Previous wording

We recognized net income of $34.4 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to net income of $34.5 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, for the same period in 2023 and net income of $65.6 million, or $1.70 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Current wording

We recognized net income of $32.6 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to net income of $33.5 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, for the same period in 2023 and net income of $98.2 million, or $2.55 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to net income of $107.7 million, or $2.78 per diluted share, for the same period in 2023.

Previous wording

Net interest income decreased $4.5 million, or 5.14 percent, and $9.8 million, or 5.56 percent, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. Net interest margin, or NIM, on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) decreased 37 and 43 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. The decreases in both net interest income and NIM on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) were primarily due to the impact of higher interest rates on total interest-bearing liabilities compared to the same period in 2023. NIM is reconciled to net interest margin adjusted to an FTE basis (non-GAAP) in the "Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this MD&A.

Current wording

Net interest income decreased $2.9 million, or 3.3 percent, and $12.8 million, or 4.8 percent, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. Net interest margin, or NIM, on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) decreased 27 and 37 basis points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. The decreases in both net interest income and NIM on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) were primarily due to the impact of higher interest rates on total interest-bearing liabilities compared to the same period in 2023. While higher interest rates positively impacted interest income and rates on interest-earning assets, this impact was more than offset by higher interest expense and rates on interest-bearing liabilities. Our cost of interest-bearing liabilities benefited from strong customer deposit growth in 2024, which has helped to improve our overall funding mix by reducing wholesale funding sources of brokered deposits and borrowings. NIM is reconciled to net interest margin adjusted to an FTE basis (non-GAAP) in the "Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this MD&A.

Previous wording

Noninterest income had a slight decrease of $0.9 million, or 6.24 percent, and $1.2 million or 4.55 percent, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. During the second quarter of 2024, our participation in the Visa exchange offer for Visa Class B-1 common stock resulted in a fair value adjustment of $3.2 million in other income. During this same period, a loss on the sale of securities of $3.2 million was recognized related to the repositioning of $49.0 million of securities into longer duration, higher-yielding securities.

Current wording

Noninterest income had a slight decrease of $0.3 million, or 2.47 percent, and $1.5 million or 3.91 percent, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. The decrease in noninterest income is attributed to a loss on the sale of securities of $2.2 million and $5.3 million, which was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 related to the repositioning of securities into longer duration higher-yielding securities. This decrease was partially offset by changes to other noninterest income. Other noninterest income increased $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to an increase of $0.9 million in the valuation of our commercial loans swaps and a $0.3 million fair value adjustment of assets in a nonqualified benefit plan in the third quarter of 2023. Other noninterest income increased by $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to a fair value adjustment of $3.4 million from the Visa exchange offer for Visa Class B-1 common stock.

The most significant increase in noninterest expense related to salaries and employee benefits which increased $5.0 million and $6.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 due to annual merit increases, inflationary wage pressure, the acquisition of new talent, higher incentives and medical costs.

This increase was partially offset by decreases in other noninterest income of $1.1 million and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily related to the adoption of PAM. As a result of this adoption, amortization expense of $1.4 million and $2.9 million related to tax credit equity investments is included in income tax expense for 2024, while $0.5 million and $1.6 million are included in noninterest expense for 2023.

Previous wording

Previous wording

The provision for credit losses includes a provision for losses on loans and on unfunded commitments. The provision for credit losses fluctuates based on changes in loan balances, risk ratings, net loan charge-offs/recoveries, the macro environment and our Current Expected Credit Loss, or CECL, forecast. The provision for credit losses decreased $10.1 million and $8.5 million to $0.4 million and $3.0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $10.5 million and $11.5 million for the same periods in 2023. The decrease in the provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to lower net charge-offs. The decrease in the provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to reductions in our special mention and substandard loans, which lowered the quantitative reserve.
