Special items are non-recurring events that may distort period-over-period comparisons. Analysts typically adjust for these when calculating normalized earnings.
Despite several one-time items, including reductions related to the SBA government shutdown, delays in our VISA Signature credit card growth, and delays in the BoltBetz/Pooled Player Account (PPA™) launch, we delivered strong year-over-year growth.
SBA originations increased to a record $576.0 million, up from $501.9 million, while credit card transaction volume grew to $420.5 million from $73.8 million, and BoltBetz/PPA™ is now live.
Looking ahead, we believe our ability to drive meaningful growth in 2026 and beyond will be fueled by our Gaming and Fintech investments, along with continued improvements to our core banking platform.
