Key drivers

  • Recent completed Disaster charge-offs are elevated versus 2016-2021 but below the COVID EIDL distortion in the Disaster subtotal.
  • FY2025 partial Disaster charge-offs of 107714599 through 2025-06-30 imply full-year risk near but below FY2023-FY2024 if seasonality is ordinary.
  • Disaster UPB rose to 11976493088 by FY2025 Q3, supporting a higher dollar base than pre-2022 years.
  • FY2025 Q3 gross approvals of 5266748331 add future exposure, but charge-offs usually lag approvals.
