The Company monitors the credit quality of HTM securities through credit ratings provided by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and Moody’s Investor Services. Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a security, and are updated at each quarter end. Investment grade securities are rated BBB- or higher by S&P and Baa3 or higher by Moody’s and are generally considered by the rating agencies and market participants to be of low credit risk. Conversely, securities rated below investment grade, which are labeled as speculative grade by the rating agencies, are considered to have distinctively higher credit risk than investment grade securities. There were no speculative grade HTM securities at September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. HTM securities that are not rated are agency mortgage-backed securities sponsored by U.S. government agencies, as well as direct obligations of the agencies, with the remainder being sub-debt of other banks.

Current report
The Company provides banking services to customers who do business in the cannabis industry. While the Company is providing banking services to customers that are engaged in the growing, processing, and sales of cannabis in a manner that complies with applicable state law, such customers engaged in those activities currently violate Federal laws. The Company may be deemed to be aiding and abetting illegal activities through the services that it provides to these customers. While we are not aware of any instance of a federally-insured financial institution being subject to such aiding and abetting liability, the strict enforcement of Federal laws regarding cannabis would likely result in the Company’s inability to continue to provide banking services to these customers and the Company could have legal action taken against it by the Federal government, including imprisonment and fines. There is an uncertainty of the potential impact to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements if the Federal government takes actions against the Company. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had not accrued an amount for the potential impact of any such actions.
Current report
Following is a summary of the level of business activities with our cannabis industry customers:

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Determining fair value is subjective, requiring the use of estimates, assumptions, and management judgment. Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment, usually during the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis if circumstances dictate. Impairment testing requires a qualitative assessment and/or an independent valuation be obtained to determine the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units be compared to the carrying amount of its net assets, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than book value, an impairment loss may be required to write down the related goodwill.

The decrease in total non-interest expenses from the first quarter of 2024 was primarily due to credit card fraud loss of $4.3 million in the first quarter, partially offset by an increase in salaries and wages of $1.5 million. The increase in total non-interest expense from the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to the operation of a larger branch network and employee base due to the merger with TCFC, which significantly impacted almost all expense line items.
Current wording
Total noninterest expense of $34.1 million for the third quarter of 2024 decreased $13.0 million when compared to the third quarter of 2023 total noninterest expense of $47.2 million. The decrease in total noninterest expense from the third quarter of 2023 was primarily due to one time merger related expenses that were incurred in 2023, partially offset by an increase in expenses due to the operation of a larger branch network and employee base due to the merger with TCFC, which significantly impacted almost all expense line items. In addition, despite the increased size, the Company has prudently reduced its staff by approximately 72 FTEs since the consummation of the merger.
Previous wording

Current wording
The Company reported income tax expense of $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2024, and income tax benefit of $5.0 million for the third quarter of 2023. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023 was 25.24% and (33.89%), respectively. The third quarter 2023 tax rate was impacted by a net pre-tax loss, nondeductible merger costs, and reassessment of deferred tax assets and liabilities at an estimated effective tax rate due to an adjustment to state apportionment.

Previous wording
The increase to net income in the first six months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to the merger with TCFC, which resulted in higher net interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by a higher provision for credit losses and noninterest expenses. The increase in net interest income was impacted by higher average balances and yields earned on average earning assets, partially offset by higher average balances and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in provision for credit losses for 2024 was due to higher levels of reserves required by the Company’s CECL model and higher net charge-offs. Almost all noninterest expense line items in 2024 increased as a result of the merger and the expanded operations of the newly combined Company.
Current wording

The increase in net interest income was impacted by higher average balances and yields earned on average earning assets, partially offset by higher average balances and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in the provision for credit losses in 2024 was due to higher levels of reserves required by the Company’s CECL model related to the merger in 2023 and recognition of provision on acquired loans.

The increase in net interest income when compared to the prior period was primarily due to the increase in the average balance of loans of $2.0 billion, or 75.9%, and an increase in net accretion income of $6.7 million. Increases to net interest income were partially offset by increased total interest expense of $37.4 million, or 159.0%, primarily due to increases in the cost of funds and in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $1.6 billion, or 76.8%. All of the noted increases were significantly impacted by the merger.

Previous wording
The Company’s net interest margin increased to 3.09% for 2024 from 2.93% for 2023, primarily due to recent loan growth and repricing of earning assets, higher net accretion due to the merger, a positive shift in lower cost deposits and an overall stabilized funding base. The increase in the average balance and yields earned on average earning assets of $2.1 billion and 100 bps, respectively, were partially offset by increases in the average balance and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits of $1.6 billion and 136 bps, respectively. The average balance on noninterest-bearing deposits increased $522.7 million, or 65.4%. Net accretion income impacted the increased net interest margin by 27 bps and five bps for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Until the balance sheet restructuring in the third quarter of 2023, the net interest margin experienced compression due to the Company’s liability sensitive position, deposit rate pressures and significantly higher FHLB borrowing rates.
Current wording
The Company’s net interest margin remained flat at 3.12% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, as more rapid increases in rates on interest-bearing liabilities were offset by lower increases in interest-earning asset yields and larger balances in noninterest-bearing deposits. The increases in the average balance and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits of $1.02 billion and 104 bps, respectively, were partially offset by increases in the average balance and yields earned on average earning assets of $1.40 billion and 64 bps, respectively.
