Concerns (5)

Indirect Auto Dependency

risk
#36 of 504 • Bottom 50.0% in tier

Significant portion of loan portfolio in indirect auto (>15%). This concentration creates dependency on dealer relationships.

Why This Signature
Asset Growth (YoY): 7.55%
(Tier: 4.68%, National: 1663.40%)
but better than tier avg
Indirect Auto %: 49.97%
(Tier: 13.80%, National: 7.73%)
worse than tier avg
Member Growth (YoY): 2.40%
(Tier: 0.72%, National: 10.19%)
but better than tier avg
504 of 1070 Mid-Small & Community CUs have this signature | 745 nationally
↓ Shrinking -29 CUs YoY | Rank improving

Credit Quality Pressure

risk
#61 of 727 • Bottom 50.0% in tier

Delinquencies are rising year-over-year. Credit risk is building - they may need better underwriting tools.

Why This Signature
Delinquency Change (YoY): 0.74% points
(Tier: 0.03% points, National: 0.12% points)
worse than tier avg
727 of 1070 Mid-Small & Community CUs have this signature | 1013 nationally
↓ Shrinking -60 CUs YoY | Rank improving

Credit Risk Growth

risk
#142 of 476 • Bottom 50.0% in tier

Why This Signature
Loan Growth (YoY): 3.75%
(Tier: 4.14%, National: 1.74%)
worse than tier avg
Delinquency Change (YoY): 0.74% points
(Tier: 0.03% points, National: 0.12% points)

476 of 1070 Mid-Small & Community CUs have this signature | 710 nationally
→ No prior data (476 CUs now) | New qualifier

Cost Spiral

risk
#26 of 83 • Bottom 50.0% in tier

Historically lean operator (<75% efficiency) now seeing 5+ point efficiency ratio increase despite strong profitability (>0.50% ROA). Efficiency advantage eroding.

Why This Signature
Efficiency Ratio Change: 11.72% points
(Tier: -1.19% points, National: 2.52% points)
worse than tier avg
Efficiency Ratio (Prior Year): 36.92%
(Tier: 60.69%, National: 64.04%)
but better than tier avg
83 of 1070 Mid-Small & Community CUs have this signature | 96 nationally
→ Stable (87→83 CUs) -4 CUs YoY | New qualifier

Margin Compression

decline
#103 of 133 • Bottom 50.0% in tier

Profitability above 0.75% ROA but margins eroding by at least 0.10%. Something changed - rising costs or falling yields need addressing.

Why This Signature
Return on Assets: 0.86%
(Tier: 0.72%, National: 0.39%)
but better than tier avg
ROA (Prior Year): 1.23%
(Tier: 0.67%, National: 0.75%)

ROA Change (YoY): -0.37% points
(Tier: 0.05% points, National: -0.45% points)
