Second Quarter 2025 Results

Net income totaled $26.4 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $23.6 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, for the prior quarter.

The return on average total assets was 1.28% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 1.20% for the prior quarter, and the return on average stockholders’ equity was 9.74% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 9.03% for the prior quarter.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $78.5 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $4.0 million compared to the prior quarter. Our net interest margin of 4.07% was unchanged compared to the prior quarter. Results for the second quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter, were primarily driven by an increase of four basis points in the yield on earning assets, offset by an increase of four basis points in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Average loans, including loans held-for-sale, increased by $199.8 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter. Loan yield increased by seven basis points to 6.43% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to higher yields on new originations as compared to amortizing and maturing balances. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $247.3 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter. Total cost of interest-bearing deposits increased by five basis points to 2.78% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to an increase in promotional rate money market deposits.

Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses totaled $4.5 million for the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to deterioration in a couple of commercial and industrial (“C&I”) customer relationships and impacts from net portfolio downgrades, partially offset by impacts from net changes in loan portfolio balances.

Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2025 were $13.5 million resulting in an annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average loans of 0.83%, compared to net charge-offs of $0.6 million, or an annualized ratio of net-charge offs to average loans of 0.04% for the prior quarter. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2025 were elevated primarily due to a write-down related to a specific customer relationship in our C&I loan portfolio.

The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.28% at June 30, 2025, a decrease of 14 basis points from the prior quarter. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.80% at June 30, 2025, compared to 1.02% at March 31, 2025.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $27.1 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $5.3 million from the prior quarter. Mortgage banking income increased $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to an increase in MSR capitalization and gain on sales, due to seasonally higher mortgage loans sold.

Other noninterest income increased $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to an increase in the fair value of investments related to our deferred compensation plan.

Noninterest income as a percentage of total revenue¹ was 25.6%, an increase of 3.0% from the prior quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $68.1 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $5.4 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to an increase in salary and employee benefits of $4.4 million as a result of higher levels of variable compensation and an increase in the fair value of investments related to our deferred compensation plan.

The efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2025 was 64.52% compared to 65.19% for the prior quarter.

Tax Rate

The effective tax rate was 20.0% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 20.6% for the prior quarter.

Loans

Loans were $6.5 billion at June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, increasing $23.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, or 1.4% on an annualized basis, primarily due to an increase of $31.0 million in residential real estate and $16.6 million in commercial and industrial, partially offset by a decrease of $26.8 million in public finance.

Deposits

Deposits were $7.1 billion at June 30, 2025 compared to $6.9 billion at March 31, 2025, an increase of $225.9 million in the second quarter of 2025, or 13.2% on an annualized basis, primarily due to growth of $191.7 million in savings and money market accounts, and $131.9 million in noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts, partially offset by a decrease of $146.9 million in certificates of deposits.

Noninterest-bearing deposit accounts represented 24.0% of total deposits at June 30, 2025 and the loan-to-deposit ratio was 91.6% at June 30, 2025.

Capital

Capital ratios remain strong and above “well-capitalized” thresholds. As of June 30, 2025, our common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 13.78%, total risk-based capital ratio was 15.94% and tier 1 leverage ratio was 12.39%. Book value per share was $39.35 at June 30, 2025, an increase of $0.86 from March 31, 2025. Tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $35.77 at June 30, 2025, an increase of $0.89 from March 31, 2025.
