Deposit Growth Surge: Total deposits increased by approximately $300 million compared to Q2 2024, driven by the addition of roughly 25,000 new deposit accounts, including nearly 11,000 non-interest bearing accounts.
Commercial Real Estate Loan Sale: The company anticipates selling upwards of $800 million of performing commercial real estate loans at an attractive 1% discount, which is expected to enhance balance sheet strength and improve regulatory capital ratios by 16 to 20 basis points.
Non-Interest Income Surge: Adjusted non-interest income increased significantly compared to Q2 2024, primarily due to increases in tax credit advisory services and service charges on deposits, reflecting strong operational performance.
Cost Management Success: Non-interest expenses decreased to approximately $264 million, representing a reduction from Q2 2024, demonstrating effective cost management while maintaining necessary investment opportunities.
Negative
Loan Loss Provision Increase: Provision for loan losses exceeded Q3 guidance due to significant growth in C and I loans and a reserve for Hurricane Helena, indicating potential credit risk.
Net Interest Income Decline: Net interest income is expected to decline by approximately $5,000,000 in Q4 due to the anticipated sale of over $800,000,000 of commercial real estate loans, impacting overall profitability.
Allowance Coverage Ratio Projection: The allowance coverage ratio is projected to be approximately 1.20% by year-end, reflecting a slower pace of reserve build and potential credit losses in Q4.
Increased Net Charge-Offs Expected: The company anticipates higher net charge-offs in Q4 due to lingering issues in the commercial real estate sector and the impact of Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
Deposit Costs and Net Margins: Despite a reduction in customer deposit costs by 22 basis points, the overall deposit beta remains at 44%, indicating ongoing pressure on net interest margins.
