First Busey Corporation reported significant financial growth in its latest quarterly filing for the period ending June 30, 2025. The company achieved a net income of $47.4 million, a 73.5% increase from $27.4 million in the same quarter of the previous year. For the first half of 2025, net income available to common stockholders was $17.3 million, down from $53.6 million in the prior year, primarily due to substantial acquisition-related expenses. Total interest income surged to $247.4 million, up 87.6% from $131.9 million year-over-year, driven by a significant increase in portfolio loans and interest-earning assets.

The company’s total assets grew by 57% to $18.92 billion, compared to $12.05 billion at the end of 2024, largely attributed to the acquisition of CrossFirst Bank, which was finalized on March 1, 2025. This acquisition added approximately $6 billion in loans to Busey’s portfolio, which reached $13.81 billion as of June 30, 2025, reflecting a 79% increase from the previous period. The allowance for credit losses (ACL) also increased significantly to $183.3 million, up 119.8% from $83.4 million, reflecting the growth in the loan portfolio and the associated credit risk.

Operationally, Busey expanded its footprint with the integration of CrossFirst Bank, which added 16 banking centers across multiple states, enhancing its market presence in the Midwest, Southwest, and Florida. The company reported a total of 78 banking centers as of June 30, 2025. The workforce also grew, with an increase of 430 full-time equivalent associates, primarily due to the CrossFirst acquisition. The company’s core deposits represented 92.5% of total deposits, which increased by 58.3% to $15.80 billion, indicating a strong customer base and funding stability.

Looking ahead, Busey anticipates realizing annual pre-tax expense synergies of approximately $25 million from the CrossFirst acquisition, with expectations of achieving 50% of these synergies in 2025 and full realization in 2026. The company remains focused on maintaining a conservative banking strategy, emphasizing credit quality and prudent underwriting practices. Despite the challenges posed by economic uncertainties, Busey is well-positioned to leverage its expanded capabilities and market presence to drive future growth.
