The company now
WaFd, Inc. reported net income of $256 million for the fiscal year ended 30 September 2026, up 13 percent from $226 million a year earlier 1. Earnings per diluted common share were $3.21, a 22 percent increase on a year earlier 1.
The fourth quarter earned $59,991,000, down 9 percent from the June quarter 1. It carried a $36 million charge-off, the loss a bank books when a loan is written off, after a $53 million loan relationship was resolved 1.
The larger event is a merger: on 6 September 2026 WaFd agreed to combine with EverBank Financial Corp, a Jacksonville, Florida bank holding company owned by private investors 34. After closing, EverBank's owners would hold about 59.175 percent of WaFd's common stock and WaFd's own shareholders about 40.825 percent 3.
WaFd would be renamed EverBank Financial Corp and trade as EVBK, and EverBank would be the accounting acquirer, the side treated as the buyer in the books 2. Chief executive Brent Beardall said WaFd's deposits and commercial real estate lending complement EverBank's online consumer bank and commercial lending 2.
The companies expect closing in early 2027, after WaFd shareholders vote and the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency approve 23. A preliminary proxy statement dated 22 October 2026 left the meeting's record date blank 4.
