The company reported quarterly net income in the tens of millions of dollars for this most recent period in 2026, with management highlighting both the absolute profit level and the trajectory compared with the prior-year quarter, as loan yields, funding costs and fee income all contributed to the outcome in the reported quarter.

Management pointed to the net interest margin achieved in this latest 2026 quarter as a core indicator of the bank's ability to balance asset yields with deposit and wholesale funding costs, noting the change versus the prior-year quarter and describing how loan mix, rate hedges and deposit repricing influenced the margin trend.
