INCOME STATEMENT

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter 2024 was $15.5 million, an increase of $112 thousand, or 0.7%, quarter over quarter, but a decrease of $2.5 million, or 14.1% compared to the third quarter 2023.

Net interest income for the nine months ended on September 30, 2024 was $46.6 million, a decrease of $9.2 million or 16.4% compared to the same period last year. The decrease in net interest income was due to periodic sales of SBA loans and higher cost of interest-bearing deposits as maturing time deposits were rolled over into higher interest rate CDs.

Net Interest Margin

The net interest margin for the third quarter 2024 was 3.71% compared to 3.77% in the prior quarter. The decrease in the net interest margin compared to the second quarter was due to higher cost of funds.
