Watch flags
The net worth ratio is below the 6% NCUA adequately-capitalized threshold, placing the credit union in the undercapitalized Prompt Corrective Action category, which triggers mandatory earnings-retention and supervisory restrictions. NCUA Prompt Corrective Action, 12 CFR 702.102.
Loans 60+ days delinquent exceed 1% of the loan book, above the typical credit-union range. Worth watching the trend in coming quarters. BankRegReports early-warning band.
The credit union posted negative net income relative to assets in its latest filing. Credit unions build net worth only through retained earnings, so sustained losses gradually weaken capital. BankRegReports flag, negative earnings.
How we read these figures
Glossary: net worth ratio, delinquency, ROA, loan-to-share. The net worth category is ours, from NCUA's 7% well and 6% adequately capitalized cutoffs. It is not NCUA's determination, which can differ. ROA, ROE and margin annualize the quarter; NCUA's Financial Performance Report annualizes the year to date (YTD).
