Current report
The provision for credit losses was a reversal of $200,000 for the first quarter of 2026 compared to a provision of $600,000 and $6.8 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025. The first quarter of 2026 reversal of provision for credit losses was supported by paydowns on loans with specific reserves, the impact of stabilized credit quality trends, and positive underlying economic forecast indicators, which offset the need for provisions related to new loan originations. Net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2026 represented 0.00% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to 0.20% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 0.35% for the first quarter of 2025.
Current report
At March 31, 2026, total assets were $4.2 billion, a decrease of $14.0 million from December 31, 2025. The decrease in total assets was primarily the result of a decrease of $15.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and a decrease of $10.5 million in income tax receivable. The decrease in cash supported an increase of $10.9 million in gross loans HFI to $3.3 billion at March 31, 2026, and an increase of $8.6 million in securities available for sale ("AFS") to $415.8 million at March 31, 2026. The decrease in income tax receivable of $10.5 million was the result of refunds of taxes previously paid that were received from taxing authorities in the first quarter of 2026. Total deposits decreased by $10.5 million to $3.3 billion as of March 31, 2026. The decrease in total deposits during the first quarter of 2026 was due to a $61.9 million decrease in wholesale deposits offset by a $51.4 million increase in retail deposits. The increase in retail deposits included a $219.4 million increase in non-maturity interest-bearing deposits and a $168.4 million decrease in time deposits as a portion of the maturing time deposits moved into a high-yield savings product. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits totaled $526.9 million, or 15.8% of total deposits, at March 31, 2026, which is similar to the balances at December 31, 2025. The gross loan to deposit ratio was 99.6% at March 31, 2026, compared to 99.0% at December 31, 2025.
Current report
Nonperforming assets decreased $4.6 million to $48.8 million, or 1.16% of total assets, at March 31, 2026, from $53.5 million, or 1.27% of total assets, at December 31, 2025. The $4.6 million decrease in nonperforming assets was primarily attributable to a $4.6 million decrease in OREO to $4.3 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $8.8 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease in OREO was due to the sale of one property and a $350,000 valuation provision on a remaining OREO property. The sale resulted in a $1.2 million gain.
Current report
Loans classified as substandard decreased by $2.7 million during the first quarter of 2026 due to payoffs and paydowns totaling $3.0 million and upgrades to pass-rated status of $1.1 million, partially offset by downgrades to substandard totaling $1.5 million. Loans classified as special mention increased $5.5 million due to downgrades of $5.8 million, partially offset by paydowns of $303,000.
Current report
Net interest income increased $994,000 to $30.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $29.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. Net interest income increased despite 2 fewer days in the current quarter and was comprised of a $1.4 million decrease in interest expense, offset by a $390,000 decrease in interest income. The decrease in interest expense was due mostly to the impact of fewer days in the quarter and a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities while average balances remained relatively unchanged quarter over quarter. The decrease in interest expense was comprised of a $3.4 million decrease in interest on time deposits, offset by a $2.0 million increase in interest on non-maturity interest-bearing accounts as a portion of maturing time deposits moved to a high-yield savings product. The decrease in interest income was due mostly to fewer days in the quarter and the impact of a lower yield on cash and securities, offset by the impact of a higher loan yield and a special FHLB dividend in addition to their normal quarterly dividend. The decrease in interest income was comprised of a $509,000 decrease in loan interest income and a $315,000 decrease in interest on cash and investment securities, offset by the FHLB special dividend of $430,000.
Current report
The average total cost of funds decreased to 2.96% for the first quarter of 2026 from 3.04% for the fourth quarter of 2025, due mostly to a 10 basis point decrease in the overall cost of deposits to 2.86% for the first quarter of 2026. The total cost of deposits decreased due to a 12 basis point decrease in the cost of average interest-bearing deposits to 3.39% due to the mix of deposits and the continued repricing of deposits into the current rate environment. The average overnight Federal Funds Rate was 3.64% for the first quarter of 2026 compared to 3.90% for the fourth quarter of 2025. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented approximately 16% of average total deposits for the first quarter of 2026 and fourth quarter of 2025. The period end weighted average interest rate for total deposits was 2.79% at March 31, 2026.
Current report
The provision for credit losses was a $200,000 reversal for the first quarter of 2026 compared to a $600,000 provision for the fourth quarter of 2025. The first quarter of 2026 reversal of provision for credit losses was supported by paydowns on loans with specific reserves, the impact of stabilized credit quality trends, and positive underlying economic forecast indicators, which offset the need for provisions related to new loan originations. Net charge-offs on an annualized basis represented 0.00% of average loans for the first quarter of 2026 compared to 0.20% for the fourth quarter of 2025.
Current report
The provision for credit losses was a $200,000 reversal for the first quarter of 2026 compared to a $6.8 million provision for the first quarter of 2025. The provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2025 was the result of an increase in specific reserves of $2.8 million, net charge-offs of $2.6 million and an increase in general reserves of $1.3 million due mainly to net loan growth. Net charge-offs on an annualized basis represented 0.35% for the first quarter of 2025.
Current report
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2026 was $4.3 million, an increase of $1.4 million from $2.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase in noninterest income was mainly due to higher net gain on OREO of $890,000, recoveries of fully charged-off acquired loans of $484,000, and interest income on the tax refunds related to purchased federal tax credits of $360,000, offset partially by lower gain on sale of loans of $133,000. The sale of $4.9 million of mortgage loans and $4.0 million of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans resulted in gains of $324,000 for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the sale of mortgage loans of $22.0 million and SBA loans of $2.9 million for gains of $457,000 for the fourth quarter of 2025.
Current report
Noninterest income increased $2.0 million to $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2026 from $2.3 million for the same quarter in the prior year. The increase in noninterest income primarily relates to the gain on OREO, recoveries of fully charged-off acquired loans, and interest income on the tax refunds discussed above. In addition, gain on sale of loans for the first quarter of 2026 increased $243,000 to $324,000 from $81,000 for the same quarter in the prior year. The first quarter of 2025 included losses on sales of nonperforming loans.
Current report
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2026 was $19.3 million, an increase of $293,000 from $19.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase in noninterest expense was due mainly to higher salaries and employee benefits of $528,000 attributed to higher payroll taxes, benefits, and pay increases, which are typically reflected in the first quarter of the year. The efficiency ratio was 55.41% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 58.69% for the fourth quarter of 2025. The decrease in the efficiency ratio is attributed mostly to higher net revenues. The operating expense ratio (noninterest expense, annualized, divided by average assets) for the first quarter of 2026 was 1.86% compared to 1.80% for the fourth quarter of 2025. This increase was due to higher operating costs while average assets remained relatively unchanged.
Current report
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2026 was $19.3 million, an increase of $736,000 compared to $18.5 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase was mainly due to an increase of $618,000 in salaries and employee benefits due to the impact of merit increases and higher incentives related to sustained production levels. The efficiency ratio was 55.41% for the first quarter of 2026 and 65.09% for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in the efficiency ratio is attributed mostly to higher net revenues. The operating expense ratio for the first quarter of 2025 was 1.90% and the decrease to 1.86% for the first quarter of 2026 was due to average asset growth outpacing the relative growth in operating costs.
Current report
We recorded an income tax provision of $4.4 million, $2.6 million, and $900,000, reflecting an effective tax rate of 28.0%, 20.2%, and 28.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 is lower than the federal and state statutory tax rates due primarily to state tax planning strategies. The lower effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2026 resulted from benefits from purchased Federal tax credits and other state tax benefits in 2025.
Current report
Commercial real estate loans. CRE loans decreased $28.9 million, or 9.0% annualized, to $1.3 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to $1.3 billion at December 31, 2025. The decrease in the first quarter of 2026 was driven by above-average payoff activity more than offsetting new loan production.
Current report
Nonperforming assets totaled $48.8 million, or 1.16% of total assets, at March 31, 2026, down from $53.5 million, or 1.27% of total assets, at December 31, 2025. The $4.6 million decrease in nonperforming assets included a decrease of $4.6 million in OREO to $4.3 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $8.8 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease in OREO was primarily due to the sale of one property and a $350,000 valuation provision on a remaining OREO property. The sale resulted in a $1.2 million gain.
Current report
Special mention loans totaled $24.8 million, or 0.75% of total loans, at March 31, 2026, up from $19.2 million, or 0.58% of total loans, at December 31, 2025. The $5.5 million increase for the first quarter of 2026 was primarily due to downgrades to special mention of $5.8 million, partially offset by paydowns of $303,000. As of March 31, 2026, all special mention loans were paying current.
Current report
***Deposits.***Total deposits were $3.3 billion as of March 31, 2026, a decrease of $10.5 million, or 1.3% annualized, compared to $3.4 billion as of December 31, 2025. The decrease in total deposits during the first quarter of 2026 was due to a $61.9 million decrease in wholesale deposits, offset by a $51.4 million increase in retail deposits. The increase in retail deposits included a $219.4 million increase in non-maturity interest-bearing deposits and a $168.4 million decrease in time deposits as a portion of maturing time deposits moved into a high-yield savings product. Noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $526.9 million, or 15.8% of total deposits, at March 31, 2026, which is similar to the balances and percentage of total deposits at December 31, 2025.
Current report
Deposits exceeding the FDIC insurance limits were estimated to be $1.6 billion as of March 31, 2026, and $1.5 billion as of December 31, 2025.
Current report
Time deposits include certain wholesale deposits, such as brokered deposits, collateralized deposits from the State of California, and deposits acquired through internet listing services. We mitigate the risk of using wholesale time deposits by managing the aggregate level of such funding, obtaining wholesale deposits through multiple sources, and leveraging collateralized deposits. Wholesale time deposits totaled $163.8 million at March 31, 2026, and were comprised of brokered deposits of $90.9 million, collateralized deposits from the State of California of $40.0 million, and deposits acquired through internet listing services of $32.9 million at March 31, 2026. This compares to wholesale time deposits of $225.7 million at December 31, 2025, comprised of brokered deposits of $145.5 million, collateralized deposits from the State of California of $40.0 million, and deposits acquired through internet listing services of $40.2 million.

Pre-tax Pre-Provision Income. Management believes that pre-tax pre-provision (“PTPP”) income is a useful measure for investors to evaluate core operating performance, excluding the volatility of credit provision expenses. PTPP income is calculated by subtracting noninterest expense from the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, as shown in the following table:

Previous report
The provision for credit losses totaled $625,000, $2.4 million and $3.3 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2025, June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024. The third quarter of 2025 provision for credit losses reflected a provision for loan loss of $750,000 due mainly to net loan growth and a reversal of provision for credit losses for unfunded commitments of $125,000 due to a lower volume of unfunded commitments.
Previous report
At September 30, 2025, total assets were $4.2 billion, an increase of $216.0 million from December 31, 2024. The increase in total assets was primarily the result of an increase of $249.3 million in gross loans held for investment ("HFI"), to $3.3 billion at September 30, 2025, and mostly funded by an increase of $282.7 million in deposits to $3.4 billion at September 30, 2025. The increase in total deposits was primarily the result of an increase of $295.2 million in interest-bearing deposits, including an increase in wholesale time deposits of $120.6 million, retail time deposits of $116.0 million, and interest-bearing non-maturity deposits of $58.7 million. Wholesale time deposits were raised to repay and refinance maturing FHLB advances, which decreased $70.0 million since year end to $130.0 million at September 30, 2025. The gross loan to deposit ratio was 98.1% at September 30, 2025, compared to 99.4% at December 31, 2024 and 98.6% at September 30, 2024.
Previous report
Nonperforming assets decreased $6.7 million to $54.3 million, or 1.29% of total assets, at September 30, 2025, from $61.0 million, or 1.49% of total assets, at June 30, 2025. The $6.7 million decrease in nonperforming assets was mostly due to $7.0 million in gross charge-offs, $5.0 million in upgrades of loans to performing status and $1.2 million of payoffs or paydowns, partially offset by $3.6 million in SBA-related OREO additions and $2.8 million of loans that migrated to nonaccrual status in the third quarter of 2025. Loans classified as special mention or substandard decreased during the third quarter of 2025 due to upgrades of loans to pass status, payoffs or paydowns, and charge-offs of loan balances.
Previous report
Net interest income increased $1.9 million to $29.3 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $27.3 million for the second quarter of 2025. The $1.9 million increase was due to a $3.2 million increase in interest income, offset by a $1.2 million increase in interest expense. The increase in interest income was mostly due to a $2.4 million increase in interest and fees on loans. The increase in interest expense was due to a $1.0 million increase in interest on deposits and a $235,000 increase in interest on borrowings.
Previous report
The average cost of funds decreased to 3.12% for the third quarter of 2025 from 3.14% for the second quarter of 2025, due to a 3 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits and a 9 basis point decrease in the average cost of total borrowings. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased to 3.63% for the third quarter of 2025 from 3.66% for the second quarter of 2025. The overall funding mix for the third quarter of 2025 remained relatively unchanged from the second quarter of 2025 with average interest-bearing deposits representing 89% of average interest-bearing liabilities and average noninterest-bearing deposits representing 17% of average total deposits. The spot rate for total deposits was 2.97% at September 30, 2025.
Previous report
Net interest income increased $9.4 million to $82.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $73.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in net interest income was due to a decrease in interest expense of $7.6 million, combined with an increase in interest income of $1.8 million. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by higher average balances of such deposits and an increase in the average rates paid on FHLB advances.
Previous report
Interest expense on deposits decreased $10.2 million to $72.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $82.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to a decrease in the average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits to 3.69% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 4.35% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The effect of the decrease in the average rate paid on deposits was partially offset by an increase in average interest-bearing deposit balances of $91.9 million to $2.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Average noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $529.2 million, or 17% of total average deposits, for the first nine months of 2025, which is approximately the same as 2024.
Previous report
Partially offsetting the decrease in interest expense on deposits was an increase in interest expense on FHLB advances of $2.7 million for the first nine months of 2025. The increase was mostly due to $150 million in term advances costing 1.18% that matured in the first quarter of 2025 and were replaced at current market rates. The average cost of FHLB advances was 3.13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 1.18% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Interest expense on FHLB advances was also impacted by a $23.6 million increase in the average outstanding balance.
Previous report
The $1.8 million increase in interest income was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of loans and securities available for sale, partially offset by a decrease in market rates and lower average cash and cash equivalents. Interest and fees on total loans increased $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to a $130.8 million increase in the average balance of total loans from strong loan growth in 2025. The yield on loans decreased 2 basis points to 6.06% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from 6.08% for the same period in 2024. Interest income on available for sale securities increased $2.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to an increase of $94.3 million in average portfolio balances, offset partially by lower market rates. Interest income from cash and cash equivalents decreased by $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 due to lower average balances of $106.8 million, as cash was used to fund loan growth, combined with a 98 basis point decrease in the yield on cash and cash equivalents to 4.73% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from 5.71% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Previous report
The NIM was 2.93% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 25 basis points from 2.68% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to a 41 basis point decrease in the average cost of funds, including a 53 basis point decrease in the cost of average deposits, partially offset by a 12 basis point decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets.
Previous report
The provision for credit losses was $625,000 for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2025. The third quarter of 2025 provision for credit losses reflected a provision for loan losses of $750,000 due mainly to net loan growth and a reversal of provision for unfunded commitments of $125,000 due to a lower volume of unfunded commitments. The third quarter provision also took into consideration factors such as changes in the outlook for economic conditions and market interest rates, and changes in credit quality metrics, including decreases in nonperforming, classified, criticized, and loans 30-89 days past due during the period. Net charge-offs totaled $6.9 million in the third quarter and related almost entirely to a commercial construction loan, of which $6.6 million of this credit loss was reserved for in prior periods, and the borrower filed for bankruptcy this quarter. Net charge-offs on an annualized basis represented 0.84% of average loans for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 0.42% for the second quarter of 2025.
Previous report
The provision for credit losses was $625,000 for the third quarter of 2025 compared to a $3.3 million provision for the third quarter of 2024. The third quarter of 2025 provision was primarily due to loan growth, as previously described, and we saw a reduction in nonperforming, classified, criticized and delinquent loans during the current quarter. The third quarter of 2024 provision for credit losses included an increase in nonperforming, classified, and criticized loans at that date. Net loan charge-offs of $6.9 million for the third quarter of 2025, as previously described, were higher than $1.2 million for the same quarter last year.
Previous report
The provision for credit losses was $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to a $3.9 million provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The provision for the first nine months of 2025 was $5.9 million higher than the same period in 2024 primarily due to increases in net charge-offs, partially offset by the impact of a decline in nonperforming, classified, and criticized loans as of September 30, 2025. There were $12.8 million in net loan charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $1.9 million in net loan charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The 2025 charge-offs included $6.8 million of credit loss that was reserved for in prior periods.
Previous report
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2025 was $3.3 million, a decrease of $5.2 million from $8.5 million for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was mostly due to the second quarter of 2025 including other income of $5.2 million for the receipt of ERC funds from the Internal Revenue Service. There were no such ERC amounts received or associated advisory costs recognized during the third quarter of 2025. In addition, other income increased $148,000 due to higher equity investment income of $498,000, offset by lower recoveries on fully charged-off acquired loans of $350,000.
Previous report
Noninterest income decreased $2.5 million to $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2025 from $5.8 million for the same quarter in the prior year. The decrease in noninterest income primarily relates to a $2.8 million recovery of a fully charged-off loan, which had been acquired in a bank acquisition, that was recognized in other income during the third quarter of 2024.
Previous report
Noninterest income increased $1.5 million to $14.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $12.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was mainly due to the increase in other income from ERC funds of $5.2 million recognized in the second quarter of 2025 with no similar income in 2024, offset by lower recoveries of fully charged-off loans of $2.4 million. We recognized recoveries of fully charged-off loans, which had been acquired in bank acquisitions, of $360,000 and $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The increase in other income was partially offset by a decrease in OREO-related gains of $1.0 million and gain on sale of loans of $511,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same 2024 period.
Previous report
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2025 was $18.7 million, a decrease of $1.8 million from $20.5 million for the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was mainly due to lower legal and professional expense of $1.5 million, including $1.2 million of ERC advisory costs incurred in the second quarter of 2025. Salaries and employee benefits expense also decreased by $480,000, of which $330,000 related to executive management transitions recognized in the prior quarter. The efficiency ratio was 57.36% for the third quarter of 2025, compared to 57.22% for the second quarter of 2025.
Previous report
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2025 was $18.7 million, an increase of $1.3 million compared to $17.4 million for the third quarter of 2024, mainly due to increases in salaries and employee benefits and legal and professional expenses. The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense of $592,000 was due in part to higher incentives related to sustained production levels, one-time costs related to executive management transitions, and the impact of annual pay increases. The increase in legal and professional expense of $492,000 was primarily attributable to elevated legal costs related to credit, operations, and other corporate governance. The efficiency ratio was 57.36% for the third quarter of 2025 and 57.51% for the third quarter of 2024.
Previous report
Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $57.7 million, an increase of $6.2 million from $51.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits expense of $2.9 million, legal and professional fees of $2.8 million, and data processing expenses of $762,000. The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was due in part to staffing and incentives supporting higher production levels, one-time costs related to executive management transitions, and the impact of annual pay increases. The increase in legal and professional fees was due mainly to $1.2 million of ERC advisory costs incurred in the second quarter of 2025 along with higher legal costs related to credit, operations, and other corporate governance. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $450,000 in insurance and regulatory assessments. The efficiency ratio was 59.58% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, down from 59.90% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

We recorded an income tax provision of $3.1 million, $3.6 million, and $2.6 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 23.5%, 27.8%, and 26.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024. We recorded an income tax provision of $7.6 million and $8.3 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 25.9% and 27.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The effective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate for the 2025 reporting periods due in part to the realization of purchased Federal tax credits and a change in California tax law during the second quarter of 2025, which changes the way banks and financial institutions apportion income for California tax law purposes. The second quarter of 2025 income tax provision included a discrete charge of $379,000 resulting from this change in California tax law during the period. The effective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate for the 2024 reporting periods due in part to the realization of purchased Federal tax credits. The annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2025 is estimated to be in the range of 26% to 27%.

We have limited off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Previous report
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into financial commitments to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial commitments include commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, commercial and similar letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve varying degrees of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the ACL in the consolidated balance sheets. Such off-balance sheet commitments totaled $119.1 million as of September 30, 2025 and $175.5 million as of December 31, 2024.
Previous report
Our exposure to loan loss in the event of nonperformance on these financial commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments as we do for loans reflected in our financial statements.
Previous report
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each client’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.
Previous report
In addition, we invest in various affordable housing partnerships and Small Business Investment Company funds.

A sensitivity analysis of our ACL was performed as of September 30, 2025. Based on this sensitivity analysis, a 25% increase in the assumed prepayment speed on loans would result in a $903,000, or 2.01%, decrease to the ACL. A 25% decrease in the assumed prepayment speed on loans would result in a $1.1 million, or 2.52%, increase to the ACL. Additionally, a one percentage point increase in the unemployment rate would result in a $1.0 million, or 2.27%, increase to the ACL and a one percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate would result in a $942,000, or 2.10%, decrease to the ACL. Management reviews the results using the comparison scenario for sensitivity analysis and considers the results when evaluating the qualitative factor adjustments.

On a quarterly basis, we stress test our nine qualitative risk factors, which are categorized by lending policy, procedures and strategies; economic conditions; changes in nature and volume of the portfolio; credit and lending staff; problem loan trends; loan review results; collateral value; concentrations; and regulatory and business environment, by creating two scenarios, a moderate stress scenario and a major stress scenario. In the Moderate Stress scenario, the status of the nine risk factors across all pooled loan types were set at “High-Moderate Risk” while in the Major Stress scenario, the status of the nine risk factors across all pooled loan types were set at “Major Risk.” Under the Moderate Stress scenario, the ACL would increase by $10.7 million, or 23.78%, as of September 30, 2025. Under the Major Stress scenario, the ACL would increase by $30.6 million, or 68.18%, as of September 30, 2025. Management compared the stress test results to our internal forecasts for earnings and capital and has concluded that the Company would remain well-capitalized under these stressed scenarios.

We operate as a minority depository institution ("MDI"), which is defined by the FDIC as a federally insured depository institution where 51% or more of the voting stock is owned by minority individuals or a majority of the board of directors is minority and the community that the institution serves is predominantly minority. A MDI is eligible to receive support from the FDIC and other federal regulatory agencies such as training, technical assistance and review of proposed new deposit taking and lending programs, and the adoption of applicable policies and procedures governing such programs. We intend to maintain our MDI designation, as it is expected that at least 51% of our issued and outstanding shares of capital shall remain owned by minority individuals. The MDI designation has been historically beneficial to us, and we continue to use the program for technical assistance.

Net income for the third quarter of 2025 reflected higher net interest income, lower credit costs and a lower effective tax rate as compared to the prior quarter. Net income for the prior quarter included income from an Employee Retention Credit ("ERC") refund of $5.2 million (pre-tax), which was included in other income, offset partially by professional and advisory costs associated with filing and determining eligibility for the ERC totaling $1.2 million (pre-tax), which was included in legal and professional expense in our consolidated statements of income. There was no ERC income or related expenses for the third quarter of 2025.

As of September 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses totaled $45.4 million, down from $51.6 million at June 30, 2025. The $6.2 million decrease in the allowance for credit losses for the third quarter of 2025 was due to net charge-offs of $6.9 million, partially offset by a $625,000 provision for credit losses. The allowance for loan losses ("ALL") as a percentage of loans HFI decreased to 1.36% at September 30, 2025, compared to 1.58% at June 30, 2025, due mainly to net charge-offs of amounts included in specific reserves at June 30, 2025. The ALL as a percentage of nonperforming loans HFI was 98.70% at September 30, 2025, an increase from 89.79% at June 30, 2025.

The decrease in shareholders' equity for the third quarter of 2025 compared to the prior quarter was due mostly to common stock repurchases totaling $12.5 million and common stock cash dividends paid totaling $2.8 million, offset by net income of $10.1 million and lower net unrealized losses on available for sale securities of $1.6 million. The increase in shareholders' equity for the last twelve months was due to net income of $26.2 million, lower net unrealized losses on AFS securities of $1.6 million, and equity compensation activity of $2.2 million, partially offset by common stock repurchases totaling $14.0 million and common stock cash dividends paid totaling $11.4 million.

The net interest margin ("NIM") was 2.98% for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of 6 basis points from 2.92% for the second quarter of 2025. The NIM expansion included a 6 basis point increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets, combined with a 2 basis point decrease in the overall cost of funds. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased to 5.85% for the third quarter of 2025 from 5.79% for the second quarter of 2025 driven by a 9 basis point increase in the yield on average loans to 6.12%. Average loans represented 83% of average interest-earning assets in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to 84% in the second quarter of 2025.
Current wording
The net interest margin (“NIM”) increased 16 basis points to 3.15% for the first quarter of 2026, from 2.99% for the fourth quarter of 2025. The NIM increase included an 8 basis point increase in the yield on average total interest-earning assets and an 8 basis point decrease in the overall cost of funds. The yield on average total interest-earning assets increased to 5.86% for the first quarter of 2026 from 5.78% for the fourth quarter of 2025 due mostly to the impact of a 7 basis point increase in the yield on average loans and a 4 basis point increase from the FHLB special dividend. Average loans represented 84% of average interest-earning assets in the first quarter of 2026, which was unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2025.
Previous wording
Net interest income increased $4.7 million to $29.3 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $24.5 million for the third quarter of 2024. The increase in net interest income was due to an increase in interest income of $3.0 million, combined with a $1.8 million decrease in interest expense. The increase in interest income was primarily due to average interest-earning asset growth of $247.7 million, or 6.8%, as compared to the same quarter in 2024. The growth in average interest-earning assets included higher average total loans and securities available for sale, offset partially by a decrease in average cash and cash equivalents. The impact of higher average interest-earning assets on income was partially offset by lower market interest rates as compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in interest expense was driven largely by lower rates paid on interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of those interest-bearing deposits.
Current wording
Net interest income increased $4.3 million to $30.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $26.2 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase in net interest income was due to an increase in interest income of $4.5 million, offset by a $127,000 increase in interest expense. The increase in interest income was driven by loan growth as average total interest-earning assets were $252.1 million, or 6.8%, higher for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same quarter in 2025. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits, offset by lower rates paid on those deposits.
Previous wording
The $3.0 million increase in interest income was due mainly to a $2.8 million increase in interest income from average total loans, of which $3.3 million was attributed to higher average balances, offset by a $550,000 decrease due to lower rates. Average total loans were $3.2 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $175.6 million from the third quarter of 2024 due to strong loan growth in 2025. The yield on average total loans declined 1 basis point to 6.12% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 compared to 6.13% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Current wording
The $4.5 million increase in interest income was due mainly to a $4.3 million increase in interest income from average total loans, of which $3.3 million was attributed to higher average balances and $1.0 million was attributed to an increase in rates. Average total loans increased $216.9 million due to strong loan growth since the end of the first quarter of 2025. The yield on average total loans increased 13 basis points to 6.14% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to 6.01% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Previous wording
The $1.8 million decrease in interest expense was due mainly to a $2.9 million decrease in interest expense on deposits, partially offset by higher interest expense on FHLB advances of $1.2 million. The decrease in interest expense on deposits was primarily due to a 76 basis point decrease in the rates paid on average interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by the impact of a $193.7 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits. Interest expense on FHLB advances increased due mainly to a 234 basis point increase in the average rate paid on FHLB advances as $150 million of fixed rate term advances matured during the first quarter of 2025 and were replaced in the current rate environment.
Current wording
The $127,000 increase in interest expense was due mainly to higher interest expense on FHLB advances of $144,000 and an increase of $16,000 in interest expense on average interest-bearing deposits. Interest expense on FHLB advances increased due mainly to a 126 basis point increase in the average rate paid on FHLB advances as $150 million of fixed rate term advances matured during the first quarter of 2025 and were replaced in the higher rate environment, offset partially by the effect of the decrease in the average balance of outstanding FHLB advances. The increase in interest expense on average total interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to an increase of $281.6 million in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits, offset almost entirely by the impact of a 38 basis point decrease in the interest rate paid on total average interest-bearing deposits as deposits repriced in the current rate environment. The Federal Reserve lowered market interest rates 75 basis points since the end of the first quarter of 2025. The average overnight Federal Funds Rate was 3.64% for the first quarter of 2026 compared to 4.33% for the first quarter of 2025.
Previous wording
The NIM was 2.98% for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of 30 basis points from 2.68% for the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to a 45 basis point decrease in the total cost of funds to 3.12%, partially offset by a 9 basis point decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets to 5.85% for the third quarter of 2025 from 5.94% for the third quarter of 2024. The decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets was due mainly to lower market rates. The decrease in funding costs was due to the lower average cost of interest-bearing deposits in response to lower market rates, offset by the higher average cost for FHLB advances. Average noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $541.1 million, or 17% of total average deposits, for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $528.1 million, or 17% of total average deposits, for the third quarter of 2024.
Current wording
The NIM was 3.15% for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of 27 basis points from 2.88% for the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to a 19 basis point decrease in the total cost of funds to 2.96% combined with a 10 basis point increase in the yield on average total interest-earning assets to 5.86% for the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the rates for the first quarter of 2025. The increase in the yield on average total interest-earning assets was due mainly to an increase in loan rates, as well as the impact of the FHLB special dividend in the first quarter of 2026; there was no FHLB special dividend in 2025. The decrease in funding costs was due to the lower average total cost of interest-bearing deposits, offset by the higher average total cost for FHLB advances.

The table below shows our investment securities’ gross unrealized losses and estimated fair value by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The unrealized losses on these securities were primarily attributed to changes in interest rates. There was no ACL on the AFS or HTM securities portfolios as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. We monitor our securities portfolio to ensure that all our investments have adequate credit support and we consider the lowest credit rating for identification of potential impairment. The issuers of these securities have not, to our knowledge, evidenced any cause for default on these securities. As of September 30, 2025, all our investment securities in an unrealized loss position received an investment grade credit rating. These securities have fluctuated in value since their purchase dates as market rates have also fluctuated. However, we have the ability and the intention to hold these securities until their fair values recover to cost or until their respective maturity dates. As such, management does not deem these securities to be impaired under the current expected credit loss model. A summary of our analysis of these securities and the unrealized losses is described more fully in "Note 3 —* *Investment Securities" of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report. Economic trends may adversely affect the value of the portfolio of investment securities that we hold.

Individual loans considered to be uncollectible are charged off against the ACL. Factors used in determining the amount and timing of charge-offs on loans include consideration of the loan type, length of delinquency, sufficiency of collateral value, lien priority and the overall financial condition of the borrower. Loans deemed to be collateral-dependent are reviewed individually based on the estimated fair value of the collateral less selling costs. Collateral value is determined using appraisals and/or other market comparable information. Charge-offs are generally taken on loans when the loan balance is determined to be uncollectible. Recoveries on loans previously charged off are added to the ACL. Net charge-offs on an annualized basis represented 0.84% of average loans for the three months ended September 30, 2025, 0.54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 0.13% of average loans for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2025 were higher than the same period in the prior year; however, $6.6 million of the 2025 charge-offs were related to one loan relationship and were reserved for in prior periods.
