In its first-quarter earnings report for 2025, Shore Bancshares reported a net income of $13.8 million, marking an increase from both the previous quarter and the same period last year. The company’s financial performance was bolstered by improved net interest income and a higher net interest margin.
Key financial highlights include an increase in net interest income to $46.0 million, a rise in net interest margin to 3.24%, and a return on average assets of 0.91%. The company also reported stable asset quality with nonperforming assets decreasing to 0.31% of total assets.
