Loans are 110.0% of deposits, the highest in the cohort against a median of 68.7%, and equity is 10.8% of assets, 9th of 12. Loans grew +67.5% in the year, the fastest in the cohort, and deposits grew 59.8%; the cohort's median loan growth is +3.4%.
Noncurrent loans are 3.62% of the book, 10th of 12 against a median of 0.91%; 0.10% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 0.2 times. Commercial real estate is 20.5% of loans, 2nd of 12 against a median of 44.7%, and 147% of capital, below the 300% screen, with construction at 58% against the 100% screen. CRE has grown +864.4% over 36 months, past the guidance's 50% prong.
Return on assets is 0.10%, the lowest in the cohort against a median of 1.60%, on an efficiency ratio of 89.0%, 11th of 12. Five years ago it was 1.23%. The question is whether the new lending seasons as cleanly as the book it joined, and what funded it.
