Axos Financial reports Q2 adjusted EPS $1.82, consensus $1.74

“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.”
