• Liabilities grew alongside assets, with total liabilities around $23.99B by 2025 Q3 and total assets near $30.25B, reflecting a larger balance sheet footprint but not necessarily a disproportionate risk profile.
• Investing activities remained a net cash outflow in several periods, highlighting ongoing investment in securities. For instance, 4Q25 net cash from investing activities was about -$83.7M, versus smaller negative or mixed levels in prior years, indicating continued expansion of investment activity that reduces near-term cash.
