  • Period end deposits (excluding brokered deposits)(1) increased $39.6 million, or 10% annualized, from March 31, 2024, and $99.7 million, or 6%, from December 31, 2023.

  • The efficiency ratio improved to 59.92% from 61.62% in the first quarter of 2024.

  • Annualized net charge-offs to average loans totaled 0.0% for the second quarter and first quarter of 2024. Nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.16% as of June 30, 2024, compared to 0.06% as of March 31, 2024.

  • Net income totaled $3.5 million, a decrease of $1.8 million from the first quarter of 2024, and a decrease of $1.3 million from the second quarter of 2023. A $3.0 million increase in the provision for credit losses was a primary contributor to the decrease.

"We continue to make solid progress on our overall goal for this year of strengthening our balance sheet. This included another quarter of the growth in core deposits outpacing our growth in loans. Total deposits, excluding brokered, increased approximately $40 million while loans grew approximately $24 million in the second quarter. Net income in the second quarter was negatively impacted by a $2.4 million specific reserve on a nonperforming venture-backed loan. Pre-tax, pre-provision income(1) in the second quarter was $7.9 million, compared to $7.8 million in the first quarter. Overall credit quality remains solid with criticized and classified loans representing 2.0% of total loans," said Mark Mordell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"Our new clients as well as existing clients continue to move deposits from noninterest bearing accounts to interest earning accounts. This shift was elevated in the second quarter, which negatively impacted our net interest margin," added Mr. Mordell.

Income Statement

Taxable equivalent net interest income(1) totaled $18.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $360,000, or 2%, from the first quarter of 2024, and an increase of $857,000, or 5%, from the second quarter of 2023. The taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.39% in the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of 15 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2024, and a decrease of 3 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in taxable equivalent net interest income and net interest margin compared to the prior quarter was primarily driven by a decrease in noninterest bearing deposits and an overall increase in the cost of deposits and borrowings. The increase in borrowing costs included the renewal of $244.0 million in borrowings from the Bank Term Funding Program during the first quarter of 2024.
