Key Points for the Third Quarter
Positive Trends:
• | Net interest margin increased to 2.91% for the current quarter compared to 2.83% in the second quarter of 2025, as a result of a decrease in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. | |
• | Cost of total deposits dropped to 2.20% for the current quarter from 2.31% in the preceding quarter as higher-rate certificates of deposit ("CDs") matured and noninterest-bearing demand balances increased. | |
• | First Fed risk-based capital ratios improved to 13.7% for the current quarter compared to 13.1% in the second quarter of 2025, and 13.4% for the third quarter of 2024. | |
• | Advances decreased $84.5 million, or 27.3%, to $225.0 million at September 30, 2025 from $309.5 million at June 30, 2025, contributing to the improved net interest margin. | |
• | Recorded a $620,000 recapture of provision for credit losses on loans in the third quarter of 2025, compared to a recapture of $296,000 for the preceding quarter and a provision for credit losses on loans of $3.1 million for the third quarter of 2024. |
Other significant events:
• | During the third quarter of 2025, the Company experienced higher compensation expenses as a result of executive management changes. | |

• | Total interest income decreased $221,000 to $26.9 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $27.1 million for the preceding quarter, and decreased $1.3 million compared to $28.2 million in the third quarter of 2024. Interest income decreased in the third quarter of 2025 primarily due to decreased average balances of interest-earning assets. Average real estate and commercial business loan balances decreased while average consumer loan balances increased over the preceding quarter. | |
• | Total interest expense decreased $597,000 to $12.3 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $12.9 million for the preceding quarter, and decreased $1.8 million compared to $14.2 million in the third quarter of 2024. Interest expense decreased in the third quarter of 2025 primarily due to a reduced volumes of brokered CDs and decreases in interest paid on customer CDs, brokered CDs and demand deposits. These decreases were partially offset by increases in the average balances and interest paid on money market and savings accounts. Advances also had reduced volumes and a decrease in the rate paid during the current quarter. | |
• | Net interest margin increased to 2.91% for the third quarter of 2025, from 2.83% for the preceding quarter and 2.70% for the third quarter of 2024, marking five consecutive quarters of improvement. | |
• | Noninterest income decreased $168,000 to $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2025, from $2.2 million for the preceding quarter. A period-over-period decrease in the value of equity and fintech partnership investments was recorded for the current quarter. | |
• | Noninterest expense increased $4.6 million to $17.4 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $12.8 million for the preceding quarter. The preceding quarter of 2025 included a nonrecurring ERC reduction to compensation and benefits totaling $2.6 million. Current quarter increases include nonrecurring costs related to the executive management transition of $1.1 million recorded in compensation and benefits and $105,000 for executive search fees recorded in professional fees. The $1.6 million increase in legal fees over the preceding quarter recorded in professional fees is due to the ongoing legal matters previously disclosed. |
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans ("ACLL") and Credit Quality
The allowance for credit losses on loans ("ACLL") decreased $2.1 million to $16.2 million at September 30, 2025, from $18.4 million at June 30, 2025. The ACLL as a percentage of total loans was 1.00% at September 30, 2025, a decrease from 1.10% at June 30, 2025, and from 1.27% one year earlier. A $2.1 million decline in the overall pooled loan reserve, driven primarily by reduced loan balances combined with a decrease in the loss factor applied to one-to-four family loans, was partially offset by net loan charge-offs totaling $1.5 million, contributing to a recapture of provision expense of $620,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
Nonperforming loans decreased $7.0 million to $13.4 million at September 30, 2025, from $20.4 million at June 30, 2025. Current quarter activity included a $4.9 million decrease due to the sale of a commercial construction loan and charged-off balances totaling $1.6 million. ACLL to nonperforming loans increased to 121% at September 30, 2025, from 90% at June 30, 2025, and from 72% at September 30, 2024. This ratio has increased as nonperforming loan balances have decreased due to principal payments, sales and charge-offs.
Classified loans decreased $7.1 million to $23.9 million at September 30, 2025, from $30.9 million at June 30, 2025, primarily due to the sale of a $4.9 million commercial construction loan, payments received of $1.6 million and commercial loan net charge-offs totaling $1.9 million, partially offset by $1.8 million of consumer loan downgrades. Three collateral dependent loans totaling $16.1 million account for 68% of the classified loan balance at September 30, 2025. The Bank has exercised legal remedies, including the appointment of a third-party receiver and foreclosure actions, to liquidate the underlying collateral to satisfy the real estate loans in the largest of these four collateral-dependent relationships. The Bank is also closely monitoring a group of commercial business loans that have similar collateral, with 12 loans totaling $149,000 included in classified loans at September 30, 2025, and one additional loan totaling $210,000 included in the special mention risk grading category.

Other decreases to total assets during the quarter included a $4.1 million reduction in the balance of FHLB stock required to be held. Other assets decreased during the current quarter primarily due to the return of $9.1 million for a BOLI policy surrendered in the first quarter of 2025.
Total deposits decreased $1.3 million to $1.65 billion at September 30, 2025, compared to $1.65 billion at June 30, 2025, and decreased $58.3 million compared to $1.71 billion one year prior. During the third quarter of 2025, total customer deposit balances increased $1.3 million and brokered deposit balances decreased $2.6 million. The customer deposit mix continues to shift towards increased average balances of money market, savings and noninterest-bearing demand accounts while interest-bearing demand deposit and CD account average balances decreased. The deposit mix compared to September 30, 2024, reflects a shift in average balances to money market and customer CD accounts while the average balance of brokered CDs decreased. The rates paid on all interest-bearing accounts decreased compared to the same quarter one year ago.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed in this press release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, expectations of the business environment in which we operate, projections of future performance and execution on certain strategies, perceived opportunities in the market, potential future credit experience, including our ability to collect, the outcome of litigation and statements regarding our mission and vision, and include, but are not limited to, statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions that are not historical facts, and other statements often identified by words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based upon current management beliefs and expectations and may, therefore, involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Our actual results, performance, or achievements may differ materially from those suggested, expressed, or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of a wide variety of factors including, but not limited to: increased competitive pressures; changes in the interest rate environment; the credit risks of lending activities; pressures on liquidity, including as a result of withdrawals of deposits or declines in the value of our investment portfolio; changes in general economic conditions and conditions within the securities markets, including potential recessionary and other unfavorable conditions and trends relating to housing markets, unemployment levels, interest rates and inflationary pressures, among other things; legislative, regulatory, and policy changes; legal proceedings, regulatory investigations and their resolutions; and other factors described in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K under the section entitled "Risk Factors," and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"),which are available on our website at www.ourfirstfed.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Any of the forward-looking statements that we make in this press release and in the other public statements we make may turn out to be incorrect because of the inaccurate assumptions we might make, because of the factors illustrated above or because of other factors that we cannot foresee. Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by or on our behalf and the Company's operating and stock price performance may be negatively affected. Therefore, these factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We do not undertake and specifically disclaim any obligation to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements. These risks could cause our actual results for 2025 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements by, or on behalf of, us and could negatively affect the Company’s operations and stock price performance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains financial measures that are not in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Non-GAAP measures are presented where management believes the information will help investors understand the Company’s results of operations or financial position and assess trends. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure is also provided. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Other banking companies may use names similar to those the Company uses for the non-GAAP financial measures the Company discloses, but may calculate them differently. Investors should understand how the Company and other companies each calculate their non-GAAP financial measures when making comparisons. Reconciliations of the GAAP and non-GAAP measures are presented below.

(1) PPNR removes the provisions for credit loss and income tax from net income. This removes potentially volatile estimates, providing a comparative amount limited to income and expense recorded during the period. Adjusted PPNR further removes large nonrecurring transactions recorded during the period. We believe these metrics provide comparative amounts for a better review of recurring net revenue. |
