National Bank Holdings Corporation Reports First Quarter 2025 Results

National Bank Holdings Corporation reported net income of $24.2 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2025, driven by a solid net interest margin of 3.93%. The quarterly results were impacted by elevated provision primarily resulting from a loan charge-off involving suspected fraud by the borrower. Removing the impact of the fraud-related charge-off and a payroll tax credit benefit included in the quarter, earnings per share would have exceeded analysts' median estimate for the quarter.

The Company delivered a return on tangible assets of 1.09% and a return on average tangible common equity of 10.64%, even in light of the charge-off. Past dues and non-performing loan ratios improved during the quarter, with non-performing loans decreasing one basis point to 0.45% of total loans at March 31, 2025. Non-performing assets decreased one basis point to 0.46% of total loans and OREO at March 31, 2025.

The Company generated $255.7 million in quarterly loan fundings, led by commercial loan fundings of $160.2 million. Loans totaled $7.6 billion at March 31, 2025, compared to $7.8 billion. The Company's Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio totaled 13.61% at March 31, 2025, and shareholders' equity increased $24.2 million to $1.3 billion.
