| Arizona continues to have a very, very strong economy |
| And then, we also continue to have a fairly robust new account strategy that's working well for us |
| We like the positive trends on our interest income and expect some moderating trends on interest expense at this point, and believe this sets the stage for margin growth in 2024 |
| So yeah, we had great progress growing deposits in the third quarter |
| We're very pleased to see the strong deposit growth driven by all of our divisions |
| Our teams were able to leverage their strong existing relationships and market presence to achieve these impressive results |
| I would say what's really encouraging is that the growth that we realized in the third quarter was based on a lower overall pace of cost increase than in the second quarter |
| Our credit performance continues to be excellent |
| I think higher for longer sets up really well for us |
| I think that's very positive |
| It was good to see the growth this quarter |
| So, I think that that's positive for us given our experience in it |
| So, we're very, very pleased to see that |
| Well, we're very optimistic |
| Our capital levels are strong and growing with estimated CET1 increasing 13 basis points from the prior quarter to 12.55% |
| So, with that, we remain confident in the dynamic Western markets we serve and our unique business model to continue to deliver strong results |
| So, the core funding, no, we're very, very happy to see the growth that we put forth in really, at the core, it's back to the divisions and the model |
| So, we released our third quarter earnings after the close of the market yesterday, and the Glacier Bancorp team delivered another strong quarter |
| In terms of new, very happy with that as well |
| And then as we build scale in a lot of our markets, becoming the largest institution or one of the larger institutions delivering really good service as some competitors take their eye off the ball, it just creates an opportunity for us to bring new people in |
| And so, just all doing well, I think the same trends that drove the growth prior to the pandemic are still there, lower cost of living, higher quality of life, little business-friendly environments, still pulling in, we're still seeing the immigration and I think good economic activity as well despite kind of amazing if you think about all that external headwinds outside the banking industry, still seeing a fair amount of optimism and growth |
| And I think we're in a very good position, as you noted, with that level of cash over $1.7 billion in cash |
| But I am very optimistic about the trajectory for margins in the higher for longer environment |
| So, very encouraged by signs and the progress that we've made so far |
| And as you know, Dave, we have a machine really that we focus on, meaning all our divisions, the one thing -- one consistent theme across all of them is the drive for good quality new customers in the marketplace |
| That's terrific |
| So, we're optimistic |
| Look, it's been a phenomenal year from a expense standpoint |
| And really, at this point, Matthew, our main goal is to get us in a good position to take care of that |
| I think -- and we're optimistic because probably the number of people who can really act -- the number of companies can really actively pursue it is probably less so than in the past |

| If we see some additional runoff there, that could put some pressure on margins |
| And although the net interest margin has been negatively impacted by the increase in interest rates in the current year, we experienced a slower pace in the decline in the net interest margin during the current quarter |
| I could see scenarios where that happens, but there are risks to that as well |
| And so those cash flows have come down a little bit |
| But at these rates, they're really rethinking some of their projects, not all of them, but we are seeing a deceleration in the incoming business |
| Do they need to get more aggressive in order to really stem inflation? We'll have to see |
| So, we're just in a volatile environment |
| The Fed have to get more aggressive |
| Early-stage delinquencies of $15 million at the end of the quarter decreased $10 million from the prior quarter and decreased $6 million from the prior year-end |
| I mean, funding pressures probably persist near term |
| We initially were slow to react because we wanted to see where this is going to play out |
| Total noninterest expense of $130 million for the current quarter decreased $1 million or 79 basis points over the prior quarter and decreased $484,000 or 37 basis points over the prior year third quarter |
| The current quarter provision for credit loss expense was $5.1 million, which is a decrease of $160,000 from the prior quarter and a $3.3 million decrease from the prior year third quarter |
| It seems like given the larger balance sheet, maybe we can see NII stabilize and maybe a bit of margin compression into the first or second quarter of next year |
| So, you probably captured a decent amount of that benefit in cost of funds? Or just trying to get a sense for, Byron, as you range-bound these variables into timing, and I know that I respect the still working on the timing, but a bottom of the margin in the fourth quarter, all things being equal, would you be surprised if that is the bottom in Q4? Byron Pollan It's possible |
| Nonperforming assets to bank assets of 15 basis points was little changed from last quarter, as was net charge-off to average loans, which ended the quarter at only 4 basis points |
| From a seasonal perspective, fourth quarter is a little bit of a mixed bag |
| I mentioned the declining pace of cost increase |
| But at least at this point, we don't see a title wave of deals, but we do see slow and steady conversations with, I think, some very good banks |
| So, I could see a scenario where we do see a bottom in the fourth quarter, but there are a lot of variables at play that we still have to see how that play out |
