Net interest margin was 3.42% vs. 2.92% last year. Brandon Lorey, President and CEO, stated, “We are very pleased to report record net income of $5.3 million and earnings per share of $0.98, results that are in line with our expectations for the quarter. The full-quarter impact of post-capital raise execution, along with the strategic repositioning of the securities portfolio, contributed to a 44-basis point expansion in net interest margin and an annualized return on assets of 1.09%. Additionally, the continued transition from higher-cost borrowings to lower-cost deposits is strengthening our funding profile and positioning us for long-term balance sheet efficiency. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to the entire EFSI and Bank of Clarke team for their steadfast commitment to our shareholders, communities, and customers.”
