risk
#1 of 12 • Bottom 86.0% in tier

Asset growth stalled (-2% to +2%) despite healthy profitability (>0.25% ROA). Suggests untapped opportunity or strategic drift worth investigating.

Why This Signature
Asset Growth (YoY): 0.45%
(Tier: 6.52%, National: 3.30%)
worse than tier avg
Return on Assets: 0.97%
(Tier: 0.84%, National: 1.23%)
but better than tier avg

↓ Shrinking -6 CUs YoY | New qualifier

Deposit Outflow

decline
#13 of 23 • Bottom 90.1% in tier

Members staying (>= -1% YoY) but deposits leaving. They're moving money to higher-yield competitors - rate pressure is real.

Why This Signature
Deposit Growth (YoY): -0.72%
(Tier: 6.36%, National: 100.69%)
worse than tier avg
Member Growth (YoY): 0.90%
(Tier: 3.16%, National: 15.67%)

risk
#174 of 193 • Bottom 86.0% in tier

(Tier: 6.52%, National: 3.30%)
worse than tier avg
Indirect Auto %: 21.60%
(Tier: 18.08%, National: 7.71%)

Credit Quality Pressure

risk
#194 of 215 • Bottom 52.2% in tier

(Tier: 0.06% points, National: 0.08% points)
but better than tier avg
215 of 377 Mid-Market CUs have this signature | 962 nationally

worse than tier avg
Delinquency Change (YoY): 0.03% points
(Tier: 0.06% points, National: 0.08% points)
but better than tier avg
