    In announcing these results, Chief Executive Officer Tim Laney shared, “We delivered quarterly earnings of $0.88 of earnings per diluted share and a return on average tangible common equity of 14.18%. Year-over-year fully taxable equivalent pre-provision net revenues grew by 19.9% highlighted by a strong net interest margin of 3.95%. We remain diligent in monitoring our loan book and maintaining a disciplined approach to extending credit, which resulted in just 5 basis points of annualized net charge-offs during the quarter.”

    Mr. Laney added, “Our solid results continue to generate meaningful capital growth with a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 14.2%. Our excess capital position provides us with optionality to act on a variety of growth opportunities. We are pleased with the recent launch of 2UniFi, an innovative financial ecosystem that we believe can change the way business owners and operators access the U.S. banking system. 2UniFi is built to empower business entrepreneurs with banking and business tools that save time, reduce stress, and help them grow their business.”

    Second Quarter 2025 Results
    (All comparisons refer to the first quarter of 2025, except as noted)

    Net income increased $9.8 million, or 40.4%, to $34.0 million or $0.88 per diluted share, compared to $24.2 million or $0.63 per diluted share. Fully taxable equivalent pre-provision net revenue increased $1.5 million, or 14.3% annualized, to $43.5 million. The return on average tangible assets increased 40 basis points to 1.49%, and the return on average tangible common equity increased 3.54% to 14.18%. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, fully taxable equivalent pre-provision net revenue increased $7.2 million or 19.9%.

    Net Interest Income
    Fully taxable equivalent net interest income increased $0.7 million to $89.3 million due to one additional day during the second quarter. The fully taxable equivalent net interest margin widened two basis points to 3.95%, driven by a three basis point increase in earning asset yields, partially offset by an increase in the cost of funds.

    Loans
    Loans totaled $7.5 billion at June 30, 2025, compared to $7.6 billion. We generated quarterly loan fundings of $322.7 million, led by commercial loan fundings of $219.6 million. The second quarter’s weighted average rate on new loans at the time of origination was 7.4%, compared to a weighted average yield of 6.5% on our loan portfolio.

    Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses
    The Company recorded no provision expense for credit losses, compared to $10.2 million in the previous quarter. Annualized net charge-offs totaled 0.05% of average total loans, compared to 0.80%. Non-performing loans totaled 0.45% of total loans at June 30, 2025, consistent with the previous quarter, and non-performing assets decreased one basis point to 0.45% of total loans and OREO at June 30, 2025. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans increased one basis point to 1.19% at June 30, 2025.

    Deposits
    Average total deposits decreased $58.8 million to $8.2 billion during the second quarter 2025, and average transaction deposits (defined as total deposits less time deposits) decreased $85.3 million to $7.1 billion. The loan to deposit ratio totaled 90.5% at June 30, 2025, compared to 90.8%. The mix of transaction deposits to total deposits was 87.0% at June 30, 2025, compared to 87.4%.

    Non-Interest Income
    Non-interest income increased $1.7 million, or 11.0%, to $17.1 million during the second quarter. Income from partnership investments increased $0.6 million, bank card fees increased $0.5 million, SBA loan gains on sale increased $0.2 million, and the sales of two previously consolidated banking center properties drove a $1.3 million gain. Mortgage banking income decreased $0.8 million.

    Non-Interest Expense
    Non-interest expense totaled $62.9 million, compared to $62.0 million in the first quarter, which benefited from the $1.9 million payroll tax credits realized in the first quarter. Excluding the impact from the first quarter’s payroll tax credits, non-interest expense decreased $1.0 million due to our disciplined expense management. The second quarter’s non-interest expense includes $0.3 million of non-recurring restructuring charges as a result of expense reduction actions executed during the quarter. The fully taxable equivalent efficiency ratio improved 42 basis points to 57.3%, excluding other intangible assets amortization.

    Income tax expense totaled $7.5 million, compared to $5.6 million in the previous quarter, as a result of higher pre-tax income in the second quarter. The effective tax rate was 18.1%, compared to 18.8% in the first quarter.

    Capital
    Capital ratios continue to be well in excess of federal bank regulatory agency “well capitalized” thresholds. The tier 1 leverage ratio totaled 11.18%, and the common equity tier 1 capital ratio totaled 14.17% at June 30, 2025. Shareholders’ equity increased $23.2 million to $1.4 billion at June 30, 2025, primarily driven by $22.5 million of growth in retained earnings from net income after covering the quarter’s dividend, and a $4.1 million improvement in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to changes in the interest rate environment.

    Common book value per share increased $0.65 to $35.55 at June 30, 2025. Tangible common book value per share increased $0.70 to $26.64 driven by the quarter’s earnings after covering the quarterly dividend, and a $0.11 improvement in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

    Year-Over-Year Review
    (All comparisons refer to the first six months of 2024, except as noted)

    Net income increased $0.7 million to $58.3 million or $1.51 per diluted share, compared to $57.5 million or $1.50 per diluted share. Fully taxable equivalent pre-provision net revenue increased $8.6 million to $85.4 million. The return on average tangible assets increased one basis point to 1.29%, and the return on average tangible common equity was 12.44%, compared to 13.77%.

    Fully taxable equivalent net interest income increased $6.9 million to $177.9 million. The fully taxable equivalent net interest margin widened 17 basis points to 3.94%, driven by a 21 basis point decrease in the cost of funds, partially offset by a three basis point decrease in earning asset yields.

    Loans outstanding totaled $7.5 billion as of June 30, 2025, compared to $7.7 billion. New loan fundings over the trailing twelve months totaled $1.4 billion, led by commercial fundings of $928.3 million.

    The Company recorded $10.2 million of provision expense for credit losses, compared to $2.8 million in the same period prior year. Annualized net charge-offs totaled 0.43% of average total loans, compared to 0.11% net charge-offs in the same period prior year. Non-performing loans totaled 0.45% of total loans at June 30, 2025, compared to 0.34% in the prior year. Non-performing assets totaled 0.45% of total loans and OREO at June 30, 2025, compared to 0.36% in the prior year.

    Average deposits totaled $8.2 billion, compared to $8.3 billion in the same period prior year, and average transaction deposits totaled $7.2 billion, compared to $7.3 billion in the same period prior year. The mix of transaction deposits to total deposits was 87.0% at June 30, 2025, compared to 87.8%.

    Non-interest income increased $0.7 million to $32.4 million primarily due to a $0.7 million increase in the gains on sales of previously consolidated banking center properties and a $0.4 million increase in trust income.

    Non-interest expense decreased $1.0 million to $124.9 million as a result of disciplined expense management and payroll tax credits realized during the first quarter 2025.

    Income tax expense totaled $13.1 million, consistent with the same period prior year. The effective tax rate was 18.4%, compared to 18.6% in the same period prior year.

    About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    Certain of the financial measures and ratios we present, including “tangible assets,” “return on average tangible assets,” “tangible common equity,” “return on average tangible common equity,” “tangible common book value per share,” “tangible common equity to tangible assets,” “non-interest expense excluding other intangible assets amortization,” “efficiency ratio excluding other intangible assets amortization,” “net income excluding the impact of other intangible assets amortization expense, after tax,” “pre-provision net revenue” and “fully taxable equivalent” metrics, are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We refer to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures.” We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics on a fully taxable equivalent basis. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.

    These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our peers or other companies. We compensate for these differences by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables.

Net income totaled $19.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net income of $18.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and net income of $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

For the second quarter of 2025, excluding the impact of merger-related expenses, net of taxes, net income and diluted earnings per share were $20.2 million(1) and $1.04(1), respectively.

    “At the one-year mark after the merger with Codorus Valley Bancorp, we are very pleased to have achieved metrics near top of peers, with significant upside opportunities in front of us,” said Thomas R. Quinn, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer. “In the second quarter, we experienced positive traction on loan production. While commercial loan growth was lower than expected, our pipeline remains strong as we head into the third quarter. We remain prudent with our lending decisions and will not compromise on credit quality. Net interest margin improved in the quarter with good momentum going into the remainder of the year. While expenses remain slightly elevated, we do not anticipate any further meaningful merger-related expenses and continue to implement process improvements that will enhance efficiency and facilitate future growth. We believe that our strong credit metrics and capital generation have positioned us well for the future.”

    Loans held for investment increased by $55.4 million and totaled $3.9 billion at both June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025. Commercial loans increased by $16.1 million, or 2% annualized, and residential mortgages increased by $37.9 million from March 31, 2025 to June 30, 2025. The increase in loans included a purchase of property assessed clean energy (“PACE”) loans totaling $25.4 million.

    Investment Securities

    Investment securities, all of which are classified as available-for-sale, increased by $29.9 million to $885.4 million at June 30, 2025 from $855.5 million at March 31, 2025. During the second quarter of 2025, the Bank purchased $50.1 million of investment securities, which was partially offset by paydowns totaling $20.4 million. The overall duration of the Company’s investment securities portfolio was 4.5 years at June 30, 2025 compared to 4.3 years at March 31, 2025. See Appendix B for a summary of the Bank’s investment securities at June 30, 2025, highlighting their concentrations, credit ratings and credit enhancement levels.

    Deposits

    During the second quarter of 2025, deposits decreased by $117.1 million and totaled $4.5 billion at June 30, 2025 compared to $4.6 billion March 31, 2025. Time deposits, money market deposits, non-interest bearing demand deposits, saving deposits and interest-bearing demand deposits decreased by $58.0 million, $35.8 million, $13.9 million, $6.2 million and $3.2 million, respectively, from March 31, 2025 to June 30, 2025. The declines in time deposits and money market deposits are due to continued run-off in higher yielding promotional balances. The decreases in the other categories were consistent with normal cyclical activity. As a result of the decrease in total deposits, the Bank’s loan-to-deposit ratio increased to 87% at June 30, 2025 from 84% at March 31, 2025.

    Borrowings

    The Bank actively manages its liquidity position through its various sources of funding to meet the needs of its clients. FHLB advances and other borrowings were $136.3 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $100.3 million at March 31, 2025. The increase was due to higher utilization of overnight borrowings during the second quarter of 2025 as deposit balances declined and lending and investing activities increased. The Bank seeks to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure client needs can be addressed in a timely basis. The Bank had available alternative funding sources, such as FHLB advances and other wholesale options, of approximately $1.7 billion at June 30, 2025.

    Income Statement

    Net Interest Income and Margin

    Net interest income was $49.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $48.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, increased to 4.07% in the second quarter of 2025 from 4.00% in the first quarter of 2025. This increase is primarily the result of the cost of funds declining by 12 basis points from the first quarter of 2025 to the second quarter of 2025. This was partially offset by a decrease of seven basis points in the yield on loans from the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the three months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was due to a reduction in accelerated accretion on acquired loans over that period. The second quarter 2025 net interest margin reflects the full impact of deposit rate reductions implemented in the prior quarter as well as the runoff of higher rate time deposits and money market balances.

    The net interest margin was positively impacted by the net accretion impact of purchase accounting marks on loans, securities, deposits and borrowings of $5.2 million during the second quarter of 2025 compared to $6.9 million for the first quarter of 2025. This change was due primarily to lower accelerated accretion in the three months ended June 30, 2025.

    Interest income on loans, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased by $0.4 million to $63.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $63.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Average loans decreased by $14.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The accretion of purchase accounting marks on loans totaled $4.9 million during the second quarter of 2025 compared to $6.6 million during the first quarter of 2025.

    Interest income on investment securities, on a tax equivalent basis, was $10.6 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $10.1 million in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $0.5 million. Average investment securities increased by $39.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to the aforementioned purchases.

    Interest expense, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased by $1.5 million to $25.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $26.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased by $70.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The cost of interest-bearing deposits declined by 14 basis points from the first quarter of 2025 to the second quarter of 2025. In addition, interest expense includes $0.4 million and $0.6 million of amortization of purchase accounting marks on interest bearing liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

    Provision for Credit Losses on Loans

    The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans increased to $47.9 million at June 30, 2025 from $47.8 million at March 31, 2025. The ACL to total loans was 1.22% at June 30, 2025 compared to 1.23% at March 31, 2025. The Company recorded provision expense of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a recovery in the provision for credit losses on loans of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 . Net charge-offs were $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

    Classified loans decreased by $10.4 million to $65.8 million at June 30, 2025 from $76.2 million at March 31, 2025 due to net upgrades and loan repayments. Non-accrual loans totaled $22.4 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $22.7 million at March 31, 2025. Nonaccrual loans to total loans decreased to 0.57% at June 30, 2025 compared to 0.59% at March 31, 2025. Management believes the ACL to be adequate based on current asset quality metrics and economic forecasts.

    Noninterest Income

    Noninterest income increased by $1.3 million to $12.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

    Swap fee income increased by $0.3 million to $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Swap fee income will fluctuate based on market conditions and client demand.

    Income from service charges was $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 based on increased cash management services activity.

    Income from mortgage banking activities increased by $0.2 million from $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $0.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The first quarter of 2025 included a decrease of $0.2 million in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights.

    Wealth management income decreased by $0.2 million to $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

    Other income increased by $0.7 million to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. During the second quarter of 2025, the Bank recorded $0.3 million in solar tax credits and a gain on the sale of other real estate owned of $0.1 million.

    Noninterest Expenses

    Noninterest expenses decreased by $0.6 million to $37.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $38.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

    For the three months ended June 30, 2025, merger-related expenses totaled $1.0 million, a decrease of $0.6 million, compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The merger-related costs incurred in the second quarter of 2025 primarily included software conversion costs. The Company does not expect to incur meaningful merger-related expenses going forward.

    Salaries and benefits expense increased by $1.0 million to $21.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $20.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase during the second quarter of 2025 includes $0.6 million of severance costs, the impact of merit salary increases in May and the impact of one extra day in the quarter.

    Occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses decreased by $0.5 million to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to the seasonal expenses incurred during the first quarter of 2025.

    Professional services expense increased by $0.2 million from the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the three months ended June 30, 2025. During the quarter, the Company continued to utilize an elevated level of third-party assistance to enhance daily functions and operational processes throughout the organization. While the Company will remain reliant on these services into the second half of 2025, the Company expects expenses related to these services to decline beginning in the third quarter of 2025.

    Advertising and bank promotions expense increased by $0.6 million to $1.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to $0.7 million in contributions to tax credit programs during the second quarter of 2025. Taxes other than income decreased by $0.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease reflects the tax impact of the contributions referenced above.

    Income Taxes

    The Company’s effective tax rate was 21.3% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 20.7% for the first quarter of 2025. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 is greater than the 21% federal statutory rate primarily due to the disallowed portion of interest expense against earnings in association with the Bank’s tax-exempt investments under the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 partially offset by the benefit of tax-exempt income, including interest earned on tax-exempt loans and securities and income from life insurance policies and tax credits. The Company regularly analyzes its projected taxable income and makes adjustments to the provision for income taxes accordingly.

    Capital

    Shareholders’ equity totaled $548.4 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $532.9 million at March 31, 2025. The increase is due to net income of $19.4 million and share-based compensation activity of $1.6 million, partially offset by dividend payments of $5.1 million and other comprehensive losses of $0.5 million.

    Tangible book value per common share(1) increased to $22.77 per share at June 30, 2025 from $21.99 per share at March 31, 2025. The Company’s tangible common equity ratio was 8.3% at June 30, 2025 compared to 7.9% at March 31, 2025. Average tangible common equity per common share(1) was $18.43 at June 30, 2025 compared to $17.91 at March 31, 2025.

    The Company’s capital ratios increased during the three months ended June 30, 2025 due primarily to earnings. The Company’s tier 1 common equity, tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 10.9%, 11.1% and 13.3%, respectively, at June 30, 2025 compared to 10.6%, 10.8% and 13.1%, respectively, at March 31, 2025. The Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio increased to 9.0% at June 30, 2025 compared to 8.6% at March 31, 2025.

    At June 30, 2025, all four capital ratios applicable to the Company were above regulatory minimum levels to be deemed “well capitalized” under current bank regulatory guidelines. The Company continues to believe that capital is adequate to support the risks inherent in the balance sheet, as well as growth requirements.

    The Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program on June 20, 2025, through which the Company could repurchase up to 500,000 shares of its common stock. The Company repurchased 2,134 common shares during the second quarter of 2025.

    (1) Capital ratios are estimated for the current period, subject to regulatory filings. The Company elected the three-year phase in option for the day-one impact of ASU 2016-13 for current expected credit losses (“CECL”) to regulatory capital. Beginning in 2023, the Company adjusted retained earnings, allowance for credit losses includable in tier 2 capital and the deferred tax assets from temporary differences in risk weighted assets by the permitted percentage of the day-one impact from adopting the new CECL standard.

    Appendix A- Supplemental Reporting of Non-GAAP Measures and GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations

    Management believes providing certain other “non-GAAP” financial information will assist investors in their understanding of the effect on recent financial results from non-recurring charges.

    As a result of acquisitions, the Company has intangible assets consisting of goodwill, core deposit and other intangible assets, which totaled $112.5 million and $115.9 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2025, March, 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Company incurred $1.0 million, $1.6 million, $3.9 million, $17.0 million and $1.1 million in merger-related expenses, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, the Company incurred other non-recurring charges totaling $0.5 million and $20.2 million, respectively.

    Tangible book value per common share, tangible common equity and the impact of the non-recurring expenses on net income and associated ratios, as used by the Company in this earnings release, are determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). While we believe this information is a useful supplement to GAAP based measures presented in this earnings release, readers are cautioned that this non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results and financial condition as reported under GAAP, nor are such measures necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. This supplemental presentation should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by similar adjustments to be determined in accordance with GAAP.

    The following tables present the computation of each non-GAAP based measure:

    Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

    This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements reflect the current views of the Company’s management with respect to, among other things, future events and the Company’s financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “goal,” “target,” “would” and “outlook,” or the negative variations of those words or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates, predictions or projections about events or the Company’s industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond the Company’s control. Accordingly, the Company cautions you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements and there can be no assurances that the Company will achieve the desired level of new business development and new loans, growth in the balance sheet and fee-based revenue lines of business, cost savings initiatives and continued reductions in risk assets or mitigation of losses in the future. Factors which could cause the actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: interest rate changes or volatility; general economic conditions (including inflation and concerns about liquidity) on a national basis or in the local markets in which the Company operates; ineffectiveness of the Company’s strategic growth plan due to changes in current or future market conditions; the effects of competition and how it may impact our community banking model, including industry consolidation and development of competing financial products and services; changes in consumer behavior due to changing political, business and economic conditions, or legislative or regulatory initiatives; changes in, and evolving interpretations of, existing and future laws and regulations; changes in credit quality; inability to raise capital, if necessary, under favorable conditions; volatility in the securities markets; the demand for our products and services; deteriorating economic conditions; geopolitical tensions; operational risks including, but not limited to, cybersecurity incidents, fraud, natural disasters and future pandemics; expenses associated with litigation and legal proceedings; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the merger with Codorus Valley Bancorp are not realized when expected or at all; and other risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 under the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in subsequent filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materializes, or if the Company’s underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what the Company anticipates. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and the Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict those events or how they may affect it. In addition, the Company cannot assess the impact of each factor on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that the Company or persons acting on the Company’s behalf may issue.

    The review period for subsequent events extends up to and includes the filing date of a public company’s financial statements, when filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the consolidated financial information presented in this announcement is subject to change. Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers in this document are used for illustrative purposes only and are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results.

  • MIL-OSI: Ellomay Capital Announces the Acquisition of 15% of Dorad Energy’s Shares by Ellomay Luzon Energy, Increasing Ellomay Luzon Energy’s Holdings in Dorad to 33.75%

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Tel-Aviv, Israel, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ellomay Capital Ltd. (NYSE American; TASE: ELLO) (“Ellomay” or the “Company”), a renewable energy and power generator and developer of renewable energy and power projects in Europe, the USA and Israel, announced that on July 22, 2025, Ellomay Luzon Energy Infrastructures Ltd. (“Ellomay Luzon Energy”), an Israeli private company 50% held indirectly by the Company, completed the acquisition of 15% of the outstanding shares of Dorad Energy Ltd. (“Dorad”). As a result of the acquisition, Ellomay Luzon Energy holds 33.75% of Dorad’s outstanding shares.  

    Ellomay Luzon Energy acquired 15% of Dorad’s outstanding shares by exercising the right of first refusal granted to Ellomay Luzon Energy and other Dorad shareholders in connection with a sale of the shares by Zorlu Enerji Elektrik Üretim A.S (“Zorlu”), a former Dorad shareholder. In connection with the right of first refusal process, Ellomay Luzon Energy and Edelcom Ltd. (“Edelcom”), each executed an agreement to purchase 7.5% of Dorad’s shares. As not all the conditions to closing of the sale of 7.5% of Dorad’s shares to Edelcom were fulfilled, Edelcom’s agreement was terminated and Ellomay Luzon Energy, who did succeed in fulfilling all of the conditions to closing, acquired 15% of Dorad’s shares.

    The consideration for the shares was approximately NIS 424 million (approximately €108 million), and was funded by bank financing (the “Loan Agreement”) provided to Ellomay Luzon Energy consisting of three tranches as follows: (i) a loan in the amount of NIS 175 million (approximately €45 million), bearing annual interest in the range of +0.5% to -0.5% of the Israeli Prime Rate (the “First Loan”), (ii) a loan in the amount of NIS 175 million (approximately €45 million), bearing fixed annual interest rate between 5% and 6% (the “Second Loan”), and (iii) a loan in the amount of NIS 70 million (approximately €18 million), bearing annual interest rate in the range of +0.5% to -0.5% of the Israeli Prime Rate (the “Third Loan”).

    The First Loan is repayable in four semi-annual payments commencing December 31, 2031 and ending on June 30, 2033, and the interest on the First Loan is payable in semi-annual payments commencing December 31, 2025 and ending on the final repayment of the First Loan. The Second Loan is repayable in sixteen semi-annual payments commencing December 31, 2025 and ending on June 30, 2033, and the interest on the Second Loan is payable in semi-annual payment commencing December 31, 2025 and ending on the final repayment of the Second Loan. The Third Loan is repayable in one payment on December 31, 2025, unless the conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement will not be met, which will enable Ellomay Luzon Energy to ask for an extension until December 31, 2026. The interest on the Third Loan is payable on December 31, 2025 and, to the extent an extension is requested, in semi-annual payments thereafter until the final repayment of the Third Loan.

    In connection with the Loan Agreement, Ellomay Luzon Energy granted the lender a first ranking fixed pledge on its rights in connection with an account with the lender (the “Pledged Account”), in which all amounts due to Ellomay Luzon Energy from Dorad will be deposited. The Loan Agreement provides that when any dividend is received from Dorad: (i) Ellomay Luzon Energy will leave in the Pledged Account the amount required for the next payment to the lender, (ii) to the extent the amount received during a calendar year exceeds NIS 65 million, then Ellomay Luzon Energy will make an early repayment of the First Loan and thereafter the Third Loan in the amount of 50% of the difference between the amount of receipts in the calendar year and NIS 65 million by no later than June 30 of the following year (pro rata over all future payments), and (iii) with respect to any amount in excess of the amounts required as stated in paragraphs (i) and (ii) – Ellomay Luzon Energy is entitled to use the funds deposited in the Pledged Account for any need, subject to the provisions of the law and the agreements with the lender. The Loan Agreement provides that the First and Third Loans may be prepaid without an early repayment fee and the Second Loan may be prepaid subject to payment of fees as generally acceptable in the lender.

    The Loan Agreement includes customary immediate repayment provisions, including in the event of a breach of an undertaking by Ellomay Luzon Energy, a deterioration in Ellomay Luzon Energy’s financial situation and the initiation of legal proceedings in connection with the Dorad shares held by Ellomay Luzon Energy. The Loan Agreement includes additional undertakings by Ellomay Luzon Energy, including not to amend the Ellomay Luzon Energy shareholders’ agreement without the lender’s prior written consent and the execution of an undertaking not to operate outside its current field of operations; not to assume financial obligations and not to provide financing to a third party; not to sell and/or transfer and/or deliver and/or lease and/or rent any Asset and/or any right of its rights, as well as a negative pledge on any Asset (as this term is defined below) and/or part of the its Assets, without the lender’s prior written consent, other than a pledge on its shares of Dorad in favor of the lenders of Dorad. The undertaking defines an “Asset” as any asset and right of Ellomay Luzon Energy, including the shares of Dorad held by it and other rights of any kind, including its unissued share capital and goodwill.

    On July 20, 2025, Edelcom filed a request with the Tel Aviv-Jaffa District Court (the “Court”) for injunctions and temporary injunctions, ex parte, aimed at preventing the receipt of approval from the Dorad board of directors and Dorad’s shareholders for the sale of 7.5% of Dorad’s shares to any third party other than Edelcom and preventing such a sale. The Court, in its decision date July 20, 2025, rejected the request for ex parte relief and directed Edelcom to update the Court on the decisions of Dorad’s board of directors and shareholders by July 22, 2025, and, to the extent that the request for interim relief is still relevant, to file a main proceeding by July 27, 2025, further noting that the respondents (among them, inter alia: Dorad, Ellomay Luzon Energy and Zorlu), will prepare to respond to the request for interim relief by July 30, 2025. The Court’s decision further noted that if future actions will be approved by Dorad based on a transfer of shares if it occurs (and this, as stated, without the Court preventing it), whereby the increased power of the respondents as shareholders is used for the purpose of changes in Dorad’s board of directors, or the transfer of the shares to third parties, as Edelcom noted that it fears, and to the extent that the respondents will try to take such actions or other irrevocable action, Edelcom will be notified seven days in advance, in a manner that will allow it time to act and the Court to give appropriate instructions. A hearing is scheduled for August 6, 2025.

  • MIL-Evening Report: Kneecap’s stance on Gaza extends a long history of the Irish supporting other oppressed peoples

    Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Ciara Smart, PhD Graduand in Australasian Irish History, University of Tasmania

    Love them or hate them, there’s no doubt Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap are having a moment.

    Their music – delivered in a powerful fusion of English and Irish – is known for its gritty lyrics about party drugs and working-class life in post-Troubles Ireland. More recently, the group has made headlines for its outspoken support for the Palestinian people.

    British police have charged member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh (known by his stage name Mo Chara) with a terrorism offence. Ó hAnnaidh was charged in May, after being accused of displaying a Hezbollah flag at a London concert in November.

    But this isn’t the first time an Irish republican group has courted controversy for backing other oppressed peoples. This has been happening for almost two centuries.

    Unsanitised and vocal support

    Ireland is composed of 32 counties. Twenty-six are in the Republic of Ireland, while six are part of the United Kingdom in Northern Ireland. When the British government withdrew from most of Ireland in 1921, the Irish Free State was largely Catholic, while Northern Ireland was more heavily Protestant. But these divisions are becoming increasingly irrelevant.

    While Ireland is still split across two nations, public support for Irish unity remains strong, particularly among citizens of the Republic.

    Kneecap’s members are from Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland. They are also fierce republicans, which means they want to see Ireland united as one nation. One of their most popular songs, Get Your Brits Out, calls for the British state’s withdrawal from Northern Ireland.

    The group has experienced a meteoric rise in recent years, helped by a semi-autobiographical film released last year.

    They have reclaimed the term “Fenian”, often used as an anti-Irish slur. Their decision to rap in Irish is also a cultural milestone, as the language was suppressed in Northern Ireland for most of the 20th century, only achieving official language status in 2022.

    Despite being undeniable provocateurs, they claim they aren’t
    interested in reigniting Catholic-Protestant conflict. They celebrate the similarities between both groups, rather than highlight their differences.

    Ó hAnnaidh’s alleged terrorism offence came after he waved a Hezbollah flag at a London gig and chanted “Up Hamas, up Hezbollah”. Both Hamas and Hezbollah are considered terrorist groups in Britain. He will face court on August 20.

    Irish-Māori solidarity

    Kneecap is carrying on a long tradition of Irish groups who faced controversy for denouncing the oppressive acts of powerful states.

    In the 19th century, several Irish nationalist groups expressed solidarity with other colonised peoples, especially Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand. Groups such as the Irish Republican Brotherhood (whose members were called Fenians) arguably saw Māori and Irish as co-victims of a tyrannical state.

    Irish nationalist newspapers often wrote sympathetically about the colonisation of New Zealand, and tried to inspire Ireland to resist British subjugation, like Māori seemed to be doing.

    This painting by Kennett Watkins, The Death of Von Tempsky at Te Ngutu o Te Manu (circa 1893), portrays conflict in 1868 between armed constabulary and Māori forces.

    In July 1864, the Fenian newspaper The Irish People stressed British hypocrisy. It wrote, “savages we call [Māori], using the arrogant language of civilisation, but, honestly, they deserve to be characterised by a much better word”.

    It also scoffed at the “unconquerable propensity of the Anglo-Saxon to plunder the lands of other people – a propensity which manifests itself most strikingly alike in Ireland and New Zealand”.

    Similarly, in December 1868, the nationalist newspaper The Nation contrasted “valiant” Māori with “terrified” British. It sarcastically described Māori as “rebels (men fighting for their own rights on their own soil)” and mocked the British forces as “valiant men who could bully a priest”.

    The article finished on a sombre note: “Mere valour will in the end go down before the force of numbers and the cunning of diplomacy”.

    Rumours of a secret rebellion

    Other Irish leaders, such as the nationalist Michael Davitt, saw inspirational parallels between the nonviolent campaign of Charles Stewart Parnell, the 19th century leader of the Irish Home Rule movement, and Māori leader Te Whiti-o-Rongomai.

    In Ireland, Parnell encouraged poor tenant farmers to pause rent payments to their British landlords. In New Zealand, Te Whiti encouraged Māori to dismantle colonially-constructed fences and plough the land for themselves. Both were arrested in 1881 within three weeks of each other.

    The ‘No Rent Manifesto’ was issued on 18 October 1881, by Parnell and others of the Irish National Land League while in Kilmainham Jail.
    National Library of Ireland

    So strong was the sense of kinship between Irish and Māori that, in the 1860s, there were persistent rumours of a joint Irish-Māori rebellion reported in the media and even New Zealand’s parliament.

    In March, 1869, the conservative New Zealand newspaper Daily Southern Cross reported a large number of Māori “have decided on joining the Fenian Brotherhood, and have adopted the green flag as their national emblem”.

    Later that year, the paper reported the supposed Fenians told a Māori resistance group that, “like the Maori, they hate the British rule, and are prepared to make common cause […] to overthrow that rule in New Zealand”.

    However, these rumours were probably no more than a conspiracy fuelled by racist anti-Irish paranoia.

    Actions and outcomes

    Any tangible results of cross-cultural sympathy from 19th century Irish nationalists were mixed, at best. My ongoing research shows solidarity with Māori was partly motivated by humanitarian motives, but was also often used to make a point about Ireland.

    Identifying with another oppressed peoples within the context of a corrupt empire was a powerful way to argue for improved political recognition within Ireland. Irish nationalists generally didn’t do much other than declare their sympathy.

    Kneecap, on the other hand, seems willing to bear the legal and financial consequences of being vocal about human rights abuses in Gaza. Some of their shows have been cancelled, and funding providers have withdrawn.

    While curated rebellion can be lucrative in show-business, Kneecap says the controversy following them is a distraction. They insist the world should focus squarely on Gaza instead.

  • MIL-Evening Report: Central bank independence and credibility matters. Here’s why

    Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By John Simon, Adjunct Fellow in Economics, Macquarie University

    Olga Kashubin/Shutterstock

    In the United States, President Donald Trump has been pressuring the chairman of the US Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, to slash interest rates. This is partly to ease the interest payments on the ballooning US government debt.

    Powell has so far resisted, but Trump has also threatened to replace him with someone who will do what he asks.

    In Australia, after the Reserve Bank’s surprise decision to hold interest rates steady this month, some commentators have wondered if the central bank had “betrayed” Australians. Treasurer Jim Chalmers pointedly remarked:

    It’s not the result millions of Australians were hoping for or what the market was expecting.

    On Tuesday, the Reserve Bank released the minutes of that controversial policy-setting meeting, which said some economic data was slightly stronger than expected. The majority of the board believed:

    lowering the cash rate a third time within the space of four meetings would be unlikely to be consistent with the strategy of easing monetary policy in a cautious and gradual manner.

    Can’t rates just be kept low?

    Wouldn’t we be better off if central banks kept interest rates low, as some politicians and borrowers were hoping for? It would certainly help those of us with mortgages.

    Surprisingly, the answer is no.

    We are better off when central banks set interest rates with a view on the longer run rather than just the short-term demands of politicians and borrowers.

    To see why we can look at history to see what happens when a central bank isn’t independent.

    Why does independence matter?

    In the 1970s the chairman of the US Federal Reserve, Arthur Burns, was pressured to cut interest rates in the run-up to the 1972 election. He dutifully did so and, while President Richard Nixon was re-elected, this led to “stagflation” – with inflation, unemployment and even interest rates, higher than before interest rates were cut.

    A more recent example of political pressure can be seen in Turkey where the president pressured the central bank to cut interest rates. He hoped to stimulate the economy and believed higher interest rates caused higher inflation.

    Unfortunately, lower rates were shortly followed by higher inflation and, ultimately, much higher interest rates.

    And today in the US, even though Powell has so far resisted Trump’s pressure, financial markets are shaken and long-term interest rates go up when Trump talks about replacing him.

    Lower interest rates can be like a caffeinated energy drink – they give you a short-term energy boost, but can leave you tired, irritable and with a headache when the effects wear off.

    So, why does this happen? It’s all about expectations.

    Expectations about the future matter

    A central bank influences the economy both through what it does and what people expect it to do. The ability to shape expectations is a powerful tool for central banks, especially during crises such as the COVID pandemic, when official interest rates were close to zero.

    Imagine, for example, you are about to take out a mortgage. In making this decision you will likely think not just about current interest rates and your ability to make repayments, but what is likely to happen to future interest rates, your wages and inflation.

    Credibility is the key to successfully shaping people’s expectations. If a central bank is independent and credible, consumers and businesses will listen to what it says and adjust their expectations accordingly.

    The chart below illustrates this point.

    Macquarie University’s Business Outlook Scenarios Survey asks businesses if they believe the Reserve Bank will meet its inflation goals. Those that do trust the bank (the line labelled “certain”) have lower inflation expectations than those that don’t (the line labelled “uncertain”).

    Importantly, the expectations of those that trust the bank to meet its inflation goals tend to align with the bank’s 2–3% inflation target over the business cycle.

    And these expectations affect what businesses and consumers do today.

    So, how credible is the Reserve Bank today?

    Despite the surprise hold, Australians still trust the RBA

    Data from the Business Outlook Scenarios Survey shows the Reserve Bank has rebuilt its credibility since its 2021 “promise” not to raise interest rates until 2024. It has done this by reforming its board structure and membership, being more open and, most critically, by hitting the inflation target.

    Indeed, the most recent survey data shows that, if anything, the surprise decision increased people’s confidence in the bank’s ability to control inflation.

    In July, the survey was in the field between July 7 and 10. The Reserve Bank made its announcement on July 8. Out of 512 businesses surveyed, 368 completed it before the announcement and 144 completed it after the announcement.

    Overall, more than 40% of businesses surveyed were certain the Reserve Bank will achieve its inflation target. This is up from less than 10% a year ago. And, those who completed the survey after the announcement were more likely to trust the Reserve Bank than those that who completed it before the announcement.

    So next time you hear politicians and commentators calling for immediate interest rate cuts, you should hope the Reserve Bank ignores those calls and focuses on the longer term. Overseas experience shows things do not end well when politicians start determining interest rates.

    For centuries, clothes were hard to produce and expensive. People wore them as long as possible. But manufacturing advances have steadily driven down the cost of production. These days, clothing can be produced very cheaply. In the 1990s, companies began churning out fast fashion: low cost versions of high end trends. In the 2010s came ultra fast fashion, where clothes are produced extremely rapidly and intended to be almost disposable.

    Ultra fast fashion is deeply unsustainable. Producing it is energy intensive and many low quality items go rapidly to landfill.

    In response, France is planning to add a A$16 tax to each item of ultra-fast fashion, require mandatory environmental disclosures and ban advertising and influencer promotions.

    To date, Australia has done little about the problem – even though every Australian bought an average of 53 new pieces of clothing as of 2023 and we send 220,000 tonnes of clothes to the dump annually. Responses so far have focused on voluntary schemes, which have done little to help. Policymakers should look overseas.

    Why is ultra fast fashion such a problem?

    About 117 billion pieces of clothing were purchased worldwide in 2023 – about 14 pieces per person. That’s well beyond the limit of five new garments per year experts recommend if we’re to live within our planetary boundaries.

    There are many problems with buying too many cheap clothes. Textile manufacturing is surprisingly energy intensive. At present, the industry is responsible for about 2% of global emissions and this is expected to rise steadily. Millions of barrels of oil are used each year to make synthetic fibres such as polyester.

    Ultra fast fashion items rely heavily on synthetic fibres. When washed, they produce large volumes of microplastics which go into rivers and oceans. The European Union estimates textiles account for about 20% of freshwater pollution annually. Many ultra cheap clothing items have question marks over how ethically they were produced. Nearly all of these cheap clothes only have one owner before going to the dump.

    Australia’s response is minimal

    Australia has no national policy on clothing. Circular economy policies and strategies at both federal and state levels don’t tend to focus on textiles.

    Australian consumer laws regulate greenwashing of products. In 2023, Australia’s peak competition regulator flagged the textile industry as one with a high rate of concerning claims.

    Similarly, Australia’s modern slavery laws require large corporations to identify and address risks of slave labour in their operations. Fashion brands often source materials and labour from regions with high exploitation risks Unfortunately, these laws don’t have penalties attached.

    These laws are positive, but still far from the EU’s large-scale efforts to regulate the textile industry.

    One promising effort is the voluntary Seamless textile scheme. Voluntary schemes like these are often used as a way to introduce reforms to a previously unregulated sector or industry.

    The goal of this scheme is to help brands take responsibility for the entire lifespan of the garments they make or sell. Participating brands and retailers pay a levy which is used to promote clothing repair and rental, expand recycling and run information campaigns. Seamless is meant to help the industry prepare for a potential mandatory scheme in the future. Former Federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek said she was “not afraid to regulate” last year, but nothing has happened since.

    To date, participation has been very limited. Around 60 brands and retailers have signed up. Ultra-fast fashion brands such as Temu and Shein aren’t covered by the scheme, as they’re based overseas.

    Ultra-fast fashion rapidly turns into rubbish.

    Time for laws with teeth?

    France’s planned ultra fashion laws are directly aimed at high-volume, low-cost clothing producers with binding measures such as taxes and advertising bans. If the laws come into effect, France would likely see a substantial drop in the flows of these clothes and the textile waste produced.

    By contrast, Australia’s efforts so far aren’t changing things. The Seamless scheme is voluntary, while greenwashing and modern slavery laws rely on disclosures and lack enforcement powers and penalties.

    It wouldn’t be easy. At present, Australia lacks laws focused on textiles, while responsibility for clothing imports is split between different government departments and levels of government. The issue of fast fashion often hits local governments hardest in the form of increased waste volumes, for instance, but local governments have no power over the problem. If policymakers did introduce a French-style tax, they would face resistance from the industry and from some consumers.

    The upside? France’s approach is far more likely to actually curb the damage done by ultra-fast fashion.

    July 22, 2025

    “I cannot in good conscience support this funding bill while the Trump administration illegally withholds funding for programs appropriated by Congress for veterans in need.”

    Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), released the following statement ahead of the Senate’s vote on the FY 2026 MilCon-VA Appropriations Bill:

    “I care deeply about improving service members’ housing and honoring our nation’s promise to our veterans. All three of my brothers served in the military, and I’m the senior Senate Democrat for military personnel.

    “The Trump administration’s actions are disgraceful – freezing VA grants, cutting funds for veterans’ suicide prevention, stripping support for veteran homelessness, firing VA workers, gutting programs to help veterans avoid foreclosure and get mental health support in times of crisis. Nothing in this bill puts a stop to those actions.

    “I cannot in good conscience support this funding bill while the Trump administration illegally withholds funding for programs appropriated by Congress for veterans in need and Republicans unilaterally claw back bipartisan funding that Donald Trump doesn’t like. Congress is a co-equal branch of government. When we vote to protect our veterans, we need to stand by that vote. We swore an oath to the Constitution, not to a king. If Republicans want support for this bill, they can start by demonstrating they will uphold the law.

    “I will vote no on this funding bill.”

  • MIL-OSI USA: VA awards more than $2M in grants to memorialize Veterans

    Source: US Department of Veterans Affairs

    Skip to content

    WASHINGTON — The Department of Veterans Affairs today announced seven grants to educational and research institutions totaling $2,195,992 to memorialize Veterans interred in VA national cemeteries as part of the National Cemetery Administration’s Veterans Legacy Program initiative.

    The grants announced today will support the creation of documentaries, lesson plans, instructional aids and other educational materials regarding the lives and accomplishments of Veterans.

    VA established VLP in 2016 to memorialize Veterans through educational outreach and to connect students, educators, and citizens with VA national cemeteries. The program has so far awarded dozens of grants and engaged with more than 15,000 students. Veteran biographies, images and other content are also preserved on VA’s Veterans Legacy Memorial site, where individual web pages commemorate the lives and service of more than 10 million U.S. Veterans interred in U.S. and overseas cemeteries.

    “We are grateful for our collaborations with schools and non-profit organizations across the country to help preserve Veterans’ legacies,” said Acting Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs Ronald Walters. “These grants will help ensure future generations continue to learn about the remarkable men and women interred in VA national cemeteries.”

    The grantees announced today were selected following a rigorous review process. They include:

    • National History Day, Inc., $361,721
      National History Day will identify fifty teachers who live within 90 miles of a VA or VA-funded cemetery to each select two Veterans who served in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II. These teachers will then guide students to research and write biographical profiles for publication on the Veterans Legacy Memorial.  Student projects will conclude with visits to each Veteran’s grave site, where they will give eulogies based on what they learned about their lives. The program estimates that the 50 teachers selected for this program will reach more than 62,000 students in ten years.
    • Loyola Marymount University, $350,000
      The LMU Digital Veterans Legacy Project is an educational initiative designed to honor U.S. Veterans interred in national cemeteries through collaborative research and digital storytelling. Partnering with local schools, community organizations, ROTC programs, and national cemeteries, the project integrates veterans’ narratives into K-12 and university curricula. Building on the success of previous NCA grants, DVLP has engaged 524 students and produced 291 Veteran biographies. For 2025-2026, the project will train five Teacher Ambassadors to develop and implement three curriculum-aligned lesson plans each, and lead students in researching local veterans and creating digital media projects. LMU will take a community-based participatory methods approach to identifying Veterans by asking educators and community members to select those who have significant connections to their local communities. This project promotes civic engagement, honors Veterans’ legacies, enriches student learning, and will continue to create additional veteran-related learning resources for students and educators.
    • Kennesaw State University Research and Service Foundation, $341,881
      The proposed project represents a continuation and expansion of a project that curates the life histories of Veterans who served in the U.S. military in the late 1940s and 1950s who subsequently participated in the Civil Rights Movement. Building on initial work in 2024-2025 which featured World War II Veterans in Georgia, this proposal focuses on Vietnam-era Veterans in the Southeast. KSU will develop an immersive portfolio of educational and community outreach tools emphasizing community connection, including storyboards and supporting materials uploaded to the Veterans Legacy Memorial, a traveling Vietnam-era museum exhibit, a self-guided walking tour of a NCA cemetery, and community events that promote connection between students, community members, and Veterans. This project will preserve the stories of Veterans who contributed to our nation’s history in an extraordinary manner and promote student and community engagement with state and federal cemeteries in the Southeast. The project focuses on life histories of Veterans and interviews with next-of-kin. Kennesaw will do case identification, recruitment, and data collection, resulting in 967 cases reviewed, 341 cases confirmed to likely meet eligibility criteria, 25 next-of-kin identified and contacted, and eight interviews performed so far. The interviews are the subject of a traveling museum exhibit to be created by KSU Museums, Archives, and Rare Books, which will be created in summer 2025. Presentations based on this project have been accepted at two conferences.
    • U.S. Korea Global Strategy Foundation, $324,999
      This project will increase knowledge and awareness of the “Forgotten War” by creating ten new secondary social studies instructional modules, guiding student research that can be uploaded into VLM and delivering professional development to secondary teachers. Distributed nationally and internationally, the modules focus on the significance and purpose of national cemeteries and the experiences and sacrifices of Korean War Veterans. The project includes instructional modules that guide student research to locate biographical information for Korean War Veterans buried in local national cemeteries.
    • Research Foundation of the City University of New York, $280,000
      This project will develop a professional development seminar for 17 K-12 educators drawn from the greater New York metropolitan area. Participants will familiarize themselves with historical resources and other research materials to produce educational materials which relate to the stories of the Veterans interred in Cypress Hills National Cemetery. Students will generate biographies of Veterans interred at the cemetery that will be published to the Veterans Legacy Memorial. Participants will also be given a guided tour of Cypress Hills National Cemetery where they will become acquainted with the history of the cemetery, visit the important monuments located there, and familiarize themselves with the stories of the individuals interred there.
    • University of Central Florida, $274,439
      The UCF project will extend the memorialization of Veterans interred in National Cemeteries in Florida, with a focus on Cape Canaveral National Cemetery. UCF will partner with the Brevard County Veterans Memorial Center in Merritt Island, Florida and the Museum of Military History in Kissimmee, Florida to identify families of Veterans interested in providing oral history interviews. Educational materials will be created that are derived from these interviews. UCF will work with six Veterans Legacy-experienced educators to create lesson plans for 150 to 200 students during the 2025-2026 school year. UCF will also work with their partners to identify the families/comrades of 12-15 Veterans buried in Cape Canaveral National Cemetery or other Florida national cemeteries. They will digitize family photos, personal letters, commendations and medals, and other records to create source packets. UCF will also create mini podcasts of interviews with Veterans’ families. The video bios, podcasts, and other deliverables will be used in classroom teaching and in educational traveling cemetery tours. Photos and other information compiled will be added to VA’s Veterans Legacy Memorial.
    • West Virginia Humanities Council, Inc., $262,952 This project expands upon the geographical and academic impact of prior Veterans Legacy Grants Program awards, which have produced 30 Veteran biographies in a prior year grant and are creating 26 new Veteran biographies in the current grant. Students at Grafton High in Taylor County, University High in Monongalia County, and — for the first time — Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College in Logan County will conduct original primary source research into the lives of West Virginia Veterans and create short biographies to be published on the Veterans Legacy Memorial. Commemorative events will be held near Memorial Day to showcase student work. This project will expand upon prior projects and will compile data on 71 World War II Veterans to incorporate into a digital exhibit.

    VA operates 156 national cemeteries and 34 soldiers’ lots and monument sites in 45 states and

    Puerto Rico. More than five million Americans, including Veterans of every war and conflict, are buried in VA cemeteries.

  • MIL-OSI USA: House Foreign Affairs Committee Advances Measures to Codify Much-Needed Reforms to Foreign Arms Sales Process

    Source: US House Committee on Foreign Affairs

    Media Contact 202-321-9747

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the House Foreign Affairs Committee advanced six bills aimed at improving the foreign arms sales process and strengthening the U.S. defense industrial as part of the panel’s second markup of the 119th Congress.

    The suite of measures, which were spearheaded by the committee’s bipartisan Foreign Arms Sales Task Force, codify much-needed reforms to the foreign arms sales process outlined in President Trump’s executive order in April with tailored legislation to improve transparency, efficiency, and ease cooperation with foreign partners.

    House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast formally established the task force, which is being led by Chairman Ryan Zinke (R-MT) and Ranking Member Madeleine Dean (D-PA), in March to ensure the foreign arms sales process meets the demands of the future.

    “As Chairman of the Foreign Military Sales Task Force, I’ve made it my mission to eliminate the bureaucratic delays that prevent America’s top-tier military equipment from reaching our allies and partners,” Chairman Zinke said. “The Foreign Military Sales Task Force was given a job, and we intend to deliver. I appreciate Chairman Mast’s support in these efforts and look forward to voting for this legislation on the House floor.”

    Since being stood up, the task force has heard from foreign partners, defense industry stakeholders, and U.S. government officials from across the interagency about key reforms needed to ensure the foreign arms sales process meets the demands of the future.

    These task force’s efforts, which build upon the House Foreign Affairs Foreign Military Sales TIGER  Task Force co-led by Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) and Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) last Congress, will result in more efficient partnerships between the government and private sector stakeholders, a stronger defense industrial base, and foreign partners being better armed more quickly with American systems and hardware which improves interoperability.

    “These actions, at their core, are about deterring aggression and, when needed, defeating our adversaries,” Chairman Mast said. “When we streamline and strengthen the foreign arms sales process, we incentivize innovation, improve our domestic manufacturing capabilities, and create American jobs. This is a no-fail mission, and I appreciate the hard work by the Task Force in getting this legislation before the full committee today.”

    The six task force-led measures advanced in today’s markup include:

    H.R. 3613 – Streamlining Foreign Military Sales Act of 2025

    H.R. 4233 – AUKUS Reform for Military Optimization & Review (ARMOR) Act

    H.R. 4215 – ITAR Licensing Reform Act

    H.R. 4216 – Made-In-America Defense Act

    H.R. 3068 – Missile Technology Control Review Act

    H.R. 4335 – Abraham Accords Defense Against Terror Act

    Additionally, the committee advanced legislation aimed at strengthening U.S. partnerships and promoting peace and stability around the globe.

  • MIL-OSI USA: S. 237, Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act of 2025

    Source: US Congressional Budget Office

    Bill Summary

    S. 237 would expand eligibility for death, disability, and education benefits provided by the Public Safety Officer’s Benefit (PSOB) program to public safety officers and their beneficiaries if an officer dies or becomes permanently and totally disabled as a direct result of a cancer covered under the bill. S. 237 would apply retroactively to officers who die or become disabled on or after January 1, 2020. The bill would require the Department of Justice (DOJ) to review the list of cancers covered by the bill at least once every three years.

    S. 237 also would extend the deadline to file a claim for benefits under the PSOB program for officers and their beneficiaries for officers who die or become permanently and totally disabled from COVID-19. Under current law, the deadline to file such a claim was May 11, 2023, when the public health emergency declared during the coronavirus pandemic ended.

    Estimated Federal Cost

    The estimated budgetary effect of S. 237 is shown in Table 1. The costs of the legislation fall within budget function 750 (administration of justice).

    Basis of Estimate

    CBO assumes that the bill will be enacted near the end of fiscal year 2025. The estimate is based on CBO’s analysis of cancer incidence and mortality among the general population of the United States and a review of the medical literature related to cancer incidence and mortality among public safety officers, including firefighters. The estimate is also based on CBO’s projections of the number of deaths among public safety officers that are likely to be related to cancer and the number of officers or their beneficiaries who apply for and receive benefits under the PSOB program.

    Background

    The PSOB program is administered by DOJ to provide cash benefits to federal, state, and local public safety officers and their beneficiaries in the event of death or permanent and total disability resulting from physical injuries and certain mental health conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder. Education benefits are also available to eligible spouses and children of officers who die or become disabled in the line of duty. Public safety officers include those working in law enforcement, firefighters, emergency management, and emergency medical services.

    The program already provides benefits to World Trade Center responders and their beneficiaries who die or become disabled from cancer from exposure to a carcinogen after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. CBO is unaware of the program approving any death or disability claim related to cancer that does not stem from attacks on September 11, 2001.

    Eligibility Under the Bill

    Under S. 237, an exposure to a carcinogen would qualify as an injury in the line of duty if an officer later dies or becomes permanently and totally disabled as a direct result of cancer. The bill would direct DOJ to presume that a qualifying injury caused the death or disability if the officer:

    • Was exposed to a carcinogen while in the line of duty;
    • Served for at least five years before being diagnosed with cancer; and
    • Received a diagnosis of cancer within 15 years of leaving service.

    The presumption would not apply if DOJ determines, based on competent medical evidence, that the exposure to a carcinogen was not a substantial factor in an officer’s death or disability.

    Direct Spending

    The PSOB program pays a one-time death benefit to spouses and children or other designated beneficiaries of officers who die in the line of duty. The cost of those benefits is classified in the budget as direct spending. In 2025, the one-time benefit is $448,575; under current law, that amount increases each year to account for inflation.

    Cancer Claims. CBO expects that most relatives of potentially eligible officers would apply for benefits. Based on information from DOJ and other similar programs, such as the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, CBO estimates that about 75 percent of claims for cancer-related deaths among public safety officers would ultimately result in benefits being paid to family members or designated beneficiaries. CBO expects that firefighters would account for most claims under the bill.

    Using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on cancer mortality among the general population and a review of medical literature regarding cancer incidence and mortality among firefighters, CBO estimates that, on average, about 40 claims would be filed annually over the 2025-2035 period.

    S. 237 also would require benefits to be awarded for cancer deaths occurring between January 1, 2020, and the date of enactment. CBO estimates that about 200 claims would be submitted for officers who died from cancer during that period and that those claims would be filed within three years of enactment.

    COVID-19 Claims. Additionally, the bill would extend by three years the deadline to file a claim for death benefits for spouses, children, or other beneficiaries of officers who die from COVID-19. Under current law, an officer is presumed to be eligible by DOJ if the officer was diagnosed with COVID-19 within 45 days of the last day of duty and medical evidence indicates that the officer had the virus or complications from the virus at the time of death. Under current law, the deadline to file such a claim was May 11, 2023, when the public health emergency related to the coronavirus pandemic was lifted. Using information from DOJ about the number of those claims it received between 2020 and 2023 and data from the CDC on COVID-19 mortality, CBO estimates that about 150 claims would be submitted for officers who die from COVID-19.

    In total, CBO estimates that under the bill, about 765 claims would be filed over the 2025-2035 period. Based on the amount of time CBO estimates that it would take DOJ to process each eligible claim, CBO estimates that about 530 claims would be approved for benefits over the next decade under S. 237. (About 30 claims filed during that period would be approved after 2035.) Accounting for expected increases in inflation, CBO estimates that enacting S. 237 would increase direct spending by $255 million over the 2025-2035 period.

    Spending Subject to Appropriation

    By expanding the scope of qualifying deaths and injuries, S. 237 also would increase the number of claimants eligible for disability and education benefits under the PSOB program. Spending for those benefits is subject to the availability of appropriated funds. DOJ also would incur administrative costs to implement the bill. In total, CBO estimates that implanting S. 237 would cost $59 million over the 2025-2030 period (see Table 2). That spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.

    Disability Benefits. Under current law, the PSOB program pays benefits for permanent and total disability resulting from injuries suffered in the line of duty. Under current law, claimants receive a one-time benefit that is the same amount as the death benefit ($448,575 in 2025), which increases each year to account for inflation. In total, CBO estimates that the cost of disability benefits under S. 237 would be $24 million over the 2025-2030 period.

    Cancer Claims. S. 237 would designate an exposure to a carcinogen as an injury in the line of duty if an officer later becomes permanently disabled as a direct result of cancer. Using information from DOJ about the historical number of claims, CBO expects that fewer claims for disability benefits would be filed under the bill than claims for death benefits. On that basis, CBO estimates that one claim for disability benefits would be filed for every three claims for death benefits. Additionally, based on conversations with DOJ and subject matter experts, CBO expects that most officers affected by cancer would not meet the permanently and totally disabled threshold. Based on historical approval rates for disability-related claims, CBO estimates that about 50 percent of claims for disability claims would ultimately be approved.

    Under the bill, CBO estimates that about 120 claims for disability benefits related to cancer would be filed over the 2025-2030 period. Using information from DOJ about the time it takes to process each claim, CBO estimates that about 50 claims would be approved over the same period. (About 10 additional claims filed during the period would be approved after 2030.)

    COVID-19 Claims. S. 237 also would extend by three years the deadline to file a claim for benefits under the PSOB program for officers who become permanently and totally disabled from COVID-19. Using data from DOJ about the number of those claims filed and approved over the 2020-2023 period, CBO estimates that under S. 237 fewer than five claims would be approved for officers who become disabled from COVID-19.

    Education Benefits. Under current law, the spouse or children of a public safety officer who dies or becomes permanently disabled from physical injuries and certain mental health conditions may also be eligible for education benefits to cover tuition, fees, books, supplies and room and board. The monthly benefit for a full-time student in 2025 is $1,536; that amount is adjusted each year for inflation. Under current law, the maximum duration of benefits is 45 months of full-time education or a proportionate duration of part-time education.

    Historical data from the PSOB program indicate that about three claims for education benefits have been approved for every two claims that have been approved for death and disability benefits. On that basis, CBO estimates that about 360 claims stemming from death benefits and about 50 claims stemming from disability benefits will be approved over the 2025-2030 period under S. 237. Using information about the time it takes to process claims for education benefits, CBO estimates that about 650 people will receive benefits over the 2025-2030 period under the bill. In total, CBO estimates that those benefits would cost $30 million over the 2025-2030 period. Those outlays reflect the historical spending patterns for such claims.

    Administrative Costs. As discussed above, implementing S. 237 would require DOJ to review more than 150 additional claims annually under the bill. Using information from the agency about the number of staff required to process claims under current law, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would require an additional five people each year to process claims and review the list of eligible cancers at a cost of $1 million annually. In total, CBO estimates that DOJ would incur $5 million in administrative costs over the 2025-2030 period.

    Uncertainty

    CBO’s cost estimate for S. 237 is subject to significant uncertainty in several areas:

    • Identifying public safety officers’ rate of incidence and deaths from cancer and COVID-19;
    • Estimating the number of people who would be eligible to file claims for benefits under the bill;
    • Calculating the proportion of claims that DOJ would determine to be eligible, which is affected by the latency periods for different cancers and other circumstances specific to each officer’s medical history and lifestyle; and
    • Anticipating the timing of submissions and the amount of time required to review applications and process claims.

    CBO strives for estimates that are in the middle of possible outcomes and each factor in the estimate could be higher or lower than CBO estimates. As a result, enacting the bill could result in higher or lower costs than CBO estimates.

    Pay-As-You-Go Considerations

    The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 establishes budget-reporting and enforcement procedures for legislation affecting direct spending or revenues. The net changes in outlays that are subject to those pay-as-you-go procedures are shown in Table 3.

  • MIL-OSI Security: Passenger Pleads Guilty to Sexual Assault Charges During Flight From Montana to Texas

    Source: US FBI

    MISSOULA – A New Jersey man accused of sexual assault while flying from Bozeman, Montana to Dallas, Texas admitted to charges today, U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme said.

    The defendant, Bhaveshkumar Dahyabhai Shukla, 37, pleaded guilty to one count of abusive sexual contact in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States. Shukla faces up to 2 years of imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, and at least 5 years of supervised release.

    U.S. Magistrate Judge Kathleen L. DeSoto presided. U.S. District Court Judge Dana L. Christensen will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. Sentencing is set for November 19, 2025. Shukla was detained pending further proceedings.

    The government alleged in court documents that on January 26, 2025, Shukla was flying from Bozeman to Dallas on American Airlines. He was seated next to Jane Doe and Doe’s daughter. Jane Doe had a coat on her lap because she was cold. Shukla also placed his coat on his lap and initially acted as if he was sleeping but began using his right hand to rub Jane Doe’s left leg near her pocket on her hip. Jane Doe initially thought Shukla was trying to pick her pocket, so she and her daughter got up and went to the restroom to diffuse the situation.

    Shukla continued rubbing Jane Doe’s inner and outer thigh throughout the flight. Doe was scared and firmly told him to “stop touching me.” Shukla said he was sorry and attempted to offer her something out of his bag.  He also tried to talk to Jane Doe’s daughter, and Doe responded, “she’s fine. Don’t talk to my daughter.” As the flight continued, the plane hit some turbulence and the flight crew remained seated. Shukla continued to rub Jane Doe’s thigh and, frightened, she turned her back to him, at which point he started rubbing her lower back and buttocks.

    A witness seated in the row behind Shukla and Jane Doe confirmed that Shukla inappropriately touched Jane Doe for a large portion of the flight.

    Assistant U.S. Attorneys Zeno Baucus and Brian Lowney prosecuted the case. The FBI, ICE and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Police conducted the investigation.

  • MIL-OSI: First Community Bankshares, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results and Quarterly Cash Dividend

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BLUEFIELD, Va., July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — First Community Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCBC) (www.firstcommunitybank.com) (the “Company”) today reported its unaudited results of operations and other financial information for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Company reported net income of $12.25 million, or $0.67 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $24.06 million or $1.31 per diluted common share.

    The Company also declared a quarterly cash dividend to common shareholders of thirty-one cents, $0.31, per common share. The quarterly dividend is payable to common shareholders of record on August 8, 2025, and is expected to be paid on August 22, 2025. This year marks the 40th consecutive year of regular dividends to common shareholders and the prior year was the 15th consecutive year of regular dividend increases.

    During the second quarter of 2025, the Company was named a recipient of the 2024 Raymond James Community Bankers Cup. The award recognizes the superior financial performance of the top 10% of the country’s community banks.

    Second Quarter 2025 Highlights

    Income Statement

    • Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2025 remained strong at 4.37%. The yield on earning assets decreased 16 basis points from the same period of 2024 and is primarily attributable to a decrease in interest income of $1.40 million. Interest income on loans decreased $2.05 million, which was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance for loans of $134.85 million. Additionally, the yield on loans decreased 6 basis points. The decrease in interest income on loans was somewhat offset by an increase in interest income on interest-bearing deposits with banks of $840 thousand. Interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities decreased $145 thousand, which is primarily attributable to a decrease in average balance, as well as a decrease in yield of 3 basis points.
    • There was a recovery of provision for credit losses for the quarter ending June 30, 2025, of $285 thousand compared to a provision of $144 thousand for the same period of 2024. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in net charge-offs for the quarter of $553 thousand compared to the same period in 2024 and a reduction in loan balance period over period of $119.99 million.
    • Noninterest income increased approximately $998 thousand, or 10.68%, when compared to the same quarter of 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in service charges on deposits of $692 thousand, or 20.19%. Noninterest expense increased $558 thousand, or 2.24%, when compared to the same period of 2024. The increase is attributable to increases in salaries and benefits of $1.86 million, or 14.87%, other operating expense of $328 thousand, or 10.84%, and advertising and public relations of $221 thousand, or 23.67%. 
    • Net income of $12.25 million for the second quarter of 2025, was a decrease of $440 thousand, or 3.47%, from the same quarter of 2024. Net income of $24.06 million for the first six months of 2025, was a decrease of $1.47 million, or 5.75%, from the same period of 2024.
    • Annualized return on average assets (“ROA”) was 1.53% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 1.58% for the same period of 2024. Annualized return on average assets (“ROA”) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was 1.51% compared to 1.59% for the same period of 2024 Annualized return on average common equity (“ROE”) was 9.84% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to 10.02% for the same period of 2024. Annualized return on average common equity (“ROE”) was 9.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 10.10% for the same period of 2024. Additionally, return on average tangible common equity continues to remain strong at 14.32% for the second quarter of 2025.

    Balance Sheet and Asset Quality

    • Consolidated assets totaled $3.18 billion at June 30, 2025.
    • Loans decreased $62.81 million, or 2.60%, from December 31, 2024. Securities available for sale decreased $37.31 million, or 21.97%, from December 31, 2024. Deposits decreased $55.88 million, or 2.08%, which was due to a decrease in interest-bearing demand deposits and declining higher-rate time deposits. Stockholder equity decreased $23.56 million, or 4.48% primarily due to the payment of a special cash dividend in the first quarter of 2025. The net effect of these balance sheet changes resulted in an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $17.60 million, or 4.66%.
    • The Company repurchased 50,338 common shares during the second quarter of 2025 at a cost of $1.85 million; there were no shares repurchased in the first quarter of 2025. The Company purchased 155,044 common shares during the second quarter of 2024 at a total cost of $5.28 million; a total of 244,440 common shares was purchased during the first six months of 2024 at a total cost of $8.25 million.
    • Total non-performing assets as of June 30, 2025, were $19.17 million, compared with $20.67 million as of December 31, 2024, and $19.93 million as of June 30, 2024. The Company has realized a declining trend in non-performing assets since September 30, 2024.
    • Non-performing loans to total loans remained the same at 0.79% when compared with the same quarter of 2024. The Company experienced net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2025 of $472 thousand, or 0.08% of annualized average loans, compared to net charge-offs of $1.03 million, or 0.16%, of annualized average loans for the same period in 2024.
    • The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.40% at June 30, 2025, compared to 1.44% at December 31, 2024 and 1.41% at June 30, 2024.
    • Book value per share at June 30, 2025, was $ 27.46, a decrease of $1.27 from year-end 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to the payment of the special cash dividend in the first quarter of 2025 of $2.07 per share totaling approximately $37.93 million.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    In addition to financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures that provide useful information for financial and operational decision making, evaluating trends, and comparing financial results to other financial institutions. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this news release include “tangible book value per common share,” “return on average tangible common equity,” “adjusted earnings,” “adjusted diluted earnings per share,” “adjusted return on average assets,” “adjusted return on average common equity,” “adjusted return on average tangible common equity,” and certain financial measures presented on a fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis. FTE basis is calculated using the federal statutory income tax rate of 21%. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a reconciliation to that comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the attached tables to this press release. While the Company believes certain non-GAAP financial measures enhance the understanding of its business and performance, they are supplemental and not a substitute for, or more important than, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to those reported by other financial institutions.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    WAUWATOSA, Wis., July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Waterstone Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSBF), holding company for WaterStone Bank, reported net income of $7.7 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to $5.7 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Net income per diluted share was $0.59 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to net income per diluted share of $0.47 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

    “We are pleased with our performance during the quarter, which resulted in our highest quarterly earnings per share since the quarter ended December 31, 2021,” said William Bruss, Chief Executive Officer of Waterstone Financial, Inc. “The Community Banking segment achieved $2.4 million of growth in net interest income compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to continued improvement in our cost of funds. We continue to maintain strong asset quality and experience minimal loan loss activity, resulting in releases from our allowance for credit losses. The Mortgage Banking segment recorded pre-tax income as seasonal loan origination volumes expanded during the quarter and professional fees normalized following the finalization of our legal settlement during the prior quarter. On a consolidated level, we continued to add to book value per share through strong earnings and an active share repurchase program.”

    Community Banking Segment

    • Pre-tax income totaled $7.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, which represents a $2.6 million, or 50.4%, increase compared to $5.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

    • Average loans held for investment totaled $1.67 billion during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, which represents a decrease of $1.5 million, or 0.1%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in single-family mortgages offset by increases in commercial real estate and multi-family mortgages. Average loans held for investment decreased $8.1 million compared to $1.67 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to decrease in single-family mortgages.
    • Net interest margin increased 59 basis points to 2.60% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to 2.01% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, which was primarily driven by an increase in weighted average yield on loans receivable and held for sale and decreases in the cost of borrowings and weighted average cost of deposits. Net interest margin increased 13 basis points compared to 2.47% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, which was primarily driven by an increase in weighted average yield on loans receivable and held for sale and decreases in cost of borrowings and weighted average cost of deposits.

The current quarter decrease was primarily due to decreases in multi-family qualitative risk factors, offset by an increase in the single-family loan qualitative factors primarily related to increases in internal asset quality risk factors and an increase in construction loan balances. The provision for credit losses related to unfunded loan commitments was $106,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to a negative provision for credit losses related to unfunded loan commitments of $82,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The provision for credit losses related to unfunded loan commitments for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was due primarily to an increase in the loans approved that are currently waiting to close compared to the prior quarter end.

  • MIL-OSI: Waterstone Financial, Inc. Announces Results of Operations for the Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    WAUWATOSA, Wis., July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Waterstone Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSBF), holding company for WaterStone Bank, reported net income of $7.7 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to $5.7 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Net income per diluted share was $0.59 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to net income per diluted share of $0.47 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

    “We are pleased with our performance during the quarter, which resulted in our highest quarterly earnings per share since the quarter ended December 31, 2021,” said William Bruss, Chief Executive Officer of Waterstone Financial, Inc. “The Community Banking segment achieved $2.4 million of growth in net interest income compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to continued improvement in our cost of funds. We continue to maintain strong asset quality and experience minimal loan loss activity, resulting in releases from our allowance for credit losses. The Mortgage Banking segment recorded pre-tax income as seasonal loan origination volumes expanded during the quarter and professional fees normalized following the finalization of our legal settlement during the prior quarter. On a consolidated level, we continued to add to book value per share through strong earnings and an active share repurchase program.”

    Community Banking Segment

    • Pre-tax income totaled $7.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, which represents a $2.6 million, or 50.4%, increase compared to $5.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

    • Average loans held for investment totaled $1.67 billion during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, which represents a decrease of $1.5 million, or 0.1%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in single-family mortgages offset by increases in commercial real estate and multi-family mortgages. Average loans held for investment decreased $8.1 million compared to $1.67 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to decrease in single-family mortgages.
    • Net interest margin increased 59 basis points to 2.60% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to 2.01% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, which was primarily driven by an increase in weighted average yield on loans receivable and held for sale and decreases in the cost of borrowings and weighted average cost of deposits. Net interest margin increased 13 basis points compared to 2.47% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, which was primarily driven by an increase in weighted average yield on loans receivable and held for sale and decreases in cost of borrowings and weighted average cost of deposits.

The current quarter decrease was primarily due to decreases in multi-family qualitative risk factors, offset by an increase in the single-family loan qualitative factors primarily related to increases in internal asset quality risk factors and an increase in construction loan balances. The provision for credit losses related to unfunded loan commitments was $106,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to a negative provision for credit losses related to unfunded loan commitments of $82,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The provision for credit losses related to unfunded loan commitments for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was due primarily to an increase in the loans approved that are currently waiting to close compared to the prior quarter end.

  • MIL-OSI: Hanmi Reports 2025 Second Quarter Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LOS ANGELES, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hanmi Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: HAFC, or “Hanmi”), the parent company of Hanmi Bank (the “Bank”), today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2025.

    Net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $15.1 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared with $17.7 million, or $0.58 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2025. The return on average assets for the second quarter of 2025 was 0.79% and the return on average equity was 7.48%, compared with a return on average assets of 0.94% and a return on average equity of 8.92% for the first quarter of 2025.

    CEO Commentary

    “Hanmi delivered solid performance in the second quarter, highlighted by strong operational metrics,” said Bonnie Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We further expanded our net interest margin to 3.07%, and grew preprovision net revenue by 3.7%, primarily driven by lower funding costs.”

    “Loans grew 1.6% on an annualized basis with healthy C&I and residential mortgage loan production. Our relationship-based model continued to drive deposit growth, up 1.7% for the quarter. Noninterest-bearing demand deposit balances remained strong, accounting for over 30% of total deposits.”

    “Our second quarter net income was impacted by credit loss expense; however, importantly, asset quality remained excellent with significant improvement from the prior quarter. Criticized loans, nonaccrual loans and delinquent loans all declined notably. Looking to the second half of the year, we are encouraged by the strength of our loan pipeline and remain focused on deepening client relationships, expanding our market presence and leveraging our balance sheet to deliver sustainable long-term growth.”

    Second Quarter 2025 Highlights:

    • Second quarter net income was $15.1 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared with $17.7 million, or $0.58 per diluted share in the first quarter; the decline was driven by credit loss expense of $7.6 million.
    • Preprovision net revenue1 grew 3.7%, or $1.0 million, reflecting a 3.7% increase in net interest income, a five basis point increase in the net interest margin, a 4.5% increase in noninterest income and well-managed noninterest expenses with the efficiency ratio remaining unchanged at 55.7%.
    • Asset quality improved significantly from the first quarter – criticized loans dropped 71.8% to 0.74% of total loans reflecting $85.3 million in loan upgrades of two CRE loans, a $20.0 million loan payment, and an $8.6 million loan charge-off; nonaccrual loans fell 26.8% to 0.41% of total loans reflecting the loan charge-off; and loan delinquencies declined to 0.17% of total loans.
    • Loans receivables were $6.31 billion at June 30, 2025, up 0.4% from the end of the first quarter of 2025; loan production for the second quarter was $329.6 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 7.10%.
    • Deposits were $6.73 billion at June 30, 2025, up 1.7% from the end of the first quarter of 2025; noninterest-bearing demand deposits at June 30, 2025 were 31.3% of total deposits.
    • Hanmi’s capital position remains strong with the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets2 at 9.58% and the common equity tier 1 capital ratio at 12.12%; both essentially unchanged from the first quarter; tangible book value per share3 was $24.91.

    Results of Operations

    Net interest income for the second quarter was $57.1 million, up 3.7% from $55.1 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase reflected the benefit of lower rates on interest-bearing liabilities, a higher volume of interest-earning assets and one additional day in the quarter. Average interest-earning assets increased 1.2% while the average yield decreased by one basis point. Average loans receivable increased 1.1% while the average yield decreased by two basis points to 5.93%. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased 0.9% while the average rate paid declined seven basis points. Average interest-bearing deposits, however, increased 3.7% while the average rate paid declined by five basis points to 3.64%, primarily due to lower rates paid on time deposits. Average borrowings fell 66.5% while the average rate paid increased one basis point. 

    Net interest margin (taxable equivalent) for the second quarter was 3.07%, up five basis points from 3.02% for the first quarter of 2025. The increase in the net interest margin reflected principally the benefit from lower average borrowings and a higher average balance of interest-bearing deposits in other banks.

    Credit loss expense for the second quarter was $7.6 million, compared with $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase in credit loss expense reflected the increase in net charge-offs as well as an increase in quantitative and qualitative estimated loss rates. Net charge-offs included an $8.6 million loan charge-off on the syndicated commercial real estate office loan designated as nonaccrual, with an associated specific allowance of $6.2 million, in the first quarter of 2025. Second quarter credit loss expense included a $7.5 million credit loss expense for loan losses and a $0.1 million credit loss expense for off-balance sheet items. First quarter credit loss expense included a $2.4 million credit loss expense for loan losses and a $0.3 million credit loss expense for off-balance sheet items.

    Noninterest income for the second quarter increased $0.4 million, or 4.5%, to $8.1 million from $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $0.2 million increase on gains from the sale of SBA loans and an increase in bank-owned life insurance income of $0.4 million from a death benefit claim, partially offset by the absence of gain on sale of mortgage loans. Gain on sales of SBA loans were $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared with $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2025. The volume of SBA loans sold for the second quarter increased to $35.4 million from $32.2 million for the first quarter of 2025, while trade premiums were 7.61% for the second quarter of 2025 compared with 7.82% for the first quarter. There were no mortgage loans sales during the second quarter, compared with $10.0 million of mortgage loans sold at a 2.50% premium for the first quarter. Gains on mortgage loans sold were $0.2 million for the first quarter. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, $41.9 million of mortgage loans were sold at a 2.38% premium resulting in a gain of $0.7 million.

    Noninterest expense for the second quarter increased $1.3 million to $36.3 million from $35.0 million for the first quarter of 2025. Second quarter noninterest expense was up 3.9% sequentially due to increases in salaries and benefits, professional fees, advertising and promotion and all other operating expenses, partially offset by a $0.6 million gain on sale of other real estate owned. Salaries and benefits increased $1.1 million due to annual merit adjustments and lower capitalized salaries related to loan production. Professional fees increased $0.3 million due to new project activities and fees for services. Advertising and promotion increased $0.2 million primarily due to a new branch opening. All other operating expenses increased $0.4 million due to loan and deposit operating expenses. The efficiency ratio for the second quarter was 55.7%, unchanged from the first quarter of 2025.

    Asset Quality

    Loans 30 to 89 days past due and still accruing were 0.17% of loans at the end of the second quarter of 2025, compared with 0.28% at the end of the prior quarter.

    Criticized loans totaled $46.6 million at June 30, 2025, down from $164.9 million at the end of the prior quarter. The $118.3 million decrease resulted from a $105.7 million decrease in special mention loans, and a $12.6 million decrease in classified loans. The $105.7 million decrease in special mention loans included loan upgrades of $85.3 million of two commercial real estate loans, paydowns of $20.0 million and amortization of $0.7 million, offset by downgrades of $0.3 million. The $12.6 million decrease in classified loans resulted from $8.7 million of loan charge-offs (primarily due to the previously mentioned $8.6 million commercial real estate loan charge-off), $2.9 million of equipment financing charge-offs, $1.6 million of amortization/paydowns, $4.0 million of loan upgrades and, $0.2 million of payoffs, offset by $4.8 million in additions. Additions included newly classified equipment financing agreements of $2.4 million and loan downgrades of $2.4 million.

    Nonperforming loans were $26.0 million at June 30, 2025, down from $35.6 million at the end of the prior quarter. The $9.6 million decrease primarily reflected charge-offs of $11.6 million, $1.3 million in paydowns, loan upgrades of $1.0 million, and pay-offs of $0.2 million. Additions included $2.1 million of loans and $2.5 million of equipment financing agreements.

    Nonperforming assets were $26.0 million at June 30, 2025, down from $35.7 million at the end of the prior quarter. As a percentage of total assets, nonperforming assets were 0.33% at June 30, 2025, and 0.46% at the end of the prior quarter.

    Gross charge-offs for the second quarter of 2025 were $12.4 million, compared with $3.2 million for the preceding quarter. The increase in gross charge-offs was primarily due to a $8.6 million charge-off on a commercial real estate loan designated as nonaccrual during the first quarter of 2025. Charge-offs during the second quarter also included $2.9 million on equipment financing agreements. Recoveries of previously charged-off loans were $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2025, which included $0.6 million of recoveries on equipment financing agreements. As a result, there were $11.4 million of net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $1.9 million for the prior quarter.

    The allowance for credit losses was $66.8 million at June 30, 2025, compared with $70.6 million at March 31, 2025. Collectively evaluated allowances increased $3.8 million and specific allowances for loans decreased $7.6 million. The decrease in specific allowances was a result of the previously mentioned $8.6 million charge-off. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to loans was 1.06% at June 30, 2025 and 1.12% at the end of the prior quarter.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

    Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets Ratio

    Tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio is supplemental financial information determined by a method other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This non-GAAP measure is used by management in the analysis of Hanmi’s capital strength. Tangible common equity is calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders’ equity. Banking and financial institution regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders’ equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution. Management believes the presentation of this financial measure excluding the impact of these items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the capital strength of Hanmi.

    The following table reconciles this non-GAAP performance measure to the GAAP performance measure for the periods indicated:

    Preprovision Net Revenue

    Preprovision net revenue is supplemental financial information determined by a method other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP measure is used by management to measure Hanmi’s core operational performance, excluding the impact of provisions for loan losses. By isolating preprovision net revenue, management can better understand the Company’s profitability and make more informed strategic decisions. Preprovision net revenue is calculated adding income tax expense and credit loss expense to net income. Management believes this financial measure highlights the Company’s net revenue activities and operational efficiency, excluding unpredictable credit loss expense.

    The following table details the Company’s preprovision net revenue, which are non-GAAP measures, for the periods indicated:

    Total revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was $363.2 million, compared to $356.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. Our revenue in the second quarter of 2025 included $40.4 million of safe harbor revenue, compared to $54.3 million of safe harbor revenue in the first quarter. Our revenue in the United States for the second quarter of 2025 increased approximately 3%, compared to the first quarter. The increase was the result of seasonality partially offset by lower safe harbor revenue. Our revenue in Europe increased approximately 11% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to the first quarter. The increase in revenue was primarily due to higher microinverter and battery sales as we continued to ramp shipments of our IQ® Battery 5P™ with FlexPhase during the second quarter.

    Our non-GAAP gross margin was 48.6% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to 48.9% in the first quarter. Our non-GAAP gross margin, excluding net benefit from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), was 37.2% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to 38.3% in the first quarter. The reciprocal tariffs had a negative impact of approximately two percentage points on margins.

    Our non-GAAP operating expenses were $77.8 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $79.4 million in the first quarter. Our non-GAAP operating income was $98.6 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $94.6 million in the first quarter.

    We exited the second quarter of 2025 with $1.53 billion in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and generated $26.6 million in cash flow from operations in the second quarter. Our capital expenditures were $8.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $14.6 million in the first quarter of 2025.

    In the second quarter of 2025, we repurchased 702,948 shares of our common stock at an average price of $42.67 per share for a total of approximately $30.0 million. We also spent approximately $3.0 million by withholding shares to cover taxes for employee stock vesting that reduced the diluted shares by 58,332 shares.

    During the second quarter of 2025, we shipped approximately 1.41 million microinverters from manufacturing facilities in the United States that we booked for 45X production tax credits. We continued to ship our IQ8HC™ Microinverters, IQ8P-3P™ Commercial Microinverters, and IQ® Battery 5Ps from these facilities, meeting domestic content requirements.

    We shipped a record 190.9 MWh of IQ Batteries in the second quarter of 2025, compared to 170.1 MWh in the first quarter. More than 11,700 installers worldwide are certified to install our IQ Batteries, compared to more than 10,900 installers worldwide in the first quarter of 2025. In addition, we have 210 MWh of batteries in our fleet currently enrolled in virtual power plant (VPP) programs globally.

    During the second quarter of 2025, we began shipping our fourth-generation Enphase Energy System, which includes the IQ® Battery 10C, IQ® Meter Collar, and IQ® Combiner 6C, to customers in the United States. The IQ Battery 10C is designed to be 30% more energy-dense, occupy 62% less wall space, and lower the cost of install compared to previous models. Together, these components simplify the entire backup installation process, enhance reliability, and provide greater value to homeowners. The IQ Meter Collar has now been approved by 29 U.S. utilities.

    We also ramped shipments of our IQ Battery with FlexPhase into more countries in Europe. This AC-coupled battery system supports both single-phase and three-phase homes, providing full backup capability and superior flexibility to meet diverse home energy needs.

    The IQ® EV Charger 2, our most advanced residential charger to date, is now shipping to 18 countries across Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. This smart charger is designed to work seamlessly with Enphase solar and battery systems or as a powerful standalone solution. We also started shipping our IQ® Balcony Solar Kit, a simple and efficient solution for harnessing solar energy from panels installed on apartment balconies, in Belgium and Germany during the second quarter of 2025.

    We continue to strengthen our digital platform and improve the customer experience. We are investing in several new enhancements for Solargraf, our all-in-one installer platform, including expanded third-party ownership (TPO) partner integrations, a custom tariff builder, enhanced dealership management features, and a simplified, AI-driven design experience – all aimed at making Solargraf even more powerful and intuitive.

    THIRD QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

    For the third quarter of 2025, Enphase Energy estimates both GAAP and non-GAAP financial results as follows:

    • Revenue to be within a range of $330.0 million to $370.0 million, which includes shipments of 190 to 210 MWh of IQ Batteries.
    • GAAP gross margin to be within a range of 41.0% to 44.0% with net IRA benefit, including approximately three to five percentage points of new tariff impact.
    • Non-GAAP gross margin to be within a range of 43.0% to 46.0% with net IRA benefit and 33.0% to 36.0% excluding net IRA benefit, including approximately three to five percentage points of new tariff impact. Non-GAAP gross margin excludes stock-based compensation expense and acquisition related amortization.
    • Net IRA benefit to be within a range of $34.0 million to $38.0 million based on estimated shipments of 1,200,000 units of U.S. manufactured microinverters.
    • GAAP operating expenses to be within a range of $130.0 million to $134.0 million.
    • Non-GAAP operating expenses to be within a range of $78.0 million to $82.0 million, excluding $52.0 million estimated for stock-based compensation expense, acquisition related amortization, restructuring and asset impairment charges.

    For 2025, Enphase expects a GAAP tax rate of 19-21% and a non-GAAP tax rate of 15-17%, including IRA benefits.

    Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Enphase Energy has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either exclude or include amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in the accompanying tables to this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures presented by Enphase Energy include non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, income from operations, net income, net income per share (basic and diluted), net IRA benefit, and free cash flow.

    These non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting, differ from GAAP measures with the same captions and may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar captions that are used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Enphase Energy’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Enphase Energy uses these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its operating performance and future prospects, develop internal budgets and financial goals, and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. Enphase Energy believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of its operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.

    As presented in the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” tables below, each of the non-GAAP financial measures excludes one or more of the following items for purposes of calculating non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of Enphase Energy’s current operating performance and a comparison to its past operating performance:

    Stock-based compensation expense. Enphase Energy excludes stock-based compensation expense from its non-GAAP measures primarily because they are non-cash in nature. Moreover, the impact of this expense is significantly affected by Enphase Energy’s stock price at the time of an award over which management has limited to no control.

    Acquisition related amortization. This item represents amortization of acquired intangible assets, which is a non-cash expense. Acquisition related amortization of acquired intangible assets are not reflective of Enphase Energy’s ongoing financial performance.

    Restructuring and asset impairment charges. Enphase Energy excludes restructuring and asset impairment charges due to the nature of the expenses being unusual and arising outside the ordinary course of continuing operations. These costs primarily consist of fees paid for cash-based severance costs, accelerated stock-based compensation expense and asset write-downs of property and equipment and acquired intangible assets, and other contract termination costs resulting from restructuring initiatives.

    Non-cash interest expense. This item consists primarily of amortization of debt issuance costs and accretion of debt discount because these expenses do not represent a cash outflow for Enphase Energy except in the period the financing was secured and such amortization expense is not reflective of Enphase Energy’s ongoing financial performance.

    Non-GAAP income tax adjustment. This item represents the amount adjusted to Enphase Energy’s GAAP tax provision or benefit to exclude the income tax effects of GAAP adjustments such as stock-based compensation, amortization of purchased intangibles, and other non-recurring items that are not reflective of Enphase Energy ongoing financial performance.

    Non-GAAP net income per share, diluted. Enphase Energy excludes the dilutive effect of in-the-money portion of convertible senior notes as they are covered by convertible note hedge transactions that reduce potential dilution to our common stock upon conversion of the Notes due 2025, Notes due 2026, and Notes due 2028, and includes the dilutive effect of employee’s stock-based awards and the dilutive effect of warrants. Enphase Energy believes these adjustments provide useful supplemental information to the ongoing financial performance.

    Net IRA benefit. This item represents the advanced manufacturing production tax credit (AMPTC) from the IRA for manufacturing microinverters in the United States, partially offset by the incremental manufacturing cost incurred in the United States relative to manufacturing in India. The AMPTC is accounted for by Enphase Energy as an income-based government grants that reduces cost of revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

    Free cash flow. This item represents net cash flows from operating activities less purchases of property and equipment.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CLEARFIELD, Pa., July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

    CNB Financial Corporation (“Corporation”) (NASDAQ: CCNE), the parent company of CNB Bank, today announced its earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

    Key Financial Trends

    • Earnings – Net income available to common shareholders (“earnings”) was $12.9 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, and $10.4 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
      • Excluding after-tax merger costs, earnings were $13.2 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, reflecting an increase of $1.3 million, or 11.31%, and $0.06 per diluted share, or 10.53%, compared to earnings of $11.9 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025.1
    • Loans – At June 30, 2025, loans totaled $4.7 billion, excluding the balances of syndicated loans, representing a quarterly increase of $113.7 million, or 2.50% (10.04% annualized), compared to March 31, 2025.
    • Deposits – At June 30, 2025, total deposits were $5.5 billion, reflecting a quarterly increase of $7.0 million, or 0.13% (0.51% annualized), compared to March 31, 2025.
      • The second quarter of 2025 included the exits/reductions of higher cost municipal deposits totaling approximately $77.7 million. Excluding the impact of these exits/reductions, total deposits increased approximately $84.7 million or 1.55% (6.22% annualized), compared to the first quarter of 2025.1
    • Net Interest Margin – Net interest margin was 3.60% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 3.38% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure, was 3.59% and 3.37%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.1
    • Credit Quality – Total nonperforming assets were approximately $30.4 million, or 0.48% of total assets, as of June 30, 2025, compared to $56.1 million, or 0.89% of total assets, as of March 31, 2025. The $25.7 million decrease in nonperforming assets for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily due to the resolution of approximately $24.1 million in non-performing assets, as discussed in more detail below.
      • Net loan charge-offs were $3.3 million, or 0.28% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, for the three months ended June 30 2025, compared to $1.4 million, or 0.13% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
    • Capital – As of June 30, 2025, the Corporation’s ratio of common shareholders’ equity to total assets was 9.17% compared to 9.00% at March 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Corporation’s ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, a non-GAAP measure, was 8.53% and 8.36%, respectively.1

    Executive Summary

    • Net income available to common shareholders (“earnings”) was $12.9 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, and $10.4 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Excluding after-tax merger costs, earnings were $13.2 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, reflecting an increase of $1.3 million, or 11.31%, and $0.06 per diluted share, or 10.53%, compared to earnings of $11.9 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025.1 The quarterly increase was a result of an increase in net interest income and non-interest income, and a decrease in non-interest expense, partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses, as discussed in more detail below. Excluding after-tax merger costs in the second quarter 2025, earnings and diluted earnings per share when compared to earnings of $11.9 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, in the quarter ended June 30, 2024, increased $1.4 million, or 11.41%, and $0.07 per diluted share, or 12.50%, due to an increase in net interest income and non-interest income, partially offset by increases in non-interest expense and the provision for credit losses.1
    • Earnings were $23.3 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Excluding after-tax merger costs, earnings were $25.1 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, reflecting an increase of $1.7 million, or 7.37%, and $0.08 per diluted share, or 7.21%, compared to earnings of $23.4 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024.1 The year-to-date increase was a result of an increase in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income, and increases in non-interest expense and the provision for credit losses, as discussed in more detail below.
    • At June 30, 2025, loans totaled $4.7 billion, excluding the balances of syndicated loans. This total of $4.7 billion in loans represented a quarterly increase of $113.7 million, or 2.50% (10.04% annualized), compared to March 31, 2025, and a year-over-year increase of $228.7 million, or 5.17%, compared to June 30, 2024. The increase in loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and the year-over-year increase in loans as of June 30, 2025, compared to June 30, 2024, was primarily driven by growth in the ERIEBANK, Ridge View Bank, BankOnBuffalo, and the legacy CNB markets, as well as CNB Bank’s Private Banking division.
      • At June 30, 2025, the syndicated loan portfolio totaled $78.9 million, or 1.67% of total loans, compared to $69.2 million, or 1.50% of total loans, at March 31, 2025 and $53.9 million, or 1.20% of total loans, at June 30, 2024. The increase in syndicated lending balances of $9.7 million compared to March 31, 2025 and $25.0 million compared to June 30, 2024 reflects the Corporation’s continued focus on evaluating the level and composition of its syndicated loan portfolio to ensure it continues to provide strong credit quality, profitable use of excess liquidity, and complement the Corporation’s loan growth from its in-market customer relationships.
    • At June 30, 2025, total deposits were $5.5 billion, reflecting a quarterly increase of $7.0 million, or 0.13% (0.51% annualized), compared to March 31, 2025, and a year-over-year increase of $356.2 million, or 6.97%, compared to total deposits measured as of June 30, 2024. The growth in total deposits in the second quarter of 2025 includes the exit/reductions of higher cost municipal deposits totaling approximately $77.7 million. Excluding the impact of these exit/reductions, total deposits increased approximately $84.7 million or 1.55% (6.22% annualized).1 The increase in deposit balances for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and the year-over-year increase in deposit balances as of June 30, 2025, was driven primarily by higher Treasury Management sourced business and municipal deposits, coupled with growth in retail accounts, including time deposits. Additional deposit and liquidity profile details were as follows:
      • At June 30, 2025, the total estimated uninsured deposits for CNB Bank were approximately $1.6 billion, or approximately 28.62% of total CNB Bank deposits. However, when excluding $103.5 million of affiliate company deposits and $509.0 million of pledged-investment collateralized deposits, the adjusted amount and percentage of total estimated uninsured deposits was approximately $982.0 million, or approximately 17.63% of total CNB Bank deposits as of June 30, 2025.
        • The level of adjusted uninsured deposits at June 30, 2025 remained relatively unchanged, compared to the level at March 31, 2025, when the total estimated uninsured deposits for CNB Bank were approximately $1.6 billion, or approximately 27.94% of total CNB Bank deposits. Excluding $101.9 million of affiliate company deposits and $481.2 million of pledged-investment collateralized deposits, the adjusted amount and percentage of total estimated uninsured deposits were approximately $971.1 million, or approximately 17.46% of total CNB Bank deposits as of March 31, 2025.
      • At June 30, 2025, the average deposit balance per account for CNB Bank was approximately $34 thousand, which has remained stable at this level for an extended period.
      • At June 30, 2025, the Corporation had $332.2 million of cash equivalents held in CNB Bank’s interest-bearing deposit account at the Federal Reserve. These excess funds, when combined with collective contingent liquidity resources of $4.6 billion including (i) available borrowing capacity from the Federal Home Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”) and the Federal Reserve, and (ii) available unused commitments from brokered deposit sources and other third-party funding channels, including previously established lines of credit from correspondent banks, resulted in the total available liquidity sources for the Corporation as of June 30, 2025 to be approximately 5.1 times the estimated amount of adjusted uninsured deposit balances discussed above.
    • At June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025, and June 30, 2024, the Corporation had no outstanding short-term borrowings from the FHLB or the Federal Reserve’s Discount Window.
    • At June 30, 2025, the Corporation’s pre-tax net unrealized losses on the combined portfolios of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities totaled $55.6 million, or 8.73% of total shareholders’ equity, compared to $61.7 million, or 9.88% of total shareholders’ equity, at March 31, 2025, and $84.1 million, or 14.33% of total shareholders’ equity, at June 30, 2024. The change in unrealized losses during the first second quarter 2025 was primarily due to changes in the yield curve compared to the first quarter of 2024 and second quarter of 2024, coupled with the Corporation’s scheduled bond maturities, which were all realized at par. Importantly, all regulatory capital ratios for the Corporation would still exceed regulatory “well-capitalized” levels as of June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025, and June 30, 2024 if the net unrealized losses at the respective dates were fully recognized. Additionally, the Corporation continued to maintain excess liquidity at its holding company totaling approximately $102.2 million of liquid funds at June 30, 2025, which more than covers the $55.6 million in combined available-for-sale and held-to-maturity unrealized losses on investments held primarily in its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, as an immediately available source of contingent capital to be down-streamed to CNB Bank, if necessary.
    • Total nonperforming assets were approximately $30.4 million, or 0.48% of total assets, as of June 30, 2025, compared to $56.1 million, or 0.89% of total assets, as of March 31, 2025, and $36.5 million, or 0.62% of total assets, as of June 30, 2024. The $25.7 million decrease in nonperforming assets for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to paydowns to workout-related efforts on two larger nonaccrual loan relationships, and resulting charge-offs on these workouts and other smaller problem loans. The most significant charge-offs were $1.5 million for an owner-occupied commercial real estate relationship (balance of approximately $3.8 million with a specific reserve balance of $1.4 million) and a $1.1 million charge-off of a multifamily commercial real estate loan (balance of approximately $20.3 million with a specific reserve balance of $885 thousand). The $6.2 million decrease in nonperforming assets at June 30, 2025 compared to June 30, 2024 was due to charge-off of the owner-occupied commercial real estate relationship previously discussed, coupled with paydowns to nonaccrual loans. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net loan charge-offs were $3.3 million, or 0.28% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, compared to $1.4 million, or 0.13% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and $2.8 million, or 0.25% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
    • Pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”), a non-GAAP measure, was $21.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and $15.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.1 Excluding merger costs, PPNR was $21.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $17.4 million and $18.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.1 The second quarter 2025 PPNR, excluding merger costs, when compared to the first quarter of 2025, reflected increases in net interest income and non-interest income and a decrease in non-interest expense. The increase in PPNR for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to higher net interest income, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expenses. PPNR was $37.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.1 Excluding merger costs, PPNR was $39.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $35.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.1 The year-to-date 2025 PPNR, excluding merger costs, when compared to the year-to-date 2024 PPNR, reflected increases in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income and an increase in non-interest expense.

    1 This release contains references to certain financial measures that are not defined by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results of operations with prior periods and show the effects of significant gains and charges in the periods presented. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section.

    Michael Peduzzi, President and CEO of both the Corporation and CNB Bank, stated, “Favorably, our second quarter earnings and growth reflected the positive momentum of continued commercial loan growth and demand that we saw at the end of the first quarter with both existing relationships and new prospects. This momentum included realized deposit and relationship growth based in our Treasury Management activities, as evidenced by favorable growth in our noninterest-bearing deposits. These volume increases in our core net interest income components were complemented by increases in our average loan yield and continued decreases in our cost of interest-bearing funds, resulting in a favorable 22 basis point increase in our taxable-equivalent net interest margin compared to the first quarter. We continue to see both a sound loan pipeline and opportunities for further cost-of-fund interest reductions as we enter the third quarter. Importantly, as we release these second quarter earnings, we are ready to close and begin the integration of our acquisition of ESSA Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary, ESSA Bank and Trust (collectively, “ESSA”), with legal merger close scheduled to occur at the end of day on July 23, 2025. The addition of this wonderful franchise and related employee team will add significantly to CNB’s earning-asset base and market footprint, allowing us to deliver great banking and wealth management experiences for clients in the Northeastern Pennsylvania markets served by ESSA. In addition to the increased net interest income earning and growth capabilities we expect from our business combination, we look to continue to focus on tightly managing the Corporation’s core overhead, while realizing economies-of-scale cost efficiencies from the ESSA acquisition, as we look to realize both increased positive operating leverage and further accretion to our net interest margin and overall earnings. We are honored to welcome the clients, employees, and investors from ESSA to our CNB family.”

    Other Balance Sheet Highlights

    • Book value per common share was $27.44 and $27.01 at June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Excluding after-tax merger costs, book value per common share was $27.53, reflecting an increase of $0.45, or 6.67% (annualized), from $27.08 at March 31, 2025 and a year-over-year increase of $2.34, or 9.29%, from $25.19 at June 30, 2024.1 Tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP measure, was $25.35 and $24.91 as of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Excluding after-tax merger costs, tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP measure, was $25.44, reflecting an increase of $0.46, or 7.39% (annualized) from $24.98 as of March 31, 2025 and a year-over-year increase of $2.35, or 10.18%, from $23.09 as of June 30, 2024.1 The increases in book value per common share and tangible book value per common share, excluding after-tax merger costs, from March 31, 2025 to June 30, 2025 were primarily due to a $9.1 million increase in retained earnings, coupled with a $3.0 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss primarily from the after-tax impact of temporary unrealized valuation changes in the Corporation’s available-for-sale investment portfolio for the second quarter of 2025. The increases in book value per common share and tangible book value per common share, excluding after-tax merger costs, from June 30, 2024 to June 30, 2025 were primarily due to a $35.0 million increase in retained earnings over the twelve months ended June 30, 2025 coupled with a $13.9 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss primarily from the after-tax impact of temporary unrealized valuation changes in the Corporation’s available-for-sale investment portfolio for the past twelve months.

    Loan Portfolio Profile

    • As part of its lending policy and risk management activities, the Corporation tracks lending exposure by industry classification and type to determine potential risks associated with industry concentrations, and to identify any concentration risk issues that could lead to additional credit loss exposure. An important and recurring part of this process involves the Corporation’s continued measurement and evaluation of its exposure to the office, hospitality, and multifamily industries within its commercial real estate portfolio. Even given the Corporation’s historically sound underwriting protocols and high credit quality standards for borrowers in the commercial real estate industry segments, the Corporation monitors numerous relevant sensitivity elements, including occupancy, loan-to-value, absorption and cap rates, debt service coverage and covenant compliance, and developer/lessor financial strength both in the project and globally. At June 30, 2025, the Corporation had the following key metrics related to its office, hospitality and multifamily portfolios:
      • Commercial office loans:
        • There were 113 outstanding loans, totaling $111.1 million, or 2.35% of total Corporation loans outstanding;
        • There were no nonaccrual commercial office loans;
        • There were two past-due commercial office loans that totaled $209 thousand, or 0.19% of total commercial office loans outstanding; and
        • The average outstanding balance per commercial office loan was $983 thousand.
      • Commercial hospitality loans:
        • There were 156 outstanding loans, totaling $321.2 million, or 6.79% of total Corporation loans outstanding;
        • There were no nonaccrual commercial hospitality loans;
        • There were no past-due commercial hospitality loans; and
        • The average outstanding balance per commercial hospitality loan was $2.1 million.
      • Commercial multifamily loans:
        • There were 223 outstanding loans, totaling $405.4 million, or 8.57% of total Corporation loans outstanding;
        • There was one nonaccrual and past-due commercial multifamily loan that totaled $199 thousand, or 0.05% of total multifamily loans outstanding; and
        • The average outstanding balance per commercial multifamily loan was $1.8 million.

    The Corporation had no commercial office, hospitality or multifamily loan relationships considered by the banking regulators to be high volatility commercial real estate (“HVCRE”) credits.

    Performance Ratios

    • Annualized return on average equity was 8.83% and 7.52% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Excluding after-tax merger costs, annualized return on average equity was 9.06% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 8.49% and 8.94% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.1 Annualized return on average equity was 8.18% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Excluding after-tax merger costs, annualized return on average equity was 8.78% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 8.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.1
    • Annualized return on average tangible common equity, a non-GAAP measure, was 9.71% and 8.15% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Excluding after-tax merger costs, annualized return on average tangible common equity was 9.98% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 9.32% and 9.93% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.1 Annualized return on average tangible common equity was 8.95% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Excluding after-tax merger costs, annualized return on average tangible common equity was 9.66% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 9.85% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.1
    • The Corporation’s efficiency ratio was 64.73% and 72.07% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively, and 64.08% and 71.28%, respectively, on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure.1 Excluding merger costs, the efficiency ratio on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure, was 63.50%, compared to 68.62% and 65.20% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.1 The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily driven by higher net interest income and non-interest income and decreased non-interest expense, as further discussed below. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by an increase in net interest income, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense. The Corporation’s efficiency ratio was 68.27% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 67.55% on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure.1 Excluding merger costs, the efficiency ratio on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure, was 65.97%, compared to 66.74% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.1 The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by higher net interest income, partially offset by higher non-interest expense.

    Revenue

    • Total revenue (net interest income plus non-interest income) was $61.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase when compared to $56.9 million and $54.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
      • Net interest income was $52.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $48.4 million and $45.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. When comparing the second quarter of 2025 to the first quarter of 2025, the increase in net interest income of $3.8 million, or 7.78% (31.19% annualized), was primarily due to the change in the earning asset mix from interest-bearing deposits to loans, coupled with changes in the yield curve.
      • Net interest margin was 3.60%, 3.38%, and 3.36% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025, and June 30, 2024, respectively. Net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure, was 3.59%, 3.37% and 3.34% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025, and June 30, 2024, respectively.1
        • The yield on earning assets of 5.89% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased 16 basis points from March 31, 2025 and was unchanged compared to June 30, 2024. The increase in yield in the second quarter of 2025 compared to quarter ended March 31, 2025 was attributable to quarter-over-quarter increases in the yield on both the loan and securities portfolios.
        • The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.88% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of 5 basis points from March 31, 2025 and a 29 basis points from June 30, 2024. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities is primarily the result of the Corporation’s targeted interest-bearing deposit rate decreases in response to the Federal Reserve rate decreases since mid-September 2024.
    • Total revenue was $118.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $108.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
      • Net interest income was $100.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $90.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. When comparing the six months ended June 30, 2025 to the six months ended June 30, 2024, the increase in net interest income of $9.7 million, or 10.65% (21.37% annualized), was due to investment and loan growth.
      • Net interest margin was 3.49% and 3.38% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure, was 3.48% and 3.36% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.1
        • The yield on earning assets of 5.81% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased 4 basis points from June 30, 2024. The decrease in yield compared to June 30, 2024 was attributable to lower loan yields on variable and floating-rate loans following the three Federal Reserve rate decreases totaling 100 basis points since mid-September 2024.
        • The cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 2.90% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased 20 basis points from June 30, 2024, primarily the result of the Corporation’s targeted interest-bearing deposit rate decreases in response to the Federal Reserve rate decreases since mid-September 2024.
    • Total non-interest income was $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $8.5 million and $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily attributable to an increase in wealth and asset management fees, bank owned life insurance revenue (death benefit), and an improvement in unrealized gains on equity securities, partially offset by lower pass-through income from small business investment companies (“SBICs”). The increase year-over-year in non-interest income was primarily due to increases in bank owned life insurance (death benefit) and an improvement in unrealized gains on equity securities, partially offset by lower other charges and fees, coupled with lower pass-through income from SBICs.
    • Total non-interest income was $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $17.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to lower other charges and fees, coupled with lower pass-through income from SBICs, partially offset by an increase in unrealized gains on equity securities, bank owned life insurance revenue (death benefit) and card processing and interchange income.

    Non-Interest Expense

    • For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025 total non-interest expense was $39.6 million and $41.0 million, respectively. Excluding merger costs, total non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $39.3 million, compared to $39.5 million and $36.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.1 Excluding merger costs, the decrease of $249 thousand, or 0.63%, from the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily driven by a decrease in salaries and benefits, due to a decrease in staffing levels, coupled with retirement plan contribution accruals. The Corporation tightly managed its core back-office staffing levels in anticipation of the impact of staffing additions from the planned ESSA acquisition. Excluding merger costs, the $3.3 million increase in non-interest expense compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily driven by higher salaries and benefits, reflecting increased incentive compensation accruals and retirement plan contribution accruals. Additionally, occupancy expense increased, primarily due to higher rent expense related to three additional full-service office locations, coupled with an increase in card processing and interchange expenses and other non-interest expenses (timing of business development expenses). The increase in card processing and interchange expenses related to the changes made by the Corporation to its cardholder rewards program during the second quarter 2024.
    • For the six months ended June 30, 2025 total non-interest expense was $80.7 million. Excluding merger costs, total non-interest expense was $78.8 million, compared to $73.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Excluding merger costs, the increase of $5.4 million, or 7.30%, from the six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily driven by higher salaries and benefits, reflecting increased base salaries for inflationary annual increases, higher incentive compensation accruals, and increased retirement plan contribution accruals. Additionally, occupancy expense increased, primarily due to higher rent expense related to three additional full-service office locations, coupled with an increase in card processing and interchange expenses and other non-interest expenses (timing of business development expenses).

    Income Taxes

    • Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $3.3 million, representing a 19.10% effective tax rate, compared to $2.9 million, representing a 19.96% effective tax rate, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and $3.0 million, representing an 19.03% effective tax rate, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The effective tax rate for the first and second quarters of 2025 was impacted by non-deductible merger costs of $1.3 million and $357 thousand, respectively. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $6.2 million, representing a 19.49% effective tax rate, compared to $5.9 million, representing a 18.70% effective tax rate, for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

    Asset Quality

    • Total nonperforming assets were approximately $30.4 million, or 0.48% of total assets, as of June 30, 2025, compared to $56.1 million, or 0.89% of total assets, as of March 31, 2025, and $36.5 million, or 0.62% of total assets, as of June 30, 2024, as discussed in more detail above.
    • The allowance for credit losses measured as a percentage of total loans was 1.02% as of June 30, 2025, compared to 1.03% as of as of March 31, 2025, and 1.02% as of June 30, 2024. In addition, the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonaccrual loans was 169.52% as of June 30, 2025, compared to 87.57% and 130.88% as of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The change in the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonaccrual loans was primarily attributable to the levels of nonperforming assets, as discussed in more detail above.
    • The provision for credit losses was $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1.6 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The $2.8 million and $1.7 million increases in the provision expense for the second quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2025 and second quarter 2024, respectively, were primarily a result of increased net loan charge-offs, as discussed in more detail above, coupled with higher loan portfolio growth. The provision for credit losses was $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The $2.0 million increase in the provision expense for the first six months of 2025 compared to the first six months of 2024 was primarily a result of higher loan portfolio growth for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, coupled with increased net loan charge-offs, as discussed above.
    • As discussed in more detail above, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, net loan charge-offs were $3.3 million, or 0.28% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, compared to $1.4 million, or 0.13% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and $2.8 million, or 0.25% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
    • For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net loan charge-offs were $4.7 million, or 0.21% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, compared to $4.1 million, or 0.19% (annualized) of average total loans and loans held for sale, during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

    Capital

    • As of June 30, 2025, the Corporation’s total shareholders’ equity was $637.3 million, representing an increase of $12.8 million, or 2.05% (8.20% annualized), from March 31, 2025, and an increase of $50.6 million, or 8.62%, from June 30, 2024. The changes resulted from an increase in the Corporation’s retained earnings (net income, partially offset by the common and preferred stock dividends paid) and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss primarily from the after-tax impact of temporary unrealized valuation changes in the Corporation’s available-for-sale investment portfolio.
    • Regulatory capital ratios for the Corporation continue to exceed regulatory “well-capitalized” levels as of June 30, 2025, consistent with prior periods.
    • As of June 30, 2025, the Corporation’s ratio of common shareholders’ equity to total assets was 9.17% compared to 9.00% at March 31, 2025 and 8.99% at June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Corporation’s ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, a non-GAAP measure, was 8.53% and 8.36%, respectively. Excluding merger costs, the Corporation’s ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, a non-GAAP measure, as of June 30, 2025 was 8.56% compared to 8.38% at March 31, 2025 and 8.30% at June 30, 2024.1 The increase in the June 30, 2025 ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets compared to March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024 was primarily the result of a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, coupled with an increase in retained earnings, as discussed above.1

    Consolidated Financial Data Notes:          
    (1) Management uses non-GAAP financial information in its analysis of the Corporation’s performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results of operations with prior periods and show the effects of significant gains and charges in the periods presented. The Corporation’s management believes that investors may use these non-GAAP measures to analyze the Corporation’s financial performance without the impact of unusual items or events that may obscure trends in the Corporation’s underlying performance. This non-GAAP data should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. Limitations associated with non-GAAP financial measures include the risks that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items included in these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided below (dollars in thousands, except per share data).
    (2) Capital ratios as of June 30, 2025 are estimated pending final regulatory filings.

  • MIL-OSI: Western New England Bancorp, Inc. Reports Results for Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    WESTFIELD, Mass., July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Western New England Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company” or “WNEB”) (NasdaqGS: WNEB), the holding company for Westfield Bank (the “Bank”), announced today the unaudited results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported net income of $4.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. On a linked quarter basis, net income was $4.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $2.3 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net income was $6.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.5 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

    The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share on the Company’s common stock. The dividend will be payable on or about August 20, 2025 to shareholders of record on August 6, 2025.

    James C. Hagan, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to report solid earnings for the second quarter of 2025, along with strong overall loan growth and core deposit growth. Core deposits increased $81.4 million, or 5.2%, since year-end, which will be beneficial as we continue to lower deposit costs and reduce our reliance on time deposits. We are also pleased to report that our commercial and industrial loan portfolio increased $22.8 million, or 10.8%, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, and our residential real estate portfolio increased $29.7 million, or 3.8%, during the same period. Growth in commercial and industrial loans is a strategic priority for the Company as we remain focused on meeting the needs of our business and commercial customers.

    We believe our balance sheet structure will continue to have a positive impact on earnings in the current interest rate environment. Net interest income increased $2.1 million, or 13.6%, from the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the three months ended June 30, 2025, while the net interest margin increased 31 basis points from 2.49% to 2.80% during the same period. Our loan growth and disciplined approach to managing funding costs have allowed us to expand our net interest margin as we continue to decrease the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and our reliance on time deposits. Our asset quality remains solid, with nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.21%, and total delinquency as a percentage of total loans of 0.18%.”

    Hagan concluded, “Our capital position continues to remain strong, and the Company is considered to be well-capitalized as defined by the regulators. We remain disciplined in our capital management strategies and during the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 497,318 shares of common stock with an average price per share of $9.31. We continue to believe that buying back shares, at current prices, represents a prudent use of the Company’s capital. On April 22, 2025, we announced a new repurchase plan (the “2025 Plan”) which commenced upon the completion of the 2024 Repurchase Plan (the “2024 Plan”). On June 3, 2025, we announced the completion of the 2024 Plan, under which the Company repurchased a total of 1.0 million shares at an average price per share of $8.79. We are pleased with our second quarter results and are committed to delivering long-term value to shareholders through capital management strategies, which include continued loan growth, share repurchases and quarterly cash dividends.”

    Key Highlights:

    Loans and Deposits

    Total gross loans increased $22.1 million, or 1.1%, from $2.1 billion, or 77.9% of total assets, at December 31, 2024 to $2.1 billion, or 77.1% of total assets, at June 30, 2025. The increase in total gross loans was primarily driven by an increase in residential real estate loans, including home equity loans, of $29.7 million, or 3.8%, and an increase in commercial and industrial loans of $22.8 million, or 10.8%. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in commercial real estate loans of $29.5 million, or 2.7%, and a decrease in consumer loans of $879,000, or 20.0%.

    Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

    On a sequential quarter basis, net interest income, our primary driver of revenues, increased $2.1 million, or 13.6%, to $17.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in interest income of $1.2 million, or 4.1%, and a decrease in interest expense of $933,000, or 7.2%. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $425,000 in prepayment penalties related to payoffs in the commercial portfolio. The $933,000, or 7.2%, decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a decrease in average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits during the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

    The net interest margin was 2.80% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2.49% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.82% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2.51% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The increase in the net interest margin was primarily due to an increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets and a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

    The average yield on interest-earning assets, without the impact of tax-equivalent adjustments, increased 13 basis points from 4.56%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to 4.69% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The average loan yield, without the impact of tax-equivalent adjustments, increased 16 basis points from 4.89%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, to 5.05% for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

As of June 30, 2025, the relationship has been paid in full and the Company does not expect to charge-off or recover any additional funds from the borrower. The provision for credit losses was determined by a number of factors: the continued strong credit performance of the Company’s loan portfolio, changes in the loan portfolio mix and Management’s consideration of existing economic conditions and the economic outlook from the Federal Reserve’s actions to control inflation. Management continues to monitor macroeconomic variables related to increasing interest rates, tariffs, inflation and concerns of an economic downturn, and believes it is appropriately reserved for the current economic environment.

FDIC insurance expense decreased $32,000, or 7.4%, and software related expenses decreased $14,000, or 2.1%.

    For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and the three months ended March 31, 2025, the efficiency ratio was 74.4% and 83.0%, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, the adjusted efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 75.3% compared to 83.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $1.1 million, or 6.8%, due to an increase in deferred compensation expense to reflect updated performance award estimates. Advertising expense increased $184,000, or 26.7%, data processing increased $107,000, or 6.3%, FDIC insurance expense increased $97,000, or 13.2%, occupancy expense increased $96,000, or 3.7%, debit card and ATM processing fees increased $56,000, or 4.7%, software related expenses increased $39,000, or 3.1%, professional fees increased $19,000, or 1.7%, furniture and equipment expense increased $11,000, or 1.1%, and other non-interest expense increased $36,000, or 1.4%.

    For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the efficiency ratio was 78.4%, compared to 80.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the adjusted efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, was 78.9%, compared to 82.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decreases in the efficiency ratio and the adjusted efficiency ratio were driven by higher revenues, defined as the sum of net interest income and non-interest income, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The adjusted efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure. See pages 19-21 for the related efficiency ratio calculation and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.

    Income Tax Provision

    Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $2.1 million, representing an effective tax rate of 23.2%, compared to $1.6 million, representing an effective tax rate of 19.8%, for six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is due to higher projected pre-tax income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.

    Balance Sheet

    At June 30, 2025, total assets were $2.7 billion, an increase of $58.1 million, or 2.2%, from December 31, 2024. The increase in total assets was primarily due to an increase in total gross loans of $22.1 million, or 1.1%, an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $26.9 million, or 40.4%, and an increase in investment securities of $10.8 million, or 2.9%.

    Investments

    At June 30, 2025, the investment securities portfolio totaled $376.9 million, or 13.9% of total assets, compared to $366.1 million, or 13.8% of total assets, at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio, recorded at fair market value, increased $18.1 million, or 11.3%, from $160.7 million at December 31, 2024 to $178.8 million. The held-to-maturity securities portfolio, recorded at amortized cost, decreased $7.4 million, or 3.6%, from $205.0 million at December 31, 2024 to $197.7 million at June 30, 2025.

    At June 30, 2025, the Company reported unrealized losses on the available-for-sale securities portfolio of $26.6 million, or 12.9% of the amortized cost basis of the available-for-sale securities portfolio, compared to unrealized losses of $31.2 million, or 16.2% of the amortized cost basis of the available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2024. At June 30, 2025, the Company reported unrealized losses on the held-to-maturity securities portfolio of $35.4 million, or 17.8% of the amortized cost basis of the held-to-maturity securities portfolio, compared to $39.4 million, or 19.2% of the amortized cost basis of the held-to-maturity securities portfolio at December 31, 2024.

    The securities in which the Company may invest are limited by regulation. Federally chartered savings banks have authority to invest in various types of assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of various government-sponsored enterprises, mortgage-backed securities, certain certificates of deposit of insured financial institutions, repurchase agreements, overnight and short-term loans to other banks, corporate debt instruments and marketable equity securities. The securities, with the exception of $8.7 million in corporate bonds, are issued by the United States government or government-sponsored enterprises and are therefore either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed as to the timely payment of contractual principal and interest. These positions are deemed to have no credit impairment, therefore, the disclosed unrealized losses with the securities portfolio relate primarily to changes in prevailing interest rates. In all cases, price improvement in future periods will be realized as the issuances approach maturity.

    Management regularly reviews the portfolio for securities in an unrealized loss position. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not record any credit impairment charges on its securities portfolio and attributed the unrealized losses primarily due to fluctuations in general interest rates or changes in expected prepayments and not due to credit quality. The primary objective of the Company’s investment portfolio is to provide liquidity and to secure municipal deposit accounts while preserving the safety of principal. The available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios are both eligible for pledging to the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) as collateral for borrowings. The portfolios are comprised of high-credit quality investments and both portfolios generated cash flows monthly from interest, principal amortization and payoffs, which support’s the Bank’s objective to provide liquidity.

    Total Loans

    Total gross loans increased $22.1 million, or 1.1%, from $2.1 billion, or 77.9% of total assets, at December 31, 2024 to $2.1 billion, or 77.1% of total assets, at June 30, 2025. The increase in total gross loans was primarily driven by an increase in residential real estate loans, including home equity loans, of $29.7 million, or 3.8%, and an increase in commercial and industrial loans of $22.8 million, or 10.8%. The increase in commercial and industrial loans was partially due to an increase in line of credit utilization, from 21.9% at December 31, 2024 to 26.1% at June 30, 2025. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in commercial real estate loans of $29.5 million, or 2.7%, and a decrease in consumer loans of $879,000, or 20.0%.

    Credit Quality

    Management continues to closely monitor the loan portfolio for any signs of deterioration in borrowers’ financial condition and also in light of speculation that commercial real estate values may deteriorate as the market continues to adjust to higher vacancies and interest rates. We continue to proactively take steps to mitigate risk in our loan portfolio.

Of the $1.0 billion, $859.2 million, or 82.1%, was categorized as non-owner occupied commercial real estate and represented 316.9% of the Bank’s total risk-based capital. More details on the diversification of the loan portfolio are available in the supplementary earnings presentation.

Brokered time deposits, which are included in time deposits, totaled $1.7 million at December 31, 2024. The Company did not have brokered time deposits at June 30, 2025. We continue our disciplined and focused approach to core relationship management and customer outreach to meet funding requirements and liquidity needs, with an emphasis on retaining a long-term core customer relationship base by competing for and retaining deposits in our local market.

At June 30, 2025, total shares outstanding were 20,494,501. The Company’s regulatory capital ratios continue to be strong and in excess of regulatory minimum requirements to be considered well-capitalized as defined by regulators and internal Company targets.

    Dividends

    Although the Company has historically paid quarterly dividends on its common stock and currently intends to continue to pay such dividends, the Company’s ability to pay such dividends depends on a number of factors, including restrictions under federal laws and regulations on the Company’s ability to pay dividends, and as a result, there can be no assurance that dividends will continue to be paid in the future.

  • MIL-Evening Report: Do countries have a duty to prevent climate harm? The world’s highest court is about to answer this crucial question

    Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Nathan Cooper, Associate Professor of Law, University of Waikato

    The International Court of Justice (ICJ) will issue a highly anticipated advisory opinion overnight to clarify state obligations related to climate change.

    It will answer two urgent questions: what are the obligations of states under international law to protect the climate and environment from greenhouse gas emissions, and what are the legal consequences for states that have caused significant harm to Earth’s atmosphere and environment?

    ICJ advisory opinions are not legally binding. But coming from the world’s highest court, they provide an authoritative opinion on serious issues that can be highly persuasive.

    This advisory opinion marks the culmination of a campaign that began in 2019 when students and youth organisations in Vanuatu – one of the most vulnerable nations to climate-related impacts – persuaded their government to seek clarification on what states should be doing to protect them.

    Led by Vanuatu and co-sponsored by 132 member states, including New Zealand and Australia, the United Nations General Assembly formally requested the advisory opinion in March 2023.

    More than two years of public consultation and deliberation ensued, leading to this week’s announcement.

    What to expect

    Looking at the specific questions to be addressed, at least three aspects stand out.

    First, the sources and areas of international law under scrutiny are not confined to the UN’s climate change framework. This invites the ICJ to consider a broad range of law – including trans-boundary environmental law, human rights law, international investment law, humanitarian law, trade law and beyond – and to draw on both treaty-related obligations and customary international law.

    Such an encyclopaedic examination could produce a complex and integrated opinion on states’ obligations to protect the environment and climate system.

    Second, the opinion will address what obligations exist, not just to those present today, but to future generations. This follows acknowledgement of the so-called “intertemporal characteristics” of climate change in recent climate-related court decisions and the need to respond effectively to both the current climate crisis and its likely ongoing consequences.

    Third, the opinion won’t just address what obligations states have, but also what the consequences should be for nations:

    where they, by their acts and omissions have caused significant harm to the climate system and other parts of the environment.

    Addressing consequences as well as obligations should cause states to pay closer attention and make the ICJ’s advisory more relevant to domestic climate litigation and policy discussions.

    Global judicial direction

    Two recent court findings may offer clues as to the potential scope of the ICJ’s findings.

    Earlier this month, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights published its own advisory opinion on state obligations in response to climate change.

    Explicitly connecting fundamental human rights with a healthy ecosystem, this opinion affirmed states have an imperative duty to prevent irreversible harm to the climate system. Moreover, the duty to safeguard the common ecosystem must be understood as a fundamental principle of international law to which states must adhere.

    Meanwhile last week, an Australian federal court dismissed a landmark climate case, determining that the Australian government does not owe a duty of care to Torres Strait Islanders to protect them from the consequences of climate change.

    The court accepted the claimants face significant loss and damage from climate impacts and that previous Australian government policies on greenhouse gas emissions were not aligned with the best science to limit climate change. But it nevertheless determined that “matters of high or core government policy” are not subject to common law duties of care.

    Whether the ICJ will complement the Inter-American court’s bold approach or opt for a more constrained and conservative response is not certain. But now is the time for clear and ambitious judicial direction with global scope.

    Implications for New Zealand

    Aotearoa New Zealand aspires to climate leadership through its Climate Change Response (Zero Carbon) Amendment Act 2019. This set 2050 targets of reducing emissions of long-lived greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide) to net zero, and biogenic methane by 25-47%.

    However, actions to date are likely insufficient to meet this target. Transport emissions continue to rise and agriculture – responsible for nearly half of the country’s emissions – is lightly regulated.

    Although the government plans to double renewable energy by 2050, it is also in the process of lifting a 2018 ban on offshore gas exploration and has pledged $200 million to co-invest in the development of new fields.

    Critics also point out the government has made little progress towards its promise to install 10,000 EV charging stations by 2030 while axing a clean-investment fund.

    Although a final decision is yet to be made, the government is also considering to lower the target for cuts to methane emissions from livestock, against advice from the Climate Change Commission.

    With the next global climate summit coming up in November, the ICJ opinion may offer timely encouragement for states to reconsider their emissions targets and the ambition of climate policies.

    Most countries have yet to submit their latest emissions reduction pledges (known as nationally determined contributions) under the Paris Agreement. New Zealand has made its pledge, but it has been described as “underwhelming”. This may present a chance to adjust ambition upwards.

    If the ICJ affirms that states have binding obligations to prevent climate harm, including trans-boundary impacts, New Zealand’s climate change policies and progress to date could face increased legal scrutiny.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Five Defendants Sentenced in Connection with Operating One of the Largest Illegal Television Show Streaming Services in the United States

    Source: US State of North Dakota

    Yesterday, the final judgments were issued for five Nevada men, including a citizen of Germany, who were sentenced on May 29 and 30 to terms of up to 84 months in prison for running Jetflicks, one of the largest illegal television streaming services in the United States.

    “The defendants operated Jetflicks, an illegal paid streaming service that made available more television episodes than any licensed streaming service on the market,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew R. Galeotti of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “This scheme generated millions of dollars in criminal profits, and hurt thousands of U.S. companies and individuals who owned the copyrights to these shows but never received a penny in compensation from Jetflicks. The sentences issued in this case demonstrate the Criminal Division’s commitment to protect American creativity and to ensure that large-scale infringers are brought to justice and punished for their crimes.”

    “Digital crimes are not victimless crimes,” said U.S. Attorney Sigal Chattah for the District of Nevada. “The copyright owners lost millions of dollars as a result of the illegal paid streaming service. These sentences underscore our joint commitment with the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section and FBI to deter and disrupt intellectual property crime via thorough investigation and prosecution of those who violate federal intellectual property laws.”

    “By building and running one of the largest unauthorized streaming services in the U.S., these individuals not only stole from content creators and legitimate streaming services, they undermined the integrity of our economy and the rule of law,” said Assistant Director Jose A. Perez of the FBI Criminal Investigative Division. “These sentencings are a reminder that illegal actions have consequences. The FBI and our partners are unwavering in our commitment to protect intellectual property rights and hold criminals accountable.”

    After a 14-day trial that ended in June 2024, a federal jury in the District of Nevada convicted Kristopher Lee Dallmann, 42; Peter H. Huber, 67; Jared Edward Jaurequi, also known as Jared Edwards, 44; Felipe Garcia, 43; and Douglas M. Courson, 65, all of Las Vegas, of conspiracy to commit copyright infringement. The jury also convicted Dallmann of criminal copyright infringement by distribution, criminal copyright infringement by public performance, and money laundering. Subsequently, the court sentenced Dallmann to 84 months in prison; Huber to 18 months in prison; Jaurequi to time served (almost 5 months in prison), 180 days of home confinement, and 500 hours of community service; Garcia to three years probation with 49 days in prison and 1000 hours of community service; and Courson to three years probation with 48 days in prison.

    According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, the defendants ran a site called Jetflicks, an online subscription-based service headquartered in Las Vegas, that permitted users to stream and at times download copyrighted television programs without the permission of the relevant copyright owners. At one point, Jetflicks claimed to have 183,285 different television episodes, significantly more than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, Amazon Prime, or any other licensed streaming service. This was the largest internet piracy case — as measured by the estimated total infringement amount and total number of infringements — ever to go to trial as well as the first illegal streaming case ever to go to trial. The defendants’ conduct harmed every major copyright owner of a television program in the United States. Copyright owners lost millions of dollars from the operation.

    Evidence presented at trial showed that the defendants used automated software and computer scripts that ran constantly to scour sites around the world hosting pirated content. The software and scripts would download, process, and store illegal content, and then make it immediately available on servers in the United States and Canada to tens of thousands of paid subscribers located throughout the United States for streaming and/or downloading. The defendants often delivered episodes to subscribers the day after the shows originally aired on television. The service was not only available to subscribers over the internet but specifically designed to work on many different types of devices, platforms, and software.

    Each defendant performed at least one and often multiple roles at Jetflicks including management, computer programming and coding, design of the website, applications, and customer interface, technical assistance, content acquisition, subscriptions and revenue, and customer support.

    Dallmann reaped millions of dollars in profit from the operation. The government conservatively estimated the value of the copyright infringement in the case at $37.5 million. This included the approximate retail value of the defendants’ reproduction of infringing works to create the Jetflicks inventory as well as the approximate retail value of the streams of pirated television episodes that the defendants provided to subscribers.

    The five defendants sentenced were among eight defendants originally indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia in connection with operating Jetflicks. In addition to the defendants just sentenced in Nevada, defendant Darryl Polo previously pleaded guilty in the Eastern District of Virginia to four counts of criminal copyright infringement and one count of money laundering for his involvement with Jetflicks as well as an equally large illegal streaming site he ran called iStreamItAll. Similarly, defendant Luis Villarino also previously pleaded guilty in the Eastern District of Virginia to conspiracy to commit criminal copyright infringement. In May 2021, a judge in the U.S. District Court for the District of Virginia sentenced Polo and Villarino to, respectively, 57 months in prison and 12 months and a day in prison.

    After the case was transferred to the District of Nevada for trial, defendant Yoany Vaillant was tried separately from the other five remaining defendants. In November 2024, after an eight-day trial, a federal jury convicted Vaillant of conspiracy to commit criminal copyright infringement. Vaillant is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 4.

    The FBI Washington Field Office investigated the case, with assistance from the FBI Las Vegas Field Office. 

    Senior Counsel Matthew A. Lamberti, Trial Attorney Michael Christin, and Acting Deputy Chief Christopher S. Merriam of the Criminal Division’s Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS) and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jessica Oliva and Edward G. Veronda for the District of Nevada are prosecuting the case.

    VIDEO: Opening Remarks

    Below are Subcommittee Chairman Burlison’s prepared remarks:

    A new age for nuclear power has started—led by President Trump’s four recent executive orders on nuclear energy and Congressional action to reinvigorate the nuclear industry. 

    President Trump’s orders call for permitting reform and the reduction of overburdensome regulations from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which has become a slow-moving, bureaucratic mess, constraining and delaying expansion of U.S. nuclear power deployment for decades.  

    Under President Trump’s orders, the NRC must rule on reactor license applications within 18 months—a dramatic shift from the ambiguous, open-ended timelines of the past. 

    President Trump’s orders also promote expanding domestic mining, enrichment of uranium and other reactor fuels, and nuclear-fuel recycling.  

    These ground-breaking actions will power United States energy independence and provide a secure and reliable U.S. electrical grid—something we must obtain as the AI revolution places surging demands on our. electrical capacity.  

    At the heart of nuclear power’s resurgence are two key innovations: small and micro modular reactors.  

    These new reactors promise the U.S. will have a strong answer to future energy demands.  

    They will be more capital-effective, more efficient, and more scalable for both on and off-grid sites here in the United States.  

    Moreover, they offer enhanced safety features, eliminate the risk of meltdowns, and can use recycled fuel from other reactors.  

    The Department of Energy predicts that 12 percent of electricity consumption in the United States in 2028 will come from data centers, which require constant and consistent electricity.  

    And the Energy Information Agency recently projected that U.S. power consumption will reach all-time highs this year and next, in part due to AI and data-center demand.

    Nuclear power is the answer to data centers’ growing appetite for stable energy.

    I recently toured two prototype micro modular reactors being developed here in the United States.  

    I can confidently say the technology is ready—what is holding nuclear back is the onerous and capital-intensive regulatory permitting burden placed on nuclear energy expansion. 

    Under the Trump Administration, the federal government is waking up to the roadblock that nuclear power has faced for decades.

    The federal government, not technology, has been in the way.  

    Congress should and will be watching for the fruits of the Administration’s actions, eager to cooperate in achieving lasting change.  

    Nuclear power in the age of SMRs and MMRs isn’t just safe—it’s essential.  

    It is our best shot at securing clean, reliable, American energy independence.

    As part of the international momentum generated under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him, in support of Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara and the Autonomy Plan, the Portuguese Republic expresses “its full support for the Moroccan autonomy initiative as the most serious, credible and constructive basis to settle this dispute.”

    This position was expressed in the Joint Statement signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Mr. Nasser Bourita, and the Portuguese Minister of State and Foreign Affairs, Paulo Rangel, following their meeting on Tuesday in Lisbon.

    Portugal recognizes the importance of this issue for Morocco, as well as the serious and credible efforts undertaken by the Kingdom within the framework of the United Nations to achieve a just, lasting, and mutually acceptable political solution, the Joint statement notes.

    The two ministers reaffirmed their support for UN Security Council Resolution 2756, which emphasizes the role and responsibility of the parties in seeking a realistic, pragmatic and lasting political solution based on compromise, the document adds.

    Through its new stance, Portugal sends a clear message reflecting its adherence to the international consensus around Morocco’s autonomy Plan, in line with the strong international dynamic driven by His Majesty King Mohammed VI.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Ethiopia: Ministry of Finance Launches First-Ever Issuance Calendar for Treasury (T)-Bills

    Source: APO


    .

    As part of ongoing efforts to reform and modernize public finance management and to foster market-based deficit financing through domestic-currency Treasury bills and bonds market, the Ministry of Finance has published its first three-month Treasury-bill issuance calendar.

    This milestone supports the government’s “reset, reform, and relaunch” agenda, deepening the domestic debt market and improving transparency. By giving market participants clear visibility of upcoming auctions, the calendar enhances predictability and builds investor confidence. It also underscores the government’s commitment to borrow domestically in ways that limit inflation and safeguard macroeconomic stability.

    The calendar embodies the shift toward a genuinely market-based approach to Treasury-bill issuance. This compliments the opening of the secondary market and the introduction of more competitive retail auctions open to a wider range of investors through the Ethiopian Securities Exchange.

    The Ministry of Finance will continue to build on this momentum by promoting openness, broadening investor participation, and aligning Ethiopia’s debt-management practices with international best practice.
