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, 2025 and 2024. 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 35 basis point decrease in cost of funds was primarily the result of a $1.3 billion decrease in borrowings, as well as the 18 basis point decrease in average borrowing costs, when compared to the second quarter of 2024. The redemption of $1.3 billion of Federal Reserve Bank Term Funding Program borrowings in the third quarter of 2024 resulted in the year over year decline in the level of borrowings. A 12 basis point decrease in the cost of total interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to a $160.6 million decrease in average time deposits and a 59 basis point decrease in the cost of time deposits. The cost of customer repurchase agreements increased from .47% in the second quarter of 2024 to 1.66% in the second quarter of 2025.
