Live Oak's performance in the quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, includes these notable items:

- Net interest income increased 3.1% and net interest margin increased 5 basis points from 3.15% to 3.20%
- 1.5% decline in revenue and 3.4% increase in noninterest expenses generated 10% decline in pre-provision net revenue1
