Noncurrent loans are 0.15% of the book, the lowest in the cohort against a median of 2.06%; 0.05% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 7.9 times.

Return on assets is 1.32%, the lowest in the cohort against a median of 1.81%, on an efficiency ratio of 61.6%, 5th of 6. Five years ago it was 1.65%.
