SECOND QUARTER INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW

Overview

Net income for second quarter 2025 was $3.0 million or $0.84 per share. This is an increase of $508,000 or $0.14 per share over first quarter 2025 and is attributed to higher net interest income and lower noninterest expenses. Return on average assets was 0.91% and return on average equity was 12.81%.

Net Interest Income

For second quarter 2025, net interest income totaled $10.5 million, an increase of $1.1 million from first quarter 2025, as interest income increased by $548,000 and interest expense declined by $535,000. The increase in interest income resulted from growth of $21.8 million in loans held for investment. In addition, second quarter 2025 interest income included the recovery of nonaccrual interest and fees totaling $601,000 from the resolution of two nonperforming loan relationships. The decrease in interest expense was due to lower average balances in time deposits. The Bank’s net interest margin increased by 33 basis points to 3.48% on a linked-quarter basis as the earning asset yield grew by 13 basis points to 5.56%, while the cost of funds declined 19 basis points to 2.11%.

Provision for Credit Losses

During second quarter 2025, the Bank recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.2 million, an increase from the net recovery of credit losses of $104,000 recorded in first quarter 2025. The portion of the provision related to loans outstanding was $1.1 million and resulted from loan growth of $21.8 million, the addition of $610,000 in reserves on individually analyzed loans, net charge-offs of $532,000, and adjustments to the Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans (“ACLL”) model. During the quarter, the portion of the provision related to unfunded commitments was $105,000.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $2.8 million for second quarter 2025, a decrease of $55,000 from first quarter 2025.

Combined, remaining noninterest income categories declined $35,000.

Noninterest expenses totaled $8.7 million for second quarter 2025, compared to $9.5 million in first quarter 2025, a decrease of $812,000. Salary expense decreased by $423,000, largely due to higher commissions paid in the first quarter 2025 related to wealth management and mortgage income and increased bonus accruals.
