Westamerica Bancorporation Reports Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Jan. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westamerica Bancorporation (Nasdaq: WABC), parent company of Westamerica Bank, generated net income for the fourth quarter 2025 of $27.8 million and diluted earnings per common share ("EPS") of $1.12. Fourth quarter 2025 results include an increase to the book tax provision to reconcile the 2024 income tax provision to the filed 2024 tax returns, which reduced EPS $0.02. Fourth quarter 2025 results compare to third quarter 2025 net income of $28.3 million and EPS of $1.12.
"Westamerica’s fourth quarter 2025 results benefited from the Company’s valuable low-cost deposit base, of which 46 percent was represented by non-interest bearing checking accounts during the quarter; the annualized cost of funding our loan and bond portfolios was 0.24 percent in the quarter. Operating expenses remained well controlled at 40 percent of total revenues. At December 31, 2025, nonperforming assets were stable at $1.8 million and the allowance for credit losses was $11.6 million” said Chairman, President and CEO David Payne. “Fourth quarter 2025 results generated an annualized 10.8 percent return on average common equity. Westamerica paid a $0.46 per common share dividend during the fourth quarter 2025, and retired 485 thousand common shares using its share repurchase plan. Westamerica’s capital ratios remain at levels exceeding the highest regulatory guidelines,” concluded Payne.
Net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) basis was $53.5 million for the fourth quarter 2025, compared to $53.8 million for the third quarter 2025. The annualized yield earned on loans, bonds and cash for the fourth quarter 2025 was 4.00 percent compared to 4.06 percent for the third quarter 2025. The annualized cost of funding the loan and bond portfolios was 0.24 percent for the fourth quarter 2025, compared to 0.26 percent for the third quarter 2025.
Noninterest income for the fourth quarter 2025 totaled $10.0 million compared to $10.2 million for the third quarter 2025.
Noninterest expenses for the fourth quarter 2025 were $25.5 million compared to $25.8 million for the third quarter 2025.
The income tax provision for the fourth quarter 2025 includes a $628 thousand increase to reconcile the 2024 income tax provision to the filed 2024 tax returns.

| (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 December 31, 2025, September 30, 2025 and December 31, 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. | |||||||||||
