Ratios behind the grade

Deposits above the insured limit

50.3%
Percentile19.4

50.3 percent of deposits exceed the FDIC insurance limit, better than 19.4 percent of banks over $100 billion in assets. A lower uninsured share means less depositor money could face losses if the institution closes.

Unrealized bond losses vs equity

19.2%
Percentile12.9

19.2 percent of equity is the gap between recorded and current market values of bonds intended to be held to maturity, with negative gaps shown as zero. 12.9 percent of similar banks have a larger gap, and this paper loss becomes real only if the bonds are sold before maturity.

Commercial real estate vs capital

62.4%
Percentile35.5

Commercial real estate loans equal 62.4 percent of total risk-based capital, covering construction, non-owner-occupied commercial and multifamily loans but excluding owner-occupied property; the ratio can exceed 100 percent. 35.5 percent of similar banks have a higher concentration; losses in one lending type can affect more of the bank’s finances at once.

Problem loans vs capital (Texas ratio)

5.8%

Core capital vs assets

7.8%
Percentile19.4

7.8 percent of total assets is tier 1 capital, meaning funds provided by the bank’s owners rather than deposits and borrowings. Its core capital ratio is better than 19.4 percent of similar banks, providing a larger cushion to absorb losses before depositors are affected.

1.38%
