Financial Highlights for Q3 2025
The financial metrics for the three months ended June 30, 2025, displayed strong growth:
- - Net Interest Income: Increased by $1.4 million, or 20.5%, totaling $8.2 million.
- - Provision for Credit Losses: The company recorded a provision of $101,000, showing a conservative approach to loan performance risks.
- - Other Income: Expanded by 55.5% to $636,000, mainly due to improved performance in bank-owned life insurance and service fees.
Total income for the quarter reached $14.0 million, representing a robust increase of 13.5% year-over-year, driven by a higher yield on interest-earning assets as well as increased balances of loans receivable. The effective management of expenses also played a critical role, as overall expenses increased by a modest 3.6% to $5.2 million, despite climbing costs associated with compensation and benefits.
Financial Results for Nine Months Ended June 30, 2025
Looking at the performance over the first three quarters of the fiscal year, the trend of growth continued:
- - Net Income: Up by 38.1% compared to last year, reaching $7.2 million.
- - Interest Income: Gained $4.6 million or 12.9% to total $40.4 million.
- - Non-performing Loans: Increased slightly to $920,000 from $232,000 earlier, which prompted an increase in the allowance for credit losses.
The financial robustness was marked by a significant increase in total assets, totaling $987.5 million, influenced by a rise in loans receivable. The net interest margin also showed improvement, increasing to 3.30% from 3.16%, largely due to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets.
