Net loan growth $856 million linked quarter, with a 6 basis points net interest margin expansion and an 18% year-over-year increase in book value per share. Reasons include strong returns evidenced by a 17% return on average common equity and a 1.9% return on assets.
Net interest income $280 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, up 7.7% from $260 million in the prior year period. Reasons include accelerated accretion of the purchase price discount from an FDIC purchase pool loan payoff, which increased net interest income by approximately $450,000.
Total on-balance sheet deposits Increased 7.6% year-over-year to $21 million. Reasons include a diverse and granular deposit base across consumer, commercial banking, and securities businesses supporting organic loan growth.
Noninterest expenses $151 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, up by $4.4 million from the prior quarter. Excluding a $1.9 million reversal of a legal accrual in the prior quarter, expenses were up $2.5 million. Reasons include incremental expenses from a new floor plan financing team and annual merit compensation increases.
Net income Approximately $110.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $105.2 million in the prior quarter. Reasons include a $12 million pretax gain from the sale of multifamily loans and a $5.5 million onetime noncash deferred tax impairment.
Diluted EPS $1.92 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1.81 in the prior quarter. Reasons include the same factors affecting net income, such as the multifamily loan sale gain and deferred tax impairment.
Total nonaccrual loans Declined by $15 million linked quarter, improving the nonaccrual loans to total loans ratio by 89 basis points to 79 basis points as of June 30, 2025. Reasons include reductions in nonaccrual loans in the C&I portfolio and commercial real estate lending business.
Assets under custody Increased from $37.1 billion at March 31, 2025, to $39.4 billion at June 30, 2025. Reasons include positive net new asset momentum and a rebound in the stock market.
