Current report
Total noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $28,555, an increase of $906, or 3.3%, from $27,649 reported for the same period of 2023. The increase in total noninterest expense was primarily due to increases in compensation expense, software maintenance expense, and other operating expenses, partially offset by decreases in net occupancy expense, equipment expense, state franchise tax, and marketing. The increase in compensation expense was due to annual merit increases, employee insurance, and other payroll related expenses. The average full time equivalent (FTE) employees were 538 at June 30, 2024, an increase of six FTEs over the same period of 2023. The decreases in net occupancy expense and equipment expense was primarily due to a decrease in equipment depreciation from leasing operations as operating leases mature. The increase in software maintenance expense was primarily due to an increase in software maintenance contracts, including investments in digital banking.
