Western Alliance Bancorporation Q1 revenue misses estimates, shares dip

NEW YORK - Western Alliance Bancorporation (NYSE:WAL) reported first quarter 2025 results that fell short of revenue expectations, sending shares down 1.9% in after-hours trading on Monday.

The Phoenix-based bank posted earnings per share of $1.79, in line with analyst estimates. However, revenue came in at $778 million, missing the consensus forecast of $791.05 million.

Net income for the quarter was $199.1 million, up 12.2% from $177.4 million in the same period last year. The company’s net interest margin declined to 3.47% from 3.60% a year ago.

"Western Alliance delivered solid first quarter results led by continued loan and deposit growth following the completion of our balance sheet repositioning efforts in 2024," said Kenneth A. Vecchione, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Total (EPA:TTEF) deposits increased 11.4% year-over-year to $69.3 billion. Loans held for investment grew 8% to $54.8 billion compared to the prior year quarter.

The bank’s efficiency ratio, adjusted for deposit costs, improved to 55.8% from 57.3% in Q1 2024. Its tangible book value per share rose 14.4% year-over-year to $54.10.

Western Alliance maintained strong capital levels, with a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 11.1% at quarter-end.
