Executive summary
Net income for Q4 2025 was $34.8 million ($2.79 per share), with full-year net income reported as $434 million ($10.41 per share) in one source and $133.6 million ($10.41 per share) in another, reflecting strong profitability metrics.
Loan and deposit growth remained robust, with Q4 loans up $182.3 million (over 12%/3.1% linked quarter) and deposits up $115.8 million (7.4%/1.9% linked quarter); full-year loan and deposit growth were $413.6 million and $428.6 million, respectively.
Net interest margin declined in Q4 due to federal rate cuts and high deposit costs, with a 70% floating-rate loan portfolio impacted.
Asset quality saw an increase in non-accrual and criticized assets, mainly due to downgrades of a large relationship, but OREO sales reduced nonperforming assets.
Loan loss provision for the quarter was $4.3 million.
Financial highlights
Net interest margin for December was 3.66%, with deposit costs at 3.17%, both trending down by 5-7 basis points per month.
Net interest income for Q4 was $70.0 million, down $1.3 million sequentially but up $802,000 year-over-year; net interest margin contracted to 3.74% from 3.92% last quarter and 4.06% a year ago.
Noninterest income rose to $8.1 million, driven by a $3.6 million gain on OREO sales and higher letter of credit fees.
Noninterest expense increased to $24.4 million, mainly due to OREO-related write-downs and expenses.
Efficiency ratio for Q4 was 31.2%, up from 28.7% last quarter but improved from 38.8% a year ago.
Outlook and guidance
Management expects 2026 to be a year of growth and stability, with customers and economists expressing optimism.
Loan and deposit growth are expected to continue at a similar or higher pace than 2025, with internal budgets set higher.
Non-interest expense is forecasted at $21.5–$22.5 million for Q1 2026, with mid- to high-single-digit growth for the full year.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
