Brandon Lorey States 2025 Was a Pivotal Year for the Company
Brandon Lorey, President and CEO, stated, "2025 was a pivotal year for our organization, marked by a successful capital raise, the strategic balance sheet repositioning, and subsequent uplist to NASDAQ that have significantly strengthened our balance sheet and improved our forward earnings profile. Net of the 2024 sale leaseback transaction, annualized return on average assets increased 36%, led by a 19% improvement in net interest margin over the year. Importantly, the steps we have taken-both operationally and strategically-have further strengthened our franchise value, positioning us for sustained growth, resilience, and enhanced competitiveness in the years ahead. I want to extend my sincere appreciation to our employees, whose dedication and professionalism made this progress possible. To our customers, thank you for placing your trust in us every day. And to our shareholders, we are grateful for your continued confidence and support as we advance our strategic priorities."
