## Exhibit 99.1

**EXHIBIT 99.1**

**RICHMOND MUTUAL BANCORPORATION, INC. ANNOUNCES 2026 FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS**

RICHMOND, INDIANA (April 23, 2026) – Richmond Mutual Bancorporation, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company") (NASDAQ: RMBI), parent company of First Bank Richmond, today reported net income of $2.8 million, or $0.28 diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2026. This compares to net income of $3.4 million, or $0.35 diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2025, and net income of $2.0 million, or $0.20 diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2025.

The decrease in net income and diluted earnings per share from the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily reflects a higher provision for credit losses, a slight decline in net interest income due to two fewer calendar days in the quarter, lower noninterest income, and higher noninterest expense. The increase in net income and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by higher net interest income resulting from an expanded net interest margin, reflecting higher asset yields and lower funding costs, as well as an increase in noninterest income, partially offset by higher noninterest expense.

**Proposed Merger with The Farmers Bancorp, Frankfort, Indiana**

On November 11, 2025, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "merger agreement") with Farmers Bancorp, pursuant to which Farmers Bancorp will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation (the "merger"). Immediately following the merger, The Farmers Bank will merge with and into First Bank Richmond, with First Bank Richmond as the surviving institution.

The transaction has been approved by the boards of directors of both companies, and all required regulatory approvals have been received. A special meeting of Farmers Bancorp shareholders to approve the merger agreement and related transactions is scheduled for May 26, 2026. The Company will seek shareholder approval of the issuance of its shares in the transaction at its annual meeting of shareholders to be held on May 27, 2026. The transaction is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2026, subject to shareholder approvals and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, holders of Farmers Bancorp common stock will receive 3.40 shares of Company common stock for each share of Farmers Bancorp common stock. The total value of the transaction will fluctuate based on the Company's stock price prior to closing. Upon completion of the transaction, Farmers Bancorp shareholders are expected to own approximately 38% of the Company.

The combined company will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol "RMBI." The holding company will operate under the name "Richmond Mutual Bancorporation, Inc.," and the combined bank will operate under a new name to be jointly determined by the parties prior to closing. The administrative headquarters of the combined company will be located in Richmond, Indiana, and the administrative headquarters of the combined bank will be located in Frankfort, Indiana.

**President's Message**

Garry Kleer, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We had a solid quarter relative to a year ago, with earnings per share up 41% from the first quarter of 2025, driven by meaningful improvement in our net interest margin. Compared to the fourth quarter, earnings were lower, reflecting a higher provision for credit losses, modest declines in net interest income and noninterest income, and higher noninterest expense. We saw an increase in nonaccrual loans during the quarter, which we are monitoring closely and working through on a case-by-case basis. Our capital remains strong, charge-offs continue to be low, and we remain committed to the businesses and families in the communities we have served for the last 139 years. As we look ahead, we are focused on disciplined credit management and maintaining a strong, well-positioned balance sheet."

Mr. Kleer concluded, "We also recently announced our proposed merger with Farmers Bancorp, a transaction we believe will enhance our scale, broaden our market presence, and strengthen our ability to serve customers across our combined footprint while preserving our community banking culture. We have received all required regulatory approvals, and shareholder voting is scheduled for later this quarter. As we move toward closing, we are focused on thoughtful execution and disciplined integration planning. As we move through the conversion and integration process, we expect some variability in reported earnings due to

------

timing of expenses and realization of cost savings. We anticipate these impacts to normalize as integration activities are completed and synergies are fully realized."

Net income was negatively impacted in the current quarter by nonrecurring expenses of $188,000, $263,000, and $150,000 related to core processor implementation fees, fraud losses, and real estate taxes paid on a nonaccrual loan, respectively.

**Income Statement Summary**

Net interest income before the provision for credit losses decreased $88,000, or 0.8%, to $11.4 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $11.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, and increased $1.2 million, or 11.6%, from $10.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2025 was due to a $2.4 million decrease in average net earning assets, partially offset by an increase in the average interest rate spread of three basis points. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase in net interest income was due to a 32 basis point increase in the average interest rate spread and a $16.0 million increase in average net earning assets.

Interest income decreased $718,000, or 3.3%, to $21.2 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $21.9 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and increased $294,000, or 1.4%, compared to $20.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Interest income on loans and leases decreased $640,000, or 3.2%, to $19.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to $19.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, due to an 18 basis point decrease in the average yield earned on loans and leases to 6.46%, and a $7.1 million decrease in the average balance of loans and leases. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, interest income on loans and leases increased $337,000, or 1.8%, due to a $2.5 million increase in the average balance of loans and leases and a 10 basis point increase in the average yield earned, reflecting new loans originated at higher rates and variable-rate loans repricing in the higher interest rate environment.

Interest income on investment securities, excluding FHLB stock, decreased $5,000, or 0.3%, to $1.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and decreased $70,000, or 4.2%, from the comparable quarter in 2025. The decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 was due to a three basis point decrease in the average yield earned, partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in the average balance of investment securities. The decrease

------

compared to the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a $5.3 million decrease in the average balance of investment securities, as proceeds from maturing and sold investment securities were used to fund loan growth, and a six basis point decrease in the average yield earned on investment securities. Dividends on FHLB stock decreased $11,000, or 3.6%, to $291,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2025, due to a 32 basis point decrease in the average yield on FHLB stock, and decreased $20,000, or 6.4%, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2025, due to a 58 basis point decrease in the average yield on FHLB stock.

Interest income on cash and cash equivalents decreased $63,000, or 26.0%, to $178,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and increased $47,000, or 35.9%, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a $5.2 million decrease in the average balance of cash and cash equivalents and a 29 basis point decrease in the average yield. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase in interest income was due to a $6.7 million increase in the average balance of cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a 29 basis point decrease in the average yield.

Interest expense decreased $630,000 or 6.1%, to $9.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and decreased $894,000, or 8.4%, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Interest expense on deposits decreased $536,000, or 6.8%, to $7.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to the previous quarter and decreased $546,000, or 7.0%, from the comparable quarter in 2025. The decrease from the previous quarter was primarily due to a $3.7 million decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits, primarily savings and money market accounts, and a 20 basis point decrease in the average rate paid. The decrease from the comparable quarter in 2025 was due to a 28 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $21.4 million increase in the average balance. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 2.89%, 3.09%, and 3.17% for the quarters ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively.

Interest expense on FHLB borrowings decreased $94,000, or 3.7%, to $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the previous quarter, and decreased $348,000, or 12.6%, from the comparable quarter in 2025. The decrease from the previous quarter was primarily due to a seven basis point decrease in the average rate paid on FHLB borrowings, and a $4.9 million decrease in the average balance. The decrease from the comparable quarter in 2025 was primarily due to a $33.6 million decrease in the average balance and a two basis point decrease in the average rate paid on FHLB borrowings. The average balance of FHLB borrowings totaled $241.1 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to $246.0 million and $274.7 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively. The average rate paid on FHLB borrowings was 4.01% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to 4.08% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and 4.03% for the first quarter of 2025.

Annualized net interest margin was 3.10% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 3.11% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 2.79% for the first quarter of 2025. The slight decline from the fourth quarter of 2025 reflects a decrease in average interest-earning assets, which more than offset improvements in both asset yields and funding costs. The improvement compared to the first quarter of 2025 was driven by higher asset yields, particularly on loans and leases, and lower funding costs. The Federal Open Market Committee maintained the target range at 3.50% to 3.75% through the first quarter of 2026 following rate reductions implemented in late 2025. The relatively stable rate environment during the quarter contributed to modest declines in the cost of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, while yields on earning assets decreased to a similar extent.

A provision for credit losses of $693,000 was recorded in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $409,000 in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $731,000 in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in the provision from the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in reserves placed on individually evaluated loans. Net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2026 were $347,000, compared to $369,000 in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $395,000 in the first quarter of 2025.

Noninterest income decreased $224,000, or 14.7%, to $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and increased $136,000, or 11.7%, from the comparable quarter in 2025. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily resulted from a decrease in loan and lease servicing fees of $175,000, or 65.2%, to $94,000 due to increased payoff fees on serviced loans received in the prior quarter. Card fee income also decreased $49,000, or 13.3%, to $317,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the prior quarter, reflecting lower transaction volume and usage resulting from seasonal fluctuations and contract income from our credit card provider recognized in the fourth quarter of 2025. Compared to the first quarter of 2025, the increase in noninterest income was largely attributable to higher net gains on loan and lease sales and other income. Net gains on loan and lease sales increased $78,000, or 82.0%, due to increased mortgage banking activity. Other income increased $32,000, or 8.8%, to $392,000 primarily as a result of increased wealth management income.

------

Total noninterest expense increased $166,000, or 1.9%, to $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, and increased $331,000, or 4.0%, compared to the same period in 2025. Data processing fees increased $185,000, or 18.4%, to $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to the prior quarter, and increased $290,000, or 32.2%, compared to the same quarter of 2025, primarily due to one-time core processor fees of $188,000 related to new product implementations. Other expenses decreased $198,000, or 13.2%, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the prior quarter and increased $213,000, or 19.5%, compared to the same quarter of 2025. The current quarter included $263,000 in check fraud losses related to a single customer and $150,000 in real estate taxes paid on a nonaccrual loan, while the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025 included $467,000 in nonrecurring merger-related expenses. Legal and professional fees increased $138,000, or 43.0%, from the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily as a result of merger-related costs, and decreased $72,000, or 13.6%, from the first quarter of 2025. Salaries and employee benefits were essentially unchanged at $4.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, and decreased $148,000 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2025, reflecting reduced equity compensation expense.

Income tax expense decreased $138,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and increased $214,000 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 was 16.8%, compared to 17.0% in the fourth quarter of 2025 and 15.0% in the first quarter a year ago.

**Balance Sheet Summary**

Total assets decreased $6.6 million, or 0.4%, to $1.5 billion at March 31, 2026, as compared to December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily the result of a $6.8 million, or 2.7%, decrease in investment securities, to $247.9 million, and a $2.7 million, or 0.2%, decrease in loans and leases, net of allowance for credit losses, to $1.2 billion, partially offset by a $1.7 million, or 5.0%, increase in cash and cash equivalents to $34.8 million.

Investment securities decreased $6.8 million, or 2.7%, to $247.9 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $254.7 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to $4.4 million in maturities and principal repayments and a $3.1 million downward mark-to-market adjustment on the available-for-sale investment portfolio, partially offset by $955,000 in purchases of investment securities. The proceeds from maturities and principal repayments were redeployed to support loan growth, consistent with the Company's strategy to prioritize higher-yielding assets in a moderating interest rate environment. While these portfolio shifts contributed to a decline in average balances and interest income from investment securities, they supported overall growth in net interest income and an improved net interest margin for the quarter.

The decrease in loans and leases was attributable to decreases in residential mortgage, direct financing leases, and consumer loans of $4.8 million, $2.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by a $2.7 million increase in commercial and industrial loans, and a $2.6 million increase in construction and development loans.

Nonperforming loans and leases, consisting of nonaccrual loans and leases and accruing loans and leases 90 days or more past due, totaled $17.6 million, or 1.48% of total loans and leases, at March 31, 2026, compared to $17.4 million, or 1.46%, at December 31, 2025. While total nonperforming loans were relatively stable, the composition shifted during the quarter: nonaccrual loans and leases increased $2.7 million, or 20.5%, to $15.9 million at March 31, 2026, from $13.2 million at December 31, 2025, primarily due to one multi-family loan of $2.4 million, which was past due 90 days or more at December 31, 2025. This increase was largely offset by a $2.5 million decrease in accruing loans and leases past due 90 days or more, which totaled $1.7 million at March 31, 2026, down from $4.2 million at December 31, 2025, as those credits were either resolved or moved to nonaccrual status.

The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases increased $274,000, or 1.7%, to $16.7 million, or 1.41% of total loans and leases, at March 31, 2026, from $16.5 million, or 1.38% of total loans and leases, at December 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses provided coverage of 95.0% of nonperforming loans and leases at March 31, 2026, compared to 94.6% at December 31, 2025. Net charge-offs during the first quarter of 2026 were $347,000, or an annualized 0.12% of average loans and leases, compared to $395,000 during the comparable quarter of 2025, reflecting continued low levels of realized credit losses.

Management regularly evaluates credit exposure across its loan portfolio and within its geographic markets. As of March 31, 2026, the Company's credit risk assessment incorporated ongoing inflationary pressures, capital market volatility, and geopolitical risks. Portfolio stress testing and credit metric monitoring are conducted on an ongoing basis, and management believes the allowance for credit losses remains appropriate given the current composition of the loan and lease portfolio, the level of individually evaluated reserves, and the continued low level of net charge-offs.

------

Total deposits decreased $8.5 million, or 0.8%, to $1.1 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025. The decrease in deposits from December 31, 2025 primarily was due to decreases in retail (non-brokered) time deposits of $13.9 million, and savings and money market accounts of $3.1 million, partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing demand deposits of $8.6 million. Brokered time deposits totaled $236.5 million, or 21.4% of total deposits, at March 31, 2026, compared to $235.9 million, or 21.2% of total deposits at December 31, 2025. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits totaled $99.4 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $100.1 million at December 31, 2025, and were 9.0% of total deposits at March 31, 2026.

Borrowings increased $4.0 million, or 1.6%, to $256.0 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $252.0 million at December 31, 2025, reflecting modest increases in FHLB advances. However, the average balance of FHLB borrowings decreased $4.9 million to $241.1 million during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, as the Company continued to reduce its reliance on wholesale funding over the course of the quarter.

Stockholders' equity totaled $144.9 million at March 31, 2026, a decrease of $871,000, or 0.6%, from December 31, 2025. The decrease in stockholders' equity primarily was the result of a $2.5 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a result of a reduction in fair values in the Company's available-for-sale investment portfolio, and the payment of $1.5 million in dividends to Company stockholders, partially offset by net income of $2.8 million
