What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Net interest margin expansion and volume-led NII growth: “The significant increase in net interest income is primarily driven by loan growth… and by market interest rates starting to decline thus slowing the increase in cost of funds.” NIM increased from 2.96% to 3.41% YoY .
- Broad-based balance sheet growth: Total assets grew 5.5% YTD to $629.2M; deposits rose $25.1M; net loans increased $31.0M (7.2% YTD) .

What Went Wrong
- Elevated operating costs tied to merger: noninterest expense +10.1% YoY; $85K merger costs in Q2 and $248K YTD; salaries/benefits +$118K in Q2 .
- Higher tax burden: income tax provision +71% YoY to $407K, primarily from non-deductible merger expenses and lower proportion of tax-exempt income, alongside higher pre-tax income .
- Funding mix headwinds: Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $4.0M YTD by 6/30/25 (after decreasing $9.0M in Q1), partially offset by slowing cost-of-funds increases; cost of funds nonetheless up 13 bps YoY .

Management Commentary
- “The significant increase in net interest income is primarily driven by loan growth… and by market interest rates starting to decline thus slowing the increase in cost of funds.”
- “The increase in the tax provision is primarily the result of non-deductible merger expenses and by tax-exempt interest income representing a smaller percentage of total interest income and increased pre-tax income…”
- Liquidity and capital remain strong with FHLB capacity ($155.3M) and Fed capacity ($1.3M) and equity-to-assets of 9.4% at 6/30/25 .
- Q1 commentary echoed similar drivers: NIM expansion on yields/cost of funds and merger-related expense impacts .
Q&A Highlights

Estimates Context
- S&P Global consensus estimates for MIFF were unavailable; as a result, we cannot assess beat/miss vs Wall Street expectations for EPS or revenue (S&P Global data unavailable).
- Given strong YoY net income and NIM expansion, near-term estimate revisions (if any coverage exists) would likely focus on net interest income trajectory, opex normalization post-merger costs, and tax rate implications .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Net interest margin expansion and robust loan growth are the core earnings drivers; continued moderation in cost of funds supports NIM sustainability .
- Operating expenses include temporary merger-related costs; watch for opex normalization through 2H as integration progresses .
- Asset quality is a standout positive with NPA levels and ratios improving sequentially and YoY; coverage ratios are very high .
- Deposits and liquidity are strong, providing strategic flexibility even as FHLB advances ticked up in Q2; funding mix bears monitoring .
- Tax expense was elevated due to non-deductible merger items; effective tax rate could ease after one-off impacts abate .
- Dividend of $0.74 per share in Q2 highlights capital return posture while maintaining a 9.4% equity-to-assets ratio (well-capitalized) .
- Without available consensus estimates, near-term stock narratives will hinge on NIM trajectory, loan growth durability, and signals around merger integration costs and timeline .
