Current report
Net interest income (expressed on a taxable-equivalent basis) was $117.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase of $15.4 million or 15.1% from $102.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase from the year-ago period was primarily due to higher average yields earned on loans and investment securities, combined with lower average interest-bearing deposit balances and lower average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits. These positive variances were partially offset by a decline in average loans.
Current report
Interest Income
Current report
Taxable-equivalent interest income was $155.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing an increase of $5.1 million, or 3.4%, from $150.6 million in the year-ago period. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in average yields earned on loans and investment securities of 18 bps and 49 bps, respectively, resulting in increases in interest income of approximately $4.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The increase in the average yield earned on investment securities was partially attributable to higher income from an interest rate swap that became effective on March 31, 2024 of $0.7 million, compared to the same prior year period. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in average loan balances of $83.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the year-ago period, resulting in a decrease in interest income of approximately $2.1 million. In addition, the decrease in average balance and yield earned on interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions of $43.9 million and 104 bps, respectively, resulted in a decrease in interest income of approximately $2.1 million.

Interest Expense
Current report
Interest expense was $37.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which decreased by $10.3 million, or 21.4%, from $48.1 million in the year-ago period. Average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits of 1.45% decreased by 37 bps and average interest-bearing deposit balances decreased by $85.1 million from the year-ago period, resulting in decreases in interest expense of approximately $5.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively.

Net Interest Margin
Current report
Our net interest margin of 3.37% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by 47 bps from 2.90% in the year-ago period. As previously discussed, the increase in net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the year-ago period was primarily attributable to the aforementioned increases in average yields earned on loans and investment securities, combined with a decline in average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and long-term debt.
Current report
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, total other operating income was $24.1 million, which increased by $0.7 million, or 3.2%, from $23.4 million in the year-ago period. The increase from the same year-ago period was primarily due to higher other service charges and fees of $0.6 million, and income from fiduciary activities of $0.2 million, partially offset by lower mortgage banking income of $0.3 million. The higher other service charges and fees was attributable to higher investment services fees and ATM and debit card fees.
Current report
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, total other operating expense was $86.0 million and increased by $4.3 million, or 5.3%, from $81.7 million in the same year-ago period. The increase from the same year-ago period was primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits of $2.5 million, computer software expense of $1.4 million, and legal and professional services of $0.8 million, partially offset by lower net occupancy expense of $0.6 million.

In an effort to rein in inflation, the FRB aggressively increased interest rates since the first quarter of 2022 when the Federal Funds Rate target range was 0.00% to 0.25%. Since then, the FRB has raised the Federal Funds Rate by more than five percentage points, up to a 22-year high, 5.25% to 5.50%. The Federal Funds Rate remained at that level until September 2024. At the September 2024 Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") meeting, the FOMC lowered interest rates by 50 bps to 4.75% to 5.00%, as they gained greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably towards its 2% target. In November and December 2024, the FOMC lowered interest rates by an additional 25 bps each to a target range of 4.25% to 4.50% at the end of 2024. In 2025, the FOMC has kept the Federal Funds Rate unchanged through its March 2025 meeting.

The rate remained the same until September 2024, when the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") lowered the target range by 50 basis points ("bp" or "bps") to 4.75% to 5.00%, reflecting increased confidence that inflation was sustainably moving towards the 2% target. Additional 25 bps cuts followed in November and December 2024, bringing the target range to 4.25% to 4.50% by year-end.

Previous wording
Net interest income (expressed on a taxable-equivalent basis) was $57.9 million for the first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of $7.5 million, or 14.9% from $50.4 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase in net interest income from the year-ago quarter was primarily due to lower average interest-bearing deposit balances and lower average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits, combined with higher average yields earned on interest earning assets. These positive variances were partially offset by a decline in average loans.
Current wording
Net interest income (expressed on a taxable-equivalent basis) was $60.0 million for the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of $7.9 million, or 15.2% from $52.1 million in the year-ago quarter.

The increase in the average yield earned on investment securities was primarily attributable to the investment securities portfolio repositioning completed in the fourth quarter of 2024, combined with income of $0.7 million from an interest rate swap that became effective on March 31, 2024. These increases were partially offset by decreases in the average balance and average yield earned on interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions resulting in an decrease in interest income of approximately $1.4 million, and a decrease in average loan balances of $88.9 million, resulting in a decrease in interest income of approximately $1.2 million.
