Loan growth expectations, deposit cost reduction strategies, CRE loan competition and spread tightening, loan yield trends, and loan growth and pipeline are the key contradictions discussed in BridgewaterBWB-- Bancshares' latest 2025Q1 earnings call.
Financial Performance and Loan Growth:
- Bridgewater reported an adjusted earnings per share of $0.32 for Q1 2025, excluding merger-related expenses.
- The company experienced a 16% annualized increase in loan balances during the quarter.
- This growth was attributed to a strong focus on core deposit growth and increased loan demand in their market, resulting in a robust balance sheet and net interest margin expansion.
Net Interest Margin and Income Expansion:
- The net interest margin expanded by 19 basis points to 2.51% in Q1 2025, with a 12% increase in net interest income.
- The expansion was driven by lower deposit pricing, higher loan yields, and some accretion benefits.
- The company saw a 23% year-over-year increase in total revenue, supported by strong net interest income growth.
Capital and Share Repurchase:
- Bridgewater repurchased approximately $600,000 of common stock during Q1 2025, with capital ratios leveled off following the acquisition in the previous quarter.
- The company has a remaining authorization of $14.7 million under its current share repurchase authorization.
- Share repurchases were driven by attractive valuations and a focus on supporting shareholder value, despite potential capital needs for loan growth and M&A opportunities.
CRE and Credit Quality:
- The company's CRE exposure remains limited to 5% of total loans, focusing on multifamily and affordable housing sectors.
- Bridgewater moved one central business district office loan to nonaccrual, increasing nonperforming assets to 0.20% of assets.
