736 million from $2.3 billion as of December 31, 2024 due to an increase in non-EBO and agency-conforming loans. 

Total liabilities increased $5.1 billion to $79.3 billion at June 30, 2025, compared to $74.2 billion at December 31, 2024 primarily due to an increase in total deposits of $4.8 billion, or 7.2%, to $71.1 billion. By type, the increase in deposits from December 31, 2024 was driven by increases of $4.2 billion in non-interest bearing deposits and $1.0 billion in savings and money market accounts, partially offset by decreases in both interest bearing demand deposits and certificates of deposit of $204 million. Other borrowings increased $479 million from December 31, 2024 primarily due to an increase in long-term FHLB advances.

Total equity of $7.4 billion at June 30, 2025 increased $700 million, or 10.4%, from December 31, 2024 primarily due to net income of $436.9 million, the issuance of preferred stock from the Company's REIT subsidiary, and unrealized fair value gains on AFS securities, recorded net of tax in OCI. Proceeds from the REIT preferred stock issuance totaled $293 million, net of issuance costs, and was recognized as a noncontrolling interest in subsidiary. These increases were partially offset by quarterly dividends to common and preferred stockholders as well as REIT preferred stockholders.

Investment securities

Debt securities are classified at the time of acquisition as either HTM, AFS, or trading based upon various factors, including asset/liability management strategies, liquidity and profitability objectives, and regulatory requirements. HTM securities are carried at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. AFS securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses on these securities recorded in AOCI in stockholders’ equity, net of tax. Trading securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses on these securities included in current period earnings.

The Company's investment securities portfolio may be utilized as collateral for borrowings, required collateral for public deposits and repurchase agreements, and to manage liquidity, capital, and interest rate risk.
