CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would,” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words, or such other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs, and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
There are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the following:
•volatility and direction of market interest rates;
•business and economic conditions generally, in the financial services industry, nationally, and within our local market areas;
•government intervention in the U.S. financial system, including the effects of recent and future legislative, tax, accounting, and regulatory actions and reforms, including the Economic Aid Act, which established the SBA PPP, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, and other stimulus legislation or changes in banking, securities, accounting, and tax laws and regulations, and their application by our regulators;
•changes in management personnel;
•increased competition in the financial services industry, particularly from regional and national institutions;
•our ability to maintain important deposit customer relationships and our reputation, and to otherwise avoid liquidity risks;
•factors that can impact the performance of our loan portfolio, including real estate values and liquidity in our primary market areas, the financial health of our commercial borrowers, and the success of construction projects that we finance, including any loans acquired in acquisition transactions;
•changes in the value of collateral securing our loans;
•risks associated with system failures or failures to protect against cybersecurity threats, such as breaches of our network security;
•deterioration of our asset quality;
•the adequacy of our reserves, including our ACL;
•operational risks associated with our business;
•natural disasters and adverse weather, acts of terrorism, pandemics, an outbreak of hostilities, including the ongoing military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas, as well as the current tensions with China, or other international or domestic calamities, and other matters beyond our control;
•our ability to prudently manage our growth and execute our strategy;
•compliance with the extensive regulatory framework that applies to us;
•changes in the laws, rules, regulations, interpretations, or policies relating to financial institutions, accounting, tax, trade, monetary, and fiscal matters; and
•the risk factors found in “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as well as in “Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Report and other reports and documents we file from time to time with the SEC.
The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this Report. Additional information on these and other risk factors can be found in “Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Report and in “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. New risks emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict what risks will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These changes in presentation did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The guidance issued in this update requires improvement to the disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses and other segment items. Even though the Company has a single reportable segment, all the disclosures required by this update are required. Under this guidance, public entities are required to disclose segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment that are currently required annually. The goal of these disclosures is to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance in this update provides enhanced transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendment addresses investor requests for income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The guidance requires public business entities to disclose in their rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state, and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if the items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance also requires all entities to disclose annually income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. Investors anticipate theses disclosures will provide an understanding of an entity’s exposures to changes in tax legislation and allow investors to better assess income tax information that affects cash flow forecasts and capital allocation decisions, as well as identify opportunities to increase future cash flows. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2024-01, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. The guidance issued in this update was designed to improve GAAP by adding an illustrative example that clarifies when the scope guidance of Topic 718 should be applied, since diversity in practice exists. This ASU does not change existing guidance. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented or prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2024-02, Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concept Statements. The guidance issued in this update amends the codification to remove references to various Financial Accounting Standards Board Concept Statements. The codification will be updated to clarify or correct unintended application of guidance that

are not expected to have any significant effect on current accounting practice or cost to most entities. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Securities AFS and Securities HTM
Securities AFS and securities HTM are debt securities. Securities AFS are held for indefinite periods of time and are carried at estimated fair value. As of March 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of securities AFS was $546.0 million. The net unrealized loss on securities AFS increased $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, resulting in a net unrealized loss of $65.3 million as of March 31, 2024.
Securities HTM, which the Company has the intent and ability to hold until maturity, are carried at amortized cost. As of March 31, 2024, the amortized cost of securities HTM was $139.3 million.
Investment activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024, included $39.5 million in maturities, principal repayments, and calls, partially offset by $16.6 million of securities purchased. There were no sales of securities AFS, and there were no

Accounting for Credit Losses – Securities AFS and Securities HTM
The Company evaluates securities AFS for impairment when there has been a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of a security to determine whether there is a credit loss associated with the decline in fair value on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Due to the zero credit loss assumption and the considerations applied to the securities AFS, there was no
Due to the zero credit loss assumption on the securities HTM portfolio, there was no
Accrued interest receivable totaled $2.9 million and $3.0 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, for securities AFS and securities HTM and was reported in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets.

As of March 31, 2023, no loan modifications were made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Credit Quality Indicators
Loans are categorized based on the degree of risk inherent in the credit and the ability of the borrower to service the debt. A description of the general characteristics of the Bank’s risk rating grades follows:
Pass - These loans are of satisfactory quality and do not require a more severe classification.
Special mention - This category includes loans with potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan. However, the loss potential does not warrant substandard classification.
Substandard - Loans in this category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize normal repayment of principal and interest. Prompt corrective action is required to reduce exposure and to assure adequate remedial actions are taken by the borrower. If these weaknesses do not improve, loss is possible.
Doubtful - Loans in this category have well-defined weaknesses that make full collection improbable.
Loss - Loans classified in this category are considered uncollectible and charged-off to the ACL.

Commitments to Extend Credit
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer if all conditions of the commitment have been met. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s evaluation of the customer’s ability to repay. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, unfunded loan commitments totaled approximately $390.0 million and $372.0 million, respectively.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including
19
commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, commitments under standby letters of credit totaled approximately $14.1 million and $15.4 million, respectively. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
4. Deposits
Deposits were $2.75 billion and $2.80 billion as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The $56.0 million decrease was primarily a result of the seasonal outflow of funds from public entity customers, partially offset by an increase in new consumer time deposit activity. Deposits are summarized below:

Collateral for Deposits
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, securities and FHLB letters of credit with values of approximately $226.1 million and $287.4 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral to secure public entity deposits.
5. Other Borrowed Funds
6. Contingencies
The Company and the Bank are involved, from time to time, in various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims or litigation cannot be determined at this time, in the opinion of management, neither the Company nor the Bank are involved in such legal proceedings that the resolution is expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
7. Fair Value
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Fair Value Disclosure
Securities AFS, loans HFS, and equity securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as collateral dependent loans, foreclosed assets, and other certain assets. The nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures indicates that assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value according to a fair value hierarchy comprised of three levels:
•Level 1 pricing represents quotes on the exact financial instrument that is traded in active markets. Quoted prices on actively traded equities, for example, are in this category.
20
•Level 2 pricing is derived from observable data including market spreads, current and projected rates, prepayment data, and credit quality. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 pricing is derived without the use of observable data. In such cases, mark-to-model strategies are typically employed. Often, these types of instruments have no active market, possess unique characteristics, and are thinly traded.
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:
Securities AFS and Equity Securities: The fair values for securities AFS are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).
Loans HFS: Residential mortgage loans originated and held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value on an individual basis. The fair values of mortgage loans HFS are based on commitments on hand from investors within the secondary market for loans with similar characteristics. As such, the fair value adjustments for mortgage loans HFS are recurring Level 2.
Loans HFI: The Company does not record loans HFI at fair value on a recurring basis. Loans for which it was probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are evaluated individually to determine if any credit loss exists. For loans evaluated on an individual basis that are collateral dependent, the fair value is estimated by applying a discount factor to the collateral value then deducting the estimated cost to sell. For loans evaluated on an individual basis that are not collateral dependent, the discounted cash flow method is utilized to determine the fair value. When a loan experiences a credit loss with specific allocated losses determined by the fair value method, the Company considers the collateral dependent loan as nonrecurring Level 3.
Foreclosed Assets: Foreclosed assets, consisting of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, are reported at fair value, determined on the basis of current appraisals, comparable sales, and other estimates of value obtained principally from independent sources, adjusted for estimated selling costs (Level 2). However, foreclosed assets are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because management has qualitatively applied a discount due to the size, supply of inventory, and the incremental discounts applied to the appraisals. Management also considers other factors, including changes in absorption rates, length of time the property has been on the market, and anticipated sales values, which have resulted in adjustments to the collateral value estimates indicated in certain appraisals.

There were no transfers between Level 1, 2, or 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or the year ended December 31, 2023.
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. Financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include certain individually evaluated collateral dependent loans reported at fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Prior to foreclosure of these loans, fair value of the collateral is estimated using Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria.
The table below presents certain individually evaluated collateral dependent loans that were remeasured and reported at fair value through the ACL based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral during the reported periods:

The Company had no financial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.
Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities: Certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These include certain foreclosed assets, which are remeasured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for credit losses upon initial recognition as a foreclosed asset. Subsequent to their initial recognition, certain foreclosed assets are remeasured at fair value through an adjustment included in other noninterest income. The fair value of foreclosed assets is estimated using Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria less estimated selling costs.
The following table presents foreclosed assets that were remeasured and reported at fair value during the reported periods:

8. Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
Basel III Capital Requirements
The Company and the Bank are subject to Basel III capital guidelines. Basel III requires the Company and the Bank to maintain certain minimum ratios to meet capital adequacy requirements. It is management’s belief that, as of March 31, 2024, both the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements under Basel III. Management expects that the capital ratios for the Company and the Bank under Basel III will continue to exceed capital adequacy requirements. Management believes that, as of March 31, 2024, the Bank is well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

Bank holding companies that qualify as “small bank holding companies” under the Policy Statement are exempt from the Federal Reserve’s consolidated capital adequacy ratios at the holding company level and instead are evaluated at the bank level. In May 2018, the Economic Growth Act was enacted. One of the Economic Growth Act’s highlights, with implications for us, was the asset threshold under the Policy Statement being increased from $1.0 billion to $3.0 billion, which benefits bank holding companies by, among various other items, allowing for an 18-month safety and soundness examination cycle as opposed to a 12-month examination cycle, changing to scaled biannual regulatory reporting requirements as opposed to quarterly regulatory reporting requirements, and not subjecting bank holding companies to capital adequacy guidelines on a consolidated basis. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company no longer receives any benefits under the Policy Statement and became subject to consolidated capital requirements. As of the June 30, 2023 measurement date, the Company had more than $3.0 billion in assets and remains subject to consolidated capital requirements.

Community Bank Leverage Ratio Framework
As part of the directive under the Economic Growth Act, in September 2019, the FDIC and other federal bank regulatory agencies approved the CBLR framework. This optional framework became effective January 1, 2020, and is available to the Company and the Bank as an alternative to the Basel III risk-based capital framework. The CBLR framework provides for a simple measure of capital adequacy for certain community banking organizations. Specifically, depository institutions and depository institution holding companies that have less than $10.0 billion in total consolidated assets and meet other qualifying criteria, including a Tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9.00%, are considered qualifying community banking organizations eligible to opt into the CBLR framework and replace the applicable Basel III risk-based capital requirements.
24
As of March 31, 2024, the Company and the Bank qualify for the CBLR framework. Management does not intend to utilize the CBLR framework.
9. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, after giving retroactive effect to stock splits. Diluted EPS includes accrued but unissued shares relating to the Director Compensation Program, stock options, and restricted stock determined using the treasury stock method. The dilutive EPS calculation assumes all outstanding stock options to purchase common stock have been exercised at the beginning of the year, and the pro forma proceeds from the exercised options and restricted stock are used to purchase common stock at the average fair market valuation price.
The computations of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the Company were as follows:

Stock Repurchases
On December 14, 2023, the Company’s board of directors approved the renewal of its 2023 stock repurchase program that was completed in the fourth quarter of 2023 after reaching its purchase limit. The renewed program authorizes the Company to purchase up to $5.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices and based on market conditions, or in privately negotiated transactions. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased no shares of its common stock under the stock repurchase program. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $5.0 million available for repurchasing its common stock under this program.
On March 13, 2024, the Company entered into a privately negotiated stock repurchase agreement for the purchase of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a total purchase price of $10.0 million. The repurchase was supplemental to the Company’s $5.0 million stock repurchase program and did not impact the amount of permitted repurchases thereunder.
AOCI - Transfer of Unrealized Gain (Loss) of Securities AFS and HTM
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company reclassified $166.3 million, net of $17.9 million of unrealized loss, from AFS to HTM. The securities were transferred at fair value, which became the cost basis for the securities HTM. At the date of the transfer, the net unrealized loss of $17.9 million, of which $14.2 million, net of tax, was included in AOCI and is being amortized over the remaining life of the securities as a yield adjustment in a manner consistent with the amortization or accretion of the original purchase premium or discount on the associated security. There were no gains or losses recognized as a result of the transfer. As of March 31, 2024, the net unamortized, unrealized loss remaining on the transferred securities included in the consolidated balance sheets totaled $14.1 million, of which $11.1 million, net of tax, was included in AOCI.

FIRST QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
In the first quarter of 2024, the Company had a consistent net interest margin and consistent earnings, higher loans, and slightly lower deposits and assets. A significant stock buyback transaction was completed, and the quarterly dividend was increased to $0.09 per common share.
•Net income for the first quarter of 2024 was $8.2 million, or $1.16 diluted EPS, a decrease of $104,000, or 1.3%, compared to $8.3 million, or $1.16 diluted EPS, for the fourth quarter of 2023. Net income in the first quarter benefited from approximately $800,000 of nonrecurring noninterest income payments and operating expense reduction items.
•For the first quarter of 2024, the return on assets was 1.07%, and the return on equity was 10.77%.
•Net interest income and net interest margin FTE were fairly consistent between the first quarter of 2024 and the prior quarter. Net interest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $21.4 million compared to $21.3 million for the prior quarter. Net interest margin FTE for the first quarter of 2024 was 2.83% compared to 2.82% for the prior quarter. These results were due to improved yields on securities and loans offset by higher deposit costs.
•As of March 31, 2024, assets were $3.07 billion, which was $55.5 million, or 1.8%, lower than December 31, 2023. The decrease was due to a $56.0 million decrease in deposits.
•Deposits totaled $2.75 billion as of March 31, 2024, a decrease of $56.0 million, or 2.0%, compared to $2.80 billion as of December 31, 2023. This decrease was mainly due to the seasonal outflow of funds from public entity customers.
•As of March 31, 2024, loans HFI were $2.04 billion, an increase of $45.2 million, or 2.3%, compared to $1.99 billion as of December 31, 2023. The growth in loans HFI was primarily a result of new loan activity in various markets across Louisiana.
•In the first quarter of 2024, average liquid assets, which are cash and cash equivalents, decreased $26.6 million to $254.7 million, compared to $281.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The liquid assets to assets ratio was 7.48% as of March 31, 2024.
26
•As of March 31, 2024, NPAs were $2.5 million, or 0.08% of assets, and the ACL was $21.6 million, or 1.06% of loans HFI.
•We paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per common share in the first quarter of 2024, up from $0.08 per common share for each quarter in 2023.
•On March 13, 2024, the Company entered into a privately negotiated stock repurchase agreement for the purchase of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a total purchase price of $10.0 million. This repurchase was supplemental to the Company’s publicly announced stock repurchase program, and as of March 31, 2024, all $5.0 million of the 2024 stock repurchase program was available. The stock repurchase program is effective through December 31, 2024.
•As of March 31, 2024, capital levels were strong with a stockholders’ equity to assets ratio of 9.74%, a leverage ratio of 11.44%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 17.84%.
•In January of 2024, Michael J. Brown, CFA, was appointed to the boards of directors of each the Company and the Bank. Mr. Brown’s most recent roles include serving as President of Regional Banking for First Horizon Bank and Chief Operating Officer for IBERIABANK.
•Recently, S&P Global Market Intelligence ranked the Bank 15th of the top 50 best-performing community banks in 2023 with assets between $3.0 and $10.0 billion.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income for the first quarter of 2024 was $8.2 million, or $1.16 diluted EPS, a decrease of $104,000, or 1.3%, compared to $8.3 million, or $1.16 diluted EPS, for the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in net income was due to a $259,000 decrease in noninterest income, a $50,000 increase in the provision for credit losses, and a $14,000 increase in income tax expense, partially offset by a $150,000 decrease in operating expenses and a $69,000 increase in net interest income. The return on assets for the first quarter of 2024 was 1.07%, compared to 1.08% for the fourth quarter of 2023. The return on equity was 10.77% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 11.63% for the fourth quarter of 2023. Our efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2024 was 60.37%, compared to 60.51% for the fourth quarter of 2023.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $8.2 million, or $1.16 diluted EPS, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 14.7%, compared to $9.6 million, or $1.33 diluted EPS, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net income was due to a $1.5 million decrease in net interest income, a $385,000 increase in operating expenses, and a $300,000 increase in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by a $588,000 increase in noninterest income and a $233,000 decrease in income tax expense. The return on assets for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was 1.07%, compared to 1.28% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The return on equity was 10.77% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 14.33% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Our efficiency ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was 60.37%, compared to 56.84% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income. Fluctuations in market interest rates impact the yield on interest-earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in the amount and type of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact our net interest income. To evaluate net interest income, we measure and monitor: (1) yields on loans and other interest-earning assets; (2) the cost of deposits and other funding sources; (3) net interest spread; and (4) net interest margin. Since noninterest-bearing sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and stockholders’ equity, also fund interest-earning assets, net interest margin includes the benefit of these noninterest-bearing funding sources.
In 2023, the interest rate environment continued to trend upward. The FOMC increased the federal funds rate by 50 bps in the first quarter of 2023, by 25 bps in the second and third quarters of 2023, and kept the rate consistent through the first quarter of 2024 with a target range of 5.25%-5.50%. The average effective federal funds rate for the first quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023 was 5.33% compared to 4.52% for the first quarter of 2023. The net interest income and net interest margin FTE for the first quarter of 2024 were fairly consistent with the prior quarter. However, compared to the first quarter of 2023, both the net interest income and net interest margin FTE for the first quarter of 2024 were impacted by the federal funds rate increases in 2023.
First Quarter of 2024 vs. Fourth Quarter of 2023
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $21.4 million, which was $69,000, or 0.3%, higher than the fourth quarter of 2023, due to a $977,000 increase in interest and dividend income, offset by a $908,000 increase in interest expense. The increase in interest and dividend income was due to higher interest income on loans and securities, partially offset by lower interest income on short-term liquid assets. Loan income increased $995,000 due to higher rates on new and renewed loans, combined with higher balances in loans HFI. The average rate on new and renewed loans was 7.56% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 7.39% for the prior quarter. Interest income on securities increased $408,000, primarily due to higher yields on securities recently purchased. Interest income on short-term liquid assets decreased due to lower balances in these accounts during the first quarter. The increase in interest expense was due to higher rates on new and renewed time deposits and larger balances in certain higher cost deposit accounts.
The net interest margin FTE increased one bp to 2.83% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 2.82% for the prior quarter. This increase was due to improved yields on securities and loans, offset by higher deposit costs. The yield on securities increased 22 bps, due to reinvesting securities cash flows received into new securities at higher yields. The yield on loans increased 15 bps due to higher rates on new and renewed loans. These increases were largely offset by a 33 bp increase in the rate on time deposits during the first quarter. The cost of deposits increased 15 bps to 1.70% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 1.55% for the previous quarter.
In the first quarter of 2024, the target range for the federal funds rate remained at 5.25%-5.50%. The market’s expectation is that the FOMC will lower the federal funds rate in 2024. During the remainder of 2024, we anticipate receiving approximately $100.0 million in securities cash flows. We expect to redeploy these cash flows into higher yielding assets, which should benefit both net interest income and net interest margin FTE. As of March 31, 2024, floating rate loans were 13.3% of loans HFI, and floating rate transaction deposits were 6.4% of interest-bearing transaction deposits. Depending on balance sheet activity and the movement in interest rates, we expect the net interest margin FTE to improve slightly throughout 2024.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $21.4 million, which was $1.5 million, or 6.7%, lower than $22.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net interest income decreased due to a $6.8 million increase in interest expense, partially offset by a $5.3 million increase in interest and dividend income.
The increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, was due to an increase in deposit rates as we responded to deposit rate pressure, combined with larger balances in higher cost deposit accounts. During 2023, we experienced a change in the deposit mix due to customers moving deposits from lower yielding categories to higher yielding categories. The increase in interest and dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period prior year, was primarily due to higher interest income on loans. Loan income increased $4.1 million due to higher rates on new, renewed, and floating rate loans and a $96.7 million increase in the average balance of loans, when compared to the same period prior year.
Net interest margin FTE decreased 30 bps to 2.83% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from 3.13% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to the increase in the cost of deposits exceeding the increase in the yield on earning assets. The cost of deposits increased 99 bps to 1.70% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from 0.71% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to a 138 bp increase in the rate on interest-bearing deposits, combined with
30
customers moving deposits from lower yielding categories to higher yielding categories in 2023. Within total interest-bearing deposits, the rate on time deposits and interest-bearing transaction deposits increased 213 and 88 bps, respectively. These rates increased as we continued to respond to deposit rate pressure in 2023.
The net interest margin FTE was positively impacted for the three months ended March 31, 2024, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, by the increase in the yield on earning assets. The yield on loans increased 55 bps due to higher rates on new, renewed, and floating rate loans due to the higher interest rate environment. The yield on securities increased 43 bps for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to reinvesting securities cash flows received into new securities at higher yields. In addition, the yield on short-term liquid assets increased 82 bps due to the FOMC’s increases to the target federal funds range, compared to the same period prior year.

Rate/Volume Analysis
Increases and decreases in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average balances (volume) of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates. The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the periods presented. It distinguishes between the changes related to outstanding balances and those due to changes in interest rates.

(1)The change in interest attributable to rate has been determined by applying the change in rate between periods to average balances outstanding in the earlier period. The change in interest due to volume has been determined by applying the rate from the earlier period to the change in average balances outstanding between periods. Changes attributable to both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated to rate.
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses is the amount necessary to maintain the ACL at a level considered appropriate by management. Factors impacting the provision include loan portfolio growth, changes in the quality and composition of the loan portfolio, the level of nonperforming loans, delinquency and charge-off trends, and current economic conditions.
The table below presents, for the periods indicated, the provision for credit losses:
| For the Three Months Ended | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Provision for credit losses | $ | 300 | $ | 250 | $ | 50 | 20.0 | % | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2024 was $300,000, which was $50,000 higher than the provision for credit losses of $250,000 for the fourth quarter of 2023. The provision in the first quarter was due to potential economic challenges resulting from the current inflationary environment, changing monetary policy, and loan growth. We will continue to evaluate future provision needs in relation to current economic situations, loan growth, trends in asset quality, forecasted information, and other conditions influencing loss expectations.

32
The provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2024 was $300,000 due to potential economic challenges resulting from the current inflationary environment, changing monetary policy, and loan growth. Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted ASC 326, the CECL methodology for estimating credit losses. For the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 326, we recorded a $569,000, net of tax, decrease to stockholders’ equity as of January 1, 2023. No provision expense was recorded for the first quarter of 2023 under the new CECL methodology.
Noninterest Income
Our primary sources of noninterest income are fees related to the sale of mortgage loans, service charges on deposit accounts, debit card fees, brokerage income from advisory services, and other loan and deposit fees.
First Quarter of 2024 vs. Fourth Quarter of 2023
Noninterest income decreased $259,000 to $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $5.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in noninterest income was mainly due to a loss on equity securities and decreases in service charges on deposit accounts, loan and deposit income, and income from SBIC limited partnerships of which Red River Bank is a member, partially offset by an increase in net debit card income.
The table below presents, for the periods indicated, the major categories of noninterest income:

Equity securities are an investment in a CRA mutual fund consisting primarily of bonds. The gain or loss on equity securities is a fair value adjustment primarily driven by changes in the interest rate environment. Due to fluctuations in market rates between quarters, equity securities had a loss of $31,000 for the first quarter of 2024, compared to a gain of $132,000 for the fourth quarter of 2023.
Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $91,000 to $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $1.5 million for the previous quarter. This decrease was mainly due to adjustments to the deposit fee schedule in the first quarter of 2024.
Loan and deposit income decreased $83,000 to $492,000 for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $575,000 for the prior quarter. This decrease was primarily related to less annual renewals of letters of credit in the first quarter of 2024, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.
SBIC income for the first quarter of 2024 was $352,000, compared to $393,000 for the previous quarter. This decrease was primarily due to lower distributions from these partnerships in the first quarter. We received distribution payments of $114,000 in the first quarter of 2024 and $166,000 in the fourth quarter of 2023, in addition to the normal income from these partnerships.
Debit card income, net, increased $147,000 to $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $875,000 for the previous quarter. We terminated our existing debit card provider contract, which resulted in $145,000 of nonrecurring income for the first quarter of 2024. In January 2024, a newly negotiated debit card provider contract became effective.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
Noninterest income increased $588,000 to $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in noninterest income was mainly due to higher mortgage and brokerage income, income from SBIC limited partnerships of which Red River Bank is a member, and net debit card income.

Mortgage loan income increased $181,000 to $456,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period prior year due to increased purchase activity.
Brokerage income increased $180,000 to $987,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period prior year. This increase was primarily due to investing activities of new clients. Assets under management were $1.07 billion and $965.2 million as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
SBIC income increased $172,000 to $352,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period prior year primarily due to a distribution payment of $114,000 and higher operating income being distributed by the SBIC in the first quarter of 2024. No distribution payment was received in the first quarter of 2023.
Debit card income, net, increased $88,000 to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $934,000 for the same period prior year due to the termination of our existing debit card provider contract in the first quarter of 2024, which resulted in $145,000 of nonrecurring income.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses are composed of all employee expenses and costs associated with operating our facilities, obtaining and retaining customer relationships, and providing services.
First Quarter of 2024 vs. Fourth Quarter of 2023
Operating expenses decreased $150,000 to $15.9 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $16.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in operating expenses was due to lower loan and deposit expenses and data processing expense, partially offset by higher personnel expenses and other taxes.

Loan and deposit expenses decreased $298,000 to ($42,000) for the first quarter of 2024, compared to the prior quarter. This decrease was primarily due to the receipt of a $262,000 negotiated, variable rebate from a vendor in the first quarter of 2024.
Data processing expense decreased $284,000 to $347,000 for the first quarter of 2024, compared to the prior quarter. This decrease was attributable to receipt of a $284,000 periodic refund from our data processing center in the first quarter of 2024.
Personnel expense increased $317,000 to $9.6 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to the prior quarter. This increase was primarily due to net staff changes, restarting of payroll tax expense, and increased revenue-based commission compensation. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had 358 and 362 total employees, respectively.
Other taxes increased $58,000 to $737,000 for the first quarter of 2024, compared to the prior quarter. This increase was primarily due to higher stock repurchase tax expense related to higher stock repurchases in the first quarter of 2024.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
Operating expenses increased $385,000 to $15.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in operating expenses was mainly due to higher personnel expenses, legal and professional expenses, and other taxes, partially offset by lower loan and deposit expenses and occupancy and equipment expenses.

Personnel expenses increased $550,000 to $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period prior year. This increase was primarily due to an increase in headcount and increased revenue-based commission compensation, offset by a decrease in medical insurance expense. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, we had 358 and 352 total employees, respectively.
Legal and professional expenses increased $102,000 to $618,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period prior year. This increase was primarily due to higher contracted services as well as higher professional and advisory services mainly related to a newly negotiated debit card provider contract effective January 2024.
Other taxes increased $51,000 to $737,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period prior year. This increase was primarily due to higher stock repurchase tax expense related to higher stock repurchases in the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by a decrease in State of Louisiana bank stock tax resulting from lower deposit account balances and lower net income for the applicable tax years.
Loan and deposit expenses decreased $247,000 to ($42,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period prior year. This decrease was primarily due to the receipt of a $262,000 negotiated, variable rebate from a vendor in the first quarter of 2024.
Occupancy and equipment expenses decreased $101,000 to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period prior year. This decrease was primarily due to $161,000 of nonrecurring expenses in the first quarter of 2023 related to opening our new operations center building, partially offset by a full period of expenses in the first quarter of 2024 related to properties that were expanded or opened in 2023.
Income Tax Expense
The amount of income tax expense is influenced by the amounts of our pre-tax income, tax-exempt income, and other nondeductible expenses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates in effect for the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
Our accrued tax rate is based on an annualized projection and changes considering our most recent financial results and balances. Our effective income tax rates have differed from the U.S. statutory rate due to the effect of tax-exempt income from loans, securities, life insurance policies, income tax effects associated with stock-based compensation, and permanent and temporary tax differences.
The table below presents, for the periods indicated, income tax expense:

For the first quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023, income tax expense remained consistent at $1.9 million. Income tax expense was impacted by a slight increase to our accrued tax rate during the first quarter of 2024. Our effective income tax rates for the first quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023, were 19.1% and 18.8%, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, income tax expense totaled $1.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income. Our effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, were 19.1% and 18.4%, respectively.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
As of March 31, 2024, assets were $3.07 billion, which was $55.5 million, or 1.8%, lower than $3.13 billion as of December 31, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in deposits. Total deposits decreased $56.0 million, or 2.0%, to $2.75 billion as of March 31, 2024, from $2.80 billion as of December 31, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $75.6 million, or 24.8%, to $229.8 million and were 7.48% of assets as of March 31, 2024. Total securities decreased $26.1 million, or 3.6%, to $688.2 million and were 22.39% of assets as of March 31, 2024. During the first three months of the year, loans HFI increased $45.2 million, or 2.3%, to $2.04 billion as of March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we had no borrowings. Stockholders’ equity decreased $4.5 million during the first three months of 2024 to $299.3 million as of March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the loans HFI to deposits ratio was 74.22%, compared to 71.13% as of December 31, 2023, and the noninterest-bearing deposits to total deposits ratio was 32.61%, compared to 32.71% as of December 31, 2023.
Interest-bearing Deposits in Other Banks
Interest-bearing deposits in other banks were the third-largest component of earning assets as of March 31, 2024. Excess liquidity that is not being deployed into loans or securities is placed in these accounts. As of March 31, 2024, interest-bearing deposits in other banks were $210.4 million and were 6.8% of assets, a decrease of $42.0 million, or 16.6%, compared to $252.4 million and 8.1% of assets as of December 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the outflow of customer deposits during the first quarter of 2024.
Securities
Our securities portfolio is the second-largest component of earning assets and provides a significant source of revenue. Securities are classified as AFS, HTM, and equity securities. As of March 31, 2024, our total securities portfolio was 22.4% of assets. It is designed primarily to provide and maintain liquidity, generate a favorable return on investments without incurring unnecessary interest rate and credit risk, and complement our lending activities. We may invest in various types of liquid assets that are permissible under governing regulations and approved by our investment policy, which include U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. government agency obligations, certificates of deposit of insured domestic banks, mortgage-backed and mortgage-related securities, corporate notes having an investment rating of “A” or better, municipal bonds, and certain equity securities.
Securities AFS and Securities HTM
Securities AFS and securities HTM are debt securities. Total debt securities on the consolidated balance sheets were $685.3 million as of March 31, 2024, a decrease of $26.0 million, or 3.7%, from $711.3 million as of December 31, 2023.
Securities AFS are held for indefinite periods of time and are carried at estimated fair value. As of March 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of securities AFS was $546.0 million. The carrying values of our securities AFS are adjusted for unrealized gain or loss, and any unrealized gain or loss is reported on an after-tax basis as a component of AOCI in stockholders’ equity. The net unrealized loss on securities AFS increased $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, resulting in a net unrealized loss of $65.3 million as of March 31, 2024, compared to a net unrealized loss of $62.2 million as of December 31, 2023.
Securities HTM, which we have the intent and ability to hold until maturity, are carried at amortized cost. As of March 31, 2024, the amortized cost of securities HTM was $139.3 million. Securities HTM had an unrealized loss of $24.5 million as of March 31, 2024, compared to an unrealized loss of $22.2 million as of December 31, 2023.
Investment activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024, included $39.5 million in maturities, principal repayments, and calls, partially offset by $16.6 million of securities purchased. There were no sales of securities AFS, and there were no purchases or sales of securities HTM for the same period.
37
The securities portfolio tax-equivalent yield was 2.26% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 1.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in yield for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily due to reinvesting securities cash flows received between March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, into new securities at higher yields.
The contractual maturity of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations is not a reliable indicator of their expected lives because borrowers have the right to prepay their obligations at any time. Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are typically issued with stated principal amounts and are backed by pools of mortgage loans and other loans with varying maturities. The term of the underlying mortgages and loans may vary significantly due to the ability of a borrower to prepay. Monthly pay downs on mortgage-backed securities may cause the average lives of the securities to be much different than the stated contractual maturity. During a period of rising interest rates, fixed rate mortgage-backed securities are not likely to experience heavy prepayments of principal, and consequently, the average lives of these securities are typically lengthened. If interest rates begin to fall, prepayments may increase, thereby shortening the estimated average lives of these securities. As of March 31, 2024, the average life of our securities portfolio was 7.7 years with an estimated effective duration of 5.2 years. As of December 31, 2023, the average life of our securities portfolio was 7.1 years with an estimated effective duration of 5.0 years.
The following tables summarize the amortized cost and estimated fair value of our securities by type as of the dates indicated. As of March 31, 2024, other than securities issued by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises, our securities portfolio did not contain securities of any one issuer with an aggregate book value in excess of 10.0% of our stockholders’ equity.

Loan Portfolio
Our loan portfolio is our largest category of earning assets, and interest income earned on our loan portfolio is our primary source of income. We maintain a diversified loan portfolio with a focus on commercial real estate, one-to-four family residential, and commercial and industrial loans. As of March 31, 2024, loans HFI were $2.04 billion, an increase of $45.2 million, or 2.3%, compared to $1.99 billion as of December 31, 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, loans HFI increased primarily due to new loan activity in various markets across Louisiana.

The properties are primarily centered in low-rise suburban areas.
Industry Concentrations
Health care loans are our largest loan industry concentration and are made up of a diversified portfolio of health care providers. As of March 31, 2024, health care loans were $168.1 million, or 8.3% of loans HFI, compared to $153.8 million, or 7.7% of loans HFI, as of December 31, 2023. The average health care loan size was $368,000 as of March 31, 2024 and $334,000 as of December 31, 2023. Within the health care sector, loans to nursing and residential care facilities were 4.6% of loans HFI as of March 31, 2024, and 4.0% as of December 31, 2023. Loans to physician and dental practices were 3.5% of loans HFI as of March 31, 2024, and 3.6% as of December 31, 2023.
Energy loans were 1.8% of loans HFI as of March 31, 2024 and 1.7% of loans HFI as of December 31, 2023.

Nonperforming Assets
NPAs consist of nonperforming loans and property acquired through foreclosures or repossession. Nonperforming loans include loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more and loans that are on nonaccrual status. Loans are considered past due when principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments are due.
Asset quality is managed through disciplined underwriting policies, continual monitoring of loan performance, and focused management of NPAs. There can be no assurance, however, that the loan portfolio will not become subject to losses due to declines in economic conditions, deterioration in the financial condition of our borrowers, or a decline in the value of collateral.
40
NPAs totaled $2.5 million as of March 31, 2024, a decrease of $72,000, or 2.8%, from $2.6 million as of December 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the sale of a foreclosed asset. The ratio of NPAs to assets was 0.08% as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Potential Problem Loans
From a credit risk standpoint, we classify loans in one of five categories: pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful, or loss. Loan classifications reflect a judgment about the risk of default and loss associated with the loans. Classifications are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect the degree of risk and loss believed to be inherent in each loan. The methodology is structured so that reserve allocations are increased in accordance with deterioration in credit quality (and a corresponding increase in risk and loss) or decreased in accordance with improvement in credit quality (and a corresponding decrease in risk and loss).
Loans classified as pass are of satisfactory quality and do not require a more severe classification.
Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If these weaknesses are not corrected, repayment possibilities for the loan may deteriorate. However, the loss potential does not warrant substandard classification.
Loans classified as substandard have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize normal repayment of principal and interest. Prompt corrective action is required to reduce exposure and to assure adequate remedial actions are taken by the borrower. If these weaknesses do not improve, loss is possible.
Loans classified as doubtful have well-defined weaknesses that make full collection improbable.
Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and charged-off to the ACL.

Allowance for Credit Losses
In determining the ACL for loans HFI, we estimate losses on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics and risk profiles exist. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated individually and excluded from the collective evaluation. The ACL is determined using the CECL model, which considers relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
As of March 31, 2024, the ACL was $21.6 million, or 1.06% of loans HFI. As of December 31, 2023, the ACL totaled $21.3 million, or 1.07% of loans HFI. The $228,000 increase in the ACL for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was due to $300,000 from the provision for credit losses, partially offset by $72,000 of net charge-offs.
The provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2024 was $300,000 due to potential economic challenges resulting from the current inflationary environment, changing monetary policy, and loan growth. Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted ASC 326, the CECL methodology for estimating credit losses. For the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 326, we recorded a $569,000, net of tax, decrease to stockholders’ equity as of January 1, 2023. No provision expense was recorded for the first quarter of 2023 under the new CECL methodology. We will continue to evaluate future provision needs in relation to current economic situations, loan growth, trends in asset quality, forecasted information, and other conditions influencing loss expectations.

We believe that we have established our ACL in accordance with GAAP and that the ACL was adequate to provide for known and inherent losses in the portfolio at all times shown above. Future provisions for credit losses are subject to ongoing evaluations of the factors and loan portfolio risks, including economic pressures related to inflation, labor market and supply chain constraints, and natural disasters affecting the state of Louisiana. A decline in market area economic conditions, deterioration of asset quality, or growth in portfolio size could cause the allowance to become inadequate, and material additional provisions for credit losses could be required.
Deposits
Deposits are the primary funding source for loans and investments. We offer a variety of deposit products designed to attract and retain consumer, commercial, and public entity customers. These products consist of noninterest and interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, and time deposit accounts. Deposits are gathered from individuals, partnerships, corporations, and public entities located primarily in our market areas. We do not have any internet-sourced or brokered deposits.
Total deposits decreased $56.0 million, or 2.0%, to $2.75 billion as of March 31, 2024, from $2.80 billion as of December 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily a result of the seasonal outflow of funds from public entity customers, partially offset by an increase in new consumer time deposit activity. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased by $21.0 million, or 2.3%, to $895.4 million as of March 31, 2024. Noninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total deposits were 32.61% as of March 31, 2024, compared to 32.71% as of December 31, 2023. Interest-bearing deposits decreased by $35.0 million, or 1.9%, to $1.85 billion as of March 31, 2024.
Red River Bank has a granular, diverse deposit portfolio with customers in a variety of industries throughout Louisiana. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the average deposit account size was approximately $28,000.

We manage our interest expense on deposits through a deposit pricing strategy that is based on competitive pricing, economic conditions, and current or anticipated funding needs. We adjust deposit rates in part based upon our anticipated funding needs and liquidity position. We also consider the potential interest rate risk caused by extended maturities of time deposits when adjusting deposit rates.
Our average deposit balance was $2.76 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $12.0 million, or 0.4%, from $2.75 billion for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits and total deposits for the first quarter of 2024 was 2.54% and 1.70%, respectively, compared to 2.40% and 1.55% for the prior quarter, respectively. The increase in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits and total deposits in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the prior quarter was due to new time deposit activity. Also, as of March 31, 2024, 6.4% of interest-bearing transaction deposits had floating rates, which adjust with market rates.

As of March 31, 2024, our estimated uninsured deposits, which are the portion of deposit accounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limit (currently $250,000), were approximately $809.5 million, or 29.5% of total deposits, compared to $887.8 million, or 31.7% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2023. These amounts were estimated based on the same methodologies and assumptions used for regulatory reporting purposes. Also, as of March 31, 2024, our estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized public entity deposits, were approximately $635.7 million, or 23.2% of total deposits, compared to $643.6 million, or 23.0% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents of $229.8 million combined with our available borrowing capacity of $1.65 billion equaled 232.2% of our estimated uninsured deposits and 295.7% of our estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized public entity deposits.
The following table presents the amount of time deposits by account that are in excess of the FDIC insurance limit (currently $250,000) by time remaining until maturity for the period indicated:

Borrowings
Although deposits are our primary source of funds, we may, from time to time, utilize borrowings as a cost-effective source of funds when such borrowings can be invested at a positive interest rate spread for additional capacity to fund loan demand or to meet our liquidity needs. We established borrowing capacity with the FHLB, the Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window facility, and other correspondent banks to provide additional sources of operating funds. Our FHLB line of credit is collateralized by eligible Red River Bank loans. Our Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window line of credit is collateralized by eligible securities and eligible Red River Bank loans that are not pledged to the FHLB. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings under these agreements.
Stockholders’ Equity
Total stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2024, was $299.3 million compared to $303.9 million as of December 31, 2023. The $4.5 million, or 1.5%, decrease in stockholders’ equity was attributable to the repurchase of 200,000 shares of common stock for $10.0 million, a $2.2 million, net of tax, market adjustment to AOCI related to securities, and $638,000 in cash dividends, partially offset by $8.2 million of net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and $119,000 of stock compensation.
During the second quarter of 2022, we reclassified $166.3 million, net of $17.9 million of unrealized loss, from AFS to HTM. The securities were transferred at fair value, which became the cost basis for the securities HTM. At the date of the transfer, the net unrealized loss of $17.9 million, of which $14.2 million, net of tax, was included in AOCI and is being amortized over the remaining life of the securities as a yield adjustment in a manner consistent with the amortization or accretion of the original purchase premium or discount on the associated security. There were no gains or losses recognized as a result of the transfer. As of March 31, 2024, the net unamortized, unrealized loss remaining on the transferred securities included in the consolidated balance sheets totaled $14.1 million, of which $11.1 million, net of tax, was included in AOCI.
On December 14, 2023, our board of directors approved the renewal of the 2023 stock repurchase program that was completed in the fourth quarter of 2023 after reaching its purchase limit. The renewed program authorizes us to purchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices and based on market conditions, or in privately negotiated transactions. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased no shares of our common stock under the stock repurchase program. As of March 31, 2024, we had $5.0 million available for repurchasing our common stock under this program.
On March 13, 2024, we entered into a privately negotiated stock repurchase agreement for the purchase of 200,000 shares of our common stock for a total purchase price of $10.0 million. The repurchase was supplemental to our $5.0 million stock repurchase program and did not impact the amount of permitted repurchases thereunder.
Effective January 1, 2023, repurchases are subject to a nondeductible excise tax under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 equal to 1.0% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased, subject to certain limitations. While we may complete transactions subject to the new excise tax, we do not expect a material impact to our financial condition or results of operations

Regulatory Capital Requirements
Capital management consists of maintaining equity and other instruments that qualify as regulatory capital to support current and future operations. Banking regulators view capital levels as important indicators of an institution’s financial soundness. As a general matter, bank holding companies and FDIC-insured depository institutions are required to maintain minimum capital relative to the amount and types of assets they hold.
As we deploy our capital and continue to grow our operations, our capital levels may decrease depending on our level of earnings. However, we expect to monitor and control our growth in order to remain in compliance with all regulatory capital standards applicable to us.
For additional information on regulatory capital guidelines and limits for Red River Bank and Red River Bancshares, Inc., see “Item 1. Financial Statements - Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 8. Regulatory Capital Requirements.”
LIQUIDITY AND ASSET-LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2024, we had sufficient liquid assets available and $1.65 billion accessible from other liquidity sources.
Liquidity involves our ability to raise funds to support asset growth and potential acquisitions, reduce assets to meet deposit withdrawals and other payment obligations, maintain reserve requirements, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis and manage unexpected events. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the year ended December 31, 2023, liquidity needs were primarily met by core deposits, security and loan maturities, and cash flows from amortizing security and loan portfolios. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit outflows, mortgage prepayments, and prepayments on amortizing securities are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and the competitive environment in which we operate; therefore, these cash flows are monitored regularly.
Liquidity levels are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period. Access to purchased funds from correspondent banks and overnight advances from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta are also available. Purchased funds from correspondent banks and overnight advances can be utilized to meet funding obligations.
Our primary source of funds is deposits, and our primary use of funds is the funding of loans. We invest excess deposits in interest-earning deposit accounts at other banks or at the Federal Reserve, federal funds sold, securities, or other short-term liquid investments until the deposits are needed to fund loan growth or other obligations. Our average deposits increased $33.4 million, or 1.2%, for the first quarter of 2024, compared to the average deposits for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in average total deposits was primarily due to new time deposit activity, partially offset by the seasonal outflow of funds from public entity customers. Our average total loans increased $71.7 million, or 3.7%, for the first quarter of 2024, compared to average total loans for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in average total loans was primarily due to the increase in commercial and industrial and real estate activity.
As of March 31, 2024, liquid assets were $229.8 million, compared to $305.4 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease of $75.6 million, or 24.8%, was due to the outflow of deposits and the funding of loans, partially offset by securities cash flows received during the first quarter of 2024. The liquid assets to assets ratio was 7.48% as of March 31, 2024, compared to 9.76% as of December 31, 2023.
Our securities portfolio is an alternative source for meeting liquidity needs and was our second-largest component of assets as of March 31, 2024. The securities portfolio generates cash flow through principal repayments, calls, and maturities, and certain securities can be sold or used as collateral in borrowings that allow for their conversion to cash. Securities AFS can generally be sold, while securities HTM have significant restrictions related to sales. As of March 31, 2024, we project receipt of approximately $100.0 million of principal repayments and maturities through December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, approximately $409.7 million, or 61.7%, of the securities portfolio was available to be sold or to be used as collateral in borrowings as a liquidity source.
We also utilize the FHLB as needed as a viable funding source. FHLB advances may be used to meet the Bank’s liquidity needs, particularly if the prevailing interest rate on an FHLB advance compares favorably to the rates that would be required to attract the necessary deposits. We currently are classified as having “blanket lien collateral status,” which means that advances can be executed at any time without further collateral requirements. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our net borrowing capacity from the FHLB was $953.2 million and $829.2 million, respectively.
Another borrowing source is the Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window. Effective the third quarter of 2023, the Bank pledged securities to have borrowing access to the Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window. In addition, effective March 2024, the Bank was approved for the Discount Window’s Borrower-In-Custody “BIC” program which provides borrowing capacity through the pledging of eligible Red River Bank loans that are not pledged to the FHLB. As of March 31, 2024, we had a total borrowing capacity of $186.0 million, including $143.0 million through the BIC program, compared to $45.5
46
million as of December 31, 2023. There were no outstanding borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Other sources available for meeting liquidity needs include federal funds lines, repurchase agreements, and other lines of credit. We maintain four federal funds lines of credit with commercial banks that provided for the availability to borrow up to an aggregate of $95.0 million in federal funds as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The rates for the federal funds lines are determined by the applicable commercial bank at the time of borrowing. We also maintain an additional $6.0 million revolving line of credit at one of our correspondent banks. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had total borrowing capacity of $101.0 million through these combined funding sources. We had no outstanding balances from either of these sources as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The Federal Reserve’s Bank Term Funding Program ended on March 11, 2024. The Bank did not utilize this program while it was being offered during its term.
Commitments to Extend Credit
In the normal course of business, we enter into certain financial instruments, such as commitments to extend credit and letters of credit, to meet the financing needs of our customers. These commitments involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk. Some instruments may not be reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements until they are funded, although they expose us to varying degrees of credit risk and interest rate risk in much the same way as funded loans.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer if all conditions of the commitment have been met. Commitments include revolving and nonrevolving credit lines and are primarily issued for commercial purposes. Commitments to extend credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions.
As of March 31, 2024, we had $390.0 million in unfunded loan commitments and $14.1 million in commitments associated with outstanding standby letters of credit. As of December 31, 2023, we had $372.0 million in unfunded loan commitments and $15.4 million in commitments associated with outstanding standby letters of credit. As commitments associated with letters of credit and commitments to extend credit may expire unused, the total outstanding commitments may not necessarily reflect the actual future cash funding requirements.
Investment Commitments
The Company is party to various investment commitments in the normal course of business. The Company’s exposure is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments.
In 2014, the Company committed to an investment into an SBIC limited partnership. As of March 31, 2024, there was a $226,000 outstanding commitment to this partnership.
In 2020, the Company committed to an additional investment into an SBIC limited partnership. As of March 31, 2024, there was a $2.6 million outstanding commitment to this partnership.
In 2021, the Company committed to an investment into a bank technology limited partnership. As of March 31, 2024, there was a $452,000 outstanding commitment to this partnership.
Purchase Commitment
The Company has committed to an agreement to buy real estate for approximately $1.9 million as of March 31, 2024.
Construction Commitment
The Company has one committed construction agreement to construct a banking center, and there was approximately $727,000 remaining on this commitment as of March 31, 2024.
Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk
As a financial institution, our primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Our asset-liability management policies provide management with guidelines for effective funds management, and we have established a measurement system for monitoring our net interest rate sensitivity position. We have historically managed our rate sensitivity position within our established policy guidelines.
Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those that have a short term to maturity. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The
47
objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income.
We manage exposure to interest rates by structuring the balance sheet appropriately during the ordinary course of business. We have the ability to enter into interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate risk in limited circumstances, but it is not our policy to enter into such transactions on a regular basis. We do not enter into instruments such as financial options, financial futures contracts, or forward delivery contracts for the purpose of reducing interest rate risk. We are not subject to foreign exchange risk, and our commodity price risk is immaterial, as the percentage of our agricultural loans to loans HFI was only 0.5% as of March 31, 2024.
Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed by Red River Bank’s Asset-Liability Management Committee. The committee formulates strategies based on appropriate levels of interest rate risk and monitors the results of those strategies. In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, the committee considers the impact on both earnings and capital given the current outlook on interest rates, regional economies, liquidity, business strategies, and other related factors.
The committee meets quarterly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and economic values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase and sale activities, commitments to originate loans, and the maturities of investments and borrowings. Additionally, the committee reviews liquidity, cash flow flexibility, maturities of deposits, and consumer and commercial deposit activity. We employ methodologies to manage interest rate risk, which include an analysis of relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as an interest rate simulation model and shock analysis.
In conjunction with our interest rate risk management process, on a quarterly basis, we run various simulations within a static balance sheet model. This model tests the impact on net interest income and fair value of equity from changes in market interest rates under various scenarios. We use parallel rate shock scenarios that assume instantaneous parallel movements in the yield curve compared to a flat yield curve scenario. We also deploy a ramped rate scenario over a 12-month and 24-month horizon based upon parallel yield curve shifts. Our nonparallel rate shock model simulation involves analysis of interest income and expense under various changes in the shape of the yield curve. Contractual maturities and repricing opportunities of loans are incorporated into the model, as are prepayment assumptions and maturity date and call options within the securities portfolio. The average life of non-maturity deposit accounts are based on assumptions developed from non-maturity deposit decay studies, which calculate average lives using historic closure rates.
Bank policy regarding interest rate risk simulations performed by our risk model currently specifies that for instantaneous parallel shifts of the yield curve, estimated net interest income at risk for the subsequent one-year period should not decline by more than 10.0% for a 100 bp shift and 15.0% for a 200 bp shift. In accordance with Bank policy that was approved in September 2023, regarding economic value at risk simulations performed by our risk model for instantaneous parallel shifts of the yield curve, estimated fair value of equity for the subsequent one-year period should not decline by more than 10.0% for a 100 bp shift and 20.0% for a 200 bp shift.
The following table shows the impact of an instantaneous and parallel change in rates, at the levels indicated, and summarizes the simulated change in net interest income and fair value of equity over a 12-month horizon as of the dates indicated.

The results above, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, demonstrate that our balance sheet is asset sensitive, which means our assets have the opportunity to reprice at a faster pace than our liabilities, over the 12-month horizon. Our repricing opportunity is captured in a gap analysis, which is the process by which we measure the repricing gap between interest-rate sensitive assets versus interest rate-sensitive liabilities.
As of March 31, 2024, the reported percentage changes in net interest income and fair value of equity remained within the policy thresholds. These values are reported at each quarterly Asset-Liability Committee meeting. The net interest income at risk and the fair value of equity will continue to be monitored, and appropriate mitigating action will be taken if needed.
48
The impact of our floating rate loans and floating rate transaction deposits are also reflected in the results shown in the above table. As of March 31, 2024, floating rate loans were 13.3% of loans HFI, and floating rate transaction deposits were 6.4% of interest-bearing transaction deposits.
The assumptions incorporated into the model are inherently uncertain, and as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model’s simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various management strategies and the slope of the yield curve.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Our accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. Certain financial measures used by management to evaluate our operating performance are discussed in this Report as supplemental non-GAAP performance measures. In accordance with the SEC’s rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time in the U.S.
Management and the board of directors review tangible book value per share, tangible common equity to tangible assets, and realized book value per share as part of managing operating performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures that we discuss in this Report should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner that we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that are discussed in this Report may differ from that of other companies’ reporting measures with similar names. It is important to understand how such other banking organizations calculate and name their financial measures similar to the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this Report when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.
Tangible Book Value Per Share. Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP measure commonly used by investors, financial analysts, and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets. We calculate tangible book value per share as total stockholders’ equity, less intangible assets, divided by the outstanding number of shares of our common stock at the end of the relevant period. Intangible assets have the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing tangible book value. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible book value per share is book value per share.
As a result of previous acquisitions, we have a small amount of intangible assets. As of March 31, 2024, total intangible assets were $1.5 million, which is less than 1.0% of total assets.
Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets. Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP measure generally used by investors, financial analysts, and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period of tangible common equity to tangible assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Intangible assets have the effect of increasing both total stockholders’ equity and assets while not increasing our tangible common equity or tangible assets. We calculate tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity less intangible assets, and we calculate tangible assets as total assets less intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible common equity to tangible assets is total common stockholders’ equity to total assets.
Realized Book Value Per Share. Realized book value per share is a non-GAAP measure that we use to evaluate our operating performance. We believe that this measure is important because it allows us to monitor changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in AOCI. Our AOCI is impacted primarily by the unrealized gains and losses on securities AFS. These unrealized gains or losses on securities AFS are driven by market factors and may also be temporary and vary greatly from period to period. Due to the possibly temporary and greatly variable nature of these changes, we find it useful to monitor realized book value per share. We calculate realized book value per share as total stockholders’ equity less AOCI, divided by the outstanding number of shares of our common stock at the end of the relevant period. AOCI has the effect of increasing or decreasing total book value while not increasing or decreasing realized book value. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for realized book value per share is book value per share.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and with general practices within the financial services industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under current circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. Use of alternative assumptions may have resulted in significantly different estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
There were no other material changes or developments during the reporting period with respect to methodologies that we use when developing critical accounting estimates as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. For details on the significant accounting principles and practices we follow, see “Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in this Report and “Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See “Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Recent Accounting Pronouncements.”
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Asset-Liability Management - Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk.” Additional information as of March 31, 2024, is included herein under “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Asset-Liability Management - Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk.” The foregoing information is incorporated into this Item 3 by reference.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Report, an evaluation was performed by our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply judgment in evaluating our controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the first quarter of 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we, including our subsidiaries, are or may be involved in various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, neither we, nor any of our subsidiaries, are involved in such legal proceedings that the resolution is expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, one or more unfavorable outcomes in these ordinary claims or litigation against us or our subsidiaries could have a material adverse effect for the period in which they are resolved. In addition, regardless of their merits or ultimate outcomes, such matters are costly, divert management’s attention, and may materially and adversely affect our reputation or that of our subsidiaries, even if resolved favorably.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
For information regarding risk factors that could affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, see the information in “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Our purchases of shares of common stock made during the quarter are summarized in the table below:
| (dollars in thousands, except per share data) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(1)On March 13, 2024, we entered into a privately negotiated stock repurchase agreement for the purchase of 200,000 shares of our common stock for a total purchase price of $10.0 million. The repurchase was supplemental to our previously announced $5.0 million repurchase program and did not impact the amount of permitted repurchases thereunder.
(2)On December 14, 2023, we announced that our board of directors approved the renewal of the 2023 stock repurchase program that was completed in the
fourth quarter of 2023 after reaching its purchase limit. The 2024 stock repurchase program has terms similar to the 2023 stock repurchase program and
authorizes us to purchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices and based on market conditions, or in privately negotiated transactions.
