The increase in classified loans was primarily driven by the remaining long-term healthcare portfolio being returned to held for investment, construction projects with lease up rates lower than projected and a few larger C&I borrowers whose performance deteriorateded during the year.

We also consider how the levels of nonaccrual loans and historical charge-offs have influenced the required amount of allowance for credit losses. Nonaccrual loans of $102 million at June 30, 2025 increased by $41 million, or 67%, from $61 million at December 31, 2024, or 0.90% of total loans receivable as of June 30, 2025 and 0.55% of total loans receivable as of December 31, 2024. As a percentage of average loans, annualized net charge-offs remained low at 0.18% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 0.32% for the year ended December 31, 2024 which included a $15 million write-down on certain loans to fair value before they were transferred to held for sale.
