For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported net income of $72.0 million, or $0.55 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $64.0 million, or $0.49 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income increased $5.4 million to $187.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $181.7 million for the trailing quarter. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to originations of new loans at current market rates and the favorable repricing of adjustable rate loans, partially offset by a decrease in average lower-costing deposits and an increase in average borrowings.

The Company’s net interest margin increased two basis points to 3.36% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, from 3.34% for the trailing quarter. The weighted average yield on interest-earning assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 increased five basis points to 5.68%, compared to the trailing quarter.

The benefit to the provision for credit losses on loans in the quarter was primarily attributable to an improved economic forecast and an overall improvement in the Company's asset quality, partially offset by an increase in specific reserves required on individually analyzed loans. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net charge-offs totaled $1.2 million, or an annualized three basis points of average loans, compared with net charge-offs of $2.0 million, or an annualized four basis points of average loans for the trailing quarter.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, non-interest income totaled $27.1 million, an increase of $45,000, compared to the trailing quarter. Fee income increased $1.1 million to $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the trailing quarter, primarily due to increases in deposit related and loan prepayment fee income, combined with an increase in non-deposit investment fee income. BOLI income increased $493,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the trailing quarter, primarily due to greater equity valuations and an increase in benefit claims recognized. Partially offsetting these increases in non-interest income, insurance agency income decreased $709,000 to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the trailing quarter, mainly due to the receipt of contingent commissions in the prior quarter, partially offset by additional business activity in the current quarter. Wealth management income decreased $380,000 to $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the trailing quarter, mainly due to a decrease in the average market value of assets under management during the period. Additionally, other income decreased $353,000 to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the trailing quarter, primarily due to a decrease in profit on fixed asset sales.

Non-interest expense totaled $114.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.7 million, compared to $116.3 million for the trailing quarter. Other operating expenses decreased $1.9 million to $14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $16.4 million for the trailing quarter, primarily due to a prior quarter $2.7 million write-down on a foreclosed property, while net occupancy expense decreased $916,000 to $13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $13.9 million for the trailing quarter, primarily due to decreases in snow removal, utilities and other maintenance costs. Partially offsetting these decreases in non-interest expense, compensation and benefits expense increased $883,000 to $63.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $62.4 million for the trailing quarter. The increase in compensation and benefits expense was primarily attributable to an increase in salary expense, primarily due to additional business days in the current quarter compared to the trailing quarter.

The Company’s annualized adjusted non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets(5) totaled 1.89% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to 1.92% for the trailing quarter.

The increase in tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the trailing quarter was largely due to an increase in taxable income in the current quarter, while the decrease in tax rate was primarily due to a discrete item related to stock-based compensation in the prior quarter.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported net income of $72.0 million, or $0.55 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $11.5 million, or $(0.11) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held foreclosed assets of $1.0 million and $9.5 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there was a write-down of one foreclosed commercial property of $2.7 million based on a contracted sales price. The sale of this property closed in the second quarter of 2025, which reduced foreclosed assets by an additional $5.8 million. Foreclosed assets as of June 30, 2025 were comprised of one commercial property. Total non-performing assets as of June 30, 2025 increased $26.6 million to $108.1 million, or 0.44% of total assets, from $81.5 million, or 0.34% of total assets at December 31, 2024.

Balance Sheet Summary

Total assets as of June 30, 2025 were $24.55 billion, a $495.5 million increase from December 31, 2024. The increase in total assets was primarily due to a $445.5 million increase in loans held for investment and a $246.5 million increase in total investments, partially offset by a $155.5 million decrease in loans held for sale, and decreases in intangibles and other assets.

The Company’s loans held for investment portfolio totaled $19.10 billion as of June 30, 2025 and $18.66 billion as of December 31, 2024. The loan portfolio consisted of the following:

Total commercial loans, including mortgage warehouse lines, commercial mortgage, multi-family and construction loans, represented 86.4% of the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2025, compared to 85.9% as of December 31, 2024.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, loan funding, including advances on lines of credit, totaled $4.30 billion, compared with $2.53 billion for the same period in 2024.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s unfunded loan commitments totaled $3.74 billion, including commitments of $2.30 billion in commercial loans, $511.9 million in construction loans and $212.7 million in commercial mortgage loans. Unfunded loan commitments as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 were $2.73 billion and $3.01 billion, respectively.

The loan pipeline, consisting of work-in-process and loans approved pending closing, totaled $2.59 billion as of June 30, 2025, compared to $1.79 billion and $1.67 billion as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

Total investment securities were $3.47 billion as of June 30, 2025, a $246.5 million increase from December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to purchases of mortgage-backed securities and a decrease in unrealized losses on available for sale debt securities.

Total deposits increased $84.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, to $18.71 billion. Total time deposits increased $99.3 million to $3.27 billion as of June 30, 2025, while total savings and demand deposit accounts decreased $14.6 million to $15.44 billion as of June 30, 2025. The increase in time deposits consisted of a $108.1 million increase in brokered time deposits, partially offset by an $8.8 million decrease in retail time deposits. The decrease in savings and demand deposits was largely attributable to a $50.7 million decrease in savings deposits and a $36.8 million decrease in non-interest bearing demand deposits, partially offset by a $52.2 million increase in money market deposits and a $20.7 million increase in interest bearing demand deposits.

Borrowed funds increased $354.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, to $2.37 billion. Borrowed funds represented 9.7% of total assets as of June 30, 2025, an increase from 8.4% as of December 31, 2024.

Stockholders’ equity increased $106.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, to $2.71 billion, primarily due to net income earned for the period and a decrease in unrealized losses on available for sale debt securities, partially offset by cash dividends paid to stockholders. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, common stock repurchases totaled 55,826 shares at an average cost of $17.83 per share and 156,570 shares at an average cost of $18.07 per share, respectively, all of which were made in connection with withholding to cover income taxes on the vesting of stock-based compensation. As of June 30, 2025, approximately 816,000 shares remained eligible for repurchase under the current stock repurchase authorization. Book value per share and tangible book value per share(1) as of June 30, 2025 were $20.73 and $14.60, respectively, compared with $19.93 and $13.66, respectively, as of December 31, 2024.

Notes and Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Dollars in Thousands, except share data)

The Company has presented the following non-GAAP (U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures because it believes that these measures provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how the Company evaluates its performance internally and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry. Investors should recognize that the Company’s presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and the Company strongly encourages a review of its condensed consolidated financial statements in their entirety.
