Alberto Paracchini

standards don't EBI, or our know I think back remained are know I don't I consistent. have that that, don't I that I different, would the say our think, were loose standards then I or

single-digits to expect basis expected still the to do mid- now. in my to clarify notes to the such low terms on be payoffs, loan more seeing you expectation? of that terms I payoff an what on you on sort doesn't high for double-digit annual sound risk of that lower way thanks is of think, adjusting want to in double-digit like to are back kind side. the Or loan one-offs in happening, you that color of Just And the feel of if loan of terms given I growth mid go right growth that - the we

Lindsay Corby

stronger similarly year. So, EBI, the move we last we production comes expected throughout as to to year. The

focused there. think on in transaction don't the much terms changed close. I has First that we obviously So to that, But are guidance Evanston of

part that been do for, think stronger what in that a the would second half. that's the trends we So year seeing coming big are focus I last with the

Ebrahim Poonawala

move could about just expect in what we growth? conservatively trying loan Understood, but just XX% think that of should would mean in to I growth. terms you of know, understand XX% X% to does And for just XX%, around, how I'm loan net net it terms to

Alberto Paracchini

of low a is said you double-digit. expectation single-digit what to think EP. I reasonable Very kind high

The next with Terry question from Stephens. McEvoy comes

Terry McEvoy

once optically, we morning. could those Good you that, if down out the for or of gradually NPLs, and involved understand timing process wondering I the with I'm to and your NPLs, trying a getting help understand me process getting government-guaranteed just just but coming are as screen they banks the resolved? impacts for

Alberto Paracchini

well. the loans But, he carry unguaranteed nuances, majority answer been and loans are loans portion into as the has have the essentially there's - portion so secondary market. of that So, two, the so can guaranteed I our we here, into Tim would say, two answer generally. And, we we vast jump that and have sold

the say, are from balance is, of loan, the investor balance have let's workout we a we the has XX% the and sold in principle the unpaid situation, secondary market. XX% an to if obviously, So carrying that been

basically case, So essentially investor loan will wait workout guaranty, goes will the in that we the will of SBA liquidation bad, and paid, on till the to collateral loan. workout the get investor pay the effectively happens, in the

has been have sold, position and guaranteed, we the our loans, When on portion as as of we not that that guaranteed well piece. where portion. unguaranteed on loan the the the is own Given the unguaranteed

which claim the final resolution the with and the can then submit until collateral to liquidation We claim the the and then have borrower. we the pay. process to will eventually of wait the And SBA,

are portion or have So even carrying the of though, a it. loan we guaranteed we balance guaranteed

the and then and make guaranty on get repaid. claim the workout, essentially For we the of duration the

So then, NPLs. time, a the your portion of both guaranteed and the for showing you're as unguaranteed a period elevated NPLs the on of the having result

Timothy Hadro

that is carry, the loan that the is had just is reason we carry nonperforming therefore, that as would we a interest. I loan. to guaranteed, as a the not it loan government-guaranteed nonperforming add a And principle

Terry McEvoy

then deposit Okay. service impact just made when kind pro you And transition Thanks, Evanston any results announced the charges you forma Tim. of impacted fees, last you quarter the First that charges, expand could the as on shifting whether gears, were will of any mentioned changes that deal? of those and

Alberto Paracchini

Terry. the impacts don't not we very consumers we so, don't, it that the of These changes materially is ways anticipate between First changes for favorable But that in Don't fees Evanstons, that, and think assess ours are terms made. different. fee differences just that we

don't change we of a there. So anticipate much

Terry McEvoy

from question. Just side define as given coming on you offences the one cost kind of investments the them just more savings, defensive would related the areas last competitive the branch landscape? or of If reinvestment

Alberto Paracchini

Lindsay Corby

to number. continue it said very I happy some at, of of have we asset-sensitive noise predict terms We do recoveries at can't raising level, exact say, and I do and so, good but Perfectly, forward, in as things I and in see uptick would giving balance there, was out we It's flow level to were that have of we sheet. see always hard there. be an because a say, we rates. terms assuming our that the to in really fed going I would payoffs loan yields

balancing a act. it's So

Brian Martin

about kind a there out the liars bit one if can the to The in and we out quarter, what question. were change it's just you think is to decision, are are impact volatility? going we a if we, this guess And just of, could I that kind of quarter. some, or liars biggest make better given worse need it a the

Lindsay Corby

I are in have would that - I right? not unknown now this accretion accretion, is don't something say time. we the right visibility we point impact is biggest would at say

Brian Martin

numbers. Right. I'm accretion. at taking I'm out the core just looking the

number where understand in could that core points. we up could XX just up, that that to be, that fair the XX if I'm was were number can the basis X let's I be was could amount. why trying the down, margin volatility a So say just be, talking say

kind so. So of mentioned the range number you earlier, whatever

Alberto Paracchini

have income, that interest that a things you basis, that And to fluctuates monthly flow Brian, causes in so from sort, that dependent fees through of that's on an right? activity. on acceleration refinances payoffs

So it's you kind I see. primarily what think of that's will

Brian Martin

things. of, of where right. anything that there changed the last or with stands affecting All recently Is just Okay. I then Alberto, today? kind got is that the has maybe SBA just that you. how two today? And kind pipeline, that still

Alberto Paracchini

in of the terms to if go you see, deck. Page on you As deck, X

bottom think loan like but at there chart, comparison. a this the at can really I kind you the close is I look where really is there know useful year-over-year useful, table the kind that of on commitments, the of

think pretty good. I that's

sometime remain, SBA I ago product a we tool lenders manage mean, during obviously, a in to their now calls, be there to pipelines business of we good. the a an of focused, banks there as lot what more we that have of number doing and feature we as are remain of the that business in And add-on general, used run or SBA mentioned have, quality But the or people. not that I have the released seems there think, part think So, like of a this dedicated I use, that on business, were ex are people other as we people basis. our some our some team can
