Eagle Bancorp, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter 2025 Results and Cash Dividend

BETHESDA, Md., Jan. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eagle Bancorp, Inc. ("Eagle" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: EGBN), the Bethesda-based holding company for EagleBank, one of the largest community banks in the Washington D.C. area, reported its unaudited results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025.

Eagle reported a net income of $7.6 million or $0.25 per share for the fourth quarter 2025, compared to a net loss of $67.5 million or $(2.22) per share for the third quarter. The $75.1 million improvement from the prior quarter is primarily due to a $97.7 million decrease in provision expense, offset by a $14.3 million reduction in the tax benefit. In the quarter, net interest income increased by $0.1 million, noninterest income increased by $9.7 million, and noninterest expenses increased by $17.9 million.

Pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR") 1 in the fourth quarter was $20.7 million compared to $28.8 million for the prior quarter. The decrease is primarily due to a $17.9 million increase in noninterest expense, which was driven by higher costs associated with the disposition of certain loans held for sale ("HFS") and valuation adjustment on the remaining HFS portfolio.

"The quarter marked a return to profitability, supported by a lower provision expense as we continued to execute on credit risk reduction actions," said Susan G. Riel, President, and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "We are encouraged by our early progress and remain focused on our efforts to improve results. We will remain disciplined in executing on asset disposition strategies that are reducing exposures and improving overall credit quality."

Ms. Riel added, “Building on the funding progress made in 2025, we will remain committed to improving our funding mix in 2026 to drive stronger pre-provision net revenue and improved returns. We are repositioning the balance sheet for more durable performance — reducing concentrations to commercial real estate and construction loans, improving criticized and classified trends, and continuing to decrease held-for-sale exposure through planned first-quarter dispositions that lower mark-to-market sensitivity.”

Additionally, the Company is announcing today a cash dividend in the amount of $0.01 per share. The cash dividend will be payable on February 13, 2026 to shareholders of record on February 2, 2026.

In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by use of words such as "may," "will," "can," "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "plans," "strategy," "estimates," "potential," "continue," "should," "could," "strive," "feel" and similar words or phrases. These statements are based upon current and anticipated economic conditions, nationally and in the Company's market (including reductions in the size of the federal government workforce; changes in government spending; the economic effects of an extended government shutdown; the proposal, announcement or imposition of tariffs; volatility in interest rates and interest rate, monetary and fiscal policy; inflation levels; competitive factors; our ability to access cost-effective funding) and other conditions (such as the impact of bank failures, credit losses or adverse developments at other banks and related negative press about the banking industry in general on investor and depositor sentiment regarding the stability and liquidity of banks), which by their nature are not susceptible to accurate forecast and are subject to significant uncertainty. Because of these uncertainties and the assumptions on which this discussion and the forward-looking statements are based, actual future operations and results in the future may differ materially from those indicated herein. For details on factors that could affect these expectations, see the risk factors and other cautionary language included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and in other periodic and current reports filed with the SEC, including the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Tangible common equity, tangible common equity to tangible assets (the "tangible common equity ratio"), tangible book value per common share, average tangible common equity, and the annualized return on average tangible common equity are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP based amounts. The Company calculates the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common shareholders' equity, or tangible common equity, and dividing by tangible assets. The Company calculates tangible book value per common share by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which the Company calculates by dividing common shareholders' equity by common shares outstanding. The Company calculates the annualized return on average tangible common equity ratio by dividing net income available to common shareholders by average tangible common equity, which is calculated by excluding the average balance of intangible assets from the average common shareholders' equity. The Company considers this information important to shareholders as tangible equity is a measure that is consistent with the calculation of capital for bank regulatory purposes, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk based ratios, and as such is useful for investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate capital adequacy and to compare against other financial institutions.

The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing GAAP noninterest expense by the sum of GAAP net interest income and GAAP noninterest income. The efficiency ratio measures a bank's overhead as a percentage of its revenue. The Company believes that reporting the non-GAAP efficiency ratio more closely measures its effectiveness of controlling operational activities.

Pre-provision net revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by subtracting noninterest expenses from the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. The Company considers this information important to shareholders because it illustrates revenue excluding the impact of provisions and reversals to the allowance for credit losses on loans.
