Overview of the Credit Union’s Performance Metrics
The above chart shows some of the important metrics we look at when assessing a credit union, and compares these to the average credit union of comparable size. It also shows how these metrics have fared over the past year. Beginning with Myhscu’s return on assets (aka ROA), on this statistic the credit union performs below the average comparable credit union. When we look at the year over year trends, we can see that ROA has improved given the 0.13% change. A credit union’s ROA is a good way of assessing how well the entity is using its assets to generate returns. We look at the delinquency rate within a loan portfolio as a way to assess the performance and quality of a credit union’s loan book. A lower delinquency rate indicates a better performing portfolio. Myhscu has a delinquency rate that is well above its peer group average and when compared with the prior year, we can see that it has been relatively stable. Finally, the net worth ratio for the credit union is 8.6% which is below its peer group average of 9.7%. This metric has been relatively stable on a year over year basis and stood at 8.7% a year ago. Based on the NCUA guidelines, the credit union is considered to be well capitalized.
