In parallel, we've improved our efficiency ratio by an impressive 25%, moving from 74.43% in 2021 to 55.45% this quarter-a clear indicator of operational discipline. Additionally, our return on assets has increased 150% in this short period of time, climbing from 0.55% in 2021 to 1.38% in the current quarter – another milestone that underscores the steep and steady trajectory of our profitability.
“With a team that continues to execute at a high level and a track record of outperforming our peers, we believe Third Coast is well positioned to remain in the top tier of bank performers. Backed by a strong Texas-based franchise and a scalable platform-demonstrated by our successful securitizations this quarter-Third Coast intends to thrive in a consolidating industry while continuing to attract long-term investors.”
Operating Results
Net Income and Earnings Per Share
Net income totaled $16.7 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $13.6 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $10.8 million for the second quarter of 2024. Net income available to common shareholders totaled $15.6 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $12.4 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $9.6 million for the second quarter of 2024. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to an increase in net interest income, resulting from an increase in loans, a portion of which were securitized, and the purchase of associated securities resulted in an increase in investment yields during the second quarter of 2025. Dividends on our Series A Convertible Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) totaled $1.2 million for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025.
Basic and diluted earnings per share were $1.12 per share and $0.96 per share, respectively, in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $0.90 per share and $0.78 per share, respectively, in the first quarter of 2025 and $0.70 per share and $0.63 per share, respectively, in the second quarter of 2024.
Net Interest Margin and Net Interest Income
The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2025 was 4.22%, compared to 3.80% for the first quarter of 2025 and 3.62% for the second quarter of 2024. The yield on loans for the second quarter of 2025 was 7.95%, compared to 7.45% for the first quarter of 2025 and 6.07% for the second quarter of 2024. The cost of interest-bearing deposits for the second quarter of 2025 was 4.00%, compared to 4.02% for the first quarter of 2025 and 4.76% for the second quarter of 2024.
Net interest income totaled $49.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 15.4% from $42.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 and an increase of 27.1% from $38.9 million for the second quarter of 2024. Interest income totaled $88.7 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 9.8% from $80.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 and an increase of 9.2% from $81.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. The quarter-over-quarter increase in interest income resulted from an increase in loans, a portion of which were securitized, and the purchase of associated securities resulted in an increase in investment yields during the second quarter of 2025. Interest expense was $39.3 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $1.3 million, or 3.5%, from $38.0 million for the first quarter of 2025 and a decrease of $3.1 million, or 7.3%, from $42.4 million for the second quarter of 2024.
Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense
Noninterest income totaled $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in other noninterest income was primarily due to changes in the first quarter valuation estimates of other real estate owned during the second quarter of 2025.
Noninterest expense increased to $28.8 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $28.1 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $25.6 million for the second quarter of 2024. The quarter-over-quarter increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to increased legal and professional expenses related to the securitization of loans and increased other expenses due to higher letter of credit costs during the second quarter of 2025. At June 30, 2025, the number of employees was 388, compared to 383 at March 31, 2025.
The efficiency ratio was 55.45% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 61.23% for the first quarter of 2025 and 61.39% for the second quarter of 2024.
Balance Sheet Highlights
Loan Portfolio and Composition
For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, gross loans increased to $4.08 billion, an increase of $91.7 million, or 2.3%, from $3.99 billion as of March 31, 2025, and an increase of $321.6 million, or 8.6%, from $3.76 billion as of June 30, 2024. Commercial and industrial loans accounted for the majority of the loan growth for the second quarter of 2025, offset by slight decreases in real estate loans from the first quarter of 2025.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming loans at June 30, 2025 were $20.1 million, compared to $18.6 million at March 31, 2025 and $24.4 million at June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, the nonperforming loans to total loans ratio was 0.49%, compared to 0.47% as of March 31, 2025 and 0.65% as of June 30, 2024. The increase in nonperforming loans during the second quarter of 2025 was primarily due to several factors. Loans greater than 90 days past due and still accruing increased by $5.2 million, primarily due to one commercial loan with a net book value of $4.2 million. This increase was partially offset by a decline in nonaccrual loans of $3.7 million, which was primarily attributed to the payoff of a $2.0 million loan and approximately $800,000 in loans placed back on accrual.
The provision for credit loss recorded for the second quarter of 2025 was $2.1 million, and the allowance for credit losses of $40.0 million represented 0.98% of the $4.08 billion in gross loans outstanding as of June 30, 2025. The provision for credit loss recorded for the first quarter of 2025 was $450,000, and the allowance for credit losses of $40.5 million represented 1.01% of the $3.99 billion in gross loans outstanding as of March 31, 2025. The increase in the provision for credit loss recorded in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to the charge-off of a factoring receivable facility.
The Company recorded net charge-offs of $2.4 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
Deposits and Composition
Deposits totaled $4.28 billion as of June 30, 2025, an increase of 0.8% from $4.25 billion as of March 31, 2025, and an increase of 11.0% from $3.86 billion as of June 30, 2024. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased from $448.5 million as of March 31, 2025, to $441.0 million as of June 30, 2025 and represented 10.3% of total deposits as of June 30, 2025, compared to 10.6% of total deposits as of March 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, time deposits increased $130.7 million, or 20.1%, partially offset by a decrease in interest-bearing demand deposits of $89.1 million, or 2.9%, and a decrease in savings accounts of $1.7 million, or 6.7%, respectively, from March 31, 2025.
The average cost of deposits was 3.59% for the second quarter of 2025, representing a 1-basis point decrease from the first quarter of 2025 and a 63-basis point decrease from the second quarter of 2024. The decreases were due to the reduction in rates paid on interest-bearing demand deposits.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Tangible Common Equity, Tangible Book Value Per Share, Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets and Return on Average Tangible Common Equity, which are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the table titled “GAAP Reconciliation and Management's Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures.
Third Coast Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary GAAP Reconciliation and Management's Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (unaudited)
Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, we also evaluate our performance based on certain additional financial measures discussed in this earnings release as being non-GAAP financial measures. Specifically, we review Tangible Common Equity, Tangible Book Value Per Share, Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets, and Return on Average Tangible Common Equity for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We classify a financial measure as a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are not included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the United States in our statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and other statistical measures or ratios, or statistical measures calculated using exclusively financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this earnings release should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this earnings release may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. It is important to understand how other banking organizations calculate their financial measures with names similar to the non-GAAP financial measures we have discussed in this earnings release when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.
Management believes the following non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in understanding the financial condition of the company:
— Tangible Common Equity. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible common equity is total shareholders' equity. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period of tangible common equity.
— Tangible Book Value Per Share. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible book value per share is book value per share. We believe that the tangible book value per share measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing our tangible book value.
— Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible common equity is total shareholders' equity, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible assets is total assets, and the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible common equity to tangible assets is total shareholders' equity to total assets. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period of tangible common equity to tangible assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing both total shareholders' equity and assets while not increasing our tangible common equity or tangible assets.
— Return on Average Tangible Common Equity. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for average tangible common equity is average shareholders' equity, and the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for return on average tangible common equity is return on average common equity. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period of return on average tangible common equity, exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing average shareholders' equity while not increasing our tangible common equity.
The calculations of these non-GAAP financial measures are as follows:
