Loans are 70.1% of deposits, 4th of 6 against a median of 70.0%, and equity is 13.3% of assets, 3rd of 6. Loans grew +18.7% in the year, the fastest in the cohort, and deposits grew 6.1%; the cohort's median loan growth is +0.4%.
Noncurrent loans are 1.84% of the book, 5th of 6 against a median of 1.39%; 1.32% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 1.7 times. Net charge-offs are 0.53% of loans, 4th of 6. Commercial real estate is 27.4% of loans, 5th of 6 against a median of 12.1%, and 117% of capital, below the 300% screen, with construction at 32% against the 100% screen.
Return on assets is 0.99%, 4th of 6 against a median of 1.14%, on an efficiency ratio of 50.3%, the lowest in the cohort. Five years ago it was 0.75%. The question is whether the new lending seasons as cleanly as the book it joined, and what funded it.
