Live Oak Bancshares, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2026 Results

WILMINGTON, NC, April 22, 2026 - Live Oak Bancshares, Inc. (NYSE: LOB) (“Live Oak” or “the Company”) today reported first quarter of 2026 net income attributable to common shareholders of $27.9 million, or $0.60 per diluted common share.

Live Oak’s performance in the quarter, compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 and first quarter of 2025, includes these notable items:

•Strong loan production of $1.37 billion accompanied by strong deposit growth of $146.4 million in the first quarter of 2026, with total assets growing by 1.1% and 12.5% to $15.30 billion compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 and first quarter of 2025, respectively

•Net interest income decreased 3.0% and increased 18.8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 and first quarter of 2025, respectively. Net interest margin decreased 11 basis points during the first quarter of 2026 from 3.38% for the fourth quarter of 2025 to 3.27% and increased 7 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2025

•Revenue (comprised of net interest income and noninterest income) decreased 15.9% and increased 18.4% compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 and first quarter of 2025, respectively, and noninterest expense decreased 4.3% and increased 5.6% compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 and first quarter of 2025, respectively, which generated a 28.1% decrease and 43.0% increase in pre-provision net revenue1 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 and first quarter of 2025, respectively. The decrease in revenue and pre-provision net revenue1 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 is largely related to a $24.1 million pre-tax gain related to the sale of Apiture, Inc. and $9.0 million gain arising from the sale of a portfolio investment in the fourth quarter of 2025

•Provision expense for credit losses of $20.1 million for the first quarter of 2026, decreased $1.7 million and $8.9 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 and first quarter of 2025, respectively

“We are pleased with the momentum we’ve carried into 2026. Our first quarter results reflect the strength of our differentiated model and our commitment to serving America’s small business owners,” said Live Oak Chairman and CEO James S. (Chip) Mahan III. “We delivered strong loan production, deposit growth, and stable credit performance during the quarter. We remain focused on our key initiatives, Live Oak Express and business checking, in addition to balance sheet strength and prudent capital management. We believe we are well positioned to support our customers, manage through a dynamic environment, and continue building long-term value for shareholders.”
