Banner Corp. reports Q3 EPS $1.54, consensus $1.40

Net interest income was $150.0 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $144.4 million in the preceding quarter and $135.7 million for the third quarter a year ago. “Banner’s third quarter performance reflects the continued strength of our super community bank strategy, which focuses on building client relationships, preserving a strong funding base, and delivering exceptional service while sustaining a moderate risk profile,” said Mark Grescovich, President and CEO. “Our earnings for the third quarter of 2025 benefited from solid year over year loan growth as well as higher yields on interest-earning assets. The strategic investments we have made across the organization are generating meaningful returns and are further strengthening Banner for long-term success. Additionally, Banner continues to demonstrate strong credit quality, supported by stable credit metrics, a well-funded reserve for loan losses, and a robust capital position that provides resilience and flexibility for future growth. We also continue to benefit from a strong core deposit base, with core deposits representing 89% of total deposits at quarter-end. For 135 years, Banner has stayed true to its core values by consistently doing the right thing for our clients, communities, colleagues, company and shareholders. Our long-standing commitment has enabled us to navigate change with confidence and continue building a strong foundation for the future.”
