Avidbank Holdings, Inc. (AVBH)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

• Q2 2025 diluted EPS was $0.75, up from $0.71 in Q1 and $0.46 in Q2 2024; EPS matched S&P Global consensus at $0.75, while revenue (SPGI “net revenue” post-provision) of $20.903M missed the $22.445M consensus estimate, largely due to the reinstated $0.925M provision for credit losses * *.
• Net interest margin expanded to 3.60% (from 3.52% in Q1 and 3.39% YoY), driven by higher average loans and lower average short-term borrowings that stabilized funding costs; efficiency ratio improved to 57.77% from 62.57% in Q1 .
• Balance sheet momentum remained solid: loans +$70.5M QoQ (+15% annualized) led by C&I, owner-occupied CRE, and multi-family; average deposits +$86.2M QoQ (+18% annualized), with mix shift into interest-bearing checking and reduced non-reciprocal brokered deposits .
• Post-quarter, AVBH completed an IPO (3,001,500 shares at $23 per share; ~$62M net proceeds), strengthening capital and enabling potential repositioning of the AFS securities portfolio—an important medium-term capital and NIM lever .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

• Loan and deposit growth accelerated with improved profitability: net income rose to $5.8M (+27% annualized QoQ; +67% YoY) and ROAA reached 1.00% (vs. 0.96% in Q1; 0.62% YoY) .
• Margin expansion: NIM improved to 3.60% (+8 bps QoQ; +21 bps YoY) as higher loan yields outpaced stable funding costs amid reduced average short-term borrowings .
• Credit quality remained strong: NPA/TA stayed at 0.06% and NPLs/Total Loans at 0.07%; ACL-to-loans at ~1.03% with criticized and classified loan ratios contained .
• Quote: “Our second quarter results reflect the continued strength of our business model, with solid loan and deposit growth, further expansion in our net interest margin, and improved profitability.” — Mark D. Mordell, Chairman & CEO .

What Went Wrong

• Revenue miss versus consensus: SPGI net revenue of $20.903M undershot the $22.445M estimate as provision for credit losses resumed ($0.925M vs. $0 in Q1), dampening post-provision net interest revenue despite healthy NII growth * *.
• Loan yield headwind YoY: loan yields decreased 36 bps YoY (to 7.01%) due to prime rate reductions, partially offsetting favorable mix and volume .
• Noninterest expense remained elevated versus prior year ($12.6M vs. $11.8M in Q2 2024) with higher incentives and headcount, though down QoQ due to lower salaries/benefits and occupancy .

Estimates Context

• EPS: $0.75 actual vs $0.75 consensus — in-line. Coverage thin with 1 estimate, which can limit pre-announcement visibility and post-print revisions *.

• Revenue (SPGI net revenue): $20.903M actual vs $22.445M consensus — significant miss; driven by resumed provision ($0.925M) and lower loan yields YoY tied to prime rate reductions, partially offset by NIM expansion and deposit mix improvements * .

• With IPO proceeds strengthening capital and potential AFS repositioning, analysts may reassess medium-term NIM trajectory and AOCI sensitivity; however, near-term revenue modeling should incorporate ongoing provision normalization and deposit cost dynamics .

• Values marked with * retrieved from S&P Global.

Key Takeaways for Investors

• EPS in-line but revenue miss: Watch for estimate revisions to revenue/“net revenue” as provision normalizes and margin tailwinds continue; revenue miss was the clear negative surprise. Bold: Revenue missed consensus due to resumed provision * .
• Margin momentum: NIM +21 bps YoY and +8 bps QoQ; sustainability hinges on deposit mix (interest-bearing checking inflows), continued reduction of short-term borrowings, and potential AFS repositioning .
• Balance sheet growth: Loans +$70.5M QoQ and deposits +$73.3M QoQ with significant C&I, owner-occupied CRE, and multi-family growth; construction & land reduced, improving risk profile mix .
• Credit quality solid: NPA/TA 0.06%; NPLs/Loans 0.07%; ACL-to-loans ~1.03% — supports confidence in growth trajectory and contained loss content .
• Capital enhanced post-IPO: ~$62M net proceeds offer flexibility to reposition AFS (net unrealized loss improved to $63.4M) and support growth; monitor potential realized losses and NIM trade-offs if securities are sold .
• Expense discipline improving QoQ: Efficiency ratio fell to 57.77% on lower salaries/benefits and occupancy; watch incentives and headcount as growth scales .
• Trading implications: Near-term stock reaction likely shaped by the revenue miss vs consensus and margin expansion narrative; medium-term thesis centers on capital deployment, deposit mix optimization, and measured credit provisioning to sustain ROAA ≥1% * .
