Loans are 87.5% of deposits, 7th of 12 against a median of 87.5%, and equity is 26.9% of assets, the highest in the cohort. Loans grew +9.6% in the year, 2nd of 12, and deposits grew 13.3%; the cohort's median loan growth is +1.5%.
Nothing on the book is noncurrent; 0.09% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance is 0.8% of loans, 6th of 12. Commercial real estate is 62.0% of loans, 11th of 12 against a median of 35.8%, and 145% of capital, below the 300% screen, with construction at 1% against the 100% screen.

Return on assets is 2.79%, the highest in the cohort against a median of 0.60%, on an efficiency ratio of 55.5%, 4th of 12. Five years ago it was -0.31%. The question is what the capital is for: the balance sheet carries less risk than it could.
