BayCom posts $7M Q2 loss on one-off charges
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
BayCom Corp, holding company for United Business Bank, reported a net loss of $7.0 million, or $(0.64) per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared with net income of $8.2 million ($0.75 per share) in the prior quarter and $6.4 million ($0.58 per share) a year ago. The swing to loss primarily reflected $10.5 million of severance, accelerated equity vesting and employee benefits tied to the departure of three senior executives, and a $5.2 million provision for credit losses, including $2.8 million in net charge-offs, along with lower net interest income.
Net interest income was $23.7 million, down from $25.2 million in the first quarter, with annualized net interest margin at 3.95% versus 4.11%, as one-time loan discount accretion and a prior FHLB special dividend did not recur and higher loan premium amortization reduced yields. The average cost of deposits declined to 1.56%, and noninterest income was stable at $1.5 million.
Loans grew to $2.1 billion, while nonperforming loans fell to $9.8 million, or 0.47% of total loans, aided by payoff and sale of nonaccrual credits; the allowance for credit losses increased to $23.0 million, or 1.11% of loans. Deposits were $2.17 billion, down 4.2% from March 31, 2026, with noninterest-bearing balances at 26.6% of deposits. Shareholders’ equity totaled $335.4 million, equity-to-assets was 13.00%, and tangible book value per share was $27.04, while bank-level regulatory capital ratios remained well above minimums.
