Solid loan growth of 7.4% and a 13 basis point expansion in the tax equivalent net interest margin resulted in 5% linked quarter net interest income growth.
Wealth Management and SBA Performance
Wealth management revenues increased by 5% linked quarter, and SBA fee income doubled year-to-date compared to the same period last year. MidWestOne is now in the top 10% nationally for SBA 7(a) production.
New Talent Acquisition
Significant hires in the Twin Cities and Denver, including commercial bankers and wealth management professionals, are expected to positively impact the organization.
Strong Core Net Interest Margin
Core net interest margin expanded by 13 basis points to 3.49%, largely due to higher earning asset yields and lower interest-bearing liabilities costs.
Expense Management
Noninterest expenses decreased by $0.5 million from the linked quarter, driven by receipt of $1.1 million in tax credit funds and decreased data processing expenses.
