The company is primarily focused on the banking sector and is known for its community banking model.

In its latest earnings report for the second quarter of 2025, Blue Ridge Bankshares announced a net income of $1.3 million, marking a significant turnaround from the previous quarter’s net loss of $0.4 million and the $11.4 million loss in the same quarter last year. This improvement highlights the company’s progress in achieving profitability and addressing regulatory issues.

Key financial metrics showed positive trends, with net interest income increasing to $19.8 million from $19.0 million in the previous quarter, driven by a reduction in deposit costs. The company’s net interest margin improved to 3.15%. Additionally, noninterest expenses decreased by $1.0 million, reflecting cost-saving measures and headcount reductions. The sale of Monarch Mortgage, despite a small loss, was completed, contributing to the company’s strategic focus on core banking activities.

Looking ahead, Blue Ridge Bankshares is optimistic about its future, with management focusing on growing its community banking operations and further reducing noninterest expenses. The company aims to achieve an annualized run rate of noninterest expense to assets of less than 3% by the fourth quarter of this year, signaling a commitment to operational efficiency and sustainable growth.
