CHICAGO, May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Marquette National Corporation (OTCQX: MNAT) today reported net loss of $2.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to net income of $8.5 million for the first three months of 2024. The loss per share for the first three months of 2025 was $(0.67), as compared to income of $1.93 per share for the comparable period in 2024.

At March 31, 2025, total assets were $2.217 billion, an increase of $9.6 million, compared to $2.208 billion at December 31, 2024. Total loans increased by $4.6 million, to $1.410 billion compared to $1.405 billion at the end of 2024. Total deposits increased by $10.3 million, or 1%, to $1.750 billion compared to $1.740 billion at the end of 2024.

Paul M. McCarthy, Chairman & CEO, said, “the primary reason for the decrease in consolidated earnings was a lower level of unrealized gains on the Company’s equity portfolio in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in unrealized gains on the Company’s equity portfolio was partially offset by an increase in net interest income. Other comprehensive income was positive for the first quarter and helped deliver an increase to tangible book value per share for the first quarter.”
