This included the repurchase of 2.7 million shares in the first quarter, 8.8 million in the second quarter, and 2.2 million in the third quarter. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $114.5 million remaining under the stock repurchase authorization. For further information on the stock repurchase program, see Note 15.

The Company also recognized a loss of $0.4 million on the loans sold. As of September 30, 2025, $180.9 million of loans remained to be sold relating to the strategic loan sale.
Current report
•Total revenue of $287.7 million increased over 5% and pre-tax pre-provision income(1) of $102.0 million increased 17% from the second quarter of 2025 driven by strong net interest income growth, margin expansion, and continued expense discipline.
Current report
•Net interest margin increased by 12 basis points from the previous quarter to 3.22% driven by a higher average yield on loans and leases increasing by 12 basis points and lower cost of funds decreasing by 5 basis points.
Current report
•Noninterest-bearing deposits of $7.6 billion increased 9% annualized from the previous quarter. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 28% of total deposits at the end of the third quarter, up from 27% at the end of the second quarter.
Current report
•Liquidated $263.5 million of held for sale commercial real estate loans through strategic loan sales and payoffs.
Current report
•Credit quality metrics remained stable with 4% reduction in criticized loans from the previous quarter. The allowance for credit losses ratio increased to 1.12%, up from 1.07% in the previous quarter.
Current report
•Noninterest expense of $185.7 million remained flat from the previous quarter resulting in an efficiency ratio(1) decrease to 62.05% from 65.50% in the previous quarter.
Current report
•An increase of $0.9 million in interest income from deposits in financial institutions driven mainly by higher average balances and a higher day count, partially offset by lower interest rates.
Current report
The average total cost of funds was 2.37% for the third quarter, down 5 basis points from 2.42% for the second quarter, driven primarily by lower deposit and borrowing costs and a favorable shift in the funding mix. Brokered deposits decreased as strong customer deposit inflows in the third quarter were used to reduce higher-cost funding sources. As a result, the average total cost of deposits decreased by 5 basis points to 2.08% from 2.13% in the second quarter, while the average cost of borrowings declined by 17 basis points to 4.76%.
Current report
Average total deposits decreased by$12.9 million, with a $112.1 million decrease in average interest-bearing deposits partially offset by a$99.2 million increase in average noninterest-bearing deposits. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 28.2% of average total deposits in the third quarter, up from 27.8% in the second quarter.
Current report
The third quarter provision for loan losses and unfunded commitments reflected changes in loan risk ratings, new originations, changes in the macroeconomic outlook, and higher unfunded commitments, partially offset by net recoveries and lower qualitative reserve driven primarily by lower balances in commercial real estate loans secured by office properties compared to the second quarter.
Current report
Noninterest income increased by $52.4 million to $100.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $48.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 . The prior year period included a $59.9 million loss on the sale of $742 million of securities executed as part of a balance sheet repositioning initiative, which was partially offset by a $9.0 million decrease in leased equipment income, as the prior year benefited from higher gains from early lease terminations and sale of leased assets.
Current report
Noninterest expense remained relatively flat at$185.7 million for the third quarter compared to$185.9 million for the second quarter.
Current report
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant tax reform provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the restoration of immediate deductions of certain capital asset additions. While our initial evaluation indicates these tax law changes will not materially impact the Company’s future effective tax rate, we will continue to monitor any additional changes and relevant guidance, and to assess any potential impact to our financial statements.
Current report
HTM securities remained relatively flat at$2.3 billion at both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Current report
In the second quarter of 2025, the Company commenced a strategic loan sale process and transferred $506.7 million of loans to held for sale. While many of the loans in the sale portfolio are adequately collateralized, they possess credit characteristics or risk attributes that have contributed to credit migration, and accordingly, the Company commenced the sales process for these loans.
Current report
During the third quarter of 2025, the Company sold $207.9 million of these loans that had been transferred to held for sale, and $55.6 million of such loans were repaid prior to sale. Sold loans consisted of $174.9 million in commercial real estate construction loans, $20.4 million in multi-family loans, and $12.2 million in commercial real estate mortgage loans. These loan sales met the requisite criteria to be accounted for as sales in accordance with ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing. In connection with the sale, the Company recognized a loss of $0.4 million on the loans sold. As of September 30, 2025, $180.9 million of loans remained classified as held for sale under the strategic loan sale initiative.
Current report
Loans Held for Sale
Current report
The ACL on loans and leases, which includes the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, totaled $270.7 million, or 1.12% of total loans and leases, at September 30, 2025, compared to $268.4 million, or 1.13% of total loans and leases, at December 31, 2024. The $2.3 million increase in the allowance was driven was primarily driven by ACL provision expense of $58.1 million partially offset by net charge off activity totaling $55.8 million including the charge-offs associated with the transfer of loans to held for sale in the second quarter.
Current report
As of September 30, 2025, criticized loans and leases decreased by $391.3 million, or 24%, from December 31, 2024, driven by special mention loans and leases decreasing by 54% to 2.10% of total loans and leases held for investment, down from 4.61%. This improvement was partially offset by classified loans and leases increasing during the same period by 36% to 3.17% of total loans and leases, up from 2.37%, largely due to a risk rating framework update implemented within the Venture Banking loan portfolio. Classified loans and leases also included a $49.6 million commercial real estate loan which became classified in the third quarter of 2025. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the borrower entered into a contract to sell the underlying property at a price above our loan amount. The sale is expected to close in the fourth quarter.

Previous report

Previous report
•A decrease of $2.1 million in interest income from deposits in financial institutions driven mainly by a lower average balance as cash was utilized to fund strong loan growth.
Previous report
•An increase of $1.6 million in interest expense on our borrowings driven primarily by a higher average balance to support loan funding activity and higher day count.
Previous report
The average total cost of funds remained flat at 2.42% for the second quarter. The average cost of borrowings decreased by 41 basis points to 4.93%, driven by the redemption of $174 million of 5.25% Senior Notes and replacement with lower-cost long-term Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco ("FHLB") borrowings at a weighted average rate of 3.81%. The average cost of deposits increased slightly to 2.13% from 2.12%. Average deposits increased by$384.0 million, with a $515.0 million increase in interest-bearing deposits, offset partially by a$130.9 million decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits as the need to fund strong loan growth drove a mix shift towards interest-bearing deposits. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 27.8% of average total deposits in the second quarter and 28.7% in the first quarter.

This was offset partially by:
Previous report
Noninterest income increased by $2.7 million to $66.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $63.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 due mainly to increases of $4.0 million in other income and $2.8 million in commissions and fees, offset partially by decreases of $2.2 million in leased equipment income and $2.0 million in dividends and gains on equity investments. The increase in other income was due mainly to a $2.6 million increase in the fair value mark on the credit-linked notes and a $1.1 million increase in gain on termination of leases. The increase in commissions and fees was due principally to higher loan-related fee income and higher customer service fees. The decrease in dividends and gains on equity investments was due mostly to lower fair value net gains in the first half of 2025 on SBIC investments compared to the same period in 2024.
Previous report
Noninterest expense increased by$2.2 million to$185.9 million for the second quarter from$183.7 million for the first quarter due mainly to increases of$2.1 million in insurance and assessments and$1.9 million in compensation expense, offset partially by a decrease of$2.0 million in information technology and data processing expenses. Insurance assessments increased mainly due to lower FDIC assessment and FDIC expense true-ups in the first quarter. Compensation expense increased mainly driven by higher incentive and equity compensation reversals related to staff exits in the prior quarter. Information technology and data processing decreased mainly driven by lower software subscription costs and certain expense true-ups.
Previous report
HTM securities increased by$10.6 million to$2.3 billion at June 30, 2025 compared to$2.3 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the accretion of$16.7 million of the remaining unrealized losses balance deferred in other comprehensive income ("OCI") from a prior transfer of securities from AFS to HTM on June 1, 2022, and the release of$0.8 million in credit loss reserve, offset partially by$6.3 million of net amortization and $0.6 million of principal paydowns.
Previous report
During the quarter, the total ACL decreased when compared to the previous quarter which was driven by a decrease in the quantitative reserve that was partially offset by an increase in the qualitative reserves. The primary drivers behind lower quantitative reserves was the sale or reclassification of more than $500 million of loans to held for sale during the quarter and net charge-off activity. The decrease in quantitative reserves was partially offset by updates to the macro-economic forecast, including the scenario weighting, and higher qualitative reserves. Growth in the loans held for investment portfolio during the quarter was primarily in portfolios with lower expected credit losses, such as warehouse lending, equity fund loans, and lender finance, while portfolios requiring higher reserves, such as commercial real estate and commercial construction, have lower overall balances.

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company commenced a strategic loan sale process, reclassifying approximately $506.7 million of loans as held for sale. As of June 30, 2025, $30.5 million of these loans had been sold, while the remaining $476.2 million were transferred to held for sale at a lower of cost or market value of $441.2 million.
