Pathward Financial, Inc. reported a net income of $74.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, an increase from $65.3 million in the same period last year. Total revenue grew by 6% to $262.9 million, primarily due to increased net interest income and noninterest income, with significant contributions from tax services product income.
Net income increased to $74.3 million, or $3.11 per share, for Q2 fiscal 2025, up from $65.3 million, or $2.56 per share, in Q2 fiscal 2024.
Total revenue for the second quarter was $262.9 million, a 6% increase year-over-year, driven by growth in both net interest income and noninterest income.
Net interest margin (NIM) improved by 27 basis points to 6.50% for the second quarter, reflecting increased yields and balances in the loan and lease portfolio and optimized earning asset mix.
Total tax services product income, net of losses and direct product expenses, increased 29% for the first six months of fiscal 2025 compared to the prior fiscal year, largely due to a 13% increase in independent tax office enrollments.
The Company is optimistic about the future, with businesses performing well and significant progress made on balance sheet strategy, allowing for revenue growth without needing to expand the balance sheet. The strong tax season also contributed to noninterest income growth.
