About this update from International Bancshares Corporation
[{"type":"text","content":" LAREDO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nInternational Bancshares Corporation (NASDAQ:IBOC), one of the largest independent bank holding companies in Texas, today reported net income for the first quarter of 2025 of approximately $96.9 million or $1.56 diluted earnings per common share ($1.56 per share basic) compared to approximately $97.3 million or $1.56 diluted earnings per common share ($1.57 per share basic), which represents no change in diluted earnings per share and 0.5% decrease in net income over the corresponding period in 2024.\n\nNet income for the first quarter of 2025 continues to be positively impacted by an increase in interest income earned on our investment and loan portfolios driven primarily by both an increase in the size of our investment and loan portfolios and the current rate environment, which remains elevated as a result of Federal Reserve Board actions to raise interest rates in recent years.

As we have done in the past, we will remain focused and vigilant on delivering superior customer service, continued execution of our long-standing practices of balance sheet, asset, liability and liquidity management, and strong cost controls, while evaluating processes for efficiencies across our organization. We believe that with continued focus on these established practices supported by new initiatives, we will continue to deliver industry-leading financial results, especially in light of the current economic uncertainty in the United States and across world markets,” said Dennis E. Nixon, president and CEO.\n\nTotal assets at March 31, 2025 were approximately $16.3 billion compared to approximately $15.7 billion at Dec. 31, 2024. Total net loans were approximately $8.9 billion at March 31, 2025 compared to approximately $8.7 bi...
