LOS ANGELES - RBB Bancorp (NASDAQ:RBB), a regional bank with a market capitalization of $324 million, reported net income of $9.3 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025. According to InvestingPro data, the bank maintains a FAIR financial health score, with particularly strong cash flow metrics.
The significant increase in quarterly profit was largely attributed to a one-time Employee Retention Credit (ERC) of $5.2 million that was included in other income, partially offset by $1.2 million in professional and advisory costs associated with the ERC.
Net interest income rose to $27.3 million in the second quarter from $26.2 million in the previous quarter, while the net interest margin expanded to 2.92% from 2.88%. The improvement was driven by a 3 basis point increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets and a 1 basis point decrease in the overall cost of funds.
Total loans held for investment grew by $91.6 million, or 12% annualized, to $3.2 billion compared to the previous quarter. The increase was primarily due to a $57.3 million rise in single-family residential mortgage loans and a $28.0 million increase in commercial real estate loans. InvestingPro analysis reveals that while the bank has shown strong recent performance, three analysts have revised their earnings expectations downward for the upcoming period.

The company’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per common share, payable on August 12, 2025, to shareholders of record on July 31, 2025.
