Westamerica Bancorporation Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Oct. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westamerica Bancorporation (Nasdaq: WABC), parent company of Westamerica Bank, generated net income for the third quarter 2025 of $28.3 million and diluted earnings per common share ("EPS") of $1.12. Third quarter 2025 results compare to second quarter 2025 net income of $29.1 million and EPS of $1.12.

"Westamerica’s third quarter 2025 results benefited from the Company’s low-cost operating principles. The annualized cost of funding interest-earning loans, bonds and cash was 0.26 percent for the third quarter 2025. The Company recognized no provision for credit losses in the third quarter 2025. At September 30, 2025, nonperforming assets were $2.6 million and the allowance for credit losses on loans was $11.9 million. Westamerica operated efficiently, spending 40 percent of its revenue on operating costs in the third quarter 2025,” said Chairman, President and CEO David Payne. “Third quarter 2025 results generated an annualized 10.9 percent return on average common equity. Westamerica paid a $0.46 per common share dividend during the third quarter 2025, and retired 488 thousand common shares using its share repurchase plan. Westamerica’s capital ratios remain at historically high levels exceeding the highest regulatory guidelines,” concluded Payne.

Net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) basis was $53.8 million for the third quarter 2025, compared to $54.6 million for the second quarter 2025. The annualized yield earned on loans, bonds and cash for the third quarter 2025 was 4.06 percent compared to 4.07 percent for the second quarter 2025. The annualized cost of funding interest-earning loans, bonds and cash was 0.26 percent for the third quarter 2025 compared to 0.22 percent for the second quarter 2025.

Noninterest income for the third quarter 2025 totaled $10.2 million compared to $10.3 million for the second quarter 2025.

Noninterest expense was $25.8 million for the third quarter 2025 compared to $25.5 million for the second quarter 2025. The increase in noninterest expense is primarily due to higher salaries and benefits expense due to one more business day in the third quarter 2025 compared to the second quarter 2025, higher occupancy and equipment expense and professional fees.

The income tax provision (FTE) for the third quarter 2025 was $10.0 million compared to $10.3 million for the second quarter 2025.

  (1) Debt Securities Held To Maturity and Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions are net of related reserve for expected credit losses of $1 thousand at September 30, 2025, June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024.  
             
  (FTE) Fully Taxable Equivalent. The Company presents its net interest margin and net interest income on a FTE basis using the current statutory federal tax rate. Management believes the FTE basis is valuable to the reader because the Company’s loan and investment securities portfolios contain a portion of municipal loans and securities that are federally tax exempt. The Company’s tax exempt loans and securities composition may not be similar to that of other banks, therefore in order to reflect the impact of the federally tax exempt loans and securities on the net interest margin and net interest income for comparability with other banks, the Company presents its net interest margin and net interest income on a FTE basis.  
             
  (a) Annualized          
             
  Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
