Lewis & Clark Bank: Net Interest Margin Analysis
BankRegReports is independent of Lewis & Clark Bank and never asks for online banking logins or passwords.
As of 3Q25, from Call Report Schedules RI and RC-K.
In 3Q25, earning assets yielded 4.88% and interest expense came to 1.64% of earning assets, leaving a net interest margin of 2.41%. Interest-bearing liabilities cost 2.18%, a spread of 2.70%; the other -0.29% of margin comes from the $79.8M of earning assets funded by deposits and equity that pay no interest. The published margin on our bank pages is 2.39%, -2 bp from the figure built from the lines here. It is the UBPR's tax-equivalent margin over the UBPR's own average earning assets, not net interest income over the Schedule RC-K average earning assets used here, so the two need not agree.
Where the margin comes from, 3Q25
Each earning asset's average balance for the quarter, the interest it earned, its annualized yield, and the share of the margin it supplies: its interest times four over average earning assets of $321.5M. The contributions add up to the yield on earning assets.

Interest for the quarter is the year-to-date figure on Schedule RI less the prior quarter's; balances are the quarterly averages on Schedule RC-K. Amounts are filed thousands shown in dollars. One or more lines do not add up to the filed totals for this quarter; the totals shown are the filed ones.

Funding lines are shown by their effect on net interest income, so a rise in deposit interest is negative. Volume is the change in balance at the earlier quarter's rate; rate is the rest, so the two add to the change. The margin effect is the change in each line's contribution, and the effects add to the change in the margin.
