Introduction

Recent Developments
Current report
On July 4, 2025, “An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Title II of H. Con. Res. 14,” more commonly referred to as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA) was signed into law. OBBBA enacted broad changes to the domestic and international taxation arena by extending many expiring Tax Cuts and Jobs Act tax provisions among other individual and business tax relief measures, along with funding national defense and border security, cutting certain federal spending programs, phasing out certain renewable energy credits created by the Inflation Reduction Act, and raising the national debt ceiling, among other things. Management is currently evaluating the potential impacts of the provisions of the OBBBA to the Company, however, based on information available to date, we do not anticipate the OBBBA will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, absent any further changes in law.
Current report
•Noninterest expense was $31.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $3.9 million from the three months ended June 30, 2024, driven primarily by higher salaries and benefits, largely attributable to bonus and incentive compensation and mortgage-related variable compensation, partially offset by lower expenses across several other categories.
Current report
•Loans held for investment (“HFI”) portfolio was $5.50 billion at June 30, 2025, an increase of $1.07 billion from December 31, 2024, reflecting increases of $1.18 billion in MPP balances and $50.7 million in AIO loans over the period.
Current report
(2)Net loan fees of $70,000 and $134,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, are included in interest income.
Current report
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net interest income was $36.5 million, an increase of $7.9 million, or 27.7%, from $28.6 million for the same period in 2024. This increase was driven primarily by a 21.7% increase in earning assets and an 11 basis point improvement in net interest margin.
Current report
The increase in average interest-earning assets in both the three and six month periods of 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, reflect the strong growth within the MPP and AIO portfolios, partially offset by the continued run-off from the remainder of the loans HFI portfolio.
Current report
Net interest margin was 2.44% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of 11 basis points from 2.33% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Net interest margin was 2.40% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of 5 bps from 2.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Current report
The increase in net interest margin in both the three and six month periods of 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, was driven primarily by a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which was partially offset by a smaller decrease in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets, both attributable to decreases in the federal funds rate. The net interest margin also continued to benefit from an improvement in the mix of interest-earning assets, with virtually all of the growth in loans coming from MPP and AIO, both of which carry higher average yields than the rest of the loan portfolio.

Provision for Credit Losses and Unfunded Commitments
Current report
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the total provision for credit losses was $583,000, as compared to $298,000 for the same period in 2024. The provision for credit losses related to loans was an expense of $548,000 for the three months ended
Current report
The provision for unfunded loan commitments was a benefit of $55,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to a benefit of $788,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The benefits in both the periods reflects lower levels of unfunded commitments driven primarily by continued run-off in the construction loan portfolio.
Current report
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net gain on sale of loans increased by $5.6 million, as compared to the same period in 2024. This was driven primarily by an increase in the fair value of loans of $4.0 million, which included a $1.4 million increase related to an agreement entered into at the end of the second quarter of 2025 to sell $40.3 million in unpaid principal balance of home equity (non AIO) loans, along with higher gains on the sales of loans resulting from increased saleable mortgage volume over the same period.
Current report
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, salaries and employee benefits increased by $4.6 million, as compared to the same period in 2024. Of this increase, $3.2 million was from higher bonus and incentive compensation expense, attributable to the improvement in financial performance and restricted stock expense, $1.3 million was from higher variable commission compensation associated with higher mortgage volume and $749,000 was from higher employee benefits expense. Partially offsetting this was a decrease in base salaries and other compensation of $838,000 largely attributable to the Company’s strategic initiative to private label outsource its non-specialized mortgage servicing.
Current report
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, occupancy and equipment expense decreased by $228,000, as compared to the same period in 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, occupancy and equipment expense decreased by $552,000, as compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in occupancy and equipment expense in both the three and six month periods of 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, was driven primarily by lower building lease expense.
Current report
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, professional fees increased by $711,000, as compared to same period in 2024, and increased by $820,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in professional fees in both the three and six month periods of 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, was driven primarily by higher public company compliance costs.
Current report
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, other expenses increased by $1.7 million, as compared to the same period in 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, other expenses increased by $1.3 million, as compared to the same period in 2024. Other expenses include several categories of expenses including sub-servicing expense, marketing, loan collection, credit reporting fees, loan repurchase reserve and other variable expenses tied to mortgage volume. The largest driver of the increase in other expenses in both the three and six month periods of 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, was from higher sub-servicer expenses resulting from the Company’s strategic initiative to private label outsource its non-specialized mortgage servicing. This incremental sub-servicer expense was more than offset by the savings in salaries and benefits expense achieved as a result of the strategic initiative. The remainder of the increase in other expenses in both the three and six month periods of 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, was driven primarily by lower levels of loan repurchase reserve net benefit, partially offset by lower expenses across a number of categories.
Current report
We had a loan repurchase reserve net benefit of $98,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a net benefit of $1.1 million for the same period in 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had a loan repurchase reserve net benefit of $165,000 compared to a net benefit of $2.0 million for the same period in 2024.

Previous report
•Noninterest expense was $29.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $1.4 million from the three months ended March 31 2024, driven primarily by higher compensation expense attributable to higher bonus and incentive compensation attributable to our IPO and improvement in net income in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by decreases in other expense categories from our proactive measures to manage mortgage-related back-office expenses.
Previous report
•Loans held for investment (“HFI”) were $5.15 billion at March 31, 2025, an increase of $719.4 million from March 31, 2024, reflecting increases of $757.4 million in MPP balances and $31.1 million in AIO loans. Both of these increases reflect strong new customer acquisition and market share gains, as well as a slight increase in overall industry mortgage originations.
Previous report
Average interest-earning assets were $5.24 billion at March 31 2025, an increase of $641.3 million from $4.60 billion at March 31, 2024, reflecting strong growth in loans, particularly MPP and AIO.
Previous report
Net interest margin was 2.35% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of 3 bps from 2.38% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease was driven primarily by average yields on interest earning assets decreasing by slightly more than our decrease in cost of funds, as well as a change in the mix of interest-earning assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the yield on interest earning assets decreased by 22 bps from same period in 2024 and the rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 21 bps from the same period in 2024, both reflecting a reduction in the federal funds rate.
Previous report
The yield and volume table above shows that the $3.2 million increase in net interest income for the three months ended March 31 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was due to a $3.4 million benefit from increased earnings asset volume partially offset by a $177,000 decrease in net interest margin as the decrease in yields on assets was more than the decrease in the cost of funds. The primary driver of our growth in net interest income in the first quarter of 2025 was our loan portfolio. Total interest income on our loan portfolio grew $7.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, with $8.8 million coming from growth in average portfolio balances partially offset by a reduction of $1.6 million from lower loan portfolio yields. Offsetting this interest income growth was higher funding costs, among most funding sources, primarily volume related. Total funding costs increased by $3.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, with $6.0 million of the increase in interest expense coming from higher average balances, partially offset by $2.7 million from lower funding rates.

The provision for credit losses represents a charge to earnings necessary to establish an allowance for credit losses that, in management’s evaluation, is adequate to provide coverage for all expected future credit losses. The provision for credit losses is impacted by inherent risk characteristics in our loan portfolio, the level of nonperforming loans and net charge-offs, both current and historic, recent historical and projected future economic conditions, loan growth, the direction of the change in collateral values, and the level of actual net charge-offs incurred. Our provision for credit losses reflects risks in the HFI loan portfolio, which is comprised predominately of collateralized single-family mortgage loans, with very low historical loss experience.

Previous wording
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our total provision for credit losses was $1.3 million, compared to a total benefit of $357,000 for the same period in 2024. Our provision for credit losses reflects both our held for investment loan portfolio and the unfunded commitments on that portfolio. The increase in provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, was driven primarily by continued growth in the portfolio, reserve increases on individually evaluated loans, credit migration trends, and changes in the economic forecasts used in the credit models. The provision for credit losses related to loans was an expense of $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting net charge-offs of $259,000 and an ending allowance for credit losses of $12.3 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, loan servicing fees decreased by $2.9 million compared to the same period in 2024, due largely to a $80.8 million bulk sale of MSRs completed in the first quarter of 2024 as we made the strategic decision to scale back that part of our business.

The decrease in loan servicing fees in both the three and six month periods of 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, was driven primarily by lower revenues associated with a large bulk sale of serviced loans in the first quarter of 2024, as we made the strategic decision to scale back that part of our business. The decreases in each respective period was partially offset by an increase in the fair value of the MSR.

Previous wording
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, gain on sale of loans increased by $7.2 million compared to the same period in 2024.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, noninterest expense was $29.4 million, an increase of $1.4 million, compared to the same period in 2024. Salaries and employee benefits expense represent the largest component of our noninterest expense, which are broken out in the below table for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:
Current wording
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, noninterest expense was $31.7 million, an increase of $3.9 million, compared to the same period in 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, noninterest expense was $61.1 million, an increase of $5.3 million, compared to the same period in 2024. Salaries and employee benefits expense represent the largest component of our noninterest expense, which are broken out in the below tables for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:
Previous wording
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, salaries and employee benefits increased by $2.4 million compared to the same period in 2024. Of this increase, $1.9 million was from higher bonus and incentive compensation expense, attributable to our initial public offering and the improvement in net income, along with a $742,000 increase in employee benefit expense from higher payroll tax expenses and an increase of $193,000 in variable commission compensation associated with mortgage volume. Partially offsetting this was a decrease in base salaries and other compensation of $466,000 as we continued to proactively manage staffing levels to align with lower mortgage loan production volume. Our average full time equivalent employees (FTE) was 491 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 610 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Current wording
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, salaries and employee benefits increased by $2.2 million, as compared to the same period in 2024. Of this increase, $1.3 million was from higher bonus and incentive compensation expense, attributable to the improvement in financial performance and restricted stock expense, and an increase of $1.1 million in variable commission compensation associated with higher mortgage volume. Partially offsetting this was a decrease in base salaries and other compensation of $371,000 largely attributable to the Company’s strategic initiative to private label outsource its non-specialized mortgage servicing.
Previous wording
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, occupancy and equipment expense decreased by $323,000 compared to the same period in 2024, driven primarily by lower building lease expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, data processing fees decreased by $391,000 compared to the same period in 2024, which was consistent with lower mortgage volume as much of our data processing costs are unit based. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, professional fees increased by $109,000 compared to same period in 2024, largely due to higher expenses associated with being a public company.
Current wording
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, data processing fees decreased by $186,000, as compared to the same period in 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, data processing fees decreased by $578,000, as compared to the same period in 2024. These decreases from 2024 are consistent with our outsourcing of mortgage servicing as much of our data processing costs are unit based so lower volume results in lower data processing costs.
Previous wording

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our MPP segment reported net income before preferred dividends of $6.8 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 41.6%, over the $4.8 million reported for the same period in 2024. This increase was driven primarily by a 59.6% increase in average balances which drove higher net interest income and fees. The increase in average balances reflects strong loan growth from new customer acquisition and market share gains.
Current wording
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, our MPP segment reported net income before preferred dividends of $9.9 million, an increase of $4.0 million, or 68.8%, over the $5.9 million reported for the same period in 2024. This increase was driven primarily by an 86.1% increase in average balances which drove higher net interest income and fees. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our MPP segment reported net income before preferred dividends of $16.7 million, an increase of $6.0 million, or 56.5%, over the $10.7 million reported for the same period in 2024.

This increase was driven primarily by lower noninterest expense, which outpaced the decrease in noninterest income and net interest income. The decrease in noninterest expense reflects lower variable mortgage commissions and proactive expense management across the channel.
Current wording
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, our Retail Banking segment reported net income before preferred dividends of $10.4 million, an increase of $3.1 million, or 41.9%, over the $7.4 million reported for the same period in 2024.

Previous wording
Total assets were $5.86 billion at March 31, 2025 as compared to $5.22 billion at December 31, 2024. This $635.6 million increase in total assets was driven primarily by higher balances of net loans and loans held for sale, partially offset by lower cash and cash equivalents.
Current wording
Total assets were $6.43 billion at June 30, 2025, as compared to $5.22 billion at December 31, 2024. This $1.21 billion increase in total assets was driven primarily by higher balances of net loans (particularly MPP loans) and loans held for sale, along with higher cash and cash equivalents.

At March 31, 2025, our total loans net of allowance for credit losses including loans held for sale was $5.34 billion, as compared to $4.64 billion on December 31, 2024. This increase of $710.0 million over the prior quarter was driven primarily by the strong growth in MPP and AIO balances, which increased by $757.4 million and $31.1 million, respectively. Growing the MPP business remains one of our top strategic priorities, and reflects the strength of our scalable technology, long-standing strong relationships, as well as our ability to capitalize on recent market disruption within the business line. We also remain focused on prudently growing the portfolio of first-lien home equity lines, which includes AIO loans.

As of March 31, 2025, residential mortgage comprised 35.5% of our total loan portfolio compared to 46.1% for MPP and 12.0% for AIO loans. As of December 31, 2024, residential mortgage comprised 41.9% of our total loan portfolio compared to 36.8% for MPP and 13.2% for AIO loans.

Previous wording
As of March 31, 2025, 46.3% of our total loan portfolio had a contractual maturity of less than one year, up from 37.3% at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to growth in our MPP business over this period. Our MPP facilities are floating rate and generally have terms of 30 days or less given that is the time period that a funded mortgage stays in our mortgage banking clients facility prior to the sale of the mortgage in the secondary market. Very few of our loans have intermediate contractual maturities of between one and fifteen years. As of March 31, 2025, 53.1% of total loans had contractual maturities of longer than 15 years, compared to 62.1% at December 31, 2024. For our two largest categories of long duration loans as of March 31, 2025, 77.7% of residential mortgage and 100% of our AIO Loans were floating rate.

Previous wording
At March 31, 2025, nonperforming assets were $87.8 million compared to $82.0 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in nonperforming assets was driven primarily by normal aging within the loans held for investment portfolio. A substantial portion of the linked quarter increase in non-performing loans related to the Company's transfer of servicing to a scaled sub-servicer. The majority of these loans have already, or are expected to, pay in full or become current. Nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets was 1.50% at March 31, 2025 compared to 1.57% at December 31, 2024.

Excluding the portion of our loans that are wholly or partially guaranteed by the U.S. Government, nonperforming assets to total assets increased to 0.99% at March 31, 2025, compared to 0.95% at December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025, approximately 35% of our nonperforming loans have a form of government guarantee.

The allowance for credit losses was 0.24% of total loans at March 31, 2025 as compared to 0.32% as of December 31, 2024. Management estimates the allowance by using relevant available information from internal and external sources related to historical loss experience, current borrower risk characteristics, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and other relevant factors. The allowance is measured on a collective or pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist or on an individual basis when loans have unique risk characteristics which differentiate them from other loans within the loan segment. The process for estimating credit losses incorporates methodologies and procedures specific to the residential and commercial loan portfolios, each of which has unique risk characteristics. Our allowance for credit losses methodology isdescribed in more detail in Notes 1 and 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Previous wording
Our allowance for credit losses, and associated percentage of total loans, reflect the relative credit risk of our loan portfolio. These include the seasoning of the portfolio, LTV, FICO score, debt to income ratio (“DTI”) and collateral coverage. Given these risk characteristics, and the stark contrast to other financial institutions with a commercial heavy loan portfolio, our allowance and associated ratios will be much lower than those of bank peers with similar asset size. This nuance is also evidenced by the low level of charge-offs we have historically incurred. Additionally, as discussed above, our MPP portfolio makes up an increasing portion of our total loan portfolio and we have yet to experience any loss on that portfolio. We also have purchased mortgage insurance on certain high loan to value loans, further minimizing our loss potential on those loans. Since 2019, our cumulative charge-offs, net of recoveries, totaled $3.1 million. Our annualized net charge-off rate was 0.02% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and we had net recoveries for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
