Westamerica Bancorporation (WABC) Q2-25 10-Q highlights
- Earnings: Net income fell 18% YoY to $29.1 m; diluted EPS $1.12 vs $1.33. Six-month net income down 16% to $60.1 m; EPS $2.29.
- Revenue drivers: Interest & loan-fee income contracted 17% to $57.5 m, mainly from lower yields on the securities portfolio. Interest expense dropped 40% to $3.2 m, but could not offset the revenue decline; net interest income down 15% to $54.3 m.
- Credit quality: No provision booked in Q2; YTD allowance released $0.55 m. ACL stands at $13.8 m (1.84% of loans) vs $14.8 m year-end. Non-performing asset data not supplied, but charge-offs remain low.
- Balance sheet trends (6-30-25 vs 12-31-24):
- Total assets $5.83 bn (-4%).
- Loans $748 m (-9%); deposits $4.75 bn (-5%).
- Securities AFS+HTM $4.04 bn; unrealized AFS loss narrowed to $166.5 m from $239.5 m, improving AOCI by $51 m.
- Tangible equity rose to $921.8 m; CET1 not disclosed but capital strengthened by OCI recovery and buy-backs.
- Costs: Noninterest expense trimmed 2% YoY to $25.5 m; efficiency ratio ~41% (Rhea estimate).
- Capital actions: 1.1 m shares repurchased YTD (-4% share count) for $56.6 m; quarterly dividend raised to $0.46 (payout 41%).
- Liquidity: Cash & due from banks $626 m; repurchase agreements balance $101 m. No Bank Term Funding Program borrowings outstanding.
Takeaway: Core profitability weakened on declining asset yields and balance-sheet contraction, partly offset by expense control and lower funding costs. Improved OCI cushions capital, but continued loan & deposit runoff and still-material unrealized bond losses remain key watch points.
