"I am very pleased to report that our full year results represented the fourth consecutive year of record earnings for the Company," said George W. Kinne, Jr., President and CEO, "Jeff Bank's strong core deposit base was evidenced by our interest expense being in the lowest percentile among its peer group of 1,296 insured commercial banks in the United States with assets between $300 million and $1 billion. In addition, our return on assets (ROA) of 1.90% was 53% higher and our leverage capital ratio of 14.68% was 35% higher than the average of those same peers. These remarkable accomplishments allowed us to reward our loyal shareholders with two special dividends in addition to our regular dividends in 2025."
