Credit quality remained generally sound, with net charge-offs at 0.00% for the quarter and an allowance for credit losses on loans of 1.16%, although nonperforming assets edged up to 0.79% of total assets largely due to a single senior housing construction loan moving to nonaccrual. Management highlighted a 23.6% year-on-year increase in pre-tax pre-provision net revenue and announced a strategic expansion into the Charleston, South Carolina market, assembling a local commercial banking team to drive further loan and deposit growth and deepen the bank’s positioning in the Lowcountry region.
