Gross profit margin in the fourth quarter of 2025 decreased to 20.4%, from 23.6% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Income before tax from the mortgage banking segment totaled $57.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of 24% when compared to $45.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in secondary marketing gains on sales of loans.

Mortgage closed loan production for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased 4% to $6.04 billion, compared to $6.26 billion in 2024. Income before tax from the mortgage banking segment for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased 2% to $152.0 million from $154.9 million in 2024.

The increase in the effective tax rate in each period is primarily attributable to a lower income tax benefit recognized for excess tax benefits from stock option exercises, which totaled $8.7 million and $28.3 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to $21.3 million and $95.1 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, respectively.
