Understanding the Current Economic Landscape
The financial sector has recently encountered challenges due to escalated Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) target rates, which have risen significantly since early 2022.

Our ability to manage funding costs and loan yields has allowed us to secure a net interest margin of 3.80%, significantly higher than the Wyoming average.

With a clear dedication to asset quality, Crazy Woman Creek Bancorp has kept nonperforming assets at a low 0.72%. Our loan delinquency average of over 30 days stands at an impressive 0.41%. Furthermore, our loan loss reserve, which is positioned at 1.86%, illustrates our proactive stance on risk management, exceeding state averages and ensuring we are well-prepared for potential challenges.
Future Outlook
Our management team's ongoing diligence and commitment to diversified financial services have culminated in this year’s success. We will continue to prioritize improving operating efficiencies, upholding conservative lending protocols, and seeking ways to enhance long-term shareholder value.
