First US Bancshares (NASDAQ:FUSB) reported Q2 2025 net income of $0.2 million ($0.03 per diluted share), down significantly from $1.8 million in Q1 2025 and $2.1 million in Q2 2024. The decline was primarily due to a substantial $2.7 million provision for credit losses.

Key metrics include: Net interest margin increased to 3.59% (up 6 basis points from Q1), total loans grew by 2.7% to $871.4 million, and total deposits increased by 2.6% to $986.8 million. The company's loan growth was primarily driven by a $25.1 million increase in consumer indirect loans and $12.4 million growth in multi-family residential real estate.

Asset quality metrics showed some deterioration with net charge-offs increasing to 0.79% of average loans in Q2 2025, compared to 0.13% in Q1 2025, primarily due to a $1.2 million partial charge-off of one commercial loan and increased indirect portfolio losses.

First US Bancshares (NASDAQ:FUSB) ha riportato un utile netto per il secondo trimestre 2025 di 0,2 milioni di dollari (0,03 dollari per azione diluita), in forte calo rispetto a 1,8 milioni nel primo trimestre 2025 e 2,1 milioni nel secondo trimestre 2024. Il calo è stato principalmente causato da una consistente rettifica per perdite su crediti di 2,7 milioni di dollari.

I principali indicatori mostrano: margine di interesse netto aumentato al 3,59% (in crescita di 6 punti base rispetto al primo trimestre), i prestiti totali sono cresciuti del 2,7% raggiungendo 871,4 milioni di dollari e i depositi totali sono aumentati del 2,6% a 986,8 milioni di dollari. La crescita dei prestiti è stata trainata principalmente da un incremento di 25,1 milioni di dollari nei prestiti indiretti al consumo e da una crescita di 12,4 milioni di dollari nel settore immobiliare residenziale multifamiliare.

Gli indicatori di qualità degli attivi hanno mostrato un leggero peggioramento con le perdite nette su crediti salite allo 0,79% sui prestiti medi nel secondo trimestre 2025, rispetto allo 0,13% del primo trimestre 2025, principalmente a causa di una parziale svalutazione di 1,2 milioni di dollari su un prestito commerciale e dell’aumento delle perdite nel portafoglio indiretto.

First US Bancshares (NASDAQ:FUSB) reportó un ingreso neto en el segundo trimestre de 2025 de 0,2 millones de dólares (0,03 dólares por acción diluida), una caída significativa respecto a los 1,8 millones en el primer trimestre de 2025 y 2,1 millones en el segundo trimestre de 2024. La disminución se debió principalmente a una provisión sustancial para pérdidas crediticias de 2,7 millones de dólares.

Las métricas clave incluyen: el margen neto de interés aumentó a 3,59% (6 puntos básicos más que en el primer trimestre), los préstamos totales crecieron un 2,7% hasta 871,4 millones de dólares y los depósitos totales aumentaron un 2,6% hasta 986,8 millones de dólares. El crecimiento de los préstamos de la compañía fue impulsado principalmente por un aumento de 25,1 millones de dólares en préstamos indirectos al consumidor y un crecimiento de 12,4 millones de dólares en bienes raíces residenciales multifamiliares.

Las métricas de calidad de activos mostraron cierto deterioro con las cancelaciones netas aumentando a 0,79% de los préstamos promedio en el segundo trimestre de 2025, comparado con 0,13% en el primer trimestre de 2025, principalmente debido a una cancelación parcial de 1,2 millones de dólares de un préstamo comercial y al aumento de pérdidas en la cartera indirecta.

First US Bancshares (NASDAQ:FUSB)는 2025년 2분기 순이익이 0.2백만 달러(희석 주당 0.03달러)로 2025년 1분기 1.8백만 달러 및 2024년 2분기 2.1백만 달러에 비해 크게 감소했다고 보고했습니다. 이 감소는 주로 2.7백만 달러의 대손충당금 때문입니다.

주요 지표로는 순이자마진이 3.59%로 1분기 대비 6bp 상승, 총 대출금이 2.7% 증가하여 8억7,140만 달러, 총 예금은 2.6% 증가하여 9억8,680만 달러에 달했습니다. 회사의 대출 성장은 주로 소비자 간접대출이 2,510만 달러 증가하고 다세대 주거용 부동산 대출이 1,240만 달러 증가한 데 기인합니다.

자산 건전성 지표는 일부 악화를 보였으며, 2025년 2분기 순대손비용이 평균 대출의 0.79%로 2025년 1분기 0.13%에서 증가했는데, 이는 주로 한 건의 상업용 대출에 대한 120만 달러 부분 대손상각과 간접 포트폴리오 손실 증가 때문입니다.

First US Bancshares (NASDAQ:FUSB) a annoncé un bénéfice net au deuxième trimestre 2025 de 0,2 million de dollars (0,03 dollar par action diluée), en forte baisse par rapport à 1,8 million au premier trimestre 2025 et 2,1 millions au deuxième trimestre 2024. Cette baisse est principalement due à une importante provision pour pertes sur crédits de 2,7 millions de dollars.

Les indicateurs clés incluent : la marge nette d'intérêt a augmenté à 3,59% (en hausse de 6 points de base par rapport au premier trimestre), les prêts totaux ont augmenté de 2,7% pour atteindre 871,4 millions de dollars et les dépôts totaux ont progressé de 2,6% à 986,8 millions de dollars. La croissance des prêts de la société a été principalement alimentée par une augmentation de 25,1 millions de dollars des prêts indirects à la consommation et une croissance de 12,4 millions de dollars dans l'immobilier résidentiel multifamilial.

Les indicateurs de qualité des actifs ont montré une certaine détérioration avec une augmentation des pertes nettes sur créances à 0,79% des prêts moyens au deuxième trimestre 2025, contre 0,13% au premier trimestre 2025, principalement en raison d'une radiation partielle de 1,2 million de dollars sur un prêt commercial et d'une augmentation des pertes dans le portefeuille indirect.

First US Bancshares (NASDAQ:FUSB) meldete für das zweite Quartal 2025 einen Nettogewinn von 0,2 Millionen US-Dollar (0,03 US-Dollar je verwässerter Aktie), was einen deutlichen Rückgang gegenüber 1,8 Millionen im ersten Quartal 2025 und 2,1 Millionen im zweiten Quartal 2024 darstellt. Der Rückgang ist hauptsächlich auf eine erhebliche Rückstellung für Kreditausfälle in Höhe von 2,7 Millionen US-Dollar zurückzuführen.

Wichtige Kennzahlen umfassen: Die Nettozinsmarge stieg auf 3,59% (ein Anstieg um 6 Basispunkte gegenüber dem ersten Quartal), die Gesamtkredite wuchsen um 2,7% auf 871,4 Millionen US-Dollar, und die Gesamteinlagen stiegen um 2,6% auf 986,8 Millionen US-Dollar. Das Kreditwachstum des Unternehmens wurde hauptsächlich durch einen Anstieg der indirekten Verbraucherkredite um 25,1 Millionen US-Dollar und ein Wachstum im Bereich Mehrfamilienwohnimmobilien um 12,4 Millionen US-Dollar getrieben.

Die Kennzahlen zur Vermögensqualität zeigten eine Verschlechterung, da die netto abgeschriebenen Forderungen auf 0,79% der durchschnittlichen Kredite im zweiten Quartal 2025 anstiegen, verglichen mit 0,13% im ersten Quartal 2025, hauptsächlich aufgrund einer teilweisen Abschreibung von 1,2 Millionen US-Dollar auf einen gewerblichen Kredit und gestiegener Verluste im indirekten Portfolio.

Insights

FUSB reports significant earnings decline due to increased credit loss provisions, though net interest margin and loan growth show positive signs.

First US Bancshares reported a substantial drop in earnings for Q2 2025, with net income falling to just $0.2 million ($0.03 per diluted share) compared to $1.8 million ($0.29 per diluted share) in Q1 2025 and $2.1 million ($0.34 per diluted share) in Q2 2024. This 91% year-over-year decline was primarily driven by a significant increase in provisions for credit losses.

The bank recorded a $2.7 million provision for credit losses in Q2 2025, compared to no provision in the same quarter last year. This substantial provision stemmed from two factors: growth in the indirect consumer lending portfolio (accounting for $1.4 million of the provision) and specific reserves of $0.9 million added for two individually evaluated commercial loans. Net charge-offs spiked to 0.79% of average loans in Q2 2025, up from 0.10% a year earlier, including a $1.2 million partial charge-off on one commercial loan.

Despite the earnings pressure, several underlying metrics showed improvement. The bank's loan portfolio grew by 2.7% during the quarter and 5.9% year-to-date, reaching $871.4 million. This growth was primarily driven by the indirect consumer lending segment (focused on high-credit score recreational equipment financing), which increased by $25.1 million, and multi-family residential loans, which grew by $12.4 million.

Net interest margin improved to 3.59% from 3.53% in the previous quarter, though it remains below the 3.69% reported in Q2 2024. Total deposits increased by $24.9 million (2.6%) during the quarter, though the bank has increasingly relied on non-core funding sources, with core deposits declining from 86.1% to 82.7% of total deposits since year-end 2024.

The bank's asset quality metrics showed mixed signals. While nonperforming assets decreased to 0.33% of total assets from 0.50% at year-end 2024, the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans increased to 1.31% from 1.24%, reflecting growing concerns about potential future loan losses, particularly in the rapidly growing indirect consumer portfolio.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Second Quarter Highlights:

CEO Commentary

"During the second quarter, we recorded a significant provision for credit losses associated with growth in indirect consumer lending, combined with an uptick in net charge-offs in the category, as well as the application of additional reserves on two individually evaluated commercial loans," stated James F. House, President and CEO of the Company. "While the additional provisioning had a pronounced impact on earnings for both the quarter and year-to-date period, we are encouraged by increases in both net interest margin and total loans during the quarter. Net interest margin expanded by six basis points compared to the previous quarter, and total loans grew by 2.7% during the quarter, bringing year-to-date loan growth to 5.9%. Our pre-tax pre-provision net revenue also increased by 0.9% compared to 1Q2025 and by 5.2% compared to 2Q2024," continued Mr. House. "All of these measures help build a solid base for the future."

Total loans increased by $23.1 million in 2Q2025, driven primarily by growth of $25.1 million in consumer indirect loans during the quarter. The indirect lending platform focuses on recreational and equipment consumer lending on the higher end of the credit spectrum. Collateral financed in the indirect portfolio primarily includes boats, recreational vehicles, campers, horse trailers and cargo trailers. The weighted average credit score of new indirect loans financed during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 798, while the weighted average credit score for the entire portfolio was 781. In addition to the indirect portfolio, the Company also grew its multi-family residential real estate loan category by $12.4 million in 2Q2025. Loan growth during 2Q2025 was partially offset by reductions primarily in the construction and C&I categories. Total loan volume averaged $857.7 million during 2Q2025 compared to $824.5 million during 1Q2025 and $819.6 million during 2Q2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, average loan balances increased by $20.4 million, or 2.5%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Net Interest Income and Margin – Net interest income in 2Q2025 increased by $0.6 million, or 6.5%, compared to 1Q2025 and increased by $0.3 million, or 3.3%, compared to 2Q2024. Net interest margin was 3.59% for 2Q2025 compared to 3.53% for 1Q2025 and 3.69% for 2Q2024. The increase in net interest margin compared to the prior quarter resulted from increased average loan volume, as well as increases in yields on loans and investments. The decrease in net interest margin compared to 2Q2024 resulted primarily from yield reductions on loans that occurred following the reduction of the Federal Funds rate during the latter part of 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net interest margin was 3.56% compared to 3.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Provision for Credit Losses – During 2Q2025, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.7 million, bringing the total provision for credit losses to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. No provision for credit losses was recorded in 2Q2024 or for the six months ended June 30, 2024. In both 2Q2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2025, the provision for credit losses resulted primarily from significant growth in the consumer indirect category, combined with an increase in net charge-offs in the category, as well as from additional reserves on two individually evaluated commercial loans. For 2Q2025, $1.4 million of the provision was associated with the indirect consumer portfolio, while $0.9 million was associated with specific reserves added for the two individually evaluated loans, with the remaining $0.4 million associated with various factors, including changes in economic forecasting data and increases in the allowance for unfunded commitments. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, $2.3 million of the provision was associated with the indirect consumer portfolio, while $0.9 million was associated with specific reserves added for the two individually evaluated loans. As of June 30, 2025, the Company's allowance for credit losses ("ACL") on loans and leases as a percentage of total loans was 1.31%, compared to 1.24% as of December 31, 2024.          

Pre-tax Pre-provision Net Revenue ("PPNR") – PPNR totaled $2.9 million in both 2Q2025 and 1Q2025, compared to $2.7 million in 2Q2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, PPNR totaled $5.7 million compared to $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. As a percentage of average assets, PPNR totaled 1.03% in 2Q2025 compared to 1.06% in 1Q2025 and 1.03% in 2Q2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, PPNR as a percentage of average assets was 1.05% compared to 1.04% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Refer to the non-GAAP reconciliation of PPNR beginning on page 11.

Deposits –Total deposits increased by $24.9 million, or 2.6%, during 2Q2025, due primarily to increases in interest-bearing demand deposit accounts, as well as the addition of brokered certificates of deposit obtained to assist in the management of deposit costs. Core deposits, which exclude time deposits of $250 thousand or more and all wholesale brokered deposits, totaled $816.1 million, or 82.7% of total deposits, as of June 30, 2025, compared to $837.7 million, or 86.1% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2024.      

Short-term Borrowings – As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $35.0 million in short-term borrowings outstanding compared to $10.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2024. The short-term borrowings were held as part of the Company's efforts to maintain on-balance sheet liquidity levels while repricing deposits at lower rates. As of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all outstanding short-term borrowings had remaining maturities of less than 30 days. The amount outstanding as of June 30, 2025 included $20.0 million borrowed from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB") and $15.0 million borrowed from the Federal Reserve Bank's ("FRB") discount window. As of December 31, 2024, all short-term borrowings outstanding were borrowed exclusively from the FHLB.

Deployment of Funds – As of June 30, 2025, the Company held cash, federal funds sold and securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements totaling $58.8 million, or 5.1% of total assets, compared to $52.9 million, or 4.8% of total assets, as of December 31, 2024. Investment securities, including both the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios, totaled $157.1 million as of June 30, 2025 compared to $168.6 million as of December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, the expected average life of securities in the investment portfolio was 3.7 years compared to 3.6 years as of December 31, 2024.             

Asset Quality – Nonperforming assets, including loans in non-accrual status and other real estate owned, totaled $3.7 million as of June 30, 2025 compared to $5.5 million as of December 31, 2024. As a percentage of total assets, nonperforming assets totaled 0.33% as of June 30, 2025 compared to 0.50% as of December 31, 2024. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans totaled 0.79% during 2Q2025 compared to 0.13% during 1Q2025 and 0.10% during 2Q2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans totaled 0.47% compared to 0.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net charge-offs in both 2Q2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2025 was due to a partial charge-off of one individually evaluated commercial loan of $1.2 million during 2Q2025, as well as an increase in charge-offs associated with the indirect portfolio. During 2Q2025, net charge-offs associated with the indirect portfolio totaled $0.6 million compared to $0.3 million in both 1Q2025 and 2Q2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net charge-offs associated with the indirect portfolio totaled $0.9 million, compared to $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.    

Non-interest Income – Non-interest income remained relatively consistent, totaling $0.8 million in 2Q2025 compared to $0.9 million in 1Q2025 and $0.8 million in 2Q2024. For both six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, non-interest income totaled $1.7 million.

Non-interest Expense – Non-interest expense totaled $7.4 million in 2Q2025, compared to $6.9 million in 1Q2025 and $7.3 million in 2Q2024.  The expense increase comparing 2Q2025 to 1Q2025 resulted primarily from increases in salaries and benefits and fees for professional services. For both six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, non-interest expense totaled $14.4 million.   

Shareholders' Equity – As of June 30, 2025, shareholders' equity totaled $101.9 million, or 8.91% of total assets, compared to $98.6 million, or 8.96% of total assets, as of December 31, 2024. The increase in shareholders' equity during the six months ended June 30, 2025 resulted primarily from earnings, net of dividends paid and repurchases of shares of the Company's common stock. In addition, shareholders' equity was positively impacted during the period by reductions in the Company's accumulated other comprehensive loss resulting from changes in market interest rates, as well as the maturity of lower yielding investment securities. The Company's ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets was 8.31% as of June 30, 2025 compared to 8.33% as of December 31, 2024.  

Cash Dividend – In 2Q2025, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.07 per share on its common stock, consistent with the dividend paid in 1Q2025. The Company's cash dividend was increased in 4Q2024 compared to a dividend declared of $0.05 per share in each of the first three quarters of 2024.

Share Repurchases – The Company did not repurchase shares of its common stock during 2Q2025. During 1Q2025, the Company completed the repurchase of 40,000 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $13.38 per share. The repurchases were completed under the Company's previously announced share repurchase program. As of June 30, 2025, 872,813 shares remained available for repurchase under the program.

Regulatory Capital – During 2Q2025, the Bank continued to maintain capital ratios at higher levels than required to be considered a "well-capitalized" institution under applicable banking regulations. As of June 30, 2025, the Bank's common equity Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios were each 10.70%, its total capital ratio was 11.93%, and its Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.23%.

Liquidity – As of June 30, 2025, the Company continued to maintain funding capacity sufficient to provide adequate liquidity for loan growth, capital expenditures and ongoing operations. The Company benefits from a strong core deposit base, a liquid investment securities portfolio and access to funding from a variety of sources, including federal funds lines with other banking institutions, FHLB advances, the FRB's discount window, and brokered deposits. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section for additional discussion of measures of the Company's liquidity.

Banking Center Growth – During 2Q2025, the Company continued its renovation of a banking center office in Daphne, Alabama that was purchased from another financial institution. This location is expected to serve as the Bank's initial deposit gathering facility in the Daphne/Mobile area. It is currently anticipated that the location will open to the public during the first half of 2026. In addition, at the end of 2Q2025, the Company purchased land in Mobile, Alabama. It is intended that the land will be developed into an office complex that will house the Company's indirect lending operation, as well as provide an additional banking center in the area.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial results presented in this press release that have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company's management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are beneficial to the reader. These non-GAAP measures have been provided to enhance overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance and position. Management believes that these presentations provide meaningful comparisons of financial performance and position in various periods and can be used as a supplement to the GAAP-based measures presented in this press release. The non-GAAP financial results presented should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that both GAAP measures of the Company's financial performance and the respective non-GAAP measures should be considered together.

The non-GAAP measures and ratios that have been provided in this press release include measures of liquidity, pre-tax pre-provision net revenue, tangible assets and equity. Discussion of these measures and ratios is included below, along with reconciliations of such non-GAAP measures to GAAP amounts included in the consolidated financial statements previously presented in this press release.

The table above calculates readily available liquidity by combining cash and cash equivalents, federal funds sold, securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements and unencumbered investment security values on the Company's consolidated balance sheet with off-balance sheet liquidity that is readily available through unused collateral pledged to the FHLB and FRB, as well as unsecured lines of credit with other banks. Liquidity from pledgable investment securities and total readily available liquidity are non-GAAP measures used by management and regulators to analyze a portion of the Company's liquidity. Management uses these measures to evaluate the Company's liquidity position.

Pledgable investment securities are considered by management as a readily available source of liquidity since the Company has the ability to pledge the securities with the FHLB or FRB to obtain immediate funding. Both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities may be pledged at fair value with the FHLB and through the FRB discount window. The amounts shown as liquidity from pledgable investment securities represent total investment securities as recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, less reductions for securities already pledged and discounts expected to be taken by the lender to determine collateral value.

The unused lendable collateral value at the FHLB presented in the table represents only the amount immediately available to the Company from loans already pledged by the Company to the FHLB as of each consolidated balance sheet date presented. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company's total remaining credit availability with the FHLB was $298.0 million and $319.9 million, respectively, subject to the pledging of additional collateral which may include eligible investment securities and loans. In addition, the Company has access to additional sources of liquidity that generally could be obtained over a period of time, including access to unsecured brokered deposits through the wholesale funding markets. Management believes the Company's on-balance sheet and other readily available liquidity provide strong indicators of the Company's ability to fund obligations in a stressed liquidity environment.

Excluding wholesale brokered deposits, as of June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately 28 thousand deposit accounts with an average balance of approximately $31.1 thousand per account. Estimated uninsured deposits (calculated as deposit amounts per deposit holder in excess of $250 thousand, the maximum amount of federal deposit insurance, and excluding deposits secured by pledged assets) totaled $202.5 million, or 20.5% of total deposits, as of June 30, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, estimated uninsured deposits totaled $216.8 million, or 22.2% of total deposits.

Pre-tax Pre-provision Net Revenue

The Company utilizes pre-tax pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR") as a supplemental measure of profitability in addition to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including income before income taxes and net income. PPNR measures the Company's profitability before accounting for the provisions for credit losses and income taxes. Management believes PPNR provides a means to effectively measure the Company's core operating profitability on a trended basis. In management's experience, PPNR and PPNR as a percentage of average assets are commonly used by stock analysts and investors in conjunction with their evaluation of financial institutions. The table below reconciles the Company's calculation of PPNR to amounts recorded in accordance with GAAP.

Tangible Balances and Measures

In addition to capital ratios defined by GAAP and banking regulators, the Company utilizes various tangible common equity measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy. These measures, which are presented in the financial tables in this press release, may also include calculations of tangible assets. As defined by the Company, tangible common equity represents shareholders' equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, while tangible assets represent total assets less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.

Management believes that the measures of tangible equity are important because they reflect the level of capital available to withstand unexpected market conditions. In addition, presentation of these measures allows readers to compare certain aspects of the Company's capitalization to other organizations. In management's experience, many stock analysts use tangible common equity measures in conjunction with more traditional bank capital ratios to compare capital adequacy of banking organizations with significant amounts of goodwill or other intangible assets that typically result from the use of the purchase accounting method in accounting for mergers and acquisitions.

These calculations are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by GAAP and banking regulators. Because GAAP does not include these measures, management believes that there are no comparable GAAP financial measures to the tangible common equity ratios that the Company utilizes. Despite the importance of these measures to the Company, there are no standardized definitions for the measures, and, therefore, the Company's calculations may not be comparable with those of other organizations. In addition, there may be limits to the usefulness of these measures to investors. Accordingly, management encourages readers to consider the Company's consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. The table below reconciles the Company's calculations of these measures to amounts reported in accordance with GAAP.
