LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AMERICAN BUSINESS BANK (OTCQX: AMBZ) today reported net income of $13.2 million or $1.42 per fully diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to $11.9 million or $1.27 per fully diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and $9.5 million or $1.02 per fully diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, representing an increase of 11% and 39%, respectively.

“Loan growth over the last year and quarter combined with higher loan yields continues to drive net interest margin expansion and earnings growth over the prior quarter and year periods. Profitability metrics for the quarter were a Return on Average Equity of 14% and a Return on Average Assets of 1.26%. In addition, business momentum and the loan pipeline remains solid as prospects and existing customers are strong and continue to grow.”

“We are pleased with the core deposit growth for the quarter mainly from existing customers. Some of this growth was event-driven and will not remain on the balance sheet over the long term. The deposit pipeline of new customer relationships remains solid and should drive further core deposit growth in the year. The key to our success continues to be attracting new business clients by differentiating ourselves with professional bankers who deliver business acumen coupled with high touch service,” commented Leon Blankstein, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Director.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, net interest income was $36.8 million, a 27% increase compared to the prior year quarter. The higher average balance of loans along with an increase in loan yields contributed to the increase in interest income compared to the prior year quarter.

The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans was 1.10% at June 30, 2025 and 1.11% at March 31, 2025, respectively. A provision of $0.4 million was recorded for the quarter to increase the allowance for credit losses due to growth in the loan portfolio which was offset by the reduction in the reserve for unfunded loan commitments.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net income was higher compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to higher average balance of loans along with a decrease in the cost of borrowings.

Net Interest Margin

The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2025 increased to 3.58% from 3.47% for the prior quarter and 3.00% for the prior year quarter. The increase compared to the prior quarter is primarily due to an increase in average loans with higher interest rates along with a reduction of interest expense on deposits from lower rates and no borrowings. The loan yield for the month of June was 5.62%. As of June 30, 2025, 59% of the loan portfolio was fixed rate with a weighted average remaining life of 64 months. Approximately 46% of variable rate loans are indexed to prime of which $508 million are adjustable within 90 days of a change in prime. The Bank has experienced net interest margin expansion for the past four consecutive quarters.

Net Interest Income

For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, net interest income increased by $2 million, or 6%, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to growth in loans. For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, net interest income increased by $7.7 million, or 27%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2024. This increase in net interest income was attributable to an increase in the average balance of loans coupled with no borrowings in the second quarter of 2025. Interest income was further enhanced in the second quarter by higher rates on the loan portfolio. For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the cost of deposits was 1.16% representing a decrease of 3 bps compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The loan-to-deposit ratio was 75% as of June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

Non-Interest Income

The decrease in non-interest income compared to the prior quarter and to the prior year quarter is primarily due to losses on the sale of select lower yielding investment securities that were sold as rates declined near the end of the quarter.

Non-Interest Expense

For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, total non-interest expense increased $0.7 million and $2.2 million compared to the prior quarter and the prior year quarter, respectively. The increase over the prior year quarter was primarily due to an increase of new employees with higher salary and employee benefit expenses. The increase over the prior quarter reflected higher bonuses commensurate with increased profitability. The efficiency ratio decreased to 50% for the second quarter compared to 52% for the first quarter of 2025 and 55% for the second quarter of 2024.

There were 251 full time equivalent employees at June 30, 2025 compared to 243 a year ago and 252 at March 31, 2025. The Bank has 48 relationship managers in nine offices compared to 50 at March 31, 2025 and 44 at June 30, 2024.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, non-interest expense increased $4.5 million or 13% compared to the same period a year ago, mainly due to increases in salaries and employee benefits.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 27.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, 27.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and 28.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. On June 27, California enacted S.B. 132, which changed apportionment for financial institutions to single-sales apportionment for tax years beginning January 1, 2025. This resulted in a California state tax rate increase and a net benefit increase to deferred tax assets of $108 thousand.

Balance Sheet

For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, total loans increased $63 million, or 2% compared to the prior quarter. The majority of this increase was in owner-occupied commercial real estate loans secured by industrial collateral. The increase in Commercial and Industrial (C&I) loans is mainly due to an increase in line utilization. At June 30, 2025, the utilization rate for the Bank’s commercial lines of credit increased to 30.1%, a 1.0% increase compared to March 31, 2025.

During the second quarter of 2025, non-performing assets decreased by $0.2 million. The Bank believes that it is well positioned with collateral and SBA enhancements, therefore no loss is expected on the credits. As of June 30, 2025, NPAs have a $461 thousand allowance on individually evaluated loans related to six non-performing C&I loans. The decline in Criticized loans was due to a payoff upon consummation of a property sale by the borrower.

The loan portfolio has approximately 10% in office collateral of which the majority is owner-occupied, and substantially all are three stories or under and located in suburban markets.

Our commercial real estate lending is primarily owner-occupied which is not dependent on rent rolls, but reliant on the cash flows of the operating business that occupies the property. C&I and owner-occupied commercial real estate portfolios comprise 63% of total loans while non-owner occupied represent 26% of total loans.

As of June 30, 2025, the loan portfolio has one piece of collateral on a commercial property that had been destroyed by the January fires in Los Angeles county; the property has adequate insurance coverage.

The following table represents the allowance for credit losses for loans as of and for the dates and periods indicated:
