Harleysville Financial Corporation has announced a significant increase in its quarterly dividend, reflecting a robust performance in its latest earnings report. The company declared a regular cash dividend of $0.35 per share, marking a 6.1% rise, which will be payable on February 25, 2026, to shareholders of record on February 11, 2026. This decision follows a strong fiscal first quarter that ended on December 31, 2025, during which the company reported a net income of $2.67 million, or $0.74 per diluted share. This represents a substantial increase from the $2.01 million earned, or $0.55 per diluted share, in the same period the previous year, indicating a remarkable 33% rise in profits.
President and Chief Executive Officer Brendan J. McGill attributed the impressive results to effective execution across the company’s core business areas. In his statement, he emphasized that the company’s financial performance was driven by consistent loan growth and expansion in the investment portfolio, alongside a strong focus on asset quality.
“Our solid financial performance this quarter was driven by steady loan growth, expansion in our investment portfolio and our unwavering commitment to asset quality,” said McGill. “The board’s decision to increase the dividend reflects our confidence in the strength of our balance sheet and our ongoing ability to create additional value for our shareholders.”
As of the end of the quarter, total assets for Harleysville Financial reached $940.1 million, up from $861.3 million a year earlier. This growth can be attributed to the company’s successful strategies in increasing loans and investments. The tangible book value for shareholders also saw a rise, climbing to $25.67 per share, compared to $24.13 per share at the end of the previous fiscal year.
McGill also reiterated the company’s commitment to disciplined growth while adhering to its community banking model. “We continue to build the franchise thoughtfully, supporting our customers and communities while maintaining strong capital and liquidity,” he stated.
Harleysville Financial serves as the holding company for Harleysville Bank, a Pennsylvania-chartered and federally insured community bank. The institution operates six full-service offices in Montgomery County and one in Bucks County, providing a wide range of traditional banking services to individuals, businesses, and local organizations across the region.
These recent developments position Harleysville Financial as a strong contender in the banking sector, reflecting both solid performance and a commitment to shareholder value.
