Farmers&Merchants Bank&Trust (FDIC cert 10382) is a community bank — $164M in total assets, $137M in deposits, serving the Marinette, Wisconsin area. Community banks make up the largest share of U.S. banks by count but a much smaller share by assets.

Capital position is strong: Tier 1 capital ratio of 15.81% sits comfortably above the 8% well-capitalized regulatory threshold and the 10% well-capitalized-plus floor for community banks. Strong capital is the first line of defense against unexpected loan losses. Asset quality is normal: non-performing loan ratio of 1.39% sits in the typical 0.5-2% range for healthy U.S. banks. Some NPL is unavoidable in any meaningful lending portfolio. Liquidity is comfortable: 26.9% of assets in liquid form — sufficient to cover meaningful deposit-outflow scenarios without forced asset sales.

Profitability is thin: ROA of 0.60% runs below the 1% benchmark. Thin margins can reflect cyclical net-interest-margin pressure, elevated provisions for loan losses, or operating-cost inefficiency. Health-score trend is declining materially over the most recent quarters. Declining trends warrant attention — banks in this pattern often face follow-on regulatory engagement and elevated supervisory scrutiny. Farmers&Merchants Bank&Trust carries a composite BankHealth grade of A (83/100) as of the 2024-06 Call Report filing. The grade combines capital ratios (Tier 1), asset quality (non-performing loans), liquidity, and profitability into a single signal.
