Key Takeaways
UMB Financial's Q3 EPS of $2.70 beat estimates and rose from $2.25 a year ago.
Strong NII and non-interest income drove a 66% revenue surge and higher margins.
The company raised its quarterly dividend 7.5%, marking its 23rd hike in 20 years.
UMB Financial Corp. (UMBF - Free Report) reported third-quarter 2025 operating earnings per share of $2.70, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.48. The bottom line also compared favorably with $2.25 in the year-ago quarter.
The company delivered a strong quarterly performance, supported by organic growth within its legacy UMBF operations and the integration benefits of its January 2025 acquisition of Heartland Financial USA, Inc. The results were further bolstered by increases in net interest income (NII) and non-interest income. However, the overall performance was partially offset by deteriorating asset quality and elevated non-interest expenses.
Net income (GAAP basis) for UMBF was $180.4 million in the third quarter, soaring 64.5% from the year-ago quarter.
UMB Financial’s Revenues & Expenses Rise
Quarterly revenues (FTE) were $686.7 million, surging 66.4% year over year. Also, the top line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.2%.
NII on an FTE basis was $483.4 million, a jump of 90.3% from the prior-year quarter. On an FTE basis, the net interest margin was 3.04%, up 58 bps year over year. The increase was primarily driven by a rise in average earning assets due to rate and mix changes related to the acquisition of Heartland Financial.
Non-interest income was $203.3 million, up 28.1% year over year. The rise was primarily driven by an increase in trust and securities processing, and service charges on deposit accounts.
Non-interest expenses were $419.3 million, surging 66.1% year over year. Third-quarter 2025 expenses included $35.6 million in total acquisition-related and other non-recurring costs. Operating non-interest expenses (adjusted basis) were $385 million, up 53% year over year.
The efficiency ratio was 58.1%, up from the prior-year quarter’s 61.7%. A decline in the efficiency ratio indicates an increase in profitability.
