West Bancorporation, Inc. (Nasdaq: WTBA) announced today its third‑quarter 2025 financial results, reporting net income of $9.3 million, or $0.55 per diluted common share. This represents a 53% sequential increase over the second‑quarter 2025 net income of $8.0 million ($0.47 EPS) and a 65% year‑over‑year rise from $6.0 million ($0.35 EPS) in Q3 2024. For the first nine months of 2025, the company posted net income of $25.1 million, or $1.48 per diluted share, versus $17.0 million ($1.00 EPS) in the same period a year earlier.
On October 22, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.25 per common share. The dividend will be payable on November 19, 2025, to shareholders of record on November 5, 2025. The declaration follows the company’s strong earnings performance and aligns with its ongoing dividend policy.
CEO David Nelson highlighted that the third‑quarter results were driven by continued improvements in net interest income and net interest margin, while non‑interest expenses were managed prudently. He noted that the company had no loans on non‑accrual status and no loans past due greater than 30 days as of September 30, 2025, underscoring the strength of its credit quality. The earnings beat estimates and the dividend declaration reinforce West Bancorporation’s focus on relationship banking and margin expansion in a competitive regional market.
