USCB Financial (NASDAQ: USCB) boosts Q2 profit as loans and assets grow
USCB Financial Holdings reported stronger Q2 2026 results, with net income of $9.1 million (dollars in thousands) and diluted EPS of $0.49, up from $8.1 million and $0.40 a year earlier. Net interest income rose to $24.4 million, and net interest margin expanded to 3.49% from 3.28%, helped by loan growth and lower deposit costs.
Total assets surpassed $3.0 billion, up 11.0% from June 30, 2025. Loans held for investment reached $2.32 billion, while deposits were $2.45 billion, both higher year over year. Asset quality remained solid: the allowance for credit losses was $26.7 million (1.15% of total loans) and non‑performing loans were 0.09% of total loans, with lower charge‑offs than in 2025.
Capital levels stayed comfortably above “well‑capitalized” thresholds, with total risk‑based capital ratios of 13.88% for the company and 13.68% for the bank. Tangible book value per share was $12.64, while share repurchases and $0.25 per share in year‑to‑date dividends, plus another $0.125 dividend declared for Q3 2026, returned capital to shareholders.

During the first six months, the company issued 147,490 restricted shares and 227,570 shares through option exercises, repurchased 53,475 shares, and had 18,459,470 shares outstanding at June 30 versus 18,137,885 at December 31. Additional shares increase the total share count and can reduce an existing holder’s percentage ownership absent offsetting changes; the repurchases partly offset the disclosed issuances.
Although no formal supervisory restriction was reported, the company says the bank’s negative retained earnings require prior FDIC approval before the bank can make a cash dividend or other capital distribution to the company.
