Primis Financial Corp. Reports Strong Results for the Second Quarter of 2026
Primis Financial reported Q2 net income of $9.4 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, a significant increase from $2.4 million, or $0.10 per share, in the prior year. The growth was driven by a 34% rise in net interest income to $33.8 million and noninterest income gains, partially offset by a $5.5 million provision for credit losses largely tied to one nonaccrual credit.
Asset quality improved markedly during the quarter, with nonperforming assets decreasing 37% to $63 million and the allowance for NPAs increasing to 73%. The Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share, marking the fifty-ninth consecutive dividend payment.
Management announced that its core consolidation initiative is expected to deliver $6.1 million in annual earnings improvements, split between revenue and expense savings, starting in late 2026. Tangible book value per share rose 19.5% year-over-year to $13.72.
