The period reflects the post-acquisition integration of Integrated Financial Holdings, Inc.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Net income increased 60.1% year-over-year for the quarter and 83.3% year-over-year for the six months, driven primarily by the inclusion of IFH operations and organic loan growth.
- Noninterest Income Surge: Noninterest income nearly doubled (90.2% increase QoQ) due to new revenue streams from Windsor Advantage (government loan servicing) and government lending revenue, which were not present in the prior year.
- Expense Increases: Noninterest expenses rose 34.2% for the quarter, largely due to a $1.4 million increase in merger-related expenses, higher salaries and benefits ($5.2 million increase), and increased occupancy costs.
- Asset Quality: Net charge-offs increased to $5.1 million for the quarter (0.75% annualized) compared to $1.9 million in the prior year, driven by higher volumes in the OpenSky credit card portfolio and specific commercial real estate charge-offs.
- Margin Compression: The consolidated Net Interest Margin decreased 42 basis points to 6.04%, attributed to the acquisition of lower-yielding commercial loans from IFH, which diluted the high yields from the OpenSky segment.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Dividend Increase: The Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share, a 20% increase from the prior quarter, payable August 27, 2025.
- Capital Management: The Company remains "well capitalized." It repurchased 93,170 shares in Q2 2025, with $11.9 million remaining under its current repurchase program expiring February 2026.
- Interest Rate Risk: The Company maintains an asset-sensitive position. Earnings at Risk (EAR) simulations indicate that a 100 basis point increase in rates would increase net interest income by 4.1%, while a 100 basis point decrease would reduce it by 3.8%.
- Key Risks:
- Credit Quality: Elevated net charge-offs in the credit card portfolio and specific commercial real estate exposures.
- Integration Risk: Ongoing integration of IFH systems and operations.
- Regulatory Environment: Changes in SBA/USDA lending rules could impact Windsor Advantage revenue.
- Interest Rate Volatility: Sensitivity to changes in the yield curve affecting NIM and economic value of equity.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Merger Integration: Verify the timeline and cost realization of the IFH acquisition integration, specifically regarding the $2.7 million in merger-related expenses incurred YTD.
- Credit Card Portfolio: Analyze the trend in net charge-offs for the OpenSky segment, which accounted for a significant portion of total charge-offs ($2.1 million in Q2).
- Commercial Real Estate (CRE): Review the concentration and performance of owner-occupied CRE loans, which saw $1.7 million in net charge-offs in Q2.
- Non-GAAP Reconciliation: Review the "Core Earnings" metrics (excluding merger costs) to assess underlying operational performance versus GAAP results.
- Deposit Stability: Monitor the mix of brokered deposits ($270.1 million) versus core deposits to assess funding stability.
