- The allowance for credit losses on loans was $47.5 million, or 1.30% of loans, versus $48.6 million, or 1.34%, at year-end. Q1 net charge-offs were $2.3 million; nonperforming loans were $20.2 million, or 0.55% of loans.
- Cash flow from operations was negative $9.0 million, investing activities provided $48.1 million, and financing activities used $5.8 million. Cash and cash equivalents increased $33.4 million during the quarter. The 2023 cash-flow comparison includes merger-related and funding activity.

Material changes versus prior periods
- Compared with Q1 2023, net income more than doubled, while net interest income edged down. Lower credit-loss provision and lower expenses were key contributors; Q1 2023 included $4.7 million of merger-related expense and a provision that included establishing credit-loss allowances in connection with the Quantum merger.
- Compared with Q4 2023, Q1 2024 net income rose 11.9% to $15.1 million, mainly reflecting a $2.2 million lower provision and $563,000 higher noninterest income, partly offset by $693,000 lower net interest income. Net interest margin remained 4.02%.
- Quarter-end deposits increased $138.4 million from December 31, 2023, while borrowings declined $142.3 million. Loans held for sale increased $21.7 million, principally from HELOCs. Total held-for-investment loans rose modestly by $8.1 million.
- Nonperforming assets increased $865,000 from year-end, while classified assets decreased $4.6 million. Equipment-finance transportation loans, particularly smaller over-the-road truck loans, remained a notable source of nonperforming assets; the Company stopped new originations in that transportation sector during the quarter.
Outlook, risks and unusual items
- The filing provides no numerical earnings or revenue guidance. Management cautions that interim results are not necessarily indicative of full-year results.
- Management identifies interest-rate and funding costs, deposit retention, liquidity, credit quality and commercial real estate conditions, economic weakness, loan demand, securities markets, regulatory actions, technology and cybersecurity, and merger integration as risks that could affect results. It reports no material change in previously disclosed risk factors and no material change in market-risk disclosures.
- Liquidity sources included $170.0 million of additional FHLB borrowing capacity, $80.6 million of unused FRB capacity and $149.5 million of unused lines at three unaffiliated banks. Brokered deposits were $392.2 million, or 10.3% of deposits. Certificates of deposit totaling $886.7 million were scheduled to mature within one year.
- Off-balance-sheet commitments included $79.2 million of loan commitments, $170.1 million of undisbursed construction loans, $690.5 million of unused lines of credit and $50.9 million of standby letters of credit. Management said loan commitments generally carry normal lending risk; amounts may not be fully drawn.
- Q1 noninterest income included $1.8 million of BOLI income, including $1.1 million of tax-free death-benefit proceeds. The Company collected $41.3 million related to BOLI redemptions during the quarter. Available-for-sale securities had $3.7 million of gross unrealized losses; management reported no expected credit loss and no intent or likely requirement to sell them.
- The filing reports no pending litigation expected by management to have a material adverse effect, no material control changes, and effective disclosure controls. It corrected an immaterial prior-period loan-disclosure error; the correction had no effect on income or equity.
Important facts for investors to verify
- Confirm the filing period: the supplied document is Q1 2024, not Q1 2023.
- Track deposit pricing, brokered-deposit reliance and upcoming certificate maturities against available liquidity and borrowing capacity.
- Monitor commercial real estate and equipment-finance credit trends, especially transportation exposure, charge-offs, nonperforming loans and allowance coverage.
- Assess whether net interest income can hold up as deposit costs rise and borrowings are repriced, and whether Q1 earnings benefited from items that may not recur.
- Review the scale of unused commitments and the potential effect of funding draws on liquidity and capital.
