EVERETT, Wash., Jan. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coastal Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:CCB) (the "Company", "Coastal", "we", "our", or "us"), the holding company for Coastal Community Bank (the "Bank"), through which it operates a community-focused bank segment ("community bank") with an industry leading banking as a service ("BaaS") segment ("CCBX"), today reported unaudited financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, including net income of $12.6 million, or $0.82 per diluted common share, compared to $13.6 million, or $0.88 per diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and $13.4 million, or $0.94 per diluted common share, for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and $47.0 million, or $3.06 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $45.2 million, or $3.26 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Management Discussion of the Fourth Quarter Results

"During the fourth quarter of 2025, loans receivable increased by $45.7 million, representing a 1.2% rise, alongside another period of solid deposit growth totaling $171.6 million, or 4.3%. Our CCBX segment continued to progress during the quarter as we executed on a dual strategy of expanding product offerings with existing partners while selectively onboarding new relationships aligned with our long-term objectives. Looking ahead, we expect continued growth as existing programs scale, new products are introduced, and we leverage our growing operating history in the BaaS space to support disciplined, sustainable expansion," stated CEO Eric Sprink.

"We are making steady progress in deploying artificial intelligence across the organization, with several use cases already implemented to improve efficiency, risk management, and the customer experience, and a roadmap focused on responsibly scaling these capabilities. In parallel, we are evaluating opportunities in digital assets and digital deposit solutions, where we believe our platform and regulatory framework position us well for future innovation and growth," stated CCBX President Brian Hamilton.

Key Points for Fourth Quarter and Our Go-Forward Strategy

CCBX Partner and Product Expansion. As of December 31, 2025 we had two partners in testing, five in implementation/onboarding, and one signed letter of intent (LOI). Our active pipeline positions us for continued growth, with new partnership opportunities and product launches expected for 2026. Total BaaS program fee income was $8.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $811,000, or 10.7%, from the three months ended September 30, 2025. We continue to have contracts with our partners that fully indemnify us against fraud and 98.8% against credit risk on CCBX loan partner balances as of December 31, 2025.
GreenFi Acquisition. During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, we acquired the GreenFi brand of climate-focused consumer financial services. We continue to evaluate strategic alternatives related to GreenFi, while maintaining the existing operating partnership with Mission Financial Partners to ensure continuity of service and a consistent customer experience. This approach reflects our broader strategy of regularly assessing opportunities to optimize our portfolio and align resources with long-term priorities.
Positive On- and Off-Balance Sheet Trends Continue. Average deposits were $4.03 billion, an increase of $61.1 million, or 1.5%, over the quarter ended September 30, 2025, driven primarily by growth in deposits associated with CCBX partner programs. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we sold $2.98 billion of loans, including $2.26 billion of additional credit card receivables originated through ongoing cardholder spend and revolving activity and sold under existing forward flow arrangements, compared to $1.62 billion of sold loans in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, including $1.37 billion sold under the same arrangements. We retain a portion of the fee income on sold credit card loans. As of December 31, 2025 there were 550,977 off-balance sheet credit cards with fee earning potential, an increase of 154,165 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2025 and an increase of 368,528 from December 31, 2024.

⁽¹⁾Core deposits are defined as all deposits excluding brokered and time deposits.

⁽²⁾Share and per share amounts are based on total actual or average common shares outstanding, as applicable.

⁽³⁾We calculate book value per share as total shareholders' equity at the end of the relevant period divided by the outstanding number of our common shares at the end of each period.

⁽⁴⁾Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate tangible book value per share as total shareholders' equity at the end of the relevant period, less goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by the outstanding number of our common shares at the end of each period. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is book value per share. See reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures at the end of this earnings release for the impact of intangible assets on book value.

Key Performance Ratios

Return on average assets ("ROA") was 1.09% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 compared to 1.19% and 1.30% for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. ROA for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 decreased 0.10% and 0.21% compared to September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. ROA was 1.05% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 1.15% for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of 0.10%. Noninterest expenses were higher for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2025 driven primarily by higher salaries and employee benefits. Salaries and employee benefits was $2.6 million higher for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 and includes $2.5 million in employee restructuring costs that are not expected to continue in future periods, along with $700,000 in other expenses related to a settlement of an employment-related matter. Noninterest expenses were higher than the quarter ended December 31, 2024 due primarily to an increase in salaries and employee benefits, data processing and software licenses and legal and professional expenses, all of which are related to the growth of the Company and investments in technology and risk management.

Yield on earning assets and yield on loans receivable decreased 0.25% and 0.32%, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2025, largely due to a change in loan mix and reduced Fed funds interest rate. Average loans receivable as of December 31, 2025 increased $103.5 million compared to September 30, 2025 as net CCBX loans continue to grow, despite selling $2.98 billion in CCBX loans during the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

The quarter over quarter volatility in the efficiency ratio and noninterest income to average asset performance metrics were driven by changes in the credit enhancement on CCBX loans, which is included within noninterest income, due to changes in CCBX provision expense. These items have a neutral impact to net income, but they impact the abovementioned metrics quarter over quarter due to changes in reported noninterest income.

The following table shows the Company's key performance ratios for the periods indicated.

Management Outlook; CEO Eric Sprink

"As the banking landscape continues to evolve, including the development of new bank charters and alternative models that could change how banking services are delivered, we remain confident in the strength of our platform and relationships. Our continued investment in technology is critical to supporting the delivery of scalable, compliant, and differentiated solutions for our partners and customers. We are focused on both establishing new and deepening existing customer relationships through product expansion, and we are encouraged by the early performance of products launched last quarter, which have gained traction and contributed to CCBX deposit growth. We believe these results underscore the value of our strategy and our ability to execute in a dynamic environment." said CEO Eric Sprink.

Coastal Financial Corporation Overview

The Company has one main subsidiary, the Bank, which consists of three segments: CCBX, the community bank and treasury & administration. The CCBX segment includes all of our BaaS activities, the community bank segment includes all community banking activities and the treasury & administration segment includes treasury management, overall administration and all other aspects of the Company.

CCBX Performance Update

Our CCBX segment continues to evolve, and we have 28 relationships, at varying stages, including two partners in testing, five in implementation/onboarding, one signed LOI and one winding down as of December 31, 2025. We continue to refine the criteria for CCBX partnerships, by focusing on larger, established partners with strong management, customer bases, and finances, while also considering promising smaller partners that fit our approach and terms. During the quarter ended December 31, 2025 we exited our partnership with Albert, and we will continue to exit relationships where it makes sense for us to do so.

While we explore relationships with new partners we continue to expand our product offerings with existing CCBX partners. As we become more proficient in the BaaS space we aim to cultivate new relationships that align with our long-term goals. A dual strategy of onboarding new partners and expanding products with existing partners drives growth, while our operating history with existing partners helps limit incremental regulatory risk. Increases in partner activity/transaction counts are positively impacting noninterest income, and we expect this trend to continue as current products grow and new products are introduced. We plan to continue selling loans as part of our strategy to balance partner and lending limits, and manage the loan portfolio and credit quality. We retain a portion of the fee income for our role in processing transactions on sold credit card loans, which continues to grow and is expected to provide increased and ongoing revenue with no on balance sheet risk or capital requirement.

As we grow our deposit base, we expect to sweep deposits off and on the balance sheet, subject to applicable agreements, which enhances our ability to manage liquidity and deposit programs. This deposit sweep capability allows us to better manage liquidity and deposit programs. At December 31, 2025 we swept off $843.6 million in deposits for FDIC insurance and liquidity purposes, and generated $540,000 in noninterest income during the quarter ended December 31, 2025. During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, seven partner programs were in various stages of expansion to include additional products, such as lines of credit, deposit programs, credit cards, and other lending products. Robinhood's deposit program has successfully launched during the fourth quarter and, as a result, has positively impacted CCBX deposit growth during the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The expansion of these and other partner initiatives is expected to drive higher partner revenue in upcoming periods.

The following table illustrates the activity and evolution in CCBX relationships for the periods presented.

CCBX loans increased $3.4 million, or 0.2%, to $1.81 billion despite selling $2.98 billion in loans during the three months ended December 31, 2025, $2.26 billion of which was new activity on previously sold credit card loans.

⁽¹⁾CCBX yield does not include the impact of BaaS loan expense. BaaS loan expense represents the amount paid or payable to partners for credit enhancements and originating & servicing CCBX loans. See reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures at the end of this earnings release for the impact of BaaS loan expense on CCBX loan yield.

⁽²⁾Loan yield is annualized for the three months ended for each period presented and includes loans held for sale and nonaccrual loans.

The increase in CCBX loans in the quarter ended December 31, 2025, includes an increase of $84.0 million, or 6.8%, in consumer and other loans, and an increase of $33.0 million, or 18.6%, in capital call lines as a result of normal balance fluctuations and business activities, partially offset by a decrease of $110.1 million, or 29.4%, in residential real estate loans. The decrease was driven by loan sales executed during the quarter in connection with our ongoing management of the CCBX loan portfolio. We sold $2.98 billion in CCBX loans during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 compared to sales of $1.62 billion in the quarter ended September 30, 2025. We continue to manage CCBX credit and concentration levels in an effort to optimize our loan portfolio earnings and generate off-balance sheet fee income. CCBX loan yield decreased 0.76% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2025 largely due to a change in overall mix of loans compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Changes to partner agreements and pricing implemented during the quarter are expected to result in marginally lower loan yields in the near term. These actions reflect a strategic shift toward enhanced partner economics and more sustainable, risk-adjusted returns over time.

The following charts show the growth and quarter over quarter changes in credit card accounts that generate fee income. This includes accounts with balances, which are included in our loan totals, and accounts that have been sold and have no corresponding balance in our loan totals, and that generate fee income.

CCBX deposits increased $182.9 million, or 7.7%, in the three months ended December 31, 2025 to $2.56 billion as a result of deposit growth and normal balance fluctuations. Robinhood's deposit product successfully launched during the fourth quarter and, as a result, has contributed to the increase in CCBX deposits. The increase excludes the $843.6 million in CCBX deposits that were transferred off-balance sheet for increased Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance coverage and sweep purposes, compared to $672.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Amounts in excess of FDIC insurance coverage are transferred, using a third-party facilitator/vendor sweep product, to participating financial institutions. These swept deposits generated fee income of $540,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

Community Bank Performance Update

In the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the community bank saw net loans increase $42.3 million, or 2.2%, to $1.94 billion, as a result of loan growth and normal balance fluctuations.

Community bank deposits decreased $11.2 million, or 0.7%, during the three months ended December 31, 2025 to $1.59 billion as a result of normal balance fluctuations. The community bank segment includes noninterest bearing deposits of $493.0 million, or 31.1%, of total community bank deposits, resulting in a cost of deposits of 1.56%, compared to 1.77% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 as a result of lower interest rates.

Net Interest Income and Margin Discussion

Net interest income was $79.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $1.5 million, or 1.9%, from $77.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and an increase of $6.9 million, or 9.5%, from $72.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Net interest income compared to September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was higher due to higher interest on loans primarily due to an increase in average loans receivable coupled with a reduced cost of funds as a result of lower interest rates.

Net interest margin was 7.03% for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to 7.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, due primarily to lower cost of funds resulting from the decreases in the Fed funds rate. Net interest margin was 7.23% for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in net interest margin for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in loan yields. Net interest margin, net of BaaS loan expense, (a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures are set forth in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this earnings release) was 4.26% for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to 4.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 4.16% for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Interest and fees on loans receivable decreased $161,000, or 0.2%, to $100.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $100.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as a result of lower interest rates related to the decrease in the Fed funds interest rate. Interest and fees on loans receivable increased $4.6 million, or 4.8%, compared to $95.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, due to loan growth.

The following tables illustrate how net interest margin and loan yield is affected by BaaS loan expense:

Average investment securities increased $1.4 million to $46.5 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025 as a result of held-to-maturity mortgage backed securities purchased for CRA purposes, and decreased $1.7 million compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024 as a result of maturities and principal paydowns.

Cost of funds was 2.77% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of 30 basis points from the quarter ended September 30, 2025 and a decrease of 47 basis points from the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Cost of deposits for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was 2.74%, compared to 3.04% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and 3.21% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The decreased cost of funds and deposits compared to September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were largely due to the reductions in the Fed funds rate in 2025.

⁽¹⁾CCBX yield on loans does not include the impact of BaaS loan expense. BaaS loan expense represents the amount paid or payable to partners for credit and fraud enhancements and originating & servicing CCBX loans. To determine Net BaaS loan income earned from CCBX loan relationships, the Company takes BaaS loan interest income and deducts BaaS loan expense to arrive at Net BaaS loan income, which can be compared to interest income on the Company's community bank loans. See reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures at the end of this earnings release for the impact of BaaS loan expense on CCBX loan yield.

Noninterest Income Discussion

Noninterest income was $58.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $8.1 million from $66.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and a decrease of $15.4 million from $74.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in noninterest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to a $8.1 million decrease in BaaS credit enhancements related to the decrease in provision for credit losses based upon an analysis of the CCBX loan portfolio and a $1.0 million decrease in BaaS fraud enhancements, partially offset by an increase of $811,000 in BaaS program income (see "Appendix B" for more information on the accounting for BaaS allowance for credit losses and credit and fraud enhancements).

The $15.4 million decrease in noninterest income over the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to a $18.7 million decrease in BaaS credit and fraud enhancements due to improvement in the performance of the CCBX loan portfolio, partially offset by an increase of $2.8 million in BaaS program income.

Noninterest Expense Discussion

Total noninterest expense increased $2.6 million to $72.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $70.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and increased $5.4 million from $67.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The $2.6 million increase in noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2025, was primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, an $864,000 increase in data processing and software licenses, a $750,000 increase in other expenses, and a $490,000 increase in legal and professional fees, partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in BaaS loan expense, and a $1.0 million decrease in BaaS fraud expense. BaaS loan expense represents the amount paid or payable to partners for credit enhancements and originating & servicing CCBX loans. BaaS fraud expense represents non-credit fraud losses on partner's customer loan and deposit accounts. A portion of this expense is realized during the quarter in which the loss occurs, and a portion is estimated based on historical or other information from our partners. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 there was a large credit to salaries and employee benefits due to the forfeiture of equity awards which resulted in lower expenses when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025. The quarter-over-quarter variance was also driven by $2.5 million of employee restructuring costs related to organizational changes, including severance and other termination-related expenses. These costs included approximately $2.1 million of non-recurring stock-based compensation associated with accelerated vesting and modification-date fair value adjustments of equity awards in connection with employee departures. The $750,000 increase in other expenses was primarily due to the recognition of a payable related to the settlement of an employment-related matter during the quarter. Excluding these items, operating expense trends were more aligned with management expectations. Data processing and software license costs increased due to continued investments in growth, technology, and risk management. The increase in legal and professional fees is subject to variability that is impacted by new CCBX partners and product launches.

The $5.4 million increase in noninterest expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2024 was largely due to a $4.8 million increase in salary and employee benefits and a $2.9 million increase in data processing and software licenses due to enhancements and investments in technology, and a $536,000 increase in BaaS loan expense, partially offset by a $4.0 million decrease in BaaS fraud expense.

Certain noninterest expenses are reimbursed by our CCBX partners. In accordance with GAAP we recognize all expenses in noninterest expense and the reimbursement of expenses from our CCBX partner in noninterest income. The following table reflects the portion of noninterest expenses that are reimbursed by partners to assist in understanding how the increases in noninterest expense are related to expenses incurred and reimbursed by CCBX partners:

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $4.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and $3.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. Despite lower net income, the income tax provision was higher for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 as a result of the acceleration and revaluation of certain equity awards.

The Company is subject to various state taxes that are assessed as CCBX activities and employees expand into other states, which has increased the overall tax rate used in calculating the provision for income taxes in the current and future periods. The Company uses a federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% as a basis for calculating provision for federal income taxes and 5.14% for calculating the provision for state income taxes. The state rate increased in the quarter ended June 30, 2025 primarily as a result of a change in California's tax laws.

Financial Condition Overview

Total assets increased $188.4 million, or 4.1%, to $4.74 billion at December 31, 2025 compared to $4.55 billion at September 30, 2025. The increase is primarily comprised of a $95.4 million increase in interest earning deposits with other banks, a $45.7 million increase in loans receivable, and a $28.3 million increase in loans held for sale.

As of December 31, 2025, in addition to the $737.0 million in cash on hand the Company had the capacity to borrow up to a total of $642.2 million from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window and Federal Home Loan Bank, plus an additional $50.0 million from a correspondent bank. There were no borrowings outstanding on these lines as of December 31, 2025.

The Company, on a stand alone basis, had a cash balance of $42.3 million as of December 31, 2025, a portion of which is retained for general operating purposes, including debt repayment, for funding $1.1 million in commitments to bank technology investment funds, with the remaining cash available to be contributed to the Bank as capital.

Uninsured deposits were $641.3 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $617.9 million as of September 30, 2025.

Total shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2025 increased $15.7 million since September 30, 2025. The increase in shareholders' equity was primarily comprised of $12.6 million in net earnings combined with an increase of $3.0 million in common stock outstanding as a result of equity awards vested and exercised during the three months ended December 31, 2025.

The Company and the Bank remained well capitalized at December 31, 2025, as summarized in the following table.

Asset Quality

The allowance for credit losses was $169.5 million and 4.52% of loans receivable at December 31, 2025 compared to $173.8 million and 4.69% at September 30, 2025 and $177.0 million and 5.08% at December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit loss allocated to the CCBX portfolio was $151.3 million and 8.37% of CCBX loans receivable at December 31, 2025, with $18.2 million of allowance for credit loss allocated to the community bank or 0.94% of total community bank loans receivable.

The following table details the allocation of the allowance for credit loss as of the period indicated:

Net charge-offs totaled $50.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to $49.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 and $56.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Net charge-offs as a percent of average loans decreased to 5.31% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 compared to 5.37% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and 6.56% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. CCBX partner agreements provide for a credit enhancement that covers the net charge-offs on CCBX loans and negative deposit accounts by indemnifying or reimbursing incurred losses, except in accordance with the program agreement for one partner where the Company was responsible for credit losses on approximately 5% of a $321.3 million loan portfolio. At December 31, 2025, our portion of this portfolio represented $22.1 million in loans. Net charge-offs for this $22.1 million in loans were $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

⁽¹⁾Annualized calculations shown for periods presented.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, a $45.9 million provision for credit losses was recorded for CCBX partner loans, compared to $58.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in the provision was largely due to a change in the mix of loans, bringing the CCBX allowance for credit losses to $151.3 million at December 31, 2025 compared to $155.5 million at September 30, 2025. As we continue to originate higher quality loans, these become a greater proportion of the CCBX portfolio, resulting in an improvement in expected losses and a reduced allowance for credit losses to loans receivable ratio. In general, CCBX loans have a higher level of expected losses than our community bank loans, which is reflected in the factors for the allowance for credit losses. Agreements with our CCBX partners provide for a credit enhancement which indemnifies the Bank and through partner reimbursements for incurred losses.

In accordance with accounting guidance, we estimate and record a provision for expected losses for these CCBX loans and reclassified negative deposit accounts. When the provision for CCBX credit losses and provision for unfunded commitments is recorded, a credit enhancement asset is also recorded on the balance sheet through noninterest income (BaaS credit enhancements). Expected losses are recorded in the allowance for credit losses. The credit enhancement asset is relieved when credit enhancement recoveries are received from the CCBX partner. If our partner is unable to fulfill their contracted obligations then the Bank could be exposed to additional credit losses. Management regularly evaluates and manages this counterparty risk with our CCBX partners.

The factors used in management's analysis for community bank credit losses indicated that a provision recapture of $101,000 was needed for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 compared to a provision recapture of $583,000 and a provision recapture of $1.1 for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The provision recapture in the current period was due to an improvement in the overall economic outlook, partially offset by a marginal increase in the overall portfolio historical loss rates.

The following table details the provision expense/(recapture) for the community bank and CCBX for the period indicated:

	Three Months Ended
(dollars in thousands; unaudited)	December 31, 2025			September 30, 2025			December 31, 2024
Community bank	$	(101	)	$	(583	)	$	(1,071	)
CCBX		45,893			58,847			63,741
Total provision expense	$	45,792		$	58,264		$	62,670

A provision for unfunded commitments of $2.2 million was recorded for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 primarily driven by an increase in the available commitment for CCBX loans partially offset by a decline in remaining weighted average life of the unfunded construction & land portfolio. A $14,000 provision for accrued interest receivable was recorded for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 on CCBX loans.

At December 31, 2025, our nonperforming assets were $64.1 million, or 1.35%, of total assets, compared to $59.8 million, or 1.31%, of total assets, at September 30, 2025, and $62.7 million, or 1.52%, of total assets, at December 31, 2024. These ratios are impacted by nonperforming CCBX loans that are covered by CCBX partner credit enhancements. As of December 31, 2025, $55.7 million of the $57.6 million in nonperforming CCBX loans were covered by CCBX partner credit enhancements described above. Additionally, certain CCBX partners employ collection practices that place specific loans on nonaccrual status to enhance collectability. As of December 31, 2025, $20.3 million of these loans are less than 90 days past due.

Nonperforming assets increased $4.3 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Community bank nonperforming loans increased $2.3 million from September 30, 2025 to $6.5 million as of December 31, 2025 with the addition of $4.3 million in nonaccrual loans partially offset by a $1.7 million payoff and other principal paydowns. CCBX nonperforming loans increased $2.0 million to $57.6 million from September 30, 2025. The increase in CCBX nonperforming loans is due to an increase of $1.8 million in nonaccrual loans from September 30, 2025 to $24.4 million, combined with a $220,000 increase in CCBX loans that are past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. As a result of the type of loans (primarily consumer loans) originated through our CCBX partners we would typically anticipate that balances 90 days past due or more and still accruing will generally increase as those loan portfolios grow, however, the ratio of CCBX loans 90+ days past due and still accruing to total CCBX loans receivable increased 0.01% compared to September 30, 2025, which we believe is a positive performance indicator for the CCBX portfolio. Installment/closed-end and revolving/open-end consumer loans originated through CCBX lending partners will continue to accrue interest until 120 and 180 days past due, respectively and are reported as substandard, 90 days or more days past due and still accruing. There were no repossessed assets or other real estate owned at December 31, 2025. Our nonperforming loans to loans receivable ratio was 1.71% at December 31, 2025, compared to 1.61% at September 30, 2025, and 1.80% at December 31, 2024.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, there were $22,000 in community bank net charge-offs and $50.1 million in CCBX net charge-offs. These CCBX loans have a higher level of expected losses than our community bank loans, which is reflected in the factors for the allowance for credit losses.

The following table details the Company's nonperforming assets for the periods indicated.
