Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Net Loss for Six Months: The Company reported a net loss of $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net income of $5.9 million in the prior year period. This decline was primarily driven by an $18.4 million increase in credit loss expense, largely due to a $16.7 million charge-off in the first quarter related to a land loan.
• Net Income for Quarter: For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net income was $3.9 million, an increase of $1.5 million from the prior year quarter, driven by higher net interest income and non-interest income.
• Balance Sheet Growth: Total assets increased 11.3% to $2.96 billion, and deposits grew 18.2% to $2.44 billion. The increase in cash and cash equivalents ($246.1 million) was primarily attributed to funds received from the IPO subscription offering.
• Interest Rate Environment: Net interest margin improved to 3.19% (Q2) and 3.12% (YTD) compared to 2.90% and 2.86% in the prior year, respectively, due to higher yields on earning assets and lower rates on interest-bearing liabilities.

Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• Conversion Completion: The conversion to a stock holding company was completed on July 31, 2025. The Company incurred $2.2 million in conversion and stock offering costs as of June 30, 2025.
• Credit Quality: The significant charge-off in the construction and land segment ($16.7 million) remains a material risk factor. Nonaccrual loans totaled $11.3 million at June 30, 2025, up from $4.0 million at year-end 2024.
• Market Risk: The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to manage exposure. A 200 basis point increase in rates is projected to decrease Net Interest Income by 2.6% and Economic Value of Equity (EVE) by 11.3%.
• Liquidity: Liquidity is strong, with $308.6 million in cash and equivalents and significant available borrowing capacity ($680.4 million from FHLB and $324.1 million from the Federal Reserve).
• Unusual Items: Non-interest income included a $250,000 gain on the sale of the Direct Merchant Processing Book and a $356,000 write-down of equipment no longer in use.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Charge-off Specifics: Verify the details and recovery potential of the $16.7 million land loan charge-off that drove the YTD net loss.
• Post-Conversion Capital: Review the final capital structure and retained earnings impact following the July 31, 2025 conversion to Avidia Bancorp.
• Deposit Composition: Analyze the stability of the $376 million deposit growth, specifically the portion attributed to IPO proceeds versus organic core deposit growth.
• Nonaccrual Trends: Monitor the trend in nonaccrual loans, which nearly tripled year-over-year, to assess future credit loss provisions.
• Expense Management: Evaluate the sustainability of the $4.5 million increase in non-interest expenses (YTD), particularly data processing and salary costs.
