What the filing says
Blue Ridge Bankshares reported a net loss of $4.2 million ($0.05 per diluted share) for Q3 2026 vs. net income of $5.6 million ($0.06 per share) in Q3 2025. The loss was driven by an $8.5 million provision for credit losses on a single out-of-market hydroponic farming loan ($9.9 million charge-off) and $1.2 million in merger-related expenses. The company redeemed its remaining $14.7 million subordinated notes in July 2026. On August 17, 2026, BRBS and HomeTrust Bancshares announced a definitive merger agreement; the merger is expected to close in Q1 2027, pending regulatory and shareholder approvals. Adjusted pre-tax earnings (excluding merger and severance costs) improved 85% sequentially to $5.3 million from $2.9 million, reflecting higher loan yields (5.64% vs. 5.54%) and improved net interest margin (3.08% vs. 2.91%).
Why this rating
