Total investment securities at September 30, 2024 decreased $1.0 million to $855.4 million from $856.4 million at June 30, 2024, and decreased $25.0 million from $880.4 million at September 30, 2023. Total cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2024 increased $64.8 million to $407.9 million from $343.1 million at June 30, 2024, and increased $246.9 million from $161.0 million at September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, total investment securities and total cash and cash equivalents represented 10.8 percent of total assets, compared to 10.3 percent and 9.3 percent as of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

Total deposits at September 30, 2024 decreased $4.8 million to $8.7 billion from June 30, 2024. Despite the decrease during the quarter, customer deposits increased $103.2 million, offset by a $107.9 million decrease in brokered deposits. Total deposits increased $166.3 million from $8.6 billion at September 30, 2023, primarily driven by growth in customer deposits. The increase in customer deposits quarter to date included a $43.5 million increase in demand checking accounts.

Total borrowed funds at September 30, 2024 increased $68.1 million to $1.5 billion from June 30, 2024, and increased $362.5 million from $1.1 billion at September 30, 2023.

The ratio of stockholders’ equity to total assets was 10.54 percent at September 30, 2024, compared to 10.30 percent at June 30, 2024, and 10.36 percent at September 30, 2023. The ratio of tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets (non-GAAP) was 8.50 percent at September 30, 2024, as compared to 8.23 percent at June 30, 2024, and 8.16 percent at September 30, 2023.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased $3.0 million to $83.0 million during the third quarter of 2024 from $80.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The net interest margin increased 7 basis points to 3.07 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 3.00 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by higher yields on loans and leases partially offset by higher funding costs.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total non-interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 decreased $0.1 million to $6.3 million from $6.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $4.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $5.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in provision was largely driven by improving economic forecasts partially offset by an increase in specific reserves on nonperforming credits.

Total net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2024 were $3.8 million, compared to $8.4 million in the second quarter of 2024. The $3.8 million in net charge-offs was driven by $2.6 million in equipment financing, largely within specialty vehicle. The ratio of net loan and lease charge-offs to average loans and leases on an annualized basis decreased to 16 basis points for the third quarter of 2024 from 35 basis points for the second quarter of 2024.

The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.31 percent of total loans and leases at September 30, 2024, compared to 1.25 percent at June 30, 2024, and 1.27 percent at September 30, 2023.

ASSET QUALITY

The ratio of nonperforming loans and leases to total loans and leases was 0.73 percent at September 30, 2024, an increase from 0.62 percent at June 30, 2024. Total nonaccrual loans and leases increased $10.5 million to $71.2 million at September 30, 2024 from $60.7 million at June 30, 2024. The increase was driven by one equipment financing relationship of $9.3 million which has been reserved at 55 percent. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.62 percent at September 30, 2024, an increase from 0.54 percent at June 30, 2024. Total nonperforming assets increased $10.1 million to $72.8 million at September 30, 2024 from $62.7 million at June 30, 2024.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 decreased $1.2 million to $57.9 million from $59.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Excluding the one time restructuring charge taken in the second quarter of $0.8 million, non-interest expense decreased $0.4 million primarily due to a reduction in advertising and marketing expense.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 24.7 percent and 24.6 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 24.4 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 21.4 percent and 20.3 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

RETURNS ON AVERAGE ASSETS AND AVERAGE EQUITY

The annualized return on average assets increased to 0.70 percent during the third quarter 2024 from 0.57 percent for the second quarter of 2024.

We may also make forward-looking statements in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), in our annual reports to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials, and in oral statements made by our officers, directors or employees. You can identify forward looking statements by the use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “assume,” “outlook,” “will,” “should,” and other expressions that predict or indicate future events and trends and which do not relate to historical matters, including statements regarding the Company’s business, credit quality, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Forward-looking statements may differ, possibly materially, from what is included in this press release due to factors and future developments that are uncertain and beyond the scope of the Company’s control. These include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates; general economic conditions (including inflation and concerns about liquidity) on a national basis or in the local markets in which the Company operates; turbulence in the capital and debt markets; competitive pressures from other financial institutions; changes in consumer behavior due to changing political, business and economic conditions, or legislative or regulatory initiatives; changes in the value of securities and other assets in the Company’s investment portfolio; increases in loan and lease default and charge-off rates; the adequacy of allowances for loan and lease losses; decreases in deposit levels that necessitate increases in borrowing to fund loans and investments; operational risks including, but not limited to, cybersecurity incidents, fraud, natural disasters, and future pandemics; changes in regulation; the possibility that future credit losses may be higher than currently expected due to changes in economic assumptions and adverse economic developments; the risk that goodwill and intangibles recorded in the Company’s financial statements will become impaired; and changes in assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which are difficult to predict. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among others, the risks outlined in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings submitted to the SEC.
