Portfolio Mix

First Mortgage (%)

Indirect Auto (%)

Share Certificates (%)

Portfolio composition shifted toward real estate concentration. First mortgage exposure increased to 26.90% from 26.87% quarterly and rose 4.19 percentage points year-over-year. Indirect auto lending decreased to 12.06% from 12.31% quarterly and fell 5.52 percentage points annually, while certificate concentrations expanded across both periods.

Strategic Implications

  • Rapid loan growth acceleration suggests successful market penetration but requires careful capital management given declining net worth ratios.
  • Strong delinquency improvement provides capacity for continued aggressive lending while maintaining asset quality standards.
  • Portfolio shift toward first mortgages and away from indirect auto aligns with current rate environment opportunities.
  • Capital preservation strategies needed to support continued growth momentum while maintaining regulatory compliance buffers.
