Joseph J. Thomas, President, and CEO, commented, "We are pleased to start off 2025 with strong results with net income increasing 73.4% over the comparable quarter in 2024 sustaining the momentum we gained in the second half of last year. We continue to see improvement in our cost of funds dropping 23 basis points in the first quarter enabling net interest margin expansion of 59 basis points to 3.03%. Despite the challenging economic environment, we continue to see improvement in the credit quality of our loan portfolio with non-accrual loans down 22% to $10.7 million. Our entire team is working hard to grow local, core deposits and we experienced a 26% annualized increase in non-interest deposits in the quarter. With our organic core deposit growth, cash flow from investments, and loan pre-payments, we are driving improved financial performance and franchise profile."
First Quarter 2025 Highlights include:
The Company posted net income of $2,019,348 or $0.28 per diluted share for the first quarter compared to net income of $1,156,906 or $0.16 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and net income of $1,164,226 or $0.16 per diluted share for the three months ending March 31, 2024.
Tangible Book Value per share increased during the quarter to $11.87 on March 31, 2025, compared to $11.39 on December 31, 2024.
Return on Average Assets ("ROAA") was 0.76% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to ROAA of 0.41% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, and 0.43% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Return on Average Equity ("ROAE") was 9.95% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to ROAE of 5.58% for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and 6.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Total Assets were $1.08 billion on March 31, 2025, a decrease of $8.3 million or 0.77% from total assets on December 31, 2024.
Loans held-for-investment (excluding PPP loans) decreased by $15.1 million or 1.96% during the quarter.
Total deposits increased by $1.34 million or by 0.15% during the quarter. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased by $8.83 million during the quarter to $142.5 million and represented 15.64% of total deposits on March 31, 2025.
The net interest margin1 increased in the first quarter to 3.03%, higher by 59 basis points compared to the linked quarter and higher by 49 basis points compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in the net interest margin across linked quarters was a result of lower funding costs and recognition of previously uncollected interest from problem loan resolutions, with such interest contributing 41 basis points to the net interest margin.
The cost of funds was 3.23% for the first quarter, lower by 23 basis points compared to the linked quarter and lower by 37 basis points compared to the same period in 2024, as a result of a decline in deposit costs and borrowing costs.
Non-interest income decreased by 23% compared to the linked quarter and decreased by 16.70% compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in non-interest income in the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to lower revenue from the gain on sale of SBA loans and bank service charges and fees.
Non-interest expense decreased by $447,994 in the first quarter or by 6.93% compared to the linked quarter and decreased by 3.3% compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in expenses compared to the linked quarter was largely due to a reduction in non-recurring expenses in prior periods primarily related to software costs for the new online banking platform, consulting fees related to FDICIA, and legal fees related to loan workouts. Excluding these non-recurring costs, non-interest expenses would have been flat to the prior quarter.
The Efficiency Ratio2 was 69.22% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to 84.07% for the linked quarter and 80.64% for the same period in 2024.
Uninsured deposits were 22.50% of total deposits and total liquidity to uninsured deposits3 was 122.33% of uninsured deposits on March 31, 2025.
Net charge offs were 0.03% of average loans compared to 0.26% in the prior quarter. The ratio of non-accrual loans to loans held-for-investment was 1.45% on March 31, 2025, compared to 1.78% on December 31, 2024, and 1.74% on March 31, 2024. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 1.01% on March 31, 2025, compared to 1.25% on December 31, 2024, and 1.21% on March 31, 2024.
The Company recognized a provision for loan losses of $284,683, primarily related to specific reserves for one loan relationship.
The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans held-for-investment was 0.88% compared to 0.85% in the linked quarter.
The Company continues to be well capitalized and capital ratios continue to be strong with a Leverage ratio of 10.76%, Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 14.14%, Tier 1 Risk Based Capital ratio of 14.14% and a Total Capital ratio of 14.95% as of March 31, 2025.
Net Interest Income The Company recorded net interest income of $7.72 million for the first quarter of 2025, higher by 20.17% compared to the linked quarter, and lower by 17.91% compared to the same period in 2024. The net interest margin in the first quarter of 2025 was 3.03%, higher by 59 basis points compared to the linked quarter and higher by 49 basis points compared to the same period in 2024.
The following factors contributed to the changes in net interest margin during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the linked and calendar quarters.
Yields on average earning assets were 6.11% in the first quarter of 2025, higher by 35 basis points compared to the linked quarter, and higher by 12 basis points compared to the prior year calendar quarter. The increase in yields on average earning assets in the first quarter was primarily due to recognition of uncollected interest from problem loan resolutions.
Loan yields increased by 59 basis points to 6.74% from 6.15% in the linked quarter, while yields on investment securities decreased by 14 basis points to 4.55% from 4.69% in the linked quarter. Loan yields increased by 35 basis points, while yields on investment securities decreased by 33 basis points compared to the calendar quarter.
Cost of funds decreased by 23 basis points to 3.23% from 3.46% in the linked quarter, and by 37 basis points compared to the prior year quarter, due to lower deposit costs.
Non-interest Income Non-interest income was $1 million for the first quarter, a decrease of 23% when compared to the linked quarter and an increase of 16.70% when compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in non-interest income in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the linked quarter was due to lower revenue from the gain on sale of SBA loans and bank service charges and fees.
Total Revenue4 Total revenue, defined as the sum of net interest income, before provision for loan losses, and non-interest income, was higher by 13.04% compared to the linked quarter and higher by 12.65% compared to the calendar quarter in 2024. The increase in total revenue compared to the linked quarter was due to an increase in the net interest margin.
Non-interest Expense Non-interest expense in the first quarter decreased by $447,995 or by 6.93% compared to the linked quarter and decreased by 3.30% compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in expenses compared to the linked quarter was largely non-recurring and primarily related to personnel costs, an increase in software costs for the new online banking platform, consulting fees related to FDICIA compliance, and legal fees related to loan workouts. Excluding these non-recurring costs, non-interest expenses would have been flat to the prior quarter. The increase in expenses compared to the calendar quarter primarily related to higher compensation costs, higher occupancy costs and higher professional fees, largely related to legal fees and accounting fees related to FDICIA.
The Efficiency Ratio was 69.22% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, compared to 84.07% for the linked quarter and 80.64% for the same period in 2024.
Asset Quality Non-accrual loans decreased in the first quarter and were 1.45% of loans held-for-investment compared to 1.78% of loans held-for-investment at the end of the linked quarter.

The Company recognized a provision for loan losses of $284,683, primarily related to specific reserves for one loan relationship.
The Company's ratio of Allowance for Loan Losses to loans held-for-investment was 0.88% as of March 31, 2025, compared to the ratio of Allowance for Loan Losses to loans held-for-investment of 0.85% as of December 31, 2024.
