Financial Overview
Westamerica Bancorporation and its subsidiaries reported net income of $31.0 million or $1.16 diluted earnings per common share (EPS) in the first quarter of 2025. This compares to net income of $36.4 million or $1.37 EPS in the first quarter of 2024 and $31.7 million or $1.19 EPS in the fourth quarter of 2024.
The decrease in net income compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to a $9.7 million decrease in net interest and loan fee income, partially offset by a $550 thousand reversal of provision for credit losses and lower income tax expense. The decrease in net interest and loan fee income was driven by lower average balances of investment securities and loans, as well as lower yields on these earning assets.
Compared to the prior quarter, net income decreased $663 thousand mainly due to lower net interest and loan fee income, partially offset by the $550 thousand reversal of provision for credit losses and lower income tax expense. The decrease in net interest and loan fee income was due to lower average balances and yields on earning assets.
The company’s net interest margin (FTE) was 3.90% in the first quarter of 2025, down from 4.30% in the first quarter of 2024 and 4.01% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower yields on investment securities and interest-bearing cash, as well as a higher rate paid on interest-bearing deposits.
The company recorded a $550 thousand reversal of provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2025, compared to a $300 thousand provision in the first quarter of 2024. The allowance for credit losses on loans was $13.9 million at March 31, 2025, representing 1.80% of total loans.
Noninterest income increased $224 thousand year-over-year, driven by higher merchant processing services, trust fees, and a $102 thousand life insurance gain, partially offset by lower ATM processing fees. Compared to the prior quarter, noninterest income decreased $312 thousand due to lower debit card fees and service charges on deposit accounts.
Noninterest expense decreased $972 thousand year-over-year and $726 thousand from the prior quarter, primarily due to lower salaries and benefits and lower estimated operating losses from limited partnership investments.
The company’s capital ratios remained strong, with a Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio of 23.33% at March 31, 2025, well above the 7.00% regulatory requirement. The company’s equity to total assets ratio was 15.47% at the end of the first quarter.
Overall, Westamerica Bancorporation reported solid financial results in the first quarter of 2025, though net income declined compared to the prior year and prior quarter periods. The company maintained a strong capital position and credit quality, while managing expenses. However, the company faces ongoing challenges from the interest rate environment, inflation, and economic uncertainty that could impact future performance.
