HomeStreet, Inc. Reports Q2 2025 Financial Results

HomeStreet Inc ( (HMST) ) has released its Q2 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information HomeStreet Inc presented to its investors.

HomeStreet, Inc., headquartered in Seattle, Washington, operates as a diversified financial services company, primarily engaged in real estate lending, mortgage banking, and commercial and consumer banking across the Western United States and Hawaii. The company is the parent of HomeStreet Bank, a member of the FDIC and an Equal Housing Lender.

In its second quarter 2025 earnings report, HomeStreet, Inc. announced a net loss of $4.4 million, a slight improvement from the previous quarter’s loss of $4.5 million. The company highlighted progress in improving its net interest margin and reducing noninterest expenses, despite an increase in the provision for credit losses. The ongoing merger with Mechanics Bank is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025.

Key financial metrics from the report include a net interest margin increase to 1.90% from 1.82% in the previous quarter, and a reduction in noninterest expenses to $47.8 million. However, the provision for credit losses rose by $5.0 million, reflecting adverse credit migration in certain multifamily loans. HomeStreet also reported a decrease in total deposits, excluding brokered deposits, by $146 million, and a reduction in loans held for investment by $136 million.

Looking ahead, HomeStreet’s management projects a return to core profitability by the fourth quarter of 2025. The company anticipates growth in earnings due to scheduled repricing of multifamily and commercial real estate loans, reductions in higher-cost borrowings, and effective management of noninterest expenses. Additionally, due to a deferred tax asset valuation allowance, HomeStreet does not expect to recognize income tax expenses for the next few years.

Overall, HomeStreet, Inc. is focused on strategic improvements and operational efficiencies as it navigates the current financial landscape, with expectations of enhanced profitability in the near future.
