- The Board approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.44 per share, and the bank repurchased 1 million shares at an average price of $37 per share.
- Noninterest income increased to $56 million, driven by higher card volume, loan repayment fees, and asset management income.
- The bank's balance sheet remains liquid and conservatively positioned, with period-end deposit balances increasing to $12.7 billion.
- Net interest margin decreased by 3 basis points to 2.61% due to rising deposit costs and a decline in treasury yields.
- The bank expects past due and accruing loans to remain elevated due to a legacy hospitality facility in Bermuda undergoing receivership and sale.
- There is a modest increase in the cost of deposits due to a shift to term deposits as customers seek higher yields.

- Asset sensitivity increased slightly, and the bank expects some net interest margin compression if interest rates decline further.
