| Statement |
|---|
| The best in at least 15 years, as well as our seventh consecutive quarter for net recoveries |
| Early stage delinquencies remained solid |
| What differentiates us from others is something we're really proud of |
| We knew the tide return and we kept our powder dry, that planning has enabled us to stay well-capitalized, debt free, and is now supporting organic loan growth |
| Our portfolio reached an all-time high over the quarter, hitting a milestone of $5 billion, with our industry-leading first mortgage product making up the lion of share |
| This quarter marked a continuation of strong loan growth to the bank, coming on the heels of an $87 million increase in the second quarter |
| Our second quarter results here at the bank are very strong |
| The news and asset quality remains good |
| As always, we are very proud of our substantial dividend, which we have paid every quarter since 1904 |
| Our status as a portfolio lender is an advantage in this regard |
| Capital remains strong, consolidated equity to assets ratio was 10.31% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 9.65% in the third quarter of 2022 |
| We continue to build upon our granular and diversified deposit foundation and have seen all categories of the portfolio rebound from the beginning of the year |
| The higher rates have continued to drive growth in our home equity products as people like to stay and improve their existing home rather than purchase a new one or refinance their first mortgage |
| Which is proof of the success of our relationship-building focus |
| In addition to the benefits of repricing, it works out great for customers who have felt trapped by their low-rate mortgage |
| And we expect to post continued growth on the quarter |
| Our customers know that they can rely on our strength and stability through market ups and downs |
| Overall, we expect that if the product takes off, we will further contribute to the upward trend of our loan portfolio yield |
| Residential loans increased by a combined $56 million with first mortgages increasing by $33 million and our home equity products climbing by $23 million |
| Average loans for the third quarter grew 7.4% or $337.6 million to $4.9 billion for the third quarter of 2022 |
| Yield on interest-bearing assets increased to 3.88%, up 64 basis points from 3.24% in the third quarter of 2022 |
| We strategically grew all aspects of our loan portfolio through responsible and choice lending |
| As we move forward, our objective is to continue to offer competitive product offerings of the bank through aggressive marketing and product differentiation |
| Loan growth has continued to increase and occurred in all of our loan categories and leading the charge was a residential real estate portfolio |
| As always, which increased by $219.4 million or 5.3% in the third quarter of 2023, over the same period in 2022 |
| Book value per share at September 30, 2023, was $32.80, up 6.2% compared to $30.89 a year earlier |
| As previously stated, the combination of increased interest rates and some new personnel in our commercial loan area has allowed us to be a bit more active versus prior years |
| Also during the quarter, we rolled out our new split-the-difference loan product, which enables us to reprice lower-interest-rate loans, while retaining those critical customer relationships |
| And have a great day |
| Our shareholders have been able to count on us through all economic conditions |
| Statement |
|---|
| Net interest margin from the third quarter of 2023 was 2.85%, down 31 basis points from the third quarter of 2022 |
| The loan backlog has come down somewhat from last quarter and year-over-year |
| Net interest income was $42.2 million for the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $5.6 million or 11.7% compared to the same period in 2022 |
| Overall purchase activity in our residential markets has slowed reflecting nationwide trends |
| Nonperforming loans stand at $17.9 million as of September, down from $19.4 million in June and also down year-over-year |
| We've not sacrificed quality for quantity |
| Nonperforming assets declined to $19.1 million from $20.8 million last quarter |
| Salary expenses down due to a decrease in overall salary expense and decrease in our liability-based equity awards due to low -- our lower stock price |
| Actual results, performance, or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such achievements -- statements due to various risks, uncertainties, and other factors |
| Given the continued low level of ORE expenses, we're going to continue to hold the anticipated level of expenses not to exceed $250,000 per quarter |
