Prepayment penalty income of $115 thousand, $43 thousand and $3 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively, was from Commercial Real Estate (“CRE”) and Commercial and Industrial (“C&I”) loans. |
First Quarter 2024 vs. Fourth Quarter 2023
Net interest income decreased $251 thousand, or 1.5%, primarily due to higher interest expense on deposits, partially offset by higher interest income on loans. Net interest margin was 3.06%, a decrease of 6 basis points from 3.12%.
- A $1.5 million increase in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to a $78.4 million, or 6.3%, increase in average balance.
- A $1.2 million increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to a $21.4 million, or 1.2%, increase in average balance and a $837 thousand increase in net interest recognized on nonaccrual loans.
First Quarter 2024 vs. First Quarter 2023
Net interest income decreased $1.9 million, or 10.7%, primarily due to higher interest expense on deposits and borrowings, partially offset by higher interest income on loans as our deposit and borrowing costs repriced more quickly than our interest-earning assets. Net interest margin was 3.06%, a decrease of 51 basis points from 3.57%.
- A $5.3 million increase in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to a $125.6 million, or 10.5%, increase in average balance and a 125 basis point increase in average cost driven by the Federal Reserve’s rate increases.
- A $939 thousand increase in interest expense on borrowings was primarily due to a $82.5 million, or 315.3%, increase in average balance.
- A $4.1 million increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to a $83.5 million, or 4.8%, increase in average balance and a 59 basis point increase in average yield as a result of the Federal Reserve’s rate increases.

First Quarter 2024 vs. Fourth Quarter 2023
The Company recorded a $145 thousand provision for credit losses, a decrease of $485 thousand, compared with a $630 thousand provision for credit losses.
Provision for credit losses on loans was $193 thousand, primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in the quantitative general reserve, mostly offset by a $1.7 million decrease in the qualitative reserve. The increase in the quantitative reserve was due to the increase in the average life of home mortgage loans because of the slower prepayment rate based on the 2-year look back period. The decrease in the qualitative reserve was due to noticeable improvements in various asset quality metrics and improving economic and business conditions.
First Quarter 2024 vs. First Quarter 2023
The Company recorded a $145 thousand provision for credit losses, a decrease of $483 thousand, compared with a $338 thousand reversal of credit losses.
