Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Waterstone Financial, Inc. reported stronger results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026. Quarterly net income was $8.5 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, compared with $7.7 million, or $0.43, a year earlier. For the first half of 2026, net income was $14.5 million and diluted EPS $0.84, up from $10.8 million and $0.59 in 2025.

Profitability metrics improved, with an annualized return on average assets of 1.52% and return on average equity of 9.65%. Consolidated quarterly net interest margin rose to 3.03%, the highest since late 2022, driven by higher loan yields and lower funding costs. The Community Banking segment posted record net interest income of $15.8 million and pre-tax income of $9.0 million, while maintaining low credit risk as nonperforming assets were 0.30% of total assets.

The Mortgage Banking segment generated $1.6 million of pre-tax income, down 20.2% year over year, as loan originations increased to $621.8 million but gross margin on loans sold declined to 3.60%. Capital returns remained meaningful: the company declared a $0.17 dividend per share and repurchased about 200,000 shares for $3.7 million, helping increase book value per share to $19.53 at June 30, 2026.

net interest margin financial
"quarterly net interest margin hit 3.03%, its highest level since"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
nonperforming assets financial
"Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets was 0.30%"
Nonperforming assets are loans or investments that are not generating expected payments or returns because the borrower has fallen behind on payments or the investment has lost value. They matter to investors because a high level of nonperforming assets can indicate financial trouble for a bank or institution, potentially affecting its stability and profitability.
efficiency ratio financial
"The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP ratio, was 48.16% for the quarter"
A measure of how much a company spends to produce each dollar of revenue, usually shown as operating expenses divided by revenue and expressed as a percentage. Think of it as a household’s budget: a lower percentage means more of each dollar earned stays as profit, while a higher number means costs are eating into returns. Investors use it to judge cost control and compare how efficiently companies turn revenue into earnings, especially in banks and financial firms.
allowance for credit losses financial
"Allowance for credit losses ("ACL") - loans to loans receivable"
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
gross margin on loans sold financial
"Gross margin on loans sold totaled 3.60% for the quarter ended"
Gross margin on loans sold measures the percentage difference between the money a lender receives when it sells loans and the lender’s cost to originate or carry those loans. Think of it like a store’s markup: it shows how much the seller keeps after accounting for the loan’s cost. Investors watch it because a higher margin signals healthier profitability, better pricing power and lower likelihood of surprise losses when loans are packaged and sold.
Net income Q2 2026 $8.5 million up from $7.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2025
Diluted EPS Q2 2026 $0.49 up from $0.43 in the quarter ended June 30, 2025
Net interest margin Q2 2026 3.03% increased from 2.60% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025
Mortgage Banking pre-tax income Q2 2026 $1.6 million decreased by $403,000, or 20.2%, compared to Q2 2025

Waterstone Financial, Inc. Announces Results of Operations for the Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2026.

 

WAUWATOSA, WI – 7/23/26– Waterstone Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSBF), holding company for WaterStone Bank, reported net income of $8.5 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to $7.7 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.  Net income totaled $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to net income of $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Net income per diluted share was $0.84 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to net income per diluted share of $0.59 for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

 

"We achieved another quarter of strong financial results, as quarterly net interest margin hit 3.03%, its highest level since the quarter ended December 31, 2022,” said William Bruss, Chief Executive Officer of Waterstone Financial, Inc. "The Community Banking segment realized a record quarterly net interest income of $15.8 million, which represented a $2.2 million, or 16.1%, increase compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2025.  The increases were primarily due to continued growth in yields on our loans held for investment and a reduction of our cost of funds, driven in part by continued growth in average transaction deposits. The Mortgage Banking segment generated pre-tax income of $1.6 million which represents a decrease of $403,000, or 20.2%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2025.  The Mortgage Banking segment achieved solid growth in loan origination volumes compared to the prior year, but this growth was offset by softer sales margins.  We increased our book value per share $0.51 during the quarter with continued strong earnings and the share repurchase program, prior to declaring our quarterly dividend of $0.17 per share. In total, $6.5 million was returned to shareholders through buybacks and dividends during the quarter."

Net interest margin increased 43 basis points to 3.03% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to 2.60% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, which was primarily driven by an increase in weighted average yield on loans receivable and held for sale and decreases in the cost of borrowings and weighted average cost of deposits.

The provision for credit losses related to unfunded loan commitments for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was due primarily to an increase of business and commercial real estate loans in the loan pipeline balance at quarter end.
