M. Ray “Hoppy” Cole, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our overall results for the quarter. Operating income increased 10% quarter over quarter due to reduced operating expenses and some stabilization in the margin.

Net income available to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2024 increased $9.6 million to $20.6 million compared to $11.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Excluding one-time items detailed in the tables included with this press release, net earnings available to common shareholders, operating (non-GAAP) increased $1.9 million, or 10.1%, to $20.6 million for quarter ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $18.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. The increase in net earnings is attributable to a decrease in non-interest expense of $1.0 million and a decrease in provision for credit losses of $1.3 million.

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $57.3 million as compared to $57.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $0.3 million. The decrease was largely due to the decrease in accretion of purchase accounting adjustments of $0.6 million as well as increased interest expense of $3.3 million partially offset by an increase in interest income of $2.9 million.

First quarter 2024 net interest margin of 3.20% included 15 basis points related to purchase accounting adjustments compared to 3.28% for the fourth quarter in 2023, which included 19 basis points related to purchase accounting adjustments.

Core net interest margin decreased 4 basis points to 3.10% for the first quarter of 2024 from 3.14% for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Investment securities totaled $1.745 billion, or 21.9% of total assets at March 31, 2024, compared to $1.735 billion, or 21.7% of total assets at December 31, 2023.

Cost of all deposits averaged 178 basis points for the first quarter of 2024 compared to 154 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2023. This increase was a result of rising interest rates and competition for deposits.

Non-interest income increased $10.3 million from $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 to $12.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily attributable to a $9.7 million loss on sales of available for sale investment securities in the fourth quarter for 2023.

Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2024 was $43.4 million compared to $44.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $1.0 million.

Purchase accounting adjustments increased $1.0 million for the first quarter comparisons. The decrease was largely due to increased interest expense due to increased competition for deposits.

First quarter of 2024 net interest margin was 3.20%, which included 15 basis points related to purchase accounting adjustments compared to 3.63% for the same quarter in 2023, which included 19 basis points related to purchase accounting adjustments.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP measures are used by management to supplement the evaluation of our performance. This press release includes pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings, FTE net interest income, FTE net interest margin, core net interest margin, FTE average yield on investment securities, FTE average yield on all earning assets, total tangible common equity, tangible book value per common share, net earnings available to common shareholders, operating, diluted earnings per share, operating, efficiency ratio, operating and certain ratios derived from these non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release allow management and investors to understand and compare results in a more consistent manner for the periods presented in this press release. Fully-tax equivalent, or "FTE", financial metrics are measures used by management to evaluate the corresponding GAAP financial metrics in a manner that takes into account the tax benefits associated with income sources that are exempt from state or federal taxes. Core net interest margin is used by management to measure the net return on earnings assets, which includes investment securities, loans, and leases but excludes certain income and expense items that the Company's management considers to be non-core/adjusted in nature. Similarly, "operating" financial metrics, including operating efficiency ratio and operating earnings per share, are used by management to evaluate operating results exclusive of items that are not indicative of ongoing operations and impact period-to-period comparisons. Management uses "tangible" financial metrics, including tangible common equity and tangible book value, to measure the value of the Company's assets net of intangible assets, such as goodwill. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental and not a substitute for the Company’s results reported in accordance with GAAP for the periods presented, and other bank holding companies may define or calculate these measures differently. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation and do not purport to be an alternative to net income, earnings per share, net interest income, book value, net interest margin, common equity, net earnings available to common shareholders, diluted earnings per share, efficiency ratio, average yield on investment securities, average yield on all earning assets, or other GAAP financial measures as a measure of operating performance. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure is provided in this press release following the Condensed Consolidated Financial Information (unaudited).
