Blue Ridge Bankshares Inc. (BRBS-4.55%) has filed its 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

The filing reports a net loss of $15.4 million for the year, compared to a net loss of $51.8 million in 2023. The reduction in net loss is attributed to lower noninterest expenses and a recovery of credit losses.

Total assets decreased to $2.74 billion from $3.12 billion at the end of 2023, primarily due to a reduction in loans held for investment and cash surrender of bank-owned life insurance policies.

Net interest income for the year was $78.7 million, down from $93.0 million in the previous year, primarily due to lower average loan balances and higher interest expenses on deposits.

The company reported a recovery of credit losses of $5.1 million, compared to a provision for credit losses of $22.3 million in 2023. This recovery was largely due to the sale of a nonperforming loan.

Noninterest income decreased significantly to $13.6 million from $28.4 million in 2023, primarily due to a negative fair value adjustment on an equity investment and lower gains on the sale of government-guaranteed loans.

Noninterest expenses totaled $113.8 million, a decrease from $157.9 million in 2023. This decrease was largely due to the absence of a goodwill impairment charge and lower regulatory remediation expenses.

The company's total deposits decreased by $386.6 million to $2.18 billion, primarily due to the exit from fintech banking-as-a-service operations.

The filing details the company's capital ratios, which exceed the minimum requirements set forth in a Consent Order issued by the OCC. The company is required to maintain a leverage ratio of 10.0% and a total capital ratio of 13.0%.

The company completed private placements in 2024, issuing and converting shares of common and preferred stock, resulting in net proceeds of $152.1 million, which are intended to support strategic initiatives and enhance capital levels.
