RBB Bancorp reported net income of $2.3 million, or $0.13 diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2025. This decline was primarily due to a $6.7 million pre-tax provision for credit losses, largely related to reducing exposure to nonperforming loans. Despite this, the company saw a 12% annualized net loan growth and an expansion in net interest margin to 2.88%.
Net income for Q1 2025 was $2.3 million, a decrease from $4.4 million in Q4 2024, primarily due to increased provision for credit losses.
Diluted earnings per share were $0.13, down from $0.25 in the previous quarter.
Net interest margin expanded to 2.88% in Q1 2025, up from 2.76% in Q4 2024, driven by a decrease in the overall cost of funds.
Net loans held for investment grew by $89.8 million, or 12% annualized, indicating strong loan production.
The Company anticipates continued loan growth in the second quarter, albeit at a more moderate pace, and remains focused on resolving nonperforming loans while minimizing impact to earnings and capital.
