Bank of Marin (FDIC cert 32779) is a mid-sized bank with $3.7B in total assets and $3.2B in deposits, based in Novato, California. Mid-sized banks typically operate regionally with a mix of commercial and consumer lending.

Capital position is strong: Tier 1 capital ratio of 14.32% sits comfortably above the 8% well-capitalized regulatory threshold and the 10% well-capitalized-plus floor for community banks. Strong capital is the first line of defense against unexpected loan losses. Asset quality is elevated: non-performing loan ratio of 2.01% runs above 2%, suggesting the loan book carries more credit risk than peer banks. Elevated NPL can reflect specific portfolio concentrations or broader credit-cycle pressure. Liquidity is comfortable: 37.6% of assets in liquid form — sufficient to cover meaningful deposit-outflow scenarios without forced asset sales.

Profitability is negative: ROA of -1.57% means the bank lost money during the reporting period. Sustained negative ROA erodes capital and triggers escalating regulatory attention. Health-score trend is declining materially over the most recent quarters. Declining trends warrant attention — banks in this pattern often face follow-on regulatory engagement and elevated supervisory scrutiny. Bank of Marin carries a composite BankHealth grade of B (76/100) as of the 2024-06 Call Report filing. The grade combines capital ratios (Tier 1), asset quality (non-performing loans), liquidity, and profitability into a single signal.
