FS Bancorp reported fourth‑quarter 2025 results, posting net income of $8.4 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, up 13.5% from $7.4 million ($0.92) in Q4 2024. The increase reflects a 4.8% rise in net loans receivable to $2.62 billion and disciplined expense management that kept operating costs in line with revenue growth.
Full‑year 2025 net income fell to $33.3 million, a 4.3% decline from $35.0 million in 2024, but tangible book value per share rose 10.1% to $39.65, driven by a 8.6% rise in book value and a 10.1% increase in tangible book value. The stronger capital base supports the company’s continued dividend policy.
The company raised its quarterly cash dividend by $0.01 to $0.29 per share, payable February 19 2026 to shareholders of record as of February 6 2026. The dividend hike follows a 52nd consecutive quarterly increase and signals management’s confidence in ongoing cash‑flow generation.
Earnings per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.13 by $0.03, a 2.4% shortfall. The miss was largely due to a 73% year‑over‑year jump in the provision for credit losses, driven by a $1.0 million charge related to a single commercial construction loan. Despite the miss, the year‑over‑year EPS growth underscores the bank’s ability to maintain profitability amid rising credit provisions.
Revenue for the quarter reached $40.01 million, up 12.0% from $35.72 million in the prior year, beating the consensus estimate of $38.65 million by $1.36 million. The revenue gain was supported by a 12% increase in interest income and a 5% rise in fee income, offsetting a modest decline in consumer loan balances.
Management highlighted continued focus on capital growth and shareholder returns. CEO Joe Adams said, “Our consistent operating performance and strong capital position continue to support meaningful returns to our shareholders.” The bank’s recent purchase of a 122,000‑square‑foot headquarters building for $16.1 million further demonstrates its long‑term investment strategy.
