In other recent news, Merchants Bancorp reported first-quarter 2025 earnings that did not meet analyst expectations. The company posted a net income of $58.2 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, which was $0.29 below the consensus estimate of $1.22 per share. This represents a 33% decline from the previous year’s first-quarter net income of $87.1 million, or $1.80 per diluted share. Total (EPA:TTEF) revenue for the quarter was $145.9 million, marking a 13% decrease from $168 million year-over-year. Merchants Bancorp attributed the decline to market uncertainty affecting loan originations and conversions, impacting both gain on sale revenue and net interest margin. The allowance for credit losses on loans increased to $83.4 million, up 10% from the previous year, primarily due to issues in the multi-family loan portfolio. Non-performing loans also rose to 2.73% of total loans, compared to 1.22% in the first quarter of 2024. Despite these challenges, the company’s leadership expressed confidence in their strategic direction and future performance outlook.
