- Results modestly beat Wall Street: EPS $0.98 vs $0.815 consensus and revenue $19.95M vs $19.39M consensus; beats were supported by higher securities yields post-portfolio repositioning, lower FHLB interest expense, and stronger gain-on-sale income .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Margin recovery story intact: securities repositioning and funding mix shifts are expanding NIM and lifting core profitability; NIM at 3.42% is a notable pivot from Q1 .
- Capital and liquidity strength: post-raise equity, reduced borrowings, and significant liquidity (liquid assets $535.9M, borrowing availability $499.1M) support resilience and optionality .
- Watch asset quality: NPAs remain elevated due to two relationships; management is actively resolving (short sale/receivership) and built specific reserves; further material write-downs on the three DC properties are not anticipated .
- Deposit durability is a swing factor: large noninterest-bearing inflows from two business sales boosted deposits and LDR; retention of these balances will influence future NIM and funding costs .
- Noninterest income lever: SBA and mortgage gain-on-sale volumes improved; maintaining SBA execution could underpin fee revenue diversity .
- Dividend maintained at $0.31; with improved profitability and capital, payout remains supported, though management remains disciplined .
- Near-term stock catalysts: continued NIM expansion, clarity on problem credit resolutions, and evidence of retention of recent deposit inflows should be positive; loss of transient deposits or new credit issues would be headwinds .
Footnotes and clarifications:
- Q2 provision for credit losses totals $0.668M on the income statement, while provision for credit losses on loans was $0.856M; the difference reflects other elements of credit provisioning .
- Non-GAAP metrics (NIM tax-equivalent, efficiency ratio, adjusted income) follow company-defined methodologies detailed in reconciliations .
