STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS HIGHLIGHTS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the second quarter of 2026 was $100.8 million, an increase of $973,000, or 1.0%, from the first quarter of 2026. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to one additional calendar day, partially offset by higher interest expense related to increased funding costs.
Tax-equivalent net interest margin(1) for the second quarter of 2026 was 4.29%, a decrease of five basis points compared to the first quarter of 2026. The decrease primarily reflected modest compression in earning asset yields and higher funding costs. Net loan accretion income contributed 11 basis points to the net interest margin for the quarter.
The average cost of total deposits was 1.92% for the second quarter of 2026, a modest increase of one basis point compared to the first quarter of 2026.
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses was $7.2 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $1.6 million, or 29.3%, compared to $5.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, mainly due to additional allocation on individually assessed loans and growth in the loan and lease portfolio.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2026 was $16.9 million, an increase of $4.3 million, or 34.6%, compared to $12.5 million for the first quarter of 2026. The increase in total non-interest income was principally driven by four factors: a $1.9 million favorable change in the fair value of equity securities, a $736,000 improvement in the fair value adjustment on loan servicing assets, $627,000 in higher net gains on sales of loans, and higher other non-interest income, primarily reflecting gains on sales of leased assets and swap fee income.
Net gains on sales of loans totaled $6.1 million for the quarter, an increase of $627,000, or 11.5%, compared to the prior quarter. During the second quarter of 2026, we sold $78.1 million of U.S. government guaranteed loans compared to $71.8 million during the first quarter of 2026.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2026 was $56.5 million, a decrease of $710,000, or 1.2%, compared to $57.2 million for the first quarter of 2026. The decrease in non-interest expense was primarily driven by a $673,000 decline in net losses recognized on other real estate owned, a $589,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense, and a $380,000 decrease in occupancy and equipment expense, partially offset by a $496,000 impairment charge related to a closed branch held for sale and higher other non-interest expense.
Our efficiency ratio was 46.93%(1), and our adjusted efficiency ratio was 46.51%(1), each compared to 49.78%(1) for the first quarter of 2026, an improvement of 285 basis points and 327 basis points, respectively. The improvement in the efficiency ratio was driven by increased revenue and lower non-interest expense.
Income Taxes
We recorded income tax expense of $13.9 million during the second quarter of 2026, compared to $12.1 million during the first quarter of 2026. The effective tax rates were 25.7% and 24.4% for the second quarter of 2026 and first quarter of 2026, respectively. This increase was primarily driven by income tax benefits related to share-based compensation recorded in the prior quarter.
STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION HIGHLIGHTS
Assets
Total assets were $9.9 billion as of June 30, 2026, an increase of $22.8 million, or 0.2%, compared to $9.9 billion at March 31, 2026. The increase was primarily driven by a $67.1 million increase to loans and leases held for investment, largely in originated commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by a decrease in securities available-for-sale of $39.4 million, mainly due to principal paydowns.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The ACL was $111.9 million as of June 30, 2026, an increase of $3.0 million, or 2.7%, from March 31, 2026, mainly due to an increased provision for credit losses on individually assessed loans and lower net charge-offs on loans and leases.
Net loan and lease charge-offs during the second quarter of 2026 were $4.4 million, or 0.24% of average loans and leases on an annualized basis, a decrease of $1.5 million and eight basis points, compared to the first quarter of 2026. The decrease was primarily driven by higher recoveries compared to the prior quarter and lower charge-offs on government guaranteed loans.
Asset Quality
Non-performing assets were $72.2 million, or 0.73% of total assets, as of June 30, 2026, an increase of $2.1 million from March 31, 2026. The increase was primarily due to increased non-accrual loans and leases. The government guaranteed portion of non-performing loans included in non-performing assets was $8.1 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $7.7 million at March 31, 2026, an increase of $399,000.
Deposits and Other Liabilities
Total deposits increased $68.9 million, or 0.9% to $7.9 billion at June 30, 2026 from $7.8 billion as of March 31, 2026. The increase was primarily driven by growth in interest-bearing deposits.
Total borrowings and other liabilities were $757.5 million at June 30, 2026, a decrease of $70.1 million from $827.6 million at March 31, 2026. The decrease for the quarter was primarily driven by lower FHLB advances.
Stockholders' Equity
Total stockholders' equity was $1.3 billion at June 30, 2026, an increase of $23.9 million, or 1.9%, from March 31, 2026, primarily due to net income of $40.2 million, partially offset by share repurchases, dividends declared, and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to available-for-sale securities. During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased 274,528 shares of our common stock.
