Management Commentary
- CEO: “We saw growth in loans and deposits and net interest margin continued its upward trajectory as we were able to keep deposit and funding costs stable… We saw increases in nonperforming and criticized loans… but do not anticipate any losses.” .
- CFO: “The contractual rate on new loan originations was 7.44% in Q2… We expect noninterest income to be between $3.6 and $3.8 million over the next two quarters… Noninterest expenses are expected to be between $22.5 million and $23 million per quarter for the remainder of the year.” .
- CEO on deposits/Houston: “With the full-service branch, we’re able to attract more deposits… very convenient… to bring in much more on the deposit side…” .

- Rate sensitivity/NII: Asset-sensitivity modest; margin can still expand with origination yields offsetting rate cuts; CD terms kept short to react quickly .
- Deposit competitiveness: Core deposit growth prioritized via incentives; focus on reducing loan-to-deposit ratio to 90–92% by slowing large NOO CRE that carry low deposits .
- CDs pricing/retention: Renewal/new CD rates around ~3.85%/~4.1%; ~90% renewal retention .
- M&A criteria: Targets now $350M–$1B given improved P/TBV; majority of conversations in Texas, also Louisiana .
