2025 Q3 Earnings Highlights
Key Highlights
Strong Net Income Growth Net income reached $16.9M (3 months), a 225.0% increase YoY; nine-month net income was $50.5M, up 182.9%.
NIM Expansion Driven by Growth Tax-equivalent Net Interest Margin improved to 3.50% for Q3 2025, driven by asset yields from HMNF acquisition and organic loan growth.

Capital Ratios Strengthened Consolidated CET1 ratio improved to 10.84% from 9.91% at year-end, supporting a total loan portfolio of $4.10B.
Risk Factors
CRE Portfolio Concentration Commercial Real Estate loans constitute 49.3% of the total loan portfolio, increasing credit risk exposure to local market conditions.
