Analysis · NRIM · Finance
A strong second quarter saw net income climb 12% sequentially to $15.3 million, fueled by an 11% year-over-year increase in net interest income and a 24-basis-point expansion in the net interest margin to 5.01%. The bank continues to benefit from loan repricing and lower deposit costs, while tangible book value per share rose to $13.34. However, nonperforming assets nearly doubled from the prior quarter to $23.0 million, concentrated in one well-collateralized commercial relationship, and the provision for credit losses rose to $1.6 million. The earnings beat and margin expansion are notable, but the sharp increase in NPAs warrants attention given the bank's Alaska-focused loan book and exposure to oil and gas sectors.
