2025 Q3 Earnings Highlights
Key Highlights
Net Income Rises 17.6% YTD Net Income reached $156.0M, driven by NII growth and lower provision; Diluted EPS increased to $2.94 for nine months ended September 30.
Strong Net Interest Margin Expansion GAAP NIM expanded 26 basis points YTD to 3.26%, resulting from higher asset yields partially offset by increased funding costs compared to prior year.
Asset Quality Shows Improvement Nonperforming loan ratio improved 18 basis points since year-end to 0.46% at September 30, 2025; provision slightly decreased year-to-date.
Loan and Deposit Growth Total loans grew to $10.67B (net) and total deposits reached $14.06B by period end, reflecting strong organic growth across segments.
Risk Factors
Credit Risk from Business Lending Business lending portfolio carries higher credit risk, with ACL allocation reflecting increased size and volume of new loans not fully captured quantitatively.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Exposure Projected NII sensitivity shows a decrease of $6.6M under a +200 basis point rate scenario due to deposits repricing higher faster than loans.
Contingent Consideration Liabilities Significant contingent consideration liabilities exist related to recent acquisitions (e.g., CPD, OneGroup), subject to future revenue performance milestones.
Regulatory Capital Management Must maintain strong capital ratios (CET1 14.53%) above minimums, with ongoing evaluation of new accounting standards impacting disclosures.
Outlook
Focus on Core Operating Performance Management emphasizes maintaining diverse revenue streams and optimizing delivery systems through disciplined acquisition and organic growth strategies.
Liquidity Position Remains Strong Sufficient liquidity projected for the next year, supported by $6.20B in available sources, exceeding estimated uninsured deposits by 240%.
Managing Macroeconomic Forecasts ACL calculation relies heavily on macroeconomic forecasts; management adjusted scenario weighting to increase downside risk capture for credit provisioning.
Continued Investment in Technology Ongoing investment in technology initiatives, including AI and cybersecurity, is expected to lower future core system costs following contract renegotiation.
