Current report
Net income increased $2.0 million to $18.2 million, or $0.42 per share, during the three months ended September 30, 2024 when compared to $16.2 million, or $0.37 per share, for the same period in 2023. The increase from the year ago period was primarily driven by an increase in net interest income and a reduction in the effective tax rate in the current period, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense when compared to the year ago period. Net interest income increased by $4.8 million, or 11.5% when compared with the year ago period, driven by a modest increase in average earning assets and a 25 basis point increase in the net FTE interest margin 1, to 2.66% in the current period.
Current report
Net interest income increased $4.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, to $46.9 million, when compared to the same period in 2023. While average earning asset growth was modest, the reported net FTE interest margin 1 increased by 25 basis points, to 2.66% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the year ago period, attributable to the favorable mix shift in both average interest earning assets toward higher-yielding loans and the funding mix toward lower cost deposit liabilities, in addition to a higher contribution to the net FTE interest margin 1 from interest-free funds. Interest accretion from the fair value of acquired loans did not contribute significantly to the third quarter net interest income, or net FTE interest margin 1.
Current report
Net interest income increased $2.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, to $135.5 million, when compared to the same period in 2023. Growth in average earning asset balances and a 1 basis point increase in the reported net FTE interest margin 2, to 2.60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the year ago period drove the net interest income growth versus the year ago comparable period. The net FTE interest margin expansion over the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was modest, as the increased contribution from interest-free funds was largely offset by the contraction in the net spread between the yield on earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Current report
Mortgage servicing income decreased $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by higher levels of amortization expense of mortgage servicing rights in the current period.
Current report
As of September 30, 2024, the liability for unfunded lending commitments was relatively unchanged at $0.7 million when compared to the third quarter of last year.
Current report
The Company’s income tax expense for the third quarter of 2024 was$0.1 million compared to $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2023, resulting in effective tax rates of 0.4% and 7.3%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the third quarter 2024 is primarily due to the increase in the net realizable tax credits for the current year.
Current report
Total borrowings decreased by $87.9 million, or 6.5%, to $1.3 billion as of September 30, 2024 when compared to balances as of December 31, 2023, primarily related to repayment of a portion of Federal Home Loan Bank advances in August.
Current report
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, net charge-offs were $0.4 million, or 3 basis points annualized of average loans in the period, down from $0.7 million, or 7 basis point annualized of average loans in the year ago comparable period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net charge-offs were $1.3 million, or 4 basis points annualized of average loans in the period, compared with $1.6 million, or 4 basis point annualized of average loans in the year ago comparable period.

Net income declined $4.6 million to $14.1 million, or $0.32 per share, during the three months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to $18.8 million, or $0.43 per share, for the same period in 2023. The decrease from the year ago period was primarily driven by the increased provision for loan loss related to loan growth in the current period and non-interest expense growth compared to the year ago period. Additionally, net interest income, compared to the second quarter of last year, decreased by $0.9 million, or 1.9%, mainly due to an increase in interest expense on interest bearing deposits of $9 million and borrowings of $1.5 million. This increase in interest expense was mainly offset by an increase in interest income on loans receivable of $11.3 million.
Previous report

While average earning asset balances grew modestly, the reported net FTE interest margin 2 decreased by 11 basis points, to 2.57% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the year ago period. The primary driver of the decline in net interest income compared with the year ago period was the $1.5 million swap termination gain and $1.1 million of additional contribution from interest accretion on acquired loans in the year ago period. Following are the average balance sheets for the six months ended (dollars in thousands):

The increase in the effective tax rate for the second quarter 2024 is primarily due to the increase in the tax provision for the second quarter of 2024 to bring the year-to-date tax rate in line with the current estimated annual effective tax rate for the full year 2024, less tax-advantaged BOLI income related to the policies surrendered in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-02, partially offset by a decrease in pre-tax income.

Previous wording
Certain information set forth in this press release refers to financial measures determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, we have included non-GAAP financial measures relating to net income, diluted earnings per share, pre-tax, pre-provision net income, net interest margin, tangible stockholders’ equity and tangible book value per share, efficiency ratio, the return on average assets, the return on average common equity, and return on average tangible equity. In each case, we have identified special circumstances that we consider to be non-recurring and have excluded them. We believe that this shows the impact of such events as acquisition-related purchase accounting adjustments and swap termination fees, among others we have identified in our reconciliations. Horizon believes these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful to investors and provide a greater understanding of our business and financial results without giving effect to the purchase accounting impacts and one-time costs of acquisitions and non–recurring items. These measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measures that may be presented by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measure. See the tables and other information below and contained elsewhere in this press release for reconciliations of the non-GAAP information identified herein and its most comparable GAAP measures.
