Pre-provision net revenue to average assets (PPNR) (non-GAAP) was solid at 1.73% for both the second and first quarters of 2025.

Net interest income growth of $3.3 million, or 3.90%, and net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis (NIM) (FTE) (non-GAAP) expansion of 7 basis points to 3.88% compared to 3.81% in the first quarter of 2025.

Total portfolio loans increased $98.1 million, or 5.02% annualized, compared to March 31, 2025.

"We are pleased to report another strong quarter with excellent returns, driven by continued progress on our performance drivers," said Chris McComish, chief executive officer. "Net interest income growth was driven by net interest margin expansion and solid loan growth while asset quality metrics remain at very favorable levels. As we move into the second half of the year, we remain confident in our strategy, the strength and commitment of our team and our ability to capitalize on future growth opportunities."

Net Interest IncomeNet interest income increased $3.3 million, or 3.90%, to $86.6 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $83.3 million in the first quarter of 2025. Average interest-earning assets increased $112.5 million to $9.0 billion in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $8.9 billion in the first quarter of 2025. NIM (FTE) (non-GAAP) expansion of 7 basis points to 3.88% compared to 3.81% in the prior quarter. The yield on average total interest-earning assets increased 6 basis points to 5.76% compared to 5.70% in the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to favorable asset repricing. Total interest-bearing liability costs decreased 3 basis points to 2.84% compared to 2.87% in the first quarter of 2025 mainly due to the repricing of certificates of deposits.

Asset QualityAsset quality remained strong in the second quarter of 2025. The allowance for credit losses, or ACL, was $98.6 million, or 1.24% of total portfolio loans at June 30, 2025 compared to $99.0 million, or 1.26%, at March 31, 2025. The provision for credit losses was $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to a negative $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2025. The negative provision in the first quarter of 2025 related to net recoveries and a $4.2 million decrease in specific reserves. Net charge-offs were $1.2 million, or 0.06% of average loans, compared to net recoveries in the first quarter of 2025. Nonperforming assets decreased $1.1 million to $21.3 million, or 0.27% of total loans plus OREO, compared to $22.4 million, or 0.29%, at March 31, 2025.

Noninterest Income and ExpenseNoninterest income increased $3.1 million to $13.5 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $10.4 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase primarily related to a $2.3 million realized loss recognized in the first quarter of 2025 from the repositioning of securities into longer duration, higher-yielding securities. Additionally, debit and credit card fees and service charges on deposit accounts were seasonally higher compared to the first quarter of 2025. Total noninterest expense increased $3.0 million to $58.1 million compared to $55.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. Salaries and employee benefits increased $3.1 million primarily related to annual merit increases, higher incentives and medical costs compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Forward-Looking StatementsThis information contains or incorporates statements that we believe are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally relate to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, outlook for earnings, revenues, expenses, capital and liquidity levels and ratios, asset levels, asset quality, financial position and other matters regarding or affecting S&T and its future business and operations. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as "will likely result," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "intend," "believe," "assume," "strategy," "trend," "plan," "outlook," "outcome," "continue," "remain," "potential," "opportunity," "comfortable," "current," "position," "maintain," "sustain," "seek," "achieve" and variations of such words and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could" or "may." Although we believe the assumptions upon which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and the forward-looking statements based on these assumptions could be incorrect. The matters discussed in these forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and trends to differ materially from those made, projected or implied in or by the forward-looking statements depending on a variety of uncertainties or other factors including, but not limited to: credit losses and the credit risk of our commercial and consumer loan products; changes in the level of charge-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, or ACL; cybersecurity concerns; rapid technological developments and changes; operational risks or risk management failures by us or critical third parties, including fraud risk; our ability to manage our reputational risks; sensitivity to the interest rate environment, a rapid increase in interest rates or a change in the shape of the yield curve; a change in spreads on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities; regulatory supervision and oversight, including changes in regulatory capital requirements and our ability to address those requirements; unanticipated changes in our liquidity position; unanticipated changes in regulatory and governmental policies impacting interest rates and financial markets; changes in accounting policies, practices or guidance; legislation affecting the financial services industry as a whole, and S&T, in particular; developments affecting the industry and the soundness of financial institutions and further disruption to the economy and U.S. banking system; the outcome of pending and future litigation and governmental proceedings; increasing price and product/service competition; the ability to continue to introduce competitive new products and services on a timely, cost-effective basis; managing our internal growth and acquisitions; the possibility that the anticipated benefits from acquisitions cannot be fully realized in a timely manner or at all, or that integrating the acquired operations will be more difficult, disruptive or costly than anticipated; containing costs and expenses; reliance on significant customer relationships; an interruption or cessation of an important service by a third-party provider; our ability to attract and retain talented executives and other employees; general economic or business conditions, including the strength of regional economic conditions in our market area; ESG practices and disclosures, including climate change, hiring practices, the diversity of the work force and racial and social justice issues; deterioration of the housing market and reduced demand for mortgages; deterioration in the overall macroeconomic conditions or the state of the banking industry that could warrant further analysis of the carrying value of goodwill and could result in an adjustment to its carrying value resulting in a non-cash charge to net income; the stability of our core deposit base and access to contingency funding; re-emergence of turbulence in significant portions of the global financial and real estate markets that could impact our performance, both directly, by affecting our revenues and the value of our assets and liabilities, and indirectly, by affecting the economy generally and access to capital in the amounts, at the times and on the terms required to support our future businesses and geopolitical tensions and conflicts between nations.

Many of these factors, as well as other factors, are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, including Part I, Item 1A-"Risk Factors" and any of our subsequent filings with the SEC. Forward-looking statements are based on beliefs and assumptions using information available at the time the statements are made. We caution you not to unduly rely on forward-looking statements because the assumptions, beliefs, expectations and projections about future events may, and often do, differ materially from actual results. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as to the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect developments occurring after the statement is made.

Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresIn addition to traditional measures presented in accordance with GAAP, our management uses, and this information contains or references, certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as tangible book value, return on average tangible shareholder's equity, PPNR to average assets, efficiency ratio, tangible common equity to tangible assets and net interest margin on an FTE basis. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding our underlying operational performance and our business and performance trends as they facilitate comparisons with the performance of other companies in the financial services industry. Although we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors' understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable with non-GAAP measures which may be presented by other companies. See Definitions and Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures for more information related to these financial measures.
