MODERATE
Composite risk score
0.92/100

An exploratory screening score that ranks relative failure risk across filers. It is not a calibrated probability, not a credit rating, and not a CAMELS rating.

Held-out test AUC 0.910 for the 1-year horizon (v20261026_025757). Trained on credit-driven community-bank failures, it carries little signal for interest-rate or deposit-flight risk. The score covers every FDIC-insured bank in the latest run, but the model was trained on community and regional banks and its accuracy above roughly $10 billion in assets is not established, so a low score is not evidence of safety.

What do these ratios mean?

CET1 Ratio

Common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital, mostly common stock and retained earnings, divided by risk-weighted assets. It is the most-watched single capital ratio in US bank supervision. CET1 Ratio in the glossary.

Tier 1 Leverage Ratio

Tier 1 capital divided by average total assets, with no risk weighting. It caps how far a bank can grow its balance sheet on its capital. Tier 1 Leverage Ratio in the glossary.

Nonperforming Loans (NPL) Ratio

Nonaccrual loans plus loans 90 or more days past due, divided by total loans. Regulators call these noncurrent loans, the name the short answer above uses. Nonperforming Loans (NPL) Ratio in the glossary.

Texas Ratio

Problem assets (nonaccrual loans, loans 90 or more days past due and foreclosed real estate) divided by tangible equity plus the loan-loss reserve. Readings above 100% have historically come before bank failures. Texas Ratio in the glossary.

Efficiency Ratio

Noninterest expense divided by revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income). Lower is better: it is what the bank spends to earn each dollar. Efficiency Ratio in the glossary.
