Q3 2025 earnings summary31 Oct, 2025

Executive summary

  • Reported a net loss of $18.9 million for Q3 2025, driven by higher provision expense and $12.4 million in one-time charges, including a $7.3 million restructuring charge related to the exit from SBA 7(a) lending.

  • Exited the SBA 7(a) lending business, signing a definitive agreement to sell a large portion of the SBA 7(a) portfolio to Banesco USA at a 3% discount, with most SBA staff offered positions at Banesco.

  • Ranked #2 in deposits among banks with assets under $10B in the Tampa Bay-Sarasota region as of June 30, 2025, with $1.35 billion in total assets and $1.17 billion in deposits as of September 30, 2025.

  • Management is focused on derisking the balance sheet, improving credit quality, and returning to profitability with a target ROA of 40-70 bps in 2026.

  • Regulatory capital ratios declined, and the bank did not meet all well-capitalized requirements as of September 30, 2025.

Financial highlights

  • Net loss available to common shareholders was $19.3 million for Q3 2025, compared to net income of $0.8 million in Q3 2024.

  • Net interest income was $11.3 million in Q3 2025, up from $9.4 million in Q3 2024, but down from $12.3 million in Q2 2025.

  • Noninterest income was negative $1.0 million in Q3 2025, down from $10.8 million in Q2 and $12.3 million in Q3 2024, mainly due to lower gains on loan sales and a $5.1 million fair value adjustment.

  • Noninterest expense rose to $25.2 million in Q3 2025, up $7.7 million from Q2, primarily due to a $7.3 million restructuring charge.

  • Book value per common share was $17.90 at September 30, 2025, down from $22.30 in Q2 and $20.86 a year earlier.

Outlook and guidance

  • Management expects to complete the SBA 7(a) loan sale in Q4 2025, pending regulatory approval; failure to close could adversely impact earnings and liquidity.

  • Focus on reducing non-performing loans, improving credit quality, and returning to profitability with a target ROA of 40-70 bps in 2026.

  • The company is taking steps to improve capital ratios and has requested waivers to continue accessing brokered deposits.

  • Dividend payments on common and preferred stock have been temporarily suspended.

  • Continued wind-down and potential sale of remaining $167 million unguaranteed SBA 7(a) loan balances.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
