Earnings
Net income for the first quarter of 2025 was $32.7 million, or $0.32 per share, compared to $35.8 million, or $0.35 per share in the fourth quarter of 2024 and $37.5 million, or $0.37 per share for the first quarter of 2024.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income (FTE) of $95.9 million increased $0.4 million from the previous quarter and increased $3.2 million from the prior year quarter. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to a $34.8 million increase in average loans combined with expansion of the net interest margin (NIM).
The NIM for the first quarter of 2025 was 3.62% as compared to 3.54% in the prior quarter and 3.52% in the year ago quarter. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to a 10 basis point decrease in the cost of funds that was only partially offset by a 5 basis point decrease in the yield on loans.
Total average deposits grew $58.8 million in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the previous quarter. Average interest-bearing demand and savings deposits grew $66.1 million and total time deposits increased $33.2 million from the prior quarter. The increase in interest bearing deposits was partially offset by a $40.5 million decrease in average noninterest-bearing deposits.
End of period deposits increased $183.6 million, or 7.7% annualized from the previous quarter, including a $214.8 million increase in savings deposits and a $24.2 million increase in noninterest bearing deposits, which together offset a $27.9 million decrease in time deposits and a $27.5 million decrease in interest-bearing demand deposits.
Asset Quality
Provision for credit losses totaled $5.7 million in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to $6.5 million in the previous quarter. The decrease from the previous quarter was primarily driven by a $10.6 million decrease in net charge-offs. Net charge-offs in the previous quarter included $8.0 million of loans specifically provided for in prior quarters.
The allowance for credit losses (ACL) as a percentage of end-of-period loans was 1.32% in the first quarter which was unchanged from the previous quarter.
At March 31, 2025, nonperforming loans totaled $59.4 million as compared to $61.5 million in the prior quarter and $42.4 million in the first quarter of 2024.
Nonperforming loans represented 0.65% of total loans as of March 31, 2025 as compared to 0.68% and 0.47% for the periods ended December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
At March 31, 2025, criticized loans totaled $190.5 million, a decrease of $33.7 million from the previous quarter.
During the first quarter of 2025, net charge-offs were $3.1 million, compared to $13.7 million in the prior quarter and $4.3 million in the first quarter of 2024. Net charge-offs in the previous quarter were primarily driven by acquired loans, of which $8.0 million were specifically reserved for in prior periods.
Net charge-offs were 0.14%, 0.61% and 0.19% of average loans (annualized) for the periods ended March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense
Noninterest income totaled $22.5 million for the first quarter of 2025, as compared to $25.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 and $24.0 million for the first quarter of 2024. There were no material securities gains during the current or comparable quarters.
The $2.8 million decrease from the previous quarter was primarily driven by a $1.4 million gain on a limited partnership and donation of a branch facility in the previous quarter, a $1.0 million decrease in gain on sale of SBA loans and seasonally lower fees due to the number of days in the quarter.
Noninterest expense (excluding merger-related) totaled $71.1 million for the first quarter of 2025, as compared to $69.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 and $65.5 million for the first quarter of 2024. The $2.1 million increase from the previous quarter was primarily the result of a $2.4 million increase in salaries and benefits and a $1.0 million increase in occupancy expense due to a $0.7 million increase in snow removal expense. Contributing to the higher salary expense in 2025 was a $1.8 million increase in incentive expense, of which $1.5 million was attributed to finalizing payments related to prior year volumes and performance.
The core efficiency ratio was 59.08% during the first quarter of 2025 as compared to 56.07% in the previous quarter and 55.05% in the first quarter of 2024.
Full time equivalent staff was 1,538, 1,512 and 1,465 at March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

The cash dividend is payable on May 23, 2025 to shareholders of record as of May 9, 2025. This dividend represents a 3.5% projected annual yield utilizing the April 28, 2025 closing market price of $15.31.
