Noncurrent loans are 1.55% of the book, the highest in the cohort against a median of 0.30%; 0.32% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 0.7 times. Commercial real estate is 38.5% of loans, 6th of 12 against a median of 38.6%, and 214% of capital, below the 300% screen, with construction at 0% against the 100% screen.
Return on assets is 0.90%, 9th of 11 against a median of 1.22%, on an efficiency ratio of 59.2%, 9th of 11. Five years ago it was 1.19%. The question is where the nonperforming loans sit by category, and whether the allowance and the capital behind them hold under a loss path.
