Prosperity Bancshares Q2 Earnings Beat on Higher NII & Lower Expenses
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
PB posted Q2 EPS of $1.42, which beat estimates and rose from $1.22 a year ago.
Higher NII and lower non-interest expenses supported earnings despite a revenue miss.
Total loans rose 1% but deposits fell 2%. Non-performing assets increased year over year.
Prosperity Bancshares Inc.’s (PB - Free Report) second-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.42 beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.40. Moreover, the bottom line compared favorably with adjusted EPS of $1.22 in the prior-year quarter.
Results benefited from an increase in net interest income (NII), adjusted non-interest income, alongside lower provisions and expenses. Also, a higher loan balance was another positive. However, a lower deposit balance was a negative.
Net income available to common shareholders was $135.2 million, up from $111.6 million in the year-ago quarter.
PB’s Revenues Increase, Expenses Decline
Quarterly total revenues were $310.7 million, which increased 1.9% from the prior-year quarter. However, the top line missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $312.5 million.
NII was $267.7 million, up 3.5% year over year. Net interest margin (NIM), on a tax-equivalent basis, expanded 24 basis points to 3.18%. Our estimates for NII and NIM were pegged at $271.1 million and 3.15%, respectively.
Non-interest income was $43 million, down 6.6%. The fall was due to lower net gain on sale or write-up of securities. Our estimate for the metric was pegged at $40.6 million. Adjusted non-interest income was $41.6 million, up 14.9% from the prior-year quarter.
Non-interest expenses declined 9.3% to $138.6 million. The decline can be attributed to a decrease in almost all cost components, except for net occupancy and equipment charges, as well as credit and debit card, data processing, and software amortization costs, communications charges, and other real estate expenses. Our estimate for non-interest expenses was $143.3 million.
The adjusted efficiency ratio was 44.80%, which decreased from 49.13% in the prior year quarter. A decline in the efficiency ratio indicates better profitability.
As of June 30, 2025, total loans were $22.2 billion, which rose 1% from the prior quarter. On the other hand, total deposits were $27.5 billion, a 2% sequential decline. Our estimates for total loans and total deposits were $23 billion and $28.3 billion, respectively.
PB’s Credit Quality: A Mixed Bag
As of June 30, 2025, total non-performing assets were $110.5 million, which rose from $89.6 million in the prior-year quarter. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.56%, down from 1.61% year over year.
Net charge-offs were $3 million compared with $4.4 million in the year-ago period.
The company did not record any provision for credit losses during the reported quarter, down from the year-ago quarter figure of $9.1 million.
Prosperity Bancshares’ Capital & Profitability Ratios Improve
As of June 30, 2025, the common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 17.10%, up from 15.42% in the prior year quarter. The total risk-based capital ratio was 18.35%, up from 16.67%.
At the end of the second quarter, the annualized return on average assets was 1.41%, up from 1.12% at the end of the prior-year quarter. Also, the annualized return on average common equity was 7.13%, which increased from 6.10%.
Our Take on Prosperity Bancshares
Prosperity Bancshares' emphasis on strategic acquisitions is expected to contribute to its long-term financial strength. Decent loans, a solid deposit mix and improving fee income are likely to support the top line. However, a liability-sensitive balance sheet and elevated expenses remain near-term concerns.
