“Excluding the one-time gain and the provision for credit losses associated with the FDIC Loan Purchase in the prior year quarter, net income and diluted EPS increased by 15.7% and 15.1%, respectively. We generated loan growth across certain commercial and industrial lending categories, single family warehouse and auto,” stated Greg Garrabrants, President and Chief Executive Officer of Axos. “Net interest margin of 4.83% in the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was well above our target. We reduced our interest-bearing deposit costs by 51 basis points from the linked quarter while maintaining our ending deposit balances flat. Strong expense management contributed to diluted EPS of $1.80.”

•Net interest margin was 4.83% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to 4.55% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023
•Net interest income was $280.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $292.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 Income Statement Summary
Net income was $104.7 million and diluted EPS was $1.80 for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to net income of $151.8 million and diluted EPS of $2.62 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Net interest income increased $51.5 million or 22.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to higher interest income on loans and interest-earnings deposits at other financial institutions, partially offset by higher interest expense on demand and savings deposits, reflecting higher deposit balances, partially offset by lower rates paid.
The provision for credit losses was $12.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $13.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The provision for credit losses for the three months ended December 31, 2024, was primarily due to the quantitative impact of macroeconomic variables in the allowance for credit losses model, primarily the U.S. unemployment rate and commercial real estate mortgage rates.
Non-interest income decreased to $27.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $124.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of the gain on the FDIC Loan Purchase in the prior year period, as well as decreases in mortgage banking and servicing rights income and lower broker-dealer fee income.
Non-interest expense, comprised of various operating expenses, increased $23.5 million to $145.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 from $121.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher salaries and related costs, higher professional services expenses and an increase in FDIC and regulatory fees.
Balance Sheet Summary
Axos’ total assets increased by $0.9 billion, or 3.7%, to $23.7 billion, at December 31, 2024, from $22.9 billion at June 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents and loans. Total liabilities increased by $0.6 billion, or 3.0%, to $21.2 billion at December 31, 2024, from $20.6 billion at June 30, 2024, primarily due to higher deposit balances. Stockholders’ equity increased by $231.4 million, or 10.1%, to $2.5 billion at December 31, 2024 from $2.3 billion at June 30, 2024, primarily due to net income of $217.0 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:

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.
Below is a reconciliation of total stockholders’ equity, the nearest comparable GAAP measure, to tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) as of the dates indicated:

Tangible book value is calculated using common stockholders’ equity minus servicing rights, goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP financial measure, 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.

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 report 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 costs and other costs (unusual or non-recurring charges). Adjusted earnings per diluted common share (“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 the Company’s operating performance. We believe excluding the non-recurring acquisition related costs and other costs (unusual or non-recurring) 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:
