-
Credit Quality Deterioration
Non-performing loans edged up to $8.7 million (0.80% of total loans) from $7.8 million in the prior quarter, while classified assets more than doubled to $29.9 million from $12.7 million, primarily due to three relationship downgrades.

Analysis · RVSB · Finance
A sharp turnaround to net income of $1.7 million, or $0.08 per share, marked Riverview Bancorp's fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2026, reversing a net loss of $8.0 million in the prior quarter. The rebound was fueled by a strategic balance sheet optimization that lifted net interest margin to 3.34% from 2.92%. Credit quality, however, showed some deterioration: non-performing loans rose to $8.7 million (0.80% of total loans) and classified assets more than doubled to $29.9 million. The bank maintained strong capital ratios and continued its share repurchase program, with $1.6 million remaining under the $4.0 million authorization. This earnings release provides the first concrete evidence that the balance sheet restructuring is delivering improved profitability, but the uptick in problem assets warrants monitoring.
