Balance Sheet and Asset Quality

Total assets of $1.4 billion as of June 30, 2025 decreased $48.0 million or 3.31% from December 31, 2024. Net loans held for investment decreased $4.4 million, or 0.4% from December 31, 2024 to $994.3 million at June 30, 2025, primarily driven by the following: decreases in commercial – non-owner occupied loans of $16.7 million and construction and land development loans of $9.6 million, partially offset by increases in consumer automobile loans of $9.0 million, multifamily loans of $6.1 million, and equity lines of credit of $6.1 million. Securities available-for-sale, at fair value, decreased $3.7 million from December 31, 2024 to $214.4 million at June 30, 2025.

Total deposits of $1.2 billion as of June 30, 2025 decreased $46.2 million, or 3.7%, from December 31, 2024. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $12.5 million, or 3.5%, savings deposits increased $17.5 million, or 2.7%, and time deposits decreased $51.2 million, or 21.3%. The decrease in total deposits was driven by decreases in noninterest-bearing and time deposits, partially offset by increases in savings deposits. Overnight repurchase agreements, other borrowings, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and subordinated notes decreased $4.3 million to $69.5 million at June 30, 2025 from $73.8 million at December 31, 2024.  This was primarily driven by a decrease in subordinated notes of $3.7 million or 12.4% as of June 30, 2025 from December 31, 2024, due to the redemption and retirement in the first quarter of 2025, of a subordinated note issued by the Company, resulting in a realized gain of $656 thousand.

The Company's total stockholders' equity at June 30, 2025 increased $4.2 million, or 3.7%, from December 31, 2024 to $118.1 million. The increase was primarily driven by net income and a $1.6 million improvement of unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale driven by fluctuations in market interest rates, net of tax, partially offset by cash dividend payments. The Bank remains well capitalized with a Tier 1 Capital ratio of 13.29% at June 30, 2025 as compared to 12.97% at December 31, 2024. The Bank's leverage ratio was 10.57% at June 30, 2025 as compared to 10.06% at December 31, 2024. 

Non-performing assets (NPAs) totaled $3.3 million as of June 30, 2025, $4.1 million as of March 31, 2025, and $2.0 million as of June 30, 2024. NPAs as a percentage of total assets were 0.24% at June 30, 2025, compared to 0.29% at March 31, 2025, and 0.14% at June 30, 2024. Non-accrual loans were $43 thousand at June 30, 2025, a decrease from $80 thousand at March 31, 2025, and a decrease from $44 thousand at June 30, 2024.  Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest decreased $952 thousand to $932 thousand at June 30, 2025 from $1.9 million at March 31, 2025 and increased $488 thousand from $444 thousand at June 30, 2024, primarily due to one relationship moving to this category in the first quarter of 2025, which returned to current status during the second quarter. Repossessed assets were $2.4 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $2.2 million at March 31, 2025 and $1.5 million at June 30, 2024. The increase in repossessed assets from the prior periods was driven by the recovery efforts of certain loans that were previously past due.

The Company recognized a provision for credit losses of $468 thousand during the second quarter of 2025 compared to $717 thousand during the first quarter of 2025 and $261 thousand during the second quarter of 2024. The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2025 included a provision of $450 thousand for loans and a $18 thousand provision for unfunded commitments. The allowance for credit losses (ACL) at June 30, 2025 was $12.1 million. The decrease in the ACL on loans during the second quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by the decrease in the loan portfolio and updates to the model loss drivers. The ACL at June 30, 2025 compared to June 30, 2024 was relatively unchanged. The ACL on loans as a percentage of loans held for investment was 1.19% at June 30, 2025 compared to 1.17% at March 31, 2025, and 1.12% at June 30, 2024. Quarterly annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding were 0.13% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 0.14% for the first quarter of 2025 and 0.12% for the second quarter of 2024. As of June 30, 2025, asset quality remains strong. Management believes the level of the ACL is sufficient to absorb expected losses in the loan portfolio; however, if elevated levels of risk are identified, the provision for credit losses may increase in future periods.   

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2025 was $12.2 million, an increase of $171 thousand, or 1.4%, from the prior quarter and an increase of $63 thousand, or 0.5%, from the second quarter of 2024. The increase from the linked quarter was primarily due to higher average yields on loan balances, partially offset by higher costs of deposits. The increase from the prior-year comparative quarter was due primarily to higher average yields on loan balances and lower costs of deposits. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, net interest income was $24.2 million and $23.7 million, respectively.  The increase from the prior-year comparative period was primarily due to higher average yields on loan balances and lower costs of deposits.

Net Interest Margin (NIM) for the second quarter of 2025 was 3.70%, an increase from 3.63% for the first quarter of 2025, and an increase from 3.62% for the prior year quarter. On a fully tax-equivalent basis (FTE) (non-GAAP), NIM was 3.71%, for the second quarter of 2025, compared to 3.64% for the first quarter of 2025 and 3.63% for the second quarter of 2024.  Average earning asset balances for the second quarter decreased $18.7 million at June 30, 2025 compared to March 31, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in the average balances of loans, with yields on average earning assets increasing 9 basis points. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $4.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2025 with costs increasing 1 basis point. The higher interest cost of liabilities was primarily due to increased average deposit balances and higher interest rates on money market deposit accounts.  During the first six months of 2025, average earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $18.0 million and $11.9 million, respectively, over the 2024 comparative period.

Average loans were $1.0 billion, a decrease of $10.0 million, or 1.0%, for the second quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2025, and a decrease of $58.9 million, or 5.6%, for the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024.  Average yields on loans were 13 basis points higher in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2025, and 5 basis points higher in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024, the result of a higher interest rate environment. The extent to which changing interest rates will ultimately affect the Company's NIM is uncertain. For more information about these FTE financial measures, please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures," below.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income was $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $3.5 million for the comparative quarter of 2024. The $598 thousand decrease during the second quarter of 2025 compared to the linked quarter was primarily driven by the gain on the redemption and retirement of subordinated notes recognized in the first quarter and losses on sales of repossessed assets, partially offset by no losses on the sales of available-for-sale securities in the second quarter. The $222 thousand decrease compared to the second quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by losses on sales of repossessed assets and a decrease in other service charges, commissions, and fees, partially offset by an increase in fiduciary and asset management fees.  Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $403 thousand to $7.1 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by the gain on the redemption and retirement of subordinated notes recognized in the first quarter of 2025 and an increase in fiduciary and asset management fees, partially offset by losses on sales of repossessed assets and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $13.4 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $12.4 million for the first quarter of 2025 and $12.3 million for the second quarter of 2024. The increases in expenses from the linked quarter of $917 thousand and $1.0 million over the prior year quarter were primarily related to increases in merger-related costs and salaries and employee benefits, partially offset by decreases in occupancy and equipment. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, noninterest expense increased $784 thousand, or 3.1%, over the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to increases in merger-related costs, partially offset by decreases in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, and other operating expenses.

Capital Management and Dividends

For the second quarter of 2025, the Company declared a dividend of $0.14 per share, consistent with the first quarter of 2025. The dividend represents a payout ratio of 58.3% of earnings per share for the second quarter of 2025. The Board of Directors of the Company continually reviews the amount of cash dividends per share and the resulting dividend payout ratio in light of changes in economic conditions, current and future capital requirements, and expected future earnings.

Total consolidated equity increased $4.2 million at June 30, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024, due primarily to net income and a $1.6 million reduction, net of tax, in unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale driven by fluctuations in market interest rates, partially offset by cash dividend payments. The Company's securities available-for-sale are primarily fixed income debt securities, and their unrealized loss position is a result of increases in market interest rates since the investments were acquired rather than credit quality issues. The Company expects to recover its investments in debt securities through scheduled payments of principal and interest and unrealized losses are not expected to affect the earnings or regulatory capital of the Company or its subsidiaries.

At June 30, 2025, the book value per share of the Company's common stock was $23.15, and tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) was $22.80.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In reporting the results as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company has provided supplemental financial measures on a fully tax-equivalent, tangible, or adjusted basis. These non-GAAP financial measures are a supplement to GAAP, which is used to prepare the Company's financial statements, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company's non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures of other companies. The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein in its analysis of the Company's performance. The Company's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional understanding of ongoing operations and provide meaningful information about operating performance by enhancing comparability with other financial periods, other financial institutions, and between different sources of interest income. The non-GAAP measures used by management enhance comparability by excluding the effects of items or events that may obscure trends in the Company's underlying performance. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company to evaluate and measure the Company's performance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is presented below.
