National Bank Holdings posts $8.8M Q3 2026 loss
A $40.6 million credit-loss provision was the primary driver of the quarterly loss; the Palm Beach banking-center sale is expected to close in mid-2027.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
National Bank Holdings Corp. (NBHC) reported a third-quarter 2026 net loss of $8.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, versus Q2 2026 net income of $26.5 million and diluted EPS of $0.58. The quarter included $40.6 million of credit-loss provision expense, $15.2 million of pre-tax acquisition and restructuring expense, and a $4.0 million impairment on a third-party FinTech partnership investment. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $2.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted share.
Fully taxable equivalent net interest income was $115.2 million, and net interest margin was 4.00%, up six basis points from Q2. Loans were $9.9 billion at September 30, 2026, with $819.3 million in quarterly fundings; average total deposits were $10.3 billion. Non-performing loans were 0.44% of total loans, versus 0.31% in Q2, and the allowance for credit losses was 1.11% of loans.
NBH Bank entered a definitive agreement to sell its Palm Beach, Florida banking center, including its loans and deposits. Expected reductions are approximately $0.2 billion in total assets, including approximately $0.2 billion in loans, and approximately $0.2 billion in deposits. The agreement provides a 5.00% deposit premium, subject to a minimum of $8.8 million; the Bank expects to close in mid-2027.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

In announcing these results, Chief Executive Officer Tim Laney shared, “This was a deeply disappointing quarter. We reported a net loss of $8.8 million, driven primarily by $40.6 million of provision expense tied to a handful of specifically identified commercial credits, mainly in the franchise and healthcare industries. We take these credit events seriously and have made a series of both personnel and process improvements in these specific coverage areas of our business. To that end, none of these actions were driven by our regulators, and we will be relentless in our focus to meet the highest standards of credit risk management.”
Mr. Laney added, “Our margin expansion and deposit growth are positive, and all integration activity has been a success. Our responsibility is to protect the bank while driving to our target of a dollar plus of earnings per share in the fourth quarter. While the third quarter represented a painful setback, I believe our team is more than capable of delivering for our clients, communities and shareholders.”
Third Quarter 2026 Results
(All comparisons refer to the second quarter of 2026, except as noted)
As previously announced, third quarter results were impacted by elevated provision expense related to specifically identified credits addressed during the quarter. During the third quarter of 2026, net loss totaled $8.8 million, or ($0.20) per diluted share, compared to net income of $26.5 million, or $0.58 per diluted share. The quarter’s results were impacted by $40.6 million of provision expense, $15.2 million of pre-tax acquisition and restructuring expense, and a $4.0 million impairment on a third-party FinTech partnership investment classified within other securities. Fully taxable equivalent pre-provision net revenue totaled $30.9 million, compared to $36.3 million. The return on average tangible assets totaled (0.23)%, compared to 0.96%, and the return on average tangible common equity totaled (2.32)%, compared to 9.70%. Adjusting for the $15.2 million of pre-tax acquisition and restructuring related expenses in the third quarter, adjusted net income totaled $2.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, and adjusted fully taxable equivalent pre-provision
1
net revenue totaled $46.1 million. The adjusted return on average tangible assets totaled 0.16%, and the adjusted return on average tangible common equity totaled 1.62%.
Net Interest Income
Fully taxable equivalent net interest income increased $3.6 million to $115.2 million, primarily due to average interest earning assets growth of $69.9 million and one additional day during the third quarter. The fully taxable equivalent net interest margin expanded six basis points to 4.00%, driven by a nine basis point increase in earning asset yields. The cost of deposits increased one basis point to 1.94%.
Loans
Loans increased $119.4 million, or 4.9% annualized, to $9.9 billion at September 30, 2026. We generated quarterly loan fundings of $819.3 million, led by commercial loan fundings of $351.2 million.
Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses
The Company recorded provision expense of $40.6 million during the quarter, compared to $1.5 million. The increase was primarily driven by write downs on specifically identified commercial loans, principally within the franchise and healthcare industries, related to credit events impacting the third quarter. Annualized net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 totaled 0.85% of average total loans. Non-performing loans totaled 0.44% of total loans at September 30, 2026, compared to 0.31%, and non-performing assets totaled 0.50% of total loans and OREO at September 30, 2026, compared to 0.35%. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans was 1.11% at September 30, 2026, compared to 1.13%.
Deposits
The Company maintains a low cost, diversified deposit franchise. Average total deposits increased $96.0 million to $10.3 billion, and average transaction deposits (defined as total deposits less time deposits) increased $102.9 million to $9.0 billion. The loan to deposit ratio totaled 93.8% at September 30, 2026, compared to 94.1%. The mix of transaction deposits to total deposits increased 20 basis points to 88.0% at September 30, 2026.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $13.5 million, compared to $19.8 million, during the second quarter. Other non-interest income decreased $5.9 million and included $4.0 million of impairment on a third-party FinTech partnership investment classified within other securities. Mortgage banking income decreased $0.6 million driven by the current rate environment. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in bank card fee income.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense totaled $97.8 million, compared to $95.0 million. Included in the third and second quarters were acquisition and restructuring related expenses of $15.2 million and $11.2 million, respectively. Excluding these items, third quarter adjusted non-interest expense decreased $1.1 million, to $82.6 million, compared to $83.7 million. The linked-quarter decrease reflects management’s continued execution on operational synergies following the successful third-quarter integration of Vista’s core systems. Third quarter’s expenses include one additional payroll day compared to the second quarter and $1.4 million of OREO and problem loan expenses. The fully taxable equivalent efficiency ratio totaled 76.0%, compared to 72.3%. The adjusted fully taxable equivalent efficiency ratio totaled 62.3%, compared to 61.8%.
Income tax benefit totaled $3.2 million, compared to income tax expense of $6.1 million in the previous quarter. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was 17.3%, compared to 18.3% for the same period prior year.
Capital
Common book value per share totaled $36.71 at September 30, 2026, compared to $37.48 at June 30, 2026. Tangible book value per share totaled $25.37, compared to $26.23, primarily reflecting the quarterly dividend payment, share repurchases and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to changes in the interest rate environment.
2
NBHC executed $11.9 million of share buybacks in the third quarter as part of its ongoing capital strategy. Capital ratios continue to be well in excess of federal bank regulatory agency “well capitalized” thresholds. The tier 1 leverage ratio totaled 10.00%, and the common equity tier 1 capital ratio totaled 11.69% at September 30, 2026. Shareholders’ equity totaled $1.6 billion at September 30, 2026, compared to $1.7 billion.
Recent Events
On October 24, 2026, NBH Bank (the “Bank”) entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Palm Beach, Florida banking center location, including the banking center’s loans and deposits. The sale is expected to result in a reduction of the Bank’s total assets of approximately $0.2 billion, including total loans of approximately $0.2 billion, and a reduction of total deposits of approximately $0.2 billion. The agreement provides for a deposit premium of 5.00%, subject to a minimum deposit premium of $8.8 million. The Bank expects to close the transaction in mid-2027.
Year-Over-Year Review
(All comparisons refer to the first nine months of 2025, except as noted)
Net income totaled $38.5 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, compared to $93.5 million or $2.43 per diluted share. Current year results were impacted by $46.1 million of provision expense, primarily due to third quarter credit events within the franchise and healthcare industries, $42.0 million of pre-tax acquisition and restructuring expense, and a $4.0 million impairment on a third-party FinTech partnership investment classified within other securities. Fully taxable equivalent pre-provision net revenue totaled $99.4 million, compared to $129.0 million. The return on average tangible assets totaled 0.50%, compared to 1.38%, and the return on average tangible common equity totaled 5.01%, compared to 13.05%. Adjusting for $42.0 million and $1.7 million of pre-tax acquisition and restructuring related charges for the nine months 2026 and 2025, respectively, adjusted net income totaled $70.9 million, or $1.56 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $94.9 million, or $2.47 per diluted share. Adjusted, the fully taxable equivalent pre-provision net revenue increased $10.6 million, or 8.1%, to $141.4 million. The adjusted return on average tangible assets totaled 0.87%, and the adjusted return on average tangible common equity totaled 8.67%.
Fully taxable equivalent net interest income increased $69.6 million, or 26.0%, to $337.7 million. Average earning assets increased $2.2 billion, or 24.4%, driven by $500.9 million of average originated loan growth and loans acquired through the Vista acquisition. The Vista acquisition added $1.9 billion in total loans on January 7, 2026. The fully taxable equivalent net interest margin expanded five basis points to 4.00%, primarily driven by an eight basis point improvement in the cost of funds.
Loans outstanding increased $2.5 billion, or 33.2%, to $9.9 billion. New loan fundings over the trailing twelve months totaled a record $3.1 billion, led by commercial fundings of $1.7 billion.
The Company recorded $46.1 million of provision expense for credit losses, compared to $8.7 million. The increase was primarily driven by write downs on specifically identified commercial loans, primarily within the franchise and healthcare industries, related to credit events impacting the third quarter. Annualized net charge-offs totaled 0.85%, compared to 0.27%. Non-performing loans totaled 0.44% of total loans at September 30, 2026, compared to 0.36%, and non-performing assets totaled 0.50% of total loans and OREO at September 30, 2026, compared to 0.37%. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans totaled 1.11% at September 30, 2026, compared to 1.19% at September 30, 2025.
Average deposits increased $2.0 billion to $10.2 billion, and average transaction deposits increased $1.8 billion to $8.9 billion compared to the same period prior year. The mix of transaction deposits to total deposits increased 167 basis points to 88.0% at September 30, 2026. The Vista acquisition added $2.2 billion of total deposits, including $2.0 billion of transaction deposits and $0.2 billion of time deposits on January 7, 2026.
Non-interest income totaled $51.3 million, compared to $53.1 million, decreasing due to $4.0 million of impairment on a third-party FinTech partnership investment within other securities and a $1.8 million decrease in mortgage banking income driven by the current
3
rate environment. These decreases were mostly offset by increases in our diversified sources of fee income including service charges, bank card fees, trust income and swap fee income.
Non-interest expense totaled $289.6 million, compared to $192.2 million. Included in the periods were $42.0 million and $1.7 million of acquisition and restructuring expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Excluding these items, the current period adjusted non-interest expense totaled $247.8 million, an increase from the same period prior year primarily due to our recent acquisition. Occupancy and equipment expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, included a full period of 2UniFiSM capitalized asset depreciation in connection with the launch of 2UniFi in the third quarter of 2025. The fully taxable equivalent efficiency ratio totaled 74.5%, compared to 59.8% in the same period prior year. The adjusted fully taxable equivalent efficiency ratio totaled 61.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to 57.5%.
Income tax expense decreased $13.0 million to $8.0 million driven by lower pre-tax income in the current period. The effective tax rate was 17.3%, compared to 18.3% in the prior year.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain financial measures and ratios we present are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We refer to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures.” We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures
4
we present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our peers or other companies. We compensate for these differences by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables.
Forward-Looking Statements

We have based these statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, business strategy and growth prospects. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, business and economic conditions along with external events, both generally and in the financial services industry; susceptibility to credit risk and fluctuations in the value of real estate and other collateral securing a significant portion of our loan portfolio, including with regards to real estate acquired through foreclosure, and the accuracy of appraisals related to such real estate; changes impacting monetary supply and the businesses of our clients and counterparties, including levels of market interest rates, inflation, currency values, monetary, fiscal, and international trade policy, and the volatility of trading markets; our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet the requirements of deposit withdrawals and other business needs; our desire to raise additional capital in connection with strategic growth initiatives and our ability to access the capital markets when desired or on favorable terms; changes in the fair value of our investment securities can fluctuate due to market conditions outside of our control; our investments in financial technology companies and initiatives may subject us to material financial, reputational and strategic risks; the allowance for credit losses and fair value adjustments may be insufficient to absorb losses in our loan portfolio (including due to fluctuations in collateral value, the ability of the borrower to repay and the results of outstanding litigation related to the realization of collateral); any service interruptions, cyber incidents or other breaches relating to our technology systems, security systems or infrastructure or those of our third-party providers; the occurrence of fraud or other financial crimes within our business; competition from other financial services providers, including traditional financial institutions and financial technology companies, and the effects of disintermediation within the banking business including consolidation within the industry; changes to federal government lending programs like the Small Business Administration’s Preferred Lender Program and the Federal Housing Administration’s insurance programs, including the impact of changes in regulations, budget appropriations and a prolonged government shutdown on such programs; impairment of our mortgage servicing rights, disruption in the secondary market for mortgage loans, declines in real estate values, or being required to repurchase mortgage loans or reimburse investors; claims and litigation related to our fiduciary responsibilities in connection with our trust and wealth business; our ability to manage and execute our organic growth and acquisition strategies, including our ability to realize the expected benefits of our acquisition strategies; developments in technology, such as artificial intelligence, the success of our digital growth strategy, and our ability to incorporate innovative technologies in our business and provide products and services that satisfy our clients’ expectations for convenience and security; our ability to integrate Vista Bank into our business may be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected and we may fail to realize the anticipated benefits or cost savings of the merger; failure to obtain regulatory approvals or consummate attractive acquisitions or continue to increase organic loan growth would restrict our growth plans; the accuracy of projected operating results for assets and businesses we acquire as well as our ability to drive organic loan growth to replace loans in our existing portfolio with comparable loans as loans are paid down; our ability to comply with and manage costs related to extensive and potentially expanding government regulation and supervision, including current and future regulations affecting bank holding companies and depository institutions; our ability to execute our capital allocation strategy, including paying dividends or
5
repurchasing shares, is subject to regulatory limitations; the application of any increased assessment rates imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; claims or legal action brought against us by third parties or government agencies; the loss of our executive officers and key personnel; changes to federal, state and local laws and regulations along with executive orders applicable to our business, including tax laws; and other factors, risks, trends and uncertainties described elsewhere in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
