The Company’s total investment securities portfolio decreased by $23.3 million, or 2.1%, from $1.10 billion at December 31, 2023 to $1.07 billion at March 31, 2024, primarily due to pay-downs and amortization of $21.0 million during the quarter.
Total deposits, excluding wholesale deposits remained flat as compared to December 31, 2023 and totaled $4.02 billion at March 31, 2024. Total deposits, inclusive of wholesale deposits, decreased by $135.8 million, or 3.1%, to $4.19 billion at March 31, 2024, as compared to $4.32 billion at December 31, 2023, primarily due to lower wholesale deposit balances. The Company utilized lower cost Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLB Boston”) funding to replace higher priced wholesale certificates of deposit.
- Certificates of deposit totaled $575.0 million at March 31, 2024, representing a decrease of $99.4 million, or 14.7%, from $674.4 million at December 31, 2023, primarily driven by lower wholesale deposit balances.

- The cost of total deposits was 2.18% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to 2.19% for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Borrowings totaled $546.4 million at March 31, 2024, representing a $94.3 million increase from $452.2 million at December 31, 2023, as the Company migrated wholesale funding toward FHLB Boston borrowings during the quarter.
Net Interest and Dividend Income
Net interest and dividend income, before the provision for credit losses, decreased by $1.1 million, or 4.0%, to $27.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $28.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. This was primarily due to higher cost of funds, partially offset by higher yields on earning assets.
The Company’s net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis decreased by four basis points to 2.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to 2.14% for the three months ended December 31, 2023.
In order to provide greater disclosure of the impact of loan related merger accounting, a reconciliation of the Company’s net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, to an adjusted net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, is shown below. Excluding the impact of merger related loan accretion, the adjusted net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was 2.05%, representing a five basis point decrease from the adjusted net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, of 2.10% for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Provision for Credit Losses
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $125,000, as compared to $569,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in the provision is primarily due to lower average loan balances and low unemployment rate, which were partially offset by an increase in the provision for individually analyzed loans.
Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income increased by $169,000, or 1.6%, to $10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $10.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. This change was primarily the result of higher wealth management revenue, partially offset by lower loan related derivative income. Noninterest income was 28.2% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
- Wealth management revenue increased by $237,000, or 2.8%, to $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $8.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Wealth Management Assets under Management and Administration were $4.80 billion at March 31, 2024, an increase of $205.6 million, or 4.5%, from $4.60 billion at December 31, 2023, primarily due to improvements in the equity and bond markets.
- Loan related derivative income decreased by $96,000, or 84.2%, to $18,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $114,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of lower volume of loan related derivative transactions.
Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense increased by $1.4 million, or 5.0%, to $28.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $26.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there was an increase in non-operating expenses, salary and employee benefits expense, data processing fees, and professional fees, which were partially offset by lower FDIC insurance expense as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023.
- Non-operating expense increased by $709,000, or 101.6%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $698,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2023, due to merger expenses of $673,000 related to the Eastern merger and office consolidation expenses of $734,000 associated with the recent sublease of an operations center, as the Company decreased its leased office space. This will improve future run rate occupancy cost.
- Salary and employee benefits expense increased by $260,000, or 1.5%, to $17.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $17.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to the seasonality of higher employee benefit costs during the first quarter combined with regular merit increases. These increases were partially offset by lower head count during the quarter, which has amounted to a reduction in salaries and benefits expense of 6.3% since the same period last year.
- Data processing fees increased by $239,000, or 9.2%, to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $2.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023.
- Professional fees increased by $225,000, or 37.5%, to $825,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $600,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to the timing of higher legal and consulting costs.
Asset Quality
Non-performing loans totaled $17.2 million, or 0.43% of total loans outstanding at March 31, 2024, as compared to $16.6 million, or 0.41% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2023. The allowance for credit losses was $39.3 million, or 0.98% of total loans outstanding at March 31, 2024, as compared to $38.9 million, or 0.97% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2023.
The Company recorded net loan charge-offs of $2,000, or 0.00% of total loans (annualized), for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to net loan recoveries of $10,000, or 0.00% of total loans (annualized), for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 25.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to an effective tax rate of 27.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to the impact of non-deductible merger related expenses recorded during the periods noted.

Statements other than statements of current or historical fact, including statements regarding the Company’s future financial condition, results of operations, business plans, liquidity, cash flows, projected costs, and the impact of any laws or regulations applicable to the Company. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” and other similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Measures
This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. This information includes operating net income and operating diluted earnings per share, tangible book value per share and the tangible common equity ratio, operating return on average assets, operating return on tangible common equity, and operating efficiency ratio.
Operating net income and operating diluted earnings per share exclude items that management believes are unrelated to its core banking business such as merger and acquisition expenses, gain (loss) on disposition of investment securities, and other items. The Company’s management uses operating net income and operating diluted earnings per share to measure the strength of the Company’s core banking business and to identify trends that may to some extent be obscured by such excluded gains or losses.
Management also supplements its evaluation of financial performance with an analysis of tangible book value per share (which is computed by dividing shareholders’ equity less goodwill and acquisition related intangible assets, or “tangible common equity,” by common shares outstanding), the tangible common equity ratio (which is computed by dividing tangible common equity by tangible assets, defined as total assets less goodwill and acquisition related intangibles), return on average assets and return on tangible common equity on an operating basis, and the operating efficiency ratio (which is computed by dividing noninterest expense adjusted for non-operating expenses and total revenue adjusted for gain/(loss) on disposition of investment securities). The Company has included information on these non-GAAP financial measures because the Company believes that investors may find it useful to have access to the same analytical tool used by management. As a result of merger and acquisition activity, the Company has recognized goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Excluding the impact of goodwill and other intangibles in measuring asset and capital values for the ratios provided, along with other bank standard capital ratios, provides a framework to compare the capital adequacy of the Company to other companies in the financial services industry.
These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results and other financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. An item which management deems to be non-operating and excludes when computing these non-GAAP measures can be of substantial importance to the Company’s results for any particular quarter or year. The Company’s non-GAAP performance measures are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be presented by other companies.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are presented under “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations.”
