VersaBank (NASDAQ: VBNK) reported strong Q3 2025 financial results, with total revenue increasing 17% year-over-year to a record $31.6 million. The bank's total assets grew 21% year-over-year to $5.5 billion, driven by expansion of its Receivable Purchase Program (RPP) portfolio in both US and Canada.

The bank reported net income of $6.6 million ($0.20 per share), which included $4.2 million in planned expenses related to corporate structure realignment. Adjusted net income, excluding these costs, was $9.7 million ($0.30 per share). The Digital Banking operations maintained strong performance with a net interest margin of 2.25% and minimal credit loss provisions of 0.10%.

Notable developments include the expansion of RPP to add securitization capabilities, addition of two new RPP partners in Canada, and the launch of a tokenized deposit pilot program in the United States.

Insights

VersaBank shows strong asset growth and record revenue despite higher expenses from corporate restructuring, with promising US expansion.

VersaBank's Q3 2025 results showcase the strength of its digital banking model, with total assets increasing 21% year-over-year to a record $5.5 billion and total revenue rising 17% year-over-year to a record $31.6 million. The growth was primarily driven by expansion of the bank's Receivable Purchase Program (RPP) in both the US and Canada.

Looking beyond the headline numbers, adjusted net income of $9.7 million (excluding $4.2 million in planned restructuring costs) was flat year-over-year but up 11% sequentially, indicating strong operational momentum. The bank's net interest margin on credit assets of 2.55% increased 6% year-over-year but decreased slightly sequentially, remaining among the highest of Canadian Schedule I banks.

The bank's credit quality remains exceptionally strong with provisions for credit losses at just 0.10% of average credit assets, compared to a 12-quarter average of 0.03%. This demonstrates VersaBank's disciplined risk management approach even during its rapid growth phase.

Strategically, VersaBank is executing on multiple fronts: 1) expanding its RPP program to include securitization options in both US and Canada, adding two new RPP partners in Canada; 2) progressing on corporate structure realignment to a standard US bank framework; and 3) launching a pilot for tokenized deposits in the US through its Digital Deposit Receipts (DDRs), positioning the bank for future growth in digital commerce.

The planned corporate restructuring, while creating near-term expense pressure, appears strategically sound as it aims to realize additional shareholder value, mitigate risk, and reduce costs long-term. Management expects the benefits to exceed the investment costs.

VersaBank's continued share repurchases under its NCIB (351,142 shares purchased and cancelled thus far) signal management's confidence in the business model and commitment to creating shareholder value.

LONDON, ON, Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - VersaBank (or the "Bank") (TSX: VBNK) (NASDAQ: VBNK), a North American leader in business-to-business digital banking, as well as technology solutions for cybersecurity, today reported its results for the third quarter ended July 31, 2025. All figures are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

Note Regarding VersaBank's Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Fiscal 2025 Financial Results: VersaBank's financial results for the third quarter and year-to-date fiscal 2025 reflect the planned, outsized non-interest expense in the amount of $4.2 million for the third quarter and $4.4 million for the year-to-date related to the project costs associated with the Bank's plan to realign its corporate structure to that of a standard US bank framework, which remains subject to shareholder, regulatory, and other approvals (the "Proposed Realignment of Corporate Structure").  The Bank expects to incur similar costs associated with the Proposed Realignment of Corporate Structure in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, at which time a majority of costs associated with the Proposed Realignment of Corporate Structure are expected to have been incurred. The Proposed Realignment of Corporate Structure is intended to realize additional shareholder value, further mitigate risk and reduce corporate costs. The anticipated benefits to incremental shareholder value are expected to exceed the investment.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"Our third quarter financial results reflect the ramp up of our Receivable Purchase Program in the United States, alongside better than expected growth in credit assets in Canada, as well as net interest margins consistent with the improved levels we saw in the second quarter, all of which combined to drive revenue to another new record with a very healthy sequential increase in adjusted net income," said Davd Taylor, Founder and President, VersaBank.  "Importantly, the financial results for our Canadian Digital Banking operations, excluding the corporate expenses currently included therein, continue to demonstrate the industry leading efficiency and profitability potential of our US Digital Banking operations at scale.  We are steadily advancing our plan to realign our corporate structure to that of a standard US bank framework, which we believe will not only create additional shareholder value in and of itself but also more clearly demonstrate the true underlying efficiency of our digital banking operations."

"To accelerate growth of our Receivable Purchase Program in the United States, we recently expanded our offering by adding a securitized financing option to more quickly establish and build relationships with our RPP target market, providing a "one-stop shop" to these partners for attractive, readily available financing. Our expanded offering will support our US RPP portfolio target of US$290 million by fiscal year end, while providing additional growth in Canada."

"Additionally in Canada, we are benefitting from several favourable trends that have improved our outlook for this component of our business.  Consumer spending in the sectors on which we focus remains resilient as we focus both growing our business with existing clients while also adding new clients, as evidenced by our announcement of two new partners this week, including our first RPP Securitization partner in that country."

"Looking further ahead, we believe our proprietary Digital Deposit Receipt ("DDR") tokenized deposits represent a significant future opportunity as a superior alternative to stablecoins based on their one-for-one representation of actual cash on deposit with our Bank, the legal ability to pay interest, and conventional deposit insurance.  Our DDRs are not only a significant opportunity to generate very low-cost deposits to fund our US growth but also the ideal, market-ready solution for US banks, payment providers and other financial businesses to quickly, seamlessly and cost-effectively enter this critical next stage of the digital commerce evolution."

HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2025

Consolidated (Canadian and US Digital Banking Operations, Digital Meteor and DRTC)

  • Total assets increased 21% year-over-year and 9% sequentially to a record $5.5 billion, with the increase driven primarily by growth of the Digital Banking operations' credit portfolios, in particular, the Receivable Purchase Program ("RPP") portfolio, in both the US and Canada;
  • Consolidated total revenue increased 17% year-over-year and increased 5% sequentially to a record $31.6 million, with the year-over-year and sequential increase primarily due to the continued growth in credit assets, which were up 18% year-over-year and 6% sequentially;
  • Consolidated net income was $6.6 million compared with $9.7 million for the third quarter of last year and $8.5 million for the second quarter of 2025.  Consolidated net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 included the planned $4.2 million (before tax) of non-interest expenses related to the costs associated with the Proposed Realignment of Corporate Structure;
  • Consolidated adjusted net income, which excludes the costs associated with the Proposed Realignment of Corporate Structure, was $9.7 million, unchanged on a year-over-year basis and up 11% sequentially;
  • Consolidated income per common share was $0.20 compared with $0.36 for the third quarter of last year and $0.26 for the second quarter of 2025.  In addition to the impact of the Proposed Realignment of Corporate Structure, the decrease compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was due to the 25% higher number of shares outstanding due to the treasury common share offering in December 2024;
  • Consolidated adjusted income per common share, which excludes the costs associated with the Proposed Realignment of Corporate Structure, was $0.30;
  • As at July 31, 2025, the Bank has purchased and cancelled 351,142 common shares under its Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB), under which the Bank may purchase for cancellation up to 2,000,000 of its common shares representing approximately 8.99% of its public float (as of April 28, 2025);
  • During the current quarter, the Bank announced its intention, subject to shareholder, regulatory and other approvals, to realign its corporate structure with the standard framework of a US bank, pursuant to which existing shares of the Bank (the current parent) would be exchanged for shares of VersaHoldings US Corp. (the new parent), the existing US-domiciled entity, which currently holds the Bank's US subsidiaries. The Proposed Realignment of Corporate Structure is intended to realize additional shareholder value, further mitigate risk and reduce corporate costs;
  • Subsequent to quarter end, the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, VersaBank USA, launched an internal pilot program in the United States for its USDVBs, the US-dollar version of its proprietary Digital Deposit Receipts ("DDRs").  Upon completion of the pilot program, VersaBank USA will seek the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's (OCC's) "non-objection" prior to launching commercially.

Digital Banking (Combined Canada and US)

  • Total Digital Banking operations (combined Canada and US) credit assets increased 18% year-over-year and 6% sequentially to a record $4.78 billion, driven primarily by continued growth in the Bank's RPP portfolio, which increased 15% year-over-year and 5% sequentially;
  • Total Digital Banking operations total revenue increased 18% year-over-year and increased 6% sequentially to a record $29.7 million, with the year-over-year and sequential increases primarily due to the continued growth in credit assets;
  • Total Digital Banking operations net interest margin on credit assets increased 14 bps, or 6%, year-over-year, and decreased 4 bps, or 2% sequentially, to 2.55%. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the lower cost of funds, attributable to the renewal of maturing deposits at lower interest rates and the diminished impact of the atypically inverted yield curve that existed throughout fiscal 2024 and which is no longer inverted. The sequential decrease reflects the impact for elevated liquidity held to support a capital infusion in VersaBank USA and lower yield attributable to the increase in the RPP, which is composed of lower risk-weighted, lower yielding assets, partially offset by lower cost of funds;
  • Total Digital Banking operations overall net interest margin increased 2 bps, or 1%, year-over-year and decreased 4 bps, or 2%, sequentially to 2.25%, due to higher than typical liquidity.  The Bank's net interest margin remained among the highest of the publicly traded Canadian Schedule I (federally licensed) banks;
  • Total Digital Banking operations provision for credit losses as a percentage of average credit assets remained negligible at 0.10%, compared with a 12-quarter average of 0.03%, which remains among the lowest of the publicly traded Canadian Schedule I (federally licensed) banks;
  • Total Digital Banking operations net income was $7.0 million compared with $9.8 million for the third quarter of last year and $9.3 million for the second quarter of 2025. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 included $4.2 million (before tax) of non-interest expenses related to the costs associated with the Bank's Proposed Realignment of Corporate Structure;
  • Total Digital Banking operations income per common share was $0.21 compared with $0.36 for the third quarter of last year and $0.28 for the second quarter of 2025.  In addition to the impact of the Proposed Realignment of Corporate Structure, the decrease compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was due to the 25% higher number of shares outstanding due to the treasury common share offering in December 2024;
  • Subsequent to quarter end, the Bank expanded the Receivable Purchase Program with launch of securitized financing solution, which is expected to generate additional asset and earnings growth in both the US and Canada.

Digital Banking Canada

Note:  The financial results for Digital Banking Canada contain certain non-interest expenses for general corporate administrative costs.

  • Canadian Digital Banking operations net income was $6.5 million compared with $9.8 million for the third quarter of last year and $9.2 million for the second quarter of 2025. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 included $4.2 million (before tax) of non-interest expenses related to the costs associated with the Bank's Proposed Realignment of Corporate Structure;
  • Canadian Digital Banking operations net income per common share was $0.20 compared with $0.36 for the third quarter of last year and $0.28 for the second quarter of 2025. In addition to the impact of the Proposed Realignment of Corporate Structure, the decrease compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was due to the 25% higher number of shares outstanding due to the treasury common share offering in December 2024; and,
  • Subsequent to quarter end, added two new receivable purchase program partners in Canada for the RPP, including the Bank's first partner under the recent expansion of its RPP to include a securitized financing offering. The Bank has completed the first funding transaction for its RPP Securitization partner and expects funding for the other new partner to commence in the near term.

Digital Banking US

  • US Digital Banking operations net income was $437,000 compared with $133,000 for the second quarter of 2025.  There are no third quarter 2024 comparable figures for the US Digital Banking operations as that segment did not exist until the fourth quarter of 2024. The sequential increase was primarily attributable to the strong growth in the RPP portfolio. US Digital Banking operations include expenses that are being incurred ahead of asset growth and revenue generated by the ramp up of the US RPP portfolio.

Digital Meteor Inc. 

  • Digital Meteor's net income was $23,000 compared with net income of $303,000 for the third quarter of last year and a net loss of $152,000 for the second quarter of 2025.

DRTC's Cybersecurity Services Operations 

  • DRTC's net loss was $398,000 compared with a net loss of $409,000 for the third quarter of last year and a net loss of $652,000 for the second quarter of 2025.

About VersaBank

VersaBank is a North American bank with a difference.  Federally chartered in both Canada and the US, VersaBank has a branchless, digital, business-to-business model based on its proprietary state-of-the-art technology that enables it to profitably address underserved segments of the banking industry in a significantly risk mitigated manner. Because VersaBank obtains substantially all of its deposits and undertakes the majority of its funding electronically through financial intermediary partners, it benefits from significant operating leverage that drives efficiency and return on common equity.  In August 2024, VersaBank launched its unique Receivable Purchase Program funding solution for point-of-sale finance companies, which has been highly successful in Canada for nearly 15 years, to the underserved multi-trillion-dollar US market.  VersaBank also owns Washington, DC-based DRT Cyber Inc., a North America leader in the provision of cyber security services to address the rapidly growing volume of cyber threats challenging financial institutions, multi-national corporations and government entities.  Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Digital Meteor, Inc. ("Digital Meteor"), VersaBank owns proprietary intellectual property and technology to enable the next generation of digital assets for the banking and financial community, including the Bank's revolutionary Digital Deposit Receipts (DDRs).
