Current report
Net income: Our net income available to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $6.7 million, or 34.6%, to $12.6 million compared to $19.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Earnings per share were $1.05 per basic common share and $1.04 per diluted common share for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $1.61 per basic common share and $1.59 per diluted common share for the same period last year. The decrease in net income available to common shareholders primarily resulted from an increase in interest expense of $11.0 million, an increase in provision for credit losses of $2.6 million, and a decrease in non-interest income of $1.1 million, partially offset by an increase in interest income of $6.4 million.
Current report
Net interest income: Our net interest income decreased $4.6 million, or 14.1%, to $28.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $33.0 million for the same period last year. Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2024, increased $6.4 million to $59.7 million, or 12.0%, from $53.3 million for the same period of 2023. The increase in interest income was primarily due to an increase in interest and fees on loans of $6.5 million, primarily due to an increase in market interest rates and balances outstanding, partially offset by a decrease in interest earned on Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") deposits of $0.2 million. Interest expense increased $11.0 million, or 54.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to an increase in interest paid on deposits of $10.5 million, or 62.9%, primarily due to an increase in market interest rates and a shift in deposit mix. Further contributing to the increase in interest expense was an increase in interest on borrowings of $0.5 million, or 15.1%, due to an increase in borrowing levels and higher market interest rates.
Current report
Provision for credit losses: The provision for credit losses was $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a recovery of provision for credit losses of $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in the outstanding loan balance of $17.8 million from the balance at December 31, 2023, specifically in the construction 1 - 4 family, and multi-family portfolios. The provision recovery of $1.9 million during the same period in 2023 was primarily related to decreases in loss factors related to the construction, commercial owner occupied, and residential 1 to 4 family investment portfolios. For more information about our provision for credit losses and our allowance for loan and lease losses and loss experience, see “Financial Condition-Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” below and Note 4 - Loans And Allowance For Credit Losses on Loans to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Current report
Non-interest income: Our non-interest income was $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 33.0%, compared to $3.4 million for the same period last year. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in service fees on deposit accounts of $1.4 million, partially offset by an increase in other income of $0.3 million. Fee income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from commercial deposit accounts of depositors who do business in the cannabis-related industry totaled $0.5 million, compared to $2.0 million for the same period last year. Fee income is included in service fees on deposit accounts in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

We actively review our capital strategies in light of current and anticipated business risks, future growth opportunities, industry standards, and compliance with regulatory requirements. The assessment of overall capital adequacy depends on a variety of factors, including asset quality, liquidity, earnings stability, competitive forces, economic conditions, and strength of management. Our objective is to maintain capital at an amount commensurate with our risk profile and risk tolerance objectives, and to meet both regulatory and market expectations. We primarily manage our capital through the retention of earnings. We also use other means to manage our capital.
