“We generated over $700 million in net loan growth, the strongest quarter so far in fiscal year 2025.” stated Greg Garrabrants, President and Chief Executive Officer of Axos. “Continued growth in our asset-based lending, lender finance and equipment leasing businesses and improved production and net attrition from our single-family mortgage and multifamily lending businesses contributed to this quarter’s solid loan growth. Our credit quality remains good, with non-performing and non-accrual loans declining on an absolute basis and as a percentage of total assets and loans, respectively, compared to the linked quarter. We deployed some of our excess capital and repurchased approximately $28 million of common stock in the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and an additional $30 million of common stock from April 1, 2025 to April 30, 2025.”

Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Income Statement Summary
Net income was $105.2 million and diluted EPS was $1.81 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to net income of $110.7 million and diluted EPS of $1.91 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net interest income increased $13.9 million or 5.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to lower rates paid on deposit balances.
The provision for credit losses was $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily driven by the Commercial & Industrial - Non-RE portfolio, reflecting loan growth, as well as the quantitative impact of macroeconomic variables in the allowance for credit losses model.
Non-interest income increased to $33.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $33.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher banking and service fees, partially offset by lower mortgage banking and servicing rights income and lower prepayment penalty fee income.
Non-interest expense, comprised of various operating expenses, increased $13.0 million to $146.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $133.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher salaries and related costs, higher data and operational processing expense and higher FDIC and regulatory fees.
Balance Sheet Summary
Axos’ total assets increased by $1.1 billion, or 4.9%, to $24.0 billion, at March 31, 2025, from $22.9 billion at June 30, 2024, primarily attributable to an increase in loans. Total liabilities increased by $0.8 billion, or 4.0%, to $21.4 billion at March 31, 2025, from $20.6 billion at June 30, 2024, primarily attributable to higher deposit balances. Stockholders’ equity increased $313.3 million, or 13.7%, to $2.6 billion at March 31, 2025 from $2.3 billion at June 30, 2024, primarily due to net income of $322.2 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), this release includes non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted common share, and tangible book value per common share. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not audited. Readers should be aware of these limitations and should be cautious as to their reliance on such measures. Although we believe the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this release enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for GAAP basis financial measures.
We define “adjusted earnings”, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income without the after-tax impact of non-recurring acquisition-related items (including amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions) and other costs (unusual or non-recurring charges). Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by dividing non-GAAP adjusted earnings by the average number of diluted common shares outstanding during the period. We believe the non-GAAP measures of adjusted earnings and Adjusted EPS provide useful information about Axos’ operating performance. We believe excluding the non-recurring acquisition-related costs and other costs provides investors with an alternative understanding of Axos’ core business.
Below is a reconciliation of net income, the nearest comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS (Non-GAAP) for the periods shown:

1 Other costs primarily reflects the payment of a legal judgment at an amount less than previously accrued.
We define “tangible book value”, a non-GAAP financial measure, as book value adjusted for goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible book value is calculated using common stockholders’ equity minus servicing rights, goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible book value per common share is calculated by dividing tangible book value by the common shares outstanding at the end of the period. We believe tangible book value per common share is useful in evaluating the Company’s capital strength, financial condition, and ability to manage potential losses.
