"We are pleased with our solid start to 2024, with the focus of strengthening our balance sheet and improving our performance metrics. Our first quarter results include deposit growth of $104 million and loan growth of $42 million. This strong growth, along with the steps we took in the fourth quarter made an impact in both areas. Our net interest margin was 3.54% in the first quarter and has now expanded 18 basis points from the third quarter of 2023. Credit quality continues to remain strong with no net charge-offs in the first quarter and nonperforming assets totaling only 6 basis points of total loans," said Mark Mordell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"Our bankers along with our enhanced treasury management team have been focused on increasing our revenue growth over the last several quarters. This has resulted in the 52% increase in service charge and foreign exchange fee income since the first quarter of 2023," added Mr. Mordell.

Income Statement

Taxable equivalent net interest income(1) totaled $18.9 million for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $465,000, or 3%, from the fourth quarter of 2023, and a decrease of $1.2 million, or 6%, from the first quarter of 2023. The taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.54% in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 5 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, and a decrease of 39 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2023. The increase in taxable equivalent net interest income and net interest margin compared to the prior quarter was primarily driven by an overall increase in loan balances and a decrease in investment securities. The decrease in taxable equivalent net interest margin compared to the same period one year ago was primarily driven by an increase in high-cost short-term borrowings replacing lower-cost deposits, interest bearing deposits replacing no-cost demand deposits, and an overall increase in deposit costs, partially offset by an increase in loan yields and average loan balances.
