Bank of Marin Bancorp Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results
NOVATO, Calif.--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Bank of Marin Bancorp, "Bancorp" (Nasdaq: BMRC), parent company of Bank of Marin, "Bank," today announced that during the fourth quarter, near-record loan originations drove improved loan growth, asset quality strengthened, and net interest margin expanded due to both deposit cost reductions and our recent balance sheet repositioning. While the repositioning is expected to drive further margin expansion in 2026, as previously disclosed and as part of the repositioning, the Company incurred losses on the sale of securities during the fourth quarter, which resulted in a quarterly loss of $39.5 million. This compared to net income of $7.5 million for the third quarter of 2025. Diluted loss per share was $2.49 for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to earnings per share of $0.47 for the prior quarter. The fourth quarter pre-tax losses on the sale of securities were $69.5 million.
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 totaled $35.7 million compared to a net loss of $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Results for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 include pre-tax losses on the sale of securities of $88.2 million and $32.5 million, respectively.
On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the losses on sale of securities noted above, net income was $9.4 million for the fourth quarter, a 25% increase, and diluted earnings per share was $0.59, a 26% increase compared to the prior quarter. Non-GAAP net income for the year was $26.5 million, compared to net income of $14.5 million in the prior year, an 82% increase.

Concurrent with this release, Bancorp issued presentation slides providing supplemental information, some of which will be discussed during the fourth quarter 2025 earnings call. The earnings release and presentation slides are intended to be reviewed together and can be found online on Bank of Marin’s website at www.bankofmarin.com. under “Investor Relations.”
“We are excited to announce another quarter of positive trends in loan originations, deposit balances and pricing, net interest margin, and credit quality,” said Tim Myers, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Quarterly loan production excluding PPP loans was the highest since 4Q 2015, resulting in record annual volume of $273 million. We executed on a balance sheet repositioning in Q4 that contributed to NIM improvement of 0.24% for the quarter and non-GAAP net income for 2025 that was 82% higher than the prior year.
"Our proactive approach to risk management resulted in continued improvement in classified loans, non-accruals, and delinquencies. Given the timing of loan originations in Q4 and further benefits from the balance sheet repositioning, we anticipate the positive earnings trends will continue into subsequent quarters."
Bancorp also provided the following highlights for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025:

“The investment grade ratings we received from Kroll Bond Rating Agency and the related successful issuance of $45 million in subordinated notes to support our balance sheet repositioning demonstrate the strength of our financial position and reinforce our positive growth outlook,” said Chief Financial Officer Dave Bonaccorso. “We look forward to utilizing some of the incremental profitability to invest in hiring, technology, and other efficiency initiatives to continue driving earnings growth and shareholder value."
Loans and Credit Quality
Loans increased by $30.5 million for the fourth quarter and totaled $2.121 billion as of December 31, 2025 compared to $2.090 billion as of September 30, 2025. Fourth quarter new fundings of $106.5 million were the highest since 2015, excluding PPP loans.
Loans increased by $37.6 million from $2.083 billion as of December 31, 2024, and was mainly due to a $92.7 million increase in commercial non-owner occupied real estate loans, offset by a decrease of $32.6 million in residential real estate loans.
As indicated in the loan roll forward table below, newly funded loans for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased by 54% quarter over quarter and by 79% year over year.

1 New total commitments includes both newly funded loans and new unfunded commitments
Non-accrual loans totaled $26.9 million, or 1.27% of the loan portfolio, at December 31, 2025, compared to $31.5 million, or 1.51%, at September 30, 2025. The $4.6 million decrease resulted from a $3.6 million payoff on a commercial relationship which included fees and interest recovery of $667 thousand. Additionally, there was a $500 thousand decrease due to risk rating improvements and a $500 thousand decrease due to net paydowns during the fourth quarter of 2025. Of the total non-accrual loans as of December 31, 2025, approximately 68% were paying as agreed, 97% were real estate secured, and all are being closely managed and monitored.
We continue to closely monitor our portfolio for signs of potential weakness to ensure proactive risk management and actively work towards a resolution on our classified loans. Classified loans decreased by $17.3 million to $32.1 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $49.4 million as of September 30, 2025. The decrease was largely due to upgrades of $12.8 million and payoffs of $4.4 million during the fourth quarter. Downgrades to classified during the quarter were nominal consisting of six small loans totaling approximately $578 thousand.
Accruing loans past due 30 to 89 days totaled $2.8 million at December 31, 2025, down from $11.0 million at September 30, 2025.
Loans designated special mention, which are not considered adversely classified, increased by $29.5 million to $118.0 million as of December 31, 2025, from $88.5 million as of September 30, 2025. The increase was largely due to the downgrade of $34.5 million to special mention from pass/watch and the upgrade of $12.8 million from classified. This was offset by upgrades to pass/watch of $7.0 million, payoffs of $6.0 million and paydowns of $4.8 million. All loans in this category continue to pay as agreed.
Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2025 totaled $64 thousand, compared to none in the prior quarter.
There was a provision of $300 thousand for credit losses on loans in the fourth quarter due primarily to loan growth and modest deterioration in the economic forecast, compared to no provision in the prior quarter. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.42% at December 31, 2025, compared to 1.43% at September 30, 2025.
There was a provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments of $185 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2025 due to growth in loan commitments of $20.8 million primarily from new originations. There was no provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments in the third quarter of 2025.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $225.3 million at December 31, 2025, compared to $219.3 million at September 30, 2025. The $6.0 million increase was mainly a result of the growth in deposits and the receipt of the $43.8 million in subordinated notes, net of issuance costs, partially offset by the increase in loans and investment purchases.
Investments
The investment securities portfolio totaled $1.328 billion at December 31, 2025, a decrease of $27.5 million from September 30, 2025. On November 3, 2025, the Bank reclassified its HTM portfolio into AFS and sold securities with a book value of $593.2 million at a pre-tax loss of $69.5 million. Also reducing the total balance were principal repayments and maturities totaling $52.6 million and $20.1 million, respectively, and an $18.4 million increase in unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities, $11.7 million of which was related to reclassifying the HTM securities to AFS. These were offset by purchases of $647.0 million in AFS securities and $9.8 million in net accretion/amortization of discounts/premiums. Our portfolio is eligible for pledging to FHLB or the Federal Reserve as collateral for borrowing. The portfolio is comprised of high credit quality investments with an average effective duration of 2.95. The portfolio generates cash flows monthly from interest, principal amortization and payoffs, which further supports the Bank's liquidity. Those cash flows totaled $84.2 million and $42.3 million in the fourth and third quarters of 2025, respectively.
Deposits
Deposits totaled $3.416 billion at December 31, 2025, compared to $3.383 billion at September 30, 2025. The increase in deposits was mostly due to a mixture of new relationships and growth within existing ones. Non-interest bearing deposits made up 43.7% of total deposits as of December 31, 2025, compared to 43.1% as of September 30, 2025. The Bank's competitive and balanced approach to relationship management including focused outreach and business development generated almost 1,000 new accounts during the fourth quarter, 45% of which were new relationships (excluding new reciprocal accounts). Balances in the reciprocal deposit network program increased $11.9 million during the quarter to $509.1 million, and estimated uninsured deposits consisted of 31% of total deposits as of December 31, 2025.
Borrowing and Liquidity
At December 31, 2025, the Bank had no outstanding borrowings, consistent with September 30, 2025. Net available funding sources, including unrestricted cash, unencumbered available-for-sale securities, and total available borrowing capacity, were $2.148 billion, or 63% of total deposits and 204% of estimated uninsured and/or uncollateralized deposits as of December 31, 2025.

1 Excludes cash items in transit as of December 31, 2025.
Note: Off-balance sheet one-way deposits totaling $51.2 million available through third-party networks are not included above.
Subordinated Notes
During the fourth quarter, Bancorp issued Fixed-to-Floating Subordinated Notes of $45.0 million with a final maturity date of December 1, 2035, to certain investors in a private placement to strengthen capital ratios as part of the balance sheet repositioning. The interest rate of the Bank’s subordinated notes is 6.75%, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on June 1, 2026. After December 1, 2030, the interest rate will be variable and equal Three-Month Term SOFR plus 335 basis points, resetting quarterly.
Capital Resources
The total risk-based capital ratio for Bancorp was 15.25% at December 31, 2025, compared to 16.13% at September 30, 2025. The total risk-based capital ratio for the Bank was 13.90% at December 31, 2025, compared to 15.11% at September 30, 2025.
Bancorp's tangible common equity to tangible assets was 8.35% at December 31, 2025, compared to 9.72% at September 30, 2025. The TCE ratio decreased quarter over quarter mostly due to the increase in unrealized losses attributed to the HTM securities reclassification and the subsequent loss from sale of securities. The Bank's capital plan and point-in-time capital stress tests indicate that capital ratios will remain above well-capitalized regulatory and internal policy minimums throughout the five-year forecast horizon and across various stress scenarios such as additional unrealized losses on the investment portfolio, additional deposit growth or decline, loan credit quality deterioration, and potential share repurchases.
Earnings
Net Interest Income
Net interest income totaled $31.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $28.2 million for the prior quarter. The $3.0 million increase from the prior quarter was primarily related to an increase of $2.1 million in interest income on investment securities due to the balance sheet repositioning. Also contributing to the variance was an increase of $874 thousand in interest income on loans due to growth at higher rates and the $667 thousand in recovered interest on the non-accrual payoff in the quarter noted above, as well as the reduction of $598 thousand in interest expense on deposits due to strategic rate decreases. These were partially offset by the increase in interest expense on the new subordinated notes of $368 thousand and the decrease in interest income on cash balances of $202 thousand mostly due to a decline in the rate paid on balances at the Federal Reserve Bank.
Net interest income totaled $110.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $94.7 million in 2024. The $15.6 million increase from the prior year was primarily due to an increase of $5.4 million in interest income on investment securities due to the repositionings. Also contributing to the variance was the reduction of $4.6 million in interest expense on deposits due to strategic rate decreases. Interest income on loans and cash balances also increased significantly by $2.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively. These were partially offset by the increase in interest expense on the new subordinated notes of $368 thousand.
The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.32% for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 3.08% for the prior quarter. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to the increase in yield on the investment securities due to the repositioning and the reduction in cost of deposits, contributing 19 and 9 basis points, respectively. Increases in loans at higher rates in the quarter added 3 basis points, as well. These were partially offset by the addition of subordinated notes in the quarter and the reduction in earnings on due from banks resulting from both lower average balances and lower rates given the Federal Funds rate cuts, reducing the margin by 4 and 3 basis points, respectively.
The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.06% for 2025, compared to 2.63% for 2024. Higher yields on investment securities and loans increased the margin by 15 and 8 basis points, respectively. Higher deposit balances at significantly reduced deposit costs contributed to a 13 basis point improvement. In addition, the significant interest-bearing cash balance added 7 basis points, despite rate reductions later in 2025.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income showed a loss of $66.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to income of $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2025. The $69.4 million decrease from the prior quarter was primarily attributed to the $69.5 million loss taken on the sale of securities mentioned above. There were no other notable variances in the quarter. Non-interest income excluding the loss on sale was $2.8 million.
Non-interest income showed a loss of $76.7 million for 2025, a $55.3 million decrease from a loss of $21.4 million for 2024. The decrease in 2025 was primarily due to the $55.7 million change in net loss on sale of available-for-sale investment securities in 2025 and 2024 related to our balance sheet repositionings previously discussed. Excluding losses on sale of securities in both years, non-interest income increased by $371 thousand, which included a $306 thousand year-over-year increase in earnings on bank-owned life insurance death benefits.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expenses totaled $21.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $21.3 million for the prior quarter, an increase of $95 thousand. Deposit network fees increased by $369 thousand due to rising volume and rate and professional services increased by $226 thousand mainly due to increased performance of annual audit work in the quarter. Salaries and related benefits decreased by $645 thousand largely due to incentive bonus and profit sharing accrual adjustments.
Non-interest expenses increased $3.7 million to $85.5 million in 2025 from $81.8 million in 2024. Significant fluctuations were as follows:
Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Financial results are presented in accordance with GAAP and with reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that, given industry turmoil that largely began in the first quarter of 2023, the presentation of Bancorp's non-GAAP TCE ratio reflecting the after tax impact of unrealized losses on held-to-maturity securities provides useful supplemental information to investors because it reflects the level of capital remaining after a hypothetical liquidation of the entire securities portfolio. In addition, management believes that providing selected financial measures excluding the loss on sale of securities discussed above is useful to investors as the strategic short-term loss taken for expected long-term profitability makes the operational performance difficult to compare to other periods. Because there are limits to the usefulness of this or any other non-GAAP measure to investors, Bancorp encourages readers to consider its annual and quarterly consolidated financial statements and notes related thereto for their entirety, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and not to rely on any single financial measure. A reconciliation of the GAAP financial measures to comparable non-GAAP financial measures is presented below.

Forward-Looking Statements
This release may contain certain forward-looking statements that are based on management's current expectations regarding economic, legislative, and regulatory issues that may impact Bancorp's earnings in future periods. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could” or “may.” Factors that could cause future results to vary materially from current management expectations include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions and the economic uncertainty in the United States and abroad, including economic or other disruptions to financial markets caused by the Trump administration's approach to tariffs and trade, acts of terrorism, war or other conflicts, impacts from inflation, supply chain disruptions, changes in interest rates (including the actions taken by the Federal Reserve to control inflation), California's unemployment rate, deposit flows, real estate values, and expected future cash flows on loans and securities; the impact of adverse developments at other banks, including bank failures, that impact general sentiment regarding the stability and liquidity of banks; costs or effects of acquisitions; competition; changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; changes in legislation or regulation; natural disasters (such as wildfires and earthquakes in our area); adverse weather conditions; interruptions of utility service in our markets for sustained periods; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological factors (including external fraud and cybersecurity threats) affecting our operations, pricing, products and services; and successful integration of acquisitions. These and other important factors are detailed in various securities law filings made periodically by Bancorp, copies of which are available from Bancorp without charge. Bancorp undertakes no obligation to release publicly the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

1 Interest income/expense is divided by actual number of days in the period times 360 days to correspond to stated interest rate terms, where applicable.
2 Yields on available-for-sale securities are calculated based on amortized cost balances rather than fair value, as changes in fair value are reflected as a component of stockholders' equity. Investment security interest is earned on 30/360 day basis monthly.
3 Yields and interest income on tax-exempt securities and loans are presented on a taxable-equivalent basis using the Federal statutory rate of 21 percent in 2025 and 2024.
4 Average balances on loans outstanding include non-performing loans. The amortized portion of net loan origination fees is included in interest income on loans, representing an adjustment to the yield.
5 Net loan origination (costs) fees included in interest income totaled $(1.7) million, $(1.6) million, and $(1.3) million in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
