(Tier: 15.83%, National: 17.06%)
better than tier avg

decline

Margin Compression

decline
#140 of 305 • Bottom 45.6% in tier

Profitability above 0.75% ROA but margins eroding by at least 0.10pp YoY. Something changed - rising costs or falling yields need addressing.

better than tier avg

(Tier: 65.29%, National: 66.95%)
worse than tier avg
