Earnings per share (EPS) $0.65 per share for Q2 2025, reflecting the company's earnings performance for the quarter.
Total loans Grew by 1% quarter-over-quarter and by 3% versus Q2 2024. Adjusted for the loan sale in January, total loans in Q2 were up nearly 6% year-over-year.

Net interest margin (NIM) 3.04% in Q2 2025, up 7 basis points from Q1 2025 and 29 basis points year-over-year, driven by higher asset yields and lower liability costs.
