Current report
In September 2024, the Federal Open Markets Committee ("FOMC") lowered the target range for the federal funds rate by 50 basis points to a range of 4.75% to 5.00%. This decrease, and potential future decreases, may put downward pressure on our net interest margin, as the negative impact on floating rate loans may not be fully offset by the positive impacts of maturing fixed rate loans and securities repricing at higher rates or potential decreases in deposit costs. Generally, we expect increases in market interest rates will increase our net interest income and net interest margin in future periods, while decreases in market interest rates may decrease our net interest income and net interest margin in future periods; however, this depends upon the timing and extent of interest rate fluctuations and may not always be the case.
Current report
•A $1.5 million negative mortgage servicing rights fair value adjustment included the third quarter of 2024 results, primarily due to changes in the prepayment and future interest rate assumptions utilized in the valuations, compared to a $23 thousand positive mortgage servicing rights fair value adjustment included in the third quarter 2023 results;
Current report
•A $44 thousand loss on foreclosed assets was recognized during the third quarter of 2024, compared to a $0.6 million gain on foreclosed assets during the third quarter of 2023, primarily related to the sale of one property; and
Current report
•A $0.7 million increase in salaries expense, primarily driven by annual merit increases;

Current report
During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded income tax expense of $6.3 million, or an effective tax rate of 25.8%, and $6.9 million, or an effective tax rate of 25.9%, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded income tax expense of $18.5 million, or an effective tax rate of 26.4%, and $16.4 million, or an effective tax rate of 25.7%, respectively. The increase in effective tax rate during 2024 was primarily attributable to an additional $0.5 million of tax expense for a deferred tax asset write-down, recognized during the second quarter of 2024, as a result of an Illinois tax change.
Current report
Additionally, heightened net charge-offs within the commercial and industrial segment are primarily related to equipment finance loans which were purchased as part of a pool of loans during 2023.

Previous wording
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act permits us an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards affecting public companies. The Company may remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (1) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, which is December 31, 2024, (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which the Company has $1.235 billion or more in annual revenues, (3) the date on which the Company is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act, or (4) the date on which the Company has, during the previous three year period, issued, publicly or privately, more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities. We have elected to use the extended transition period until we are no longer an emerging growth company or until we choose to affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies.
