2025 Q3 Earnings Highlights

Key Highlights

Strong Net Income Growth Net income available to common shareholders rose 19.2% QTD to $172.7M; diluted EPS reached $2.67, up from $2.24 year-over-year.
Improved Net Interest Margin Taxable-equivalent NIM expanded 13 basis points to 3.69% for the quarter, driven by higher asset yields and lower funding costs.
Significant Asset Quality Gains Non-accrual loans decreased 43% to $44.8M since year-end; credit loss expense dropped sharply to $6.8M this quarter.
Robust Capital Ratios Maintained CET1 ratio stood at 14.14%, significantly exceeding the 7.00% minimum plus buffer requirement for the holding company.

Risk Factors

Interest Rate Sensitivity Model Simulations show slight asset sensitivity decrease; 100 basis point rate increase projects only a 1.3% positive variance in net interest income.
Deposit Funding Cost Pressure Average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 47 bps QTD, but competition may negatively impact future deposit pricing access.
Credit Quality Deterioration Risk While asset quality is strong, management notes potential impairment risk from economic uncertainty affecting borrower repayment capabilities.
Regulatory Reporting Changes Adoption of ASU 2023-07 for segment reporting is effective for interim periods in 2025, requiring ongoing compliance adjustments.

Outlook

Future NIM Outlook Projections imply potential 50 basis point decrease in Federal Funds rate by year-end 2025, which could pressure future net interest income.
Loan Portfolio Growth Focus Average loan volume increased 6.8% QTD, driven by utilizing available funds for originations, supporting continued asset growth expectations.
Non-Interest Income Drivers Trust and investment management fees increased 9.3% QTD, supported by higher equity valuations and growth in managed asset values.
Managing Credit Loss Estimates Allowance methodology relies heavily on subjective judgment and macroeconomic forecasts, subject to change based on evolving economic conditions.
