__________________________

(1)
Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on assets and the cost of liabilities to fund those assets. Interest earned includes actual interest earned on segment assets and, if the segment has excess liabilities, interest credits for providing funding to the other segment. The cost of liabilities includes interest expense on segment liabilities and, if the segment does not have enough liabilities to fund its assets, a funding charge based on the cost of assigned liabilities to fund segment assets.
(2) Noninterest income includes activity from certain residential mortgage loans that were initially originated for sale and measured at fair value and subsequently transferred to loans held for investment. Gains and losses from changes in fair value for these loans are reported in earnings as a component of noninterest income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a net increase in fair value of $203,000 and $469,000, respectively, compared to a net increase in fair value of $262,000 and $448,000, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were $12.8 million and $13.9 million, respectively, in residential mortgage loans recorded at fair value as they were previously transferred from loans held for sale to loans held for investment.
(3) Noninterest expense includes allocated overhead expense from general corporate activities. Allocation is determined based on a combination of segment assets and FTEs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Home Lending segment included allocated overhead expenses of $1.8 million and $5.5 million, compared to $1.8 million and $4.8 million for the same periods in 2024, respectively.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company sold $156.4 million of one-to-four-family loans compared to $127.1 million during the previous quarter and $167.6 million during the same quarter one year ago. The increase in the volume of loans sold during the current quarter compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to seasonal homebuying factors. This increased demand for homes generally results in a higher volume of loan originations and, consequently, more loans available for sale. Gross margins on home loan sales increased to 3.14% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to 3.06% in the previous quarter and increased from 2.96% in the same quarter one year ago. Gross margins are defined as the margin on loans sold (cash sales) without the impact of deferred costs.

At September 30, 2025, the Bank had uninsured deposits of approximately $694.4 million, compared to approximately $677.2 million at June 30, 2025, and $644.9 million at September 30, 2024. The uninsured amounts are estimates based on the methodologies and assumptions used for the Bank's regulatory reporting requirements.

In the table above, the linked quarter increase in stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2025, compared to June 30, 2025, was primarily due to net income of $9.2 million and unrealized gain in fair value on securities available for sale of $2.9 million, net of tax, partially offset by unrealized loss in fair value and cash flow hedges of $454,000, net of tax. These changes reduced accumulated other comprehensive loss reported in the prior quarter to income this quarter, contributing to the increase in stockholders' equity. Gains and losses in fair value reflect changes in market interest rates during the periods. The increase in shareholders' equity was partially offset by share repurchases of $5.5 million and cash dividends paid of $3.8 million.

The Bank is considered “well capitalized” under the capital requirement established by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Company exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. At September 30, 2025, capital ratios presented for the Bank and the Company were as follows:

    At September 30, 2025
    Bank   Company
Total risk-based capital (to risk-weighted assets)   13.81 %   13.93 %
Tier 1 leverage capital (to average assets)   10.96 %   9.49 %
CET 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)   12.64 %   10.95 %

The increase in nonaccrual loans year-over-year was partly driven by two commercial construction loans, which remain in active development. Disbursements on these loans, net of partial charge-offs of $2.3 million, contributed to a $4.4 million net increase in the nonaccrual balance of these loans compared to the same period last year. Increases in consumer loan and mortgage loan delinquencies also contributed to the overall rise in nonaccrual loans between the periods, partially offset by a $2.0 million decrease in C&I loans, primarily due to a partial charge-off and receipt of funds on a government guarantee for a single nonaccrual C&I loan.

Operating Results

Net interest income increased $2.4 million to $33.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $31.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in total interest income of $3.9 million, partially offset by an increase in total interest expense of $1.5 million. The $3.9 million increase in total interest income was primarily due to an increase of $2.9 million in interest income on loans receivable, including fees, resulting from net loan growth and higher loan yields as a result of repricing and increased market rates. The $1.5 million increase in total interest expense was primarily the result of higher average deposit balances used to fund asset growth, partially offset by effective management of deposit and funding costs.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net interest income increased $4.8 million to $96.8 million, from $92.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, with an $8.6 million increase in total interest income, partially offset by a $3.8 million increase in interest expense for the same reasons mentioned above. 

NIM (annualized) increased two basis points to 4.37% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from 4.35% for the same period in the prior year and increased three basis points from 4.30% to 4.33% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The change in NIM for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, reflects the combined effects of higher yields on interest-earning assets, favorable shifts in asset mix, and continued control of funding costs. 

The average total cost of funds, including noninterest-bearing checking, increased two basis points to 2.41% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from 2.39% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was predominantly due to higher average balances in borrowings. The average cost of funds increased six basis points to 2.39% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from 2.33% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily for the same reason noted above as well as growth in the deposit mix from the prior year. 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the provision for credit losses on loans was $2.3 million and $5.9 million, compared to $1.5 million and $4.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The provision for credit losses on loans reflects net loan growth and an increase in net charge-off activity.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, net charge-offs increased $2.4 million to $4.0 million, compared to $1.6 million for the same prior last year. The increase was primarily due to a commercial construction loan's partial charge-off of $2.3 million. The partial charge-off was fully reserved for in previous periods, accordingly, there was no income statement impact resulting from increased provisions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net charge-offs increased $2.6 million, to $6.9 million, compared to $4.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the $2.3 million partial charge-off discussed above, a $1.3 million increase in net charge-offs on indirect home improvement loans, partially offset by a $695,000 decrease in net charge-offs on commercial business loans and a $312,000 decrease in net charge-offs on marine loans. Management attributes the increase in net charge-offs for the current nine-month period to continued volatile economic conditions.

Total noninterest income decreased $373,000 to $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease primarily reflects a $156,000 decrease in service charges and fee income and a $141,000 decrease in gain on sale of MSRs as there were no MSR sales in the current quarter compared to the same period last year. Total noninterest income decreased $1.1 million to $15.9 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $16.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily the result of a $713,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans, a $619,000 decrease in service charges and fee income, and a net decrease of $520,000 from no activity in gain on sales of MSRs and loss on sale of investment securities compared to an $8.4 million net gain on sale of MSRs, offset by the $7.8 million loss on sale of investment securities that occurred during the same period in 2024. These decreases were partially offset by a $757,000 increase in other noninterest income, primarily due to a $358,000 gain on sales of nonmarketable equity securities, $219,000 in bank owned life insurance proceeds, and a $152,000 increase in brokered loans fees.

Total noninterest expense was $25.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $25.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The $444,000 decrease was primarily due to a $6,000 recovery in MSRs, compared to the prior year's $506,000 impairment, driven primarily by market rates, a $372,000 decrease in data processing, a $130,000 decrease in professional and board fees, a $118,000 decrease in marketing and advertising, and a $110,000 decrease in amortization of core deposit intangibles, partially offset by a $430,000 increase in salaries and benefits, primarily due to competitive wage adjustments, and a $147,000 increase in operations expense. Total noninterest expense increased $2.7 million to $75.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $73.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Increases during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period last year included a $2.1 million in salaries and benefits, $889,000 in operations expense, and $401,000 in professional and board fees, partially offset by a $522,000 decrease in the impairment of MSRs, primarily for the same reasons discussed above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

In addition to financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States (“GAAP”), this earnings release presents non-GAAP financial measures that include tangible book value per share, and tangible common equity ratio. Management believes that providing the Company’s tangible book value per share and tangible common equity ratio is consistent with the capital treatment utilized by the investment community, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios and facilitates comparison of the quality and composition of the Company's capital over time and to its competitors. Where applicable, the Company has also presented comparable GAAP information.

These non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for total stockholders' equity or operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Reconciliation of the GAAP book value per share and common equity ratio and the non-GAAP tangible book value per share and tangible common equity ratio is presented below.
