NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Valley National Bancorp (NASDAQ:VLY), the holding company for Valley National Bank, today reported net income for the third quarter 2025 of $163.4 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share, as compared to the second quarter 2025 net income of $133.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share, and net income of $97.9 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share, for the third quarter 2024. Excluding all non-core income and charges, our adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) was $164.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share, for the third quarter 2025, $134.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted common share, for the second quarter 2025, and $96.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share, for the third quarter 2024. See further details below, including a reconciliation of our non-GAAP adjusted net income, in the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables.
Ira Robbins, CEO, commented, "This quarter's results reflect Valley's strong momentum as our profitability improvement is catching up to the balance sheet strengthening that has occurred since the beginning of 2024. New additions to our leadership team have already begun to positively impact our business generation, talent base, and strategic operating model."
Mr. Robbins continued, "Valley remains a strong regional bank player in an ever-shrinking pool. Our unique ability to combine the robust suite of financial products and services of a large bank with the high-touch service, responsiveness, and market knowledge of a community bank position us extremely well to capitalize on the significant opportunities that we believe lay ahead in the rest of 2025 and into 2026 and beyond."
Key financial highlights for the third quarter 2025:
- Net Interest Income and Margin: Our net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis increased by 4 basis points to 3.05 percent for the third quarter 2025 as compared to 3.01 percent for the second quarter 2025. Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis of $447.5 million for the third quarter 2025 increased $13.8 million and $35.7 million compared to the second quarter 2025 and the third quarter 2024, respectively. The increase in net interest income from the second quarter 2025 was mainly driven by (i) higher yields on most new loan originations, (ii) increases in average loans and taxable investments, and (iii) one additional day during the third quarter 2025. Our net interest margin increased due to these same factors, although higher average interest-bearing cash balances were a slight headwind to its growth during the third quarter 2025. See additional details in the "Net Interest Income and Margin" section below.
- Deposits: Total deposit balances increased $450.5 million to $51.2 billion at September 30, 2025 as compared to $50.7 billion at June 30, 2025 mainly due to deposit inflows from commercial customer and government deposits in the savings, NOW and money market deposit category during the third quarter 2025, partially offset by a $629.9 million decline in indirect customer deposits. Non-interest bearing deposits were $11.7 billion at both September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025. See the "Deposits" section below for more details.
- Loan Portfolio: Total loans decreased $118.6 million, or 1.0 percent on an annualized basis, to $49.3 billion at September 30, 2025 from June 30, 2025 mostly due to decreases of $142.5 million and $112.2 million in total commercial real estate (CRE) loans and commercial and industrial (C&I) loans, respectively, partially offset by increases in residential mortgage and total consumer loans. The decline in commercial loan activity in the third quarter 2025 was primarily due to targeted runoff of transactional CRE loans and a small commodities portfolio within C&I loans. As a result, our CRE loan concentration ratio (defined as total commercial real estate loans held for investment and held for sale, excluding owner occupied loans, as a percentage of total risk-based capital) declined to approximately 337 percent at September 30, 2025 from 349 percent at June 30, 2025. See the "Loans" section below for more details.
- Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses for Loans: The allowance for credit losses for loans totaled $598.6 million and $594.0 million at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively, representing 1.21 percent and 1.20 percent of total loans at each respective date. During the third quarter 2025, we recorded a provision for credit losses for loans of $19.2 million as compared to $37.8 million and $75.0 million for the second quarter 2025 and third quarter 2024, respectively. See the "Credit Quality" section below for more details.
- Credit Quality: Net loan charge-offs totaled $14.6 million for the third quarter 2025 as compared to $37.8 million and $42.9 million for the second quarter 2025 and third quarter 2024, respectively. Total accruing past due loans (i.e., loans past due 30 days or more and still accruing interest) decreased $114.4 million to $84.8 million, or 0.17 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2025 as compared to $199.2 million, or 0.40 percent of total loans, at June 30, 2025. Non-accrual loans totaled $421.5 million, or 0.86 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2025 as compared to $354.4 million, or 0.72 percent of total loans, at June 30, 2025. The increase in non-accrual loans was mainly due to three new non-performing CRE and construction loans totaling $67.0 million. These loans are largely well-collateralized and have total allocated reserves of $8.8 million within the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2025. See the "Credit Quality" section below for more details.
- Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income increased $2.3 million to $64.9 million for the third quarter 2025 as compared to the second quarter 2025 mainly driven by an increase of $2.1 million in both service charges on deposit accounts and wealth management and trust fees. The increases were mostly due to growth in treasury service fees for commercial deposit customers, brokerage fees and tax credit advisory service fees. These increases were partially offset by lower bank owned life insurance income and net gains on sales of loans during the third quarter 2025.
- Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expense decreased $2.1 million to $282.0 million for the third quarter 2025 as compared to the second quarter 2025 largely due to a decrease of $3.8 million in the FDIC insurance assessment expense reflecting a decline in our total expected special assessment charges. In addition, other non-interest expense and loss on extinguishment of debt decreased $1.6 million and $922 thousand, respectively, for the third quarter 2025 as compared to the second quarter 2025. These decreases were largely offset by an increase of $4.3 million in professional and legal fees driven by higher consulting and legal expenses. Salary and employee benefits expense also increased $1.4 million largely due to a $3.1 million increase in restructuring related severance charges, partially offset by a decrease in payroll taxes. See the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables below for additional information regarding our non-core items, including the FDIC special assessment expense and severance charges.
- Efficiency Ratio: Our efficiency ratio was 53.37 percent for the third quarter 2025 as compared to 55.20 percent and 56.13 percent for the second quarter 2025 and third quarter 2024, respectively. See the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables below for additional information regarding our non-GAAP measures.
- Performance Ratios: Annualized return on average assets (ROA), shareholders' equity (ROE) and tangible ROE were 1.04 percent, 8.58 percent and 11.59 percent for the third quarter 2025, respectively. Annualized ROA, ROE, and tangible ROE, adjusted for non-core income and charges, were 1.04 percent, 8.62 percent and 11.64 percent for the third quarter 2025, respectively. Our profitability ratios continue to improve steadily and our adjusted annualized ROA for the third quarter 2025 recovered to the highest level since the fourth quarter 2022. See the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables below for additional information regarding our non-GAAP measures.
Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis of $447.5 million for the third quarter 2025 increased $13.8 million and $35.7 million compared to the second quarter 2025 and the third quarter 2024, respectively. Interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased $21.9 million to $828.2 million for the third quarter 2025 as compared to the second quarter 2025. The increase was mostly driven by (i) higher yields on most new loan originations, (ii) increases in average loans and taxable investments and (iii) one additional day in the third quarter 2025. Total interest expense increased $8.1 million to $380.7 million for the third quarter 2025 as compared to the second quarter 2025. The increase was largely due to a $1.1 billion increase in average interest bearing deposit balances, partially offset by the positive impact of the early redemption of $115 million of subordinated notes on June 15, 2025, lower utilization of short-term FHLB borrowings and the repayment of higher-cost indirect customer deposits throughout the quarter. See the "Deposits" and "Other Borrowings" sections below for more details.
Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis of 3.05 percent for the third quarter 2025 increased by 4 basis points from 3.01 percent for the second quarter 2025 and increased 19 basis points from 2.86 percent for the third quarter 2024. The increase as compared to the second quarter 2025 was mostly due to the 5 basis point increase in the yield on average interest earning assets largely caused by higher interest rates on most new loan originations in the third quarter 2025 and higher yielding investment purchases during the last six months, which were both partially offset by our elevated cash position. The overall cost of average interest bearing liabilities increased 1 basis points to 3.57 percent for the third quarter 2025 as compared to the second quarter 2025 mostly due to a 4 basis point increase in the cost of non-maturity interest bearing deposits, partially offset by a lower overall cost of time deposits mostly driven by the repayment of maturing indirect customer CDs. Our cost of total average deposits was 2.69 percent for the third quarter 2025 as compared to 2.67 percent and 3.25 percent for the second quarter 2025 and the third quarter 2024, respectively.
Loans, Deposits and Other Borrowings
Loans. Total loans decreased $118.6 million, or 1.0 percent on an annualized basis, to $49.3 billion at September 30, 2025 from June 30, 2025. Total CRE (including construction) loans decreased $142.5 million to $28.7 billion at September 30, 2025 from June 30, 2025. Construction loans decreased $337.6 million, or 47.3 percent on an annualized basis, to $2.5 billion at September 30, 2025 from June 30, 2025. The decrease in construction loans was mainly due to the completion of existing projects that were repaid or moved to permanent financing within both the non-owner and owner occupied loan categories of the CRE loan portfolio during the third quarter 2025. As a result of this migration and new originations, owner occupied CRE loans increased $307.9 million, or 21.3 percent on an annualized basis at September 30, 2025 from June 30, 2025. Non-owner occupied and multifamily CRE loans decreased $73.4 million and $39.5 million, respectively, at September 30, 2025 from June 30, 2025 due to the targeted runoff of transactional CRE loans. C&I loans declined by $112.2 million, or 4.1 percent on an annualized basis, to $10.8 billion at September 30, 2025 from June 30, 2025 mostly due to repayment activity in a small sub-segment of loans made to the commodities industry during the third quarter 2025. Residential mortgage loans increased $85.4 million to $5.8 billion at September 30, 2025 from June 30, 2025 as new loan originations continued to outpace repayment activity. Total consumer loans increased $50.7 million to $4.0 billion at September 30, 2025 from June 30, 2025 mainly driven by home equity line usage and new originations and moderate upticks in the other customer loan categories. Loans held for sale decreased $10.0 million to $18.1 million at September 30, 2025 from June 30, 2025 primarily due to the sale of a $10.2 million non-performing construction loan to an unrelated party. The non-performing loan sale resulted in a $1.3 million loss recognized within net gains on sales of loans for the third quarter 2025.
Deposits. Actual ending balances for deposits increased $450.5 million to $51.2 billion at September 30, 2025 from June 30, 2025 mainly due to a $1.2 billion increase in savings, NOW and money market deposit balances, partially offset by a $616.8 million decrease in time deposits. The increase in savings, NOW and money market deposit balances from June 30, 2025 was largely due to deposit inflows from commercial customer and government deposit accounts. The decrease in time deposit balances was mainly driven by the repayment of maturing indirect customer CDs during the third quarter 2025. Total indirect customer deposits (consisting of brokered time and money market deposits) totaled $5.8 billion and $6.5 billion at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively. Non-interest bearing deposits were approximately $11.7 billion at both September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 and remained relatively stable across our customer base during the third quarter 2025. Non-interest bearing deposits; savings, NOW and money market deposits; and time deposits represented approximately 23 percent, 53 percent and 24 percent of total deposits as of September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to 23 percent, 52 percent and 25 percent of total deposits as of June 30, 2025, respectively.
Other Borrowings. Short-term borrowings decreased $111.2 million to $51.1 million at September 30, 2025 from June 30, 2025 largely due to the repayment of $100 million of maturing short-term FHLB advances. Long-term borrowings totaled $2.9 billion at September 30, 2025 and remained relatively unchanged as compared to June 30, 2025.
Credit Quality
Non-Performing Assets (NPAs). Total NPAs, consisting of non-accrual loans, other real estate owned (OREO) and other repossessed assets, increased $66.6 million to $427.3 million at September 30, 2025 as compared to June 30, 2025. Non-accrual loans increased $67.1 million to $421.5 million, or 0.86 percent of total loans at September 30, 2025 as compared to $354.4 million, or 0.72 percent of total loans, at June 30, 2025. The increase was mainly driven by one $35.0 million construction loan that migrated from the 30 to 59 days past due delinquency category at June 30, 2025 and two smaller non-performing CRE loans, partially offset by the sale of a $10.2 million non-performing construction loan classified as held for sale during the third quarter 2025.
Accruing Past Due Loans. Total accruing past due loans (i.e., loans past due 30 days or more and still accruing interest) decreased $114.4 million to $84.8 million, or 0.17 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2025 as compared to $199.2 million, or 0.40 percent of total loans, at June 30, 2025.
Loans 30 to 59 days past due decreased $59.4 million to $63.6 million at September 30, 2025 as compared to June 30, 2025 largely due to a $39.2 million CRE loan included in this early stage delinquency category at June 30, 2025 that was subsequently paid in full during July 2025 and the aforementioned $35.0 million construction loan that migrated from this past due category to non-accrual loans during the third quarter 2025.
Loans 60 to 89 days past due decreased $57.2 million to $16.2 million at September 30, 2025 as compared to June 30, 2025 mainly due to a $60.6 million CRE past due loan included in this delinquency category at June 30, 2025 that was subsequently modified and was brought current to its restructured terms during the third quarter 2025. Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest increased $2.1 million to $5.0 million at September 30, 2025 as compared to June 30, 2025. All loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest are well-secured and in the process of collection.
Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans and Unfunded Commitments. The following table summarizes the allocation of the allowance for credit losses to loan categories and the allocation as a percentage of each loan category at September 30, 2025, June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024:

Our loan portfolio, totaling $49.3 billion at September 30, 2025, had net loan charge-offs totaling $14.6 million for the third quarter 2025 as compared to $37.8 million and $42.9 million for the second quarter 2025 and the third quarter 2024, respectively. Gross loan charge-offs totaled $16.6 million for the third quarter 2025 and were largely driven by partial charge-offs within the CRE loan category related to four non-performing loan relationships.
The allowance for credit losses for loans, comprised of our allowance for loan losses and unfunded credit commitments, as a percentage of total loans was 1.21 percent at September 30, 2025, 1.20 percent at June 30, 2025, and 1.14 percent at September 30, 2024. For the third quarter 2025, the provision for credit losses for loans totaled $19.2 million as compared to $37.8 million and $75.0 million for the second quarter 2025 and third quarter 2024, respectively. The third quarter 2025 provision reflects, among other factors, moderate increases in both the economic forecast and non-economic qualitative reserve components of the allowance for credit losses and higher specific reserves associated with collateral dependent loans, partially offset by a decline in quantitative reserves in certain loan categories, including C&I and construction loans, at September 30, 2025.
Capital Adequacy
Valley's total risk-based capital, Tier 1 capital, common equity tier 1 capital, and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios were 13.83 percent, 11.72 percent, 11.00 percent and 9.52 percent, respectively, at September 30, 2025 as compared to 13.67 percent, 11.57 percent, 10.85 percent and 9.49 percent, respectively, at June 30, 2025. During the third quarter 2025, we repurchased 1.3 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $9.38 under our current stock repurchase plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased a total of 1.8 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $9.18 under this plan.

| VALLEY NATIONAL BANCORP CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS | ||
| NOTES TO SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA | ||
| (1) | Net interest income and net interest margin are presented on a tax equivalent basis using a 21 percent federal tax rate. Valley believes that this presentation provides comparability of net interest income and net interest margin arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice and SEC rules. | |
| (2) | Non-GAAP Reconciliations. This press release contains certain supplemental financial information, described in the Notes below, which has been determined by methods other than U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") that management uses in its analysis of Valley's performance. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to both management and investors in understanding Valley's underlying operational performance, business and performance trends, and may facilitate comparisons of our current and prior performance with the performance of others in the financial services industry. Management utilizes these measures for internal planning, forecasting and analysis purposes. Management believes that Valley's presentation and discussion of this supplemental information, together with the accompanying reconciliations to the GAAP financial measures, also allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to management. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may also be calculated differently from similar measures disclosed by other companies. | |
