Ameris Bancorp reported a stronger quarter ended June 30, 2025, driven by higher core lending margins and much lower credit provisions. Net income rose to $109.8 million from $90.8 million a year earlier, and diluted EPS increased to $1.60 from $1.32, reflecting a roughly 21% year-over-year earnings gain. Net interest income improved to $231.8 million as interest expense declined, while provision for credit losses fell sharply to $2.8 million from $18.8 million, supporting higher net interest income after provisions.
The balance sheet shows modest growth: loans, net were $21.04 billion and deposits totaled $21.93 billion. Debt securities available-for-sale were $1.87 billion with $20.8 million of unrealized losses attributed to non-credit factors and an allowance for credit losses of $0.07 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $1.17 billion. Noninterest income declined, led by lower mortgage banking activity, and total noninterest expense remained roughly flat at $155.3 million for the quarter.
