Earnings
Net income for the third quarter of 2023 was $39.2 million, or $0.38 per share, compared to $42.8 million, or $0.42 per share in the second quarter of 2023, and $34.0 million, or $0.36 per share for the third quarter of 2022.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income (FTE) of $98.1 million was essentially unchanged from the previous quarter and increased $15.4 million from the prior year quarter. The increase from the prior year quarter was primarily due to a $1.6 billion increase in average interest-earning assets, which includes $1.0 billion in average interest-earning assets acquired in the Centric acquisition.
The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2023 was 3.76%, a decrease of 9 basis points from the previous quarter and unchanged from the third quarter of 2022. The decrease from the previous quarter was due primarily to a 28 basis point increase in the cost of deposits, partially offset by a 21 basis point increase in the yield on loans. The total cost of funds was 1.70% in the third quarter of 2023, which represents an increase of 32 basis points from the previous quarter.
Total average deposits grew $48.4 million in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the previous quarter. Average time deposits grew $123.8 million, which offset a $61.7 million decrease in average noninterest-bearing deposits and a $13.7 million decrease in average interest-bearing demand and savings deposits.
Total portfolio loans increased $101.9 million, or 4.6% annualized, from the previous quarter, driven by strong commercial loan growth, including $36.0 million of growth in Equipment Finance loans and a $45.1 million increase in Commercial Real Estate loans. Total consumer Mortgage loans, including loans for construction, increased $26.7 million from the previous quarter.
Average interest-earning assets increased $125.6 million, or 4.9% annualized, from the previous quarter. Average loans increased $195.7 million, or 8.9% annualized, which offset a $70.1 million decrease in average investment securities and interest-bearing bank deposits.
Asset Quality
Provision expense in the third quarter of 2023 totaled $5.9 million as compared to $2.8 million in the previous quarter. The increase in the provision expense was primarily driven by loan growth and an additional $4.1 million in specific reserves for an updated appraisal on a nonaccrual commercial loan. The increase in provision expense was partially offset by the effect of improvement in the Bank’s high risk portfolio and improved economic factors.
The allowance for credit losses in the third quarter of 2023 totaled $134.3 million as compared to $133.5 million in the previous quarter. The increase from the previous quarter was primarily the result of the aforementioned specific reserves, partially offset by $4.0 million in net charge-offs ($1.2 million of which was related to acquired loans that had been the subject of purchase accounting marks in the first quarter as part of the Centric acquisition).
The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of end-of-period loans in the third quarter of 2023 was 1.51% as compared to 1.52% in the previous quarter.
At September 30, 2023, nonperforming loans totaled $47.9 million, a decrease of $0.1 million from the previous quarter.
Nonperforming loans represented 0.54% of total loans for the period ended September 30, 2023 as compared to 0.54% and 0.48% for the periods ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
During the third quarter of 2023, net charge-offs were $4.0 million as compared to $8.7 million in the previous quarter and $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease from the prior period was primarily due to the charge off of $7.6 million in commercial loans that were acquired in the Centric acquisition, for which the allowance was created in the first quarter of 2023 through purchase accounting marks at the time of the acquisition.
Net charge-offs (annualized) as a percentage of average loans were 0.18%, 0.40% and 0.13% for the periods ended September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense
Noninterest income (excluding security gains and losses) totaled $24.9 million for the third quarter of 2023, as compared to $24.5 million for the second quarter of 2023 and $25.9 million for the third quarter of 2022. There were $0.1 million in net security losses during the third quarter of 2023 and no security gains or losses in the comparable periods.
The $0.4 million increase from the previous quarter was primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in Trust revenue and a $0.3 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in gains on the sale of Small Business Administration (SBA) loans.
Noninterest expense (excluding $0.4 million of merger-related expense) totaled $67.0 million for the third quarter of 2023, as compared to $66.0 million for the second quarter of 2023 and $59.5 million for the third quarter of 2022. Expense increased in comparison with the prior quarter primarily due to a $0.7 million increase in operational losses driven by a $0.9 million recognition of identified losses as part of the implementation of a new debit card charge-off processing system, an increase of $0.6 million due to higher FDIC insurance expense due to the acquisition of Centric Financial Corporation, an increase of $0.4 million in Pennsylvania shares tax and an increase of $0.4 million in other professional fees. These increases were partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in salaries and benefits compared to the prior quarter due to a $1.0 million decrease in hospitalization expense.
The core efficiency ratio was 53.4% during the third quarter of 2023 as compared to 52.8% in the previous quarter and 54.1% in the third quarter of 2022.
Full time equivalent staff was 1,481 at September 30, 2023, 1,483 at June 30, 2023, and 1,422 at September 30, 2022.
