“We are pleased with our financial performance through the second quarter and first half of 2025,� said President and Chief Executive Officer, Cindy Kitner. “We delivered revenue growth and continued net interest margin improvement. We are encouraged by the steady, organic growth in our loan portfolio, which was driven by increases in residential and commercial real estate loan originations. Asset quality remained strong with nonperforming loans representing just 0.15% of total loans, which reflects our commitment to prudent underwriting and sound credit management practices. Our team focused on deposit initiatives to expand core banking relationships, which contributed to a positive shift in our deposit mix. Since year-end, noninterest bearing deposits increased $15 million and represent 26% of total deposits compared to 24% at year-end. As we enter the second half of the year, we remain focused on building momentum through deepening customer relationships and continued community investment, and we are confident that our disciplined approach to risk management positions us well to navigate economic uncertainties.�

Net interest income totaled $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $570 thousand, or 17.5%, compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 2024. Total interest income was $6.5 million, representing an increase of $470 thousand, or 7.8%, from $6.0 million for the second quarter of 2024. This change was primarily due to an increase of $511 thousand in interest income on loans, offset in part by a decline in interest income on investment securities of $60 thousand.
For the second quarter of 2025, total interest expense was $2.6 million, representing a decline of $100 thousand, or 3.7%, from $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2024. This change was primarily due to a decline in interest expense on borrowings of $344 thousand, offset in part by an increase in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits of $244 thousand.
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2025 totaled $604 thousand, compared to $582 thousand for the second quarter of 2024. Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024 was $3.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively.
