"We are pleased with what our team accomplished in 2024. After the events of 2023, strengthening our balance sheet was our top priority for 2024 and we made great progress. Additionally, we finished the year with strong loan growth, an expanding net interest margin and a meaningful improvement in fee income. Although deposits decreased slightly during the fourth quarter, we grew core deposits $262 million in 2024 and have a robust pipeline as we enter 2025," said Mark D. Mordell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"The $4.3 million charge-off was a venture lending relationship that had been classified for the past 36 months while the borrower worked to find a buyer. Although the company is still operating, the length of time spent as a classified loan and the lack of progress finding a buyer led to the decision to charge off the loan. We believe a recovery is not likely, but we will continue to work with the borrower to maximize any chance at a recovery. We remain committed to maintaining excellent credit quality. I am pleased with the overall quality of our loan portfolio at year end, with nonperforming assets only 0.06% of total assets and classified loans 0.22% of total loans," added Mr. Mordell.
