First Freedom Bank (FDIC cert 58208) is a community bank — $693M in total assets, $608M in deposits, serving the Lebanon, Tennessee area. Community banks make up the largest share of U.S. banks by count but a much smaller share by assets.
Capital position is adequate: Tier 1 capital ratio of 11.07% meets the 8% well-capitalized threshold but does not provide substantial buffer above it. Adequate capital is regulatory-acceptable but leaves less room for absorbing unexpected losses. Asset quality is clean: non-performing loan ratio of 0.19% is below 0.5% — well within the healthy range for U.S. community and regional banks. Clean NPL ratios reflect either disciplined underwriting, a low-credit-risk loan mix, or both. Liquidity is thin: 12.1% liquid-asset ratio. Banks with thin liquidity buffers can face stress during deposit-outflow events or asset-quality shocks.
Profitability is strong: return on assets of 1.71% is well above the 1.0% benchmark most analysts use as the threshold for a healthy bank. Strong ROA usually reflects disciplined cost management, healthy net interest margins, or both. Health-score trend is mildly negative across recent quarters. Mild declines can reflect either specific quarterly events (large one-time provisions, deposit shifts) or the early stages of broader pressure. First Freedom Bank carries a composite BankHealth grade of B (69/100) 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.
