Deposits increased by $191.5 million to $11.16 billion, from $10.96 billion, primarily due to an increase in interest bearing deposits of $182.2 million.

Previous wording

Other income decreased to $6.7 million, as compared to $11.3 million. Other income was adversely impacted by net losses on equity investments of $354,000 in the current quarter. For the prior year period, other income was favorably impacted by net gains on equity investments of $205,000. The remaining decrease of $3.9 million was primarily driven by a decrease in fees and service charges of $1.9 million related to disposition of the title business at the beginning of the fourth quarter last year, and a decrease in a net gain on sale of loans of $886,000 due to the discontinuation of residential loan originations. In addition, the prior period included non-recurring other income of $842,000.

Current wording

Furthermore, there was also a decrease in fees and service charges of $1.8 million and a decrease in net gain on sale of loans of $1.2 million due to the discontinuation of residential loan originations, including the disposition of the title business at the beginning of the fourth quarter last year.

The remaining increase of $4.8 million was primarily driven by an increase in compensation and benefits of $2.7 million, mostly due to the net impact of discontinuation of residential initiatives and commercial banking hires adjusted for annual inflationary increases. The prior year also included a $1.3 million benefit from normal incentive-related adjustments released. Additional drivers were increases in professional fees of $797,000, partly due to higher consulting fees, other operating expenses of $627,000, mostly due to credit risk transfer premium expense, and data processing expense of $405,000.

Current wording

Operating expenses increased to $129.9 million, as compared to $71.5 million. Operating expenses in the current quarter were adversely impacted by merger-related expenses of $42.8 million. The remaining increase of $15.7 million was primarily due to $14.8 million of operating expenses recognized in June from the acquisition of Flushing. The further remaining increase in operating expenses of $877,000 was driven by an increase in compensation and benefits of $2.5 million, mostly due to commercial banking hires adjusted for annual inflationary increases, partly offset by the impact of the residential outsourcing initiative.
