| The wealth management fee income this quarter was really strong |
| It's got a good operating history |
| We are pleased that total deposits increased by $539 million or 11.6% annualized during the third quarter of 2023 |
| In terms of the loan pipeline at your guidance still looks like it suggests still a solid level of loan growth for the fourth quarter |
| I think we're still seeing some strength surprisingly in the residential mortgage market |
| As I mentioned, it was 6 basis points of NIM, but the rest of it would be just improved pricing for loans |
| But to the extent that we find some good prospects, we're definitely continuing on with that path |
| As a result, we were able to reduce our borrowings from Federal Home Loan Bank by $800 million during the quarter to $15 million as of September 30, 2023 |
| So the activity there is still fairly strong across the states that we're in |
| Total core deposits increased by $301 million or 10.5% annualized, primarily due to organic growth and seasonal increases |
| Great |
| As a result of expenses incurred in 2023 to strengthen the bank's information security infrastructure, enterprise risk management and from higher FDIC insurance premiums, we expect core noninterest expense, excluding tax credit and core deposit intangible amortizations in OREO expense to increase between 8.5% to 9.5% from 2022 to 2023 |
| Our Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio increased to 12.7% from 12.38% as of June 30, 2023, and our total risk-based capital ratio increased to 14.21% from 13.88% as of June 30, 2023 |
| In the third quarter of 2023, our gross loans increased $71 million or 1.6% annualized, primarily driven by increases of $218 million or 9.9% annualized in commercial real estate loans, and $143 million or 10.9% annualized in residential mortgage loans, offset by a decrease of $227 million or 27.4% annualized in commercial loans |
| In addition, we are taking a hard look in our other expenses during the fourth quarter of 2023 and to reduce the rate of noninterest expense growth in 2024 |
| Commercial real estate is -- that's definitely slowing down, but we're seeing continued activity both from -- mostly from our current client base |
| It looked like the loan yield was up a little more, up about 20 basis points this quarter |
| And it's been -- for each of the three quarters in 2023, that loan set has gone up 20 basis points every quarter |
| And so I think that's really where we saw that pick up |
| As of September 30, 2023, classified loans increased slightly to $202 million from $193 million as of June 30, 2023, and our special mention loans also increased slightly to $278 million from $260 million as of June 30, 2023 |
| Georgia Lo Thank you, Rocco, and good afternoon |
| We're still seeing some activity, some purchases, some refinance from floating rate, but -- so we're seeing some steady |

| This afternoon, we reported net income of $82.4 million for the third quarter of 2023, an 11.6% decrease as compared to a net income of $93.2 million for the second quarter of 2023 |
| Diluted earnings per share decreased 11.8% to $1.13 per share for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $1.28 per share for the second quarter of 2023 |
| For the third quarter of 2023, net income decreased by $10.8 million or 11.6% to $82.4 million compared to $93.2 million for the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to a $6.2 million unrealized loss on equity securities or $0.06 per share in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to a $10.7 million unrealized gain on equity securities or $0.10 per share in the second quarter of 2023 |
| The slower loan growth during the third quarter resulted in part from paydown of several large commercial loans originated in the second quarter of 2023 |
| There's some -- as a result of some significant delays, there's a partner dispute between the partnership |
| Unfortunately, that partnership dispute has led us to where we are |
| Noninterest income during the third quarter of 2023 decreased by $15.3 million to $7.8 million when compared to $23.1 million in the second quarter of 2023 |
| That's why we had to put on nonaccrual |
