Total investment securities at September 30, 2023 decreased $29.8 million to $880.4 million from $910.2 million at June 30, 2023, and increased $204.7 million from $675.7 million at September 30, 2022. Total cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2023 decreased $63.4 million to $161.0 million from $224.4 million at June 30, 2023, and increased $48.5 million from $112.5 million at September 30, 2022.

Total deposits at September 30, 2023 increased $49.0 million to $8.57 billion from $8.52 billion at June 30, 2023, consisting of an $87.5 million increase in customer deposits, partially offset by a $38.5 million decrease in brokered deposits, and increased $1.8 billion from $6.74 billion at September 30, 2022, primarily driven by the completion of the PCSB acquisition.

Total borrowed funds at September 30, 2023 decreased $91.2 million to $1.1 billion from $1.2 billion at June 30, 2023, and increased $376.3 million from $758.8 million at September 30, 2022.

The ratio of stockholders’ equity to total assets was 10.36 percent at September 30, 2023, compared to 10.37 percent at June 30, 2023, and 11.08 percent at September 30, 2022. The ratio of tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets (non-GAAP) was 8.16 percent at both September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, and 9.39 percent at September 30, 2022.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income decreased $2.0 million to $84.1 million during the third quarter of 2023 from $86.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The net interest margin decreased 8 basis points to 3.18 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 3.26 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily driven by higher funding costs.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total non-interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was $5.5 million and flat compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $5.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Total net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2023 were $11.0 million compared to $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by $10.2 million in net charge-offs on two commercial loans, the majority of which was previously reserved for. The ratio of net loan and lease charge-offs to average loans and leases on an annualized basis increased to 47 basis points for the third quarter of 2023 from 5 basis points for the second quarter of 2023.

The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.27 percent of total loans and leases at September 30, 2023, compared to 1.35 percent at June 30, 2023, and 1.27 percent at September 30, 2022, driven by a decline in individually assessed reserves due to the aforementioned charge-offs.

ASSET QUALITY

The ratio of nonperforming loans and leases to total loans and leases was 0.55 percent at September 30, 2023, an increase from 0.50 percent at June 30, 2023. Total nonaccrual loans and leases increased $4.9 million to $51.2 million at September 30, 2023 from $46.3 million at June 30, 2023. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.46 percent at September 30, 2023, an increase from 0.42 percent at June 30, 2023. Total nonperforming assets increased $4.6 million to $51.5 million at September 30, 2023 from $46.9 million at June 30, 2023. The increase in nonperforming assets was primarily driven by a $14.8 million commercial real estate relationship becoming non-accrual during the quarter, partially offset by two commercial relationships of which $10.2 million was charged off during the quarter.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 decreased $0.1 million to $57.7 million from $57.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease of $1.0 million in merger and acquisition expense and a decrease of $0.5 million in FDIC insurance expense, partially offset by an increase of $0.7 million in other non-interest expense and an increase of $0.4 million in professional services expense.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 21.4 percent and 20.3 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 21.4 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 18.7 percent and 22.9 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Forward-looking statements may differ, possibly materially, from what is included in this press release due to factors and future developments that are uncertain and beyond the scope of the Company’s control.

Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which are difficult to predict. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among others, the risks outlined in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings submitted to the SEC.
