- Loan balances grew at an annualized rate of 3.2%, and total deposits, excluding brokered time deposits, increased by 13% annualized.

- The efficiency ratio improved to 58.86%, reflecting effective expense management and recent investments.

- Nonperforming assets increased from 0.16% to 0.38% of total assets quarter-over-quarter, primarily due to one commercial relationship experiencing financial difficulties.
- The net interest margin displayed a slight decline on a linked quarter basis, primarily due to the acceleration of unamortized issuance costs on subordinated debt redeemed in the third quarter.

- Mortgage loan servicing net generated a gain of only $0.1 million, which was below the forecasted target.
