IF BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER

OF FISCAL YEAR 2025

Watseka, Illinois, April 29, 2025 - IF Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: IROQ) (the “Company”) the holding company for Iroquois Federal Savings and Loan Association (the “Association”), announced unaudited net income of $1.0 million, or $0.31 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to net income of $708,000, or $0.22 per basic and  diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Walter H. “Chip” Hasselbring, III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented “The Federal Reserve’s easing of short-term rates stalled this quarter and the competitive environment for deposits remains difficult.  That being said, our net interest margin continued to improve, contributing to a modest improvement in our earnings and quarterly results.  Our book value per share finished the March 31, 2025 quarter at $23.55. And as we have reported, the Board and management are always evaluating and exploring shareholder enhancement opportunities." 

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net interest income was $5.2 million compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.  We recorded a credit for credit losses of $262,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a credit for credit losses of $390,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.  Interest income decreased to $10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.  Interest expense decreased to $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.  Non-interest income increased to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.  Non-interest expense increased to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.  Provision for income tax increased to $380,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $243,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The Company announced unaudited net income of $2.9 million, or $0.89 per basic and diluted share for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.4 million, or $0.42 per basic and diluted share for the nine months ended March 31, 2024.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2025, net interest income was $15.1 million compared to $13.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024.  We recorded a credit for credit losses of $330,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a provision for credit losses of $196,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024.  Interest income increased to $32.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025, from $30.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024.  Interest expense increased to $17.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2025 from $17.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024.

Total assets at March 31, 2025 were $879.1 million compared to $887.7 million at June 30, 2024.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $8.9 million at March 31, 2025, from $9.6 million at June 30, 2024.  Investment securities decreased to $184.6 million at March 31, 2025, from $190.5 million at June 30, 2024.  Net loans receivable decreased to $638.2 million at March 31, 2025, from $639.3 million at June 30, 2024.  Deposits decreased to $684.0 million at March 31, 2025, from $727.2 million at June 30, 2024.  The large decrease in deposits was mostly due to approximately $62.7 million in deposits from a public entity that collects real estate taxes that were withdrawn in the nine months ended March 31, 2025, when tax monies were distributed. Total borrowings, including repurchase agreements, increased to $104.9 million at March 31, 2025 from $76.0 million at June 30, 2024.  Stockholders’ equity increased to $78.9 million at March 31, 2025 from $73.9 million at June 30, 2024.  Equity increased primarily due to net income of $2.9 million, an increase of $3.0 million in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, and ESOP and stock equity plan activity of $445,000, partially offset by the accrual of approximately $1.3 million in dividends to our shareholders, of which about half were still payable as of March 31, 2025, and were subsequently paid on April 15, 2025.
