Net interest income increased $7.2 million to $194.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $187.1 million for the trailing quarter. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to originations of new loans and securities at current market rates, partially offset by a decrease in average lower-costing deposits.

The weighted average yield on interest-earning assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 increased eight basis points to 5.76%, compared to the trailing quarter.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a $4.5 million provision for credit losses on loans, compared with a benefit to the provision for credit losses on loans of $2.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The provision for credit losses on loans in the quarter was primarily attributable to overall growth in the loan portfolio, combined with a modestly weakened CECL economic forecast compared to the prior quarter. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, net charge-offs totaled $5.4 million, or an annualized 11 basis points of average loans, compared with net charge-offs of $1.2 million, or an annualized 3 basis points of average loans for the trailing quarter.

Wealth management income increased $401,000 to $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the trailing quarter, mainly due to an increase in the average market value of assets under management during the period.

Partially offsetting these increases in non-interest income, insurance agency income decreased $1.1 million to $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the trailing quarter, mainly due to normal seasonality of business activity in the current quarter.

Non-interest expense totaled $113.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.5 million, compared to $114.6 million for the trailing quarter.

Net interest income increased $144.3 million to $563.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $418.9 million for same period in 2024.

Other income increased $3.0 million to $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2024, primarily due to an increase in gains on sales of SBA and mortgage loans and other miscellaneous income. Additionally, insurance agency income increased $1.5 million to $14.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $12.9 million for the same period in 2024, largely due to increases in contingent commissions, retention revenue and new business activity. Partially offsetting these increases in non-interest income, BOLI income decreased $2.1 million to $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in benefit claims recognized, combined with lower equity valuations, while wealth management income decreased $1.3 million to $21.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, mainly due to a decrease in the average market value of assets under management during the period.

Other operating expenses increased $7.0 million to $44.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $37.4 million for the same period in 2024, primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in write-downs on foreclosed property, combined with additional expenses due to the addition of Lakeland.

Additionally, prior year pre-tax income was negatively impacted by the initial CECL provision for credit losses on loans of $60.1 million recorded in accordance with GAAP requirements for accounting for business combinations from the Lakeland merger.

The Company’s total non-performing loans as of September 30, 2025 were $100.4 million, or 0.52% of total loans held for investment, compared to $107.2 million, or 0.56% of total loans as of June 30, 2025 and $72.1 million, or 0.39% of total loans as of December 31, 2024.

At September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, there were no non-accrual or past due loans held for sale, respectively.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held foreclosed assets of $2.0 million and $9.5 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there was a write-down of one foreclosed commercial property of $2.7 million based on a contracted sales price. The sale of this property closed in the second quarter of 2025, which reduced foreclosed assets by an additional $5.8 million. There was one addition to foreclosed assets with an aggregate carrying value of $1.0 million. Foreclosed assets as of September 30, 2025 were comprised of two commercial properties. Total non-performing assets at September 30, 2025 increased $20.9 million to $102.4 million, or 0.41% of total assets, from $81.5 million, or 0.34% of total assets at December 31, 2024.

Balance Sheet Summary

Total assets as of September 30, 2025 were $24.83 billion, a $780.9 million increase from December 31, 2024. The increase in total assets was primarily due to a $626.7 million increase in loans held for investment and a $344.3 million increase in total investments, partially offset by a $148.1 million decrease in loans held for sale, and decreases in intangibles and other assets.

The Company’s loans held for investment portfolio totaled $19.29 billion as of September 30, 2025 and $18.66 billion as of December 31, 2024. The loan portfolio consisted of the following:

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the loans held for investment portfolio had net increases of $149.0 million of commercial loans, $52.0 million of mortgage warehouse lines, $17.2 million of multi-family loans and $4.8 million of commercial mortgage loans, partially offset by net decreases of $32.0 million of construction loans, $7.9 million of residential mortgage loans and $2.2 million of consumer loans. Total commercial loans, including mortgage warehouse lines, commercial mortgage, multi-family and construction loans, represented 86.6% of the loan portfolio as of September 30, 2025, compared to 85.9% as of December 31, 2024.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, loan funding, including advances on lines of credit, totaled $7.00 billion, compared with $2.53 billion for the same period in 2024.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s unfunded loan commitments totaled $3.82 billion, including commitments of $2.20 billion in commercial loans, $572.9 million in construction loans and $312.0 million in commercial mortgage loans. Unfunded loan commitments as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024 were $2.73 billion and $2.97 billion, respectively.

The loan pipeline, consisting of work-in-process and loans approved pending closing, totaled $2.89 billion as of September 30, 2025, compared to $1.79 billion and $1.98 billion as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, respectively.

Total investment securities were $3.57 billion as of September 30, 2025, a $344.3 million increase from December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to purchases of mortgage-backed securities and a decrease in unrealized losses on available for sale debt securities.

Total deposits increased $472.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, to $19.10 billion. Total savings and demand deposit accounts increased $276.2 million to $15.73 billion as of September 30, 2025, while total time deposits increased $196.2 million to $3.36 billion as of September 30, 2025. The increase in time deposits consisted of a $204.3 million increase in brokered time deposits, partially offset by an $8.1 million decrease in retail time deposits. The increase in savings and demand deposits was largely attributable to $270.6 million increase in interest bearing demand deposits and a $144.5 million increase in money market deposits, partially offset by a $101.7 million decrease in savings deposits and a $37.2 million decrease in non-interest bearing demand deposits.

Borrowed funds increased $188.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, to $2.21 billion. Borrowed funds represented 8.9% of total assets as of September 30, 2025, an increase from 8.4% as of December 31, 2024.

Stockholders’ equity increased $165.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, to $2.77 billion, primarily due to net income earned for the period and a decrease in unrealized losses on available for sale debt securities, partially offset by cash dividends paid to stockholders. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, common stock repurchases totaled 1,335 shares at an average cost of $18.15 per share and 157,905 shares at an average cost of $18.07 per share, respectively, all of which were made in connection with withholding to cover income taxes on the vesting of stock-based compensation.

Book value per share and tangible book value per share(1) as of September 30, 2025 were $21.18 and $15.13, respectively, compared with $19.93 and $13.66, respectively, as of December 31, 2024.

Notes and Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Dollars in Thousands, except share data)
 

The Company has presented the following non-GAAP (U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures because it believes that these measures provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how the Company evaluates its performance internally and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry. Investors should recognize that the Company’s presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and the Company strongly encourages a review of its condensed consolidated financial statements in their entirety.
