| Our healthcare business continues to be strong as we continue to focus more on direct sales with our customer base, our card spend, we expect to continue to be strong going forward whether it's healthcare spend or it's commercial |
| So multifamily and industrial remain very strong, while obviously office and other categories are winning significantly |
| We expect some continued outperformance relative to the industry and loan growth metrics |
| I continue to be extremely proud of the long track record and prudent underwriting that has produced these asset quality metrics, our loan portfolio remains healthy with 8 basis points net charge-offs for the third quarter and just 6 basis points year-to-date |
| And we're pleased with the results and we hope you are as well |
| But we fully expect a higher for longer scenario at least through 2024 such a scenario would be favorable for our balance sheet as the pressure on deposit costs largely abate while asset repricing continues through that period |
| And while everybody's asset quality looks good right now, ours looked good in the last cycle, so we continue to have excellent asset quality |
| The pipeline remains very strong for that business, there has been a lot of dislocation continues to be a lot of dislocation in the space as the private equity firms have got into the business and acquired our competitors has been very good for our business and we expect that to continue to be the case |
| Our results reflect a strong disciplined loan growth, stable deposits, continued momentum in many of our fee-generating businesses, expense control, stable margin and solid asset quality |
| Additionally, earning asset yields will improve as we use cash flows from our securities portfolio to fund higher yielding loans |
| Finally, we've strengthened our liquidity and capital position even further during the quarter as depicted on Slide 32 |
| This all comes down to cost at end of the day, we have a very, very strong ability |
| In fee income, we saw positive results in several lines of business |
| You know, it's great to see improvement across the Board in 3Q |
| You've talked and done a really good job historically on operating leverage, expenses were really well controlled this quarter |
| Year-to-date, our team has added nearly 50 new clients, which helps drive the 9.2% increase in revenue as we saw in a linked quarter basis |
| So we think those two things continue to present strong, high quality opportunities for us |
| Credit quality is strong across our book, and the CRE portfolio remains well diversified by property classification, tenant type and geography |
| So kind of all cylinders really, we feel like there's nice profile growth across all of our non-interest income verticals and continue to feel good about that |
| Yes, I might just remind everybody before we're done, just because it has been a - it started in April with the way the world looked and you looked and to get to where we are now, we feel pretty good about where we sit |
| So with a higher interest rate environment and a low supply - housing supply in the marketplace, there's still very strong interest and demand for multifamily |
| And then looking at the loan growth, the CRE construction growth remains pretty impressive |
| I'm happy to be here with you today to share the details of our strong third quarter performance |
| We've had the best five quarters linked together we've had in our history from an asset quality standpoint |
| We're pleased with our results this quarter, the partners have varying opinions, but it seems clear than inflation levels, however you want to measure it, haven't reached the Federal Reserve's expectation |
| The flexibility on the asset side of our balance sheet helps mitigate the continued impact of liability pricing |
| We continue to have outsized loan growth |
| Additionally, the portfolio is expected to generate more than $1.6 billion of cash flows in the next 12 months, providing further funding flexibility |
| As we bring on loans, we feel very comfortable about our ability to price them appropriately to maintain a respectable margins and spread |
| The rollout of these securities, which have a blended rate of 2.18% will also improve our AOCI position over that period |

| We said we would go through the margin trouble early and then while others were seeing the declines, we flatten out on a link quarter basis, you've seen us flatten out margin on a link quarter basis |
| Net interest margin for the third quarter was 2.43%, a decrease of just 1 basis point from the link quarter |
| While we'll see some additional modest margin compression driven by mix shift as rate bearing public funds come on the balance sheet |
| Our reported noninterest income of $133.3 million contains some market related variances as to second quarter levels, including a $3.5 million decrease in company owned life insurance income and $896,000 decrease in customer related derivative income as well as the impact of the $4 million gain on the sale of assets we discussed last quarter |
| It's more challenging in this environment to accomplish really, I would guess what any of us want to accomplish |
| I think one thing that we've seen from some of your peers thus far in earnings season is some greater scrutiny on shared national credits |
| Our provision was low compared - and then charge offs are low as well |
| As Mariner said, we had 13% decline in quarter-over-quarter on our pass-watch loans and 6% in our classified |
| For the HTM portfolio, this loss was $876 million, including the IRB bonds |
| And the decline in the third quarter DDA balances were more episodic because of some of our corporate trust deals |
| And then just one last one, I know you guys don't pay a ton of attention to end-of-period balances, but I was a little surprised to see the non-interest-bearing attrition accelerate versus last quarter |
| I'll start with our investment portfolio shown on slides 28 and 29, our average investment security balances declined 2.7% from the second quarter to $12.3 billion the held-to-maturity book included $1.2 billion of industrial revenue bonds |
| We recorded, $133.4 million in salary and benefits expense, a decrease of $9.9 million compared to the second quarter |
| We have low loan loss ratio, lower than our peers and industry medians |
| All indications are that the data dependent Fed will pause on further interest rate hikes |
| Our deposit remix showed some signs of slowing this quarter, and we ended the quarter with 32% of total average deposits in DDA |
| And although it's difficult to know for certain, we expect, we are approaching the bottom |
| And then I think - I want to make sure, I heard you the fourth quarter loan growth was the expectation moderation from this quarter, or I may have missed that |
| Despite uncertainty from the brewing geopolitical crisis, as well as the volatility in interest rates |
| While net interest income for the industry continues to be impacted by higher funding costs our net interest margin in the third quarter, essentially flat on a linked quarter basis |
