Income Statement

Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2025 was $26.4 million compared to $24.9 million in the second quarter of 2025 and $25.0 million for the third quarter of 2024. Net interest margin was 3.75% for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 3.80% for the second quarter of 2025, and 3.82% for the third quarter of 2024.

Shareholders’ equity increased to $305.5 million at September 30, 2025 from $298.0 million at June 30, 2025 primarily as a result of a $5.1 million increase in retained earnings.

Asset Quality

The Company recorded a $1.0 million provision for credit losses during the third quarter of 2025, after recording a $344 thousand provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2025.

The increase in provision was primarily related to commercial loan growth during the third quarter of 2025.

Delinquencies improved over the prior quarter, as loans 30-89 days past due at September 30, 2025 were $4.73 million, representing 0.19% of total loans compared to $14.5 million or 0.62% of total loans at June 30, 2025 and $2.9 million or 0.13% of total loans at December 31, 2024.

The increase in non-performing assets was primarily related to one commercial loan secured by a perfected first lien on real estate that is properly margined.

(1) - These capital ratios have been calculated using bank-level capital

 

(2) - This is a non-GAAP financial measure. See our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.

 

 


Page 11 of 21

(3) - The efficiency ratio, as adjusted represents noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, excluding gains or losses from securities sales and merger related expenses. This is a non-GAAP financial measure. See our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.

 

(4) - We calculate tangible common equity as total shareholders' equity less goodwill and other intangibles, and we calculate tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and other intangibles. This is a non-GAAP financial measure. See our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.

 

(5) - We calculate tangible book value per common share as total shareholders' equity less goodwill and other intangibles, divided by the outstanding number of shares of our common stock at the end of the relevant period. Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure, and, as we calculate tangible book value per common share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is book value per common share. See our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures at the end of this release.

 

(6) - Charge offs for the three months ended June 30, 2025 do not include the impact of a settlement of a purchase credit deteriorated loan ("PCD") that resulted in a net decrease to the allowance of $2.0 million, which was covered by a specific reserve established on this PCD loan at the time of acquisition.

Appendix A – Reconciliation to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This document contains supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance. These measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures nor should they be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. Management believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of specified items provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results. Non-GAAP measures are not formally defined under GAAP, and other entities may use calculation methods that differ from those used by us. As a complement to GAAP financial measures, our management believes these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in comparing the financial condition and results of operations of financial institutions due to the industry prevalence of such non-GAAP measures. See the tables below for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
