Current report
The following overview of our business has not materially changed since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Current report
Total deposits increased from $882,404,000 as of December 31, 2024 to $910,527,000 on June 30, 2025, an increase of 3.19%. This growth was largely driven by the reversal of our one-way Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) placements—initiated at year-end 2024 to manage balance sheet size—which returned to our books early in 2025. We continue to utilize the reciprocal portion of the ICS program for customers requiring full FDIC insurance (where those balances remain on our balance sheet as brokered deposits), and may re-deploy the non-reciprocal option again as market conditions warrant.
Current report
Investment in federal agencies (Federal Reserve and FHLBA) stock totaled $1,461,000 at June 30, 2025, compared with $1,454,000 at December 31, 2024. Both Federal Reserve and FHLBA stock are restricted securities; their value for impairment evaluation is based on ultimate par value recoverability rather than temporary market declines.
Current report
In June 2020, Financial issued $10,050,000 in notes pursuant to a private placement. The notes bore interest at 3.25% per annum and matured on June 30, 2025. As discussed in Note 4, at maturity, Financial paid the notes in full. Financial expects to save approximately $327,000 annually in interest expense as a result of retiring this debt.
Current report
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported net income of $2,704,000 and $3,546,000, respectively, compared with net income of $2,148,000 and $4,335,000 for the same periods in 2024. This represents an increase of $556,000, or 25.9%, for the three-month period and a decrease of $789,000, or 18.2%, for the six-month period. Basic and diluted earnings per common share were each $0.60 and $0.78 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $0.47 and $0.95 for the same periods ended June 30, 2024.
Current report
The increase in net income in the three months ended June 30, 2025 from the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily driven by higher net interest income, credit loss recoveries and lower interest expense, and was partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense and a modest decline innoninterest income. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from the six months ended June 30, 2024 was driven primarily by an approximately $1,000,000 fee paid in the first quarter of 2025 to a consultant for services rendered in negotiating a contract with our core services provider. The following provides a more detailed analysis of the components that impacted net income for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, as compared with the same periods in 2024:
Current report
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, net interest income increased to $8,250,000 and $15,969,000 from $7,091,000 and $14,041,000 for the same periods in 2024, reflecting growth in the loan portfolio, higher yields on earning assets and an 11.9% decline in total interest expense.
Current report
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a credit loss recovery of $528,000 compared to a credit loss recovery of $123,000 for the same period in 2024, positively impacting net income. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, credit loss recoveries decreased to $391,000 compared with $676,000 for the same period in 2024.
Current report
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, noninterest expense increased to $9,455,000 and $19,281,000 from $8,739,000 and $16,827,000 for the same periods in 2024, driven by higher professional fees and continued investments in technology and customer-facing systems.
Current report
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, noninterest income declined to $4,075,000 from $4,191,000 for the same period in 2024, primarily reflecting lower other income and the absence of gains on sales of available-for-sale securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, noninterest income increased to $7,358,000 from $7,498,000 for the same period in 2024, driven by higher gains on sales of loans held for sale and increased wealth management fees, partially offset by lower other income and the absence of securities gains.
Current report
These operating results represent an annualized return on average stockholders’ equity of 15.89% and 10.81% for the three and six‐month periods ended June 30, 2025, compared with 14.35% and 14.60% for the three and six‐month periods ended June 30, 2024. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from the comparable 2024 period was due primarily to higher net income and relatively stable average equity, while the decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2025, versus the first six months of
Current report
$451,000) and the absence of any gains on sales of available-for-sale securities (versus $40,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024). These decreases were partially offset by increases in:
Current report
Gains on sale of loans held for sale (primarily through the Mortgage Division), which increased to $1,589,000 and $2,426,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, from $1,273,000 and $2,200,000 for the same periods in 2024.
Current report
Wealth management fees, which rose to $1,300,000 and $2,555,000 from $1,176,000 and $2,339,000.
Current report
Life insurance income, which grew to $190,000 and $378,000 from $183,000 and $342,000.
Current report
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, service charges, fees and commissions were $975,000 and $1,956,000, compared with $986,000 and $1,939,000 for the same periods in 2024, reflecting essentially flat growth year over year. Other noninterest income declined to $21,000 and $43,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, from $533,000 and $638,000 in the comparable 2024 periods.
Current report
Management anticipates that the amended core-service provider contract, with its 65-month term beginning April 1, 2025, will generate significant cost savings—projected at over $40,000 per month over the life of the agreement—as compared to our previous arrangement.
Current report
As part of our regular model governance cycle, we worked with our external CECL vendor in the second quarter of 2025 to update several inputs in our discounted cash flow models including the following: raising certain loss-rate ceilings, incorporating post-pandemic loss history, and updating prepayment and curtailment expectations. While these refinements better align the models with current credit conditions, they also shifted the quarter’s allowance calculation from what would otherwise have been a charge to earnings to a net recovery. Absent the new assumptions, management estimates that a small provision would have been required, rather than the recovery recognized this quarter. Management will continue to review model performance each quarter and make adjustments as appropriate.

Previous report
Total deposits increased from $882,404,000 as of December 31, 2024 to $911,683,000 on March 31, 2025, an increase of 3.32%. This growth was due in large part to a strategic change in our use of the Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) program at the beginning of 2025. In December 2024, we initiated participation in the ICS one-way (non-reciprocal) deposit sweep program to manage our balance sheet size. Under the one-way ICS option, certain customer deposit balances were placed with other banks through the ICS network (providing those customers full FDIC insurance coverage) instead of being held on our balance sheet. This temporary off-loading of deposits via ICS resulted in lower reported deposits at year-end 2024. At the start of 2025, we reversed the transactions, which resulted in the return of funds back onto our balance sheet. The return of these funds accounted for the majority of the first quarter deposit increase. We continue to utilize the reciprocal portion of the ICS program (which we had participated in prior to late 2024) for customers requiring full insurance coverage, as reciprocal ICS deposits remain on our balance sheet (though they are classified as brokered deposits for regulatory purposes) and may use the non-reciprocal program again in the future.

The subsegments of the loan portfolio of the segments shown above are set forth in Note 8 of our financial statements.
Previous report
Financial’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLBA) stock totaled$671,900 as of March 31, 2025, compared to$671,800 as of December 31, 2024. FHLBA stock is generally viewed as a long-term investment. Because there is no market for the stock other than other Federal Home Loan Banks or member institutions, FHLBA stock is considered a restricted security. Therefore, when evaluating FHLBA stock for impairment, its value is based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than recognizing temporary declines in value.
Previous report
Financial had net income including all operating segments of $842,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $2,187,000 for the comparable period in 2024. Basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $0.19, compared to $0.48 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Previous report
The decrease in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year period, was primarily driven by a significant increase in noninterest expense and along with a notable change in the provision for credit losses. Noninterest expense rose by $1,738,000, or 21.5%, from the prior year period, largely due to a non-recurring fee paid to a consultant we engaged to help negotiate a contract with our core provider of approximately $1,000,000 in the first quarter of 2025. Furthermore, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $137,000 in the first quarter of 2025, as compared to a recovery of credit losses of $553,000 that was recorded in the first quarter of 2024. A slight decrease in noninterest income also contributed to the overall decline in net income.
Previous report
These negative factors were partially offset by an increase in net interest income. Net interest income increased by $769,000, or 11.1%, to $7,719,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $6,950,000 in the comparable 2024 period. This increase was the result of higher interest income, primarily from growth in the loan portfolio and increased yields on earning assets, combined with a slight decrease in total interest expense.

Total assets were $1,011,726,000 on March 31, 2025 compared with $979,244,000 at December 31, 2024, an increase of 3.32%. The increase in total assets was primarily due to increases in cash, Fed funds sold, securities available-for-sale, loans, net of the allowance for credit losses, loans held for sale, and, to a lesser extent, the cash value of bank-owned life insurance.
Current wording
Total assets were $1,004,242,000 on June 30, 2025 compared with $979,244,000 at December 31, 2024, an increase of 2.56%.

Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased to $649,409,000 on March 31, 2025 from $643,596,000 on December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to increases in commercial real estate and consumer loans, and was offset in part by a decrease in commercial, and to a lesser extent, residential loans. These decrease were due to payoffs and normal amortization of loans. Loans, excluding loans held for sale and net of deferred fees and costs and including the allowance for credit losses, increased to $642,388,000 on March 31, 2025 from $636,552,000 on December 31, 2024, an increase of 0.92%.

This increase was primarily due to higher balances in commercial loans (up $4,092,000), commercial real estate (up $6,936,000), and consumer loan categories (up $2,307,000), partially offset by decreases in residential loan portfolios (down $1,534,000).

As of March 31, 2025, non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans totaled$156,852,000, or 24.07% of total loans. This amount was calculated by purpose code and it is consistent with the Call Report that the Bank files with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank has minimal exposure to loans secured by large office buildings or shopping centers, which comprise less than 5% of the non-owner occupied commercial real estate portfolio. The majority of the Bank’s non-owner occupied commercial loans are secured by smaller, multi-tenant properties diversified across various industries and geographies within our market areas.

We have a thorough loan origination process. For all CRE loans secured by real estate collateral, we require an appraisal or valuation at the time we originate the loan. We generally do not approve loans that have a loan-to-value ratio exceeding 80%. We perform an individual property cash flow analysis and, if appropriate, a global cash flow analysis at origination and generally require a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.2x.

Total nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, and OREO, were $1,798,000 on March 31, 2025 compared with$1,640,000 on December 31, 2024. Because we had no OREO on either March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024, the nonperforming assets consist entirely of nonperforming loans.

Previous wording
As discussed in more detail below under “Results of Operations—Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses,” management has provided for any anticipated losses on these loans in the allowance for credit losses. Loan payments received on nonaccrual loans are first applied to principal. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status there are several negative implications. First, all interest accrued but unpaid at the time of the classification is reversed and deducted from the interest income totals for the Bank. Second, accruals of interest are discontinued until it becomes certain that both principal and interest can be repaid. Third, there may be actual losses that necessitate additional provisions for credit losses charged against earnings.

While we have not experienced any unusual pressure on our deposit balances or our liquidity position, management continues to closely monitor our sources and uses of funds to meet our cash flow requirements while attempting to maximize profits. The Company’s total uninsured deposits, which are the amount of deposits, subject to aggregation rules, that exceed the FDIC insurance limit (currently $250,000), were approximately$241,832,000, or 26.53% of our total deposits, at March 31, 2025.

At March 31, 2025, the Bank had a leverage ratio of approximately 9.12%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and a CET1 ratio of approximately 11.84%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of approximately 12.75%. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank’s regulatory capital levels exceeded those established for well-capitalized institutions. The following table sets forth the minimum capital requirements and the Bank’s capital position as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
Current wording
At June 30, 2025, the Bank had a leverage ratio of 8.85%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 11.38%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.19%. As of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank’s regulatory capital levels exceeded those established for well-capitalized institutions. The Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio decreased from December 31, 2024, primarily because the Bank made a dividend payment to Financial of $5,000,000 in June 2025, which Financial applied towards the retirement of approximately $10,050,000 in debt at maturity. This decrease was mitigated by net income of $3,546,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Previous wording
The above tables set forth the capital position and analysis for the Bank only. Because total assets on a consolidated basis are less than $3,000,000,000, Financial is not subject to the consolidated capital requirements imposed by the Bank Holding Company Act. Consequently, Financial does not calculate its financial ratios on a consolidated basis. If calculated, the capital ratios for the Company on a consolidated basis at March 31, 2025 would be lower than those of the Bank because a portion of proceeds from the sale of notes previously issued by the holding company were contributed to the Bank as equity.

Previous wording
In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board approved a final rule establishing a regulatory capital framework for smaller, less complex financial institutions. The rule was fully implemented on January 1, 2019 and implemented a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%. As a result, the Bank is required to have a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total assets of 4.00% (exclusive of the capital conservation buffer), a minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 7.0% (inclusive of the capital conservation buffer), and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.5% (inclusive of the capital conservation buffer). Failure to maintain the capital conservation buffer will limit the ability of the Bank and Financial to pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay discretionary bonuses. The rule also raised the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4% to 6% and includes a minimum leverage ratio of 4% for all banking organizations.
