Financial Highlights
Quarterly Changes (comparisons to the third quarter of 2023)
-
Net income increased
7% , or , to$0.7 million due to higher net interest income, partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses.$10.6 million -
The
increase in net interest income was driven by a 27 basis point increase in net interest margin. This is primarily a result of a balance sheet restructuring, including a bond sale, in the first quarter of 2024, along with higher loan yields.$2.7 million - Noninterest income was mostly flat for the quarter, with increases in service charge income offset by decreases in other noninterest income, primarily from life insurance proceeds received in 2023 that did not reoccur in 2024.
-
Noninterest expense was
higher in the third quarter over the same quarter last year. While salary and benefit costs decreased due to a strategic internal reorganization in the fourth quarter of 2023, this was offset by an increase in occupancy costs, due to the sale/leaseback of certain branches in the fourth quarter of 2023.$0.2 million
Linked Quarter Income Changes (comparisons to the three months ended June 30, 2024)
-
Net income improved by
, or$0.3 million 3% , driven mostly by a increase in net interest income, offset by a$0.6 million increase in the provision for credit losses.$0.5 million -
Net interest income increased by
, due to an increase in average earning assets, partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing liabilities, at a higher cost of funds.$0.6 million
Year to-Date Income Changes (comparisons to the first nine months of 2023)
-
Net income increased
, or$1.6 million 6% . This was primarily driven by an increase of or$5.1 million 6% in net interest income, due mostly to an overall increase in interest rates on earning assets. While we experienced higher yields and balances on loans, this was complemented by a decrease in borrowed funds and a decrease in the rate paid on the remaining balance of borrowed funds. Partially offsetting these positive variances was an increase in the provision for credit losses, and an increase in occupancy expenses from the sale/leaseback of branch buildings in late 2023. -
The provision for credit losses was
, an increase of$2.4 million , primarily due to an increase in net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2024, due to a foreclosure of a single property.$2.2 million -
Noninterest income increased by
, or$1.7 million 7% . Service charges on deposit accounts were higher, due mostly to higher interchange income, an increase in analysis fees, and other transaction-based fees, combined with a net$1.0 million gain, from the balance sheet restructuring earlier in the year.$0.6 million -
Noninterest expense increased
, or$1.5 million 2% , due mostly to increases in rent expense from the sale/ leaseback of branch buildings at the end of 2023.
Statement of Condition Changes (comparisons to December 31, 2023)
-
Total assets decreased by
, or$33.6 million 1% , to , during the first nine months of the year due primarily to the strategic restructuring of our lower-yielding bond portfolio in the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by increases in loan balances.$3.7 billion -
Gross loans increased
, due to a$230.6 million increase in mortgage warehouse line utilization, a$219.8 million increase in commercial real estate loans, a$10.6 million increase in farmland loans, and a$13.3 million increase in commercial loans. This favorable growth was partially offset by a$12.0 million decrease in residential real estate loans, and smaller declines in construction and consumer loans.$23.9 million -
Deposits totaled
at September 30, 2024, representing a year-to-date increase of$3.0 billion , or$200.9 million 7% . The growth in deposits came mostly from a increase in brokered deposits to fund mortgage warehouse lines, and a$175.0 million increase in transaction accounts offset by smaller declines in customer non-transaction accounts.$40.6 million -
Other interest-bearing liabilities decreased
, from a decrease in overnight borrowings facilitated by the strategic balance sheet restructuring in the first quarter of 2024, and a decrease in FHLB advances, as we utilized brokered deposits not only to fund mortgage lines, but to pay down more costly FHLB lines of credit.$262.1 million

Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses on loans was
There was a provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments for
The Company recorded a small benefit for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities for the three months and nine months ending 2024. The benefit was a result of a change in the reserve rates utilized in the calculation of the reserves, due to updated municipal bond default rates across all credit ratings, combined with an aging municipal bond portfolio. Although there were debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the declines in market values were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and volatility in the financial markets and not a result of an expected credit loss.
Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income was unchanged for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same quarter in 2023, and increased
The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for officers and directors, which allows the participant to defer a portion of their earnings tax-free. Participants are allowed to choose different hypothetical investment alternatives to determine their individualized return on their deferred compensation. The Company has chosen to offset the cost of this liability with a BOLI Policy, which is funded based on deferral elections from the participants. Although the BOLI is not directly tied to the deferred compensation plan, the BOLI is invested in similar fund types as those selected by the participants. There is some inefficiency in net earnings of the BOLI asset as compared to the deferred compensation liability created by the cost of insurance, differences in balances, and differences in individual fund performance. During the third quarter, and first nine months of 2024, earnings from the BOLI were
