Curtis Griffith, South Plains’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We delivered strong third quarter results highlighted by solid earnings growth as we continued to experience net interest income expansion supported by our low cost, community-based deposit franchise. The credit quality of our loan portfolio also continued to improve as did our return on average assets. Our results demonstrate the strong foundation that we have purposefully built. We have added exceptional talent across the Bank while also making the necessary investments in our technology platform that positions South Plains to efficiently scale our operations as we grow. I believe the Bank is firmly positioned to accelerate our asset growth through both organic expansion and accretive M&A opportunities. While we have been experiencing higher than normal paydowns which has proved a headwind to loan growth, we expect an acceleration in growth next year aided by the expansion of our lending platform where we expect to further increase our lending team by up to 20%. We continue to engage in discussions with potential target banks in our core markets although we are only interested in acquiring a bank that fits our conservative nature and overall culture, and meets our strict criteria for a deal. As a result, we will only do a deal that makes sense for the Bank and our shareholders.”
Results of Operations, Quarter Ended September 30, 2025
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $43.0 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $42.5 million for the second quarter of 2025 and $37.3 million for the third quarter of 2024. Net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 4.05% for the third quarter of 2025, compared to 4.07% for the second quarter of 2025 and 3.65% for the third quarter of 2024. The average yield on loans was 6.92% for the third quarter of 2025, compared to 6.99% for the second quarter of 2025 and 6.68% for the third quarter of 2024. The average cost of deposits was 210 basis points for the third quarter of 2025, which is 4 basis points lower than the second quarter of 2025 and 37 basis points lower than the third quarter of 2024. Loan interest income for the third quarter of 2025 included $640 thousand in interest and fees recognized related to the resolution of credit workouts. This amount positively impacted the net interest margin by 6 basis points and the loan yield by 8 basis points during the third quarter of 2025. There was a recovery of $1.7 million in interest during the second quarter of 2025, related to the full repayment of a loan that had previously been on nonaccrual. This recovery positively impacted the net interest margin by 17 basis points and the loan yield by 23 basis points during the second quarter of 2025.
Interest income was $64.5 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $64.1 million for the second quarter of 2025 and $61.6 million for the third quarter of 2024. Interest income increased $385 thousand in the third quarter of 2025 from the second quarter of 2025, which was primarily comprised of an increase of $343 thousand in interest income on other earning assets. The increase in interest income on other earning assets was mainly due to an increase of $32.8 million in average other interest-earning assets during the third quarter of 2025. Interest income increased $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily due to the $640 thousand of loan interest and fees and an increase of average loans of $23.6 million and higher loan interest rates during the period, resulting in growth of $2.4 million in loan interest income.
Interest expense was $21.5 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $21.6 million for the second quarter of 2025 and $24.3 million for the third quarter of 2024. Interest expense decreased $131 thousand compared to the second quarter of 2025 and decreased $2.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2024. The $2.8 million decrease was primarily a result of a 49 basis point decline in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by an increase of $71.5 million in average interest-bearing deposits in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024.
Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense
Noninterest income was $11.2 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $12.2 million for the second quarter of 2025 and $10.6 million for the third quarter of 2024. The decrease from the second quarter of 2025 was primarily due to a decrease of $1.0 million in mortgage banking revenues, mainly as a result of the change in the fair value adjustment of the mortgage servicing rights assets – a write-down of $925 thousand in the third quarter of 2025 compared to a write-down of $156 thousand in the second quarter of 2025 – as interest rates that affect the value declined in the third quarter of 2025. The increase in noninterest income for the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024 was primarily due to an increase of $685 thousand in mortgage banking revenues, mainly as a result of the change in the fair value adjustment of the mortgage servicing rights assets – a write-down of $925 thousand in the third quarter of 2025 compared to a write-down of $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2024 – as interest rates that affect the value declined in the third quarter of 2025.
Noninterest expense was $33.0 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $33.5 million for the second quarter of 2025 and $33.1 million for the third quarter of 2024. The $519 thousand decrease from the second quarter of 2025 was largely the result of a decrease of $581 thousand in professional service expenses related primarily to consulting on technology projects and initiatives. The $104 thousand decrease in noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024 was largely the result of a decrease in professional service expenses of $514 thousand and a decrease of $258 thousand in other noninterest expenses, partially offset by an increase of $616 thousand in personnel expenses, mainly a result of annual salary adjustments. The $514 thousand decrease in professional service expense was mainly due to higher legal expense as well as consulting related to technology projects in the third quarter of 2024.
Loan Portfolio and Composition
Loans held for investment were $3.05 billion as of September 30, 2025, compared to $3.10 billion as of June 30, 2025 and $3.04 billion as of September 30, 2024. The decrease of $45.5 million, or 1.5%, during the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the second quarter of 2025 occurred primarily as a result of a decrease of $46.5 million in multi-family property loans mainly due to the payoff of two loans totaling $39.6 million, partially offset by organic loan growth. As of September 30, 2025, loans held for investment were essentially unchanged as compared to September 30, 2024.
Deposits and Borrowings
Deposits totaled $3.88 billion as of September 30, 2025, compared to $3.74 billion as of June 30, 2025 and $3.72 billion as of September 30, 2024. Deposits increased by $142.2 million, or 3.8%, in the third quarter of 2025 from June 30, 2025. Deposits increased by $161.8 million, or 4.3%, at September 30, 2025 as compared to September 30, 2024. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $1.05 billion as of September 30, 2025, compared to $998.8 million as of June 30, 2025 and $998.5 million as of September 30, 2024. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 27.0% of total deposits as of September 30, 2025. The quarterly and year-over-year changes in total deposits were due to organic growth in both retail and commercial deposits.
On September 30, 2025, the Company redeemed $50 million in subordinated debt. The subordinated debt was at the end of the initial five-year fixed rate period. After the expiration of the fixed rate period, the subordinated debt would have reset quarterly at a higher variable interest rate as well as being subject to a reduction in regulatory capital treatment.
Asset Quality
The Company recorded a provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2025 of $500 thousand, compared to $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2025 and $495 thousand in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease in provision for the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the second quarter of 2025 was largely attributable to a decrease in specific reserves, decreased loan balances, and overall improved credit quality.
The ratio of allowance for credit losses to loans held for investment was 1.45% as of September 30, 2025, compared to 1.45% as of June 30, 2025 and 1.41% as of September 30, 2024.
The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.26% as of September 30, 2025, compared to 0.25% as of June 30, 2025 and 0.59% as of September 30, 2024. Annualized net charge-offs were 0.16% for the third quarter of 2025, compared to 0.06% for the second quarter of 2025 and 0.11% for the third quarter of 2024.
Capital
Book value per share increased to $29.41 at September 30, 2025, compared to $27.98 at June 30, 2025. The change was primarily driven by $13.7 million of net income after dividends paid and by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $9.1 million. The ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets (non-GAAP) increased 27 basis points to 10.25% at September 30, 2025.

These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP financial measures.
We classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the United States in our statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows.
