Magnolia Bancorp, Inc.

What they do

Magnolia Bancorp, Inc. was formed in May 2024 and completed its mutual-to-stock conversion and initial public offering in January 2025. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Mutual Savings and Loan Association, the company originates and retains primarily fixed-rate one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, as well as residential construction loans, home equity loans, and share loans. It gathers deposits through checking, savings, and certificate of deposit accounts at its main office in Jefferson Parish and a branch in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana. The company does not offer mobile, online, or telephone banking services.

Revenue drivers

• Loan portfolio — As of June 30, 2026, loans receivable totaled $30.3 million (net of allowance), representing the largest earning asset. The portfolio is dominated by fixed-rate one-to-four family residential mortgage loans originated for retention.
• Deposit accounts — Checking, savings, and certificates of deposit provide the primary funding source; total deposits were $15.3 million at June 30, 2026 (interest-bearing deposits $13.7 million, noninterest-bearing $1.6 million).
• Investment of offering proceeds — The parent company retains 50% of the $6.9 million net initial public offering proceeds and earns investment income on those funds; it also received dividends from the association (subject to regulatory limits).

Recent performance

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, revenue was $1,000, reflecting continued minimal income. Annual revenue declined from $9,000 in 2024 to $6,000 in 2025, and annual net losses widened from $100,000 in 2024 to $170,000 in 2025 (diluted EPS of -$22). Operating cash flow has been negative for two consecutive years, at -$439,000 in 2025. Total assets at June 30, 2026 were $35.9 million, down from $37.4 million at December 31, 2025, with cash and due from banks of $3.9 million. Stockholders' equity was $19.9 million, with 832,288 shares outstanding as of August 4, 2026.

Strategy

Management's stated strategy is to continue operating as a traditional community savings institution, originating loans for retention and gathering retail deposits in its two Louisiana parishes. The company plans to retain its focus on fixed-rate one-to-four family residential mortgage lending and does not currently offer electronic banking. The parent company retains a portion of IPO proceeds for investment and may pursue other activities permitted for savings and loan holding companies, but has no immediate plans to expand or hire beyond existing association officers. No new strategic initiatives or product launches have been disclosed.

Risks

• Continued operating losses — The company has reported net losses in 2024 and 2025 and negative operating cash flow, indicating ongoing financial strain.
• Loan portfolio concentration — The loan book is heavily concentrated in fixed-rate one-to-four family residential mortgages, leaving the balance sheet sensitive to interest rate movements and housing market conditions in a narrow geographic area.
• Regulatory dividend restrictions — Mutual Savings is limited by federal regulations on dividends it can pay to the holding company, constraining parent-level cash flow.
• Lack of electronic banking — The company does not offer mobile, online, or telephone banking, which may disadvantage competitive deposit and loan growth.

Outlook

Management has not provided specific forward guidance, but continuing operations depend on loan interest income and dividends from the association. Given the small scale and lack of diversification, near-term performance is likely to remain dependent on the residential mortgage portfolio and cost containment. The company faces the challenge of reversing operating losses while maintaining regulatory capital.
