Income Statement

Net income totaled $5.8 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $361,000, or 27% annualized, from the first quarter of 2025, and an increase of $2.3 million, or 67%, from the second quarter of 2024.  The primary contributors  to the improvement in net income compared to the first quarter of 2025, were a $1.1 million increase in interest and fees on loans, an increase of $367,000 in noninterest income and a decrease in noninterest expense of $233,000.  Partially offsetting this increase was $925,000 in provision for credit losses during the second quarter of 2025. This increase in provision for credit losses was primarily due to an increase in loans as of June 30, 2025 compared to March 31, 2025.



Net interest income totaled $20.3 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $938,000, or 19% annualized, from the first quarter of 2025, and an increase of $1.8 million, or 10%, from the second quarter of 2024.  Net interest margin was 3.60% in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 8 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2025,

and a 21-basis-point increase compared to the second quarter of 2024. The increase in net interest margin compared to the prior quarter was primarily driven by an increase in average loans and higher loan yields outpacing stable funding costs, which were driven by lower average short-term borrowings.



The yield on loans in the second quarter of 2025 was 7.01%, an increase of 5 basis points from the first quarter of 2025 and a decrease of 36 basis points from the second quarter of 2024. The increase in loan yields compared to the first quarter of 2025 was due to the increase in average loans during the second quarter of 2025 while the decrease in loan yields compared to the second quarter of 2024 was driven by a reduction in the Prime rate.



The cost of interest-bearing deposits in the second quarter of 2025 was 3.54%, an increase of 3 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2025 and a decrease of 57 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2024.  The cost of deposits in the second quarter of 2025 was 2.78%, an increase of 2 basis points from the first quarter of 2025 and a decrease of 31 basis points from the second quarter of 2024.



The provision for credit losses was $925,000 in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $0 in the first quarter of 2025 and $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. The provision was higher in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter primarily due to higher loan balances.



Noninterest income was $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2025 and $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2024. The second quarter of 2025 included $273,000 from warrant and success fee income, partially offset by a decrease in other investments income due to fair value adjustments.  



Noninterest expense totaled $12.6 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $12.8 million in the first quarter of 2025 and $11.8 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease from the first quarter was primarily due to lower salaries and benefits expense driven by the following: severance expense of $222,000 and seasonally higher payroll taxes during the first quarter of 2025, as well as higher capitalized loan origination costs during the second quarter of 2025, partially offset by an increase in incentives expense. Occupancy and equipment expense decreased due to lower rent expense in one of our loan production offices.  There were 149 full-time equivalent employees on June  30, 2025, compared to 143 on March  31, 2025.
