In its first quarter of 2023, the company reported lower-than-expected results due to a challenging interest rate environment, with net income at $5.16 million, a 71.7% decrease year-over-year. Despite this, deposits increased by 6.2% year-over-year to reach $6.8 billion, reflecting strong customer relationships. The net interest margin (NIM) decreased to 2.27%, down from 2.70% in the prior quarter, primarily due to liabilities repricing faster than assets. The company took decisive actions to stabilize its business model, including moving towards an interest rate-neutral position and tightening expense controls. Key financial metrics include a tangible common equity ratio of 7.73%. A loss was incurred on the charge-off of a $9.2 million business credit. A conference call discussing these results is scheduled for April 26, 2023.
