DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- FirstSun Capital Bancorp (“FirstSun”) (NASDAQ: FSUN) reported net income of $23.2 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to net income of $22.4 million for the third quarter of 2024.

Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $23.7 million or $0.84 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2024.

Neal Arnold, FirstSun’s Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, “The results for this quarter continue to demonstrate the fundamental strength of our core franchise. The quarter was highlighted by a consistently strong net interest margin of 4.07%, healthy loan growth of 10.6% and a diversified revenue mix with service fees to total revenue of 24.5%. While we did experience higher credit costs this quarter, our operating results remain strong. We remain focused on the great opportunity provided by the robust business environment across our high growth southwestern and western footprint to further grow our franchise and deliver strong financial results.”

Third Quarter 2025 Results

Net income totaled $23.2 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $26.4 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, for the prior quarter.

The return on average total assets was 1.09% for the third quarter of 2025, compared to 1.28% for the prior quarter, and the return on average stockholders’ equity was 8.22% for the third quarter of 2025, compared to 9.74% for the prior quarter.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $81.0 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of $2.5 million compared to the prior quarter. Our net interest margin of 4.07% was unchanged compared to the prior quarter. Results for the third quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter, were primarily driven by an increase of two basis points in the yield on earning assets and increase of $160.5 million in average earnings assets, offset by an increase of six basis points in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and increase of $76.6 million in average interest-bearing liabilities.

Average loans, including loans held-for-sale, increased by $46.7 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter. Loan yield increased by six basis points to 6.49% in the third quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to higher yields on new originations as compared to amortizing and maturing balances. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $79.7 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter. Total cost of interest-bearing deposits increased by three basis points to 2.81% in the third quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to an increase in promotional rate money market deposit balances, partially offset by a decrease in certificates of deposit balances.

Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses totaled $10.1 million for the third quarter of 2025 primarily due to deterioration in a specific commercial and industrial (“C&I”) customer relationship, impacts from net changes in loan portfolio balances, and impacts from net portfolio downgrades.

Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2025 were $9.1 million resulting in an annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average loans of 0.55%, compared to net charge-offs of $13.5 million, or an annualized ratio of net-charge offs to average loans of 0.83% for the prior quarter. Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2025 were elevated primarily due to a write-down related to a specific customer relationship in our C&I loan portfolio.

The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.26% at September 30, 2025, a decrease of two basis points from the prior quarter. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.98% at September 30, 2025, compared to 0.80% at June 30, 2025.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $26.3 million for the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of $0.7 million from the prior quarter. Mortgage banking income decreased $0.6 million for the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in fair value impact, net of hedging, related to interest rate lock commitments and loans held-for-sale, partially offset by an increase in gain on sales driven by higher margins.

Other noninterest income decreased $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in loan syndication and agency fees.

Noninterest income as a percentage of total revenue¹ was 24.5%, a decrease of 1.1% from the prior quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $68.9 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of $0.8 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to an increase in salary and employee benefits of $0.9 million resulting from an increase in headcount of C&I bankers and support personnel, in addition to higher medical insurance costs.

The efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2025 was 64.22% compared to 64.52% for the prior quarter.

Tax Rate

The effective tax rate was 18.1% for the third quarter of 2025, compared to 20.0% for the prior quarter.

Loans

Loans were $6.7 billion at September 30, 2025 and $6.5 billion at June 30, 2025, increasing $174.6 million in the third quarter of 2025, or 10.6% on an annualized basis, primarily due to an increase of $165.9 million in commercial and industrial, and an increase of $49.0 million in multifamily, partially offset by a decrease of $40.2 million in construction and land.

Deposits

Deposits were $7.1 billion at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, an increase of $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2025, or 0.3% on an annualized basis, primarily due to growth of $65.9 million in interest-bearing demand accounts, and $56.8 million in savings and money market accounts, partially offset by a decrease of $75.8 million in certificates of deposits, and $32.2 million in non-interest-bearing demand deposit accounts. Average deposits increased $134.8 million in the third quarter of 2025, or 7.7% on an annualized basis, compared to the prior quarter.

Noninterest-bearing deposit accounts represented 23.6% of total deposits at September 30, 2025 and the loan-to-deposit ratio was 94.0% at September 30, 2025.

Capital

Capital ratios remain strong and above “well-capitalized” thresholds. As of September 30, 2025, our common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 13.79%, total risk-based capital ratio was 15.81% and tier 1 leverage ratio was 12.44%. Book value per share was $40.48 at September 30, 2025, an increase of $1.13 from June 30, 2025. Tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $36.92 at September 30, 2025, an increase of $1.15 from June 30, 2025.

Subsequent Event

On October 1, 2025, FirstSun Capital Bancorp redeemed the entire principal amount, or $40 million, of its 6.000% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes Due July 1, 2030.

FirstSun management believes investors may find these non-GAAP financial measures useful. These non-GAAP financial measures, however, should not be viewed as a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
