  • Affordable housing lending is expanding nationally, with 15% growth in the last year and very low loss history.

  • Revenue diversification efforts include growing fee income, especially from swap fees and investment advisory services.

  • No current dividend; capital is retained for growth and occasional share repurchases.

Financial performance and efficiency

  • Efficiency ratio target is 45–50, with potential to reach low 40s as technology investments pay off.

  • Overhead is well controlled, and total cost basis is lower than peers due to a smaller branch network.

  • Core deposit costs are in the mid-2% range, total deposit costs in the low 3% range due to wholesale funding.

  • Recent acquisition added a granular deposit base with minimal multifamily or CRE exposure.

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.
