Analysis · AMAL · Finance
Amalgamated Financial Corp. reported a mixed first quarter, with net income and diluted EPS showing slight year-over-year increases. However, the quarter was significantly impacted by a substantial increase in nonperforming assets, primarily due to a $71.5 million increase in nonaccrual multifamily loans to a single borrower. This led to a sharp rise in the provision for credit losses, which jumped to $13.5 million from $0.6 million in the prior year. While net interest income improved and capital ratios remain strong, the deterioration in asset quality, concentrated in a single loan, presents a notable concern for investors. The company maintains adequate liquidity and continues its share repurchase program.
