National Bankshares, Inc. reported a net income of $4.42 million for the third quarter of 2025, a significant increase from $2.68 million in the same period of 2024. This translates to a basic net income per share of $0.70, compared to $0.42 a year earlier. For the nine months ending September 30, 2025, the company achieved a net income of $9.95 million, up from $4.54 million in the prior year, reflecting a basic net income per share of $1.56, compared to $0.75 in 2024. The increase in profitability is attributed to a higher net interest income, which rose to $11.67 million in Q3 2025 from $9.43 million in Q3 2024, driven by improved interest margins and a reduction in interest expenses.
Total assets for National Bankshares as of September 30, 2025, were reported at $1.80 billion, a slight decrease from $1.81 billion at the end of 2024. The company experienced a decline in total deposits, which fell to $1.56 billion from $1.64 billion, primarily due to a reduction in interest-bearing demand deposits. However, noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased to $312.58 million, up from $290.09 million. The loan portfolio also saw growth, with total loans net of deferred fees increasing to $1.01 billion, compared to $977.69 million at the end of 2024.
Strategically, National Bankshares completed the acquisition of Frontier Community Bank in June 2024, which has expanded its market presence into Virginia's Waynesboro, Staunton, and Lynchburg areas. This acquisition has contributed to the growth in the loan portfolio and overall operational scale. The company also completed a core system conversion in the second quarter of 2025, aimed at enhancing efficiency and product offerings. The integration of Frontier Community Bank's operations is expected to yield further benefits in the coming quarters.
Operationally, the company reported a slight increase in its employee headcount, reflecting the integration of new staff from the acquisition. The efficiency ratio improved to 58.62% in Q3 2025 from 69.80% in Q3 2024, indicating better operational efficiency. The net interest margin also expanded to 2.73% from 2.20% year-over-year, benefiting from a favorable interest rate environment and effective management of interest-bearing liabilities.
Looking ahead, National Bankshares remains cautious about potential economic challenges, including inflation and changes in monetary policy that could impact customer demand for banking services. The company is focused on maintaining its capital position, with a total stockholders' equity of $179.22 million as of September 30, 2025, up from $156.41 million at the end of 2024. The management anticipates continued growth in net interest income and overall profitability, supported by strategic initiatives and market expansion efforts.
