Executive summary

  • Completed exit from SBA 7(a) lending, selling $96.6–$97 million in loan balances, reducing headcount from 299 to 144, and refocusing on community banking in Tampa Bay and Sarasota.

  • Ranked third in deposits among banks with assets under $10B in the Tampa Bay-Sarasota region, with $1.3 billion in assets and $1.18 billion in deposits at year-end 2025.

  • Treasury management revenue grew 69% year-over-year in Q4 2025, with checking accounts up 6% year-to-date.

  • Achieved organic deposit growth of $12.5 million in Q4, with 85% of deposits insured.

  • Loan portfolio is well-diversified, with a significant reduction in total loans due to SBA 7(a) exit.

  • Net interest margin was 3.58% in Q4 2025, down 3 bps sequentially, with net interest income at $11.2 million.

  • Noninterest income was negative $104,000 to $0.1 million, a sequential improvement but down from $22.3 million in Q4 2024 due to lower loan sale gains.

  • Noninterest expense was $11.9 million, down from $25.2 million in Q3 2025, mainly due to lower compensation and restructuring charges.

  • Tangible book value per share declined to $17.22 at year-end 2025 from $22.95 at year-end 2024.

Outlook and guidance

  • Ongoing wind-down of the SBA 7(a) portfolio and potential further sales of unguaranteed balances expected to improve asset quality and reduce risk.

  • Strategic plan for 2026 centers on fortifying the balance sheet, disciplined risk management, and organic growth.

  • Cautionary statements highlight ongoing risks from economic, regulatory, and market conditions.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
