The company's net interest income rose to $28.4 million, a 15.4% increase compared to $24.6 million in the first quarter of 2025, driven by higher interest income from loans and securities. The return on assets was 1.44%, while the return on equity stood at 12.95%, reflecting a solid performance in profitability metrics.
In terms of financial position, total assets remained stable at $3.35 billion as of March 31, 2026, compared to $3.35 billion at the end of 2025. Loans held for investment (HFI) increased slightly to $2.25 billion, up from $2.25 billion at the end of the previous year. However, total deposits decreased by $17.5 million, or 0.6%, to $2.95 billion, primarily due to seasonal outflows from public entity customers. The company’s stockholders’ equity increased by $8.2 million to $373.3 million, supported by retained earnings and stock compensation.
Operationally, Red River Bancshares is focused on expanding its market presence in Louisiana, with ongoing construction projects aimed at relocating and enhancing banking centers in key markets. The company has also initiated a stock repurchase program, allowing for the purchase of up to $10 million of its common stock throughout 2026, although no shares were repurchased in the first quarter. Additionally, the bank has been recognized for its strong deposit franchise, ranking 42nd among the top 50 deposit franchises for banks with assets between $3 billion and $10 billion.
The company’s allowance for credit losses (ACL) increased to $24.1 million, or 1.07% of loans HFI, reflecting a proactive approach to managing credit risk amid economic uncertainties. Nonperforming assets (NPAs) rose to $4.3 million, representing 0.13% of total assets, attributed to an increase in nonaccrual loans. The bank continues to monitor its asset quality closely, with no loans classified as doubtful or loss as of the reporting date.
Looking ahead, Red River Bancshares anticipates continued growth in net interest income and margin, supported by a favorable interest rate environment and strategic loan origination efforts. The company remains committed to enhancing shareholder value through its expansion initiatives and prudent financial management practices.
