What the filing says
Ameris reported Q2 2026 net income of $51.4M ($0.77/share) vs. $109.8M ($1.60/share) YoY, driven by an $82.5M litigation accrual related to a California employment jury verdict. Adjusted net income was $107.3M ($1.60/share), essentially flat YoY. Core metrics remained stable: adjusted ROA 1.53%, adjusted ROTCE 14.08%, net interest margin 3.88%, and adjusted efficiency ratio 50.42%. Assets grew to $28.5B; loans increased $349.9M (6.4% annualized); noninterest-bearing deposits improved to 30% of total. Tangible book value per share grew $0.31 to $45.10. The company repurchased 226,600 shares ($19M) in the quarter.
Why this rating
One-time $82.5M litigation charge (~2% of $4.2B market cap) overshadows solid adjusted operating performance. Material but non-recurring; underlying business metrics stable and positive.
