The outstanding balance of real estate-secured loans in the Maui fire zones totaled approximately $102 million as of March 31, 2024. We require our borrowers to maintain adequate levels of insurance, including fire insurance on residential mortgages.

Net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was $155.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $12.8 million or 8% compared to the same period in 2023. Our net interest margin was 2.91% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of 20 basis points from the same period in 2023. The decrease in net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was primarily due to higher deposit funding costs and lower average balances in our investment securities portfolio, partially offset by higher yields in our loan and lease portfolio and higher average balances in our interest-bearing deposits in other banks during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Deposit funding costs were $84.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $40.8 million or 94% compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to an increase in interest rates. Rates paid on our interest-bearing deposits were 2.54% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of 116 basis points compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to increases in our money market, time and savings deposits. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the average balance of our investment securities portfolio was $6.2 billion, a decrease of $1.2 billion or 16% as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to the sales, maturities and payments of investment securities in 2023. The yield on our loan and lease portfolio was 5.63% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of 67 basis points as compared to the same period in 2023. We experienced an increase in our yields from total loans and leases primarily due to increases in yields from our adjustable-rate commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans, which are largely based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the average balance of our interest-bearing deposits in other banks was $858.6 million, an increase of $559.0 million as compared to the same period in 2023.

Our net interest margin was 2.91% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of 10 basis points from the same period in 2023. The decrease in net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was driven by the interest rate environment and was primarily due to higher deposit funding costs and lower average balances in our investment securities portfolio. This was partially offset by higher earning asset yields driven by higher yields in our loan and lease portfolio and higher average balances on our interest-bearing deposits in other banks during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Deposit funding costs were $169.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $68.4 million or 67% compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to an increase in interest rates. Rates paid on our interest-bearing deposits were 2.56% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of 96 basis points compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to increases in our money market, time and savings deposits.

The yield on our loan and lease portfolio was 5.65% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of 56 basis points as compared to the same period in 2023. We experienced an increase in our yields from total loans and leases primarily due to increases in yields from our adjustable-rate commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans and construction loans, which are largely based on the SOFR, in addition to higher rates on loans that originated during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the average balance on our interest-bearing deposits in other banks was $815.9 million, an increase of $380.7 million or 87% compared to the same period in 2023.

The Federal Reserve influences the general market rates of interest, including the deposit and loan rates offered by many financial institutions. Our loan portfolio is affected by changes in the prime interest rate.

The Provision was $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $2.5 million or 28% as compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease in the Provision was primarily due to decreases in the provision for consumer loans and home equity lines and the provision for unfunded construction and home equity line commitments. This was partially offset by increases in the provision for commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans and construction loans. We recorded net charge-offs of loans and leases of $3.8 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This represented net charge-offs of 0.11% and 0.09% of average loans and leases, on an annualized basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The ACL was $159.8 million as of March 31, 2024, an increase of $3.3 million or 2% from December 31, 2023 and represented 1.12% of total outstanding loans and leases as of March 31, 2024 compared to 1.09% of total outstanding loans and leases as of December 31, 2023. The reserve for unfunded commitments was $34.8 million as of March 31, 2024, compared to $35.6 million as of December 31, 2023. The Provision is recorded to maintain the ACL and the reserve for unfunded commitments at levels deemed adequate by management based on the factors noted in the “Risk Governance and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Credit Risk” section of this MD&A.

The decrease in the Provision for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to decreases in the provision for construction loans, home equity lines and commercial and industrial loans and the provision for unfunded commercial real estate and construction commitments. This was partially offset by increases in the provision for residential mortgage loans and commercial real estate loans. We recorded net charge-offs of loans and leases of $2.5 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This represented net charge-offs of 0.07% and 0.10% of average loans and leases, on an annualized basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Provision was $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $5.7 million or 41% as compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in the provision for consumer loans, home equity lines and construction loans and the provision for unfunded construction and home equity line commitments. This was partially offset by increases in the provision for residential mortgage loans, commercial real estate loans and lease financing. We recorded net charge-offs of loans and leases of $6.3 million and $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

We hold interests in several unconsolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”). These unconsolidated VIEs are primarily low-income housing tax credit investments in partnerships and limited liability companies. Variable interests are defined as contractual ownership or other interests in an entity that change with fluctuations in an entity’s net asset value. The primary beneficiary consolidates the VIE. Based on our analysis, we have determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of these entities. As a result, we do not consolidate these VIEs. Unfunded commitments to fund these low-income housing tax credit investments were $77.2 million and $80.7 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Current wording
We hold interests in several unconsolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”). These unconsolidated VIEs are primarily low-income housing tax credit investments in partnerships and limited liability companies. Variable interests are defined as contractual ownership or other interests in an entity that change with fluctuations in an entity’s net asset value. The primary beneficiary consolidates the VIE. Based on our analysis, we have determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of these entities. As a result, we do not consolidate these VIEs. Unfunded commitments to fund these low-income housing tax credit investments were $92.2 million and $80.7 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

We sell residential mortgage loans on the secondary market, primarily to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The agreements under which we sell residential mortgage loans to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac contain provisions that include various representations and warranties regarding the origination and characteristics of the residential mortgage loans. Although the specific representations and warranties vary among investors, insurance or guarantee agreements, they typically cover ownership of the loan, validity of the lien securing the loan, the absence of delinquent taxes or liens against the property securing the loan, compliance with loan criteria set forth in the applicable agreement, compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws and other matters. The unpaid principal balance of our portfolio of residential mortgage loans sold was $1.3 billion as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The agreements under which we sell residential mortgage loans require delivery of various documents to the investor or its document custodian. Although these loans are primarily sold on a non-recourse basis, we may be obligated to repurchase residential mortgage loans or reimburse investors for losses incurred if a loan review reveals that underwriting and documentation standards were potentially not met in the origination of those loans. Upon receipt of a repurchase request, we work with investors to arrive at a mutually agreeable resolution. Repurchase demands are typically reviewed on an individual loan by loan basis to validate the claims made by the investor to determine if a contractually required repurchase event has occurred. We manage the risk associated with potential repurchases or other forms of settlement through our underwriting and quality assurance practices and by servicing mortgage loans to meet investor and secondary market standards. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no residential mortgage loan repurchases and there were no pending repurchase requests.

Previous wording
In addition to servicing loans in our portfolio, substantially all of the loans we sell to investors are sold with servicing rights retained. We also service loans originated by other mortgage loan originators. As servicer, our primary duties are to: (1) collect payments due from borrowers; (2) advance certain delinquent payments of principal and interest; (3) maintain and administer any hazard, title or primary mortgage insurance policies relating to the mortgage loans; (4) maintain any required escrow accounts for payment of taxes and insurance and administer escrow payments; and (5) foreclose on defaulted mortgage loans, or loan modifications or short sales. Each agreement under which we act as servicer generally specifies a standard of responsibility for actions taken by the Company in such capacity and provides protection against expenses and liabilities incurred by the Company when acting in compliance with the respective servicing agreements. However, if we commit a material breach of obligations as servicer, we may be subject to termination if the breach is not cured within a specified period following notice. The standards governing servicing and the possible remedies for violations of such standards vary by investor. These standards and remedies are determined by servicing guides issued by the investors as well as the contract provisions established between the investors and the Company. Remedies could include repurchase of an affected loan. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had no repurchase requests related to loan servicing activities, nor were there any pending repurchase requests as of March 31, 2024.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
Net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was $154.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $6.8 million or 4% compared to the same period in 2023. Our net interest margin was 2.92% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of one basis point from the same period in 2023. The decrease in net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was primarily due to higher deposit funding costs, partially offset by higher earning asset yields driven by the higher yields in our loan and lease portfolio during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Deposit funding costs were $85.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $27.5 million or 47% compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to an increase in interest rates. Rates paid on our interest-bearing deposits were 2.58% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of 76 basis points compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to increases in our money market, time and savings deposits. The yield on our loan and lease portfolio was 5.67% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of 45 basis points as compared to the same period in 2023. We experienced an increase in our yields from total loans and leases primarily due to increases in yields from our adjustable-rate commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans, which are largely based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), in addition to higher rates on loans that originated during the period.

Net loss for the Treasury and Other segment was $27.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net income of $1.8 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in net loss for the Treasury and Other segment was primarily due to a $31.1 million increase in net interest expense and a $10.6 million increase in noninterest expense. This was partially offset by a $9.0 million increase in the benefit for income taxes, a negative Provision of $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and a $2.4 million increase in noninterest income. The increase in net interest expense was primarily due to an increase in net transfer pricing charges that reside in the Treasury and Other segment, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense from public deposits. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to lower credit allocations to the Treasury and Other segment and an increase in equipment expense, partially offset by decreases in salaries and benefits expense and contracted services and professional fees. The increase in the benefit for income taxes was primarily due to the increase in pretax loss. The decrease in the Provision was primarily due to the decreases in the provision for unfunded commercial real estate and construction commitments. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to insurance proceeds received in the three months ended June 30, 2024 and a decrease in net losses recognized in income related to derivative contracts.

presales of finished inventory or preleasing requirements prior to loan funding. However, because this analysis is typically performed on a forward looking basis, real estate construction projects typically present a higher risk profile in our lending activities. Lease financing activities include commercial single investor leases and leveraged leases used to purchase items ranging from computer equipment to transportation equipment. Underwriting of new leasing arrangements typically includes analyzing customer cash flows, evaluating secondary sources of repayment, such as the value of the leased asset, the guarantors’ net cash flows as well as other credit enhancements provided by the lessee.
