Net Income

Net income for first quarter 2025 and fourth quarter 2024 was $14.3 million and $13.8 million, respectively. Interest income decreased $0.7 million in first quarter 2025 compared to fourth quarter 2024, primarily due to decreases in yields on balances due from banks, decreased volume in the securities portfolio and two fewer days in the quarter. These decreases were slightly offset by increases in yields on the loan and securities portfolios and increases in volume in the loan portfolio and balances due from banks. Interest expense decreased $3.2 million in first quarter 2025 compared to fourth quarter 2024, primarily due to decreases in costs on the Company’s trust preferred securities, other borrowings, and cost of deposits. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in volume of deposits. Noninterest income decreased $0.8 million in first quarter 2025 compared to fourth quarter 2024, primarily due to decreases in earnings on bank‐owned life insurance and service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by increases in other income. Noninterest expense increased $0.8 million in first quarter 2025 compared to fourth quarter 2024, due to increases in salary and employee benefit expenses and occupancy expenses, slightly offset by decreases in furniture and fixture expenses and other expenses.

These increases were slightly offset by a decrease in volume in the securities portfolio and a decrease in yield on the balances due from banks. Interest expense decreased $4.9 million in first quarter 2025 compared to first quarter 2024, primarily due to decreases in costs on the Company’s trust preferred securities, other borrowings, and cost of deposits.
