BayCom Corp Reports 2025 Second Quarter Earnings of $6.4 Million
BayCom Corp ('BayCom' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: BCML), the holding company for United Business Bank (the 'Bank' or 'UBB'), announced earnings of $6.4 million, or $0.58 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2025, compared to earnings of $5.7 million, or $0.51 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2025 and $5.6 million, or $0.50 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2024. Net income for the second quarter of 2025 increased $662,000, or 11.6%, compared to the first quarter of 2025. This increase was primarily the result of a $439,000 decrease in provision for credit losses, a $280,000 increase in net interest income, a $235,000 decrease in noninterest expense, and a $73,000 increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a $365,000 increase in provision for income taxes. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, net income for the second quarter of 2025 increased $764,000, or 13.6%, primarily as a result of an $865,000 increase in net interest income, a $258,000 decrease in noninterest expense, and a $30,000 increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a $357,000 increase in provision for income taxes and a $32,000 increase in provision for credit losses. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $589,000, or 5.1%, compared to the same period in 2024 primarily as a result of a $1.4 million increase in net interest income and a $340,000 decrease in noninterest expense, partially offset by a $592,000 decrease in noninterest income, a $422,000 increase in provision for credit losses, and a $75,000 increase in provision for income taxes. George Guarini, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, 'Our financial results for the second quarter of 2025 continued a positive trend, supported by new lending activity and deposit growth. In addition, our key financial metrics remain strong and show continued improvement. Overall, our financial condition remains resilient, and we have not observed any signs of systemic credit weakness.' Looking ahead, Guarini expressed cautious optimism, stating, "We recognize the potential for economic conditions to deteriorate. In response, we remain focused on managing operating expenses, maintaining strong credit discipline, and closely monitoring the quality of our new loan originations.' He concluded, 'We remain committed to the strategic repurchase of shares and the payment of cash dividends, reinforcing our dedication to delivering long-term value to both our clients and shareholders.' Second Quarter Performance Highlights: Annualized net interest margin was 3.77% for the current quarter, compared to 3.83% for the preceding quarter and 3.69% for the same quarter a year ago. Annualized return on average assets was 0.98% for current quarter, compared to 0.89% for the preceding quarter and 0.87% for the same quarter a year ago. Total assets remained steady at $2.6 billion at June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024. Loans, net of deferred fees, totaled $2.0 billion at both June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, and $1.9 billion at June 30, 2024. Nonperforming loans totaled $16.4 million or 0.82% of total loans, at June 30, 2025, compared to $10.0 million or 0.51% of total loans, at March 31, 2025, and $16.1 million, or 0.87% of total loans, at June 30, 2024. The allowance for credit losses for loans totaled $18.7 million, or 0.93% of total loans outstanding, at June 30, 2025, compared to $18.5 million, or 0.94% of total loans outstanding, at March 31, 2025, and $19.0 million, or 1.02% of total loans outstanding, at June 30, 2024. A $203,000 provision for credit losses was recorded during the current quarter, compared to a $642,000 provision for credit losses in the prior quarter and a $171,000 provision for credit losses in the same quarter a year ago. Deposits totaled $2.2 billion at June 30, 2025, compared to $2.1 billion at March 31, 2025 and $2.2 billion at June 30, 2024. At June 30, 2025, noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $616.1 million, or 28.2% of total deposits, compared to $589.5 million, or 27.7% of total deposits, at March 31, 2025, and $618.6 million, or 28.4% of total deposits, at June 30, 2024. The Company repurchased 148,450 shares of common stock at an average cost of $25.88 per share during the second quarter of 2025, compared to 50,793 shares of common stock repurchased at an average cost of $25.82 per share during the first quarter of 2025, and 204,794 shares of common stock repurchased at an average cost of $20.17 per share during the second quarter of 2024. On May 21, 2025, the Company announced the declaration of a cash dividend on the Company's common stock of $0.20 per share, which was paid on July 10, 2025 to shareholders of record as of June 12, 2025. The Bank remained a 'well-capitalized' institution for regulatory capital purposes at June 30, 2025. Earnings Net interest income increased $280,000, or 1.2%, to $23.2 million for the second quarter of 2025 from $22.9 million for the prior quarter, and increased $865,000, or 3.9%, from $22.3 million for the same quarter a year ago. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily driven by an increase in interest income on loans, including fees, and to a lesser extent an increase in interest income on fed funds sold and interest-bearing balances in banks. These increases were partially offset by an increase in interest expense on deposits and a decrease in interest income on investment securities. The increase in net interest income compared to the same quarter in 2024 primarily reflects increases in interest income on loans and investment securities. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in interest income on fed funds sold and interest-bearing balances in banks, as well as higher interest expense on deposits. Average interest-earning assets increased $38.6 million, or 1.6%, compared to the first quarter of 2025, and $33.7 million, or 1.4%, compared to the second quarter of 2024. The average yield earned (annualized) on interest earning assets for the second quarter of 2025 was 5.45%, down from 5.46% for the first quarter of 2025 and up from 5.37% for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease from the prior quarter reflects decreased yield on interest-bearing balances in banks. This increase from the second quarter of 2024 reflects the repricing of adjustable-rate loans and securities to higher rates, as well as the origination of new loans at higher rates. The average rate paid (annualized) on interest-bearing liabilities increased to 2.54% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 2.49% for the prior quarter, and was unchanged from 2.54% for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in liability costs was due to higher cost of premium money market interest-bearing deposits during the second quarter of 2025 as compared to the first quarter of 2025. As interest-bearing liabilities tend to have shorter durations, they generally reprice or reset faster than interest-earning assets. Interest income on loans, including fees, increased $813,000, or 3.0%, to $28.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $27.1 million for the prior quarter, due to a $39.5 million increase in the average balance of loans, partially offset by a one basis point decrease in the average loan yield. Interest income on loans, including fees, increased $2.9 million, or 11.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $25.0 million for three months ended June 30, 2024, due to a $133.4 million increase in the average balance of loans and a 22 basis point increase in the average loan yield. The average balance of loans was $2.0 billion for the second and first quarters of 2025, compared to $1.9 billion for the second quarter of 2024. The average yield on loans was 5.63% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 5.64% for the first quarter of 2025 and 5.41% for the second quarter of 2024. Interest income on loans included $110,000 in accretion of the net discount on acquired loans for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $215,000 and $124,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Accretion of the net discount had minimal to no impact on the average yield on loans during the reported periods. The balance of the net discounts on these acquired loans totaled $319,000, $223,000, and $540,000 at June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025, and June 30, 2024, respectively. Interest income included fees related to prepayment penalties of $109,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $162,000 and $70,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Interest income on investment securities decreased $47,000, or 2.0%, and was $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and increased $225,000, or 10.3%, from $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The average yield on investment securities decreased five basis points to 4.68% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 4.73% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and increased 18 basis points from 4.50% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in the average yield from the prior quarter was due to paydowns and calls on higher variable-rate securities. The increase in the average yield from the same quarter a year ago was due to higher market interest rates on newly purchased securities and rate resets on variable rate investment securities. The average balance of investment securities totaled $206.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $210.2 million and $195.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. In addition, during the second quarter of 2025, we received $392,000 in cash dividends on our FRB and FHLB stock, compared to $393,000 in the first quarter of 2025 and $395,000 in the second quarter of 2024. Interest income on federal funds sold and interest-bearing balances in banks increased $44,000, or 1.7%, to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and decreased $2.1 million, or 44.1%, from $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as a result of changes in the average yield and average balance. The average yield on federal funds sold and interest-bearing balances in banks decreased two basis points to 4.45% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 4.47% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and decreased 102 basis points from 5.47% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in the average yield was due to a lowering of the Federal Reserve rates during 2024. The average balance of federal funds sold and interest-bearing balance in banks totaled $242.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $240.3 million and $354.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Interest expense increased $527,000, or 5.4%, to $10.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and increased $611,000, or 3.1%, compared to $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase from the prior quarter reflects higher average balances and funding costs on money market accounts. The increase from the same quarter of 2024 was due to higher deposit rates, reflecting increased market rates and competitive pricing pressures. The average balance of deposits totaled $2.2 billion for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $2.1 billion for both the first quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2024. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the second quarter of 2025 was 2.54%, up from to 2.49% for the first quarter of 2025 and unchanged from second quarter of 2024. The increase from the prior quarter was due to higher rates paid on money market deposits. Compared to the same quarter last year, the increase also reflects higher rates on money market and time deposits, competitive pricing pressures, and a shift in deposit mix from noninterest-bearing to higher-costing accounts. The average cost of deposits (including noninterest-bearing deposits) for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was 1.71%, up from 1.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 1.69% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The average balance of noninterest-bearing deposits increased $1.2 million, or 0.2%, to $604.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $603.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and decreased $15.5 million, or 2.5%, compared to $620.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Annualized net interest margin was 3.77% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 3.83% for the first quarter of 2025 and 3.69% for the second quarter of 2024. The average yield on interest-earning assets for the second quarter of 2025 decreased by one basis point from the prior quarter and increased eight basis points from the second quarter of 2024. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased five basis points from the first quarter of 2025 and remained unchanged compared to the second quarter of 2024. The decline in net interest margin from the prior quarter reflects higher funding costs, particularly on money market and time deposits, which more than offset the modest decline in asset yields. Compared to the same quarter last year, the increase in net interest margin was primarily driven by higher yields on loans and investment securities, reflecting the ongoing benefit of asset repricing in a higher rate environment. For the second quarter of 2025, the average yield on loans increased to 5.63%, while the average yield on investment securities rose to 4.68%, both contributing to the year-over-year improvement in asset yields. The Company recorded a $203,000 provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2025, compared to a $642,000 and a $171,000 provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2024, respectively. The decrease in the provision during the current quarter compared to the prior quarter was primarily driven by a decrease in the specific reserves on individually evaluated loans, partially offset by loan growth and an increase in the overall required level of allowance for credit loss reserve. Net charge-offs were $13,000 for the second quarter of 2025, compared to net charge-offs of $102,000 in the prior quarter of 2025 and $76,000 in the second quarter of 2024. Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2025 increased $73,000, or 5.1%, to $1.5 million compared to $1.4 million for the prior quarter of 2025, and increased $30,000, or 2.0%, compared to $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in noninterest income for the current quarter compared to the prior quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a $262,000 decrease in loss on equity securities, reflecting positive fair value adjustments due to improved market conditions, and a $127,000 increase in loan servicing and other fees. These increases were partially offset by a $144,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans, a $118,000 increase in loss on investment in Small Business Investment Company ('SBIC') fund, a $32,000 decrease in service charges and other fees, and a $22,000 decrease in other income and fees. The increase in noninterest income for the current quarter compared to the same quarter of 2024 was primarily due to a $328,000 decrease in loss on equity securities as a result of positive fair value adjustments on these securities due to changes in market conditions, a $179,000 increase in loan servicing and other fees, and a $75,000 increase in service charges and other fees partially offset by a $233,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans, a $298,000 increase in loss on investment in SBIC fund, and a $21,000 decrease in other income and fees. Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2025 decreased $235,000, or 1.5%, to $15.8 million, compared to $16.0 million for the first quarter of 2025, and decreased $258,000, or 1.6%, compared to $16.0 million for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease from the prior quarter primarily reflected a $207,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits, as the first quarter included slightly higher incentive expense, and a $135,000 reduction in other expense. The decrease in other expense was due in part to excess funds returned to the Bank from a loss reserve account previously established under the California Capital Access Program (CalCap), which is designed to support small business lending by requiring contributions to a reserve fund that covers potential loan losses. These funds were no longer needed due to strong loan performance and were returned to the Bank. These decreases were partially offset by a $47,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expense and a $60,000 increase in data processing expense. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, the decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to a $657,000 decrease in other expense due to reduction in legal and professional service costs as well as the return of unused CalCap reserve funds. These decreases were partially offset by a $263,000 increase in data processing expense due to newly implemented services in 2025, an $86,000 increase in salaries and wages, and a $50,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expense. The provision for income taxes increased $365,000, or 18.4%, and was $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2025 and increased $357,000, or 17.9%, from $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2024. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2025 was 27.0%, compared to 25.8% for the prior quarter of 2025 and 26.3% for the second quarter of 2024. The effective tax rate increased from the prior quarter of 2025 due to year-end true-ups recorded in the first quarter of 2025, and was lower compared to the second quarter of 2024 due to higher low income housing tax credits. Loans and Credit Quality Loans, net of deferred fees, increased $33.6 million from March 31, 2025, and increased $136.1 million from June 30, 2024, and totaled $2.0 billion at both June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, compared to $1.9 billion at June 30, 2024. The increase in loans at June 30, 2025 compared to March 31, 2025 was primarily due to $155.1 million of new loan originations and $13.1 million of loan purchases, partially offset by $134.4 million of loan repayments and $564,000 of loan sales during the current quarter. Nonperforming loans, consisting of non-accrual loans and accruing loans 90 days or more past due, totaled $16.4 million, or 0.82% of total loans, at June 30, 2025, compared to $10.0 million, or 0.51% of total loans, at March 31, 2025, and $16.1 million, or 0.87% of total loans, at June 30, 2024. The increase in nonperforming loans from the prior quarter-end was primarily due to seven new commercial real estate loans totaling $5.2 million being placed on non-accrual during the current quarter and a $2.8 million increase in loans 90 days or most past due, still accruing, and in the process of collection, partially offset by payoffs of four non-accrual loans totaling $1.9 million and one fully charged off nonaccrual loan of $105,000. The seven commercial real estate loans placed on non-accrual are secured by various types of real estate. The portion of nonaccrual loans guaranteed by government agencies totaled $610,000 at June 30, 2025, compared to $618,000 at March 30, 2025 and $2.2 million at June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, there were three loans totaling $2.9 million that were 90 days or more past due, still accruing, and in the process of collection. Of the $2.9 million, $2.8 million are fully guaranteed by government agencies. This compares to one loan totaling $150,000 at March 31, 2025, and no such loans at June 30, 2024. Accruing loans past due between 30 and 89 days at June 30, 2025, totaled $9.2 million, compared to $10.8 million at March 31, 2025 and $1.5 million at June 30, 2024. The $1.6 million decrease in accruing loans past due between 30-89 days at June 30, 2025 as compared to March 31, 2025, was primarily due to one commercial real estate loan for $1.9 million which was 30-89 days past due at March 31, 2025 and was paid off during the current quarter. At June 30, 2025, the Company's allowance for credit losses for loans was $18.7 million, or 0.93% of total loans, compared to $18.5 million, or 0.94% of total loans, at March 31, 2025 and $19.0 million, or 1.02% of total loans, at June 30, 2024. We recorded net charge-offs of $13,000 for the second quarter of 2025, compared to net charge-offs of $102,000 in the prior quarter of 2025 and net charge-offs of $76,000 in the second quarter of 2024. The modest increase in the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2025, as compared to March 31, 2025, was primarily attributable to an increase of $662,000 in the reserve for pooled loans, partially offset by a $462,000 decrease in specific reserves on individually evaluated loans. During the second quarter of 2025, the increase in the reserve for pooled loans was attributable to an increase in qualitative reserves as a result of changes in the risk level of one qualitative factor, as well as an increase in quantitative reserves tied to forecasted economic conditions. Specifically, the model incorporated a higher forecasted national unemployment rate, partially offset by an improved outlook for national gross domestic product, both of which are key macroeconomic variables used in the Company's credit loss estimation process. As of June 30, 2025, acquired loans net of their discount totaled $141.7 million, with a remaining net discount on these loans of $319,000, compared to $152.4 million of acquired loans with a remaining net discount of $223,000 at March 31, 2025, and $186.3 million of acquired loans with a remaining net discount of $540,000 at June 30, 2024. The change in the net discount from March 31, 2025, was due to payoff activity during the current quarter. The net discount includes a credit discount based on estimated losses on the acquired loans, partially offset by a premium, if any, based on market interest rates on the date of acquisition. Deposits and Borrowings Deposits increased $57.8 million, or 2.6%, to $2.2 billion at June 30, 2025, compared to $2.1 billion at March 31, 2025 and increased $11.6 million, or 0.6%, compared to $2.2 billion at June 30, 2024. The increase in deposits during the current quarter as compared to prior quarter is due to organic growth. In addition, during 2025, the overall deposit mix shifted, in part, due to interest-rate sensitive clients moving a portion of their non-operating deposit balances from lower costing deposits, including noninterest-bearing deposits, into higher costing money market accounts and time deposits. At June 30, 2025, noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $616.1 million, or 28.2% of total deposits, compared to $589.5 million, or 27.7% of total deposits, at March 31, 2025, and $618.6 million, or 28.4% of total deposits, at June 30, 2024. We consider our deposit base to be seasoned, stable and well-diversified, and we do not have any significant industry concentrations among our non-insured deposits. We also offer an insured cash sweep (ICS) product that allows customers to insure deposits above FDIC insurance limits. At June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, our average deposit account size (excluding public funds), calculated by dividing period-end deposits by the population of accounts with balances, was approximately $61,000 and $60,000, respectively. The Bank has an approved secured borrowing facility with the FHLB of San Francisco for up to 25% of total assets for a term not to exceed five years under a blanket lien of certain types of loans, with no FHLB advances outstanding at June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025 or June 30, 2024. The Bank has Federal Funds lines with four corresponding banks with an aggregate available commitment on these lines of $65.0 million at June 30, 2025. The Bank has approved discount window advances with the FRB of San Francisco secured by certain loan types. There were no amounts outstanding under these lines or borrowing facilities at June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025 or June 30, 2024. At June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures, net of fair value adjustments, assumed in connection with its previous acquisitions totaling $8.7 million, compared to $8.6 million at June 30, 2024. At June 30, 2025, the Company had outstanding subordinated debt, net of costs to issue, totaling $63.8 million, compared to $63.8 million and $63.7 million at March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. At June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, the Company had no other borrowings outstanding. Shareholders' Equity Shareholders' equity totaled $330.6 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $329.3 million at March 31, 2025, and $315.3 million at June 30, 2024. The $1.2 million increase in shareholders' equity from March 31, 2025, was primarily the result of net income of $6.4 million and $789,000 in other comprehensive income, net of taxes, related mainly to changes in the unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities. These increases were partially offset by $3.9 million in common stock repurchases and $2.2 million in accrued cash dividends payable during the quarter. At June 30, 2025, a total of 264,855 shares remained available for repurchase under the Company's current stock repurchase plan. The $15.3 million increase in shareholders' equity from June 30, 2024, was primarily attributable to growth in retained earnings, reflecting higher earnings over the trailing twelve months, as well as a $283,000 improvement in other comprehensive income, net of taxes, and a $764,000 increase in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. These increases were partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in cash dividends payable over the comparable periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States ('GAAP'), this earnings release contains tangible book value per share and tangible equity to tangible assets, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders' equity by the number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period. Tangible equity and tangible common shareholders' equity exclude intangible assets from shareholders' equity, and tangible assets exclude intangible assets from total assets. For these financial measures, the Company's intangible assets are goodwill and core deposit intangibles. The Company believes that these measures are consistent with the capital treatment by our bank regulatory agencies, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios and presents these measures to facilitate comparison of the quality and composition of the Company's capital over time in comparison to its peers. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

(Photo by) Juarno Augustus is ruled out of the Champions Cup final, while former Sharks centre Rohan Janse van Rensburg is poised to make an impact on Saturday. Janse van Rensburg continues the tradition of a South African player in every final of the Champions Cup era, named on the Bordeaux bench ahead of Saturday's clash with Northampton Saints.

George Furbank and Ollie Sleightholme return while Fin Smith and Alex Mitchell continue at halfback and Curtis Langdon earns his 50th appearance.

Carbery and McNamara play their part in Bordeaux's rise
WHEN JOEY CARBERY suffered a hand injury on his Top 14 debut for Bordeaux back in September, he could scarcely believe it. The out-half had upped sticks from Munster to enjoy a fresh start in France. After years of his body breaking down at the worst times and the struggles for selection and form that resulted, things were surely going to be different with Union Bordeaux Bègles [UBB]. So it must have been deeply frustrating to suffer an injury he's had to deal with before. And yet, Carbery already sensed at that stage that the move to Bordeaux had been a great decision. It's a beautiful city. Carbery's wife and son, who soon turns one, moved over with him and the memories they're making will undoubtedly last a lifetime. Carbery probably also appreciated from early on that he had joined a special rugby club on the rise. Bordeaux sell out the Stade Chaban Delmas for every home game, welcoming in a vocal crowd of more than 32,000 people. UBB have cleverly assembled an excellent squad in recent years, with long-serving president Laurent Marti continuing to ensure the necessary resources are in place. It must be a thrill to be part of a squad including players like Damian Penaud, Matthieu Jalibert, Louis Bielle-Biarrey, Yoram Moefana, Pete Samu, Guido Petti, Ben Tameifuna, and rising stars such as Nicolas Depoortère. Carbery was another piece of the jigsaw because Bordeaux were looking for another strong out-half to complement France international Jalibert. Carbery's versatility was another attractive factor, as was his international experience. Only Petti, Jonny Gray, and Penaud in the UBB squad have more Test caps than Carbery's 37. Former France hooker Yannick Bru joined as head coach in the summer of 2023, bringing Irish attack specialist Noel McNamara with him. It was nice for Carbery to have a familiar face to welcome him to Bordeaux at the start of the season. Noel McNamara has made a big impression in Bordeaux. Dan Sheridan / INPHO Dan Sheridan / INPHO / INPHO Also on the UBB coaching staff are former Toulouse back row Shaun Sowerby [forwards], ex-France prop Jean-Baptiste Poux [scrum], former France scrum-half Christophe Laussucq [defence], ex-Springbok Heini Adams [skills], and former France S&C specialist Thibault Giroud. It's a highly-regarded coaching set-up. Carbery knew all of this when he agreed to join Bordeaux, of course, but seeing the quality on a day-to-day basis is undoubtedly exciting. Advertisement He finally got his second appearance for the club in early November when he returned from injury at out-half and it has been a happy run for Carbery ever since, leading to his cameo off the bench for the closing 11 minutes of last weekend's Champions Cup semi-final win over Toulouse. 29-year-old Carbery has played his part in this run to the final, starting the pool win away to Ulster at out-half, then starting at fullback in the pool victory over the Sharks, as well as coming off the bench in a win against Leicester. He impressed at number 10 against Ulster in the Round of 16 before missing out on involvement in the quarter-final against his former club, Munster, as Bordeaux opted for a 6/2 bench split in the quarter-final. Carbery will be hoping there are no thoughts of that for the final against Northampton. Carbery has had nine Top 14 starts this season, with eight at out-half and one at number 15, as well as coming off the bench five times. All in all, it has been a busy and happy opening campaign, with the best possibly ahead. As well as reaching the Champions Cup final, UBB sit second in the Top 14 with four regular-season games remaining. Toulon are only two match points behind, so Bru's men have to get their foot back on the accelerator after back-to-back domestic defeats to Pau and La Rochelle. A top-two finish would mean avoiding the barrages phase of the knock-outs and going straight into the semi-finals. It's a huge focus for Bordeaux. Their scintillating attack means they can be confident of doing damage against any team, while last weekend's win over an admittedly depleted Toulouse shows that Bordeaux also have the forward might to out-muscle teams in high-stakes knock-out rugby. Bordeaux have a highly talented squad. Dan Sheridan / INPHO Dan Sheridan / INPHO / INPHO The characteristic, stunning transition tries by Samu and Bielle-Biarrey were highlights, but Bordeaux must have taken immense satisfaction from overpowering Toulouse for their last two tries through Pierre Bochaton and Tameifuna. Last year's Top 14 final defeat to les Toulousains, a 59-3 hammering, is increasingly in the rearview mirror. Attack coach McNamara obviously has serious weapons to work with, yet he has done an excellent job of providing some clever plans without getting in the way of or inhibiting that talent. His starter players from set-piece have always been inventive and we've seen more examples of that with Bordeaux. Meanwhile, their phase-play attack has shape without being robotic. McNamara's system gets the best out of one thing that Bordeaux have in abundance – sheer speed. Bielle-Biarrey, Jalibert, Penaud, Romain Buros and co. are lightning quick in the backs, and forwards like Samu, Marko Gazzotti, Maxime Lamothe, Sipili Falatea are mobile and explosive. UBB can go from standing still to top gear in the blink of an eye. McNamara has harnessed that quality well. His coaching journey has been an intriguing one, all the more given his lack of a playing background. Glenstal, Clongowes, UCD, Ireland U20s, North Harbour in New Zealand, the Leinster academy, the Sharks of South Africa, and now Bordeaux. It's a rich, varied CV. A former teacher, McNamara worked hard on his French from day one and speaks it well enough to appear on French TV. That effort to integrate never goes unappreciated in France, particularly given that some foreign coaches don't push themselves to learn. But it is McNamara's coaching quality that has made the biggest impression and while many would like to see him back in Irish rugby, the Clare man has signed on with UBB until the summer of 2027. He and Carbery will now hope to claim Champions Cup winners' medals in Cardiff in three weekends. It would be a second such medal for Carbery, who was on the bench for Leinster in the 2018 final against Racing 92. The Bordeaux duo will wish a few of their compatriots well the night before in Cardiff. Bath will take on Lyon in the Challenge Cup final, with former Leinster lock Ross Molony, ex-Ireland second row Quinn Roux, and former Ulster hooker Niall Annett part of former Munster boss Johann van Graan's squad. Ross Molony has settled in well with Bath. Dan Sheridan / INPHO Dan Sheridan / INPHO / INPHO Roux started in the second row in last weekend's semi-final win over Edinburgh, while Molony and Annett both came off the bench, the hooker scoring a try. 31-year-old second row Molony has played 20 games so far in his first season with Bath, 11 of them in the starting team, and team-mates like Finn Russell have spoken positively about his knowledge and the standards he sets among the squad. Annett, a former Ireland U20 captain, has forged an excellent career in England, firstly by becoming a much-loved figure at Worcester before joining Bath in 2022. The 34-year-old has played 21 times this season, with six starts in the number two shirt. The last of Roux's 16 Ireland caps came in 2020. The former Leinster and Connacht man moved to Bath the same summer as Annett. The 34-year-old remains a powerful presence and has racked up 18 starts in the second row for van Graan's side this season. Bath are favourites to win the Premiership. They have a 15-point lead with three regular-season games left. They will have to negotiate a semi-final and final, of course, but after last year's defeat to Northampton in the decider, many expect them to get over the line this time. Before that, van Graan, whose staff includes former Munster defence coach JP Ferreira, will plan to lead Bath to Challenge Cup glory. They won the Premiership Rugby Cup in March, ending a 17-year trophy drought. Molony, Roux, and Annett hope to help them to bigger and better achievements in the near future.
