Net Interest Income
Total interest income of $39.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was an increase of $430,000 or 1.1% compared to total interest income of $38.7 million for the same period of 2025. The increase in interest income is attributable to the loan portfolio resulting from both greater volume and higher average yields as compared to the prior year.
Total interest expense of $18.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was a decrease of $2.5 million or 11.8% compared to total interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Interest expense on deposits fell $2.6 million year-to-date as compared to prior year on lower average funding rates and modestly lower volume. Borrowed funds expense was up $107,000 compared to the prior year period attributable to higher utilization of short-term FHLB funding.
As a result, net interest income of $20.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was an increase of $2.9 million or 16.2% compared to net interest income of $17.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company's net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 2.86%, up from 2.48% for the first three months of 2025. Tax-exempt interest income amounted to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
