CEO John Bordelon Announces Planned Leadership Transition for 2027
Chairman and CEO John Bordelon will retire as chief executive in January 2027, with President Darren Guidry stepping into the role after more than three decades at the bank.
“When we named Darren President in July, we said we were putting in place a leadership structure to sustain our next phase of growth, and this is the next step in that plan.”
Credit Expense Pressures Net Income Despite Core Revenue Resilience
Higher foreclosed asset costs and interest reversals on nonaccrual loans squeezed quarterly net income, though net interest income reached a record high with a low total deposit cost of 1.7%.
“Our results were impacted by higher credit-related costs, including elevated foreclosed asset expense and the reversal of interest on loans moved to nonaccrual status. The quarter did demonstrate the resilience of our core earnings.”
Expanding Loan Pipeline Positions Bank for Near-Term Activity
The loan pipeline reached $440 million, with $132 million in committed loans expected to close by early 2027, focusing on commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate.
“The pipeline is well diversified across our markets and loan types and consists primarily of smaller business banking credits with a heavy focus on C&I owner-occupied commercial real estate, along with a few larger commercial relationships.”
The short version
Home Bancorp's CEO John Bordelon will retire in January 2027, with President Darren Guidry taking over, while credit expenses and loan pipeline growth support long-term value.
