Previous wording

General. Total assets increased $17.9 million, or 1.2%, to $1.5 billion at March 31, 2025 from December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily the result of a $17.0 million, or 1.5%, increase in loans and leases, net of allowance for credit losses, to $1.2 billion, partially offset by a $2.7 million, or 1.0%, decrease in investment securities to $259.0 million at March 31, 2025.

Current wording

General. Total assets increased $2.9 million, or 0.2%, to $1.5 billion at June 30, 2025 from December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily the result of a $9.0 million, or 0.8%, increase in loans and leases, net of allowance for credit losses, to $1.2 billion, and a $5.5 million, or 25.1%, increase in cash and cash equivalents to $27.2 million.

The $2.1 million, or 0.8%, decrease in investment securities available for sale was primarily due to maturities and principal repayments of $4.5 million, partially offset by a $1.6 million upward mark-to-market adjustment on the investment portfolio and purchases of securities of $1.0 million. The decrease in investment securities held to maturity was the result of scheduled principal repayments and maturities. The proceeds received from the maturities and repayments were primarily used to fund loan growth.

The $8.8 million, or 3.4%, decrease in investment securities available for sale was primarily due to maturities and principal repayments of $8.9 million and $6.8 million in sales of securities, partially offset by a $3.0 million upward mark-to-market adjustment on the investment portfolio resulting from lower market interest rates and purchases of securities totaling $4.3 million. The $566,000 decrease in investment securities held to maturity was the result of scheduled principal repayments and maturities.

The increase in loans and leases was attributable to increases in multi-family, commercial real estate, and commercial and industrial loans of $25.6 million, $15.8 million, and $10.2 million, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a $32.6 million decrease in construction and development loans.

Previous wording

Nonaccrual loans and leases totaled $5.3 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $5.1 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in nonaccrual loans and leases reflects a $250,000 increase in nonaccrual direct financing leases. Accruing loans and leases past due 90 days or more totaled $1.7 million at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Nonperforming loans and leases, consisting of nonaccrual loans and leases and accruing loans and leases 90 days or more past due, totaled $7.0 million, or 0.59% of total loans and leases, at March 31, 2025, compared to $6.8 million, or 0.58% of total loans and leases, at December 31, 2024.

Current wording

Nonaccrual loans and leases totaled $5.6 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $5.1 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $530,000 increase in nonaccrual direct financing leases, which increased to $564,000 from $34,000. Accruing loans and leases past due 90 days or more totaled $2.5 million and $1.7 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The increase in accruing loans past due 90 days or more was primarily due to one commercial real estate loan of $704,000. At June 30, 2025, this loan had a loan to value ratio of 79.1%, and was largely guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA"). Nonperforming loans and leases, consisting of nonaccrual loans and leases and accruing loans and leases 90 days or more past due, totaled $8.1 million, or 0.68% of total loans and leases, at June 30, 2025, compared to $6.8 million, or 0.58% of total loans and leases, at December 31, 2024.

Previous wording

Allowance for Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases increased $287,000, or 1.8%, to $16.1 million at March 31, 2025 from December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025, the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases totaled 1.35% of total loans and leases outstanding. The increase in the allowance was primarily due to changes in portfolio composition, primarily growth in commercial real estate, multi-family, and commercial and industrial loans, which generally carry higher reserve requirements relative to other segments. In addition, updated economic forecasts, including expectations for slowing GDP growth and rising unemployment, contributed to a more cautious provisioning approach. At December 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases totaled $15.8 million, or 1.34% of total loans and leases outstanding. Net charge-offs during the first three months of 2025 totaled $395,000, and were primarily attributable to direct financing leases, compared to net charge-offs of $324,000 during the first three months of 2024.

Current wording

Allowance for Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases increased $428,000, or 2.7%, to $16.2 million at June 30, 2025 from December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases totaled 1.37% of total loans and leases outstanding. The increase in the allowance was primarily due to changes in portfolio composition, primarily growth in commercial real estate, multi-family, and commercial and industrial loans, which generally carry higher reserve requirements relative to other segments. In addition, updated economic forecasts, including expectations for slowing GDP growth and rising unemployment, contributed to a more cautious provisioning approach. At December 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases totaled $15.8 million, or 1.34% of total loans and leases outstanding. Net charge-offs during the first half of 2025 totaled $1.0 million, and were primarily attributable to direct financing leases, compared to net charge-offs of $774,000 during the first half of 2024.

Previous wording

Other Assets. Other assets decreased $843,000, or 3.7%, to $21.6 million at March 31, 2025 from $22.5 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily caused by a reduction in the Company's deferred tax asset, which resulted from an upward mark-to-market adjustment on the available-for-sale investment portfolio due to a reduction in market rates of interest, thereby reducing unrealized losses previously reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL").

Current wording

Other Assets. Other assets decreased $1.6 million, or 7.2%, to $20.9 million at June 30, 2025 from $22.5 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily caused by a reduction in the Company's deferred tax asset, reflecting lower unrealized losses in the available for sale investment portfolio following a decline in market rates.

Previous wording

Deposits. Total deposits increased $11.7 million, or 1.1%, to $1.1 billion at March 31, 2025 from December 31, 2024. The increase in deposits primarily was due to an increase in brokered time deposits of $7.2 million, which were used to fund loan demand, retail (non-brokered) time deposits of $4.2 million, and interest-bearing demand deposits of $6.9 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in noninterest-bearing accounts of $6.8 million. Brokered deposits totaled $264.8 million, or 23.9% of total deposits, at March 31, 2025, compared to $257.6 million, or 23.5% of total deposits, at December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025, noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $103.4 million, or 9.3% of total deposits, compared to $110.1 million, or 10.1% of total deposits, at December 31, 2024. Management attributes the shift in funds from transaction accounts to retail certificates of deposit to customers taking advantage of higher rates being paid on time deposits as a result of interest rate hikes enacted by the Federal Reserve.

Current wording

Deposits. Total deposits increased $2.4 million, or 0.2%, to $1.1 billion at June 30, 2025 from December 31, 2024. The increase in deposits primarily was due to an increase in interest-bearing demand deposits of $12.0 million, and retail (non-brokered) time deposits of $10.5 million. These increases were partially offset by decreases in brokered time deposits of $18.1 million, and noninterest-bearing accounts of $3.9 million. Brokered deposits totaled $239.5 million, or 21.8% of total deposits, at June 30, 2025, compared to $257.6 million, or 23.5% of total deposits, at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $106.2 million, or 9.7% of total deposits, compared to $110.1 million, or 10.1% of total deposits, at December 31, 2024. Management attributes the shift from transaction accounts to time deposits to customer demand for higher yields, as financial institutions continue to offer competitive rates on certificates of deposit in response to elevated market rate levels during late 2024. Although the Federal Reserve began lowering rates in late 2024, deposit pricing remains responsive to competitive pressures and customer preferences for rate certainty.

The decrease in stockholders' equity resulted from the payment of $1.5 million in dividends to Company stockholders and the repurchase of $4.2 million of Company common stock, partially offset by net income of $2.0 million and a decrease in AOCL of $1.3 million. The decrease in AOCL was a result of improved fair values in the Company's available for sale investment portfolio, resulting from a reduction in market rates of interest. At December 31, 2024, the available for sale portfolio had a net unrealized loss of $58.0 million compared to a net unrealized loss of $56.4 million at March 31, 2025. The AOCL impact to equity, after tax affecting the unrealized loss, was $44.5 million at March 31, 2025 compared to $45.8 million at December 31, 2024. The Company repurchased 324,696 shares of Company common stock at an average price of $13.04 per share for a total of $4.2 million during the first three months of 2025.

The decrease in AOCL was a result of improved fair values in the Company's available for sale investment portfolio, resulting from a reduction in market rates of interest.

Diluted earnings per share were $0.20 for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $0.23 diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in net income primarily was the result of a $548,000 increase in the provision for credit losses and a $315,000 increase in noninterest expense, partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $425,000 and an increase of $33,000 in noninterest income.

A provision for credit losses of $731,000 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a provision for credit losses of $183,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net charge-offs during the first quarter of 2025 were $395,000, compared to $324,000 in the first quarter of 2024. The provision for credit losses during the quarter was primarily due to loan growth in the commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loan portfolios, which generally carry higher estimated loss rates compared to other segments. Additionally, the provision reflected replenishment of the allowance following charge-offs and was influenced by changes in the macroeconomic forecast, including a modest deterioration in projected economic indicators such as national GDP and unemployment rates.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $1.0 million, or 5.0%, to $21.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Interest expense on deposits increased $589,000, or 3.9%, to $15.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from the comparable period in 2024. The increase in interest expense on deposits primarily was attributable to a $24.2 million increase in the average balance of, and a five basis point increase in the average rate paid on, interest-bearing deposits. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 3.16% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 3.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits was $992.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $968.2 million in the comparable period in 2024. The increase in interest-bearing deposit balances and rates reflects ongoing competitive pressures for deposits, as well as a continued shift in customer preferences from non-maturity deposit products into higher-yielding time deposits. Interest expense on FHLB borrowings increased $420,000, or 8.2%, to $5.5 million in the first half of 2025 compared to $5.1 million for the same period in 2024, due to an increase in the average rate paid on FHLB borrowings of 30 basis points. The average rate paid on FHLB borrowings was 4.13% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 3.83% for the first half of 2024.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses increased $425,000, or 4.3%, to $10.3 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $9.8 million for the first quarter of 2024. This increase was due to a six basis point increase in the average interest rate spread, partially offset by an $8.0 million decrease in average net earning assets. The improved spread reflects a favorable shift in asset yields outpacing the increase in funding costs, as loans and investment securities repriced or were originated at higher market rates. The modest decline in average net earning assets was primarily the result of lower average balances of investment securities, as management actively redeployed excess liquidity toward higher-yielding loan production.

Current wording

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses increased $1.6 million, or 8.3%, to $21.0 million for the first six months of 2025, compared to $19.4 million for the first six months of 2024. This increase was due to an 18 basis point increase in the average interest rate spread, partially offset by a decrease of $827,000 in average net earning assets. The improved spread reflects a favorable shift in asset yields outpacing the increase in funding costs, as loans and investment securities repriced or were originated at higher market rates. The modest decline in average net earning assets was primarily the result of higher average balances of interest-bearing deposits.

Previous wording

Net interest margin (annualized) was 2.79% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 2.74% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in net interest margin primarily was due to the yield on interest-earning assets increasing faster than the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. This margin expansion was supported by growth in higher-yielding asset categories, particularly commercial and multi-family loans.

Current wording

Net interest margin (annualized) was 2.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2.69% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Previous wording

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $33,000, or 3.0%, to $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same quarter in 2024. The increase resulted primarily from increases in other income and service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by decreases in net gains on loan and lease sales and loan and lease servicing fees. Other income increased $41,000, or 12.9%, to $360,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to $319,000 for the comparable quarter in 2024 due to increased wealth management income. Service fees on deposit accounts increased $23,000, or 8.4%, in the first quarter of 2025 from the comparable quarter in 2024, due to year-over-year deposit growth. Partially offsetting these increases were modest declines in net gains on loan and lease sales and loan and lease servicing fees, reflecting lower mortgage banking activity and a decrease in the servicing portfolio. Card fee income also increased slightly, rising $8,000, or 2.9%, to $298,000.

Current wording

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income remained relatively flat for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, totaling $2.2 million for both periods.

Service fees on deposit accounts increased $23,000, or 4.0%, in the first half of 2025 from the comparable period in 2024, due to year-over-year deposit growth. Card fee income increased $43,000, or 7.2%, to $634,000. Offsetting these increases was an increase in net losses on sales of securities of $95,000 for the first half of 2025 compared to the first half of 2024. Additionally, decreases were recognized in net gains on loan and lease sales of $13,000, or 6.3%, and loan and lease servicing fees of $11,000, or 4.1%.

Legal and professional fees increased $98,000, or 22.7%, driven by elevated consulting and advisory services during the quarter. Deposit insurance expense decreased $64,000, or 15.9%, primarily due to changes in the Company's asset and deposit mix. Data processing fees decreased $21,000, or 2.3%, to $902,000, primarily due to lower core processing and software-related costs.
