Merchants Bancorp Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results
Rhea-AI Summary
Merchants Bancorp (NASDAQ: MBIN) reported second quarter 2025 results with net income of $38.0 million, showing a significant 50% decrease from Q2 2024 and 35% decline from Q1 2025. The company's diluted EPS was $0.60, down 60% year-over-year.
The decline was primarily attributed to a $43.1 million increase in provision for credit losses, mainly due to multi-family property value declines and ongoing mortgage fraud investigations. Despite challenges, the company achieved a record-high tangible book value per share of $35.42, up 13% year-over-year.
Notable metrics include total assets of $19.1 billion (up 2% quarterly), core deposits reaching $11.4 billion (90% of total deposits), and completion of a $373.3 million Freddie Mac-sponsored Q-Series securitization. The company maintains strong liquidity with $5.0 billion in unused borrowing capacity.
