Forward Guidance

Management anticipates continued strength in net interest income and credit quality, supported by core deposit growth and improved delinquency trends.

Positive Outlook

  • Expectations for further core deposit growth creating a sustainable funding base.
  • Improved net interest margin driven by reduced cost of deposits.
  • Anticipated continued improvement in provision for loan losses.
  • Better credit performance with lower non-accrual loans and early stage delinquencies.

Challenges Ahead

  • Volatility in the operating environment remains a concern.
