Midland States Bancorp, Inc. reported a net income of $5.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025. This represents a significant decline from $9.8 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025, and $18.2 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was largely attributed to a $15 million provision for credit losses in the equipment finance portfolio, reflecting increased loss given default assumptions. Despite the financial setback, the company made progress on strategic initiatives, including reducing nonperforming assets and improving its capital position, while also seeing positive revenue trends from an expanded net interest margin and strong wealth management performance.
