Release Date: Aug 8, 2025

Net Interest Margin Expansion Q2 FTE Net Interest Margin rose 26 bps Q/Q to 3.30%, driven by higher yields on interest-earning assets and lower funding costs.

Risk Factors
Increased Net Charge-Offs Q2 annualized net charge-offs ratio jumped to 0.20% (vs. 0.05% Q2 2024), primarily due to a single $4.3M non-owner occupied CRE charge-off.
Higher Credit Loss Provision YTD Provision for Credit Losses increased $2.0M to $10.8M, reflecting increased risk reserves for business lending portfolio growth.
