Current report
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2024 was $56.5 million, compared to $59.8 million for the first quarter of 2024 and $54.0 million for the second quarter of 2023. The $3.3 million quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to a $3.0 million decrease in regulatory assessment expense resulting from changes in the amount accrued as an estimate of the FDIC special assessment. The $2.5 million increase in expense compared to the second quarter of 2023, was due primarily to salary and benefit expense growing by $1.9 million, or 5.60%.
Current report
Includes loan fees of $1.4 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Prepayment penalty fees of $1.1 million and $1.3 million are included in interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.
Current report
Interest expense of $48.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, increased $18.5 million, compared to the second quarter of 2023. Total cost of funds of 1.38% for the second quarter of 2024 increased from 0.83% for the year ago quarter.
Current report
This 55 basis point increase in cost of funds was primarily the result of a 125 basis point increase in the cost of total interest-bearing deposits, including the impact from a $400 million increase in average brokered time deposits. Total time deposits grew by $437.5 million over the prior year quarter, while interest expense on time deposits grew by $5.7 million. Interest expense for non-maturity interest-bearing deposits, increased by $9.5 million over the second quarter of 2023, as a $190.4 million decline in the average balance of these deposits was offset by an increase in the cost of these interest-bearing deposits from 0.99% in the prior year quarter to 2.00% for the second quarter of 2024. Average noninterest-bearing deposits were 60.20% of total deposits for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 63.58% for the second quarter of 2023. Interest expense on borrowings increased by $3.2 million, compared to the second quarter of 2023, due to an increase in average borrowings of $323.4 million, which had an average borrowing cost of 4.76% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 4.90% in the prior year quarter.
Current report
Net interest income, before provision for credit losses, was $223.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $22.0 million, or 8.95%, compared to $245.3 million for the same period of 2023. Interest-earning assets decreased on average by $226.8 million, or 1.52%, from $14.89 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $14.66 billion for the same period in the current year. Our net interest margin (TE) was 3.07% for the first six months of 2024, compared to 3.33% for the same period of 2023.
Current report
Total interest income $316.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was $24.7 million, or 8.47%, higher than the same period of 2023. This increase was primarily due to a 40 basis point expansion of the yield on earning assets, which offset a $226.8 million decline in average earning assets. The $226.8 million year-over-year decrease in average earning assets resulted from a decline of $443.6 million in average investment securities and a $149.6 million decrease in our average loan balances, offset by a $375.8 million increase the average amount of funds held at the Federal Reserve. The 40 basis point increase in the average earning asset yield compared to the first six months of 2023 resulted from both a 33 basis point increase in loan yields, from 4.95% for the first six months of 2023 to 5.28% for the same period of 2024 and a 30 basis point increase in the non tax-equivalent yield on investment securities. Including the impact of fair value hedges, the yield on investment securities increased from 2.33% for the first six months of 2023 to 2.63% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Interest income from funds deposited at the Federal Reserve increased by $10.7 million, primary due to a $376 million increase in average balances at the Federal Reserve.
Current report
Interest income from investment securities of $69.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, increased $2.9 million from $66.6 million for the first six months of 2023. This increase was driven by a 30 basis point increase in the yield on securities, compared to the first six months of 2023. The increase in yield includes the positive carry on the fair value hedges executed in late June of 2023, which resulted in $7.8 million of interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $446,000 in the second quarter of 2023. Excluding the impact of these swaps, interest income on investment securities would have declined by $4.5 million, as average investment securities decreased by $443.6 million when compared with the second quarter of 2023.
Current report
Interest expense of $93.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, increased by $46.7 million from the same period of 2023. Total cost of funds for the first six months of 2024 was 1.34%, compared with 0.66% for the same period of 2023. Noninterest-bearing deposits for the six months ending June 30, 2024, declined on average by $789.3 million, compared to the first six months of 2023, but continued to represent more than 60% of total average deposits for the six month period. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 60.96% of our total deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 63.62% for the same period of 2023. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased by 127 basis points, to 2.76% for the first six months of 2024, from 1.49% for the same period of 2023. Likewise, the rate on interest-bearing deposits for the first six months of 2024 increased by 136 basis points from the same period in 2023. Time deposits increased on average between the two periods by $299.6 million, with the cost of time deposits increasing from 0.37% in the prior year period to 3.04% for the first six months of 2024. The increase in both the cost and average balance of time deposits was driven by the addition in 2024 of $400 million in brokered time deposits. Non-maturity interest-bearing deposits declined on average from the prior year period by $259.2 million, while the cost of these deposits increased by 1.19%. Average borrowings for the first six months of 2024 were $1.92 billion at a cost of 4.76%, compared with 4.87% on $1.25 billion of borrowings for the same period of 2023.

$3.0 billion in assets under management. CitizensTrust generated fees of $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $3.3 million for the same period of 2023.
Current report
The increase in BOLI income was primarily due to the restructuring and enhancements in our BOLI policies in the fourth quarter of 2023. There were no death benefits in the second quarter of 2024, compared with $806,000 in death benefits that exceeded the asset value of certain BOLI policies in the second quarter of 2023. As a result of the restructuring and enhancements in BOLI policies during the fourth quarter of 2023, the income derived from increases in the cash-surrender value of the policies was $1.6 million higher in the second quarter of 2024, when compared to the second quarter of 2023.
Current report
The $3.3 million year-over-year increase in BOLI income was primarily due to the restructuring and enhancements in our BOLI policies in the fourth quarter of 2023. Trust and investment fees grew by $423,000 or 6.79% due to increased assets under management. The swap related fees reflected in 2023 resulted from the conversion to SOFR of all of our previously originated interest rate swaps indexed to LIBOR, resulting in a $600,000 period-over-period decline in these fees.
Current report
Noninterest expense of $56.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, was $2.5 million, or 4.59% higher than the second quarter of 2023. The $2.5 million increase in noninterest expense year-over-year included increased staff related expenses of $1.9 million, or 5.60%, including a 4.4% increase in salary expense. Marketing and promotion expense increased by $635,000 primarily due to $673,000 in higher donations in the second quarter of 2024 and software expense increased $633,000, or 19.09% year-over-year, as the Company invests in further process automation and technology that improves customer experiences. The second quarter of 2024 included $500,000 in recapture of provision for unfunded loan commitments, compared to $400,000 in provision for the second quarter of 2023.
Current report
Noninterest expense of $116.3 million for the first six months of 2024 was $7.4 million higher than the prior year period. Year-over-year increases included a $3.0 million increase in salaries and employee benefits primarily due to inflationary pressures on salary and benefits. The $1.6 million net increase in the FDIC accrual year-over-year was the result of the FDIC increasing its initial estimate of losses from last year’s bank failures. Marketing and promotion expense increased by $550,000 primarily due to $478,000 in higher donations in the first half of 2024. Year-over-year expense increases included $750,000 in higher data processing costs from new technology investments, a $400,000 increase in deferred compensation expense, and a $790,000 increase in legal expense. The first six month of 2024 included $500,000 in recapture of provision for unfunded loan commitments, compared to $900,000 in provision for the same period of 2023. As a percentage of average assets, noninterest expense was 1.44% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 1.34% for the same period of 2023.

Previous report
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2024 was $59.8 million, compared to $65.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $54.9 million for the first quarter of 2023. The $6.2 million quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily due to the expense associated with the FDIC special assessment. The first quarter of 2024 reflected an additional accrual of $2.3 million for the FDIC special assessment. This is in addition to the $9.2 million accrued in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in the accrual was the result of the FDIC increasing its initial estimate of losses from last year’s bank failures by 25%, which was communicated in March of 2024.
Previous report
In June 2023, fair value hedging transactions were executed in which $1 billion notional pay-fixed interest rate swaps were consummated with maturities ranging from four to five years, wherein the Company pays a weighted average fixed rate of approximately 3.8% and receives daily SOFR. The fair value of these instruments totaled $10.9 million and were reflected as an asset at March 31, 2024. These instruments generated interest income of $3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Refer to Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of this report for additional information.
Previous report
Since March of 2022 to March of 2024, the Federal Reserve has increased the Federal Funds rate by 525 basis points to the target range of 5.25% to 5.50%. In comparison to the rising Federal Funds rate, our average cost of deposits has increased from three basis points for the first quarter of 2022 to 74 basis points for the first quarter of 2024. The change in market interest rates that has resulted from the Federal Reserve's monetary policies has impacted the availability of higher interest rates on short-term alternatives to deposits, such as money market mutual funds and treasury notes. These higher yielding alternatives, as well as overall inflationary increases on spending, have impacted our deposit levels over the last two years.
Previous report
Interest expense of $45.2 million for the first quarter of 2024, increased $28.2 million, compared to the first quarter of 2023. Total cost of funds of 1.31% for the first quarter of 2024 increased from 0.49% for the year ago quarter. This 82 basis point increase in cost of funds was the result of a 146 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits and an average cost of 4.76% on $1.99 billion of average borrowings for the first quarter of 2024, compared with 4.81% on $971.7 million of borrowings for the first quarter of 2023. Average noninterest-bearing deposits were 61.72% of total deposits for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 63.65% for the first quarter of 2023.
Previous report
There was no provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2024, compared to $1.5 million in provision in the first quarter of 2023. Projected loss rates were 0.94% at March 31, 2024, compared to 0.97% at March 31, 2023. Excluding specific reserves associated with nonperforming or substandard loans, the projected loss rate on performing loans increased from 0.91% at the end of 2023 to 0.94% on March 31, 2024. The modest increase in these projected loss rates continues to be driven primarily by economic forecast changes to various macroeconomic variables such as Real GDP growth, commercial real estate values and the rate of unemployment. Refer to the discussion of “Allowance for Credit Losses” in Item 2 –Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained herein for discussion concerning observed changes in the credit quality of various components of our loan portfolio as well as changes and refinements to our methodology.

The Bank’s investment in BOLI includes life insurance policies generally acquired through acquisitions or the purchase of life insurance by the Bank on a select group of employees to fund deferred compensation plans. The Bank is the owner and beneficiary of these policies. BOLI is recorded as an asset at its cash surrender value. Increases in the cash value of these policies, as well as insurance proceeds received, are recorded in noninterest income and are not subject to income tax, as long as they are held for the life of the covered parties. The increase in BOLI income was primarily due to the restructuring and enhancements in our BOLI policies in the fourth quarter of 2023. The first quarter of 2024 also included $531,000 in death benefits that exceeded the asset value on certain policies, compared with no death benefits for the first quarter of 2023.
Previous report
Noninterest expense of $59.8 million for the first quarter of 2024 was $4.9 million, or 8.91%, higher than the first quarter of 2023.

Year-over-year expense growth included increased staff related expenses of $1.2 million, or 3.27%. Professional services also increased $559,000 year-over-year, including a $430,000 increase in legal expense. The increase in other expense year-over-year was due to higher data processing costs, an increase in deferred compensation expense and various expense accruals. There was no provision or recapture of provision for unfunded loan commitments in the first quarter of 2024, compared to $500,000 in provision for the first quarter of 2023.

Previous wording
For the first quarter of 2024, we reported net earnings of $48.6 million, compared with $48.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $59.3 million for the first quarter of 2023. Diluted earnings per share were $0.35 for the first quarter, compared to $0.35 for the prior quarter and $0.42 for the same period last year. Net income of $48.6 million for the first quarter of 2024 produced an annualized return on average equity (“ROAE”) of 9.31%, an annualized return on average tangible common equity (“ROATCE”) of 15.13%, and an annualized return on average assets (“ROAA”) of 1.21%. Our net interest margin, tax equivalent (“NIM”), was 3.10% for the first quarter of 2024, while our efficiency ratio was 47.22%.
Current wording
For the second quarter of 2024, we reported net earnings of $50.0 million, compared with $48.6 million for the first quarter of 2024 and $55.8 million for the second quarter of 2023. Diluted earnings per share were $0.36 for the second quarter, compared to $0.35 for the prior quarter and $0.40 for the same period last year. Net income of $50.0 million for the second quarter of 2024 produced an annualized return on average equity (“ROAE”) of 9.57%, an annualized return on average tangible common equity (“ROATCE”) of 15.51%, and an annualized return on average assets (“ROAA”) of 1.24%. Our net interest margin, tax equivalent (“NIM”), was 3.05% for the second quarter of 2024, while our efficiency ratio was 45.10%.
Previous wording
Net interest income was $112.5 million for the first quarter of 2024. This represented a $6.9 million, or 5.78%, decline from the fourth quarter of 2023, and a $13.3 million, or 10.55%, decrease from the first quarter of 2023. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a 16 basis point decline in net interest margin driven by approximately $6 million in higher interest expense associated with time deposits and borrowings. The decline in net interest income compared to the first quarter of 2023 was due to a 35 basis point decrease in net interest margin and a $158.5 million decline in average earning assets. Interest expense from borrowings increased by approximately $12 million compared to the first quarter of 2023, as average borrowings grew by $1.02 billion.
Current wording
Net interest income was $110.8 million for the second quarter of 2024. This represented a $1.6 million, or 1.43%, decline from the first quarter of 2024, and an $8.7 million, or 7.27%, decrease from the second quarter of 2023. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in net interest income was due to a five basis point decline in net interest margin, as total earning assets were essentially unchanged from the prior quarter end. The decline in net interest income compared to the second quarter of 2023 was due to a 17 basis point decrease in net interest margin and a $294.2 million decline in average earning assets.
Previous wording
Noninterest income was $14.1 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared with $19.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $13.2 million for the first quarter of 2023. First quarter income from Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) decreased by $4.3 million from the fourth quarter of 2023 and increased by $2.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to restructuring and enhancements in BOLI policies in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Current wording
Noninterest income was $14.4 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared with $14.1 million for the first quarter of 2024 and $12.7 million for the second quarter of 2023.

Interest-earning assets of $14.91 billion at March 31, 2024, increased by $448.9 million, or 3.10%, when compared with $14.46 billion at December 31, 2023. The increase in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $707.7 million increase in interest-earning balances due from the Federal Reserve, offset by a $129.0 million decrease in investment securities, and a $134.2 million decrease in total loans.
Current wording
At June 30, 2024, total assets of $16.15 billion increased by $130.5 million, or 0.81%, from total assets of $16.02 billion at December 31, 2023.

Our tax equivalent yield on investments was 2.64% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to 2.71% for the fourth quarter of 2023 and 2.37% for the first quarter of 2023. The 27 basis point increase in the yield on investment securities from the prior year was impacted by the positive spread generated from fair-value hedging of certain AFS securities, in which the Company receives daily SOFR and pays a weighted average fixed cost of approximately 3.8%.

The quarter-over-quarter decline in loans included decreases of $64.0 million in commercial real estate loans, $61.3 million in dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans, $7.9 million in construction loans, $6.8 million in commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by an increase of $6.6 million in SFR mortgage loans. The decline in dairy and livestock loans primarily relates to the seasonal peak in line utilization at the end of every calendar year, demonstrated by a decline in utilization from 80% at the end of 2023 to 75% at March 31, 2024. Our yield on loans was 5.30% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to 5.18% for the fourth quarter of 2023 and 4.90% for the first quarter of 2023. This 40 basis point increase in our loan yields year-over-year was the result of recent increases in interest rates, highlighted by the 525 basis point increase in the Fed Funds rate since the end of the first quarter of 2022.

The principal component of our earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments (interest-earning assets) and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds (interest-bearing liabilities). Net interest margin is net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets for the period. The level of interest rates and the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income and net interest margin. The net interest spread is the yield on average interest-earning assets minus the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin and net interest spread are included on a tax equivalent (TE) basis by adjusting interest income utilizing the federal statutory tax rates of 21% in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Our net interest income, interest spread, and net interest margin are sensitive to general business and economic conditions. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, monetary supply, and the strength of the international, national and state economies, in general, and more specifically, the local economies in which we conduct business. Our ability to manage net interest income during changing interest rate environments will have a significant impact on our overall performance. We manage net interest income through affecting changes in the mix of interest-earning assets as well as the mix of interest-bearing liabilities, changes in the level of interest-bearing liabilities in proportion to interest-earning assets, and in the growth and maturity of earning assets. See Item 2 –Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Asset/Liability and Market Risk Management – Interest Rate Sensitivity Management included herein.

This represented a decrease of $129.0 million, or 2.38%, from $5.42 billion at December 31, 2023. The overall decrease in investment securities was primarily due to a $119.0 million decline in our AFS securities.
