Key Terms

diluted common share, sba 7(a), non-gaap financial measure, tier 1 leverage capital ratio, +1 more
5 terms
diluted common share financial
"or $4.05 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026"
Diluted common share count is the number of ordinary shares a company would have if all potential shares from options, warrants, convertible bonds and similar instruments were turned into common stock. Investors use the diluted figure to see a more conservative per-share picture—like how a pizza slice gets smaller if more people are added—so measures such as earnings per share or ownership percentages aren’t overstated by future share creation.
sba 7(a) financial
"Small Business Administration ("SBA") 7(a) loans"
A SBA 7(a) loan is a U.S. Small Business Administration‑backed lending program where the government acts like a partial co-signer to make bank loans to small businesses easier to obtain. Investors care because it lowers default risk for lenders, increases access to capital for smaller firms that can drive growth, and can affect loan portfolios, bank earnings, and credit exposure in sectors that rely on these loans.
non-gaap financial measure financial
"Total return on purchased loans is considered a non-GAAP financial measure"
A non-GAAP financial measure is a way companies present their financial results that excludes certain expenses or income to show how they believe their core business is performing. It matters because it can give a clearer picture of how the company is really doing, but it can also be used to make results look better than they actually are.
tier 1 leverage capital ratio regulatory
"the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 11.9%"
The Tier 1 leverage capital ratio measures a bank’s core financial cushion—mainly equity and retained profits—against its total assets, showing what share of its balance sheet is funded by high-quality capital rather than borrowed money. Think of it as the percentage of a building supported by solid pillars instead of temporary scaffolding; a higher ratio means the bank can better absorb losses and is less likely to need outside help, which matters to investors assessing safety, regulatory compliance, dividend risk and long-term stability.
risk-based capital ratio regulatory
"the Bank's Total risk-based capital ratio was 14.7%"
A risk-based capital ratio compares a financial firm's capital (the cushion of money it can lose without collapsing) to its assets after those assets are scaled up or down based on how risky they are. Think of it like measuring how strong a boat's lifeboats are relative to how stormy the water is—higher ratios mean a bigger safety buffer. Investors use it to judge a bank or insurer's ability to survive losses and to predict regulatory pressure or limits on dividends and growth.

(1)  Initial net investment basis on purchased loans is the initial amortized cost basis net of initial allowance for credit losses (credit mark).
(2)  The total return on purchased loans represents scheduled accretion, accelerated accretion, gains (losses) on real estate owned, release of allowance for credit losses on purchased loans, and other noninterest income recorded during the period divided by the average invested balance on an annualized basis. The total return on purchased loans does not include the effect of purchased loan charge-offs or recoveries during the period. Total return on purchased loans is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. See reconciliation in below table entitled “Total Return on Purchased Loans.”

2.   Investment securities increased by $74.9 million, or 330.0%, from June 30, 2025. The increase was driven by the purchase of $90.2 million in agency securities during the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

3.   Deposits increased by $314.2 million, or 9.3%, from June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in time deposits of $275.5 million, or 12.3%. The significant drivers in the change in time deposits were an increase in brokered time deposits, which increased by $155.4 million, combined with an increase in Community Banking Division time deposits of $142.0 million.

4.   Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances increased by $520.3 million, or 162.5%, from June 30, 2025. The increase was attributable to advances taken to fund loan growth.

5.   Shareholders’ equity increased by $109.6 million, or 22.2%, from June 30, 2025, primarily due to net income of $107.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 and stock-based compensation of $7.9 million, partially offset by the cancellation of restricted stock to cover tax obligations on restricted stock vests, which resulted in a $5.3 million decrease in shareholders' equity.

Net income increased by $9.1 million to $34.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to net income of $25.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, due to the following:

1.   Net interest and dividend income before provision for credit losses increased by $6.4 million to $60.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $53.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the following:

  • An increase in interest income earned on loans of $10.6 million, primarily due to higher transactional income and higher average balances in the National Lending Division and Small Business Division portfolios, offset by lower yields across the portfolio; partially offset by,
  • An increase in interest expense on FHLB advances of $3.7 million, due to higher average balances; and
  • A decrease in other interest and dividend income of $1.0 million due to lower interest rates earned.
  • Interest expense on deposits for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $32.1 million, which was up slightly from the quarter ended June 30, 2025, as growth in deposit balances were offset by lower cost of deposits.

The components of total income on purchased loans are set forth in the table below entitled “Total Return on Purchased Loans.” When compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2025, transactional income increased by $4.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and regularly scheduled interest and accretion increased by $7.3 million, primarily due to higher average balances. The total return on purchased loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was 9.3%, an increase from 8.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The following table details the total return on purchased loans:

Total transactional income 23,889 0.93%  11,683 0.52%
Total$228,250 8.86% $195,445 8.71%
 

(1)   The total return on purchased loans represents scheduled accretion, accelerated accretion, gains (losses) on real estate owned, release of allowance for credit losses on purchased loans, and other noninterest income recorded during the period divided by the average invested balance on an annualized basis. The total return on purchased loans does not include the effect of purchased loan charge-offs or recoveries during the period. Total return on purchased loans is considered a non-GAAP financial measure.

2.   Provision for credit losses decreased by $4.1 million reflecting a credit of $679 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to a provision of $3.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in individual reserves required at June 30, 2026 compared to increased reserves due to loan growth and increased reserves on the unguaranteed portion of the SBA portfolio at June 30, 2025.

3.   Noninterest income decreased by $3.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the following:

  • A decrease in gain on sale of SBA loans of $5.4 million, due to a lower sale volume of $30.0 million in SBA loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 as compared to $107.6 million in sale volume during the quarter ended June 30, 2025; partially offset by,
  • A gain on recovery of insured credit losses of $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 related to anticipated recoveries of expected credit losses on the insured small balance business loans held by the Bank as of June 30, 2026.

4.   Noninterest expense increased by $2.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the following:

  • An increase in salaries and employee benefits expense of $1.1 million, primarily due to an increase in regular and stock compensation expense;
  • An increase in professional fees of $508 thousand, due to higher internal audit and other professional contractor fees; and
  • An increase in loan expense of $203 thousand, primarily related to increased expenses in connection with the origination of SBA and insured small balance business loans.

5.   Income tax expense decreased by $4.4 million to $8.1 million, or an effective tax rate of 19.1%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to income tax expense of $12.5 million, or an effective tax rate of 33.2%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in effective tax rate is primarily due to tax credits purchased during the quarter ended June 30, 2026, which reduced income tax expense by $2.8 million and reduced the effective tax rate by 6.5%, as well as favorable changes in state tax laws which reduced the blended state tax rate.

As of June 30, 2026, nonperforming assets totaled $34.8 million, or 0.7% of total assets, compared to $35.6 million, or 0.8% of total assets, as of June 30, 2025.

As of June 30, 2026, past due loans totaled $24.0 million, or 0.5% of total loans, compared to past due loans totaling $30.1 million, or 0.8% of total loans, as of June 30, 2025.

As of June 30, 2026, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 11.9%, compared to 11.6% at June 30, 2025, and the Bank's Total risk-based capital ratio was 14.7% at June 30, 2026, compared to 14.7% at June 30, 2025. The Total risk-based capital ratio decreased primarily due to the increase in risk-weighted assets from significant loan growth from purchases during the quarter ended December 31, 2025.
