Strong Loan and Deposit Growth
First-quarter loan balances increased 16% on an annualized basis, and core deposit growth was up 8.3% annualized. This reflects a robust expansion of the balance sheet and a return to an offensive-minded loan strategy.
Net Interest Margin Expansion
Net interest margin expanded by 19 basis points to 2.51%, with a core margin increase of 13 basis points to 2.37%. This was driven by a decline in deposit costs and higher loan yields.
Improved Asset Quality
The credit profile remains strong with no net charge-offs during the quarter. Non-performing assets remain low at 0.2% of assets, and overall asset quality is well below peer levels.
Revenue Growth
Total revenue increased by 23% on a year-over-year basis, driven by stronger net interest income and non-interest income from new products.
Tangible Book Value Growth
Tangible book value increased 12% annualized in the first quarter, recovering from a decline due to an acquisition in the previous quarter.
