Insights

Ponce Financial Group reports strong Q2 2025 with doubled EPS year-over-year, improved margins, and solid loan growth despite reduced non-performing loans.

Ponce Financial Group delivered notable improvements in its Q2 2025 results, with net income available to common stockholders reaching $5.8 million ($0.25 per diluted share), a substantial 87% increase from $3.1 million ($0.14 per diluted share) in Q2 2024. For the six-month period, earnings doubled to $0.50 per share compared to $0.25 in the same period last year.

The bank's performance was primarily driven by expanding net interest margin, which reached 3.27% in Q2 2025, up 29 basis points from the previous quarter and 65 basis points year-over-year. This margin expansion reflects the bank's strategic focus on high-yielding construction loans while successfully managing funding costs.

Loan growth has been robust at 7.53% since year-end 2024, with net loans receivable increasing to $2.46 billion. This growth has been funded by an 8.35% increase in deposits, which reached $2.04 billion. The bank reduced its borrowings by $60 million during this period, indicating improved liquidity management.

Credit quality metrics showed mixed signals. While non-performing loans decreased quarter-over-quarter from 0.88% to 0.76% of total assets, the bank recorded a $1.6 million provision for credit losses this quarter compared to a $0.3 million benefit in Q1 2025 and a $0.6 million benefit in Q2 2024. The allowance for credit losses now covers 101.01% of non-performing loans, up from 84.15% in the previous quarter.

Notably, the efficiency ratio improved significantly to 63.69% from 80.09% a year earlier, reflecting better cost control as non-interest expenses remained essentially flat year-over-year despite the bank's growth. This disciplined expense management has contributed materially to the bottom line.

Management highlighted their progress under the U.S. Treasury's Emergency Capital Investment Program, maintaining the lowest possible preferred stock dividend rate of 0.50% and achieving 80% deep impact lending over the past 12 quarters – well above the 60% threshold required for preferred stock repurchase eligibility.

The bank's capital position remains strong with total capital to risk-weighted assets at 22.65% for the holding company and 21.22% at the bank level, providing substantial cushion above regulatory requirements despite slight declines from the previous year.

President and Chief Executive Officer’s Comments

Carlos P. Naudon, Ponce Financial Group, Inc.’s President and CEO, stated “We continue to execute on our strategy of prudent growth and incremental profitability. Our diluted earnings per share of $0.50 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, doubled from the same period last year driven by incremental net interest income and non-interest income while keeping non-interest expenses almost flat. Our net interest margin this quarter increased by 29 basis points compared to the prior quarter, reflecting both our high-yielding construction loans and our decreasing borrowing costs. Our non-performing loans also decreased this quarter. All-in-all, a very good quarter in these turbulent and uncertain times.” 

Executive Chairman’s Comment

Steven A. Tsavaris, Ponce Financial Group’s Executive Chairman, added “We continue to make progress towards our commitments under the U.S. Treasury’s Emergency Capital Investment Program. As we previously communicated, given our level of originations from April 2024 to March 2025, we have ensured another year of the lowest possible preferred stock dividend of 0.50%. Regarding next year’s dividend period, we’re at 69% of the goal to qualify for the 0.50% rate with three more quarters to go. Also, we’re mindful of our percentage of deep impact lending, as we need to be at 60% or above for 16 quarters cumulatively, as a condition to buy the preferred stock back. After 12 quarters, including the quarter ended June 30, 2025, we are at 80% deep impact lending.”

The $2.9 million increase of net income for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 was largely due to increases of $6.5 million in net interest income, partially offset by increases of $2.5 million in provision for credit losses, $0.7 million in provision for income taxes and $0.2 million in non-interest expense and a decrease of $0.2 million in non-interest income.
