Annualized return on average assets was 1.37% and annualized return on average common stockholders’ equity was 15.12% for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 1.77% and 20.49%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2022.

Net interest income was negatively impacted by the continued narrowing in net interest spread due to Federal Reserve increases in interest rates over the last year.

Loan yields were 6.13% during the third quarter of 2023 compared to 5.94% during the second quarter of 2023 and 4.77% during the third quarter of 2022.

Average total deposits for the third quarter of 2023 were $12.68 billion, an increase of $1.10 billion, or 37.5% annualized, over average total deposits of $11.58 billion for the second quarter of 2023, and an increase of $1.15 billion, or 9.9%, from average total deposits of $11.53 billion for the third quarter of 2022.

The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans at September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, was 1.31%, 1.31%, and 1.25%, respectively. We recorded a $4.3 million provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2023 compared to $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2023, and $15.6 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Non-interest income decreased $804,000, or 9.0%, to $8.1 million for the third quarter of 2023 from $8.9 million in the third quarter of 2022, and decreased $447,000, or 5.2%, on a linked quarter basis. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $271,000, or 14.3%, to $2.2 million from the third quarter of 2022 to the third quarter of 2023, and increased $21,000, or 1.0%, on a linked quarter basis. Mortgage banking revenue increased $41,000, or 5.2%, to $825,000 from the third quarter of 2022 to the third quarter of 2023, and increased $129,000, or 18.5%, on a linked quarter basis.

During the second quarter of 2023, we recognized $890,000 of income primarily attributed to a death benefit related to a former employee in our BOLI program. Other operating income for the third quarter of 2023 decreased $1.2 million, or 60.4%, to $797,000 from $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, and decreased $45,000, or 5.3%, on a linked quarter basis.

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2023 decreased $1.0 million, or 2.4%, to $41.7 million from $42.7 million in the third quarter of 2022, and increased $3.2 million, or 8.3%, on a linked quarter basis. Salary and benefit expense for the third quarter of 2023 increased $393,000, or 2.0%, to $20.1 million from $19.7 million in the third quarter of 2022, and increased $1.3 million, or 6.8%, on a linked quarter basis. The increase in the linked quarter is primarily attributed to higher incentive accruals. The number of FTE employees increased by 10 to 568 at September 30, 2023 compared to 558 at September 30, 2022, and decreased by 9 from the end of the second quarter of 2023. Equipment and occupancy expense increased $439,000, or 14.0%, to $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2023, from $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2022, and increased $158,000, or 4.6% on a linked-quarter basis. The year-over-year increase is primarily attributed to new leases that began after the third quarter of 2022. Third party processing and other services expense decreased $664,000, or 9.2%, to $6.5 million in the third quarter of 2023, from $7.2 million in the third quarter of 2022, and increased $351,000, or 5.7%, on a linked-quarter basis.

FDIC and other regulatory assessments increased $1.4 million to $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2023, from $975,000 in the third quarter of 2022, and increased $104,000, or 4.6%, on a linked quarter basis. The FDIC increased the assessment rate by two basis points beginning in the first quarter of 2023. Other operating expenses for the third quarter of 2023 decreased $2.8 million, or 26.3%, to $7.8 million from $10.6 million in the third quarter of 2022, and increased $1.6 million, or 25.7%, on a linked-quarter basis. During the third quarter of 2022 we reached a preliminary settlement on a lawsuit and wrote down the value of a private investment resulting in charges of $3.1 million, or $2.4 million net of income tax. The efficiency ratio was 38.64% during the third quarter of 2023 compared to 31.54% during the third quarter of 2022 and 35.02% during the second quarter of 2023.


Income tax expense decreased $4.5 million, or 34.4%, to $8.5 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $13.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, mostly due to lower pretax net income. Our effective tax rate was 13.81% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 16.92% for the third quarter of 2022. We recognized an aggregate of $3.7 million in credits during the third quarter of 2023 related to investments in tax credit partnerships, compared to $3.1 million during the third quarter of 2022.
