Community West Bancshares ( (CWBC) ) has provided an announcement.
Community West Bancshares reported unaudited consolidated net income of $11.17 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, up sharply from $6.90 million, or $0.36 per share, a year earlier, supported by higher net interest income, improving net interest margin and disciplined credit provisioning. The company grew gross loans by 3.66% quarter-over-quarter and 8.85% year-to-date, increased deposits while holding the cost of deposits steady, and delivered stronger returns on assets and equity alongside robust capital ratios, while its board declared a $0.12 per-share cash dividend payable on February 20, 2026 to shareholders of record on February 6, 2026. Against this backdrop, Community West highlighted its December 17, 2025 definitive merger agreement with United Security Bancshares, which is expected to create a roughly $5 billion-asset institution and further entrench its Central California presence, suggesting a meaningful step-up in scale and market positioning for clients, employees and shareholders.
