2025 Annual Earnings Highlights

Key Highlights

Net Income Increased 13% Net income rose 13.0% year-over-year to $226.07M, driven by lower credit loss provisions and Merger cost reductions.
Strategic Mortgage Exit Complete The Bank completed its strategic shift, exiting the consumer single-family mortgage lending market in January 2025.
Strong Capital Ratios Maintained Bank capital remains robust; Common Equity Tier 1 ratio stood at 13.40%, well above regulatory minimums.
Provision for Credit Losses Drops Provision for credit losses decreased significantly to $7.75M in 2025, down from $17.50M recorded in the prior year.

Risk Factors

Non-Performing Assets Surged Non-performing assets increased 84.7% to $143.02M (0.54% of assets), primarily due to one large commercial real estate loan.
Net Interest Margin Compressed Net Interest Margin fell to 2.58% from 2.69% as asset yields declined faster than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
Mortgage Business Revenue Loss Uncertainty exists regarding the ability to fully offset lost revenue and customer relationships from exiting single-family lending.
Evolving Cyber and Fraud Threats The Company faces heightened risk from sophisticated cyber-attacks and fraud, requiring continuous, costly technology enhancements.

Outlook

Commercial Lending Focus Management is focused on commercial lending growth, including SBA loans, as commercial originations comprised 83.1% of total.
CRA Rating Limits Expansion The Bank's 'Needs to Improve' CRA rating may restrict expansionary activities like mergers and new branch establishment.
Economic Uncertainty Persists Global trade tensions, inflation risks, and unpredictable political environments could adversely affect borrower credit quality.
Technology Investment Continues Ongoing investment in technology is planned to improve operating efficiency and enhance customer experience across digital channels.
