    Kyle German's questions to Colony Bankcorp Inc (CBAN) leadership • Q2 2025

    Question

    Kyle German of Huff Group inquired about the overall health of the loan portfolio, particularly the SBA segment, and asked about the remaining runway for loan repricing to improve net interest margin.

    Answer

    CEO Heath Fountain described credit quality as stable with improving trends and no systemic issues. He noted that while the SBA portfolio may see elevated charge-offs on older loans, this is offset by strong revenue. CFO Derek Shelnutt added that some nonperforming loan increases are due to repurchasing government-guaranteed portions for workout, mitigating losses. Fountain confirmed significant opportunity remains for asset repricing, with new loans originating well above the current portfolio yield, which will continue to drive margin expansion at a moderate pace.
