"We are committed to a disciplined approach to underwriting and pricing which resulted in portfolio loan production of $98.9 million at a blended rate of 8.15% . Our balance sheet remains well positioned to manage through these uncertain economic times while continuing to grow market share and create value for our shareholders. "
Quarterly Summary
Loans held for investment grew $50.5 million , or 6.1% , in Q4 2023 and increased $183.5 million , or 26.2% , from Q4 2022. Total deposits increased $43.7 million , or 4.8% , in Q4 2023 and were up $109.3 million , or 13.0% , from Q4 2022. Pre-tax, pre-provision ("PTPP") net income was $4.39 million in Q4 2023, compared to $4.28 million in Q3 2023 and $3.58 million in Q4 2022. Tangible book value ("TBV") per share increased to $24.54 , or 6.0% , from $23.16 at Q3 2023, and increased 9.5% from $22.42 at Q4 2022. The increase in TBV is attributable to earnings and a decrease in unrealized losses within our securities portfolio. Operating Results
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $2,076,000 , or $0.47 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2,572,000 , or $0.58 per diluted share, for Q3 2023, and $2,594,000 , or $0.58 per diluted share, for the same quarter last year. The decrease from the prior quarter was the result of an increase in provision expense of $884,000 offset by an increase of $258,000 in net-interest income and a decrease of $130,000 in non-interest expense.
Net interest income for Q4 2023 was $12.4 million , an increase of $258,000 , or 2.1% , over the prior quarter as interest income from new loan production outpaced the increases in interest expense.
Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 4.65% compared to 4.73% in the previous quarter and 4.94% for the same quarter last year. While there continues to be pressure on the margin from the Fed's current tightening and constrictive rate policies, we continue to see healthy loan demand at attractive spreads that allows us to defend the margin and realize accretive growth. While the cost of funding continues to increase, the growth in earning assets at current market yields is outpacing the funding cost pressures. Relative to the fourth quarter of 2022, the consolidated net interest margin decreased primarily due to rising deposit costs.
Noninterest income including net gains and losses for Q4 2023 was $1,034,000 , a decrease of $273,000 , or 20.9% , from $1,306,000 in Q3 2023. The decrease was attributable to generating less income from gain on loan sales in the current quarter. Relative to the fourth quarter of 2022, noninterest income increased $250,000 , or 31.9% , primarily due to a loss on sales of securities in Q4 2022.
Noninterest expense of $9.05 million in Q4 2023 was a decrease of $130,000 , or 1.4% , from $9.17 million in Q3 2023 and a $50,000 , or 0.6% , decrease from $9.10 million in Q4 2022. The decrease from Q3 2023 was primarily attributable to a decrease in compensation expenses. The $50,000 decrease from Q4 2022 is due to a decrease in marketing and occupancy expenses offset by an increase in compensation expenses. The Company's efficiency ratio was 67.3% for Q4 2023, compared to 68.2% for Q3 2023, and 71.7% for Q4 2022.
Total assets were $1.14 billion as of December 31, 2023, an increase of $80.5 million , or 7.6% , from $1.06 billion at September 30, 2023. Fourth quarter 2023 balance sheet activity was characterized by $50.5 million , or 6.1% , growth in portfolio loans funded by $43.7 million , or 4.8% , increase in deposits. Cash and cash equivalents increased $22.0 million along with an increase of $29.6 million in overnight borrowings.
Loans held for investment were $882.8 million as of December 31, 2023, an increase of $50.5 million , or 6.1% , from $832.4 million as of September 30, 2023, and an increase of $183.5 million , or 26.2% , from $699.3 million as of December 31, 2022. The increase in total loans held for investment from the previous quarter was attributable to loan growth distributed amongst all loan categories, with the largest increase in the Bank's commercial real estate portfolio. The increase in total loans held for investment from December 30, 2022 was attributable to loan growth in both commercial loans and commercial real estate. We continue to see significant lending opportunities across our markets.
Deposits were $948.0 million as of December 31, 2023, up $43.7 million , or 4.8% , from the previous quarter, and up $109.3 million , or 13.0% , from the same quarter last year. Our deposit portfolio continues to see remix occurring as people move excess deposits out of their noninterest-bearing accounts into yield seeking accounts; however, the rate of remix has slowed since the start of the year. We continue to see organic deposit growth opportunities within our markets but at an elevated cost due to sustained higher rates and competition from non-bank organizations. Noninterest bearing deposits represented 33% of total deposits and 34% of core deposits as of December 31, 2023, compared to 35% at September 30, 2023 and 42% at December 31, 2022.
Borrowings were $62.2 million as of December 31, 2023, which consisted of $24.6 million of Company subordinated debt and $37.6 million of overnight borrowings compared to $24.6 million of subordinated debt and $8 million in overnight borrowings in the previous quarter.
Asset quality measures remained strong in Q4 2023. Nonaccrual loans, excluding government guaranteed balances, totaled $1,770,000 , or 0.20% of loans, as of December 31, 2023, compared to $3,267,000 , or 0.39% of loans, at September 30, 2023 and $669,000 , or 0.10% of loans, at December 31, 2022. The Company had no OREO for Q4 2023, Q3 2023, or Q4 2022.
The Allowance for Credit Losses ("ACL") totaled $10.5 million , or 1.19% of loans held for investment, as of December 31, 2023. The Company recorded $1.6 million in provision for loan loss expense in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $716,000 in provision expense in the previous quarter, and $150,000 provision in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company recorded net charge-offs of $708,000 in the fourth quarter of 2023 as final resolution primarily tied to a troubled commercial credit from Q3 2023.
Capital ratios of the Company and Bank continue to exceed the "well-capitalized" capital levels set by their respective regulators. At December 31, 2023 the Bank's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 12.32% and the total risk -based capital ratio was 14.49% . At December 31, 2023 the Company had tangible common equity (total stockholders' equity less intangible assets) of $108.7 million and tangible book value per share of $24.54 . Tangible common equity increased $5,911,000 in Q4 2023 due to quarterly earnings of $2,076,000 coupled with a $4.4 million improvement to accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") related to lower unrealized losses on our securities portfolio. These were offset by $678,000 as a result of finalizing the Day 1 CECL entry for unfunded commitments. The Company's tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 9.62% as of December 31, 2023, down from 9.78% in the previous quarter. There were no paid dividends during Q4 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Some of the financial measures included in this press release are not measures of financial performance recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures include "efficiency ratio," "tangible common equity," "tangible common equity to tangible assets," "tangible book value per share," and "pre-tax pre-provision net income." Efficiency ratio is computed by dividing total noninterest expense, including intangible expense, by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, including gains and losses. Tangible common equity is computed by subtracting goodwill and core deposit intangibles from total stockholders' equity. Tangible common equity to tangible assets is computed by dividing total assets, less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, by tangible common equity. Tangible book value per share is computed by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding. Pre-tax, pre-provision net income is computed by adding provision for loan loss expense and income tax expense to net income. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide both management and investors with a more complete understanding of the Company's financial position and performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP financial measures. Not all companies use the same calculation of these measures; therefore, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as presented by other companies.
