Current report

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was signed into law by President Trump, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses, including extending and modifying certain key provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and expanding certain incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 while accelerating the phase-out of others. The Company continues to evaluate the OBBBA but does not anticipate that the OBBBA will have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. As the legislation was signed into law after the close of the second quarter of 2025, the impacts are not included in the Company’s operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, interest income was $20.6 million, an increase of $2.1 million compared to $18.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increases in interest income when comparing the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 to the same periods in 2024 are primarily due to increases in average interest-earning assets, partially offset by yield reductions on adjustable-rate loans, securities, and other liquid assets as a result of the 100 basis point decrease in the target federal funds rate by the Federal Reserve during the second half of 2024.

Current report

These increases are attributable to both (i) increases in employee salaries and benefits expenses resulting from an increase in full-time equivalent employees from 155 at June 30, 2024 to 188 at June 30, 2025, and (ii) higher stock-based compensation expense due to increases in grant date fair value of recent stock awards.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, and continuing into the first quarter 2024, the Company repurchased previously sold guaranteed SBA loans by initiating a change in loan terms with certain borrowers, at the borrowers’ option, to convert variable loans to five-year fixed rate loans at lower current interest rates. The repurchase program was initiated in response to a rapid rise in the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate which has the potential to significantly impact our borrowers, the majority of whom are in variable rate loans. The Prime Rate increased from 3.25% to 8.50% between March 2022 and July 2023, an increase of 525 basis points. The Company received requests from borrowers due to the higher payments affecting borrowers’ cash flow and operations. Given the predicted economic outlook and anticipated interest rate reductions likely being delayed until late 2024, the Company decided to evaluate converting the variable rate structure to a fixed-rate based on a current credit evaluation. In response, the Bank reached out to request annual tax returns and updated financial information from borrowers. The Company began to repurchase previously sold guaranteed SBA loans by initiating a change in loan terms with certain borrowers, at the borrowers’ option, to convert variable loans to five-year fixed rate loans at the current market terms.
