A strong second quarter saw net income climb 27% year-over-year to $4.7 million, or $1.80 per share, as a 15% increase in net interest income reflected expanding loan yields and easing funding costs. The net interest margin reached 3.92%, supported by robust loan growth of 11% year-over-year and declining deposit costs. The one blemish is a sharp rise in nonperforming loans to 0.84% of total loans, tied to a single commercial relationship where liquidation is being considered. Management believes the credit is well-secured, but the jump from 0.17% a year ago warrants attention. The bank's capital remains solid with tangible equity of 9.92% of assets, and the stock trades at 1.43x tangible book after a strong run to near its 52-week high.
