11. Regulatory Capital Requirements

 

Banks and bank holding companies, such as the Company, are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. Management believed that as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject at that time.

 

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required.

 

Banking organizations are required to maintain minimum capital levels as follows: a ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital equal to 4.5% of risk-weighted assets , a ratio of Tier 1 capital equal to 6.0% of risk-weighted assets, a ratio of total capital equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets, and a leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to total quarterly average assets equal to 4.0% in all circumstances.

 

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action then in effect. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

 

Regulations include a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% that is added to these minimum requirements for capital adequacy purposes. A banking organization with a conservation buffer of less than the required amount is subject to limitations on capital distributions, including the amount of dividends that it may pay without prior regulatory approval, stock repurchases and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the ratios for the Company and the Bank were sufficient to meet the conservation buffer.

 

 

The following is a comparison of the Company’s regulatory capital ratios to minimum capital ratio requirements as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
