Material Changes vs. Prior Period

- Net Interest Income: Rose to $31.75 million from $28.90 million in the prior year quarter. The Net Interest Margin expanded 27 basis points to 3.91%, primarily due to increased interest-earning assets and a higher average loan yield (6.43% vs 6.18%).
- Asset Quality: Nonperforming assets increased significantly by $5.86 million (37.6%) to $21.47 million. This increase was primarily attributed to two loan relationships moving to nonaccrual status. Nonaccrual loans totaled $18.97 million.
- Provisioning: The provision for loan losses increased to $394,000 from $141,000 in Q1 2024, largely due to loan growth.
