Management Commentary

"We delivered solid metrics during the second quarter in several key areas," said Daniel J. Collins, BNC's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Loan demand was particularly healthy during the quarter resulting in a 5.7% net increase in loans outstanding in the second quarter, returning year-to-date loan growth to a strong position heading into the second half of 2025."

"A deeper look at our performance compared to a year ago shows net interest margin improvement reflecting success in funding new loans and renewing maturing loans at current market rates and improvement in the efficiency ratio as we continue to manage costs with discipline. Our steady credit quality reflects the careful construction of our loan portfolio and the resilience of our markets. Overall, the second quarter reflects our team's thoughtful execution of our strategy to position the Company for long-term success."

2025 Versus 2024 Second Quarter Comparison

The Company reported net income of $2.2 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the quarter compared to $1.9 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2024.

Second quarter interest income increased $1.3 million, or 11.4%, to $12.5 million from $11.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. Average yield on interest-earning assets in the quarter improved to 5.56% from 5.30% in the second quarter of 2024 driven by a $38.0 million period-over-period increase in the average balance of loans held for investment and higher origination yields in addition to $23.6 million higher average cash and cash equivalent balances. Those increases were partially offset by lower yields on cash and cash equivalents and a lower average balance of debt securities during the quarter.

Interest expense in the second quarter of 2025 was $4.1 million, an increase of $428 thousand from the 2024 period. The cost of core deposits in the second quarter of 2025 rose to 1.85% versus 1.74% in the second quarter of 2024. The consolidated average balance of deposits increased by $52.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2024. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.40% during the second quarter of 2025, compared to 2.34% in the same period of 2024.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2025 was $8.5 million, an increase of $855 thousand, or 11.3%, from the second quarter of 2024. Net interest margin was 3.75% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 3.58% reported in the prior year period.

Non-interest income during the second quarter of 2025 was $1.4 million, compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. Bank charges and service fees were $88 thousand lower quarter-over-quarter primarily due to a reduction in deposits held in one-way sell positions. Using an associated banking network, the Company generates fee income on deposits not otherwise deployed by placing those deposits with other financial institutions to meet their liquidity needs. The deposits can be reclaimed for liquidity use by the Company at any time. Fees derived from the movement of deposits off the balance sheet can fluctuate significantly based on our customers' excess funding needs. As of June 30, 2025, off-balance sheet deposits were $23.6 million compared to $18.5 million as of December 31, 2024. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a one-time gain on sale of loans of $114 thousand. Gains on sales of loans can vary period-over-period. Other income is lower than the prior period due to reduced revenues from SBIC investments.

Non-interest expense during the second quarter of 2025 increased $198 thousand, or 3.0%, period-over-period, primarily due to a $128 thousand increase in professional services expense and a $99 thousand increase in salary and employee benefit expenses. The increase in professional services expense is due to higher legal and consulting fees. The Company reported a modest increase in salary and employee benefits on a period-over-period basis. Merit-based and inflationary increases in salaries and employee benefits were partially offset by lower headcount.

In the second quarter of 2025, consolidated income tax expense was $671 thousand, compared to $571 thousand in the second quarter of 2024. The Company maintained an effective tax rate of 23.5% for both periods presented.

Tangible book value per common share on June 30, 2025 was $28.44, compared to $26.60 at December 31, 2024. The Company's tangible common equity capital ratio increased to 10.63% as of June 30, 2025, compared to 9.68% on December 31, 2024.

2025 Versus 2024 First Six Months Comparison

The Company reported net income of $3.9 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2025 compared to $3.6 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2024.

Interest income increased $1.6 million, or 7.0%, to $24.5 million in the first half of 2025 from $22.9 million in the first half of 2024. Average yield on interest-earning assets in the first half improved to 5.45% from 5.26% in the first half of 2024 driven by a $30.8 million period-over-period increase in the average balance of loans held for investment and higher origination yields and higher balances of cash and cash equivalents. Those increases were partially offset by lower yields on cash and cash equivalents and a lower average balance and yields on debt securities during the period.

Interest expense in the first half of 2025 was $8.2 million, an increase of $759 thousand from the 2024 period. The cost of core deposits in the first six months of 2025 rose to 1.86% versus 1.74% in the first six months of 2024.

Non-interest income in the first six months of 2025 was $2.8 million compared to $3.0 million in the 2024 first six months. Bank charges and service fees were $213 thousand lower period-over-period primarily due to lower letter of credit fees and interchange income, and a reduction in deposits held in one-way sell positions. During 2025, the Company recorded a one-time gain on sale of loans of $114 thousand. Gains on sales of loans can vary period-over-period. Other income is lower than the prior period due to reduced revenues from SBIC investments.

Non-interest expense during the first six months of 2025 increased $120 thousand, or 1.0%, year-over-year, primarily due to a $135 thousand increase in professional services expense and higher salary and employee benefit expense. The Company reported a modest increase in salary and employee benefits of $144 thousand, or 1.8% year-over-year. Merit-based and inflationary increases in salaries and employee benefits were partially offset by lower headcount.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, consolidated income tax expense was $1.2 million, compared to $1.1 million in the first half of 2024.  The Company maintained an effective tax rate of 23.5% for both periods presented.

Assets and Liabilities

Total assets were $942.0 million at June 30, 2025 versus $966.7 million at December 31, 2024. Total loans held for investment were $739.2 million on June 30, 2025 compared to $698.7 million on December 31, 2024. Debt securities decreased $6.1 million from year-end 2024, primarily due to normal amortization, while cash and cash equivalent balances totaled $43.3 million on June 30, 2025 compared to $100.8 million on December 31, 2024.

Total deposits decreased $16.4 million to $821.1 million as of June 30, 2025, from a balance of $837.5 million on December 31, 2024. The Company also maintains off-balance sheet transactional deposit accounts and off-balance sheet time deposit accounts. Off-balance sheet deposits can fluctuate significantly as customers' cash sources or uses change. The Company remains committed to cultivating new deposit relationships and prioritizing liquidity.

The following table provides additional detail on the Company's total deposit relationships:

		As of
(In thousands)		June 30, 2025			December 31, 2024			June 30, 2024
Deposits:
Non-interest-bearing		$	180,921		$	172,456		$	171,112

The off-balance sheet deposits above do not include off-balance sheet time deposits that can be brought back on the balance sheet at various future maturity dates. As of June 30, 2025, the Company managed off-balance sheet time deposit balances of $1.2 million, compared to $13.9 million time deposit balances as of December 31, 2024 and $24.5 million time deposit balances as of June 30, 2024.

The Company remains highly focused on meeting the needs of its customers and ensuring deposit rates reflect changing market conditions. The Company estimates that deposit insurance and other deposit protection programs secure approximately 75% of its customers' deposit balances. This fact, combined with the Company's strong balance sheet and management's sustained focus on fostering a relationship-focused culture, has allowed the Company to maintain a significant deposit base.

Trust assets under administration increased 4.0%, or $17.1 million, to $445.1 million at June 30, 2025, from $428.0 million at December 31, 2024. The Company has benefited from the acquisition of new assets under administration in 2025 and also experienced increases in the market value of financial assets.

Asset Quality

The allowance for credit losses was $9.2 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans held for investment on June 30, 2025 decreased from 1.32% as of December 31, 2024 to 1.24% at current quarter end. The decrease in the allowance to loans ratio was largely due to gross charge-off of $464 thousand in the first six months of 2025. The charge-off were taken against reserves on longer-term non-performing loans.

Past due loans of 31-89 days increased to $1.9 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $1.2 million as of December 31, 2024. Nonperforming assets were $5.8 million on June 30, 2025, compared to $6.3 million on December 31, 2024. The ratio of nonperforming assets-to-total-assets was 0.62% at June 30, 2025 versus 0.65% at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, $4.8 million, or 82%, of the $5.8 million in nonperforming loans were SBA loans supported by material government guarantees. When excluding the loan balances covered by government guarantees, the Company's non-performing assets-to-total-assets ratio was 0.19% on June 30, 2025.

The Company continues to monitor the evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical environment for possible impacts to the loan portfolio. As of June 30, 2025, classified loans were $4.3 million compared to $4.7 million of classified loans at December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $7.1 million and $12.2 million, respectively, of potentially problematic loans, which are risk-rated as "special mention". As of June 30, 2025, $3.7 million of the special mention loan balances are secured by hotels as compared to $10.5 million at March 31, 2025. While the Company has experienced elevated levels of special mention loans for this industry, the loans are not concentrated to a geographical location or specific property type. The remainder of the loans within the hotel industry are pass rated as of June 30, 2025.

BNC's loans held for investment are geographically concentrated in North Dakota and Arizona, comprising 54% and 24%, respectively, of the Company's total loans held for investment portfolio.

The North Dakota economy is influenced by the energy and agriculture industries. Changes in energy supply and demand, along with market sentiment have recently caused a decrease in oil prices that, if prolonged, could have a negative impact on the oil industry and ancillary services. Potential risks to North Dakota's energy and agriculture industries include the possibility of adverse national legislation, potential effects of trade policy, and changes in economic conditions. Depending on the severity of their impact, these factors could present potential challenges to credit quality in North Dakota.

The Arizona economy continues to diversify but continues to be influenced by the leisure and travel industries. Positive trends in both industries have been noted, but an extended slowdown in these industries could negatively impact credit quality in Arizona. While the Company's portfolio includes various sized loans spread over a large number of industry sectors, it has meaningful concentrations of loans to the hospitality and commercial real estate industries.

The following table approximately describes the Company's concentrations by industry:

Capital

Banks and bank holding companies operate under separate regulatory capital requirements. As of June 30, 2025, the Company's capital ratios exceeded all regulatory capital thresholds, including the capital conservation buffer.

A summary of the Company's and the Bank's capital ratios is presented below:

		June 30, 2025		December 31, 2024
BNCCORP, INC. (Consolidated)
Tier 1 leverage		12.90 %		12.75 %
Common equity tier 1 risk based capital		12.41 %		12.36 %
Tier 1 risk based capital		14.20 %		14.22 %
Total risk based capital		15.27 %		15.35 %
Tangible common equity		10.63 %		9.68 %
BNC National Bank
Tier 1 leverage		12.10 %		11.89 %
Common equity tier 1 risk based capital		13.32 %		13.25 %
Tier 1 risk based capital		13.32 %		13.25 %
Total risk based capital		14.39 %		14.38 %
Tangible common equity		11.51 %		10.49 %

The Common Equity Tier 1 ratio, which is generally a comparison of a bank's core equity capital to its total risk weighted assets, is a measure of the current risk profile of the Bank's asset base from a regulatory perspective. The Tier 1 leverage ratio, which is based on average assets, does not consider the mix of risk-weighted assets.

The Company regularly evaluates the sufficiency of its capital to ensure compliance with regulatory capital standards and to serve as a source of strength for the Bank. The Company manages capital by assessing the composition of capital and the amounts available for growth, risk, or other purposes.

The Company made an election at the adoption of BASEL III to exclude changes in accumulated other comprehensive income from the calculation of regulatory ratios.
