The Miami‑based bank holding company reported a tangible book value of $12.64 per share, reflecting a $1.11 increase and a 9.6% rise from the $11.53 level a year earlier.

Dividend Holds Steady

The board reaffirmed the $0.125 per‑share cash dividend. Keeping the payout steady signals confidence in the company’s cash‑flow generation despite modest loan‑asset growth. Shareholders can continue to rely on this regular income, underscoring the company’s dedication to returning value without increasing capital costs.

The allowance for credit losses accounted for 1.15% of total loans, marginally lower than the 1.18% share previously reported. Non‑performing loans totaled $2.1 million, up from $1.4 million, and the non‑performing loan ratio moved to 0.09% versus 0.06% earlier. Although both the allowance and ratio have risen slightly, they remain low, indicating a generally sound loan portfolio.

Concurrently, non‑interest expense rose to $14.0 million, a $1.3 million increase or 10.5% versus the $12.6 million previously disclosed. The faster growth of expenses relative to income compressed operating margins, highlighting cost pressures from staffing and technology investments. Managing these expense trends will be critical for preserving profitability.

Capital Strength and Next Steps

Risk‑based capital ratios stood at 13.88% for the holding company and 13.68% for the bank, comfortably above the well‑capitalized threshold. Tangible book value per share climbed to $12.64, offset partially by a per‑share reduction of $1.70 linked to other comprehensive loss items. The strong capital buffers and rising book value provide resilience amid modest expense expansion.

The forthcoming earnings call on July 24 will offer guidance on loan growth, expense management, and future performance outlook.
