased to 3.44% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to 3.12% for the second quarter of 2024, representing a 32 bp increase compared to the same period in 2024.
- Loan growth for the second quarter of 2025 was $341.7 million, or 30.5% (annualized). Total loans increased $468.3 million, or 10.7%, to $4.8 billion at June 30, 2025, compared to $4.4 billion at June 30, 2024. Excluding the William Penn acquisition loans of $431.4 million, the organic loan portfolio for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 declined $89.6 million or 2.0% from the first quarter of 2025. This decline was primarily driven by elevated payoffs as commercial real estate construction loans stabilized and obtained non-recourse permanent financing.
- Deposits increased $717.5 million, or 60.8% (annualized), during the second quarter of 2025, compared to an increase of $42.3 million, or 3.7% (annualized), during the first quarter of 2025. This increase was driven by a $397.5 million increase in interest-bearing transaction accounts, a $68.8 million increase in noninterest-bearing accounts, and a $251.2 million increase in time deposits. Total deposits increased $952.7 million or 21.18% to $5.4 billion at June 30, 2025, compared to $4.5 billion at June 30, 2024. Organic deposit growth for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $96.2 million or 8.2%, annualized (excluding William Penn acquisition deposits of $621.3 million), from the first quarter of 2025.
- The core efficiency ratio(1) improved to 62.56% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to 62.79% in the first quarter of 2025, and 63.65% in the second quarter of 2024.
- Book value per common share declined to $33.85 as of June 30, 2025, compared to $34.50 as of March 31, 2025, and improved compared to $33.76 as of June 30, 2024. Tangible book value per common share (1) was $27.22 as of June 30, 2025, compared to $27.58 and $25.75 as of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The decline in book value primarily reflects the impact of the William Penn acquisition, including the issuance of additional common shares and the addition of acquisition related goodwill and other intangibles.
- As a result of the foregoing, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per common share, payable August 25, 2025, to shareholders of record as of August 8, 2025.

Chair, President and CEO Rory G. Ritrievi provided the following statement:
“The second quarter of 2025 for Mid Penn was virtually in line with what we expected. While our GAAP earnings were impacted by the completion of the William Penn acquisition within the quarter, excluding those one-time expenses establishes non-GAAP earnings of $0.70 per share, slightly in excess of the consensus estimate of $0.69 per share.
Organic loan growth for the second quarter was negative by $89.6 million, or 2%, and since year end 2024, it is negative $42 million, or 1%. Throughout the first six months of 2025, we have had significant commercial real estate construction projects that reached completion and/or stabilization and, therefore, were refinanced out of a bank loan that significantly increased our natural principal runoff. At the same time, we have experienced the softest loan demand we have seen in many years. We attribute that soft demand to concerns over tariffs, interest rates, and the overall state of the economy. We are optimistic that loan pipelines will begin to improve through the rest of the year, and fully expect that we will hit the bottom end of our original loan growth target range by the end of the year.
Organic deposit growth for the second quarter was $96 million, or 2%, and since the start of 2025, is $138 million, or almost 3%. With competition for deposits at an all-time high, I think those six-month growth numbers are solid. As with loan growth, I fully expect that we will reach the mid-point of our original target range on deposit growth by the end of the year.
Throughout the quarter, we had improvements in net interest margin, cost of deposits, yields on loans, noninterest income and efficiency ratio, along with another solid quarter in asset quality, leading us to the consensus beat, notwithstanding the pullback in loans outstanding.
We are encouraged by the results for the quarter while successfully completing the William Penn acquisition, and we are cautiously optimistic about what to anticipate for the remainder of 2025.
It is our pleasure to announce that the Board has authorized its 59th consecutive quarterly dividend, a cash dividend of $0.20 per share of common stock, which was declared at its meeting on July 23, 2025, payable on August 25, 2025, to shareholders of record as of August 8, 2025.”
Net Interest Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net interest income was $48.2 million, compared to net interest income of $42.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and $38.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Interest income for the second quarter of 2025 includes $910 thousand of purchase accounting loan accretion related to the William Penn acquisition. This accretion reflects the recognition of fair value marks on acquired loans, which are accreted into interest income over the expected life of the assets. The tax-equivalent net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was 3.44% compared to 3.37% and 3.12% for the first quarter of 2025 and second quarter of 2024, respectively, representing a 7 bp increase from the first quarter of 2025, and a 32 bp increase compared to the same period in 2024.
The yield on interest-earning assets increased to 5.69% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, from 5.65% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and remained flat at 5.69% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase from the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to an increase in interest income on loans, and an increase in the average balance of Federal Funds Sold.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net interest income increased 20.6% to $90.7 million compared to net interest income of $75.2 million for the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a $9.7 million increase in interest income on loans, a $2.3 million increase in Fed Funds Sold, partially offset by a $4.5 million increase in interest expense on deposits, and a $7.4 million decrease in the interest paid on short term borrowings, compared to the same period of 2024.
Average Balances
Average balances were significantly impacted by the William Penn acquisition given that the acquisition closed on April 30, 2025. Day one increases in loans, total assets, deposits, and total liabilities were $431.4 million, $757.3 million, $621.3 million, and $635.0 million, respectively.
Average loans increased $265.0 million to $4.7 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $4.5 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and increased $371.3 million compared to $4.4 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Average deposits were $5.2 billion for the second quarter of 2025, reflecting an increase of $478.0 million, or 10.2%, compared to total average deposits of $4.7 billion in the first quarter of 2025, and an increase of $708.1 million, or 15.9%, compared to total average deposits of $4.5 billion for the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to the William Penn acquisition and organic growth. The average cost of deposits was 2.41% for the second quarter of 2025, representing a 2 bp decrease and an 18 bp decrease from the first quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2024, respectively.
Cost of funds decreased to 2.44%, compared to 2.48% for the first quarter of 2025. Despite a higher total interest expense, cost of funds declined during the quarter, primarily due to the growth in average interest-bearing liabilities, driven in part by the addition of lower-cost deposits acquired in the William Penn acquisition. These deposits helped dilute the overall cost of funding, contributing to the decline.
Asset Quality
The total provision for credit losses, including provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, was $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $2.0 million compared to the provision for credit losses of $301 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and a $665 thousand increase compared to the provision for credit losses of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in provision was primarily driven by a $2.3 million reserve established for non-PCD (Purchased Credit Deteriorated) loans acquired in the William Penn acquisition, offset by an $866 thousand decrease in reserve required for individually analyzed loans. Net charge offs for the three months ended June 30, 2025, were $811 thousand or less than 0.02% of total average loans.
The provision for credit losses on loans was $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $1.4 million compared to the provision for credit losses of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to a $2.3 million reserve on non-PCD loans acquired through the William Penn acquisition. The provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures was $23 thousand and $3 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by new participations in construction loans originated in the second quarter.
Allowance for credit losses – loans was 0.78%, 0.80%, and 0.81% of loans, net of unearned income at June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025, and June 30, 2024, respectively.
Total nonperforming assets were $28.0 million at June 30, 2025, compared to nonperforming assets of $25.4 million and $10.4 million at March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The increase during the second quarter of 2025 primarily related to $2.6 million of non-accrual loans acquired from William Penn, partially offset by reductions to other non-accrual loans. Delinquency, measured as loans past due 30 days or more, as a percentage of total loans was 0.58% at June 30, 2025, compared to 0.50% and 0.57% as of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
Capital
Shareholders’ equity increased $120.7 million, or 18.4%, from $655.0 million as of December 31, 2024, to $775.7 million as of June 30, 2025. Retained earnings increased $105 thousand, or 0.1%, from $191.5 million as of March 31, 2025 to $191.6 million as of June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the William Penn acquisition. Regulatory capital ratios for both Mid Penn and the Bank indicate regulatory capital levels in excess of both the regulatory minimums and the levels necessary for the Bank to be considered “well capitalized” at June 30, 2025. Additionally, Mid Penn declared $4.7 million in dividends during the second quarter of 2025.
On April 23, 2025, Mid Penn’s Board of Directors reauthorized its treasury stock repurchase program (“The Program”) effective through April 30, 2026. The Program authorizes the repurchase of up to $15.0 million of Mid Penn’s outstanding common stock. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, Mid Penn repurchased 48,064 shares of common stock at an average price of $28.36. No shares were repurchased in the first quarter for 2025. As of June 30, 2025, Mid Penn repurchased a total of 488,786 shares of common stock at an average price of $23.33 per share under the Program. The Program had approximately $3.6 million remaining available for repurchase as of June 30, 2025.
Noninterest Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, noninterest income totaled $6.1 million, an increase of $904 thousand, or 17.3%, compared to noninterest income of $5.2 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase is primarily due to a $266 thousand increase in fiduciary and wealth management, a $217 thousand increase in earnings from the cash surrender value of life insurance as a result of policies assumed during the William Penn acquisition, and a $199 thousand increase in other noninterest income. The William Penn acquisition provides an opportunity for continued expansion into the Philadelphia markets, enabling the development of new wealth management and insurance customer relationships, which will help strengthen noninterest income.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, noninterest income totaled $11.4 million, an increase of $216 thousand, or 1.9%, compared to noninterest income of $11.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in noninterest income is primarily driven by a $285 thousand increase in fiduciary and wealth management, a $215 thousand increase in mortgage banking income, and a $180 thousand increase in earnings from the cash surrender value of life insurance as a result of policies assumed during the William Penn acquisition, offset by a $512 thousand decrease in other miscellaneous noninterest income, driven by a $1.9 million decrease in Bank-owned life insurance benefits received, partially offset by a $568 thousand increase in loan level swap fees.
Noninterest Expense
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, noninterest expense totaled $47.8 million, an increase of $17.2 million, or 55.99%, compared to noninterest expense of $30.6 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Merger and acquisition expenses increased $10.7 million, which includes $10.5 million of merger related expenses related to the William Penn acquisition and $164 thousand related to the Charis Insurance Group acquisition.
Salaries and benefits increased $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase is attributable to (i) equity-based compensation expense for stock options and restricted stock awards totaling $2.0 million that were recognized during the second quarter of 2025. (Future expected compensation expense related to these awards is approximately $753 thousand for the third quarter of 2025 and $2.2 million over the remaining vesting periods); (ii) the retail staff additions at the twelve retail locations added through the William Penn acquisition; and (iii) the retention of various William Penn team members through the completion of systems integration, which occurred on June 20, 2025.
Software licensing and utilization costs increased $698 thousand compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase reflects additional costs to (i) license the additional William Penn branches; and (ii) upgrades to internal systems, including network storage, cybersecurity, and data security enhancements in response to the Bank’s larger size and increased IT complexity.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, noninterest expense totaled $78.4 million, an increase of $21.7 million, or 38.2%, compared to noninterest expense of $56.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Merger and acquisition expenses increased $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which includes $11.2 million of merger related expenses related to the William Penn acquisition and $164 thousand related to the Charis Insurance Group acquisition.
Salaries and benefits increased $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, largely driven by the same Q2 items noted above, including $2.0 million in equity compensation, staff additions from the William Penn acquisition, and retention of key personnel through integration.
Software licensing and utilization costs increased $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting the same Q2 drivers noted above. These include the onboarding of newly acquired William Penn branches, investments in IT infrastructure and cybersecurity.
Occupancy expenses increased $796 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was driven by the facility operating costs of the additional retail locations added through the William Penn acquisition.
The core efficiency ratio(1) was 62.6% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to 62.8% in the first quarter of 2025 and 63.7% in the second quarter of 2024. The change in the core efficiency ratio during the second quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2025 was the result of higher net interest income and higher noninterest income, partially offset by higher noninterest expense. Mid Penn continues to evaluate levels of noninterest expense for opportunities to reduce operating costs throughout the organization.
William Penn Acquisition
On April 30, 2025, Mid Penn completed its acquisition of William Penn through the merger of William Penn with and into Mid Penn.
Each share of William Penn common stock issued and outstanding as of April 30, 2025, was converted into 0.426 shares of Mid Penn common stock. As a result of the acquisition, Mid Penn issued approximately 3,506,795 shares of Mid Penn common stock, plus up to an additional 538,447 shares of Mid Penn common stock issuable upon the exercise of former William Penn stock options, for a purchase price of $103.2 million. Mid Penn also recorded Goodwill of $6.2 million, and a core deposit intangible asset of $245 thousand as a result of this acquisition.
Charis Insurance Group Acquisition
On May 12, 2025, Mid Penn acquired the insurance business and related accounts of Charis Insurance Group, which provides business, home and auto insurance throughout central and southern Pennsylvania, for a purchase price of $4.0 million at closing. Mid Penn recorded Goodwill of $1.6 million, as a result of this acquisition.
The assets and liabilities assumed in these transactions were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the respective date of acquisition and may be adjusted for up to one year subsequent to legal closing.
