"Over the past several quarters, our deposit mix has shifted toward higher-yielding deposit products, consistent with trends seen across the community banking sector in response to a sustained high interest rate environment. Following the rate cuts from the latter half of 2024, we have begun to see a moderation in deposit pricing. We anticipate this trend will continue as maturing certificates of deposit reprice at lower rates,' said Miranda Spaulding, CFO. 'However, we remain cautious, as emerging inflationary pressures-including potential impacts from new tariffs and broader cost increases-could influence future interest rate policy and impact our current repricing expectations.'
Total deposits increased to $1.74 billion at June 30, 2025, compared to $1.62 billion at June 30, 2024, and $1.69 billion at March 31, 2025.

Operating Results
'The combination of higher yields on interest-earning assets and a decline in our cost of funds led to a 17-basis point increase in our net interest margin this second quarter compared to the prior quarter. Given the current Fed rate environment, we expect further improvement in our funding costs moving forward,' said Spaulding.
Eagle's NIM was 3.91% in the second quarter of 2025, a 17-basis point increase compared to 3.74% in the preceding quarter and a 50-basis point improvement compared to the second quarter a year ago. The interest accretion on acquired loans totaled $607,000 and resulted in a 13 basis-point increase in the NIM during the second quarter of 2025, compared to $172,000 and a four basis-point increase in the NIM during the preceding quarter. Average yields on interest earning assets for the second quarter of 2025 increased to 5.85%, compared to 5.76% in the first quarter of 2025 and 5.64% in the second quarter a year ago. Funding costs for the second quarter of 2025 were 2.45%, compared to 2.54% in the first quarter of 2025 and 2.78% in the second quarter of 2024. For the first six months of 2025, NIM expanded 45 basis points to 3.82% compared to 3.37% for the first six months of 2024.
Net interest income, before the provision for credit losses, increased 7.4% to $18.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $16.9 million in the first quarter of 2025, and increased 16.1% compared to $15.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. Year-to-date, net interest income increased 13.6% to $35.0 million, compared to $30.8 million in the same period one year earlier.
Revenues for the second quarter of 2025 increased 9.7% to $23.0 million, compared to $20.9 million in the preceding quarter and increased 15.3% compared to $19.9 million in the second quarter a year ago. In the first six months of 2025, revenues were $43.9 million, a 12.3% increase compared to $39.1 million in the first six months of 2024.
Total noninterest income increased 19.7% to $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $4.0 million in the preceding quarter, and increased 12.6% compared to $4.3 million in the second quarter a year ago. Net mortgage banking income, the largest component of noninterest income, totaled $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $2.1 million in the preceding quarter and $2.4 million in the second quarter a year ago. This increase compared to the preceding quarter was largely driven by an increase in net gain on sale of mortgage loans. In the first six months of 2025, noninterest income increased 7.3% to $8.8 million, compared to $8.2 million in the first six months of 2024. Net mortgage banking income increased 9.9% to $5.1 million in the first six months of 2025, compared to $4.6 million in the first six months of 2024.
Eagle's second quarter noninterest expense was $17.9 million, an increase of 5.4% compared to $17.0 million in the preceding quarter and a 3.6% increase compared to $17.3 million in the second quarter a year ago. Higher salaries and employee benefits expense contributed to the quarter-over-quarter increase and was driven by an increase in commissions expense due to higher mortgage originations. In the first six months of 2025, noninterest expense increased 1.7% to $34.9 million, compared to $34.3 million in the first six months of 2024.
For the second quarter of 2025, the Company recorded income tax expense of $751,000. This compared to income tax expense of $631,000 in the preceding quarter and $444,000 in the second quarter of 2024. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2025 was 18.8%, compared to 16.3% for the first quarter of 2025 and 20.3% for the second quarter of 2024. The year-to-date effective tax rate was 17.6% for 2025 compared to 18.3% for the same period in 2024. The effective tax rate has been impacted by an increase in the proportion of tax-exempt income compared to pretax earnings, as well as tax credits from investments in low-income housing tax credit projects.
Credit Quality
During the second quarter of 2025, Eagle recorded a $1.0 million provision for credit losses. This compared to a $42,000 provision for credit losses in the preceding quarter and a $412,000 provision for credit losses in the second quarter a year ago. The allowance for credit losses represented 348.8% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2025, compared to 313.2% three months earlier and 330.8% a year earlier. Nonperforming loans were $5.1 million at June 30, 2025, $5.3 million at March 31, 2025, and $5.1 million a year earlier. Net loan charge-offs totaled $48,000 in the second quarter of 2025, compared to net loan charge-offs of $2,000 in both the preceding quarter and in the second quarter a year ago. The allowance for credit losses was $17.7 million, or 1.13% of total loans, at June 30, 2025, compared to $16.7 million, or 1.10% of total loans, at March 31, 2025, and $16.8 million, or 1.11% of total loans, a year ago.

The ratio of tangible common shareholders' equity (shareholders' equity, less goodwill and core deposit intangible) to tangible assets (total assets, less goodwill and core deposit intangible) was 6.77% at June 30, 2025, up from 6.33% a year ago and unchanged compared to three months earlier.

In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements; general economic conditions and political events, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected; the emergence or continuation of widespread health emergencies or pandemics, including steps taken by governmental and other authorities to contain, mitigate and combat such emergencies or pandemics; the impact of volatility in the U.S. banking industry, including the associated impact of any regulatory changes or other mitigation efforts taken by governmental agencies in response thereto; the impact of any new regulatory, policy or enforcement developments resulting from the change in U.S. presidential administration, including the implantation of tariffs and other protectionist trade policies; the possibility that future credit losses may be higher than currently expected due to changes in economic assumptions, customer behavior, adverse developments with respect to U.S. economic conditions and other uncertainties, including the impact of supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures and labor shortages on economic conditions and our business; an inability to access capital markets or maintain deposits or borrowing costs; competition among banks, financial holding companies and other traditional and non-traditional financial service providers; loan demand or residential and commercial real estate values in Montana; the concentration of our business in Montana; our ability to continue to increase and manage our commercial real estate, commercial business and agricultural loans; the costs and effects of legal, compliance and regulatory actions, changes and developments, including the initiation and resolution of legal proceedings (including any securities, bank operations, consumer or employee litigation); inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments; possible changes in governmental monetary and fiscal policies, or any leadership changes of those determining such policies; adverse changes in the securities markets that lead to impairment in the value of our investment securities and goodwill; other economic, governmental, competitive, regulatory and technological factors that may affect our operations; our ability to implement new technologies and maintain secure and reliable technology systems including those that involve the Bank's third-party vendors and service providers; cyber incidents, or theft or loss of Company or customer data or money; the effects of any U.S. federal government shutdown, or closures or significant staff reductions in agencies regulating our business; our ability to navigate differing social, environmental, and sustainability concerns among governmental administrations, our stakeholders and other activists that may arise from our business activities; the effect of our recent or future acquisitions, including the failure to achieve expected revenue growth and/or expense savings, the failure to effectively integrate their operations, the outcome of any legal proceedings and the diversion of management time on issues related to the integration.

All information set forth in this press release is current as of the date of this release and the company undertakes no duty or obligation to update this information.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States, or GAAP, this release, including the Financial Ratios and Other Data contains non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures include: 1) core efficiency ratio, 2) tangible book value per share and 3) tangible common equity to tangible assets. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's operational performance, performance trends and financial condition, and to enhance investors' overall understanding of such financial performance. In particular, the use of tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to tangible assets is prevalent among banking regulators, investors and analysts.
The numerator for the core efficiency ratio is calculated by subtracting acquisition costs and intangible asset amortization from noninterest expense. Tangible assets and tangible common shareholders' equity are calculated by excluding intangible assets from assets and shareholders' equity, respectively. For these financial measures, our intangible assets consist of goodwill and core deposit intangible. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders' equity by the number of common shares outstanding. We believe that this measure is consistent with the capital treatment by our bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios and present this measure to facilitate the comparison of the quality and composition of our capital over time and in comparison, to our competitors.
Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. Further, the non-GAAP financial measure of tangible book value per share should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for book value per share or total shareholders' equity determined in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies. Eagle strongly encourages investors to review its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are presented below.

CNL and Partners Identified Three Canadian Locations to Advance the Design of Renewable Diesel Production Facilities

CHALK RIVER, Ontario, Aug. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL), Canada's premier nuclear science and technology laboratory, in partnership with Expander Energy Inc. (Expander), Fuel Cell Energy (FCE), St Marys Cement (SMC), and Nuclear Promise X (NPX), are pleased to announce that they have identified three Canadian locations as potential sites for the location of renewable diesel production facilities. These facilities would be capable of converting wood waste feedstock into 90 million litres of 'drop-in ready' renewable diesel fuel per year, transforming a waste product into a valuable, low-carbon fuel for the transportation sector. This milestone follows the successful completion of a feasibility study, funded through Natural Resources Canada's (NRCan) Clean Fuels Fund, which demonstrated the economic viability of synthetic diesel production using biomass through water electrolysis. The concept, known as 'e-Syn', encompasses the use of water and water electrolysis as part of an innovative, patented and patent pending process for making bio-synthetic fuels developed by CNL and Expander, called the Biomass Electrolysis to Liquids (BETL™) technology. The project leverages Expander's technology for biomass gasification and bio-synthetic fuel production, and electrolysis technology. The resulting fuel (either bio-synthetic diesel, known as Bio-SynDiesel®, or bio-synthetic aviation fuel, known as Bio-SynJet®) will be comprised entirely of carbon sourced from biogenic (atmospheric) sources, and is expected to have very low life cycle carbon intensity.

Riot Platforms Swings to Q2 Profit

Riot Platforms (NASDAQ:RIOT) reported fiscal second quarter 2025 earnings on July 31, 2025. The company delivered $153 million in revenue, a 5% quarter-over-quarter revenue decline, but net income reached $219.5 million, reversing a GAAP net loss in the prior quarter, primarily due to a mark-to-market gain from Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) appreciation. This summary extracts three distinct insights on Riot's pivot to data centers, operational improvements, and capital strategy, each with direct, unique investment implications. Riot Platforms accelerates shift to data center platform Riot began building its team and preparing for the development of high-performance computing (HPC) data centers, hiring Jonathan Gibbs as Chief Data Center Officer and amassing 858 acres at Corsicana to support up to 1 gigawatt of capacity. Their newly acquired hyperscale leadership and land position coincide with growing U.S. power demand and tightening lead times for data center development near Dallas and Austin. "With the hiring of Jonathan Gibbs, Riot's Chief Data Center Officer, and other highly capable professionals from the traditional data center industry, we find ourselves at the beginning of another exciting chapter in Riot's story. With this new capability, we are about to undergo the next step of our evolution as a company. With the ability to build and develop high-performance compute data centers, we will transform Riot by establishing a robust and scalable data center segment. Successful execution in this regard is Riot's top priority." -- Jason Les, CEO This shift positions Riot to capitalize on structurally higher valuation multiples in the data center sector, moving beyond Bitcoin mining cyclicality and securing a foothold in the rapidly expanding HPC infrastructure market. Operational gains drive Riot Platforms to industry-leading mining efficiency Riot increased self-mining hash rate by 5% quarter-over-quarter to 35.4 exahash even as the global network hash rate outpaced Riot's growth at 9% quarter-over-quarter. Riot produced 1,406 bitcoins, down slightly from 1,530 bitcoins in the previous quarter. Year-over-year, hash rate utilization rose from 61% to 87%, contributing to a 50% gross margin for the Bitcoin mining segment and placing Riot among the most operationally efficient miners in the sector. "Most notably, Riot's year-over-year hash rate utilization increased from 61% to 87%, demonstrating our strategic focus on improving operations across all of our sites, even as we significantly scaled our operations and now positioning us among the most efficient operators in the industry." -- Colin Yee, CFO This operational efficiency bolsters Riot's ability to generate consistent cash flows, funding strategic transitions. Bitcoin-driven liquidity enables Riot Platforms to fund data center expansion without dilutive equity raises Riot ended the quarter with $330 million in cash and over 19,000 bitcoins, representing $2.4 billion in liquidity, and implemented a $200 million Bitcoin-collateralized loan with Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN). Proceeds from ongoing Bitcoin production sales and prudent capital allocation reduced reliance on at-the-market (ATM) equity issuance, aligning funding with shareholder value accretion. "We continue to sell our monthly Bitcoin production in order to finance our ongoing operations while raising additional funds via a $200 million Bitcoin collateralized financing facility with Coinbase, allowing us to reduce issuance of stock through our ATM and fund our multiple growth opportunities, driving long-term shareholder value creation." -- Jason Les, CEO This approach minimizes dilution risk and preserves ownership as Riot reallocates capital into growth segments with potentially higher returns than legacy mining. Looking Ahead Management raised self-mining hash rate guidance for fiscal fourth quarter 2025 from 38.4 exahash to 40 exahash, with guidance for fiscal first quarter 2026 set at 45 exahash, targeting maintenance of roughly a 4% global network share through 2026. Riot expects to complete the basis of design for its Corsicana data center by the end of fiscal third quarter 2025 (period ending Sept. 30, 2025), backed by already-secured delivery of 600-megawatt substation infrastructure and land assemblage to support up to 1 gigawatt of data center capacity. No explicit long-term revenue targets or lease signings were provided for the data center segment in this call.
