Net interest income was $4,744,017 for the quarter ending December 31, 2024, an increase of $1,066,547 or 29%, from the same period in 2023. The change in net interest income was driven by a $63.4 million increase in average interest earning assets and a 63 basis point increase in the yield on earning assets.

Net interest income was $17,338,217 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2024, an increase of $1,942,378, or 13%, from the same period in 2023. The increase was due to loan growth and greater yields on interest earning assets, offset partially by an increase in the cost of funds.

Provision for loan losses for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, was $266,446 compared to $113,463 for the same period in 2023. Provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $711,630 compared to $233,943 recorded for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Noninterest Expense was $2,453,364 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to $2,300,334 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. The increase of $153,030, or 7% was due primarily to an increase in salaries and employee benefits for the addition of three employees. This increase was offset partially by lower data processing fees due to the change of our core processing provider.

Noninterest Expense was $10,198,448 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $8,701,281 for the year ended December 31, 2023.  The increase of $1,497,167 was due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits for the addition of three employees. Offsetting part of this increase was a decrease in reserves for unfunded commitments.  

Jim Marshall, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are extremely pleased with our performance in the fourth quarter especially with our loan and deposit growth. Loan growth may be a record quarter, and with the majority being booked late within the quarter, so the true interest income benefits will be felt in the first quarter of 2025 and beyond. Optimism appears to be a common theme we are hearing with many customers ramping up spending on plant, equipment, and inventory late in the fourth quarter. We expect this to continue deep into the first half of 2025 and maybe beyond.

Our capital position, credit quality, efficiency, and earnings strength continue to position us for a very nice 2025 and among the strongest and best performing community banks in the country."
