A standout quarter saw net income more than double year-over-year to $78.3 million, fueled by an 83% plunge in credit loss provisions as asset quality improved across the board. Criticized loans fell for the fifth straight quarter, nonperforming loans dropped 17%, and charge-offs declined sharply — signaling that the multi-family credit stress which weighed on 2025 results is receding. The balance sheet hit a new high of $21.2 billion in assets, tangible book value per share reached a record $39.93, and liquidity remained robust at $13 billion. These results confirm the company's recovery trajectory and the resilience of its diversified lending model in a still-elevated rate environment.
