The Company believes these measurements provide a better comparison for analysis and may provide a better indicator of future performance. See GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations.

“We delivered our strongest results of the year in the fourth quarter, generating record full year results. Our exceptional performance was highlighted by significant growth in net interest income, driven by margin expansion, and robust loan growth,” said Larry J. Helling, Chief Executive Officer. “Additionally, we produced another strong year of capital markets and wealth management revenue while controlling our core operating expenses and maintaining excellent asset quality. We also successfully executed on our fourth low-income housing tax credit securitization during the fourth quarter.”

“We begin 2025 with a solid pipeline of loans and deposits, strong credit quality, and well-managed expenses. Our focus remains on growing our franchise through relationship-driven banking and executing on our unique business model which delivers exceptional operational performance for our shareholders,” said Mr. Helling.

Record Net Interest Income and Continued NIM Expansion

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 totaled $61.2 million, an increase of $1.5 million from the third quarter of 2024. Acquisition-related net accretion totaled $471 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $463 thousand in the third quarter of 2024. Net interest income was $55.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, net interest margin (“NIM”) was 2.95% and NIM on a tax-equivalent yield (“TEY”) basis (non-GAAP) was 3.43%, up from 2.90% and 3.37% in the prior quarter, respectively. Adjusted NIM TEY (non-GAAP) of 3.40% was also up from 3.34% in the third quarter of 2024.

“Our adjusted NIM on a tax equivalent yield basis improved by 6 basis points to 3.40% in the fourth quarter near the top end of our guidance range,” said Todd A. Gipple, President and Chief Financial Officer. “We were successful in significantly reducing our cost of interest-bearing deposits in the fourth quarter by 33 basis points, contributing to a significant decrease in our funding costs. Our ability to aggressively react to the recent Fed interest rate cuts has contributed meaningfully to our NIM expansion.” Looking forward, the Company expects to continue growing its NIM in the first quarter of 2025. “We project our adjusted NIM on a tax equivalent yield basis for the first quarter of 2025 to be in the range from static to an increase of 5 basis points,” said Mr. Gipple.

Significant Capital Markets and Wealth Management Revenue

Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 totaled $30.6 million, up from $27.2 million for the third quarter of 2024. The Company generated strong capital markets revenue of $20.6 million up from $16.3 million in the prior quarter. Capital markets revenue in the fourth quarter included a $1.4 million gain from the Company’s fourth low-income housing tax credit (“LIHTC”) securitization, compared to a $473 thousand loss in the third quarter of 2024. Wealth management revenues also increased during the fourth quarter with $4.8 million in revenue, up from $4.5 million in the prior quarter, or 25% annualized.

“Our capital markets business delivered strong results, fueled by swap fees generated through our LIHTC lending program. The strong demand for affordable housing continues to support the sustainability of our LIHTC lending initiatives," said Mr. Gipple. "Our LIHTC lending pipeline and related capital markets revenue remains solid. As a result, we expect our capital markets revenue from swap fees for the next twelve months to be in a range of $50 to $60 million. Furthermore, our wealth management business continues to expand, driven by new client acquisitions and growth in assets under management.”

Noninterest Expenses Impacted by Higher Incentive Compensation but Efficiency Ratio Improves

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2024 totaled $53.5 million which was consistent with the prior quarter, and lower than $60.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The fourth quarter included higher incentive-based compensation related to strong fourth quarter and record full year performance as well as investments in the digital transformation of the Company’s core systems.

“Our core expenses, while impacted by higher incentive compensation and system conversion expenses during the fourth quarter, remained well-controlled for the full year, decreasing $5.1 million, or 2% from the prior year,” said Mr. Gipple. The Company’s efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) improved to 58.26% and the adjusted efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) improved to 56.25% in the fourth quarter of 2024. For the first quarter of 2025 we expect noninterest expense to be in the range of $52 to $55 million, an increase of 4% which aligns with the Company’s 9/6/5 strategic model.

Continued Strong Loan Growth

During the fourth quarter of 2024, loans and leases held for investment grew $120.5 million, or 7% annualized from the prior quarter to a total of $6.8 billion. For the full year, prior to loan securitizations of $387 million, the Company’s total loans and leases grew $628 million, or 10% from the prior year.

“Our solid performance reflects the strength of our unique, relationship-driven community banking model and the economic resilience within our markets”, added Mr. Helling. “With our current pipeline and the continued strength of our markets, we anticipate gross loan growth between 8% and 10% for the full year 2025. When factoring in the loan securitization that we have planned for 2025 and the continuing runoff of m2 Equipment Finance loans, we are targeting net loan growth between 1% and 3% for the year.”

Asset Quality Remains Excellent

Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) totaled $45.6 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of $9.9 million from $35.7 million at the end of the third quarter of 2024. The increase in NPAs was primarily due to three loans in discrete industries. These changes are reflective of the credit environment normalizing from historically low levels.

The ratio of NPAs to total assets was 0.50% on December 31, 2024, compared to 0.39% on September 30, 2024. In addition, the Company’s criticized loans and classified loans to total loans and leases on December 31, 2024, were 2.34% and 1.25% compared to 2.20% and 1.03%, respectively, as of September 30, 2024. At December 31, 2024, approximately 43% of the Company’s total NPAs are comprised of just four relationships. The Company’s largest NPA of $9.7 million was fully paid off in mid-January of 2025. This successful outcome reduced total NPAs down to $35.9 million, or 0.40% of total assets on a proforma basis, consistent with December 31, 2023.

The Company recorded a total provision for credit losses of $5.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2024, representing a $1.7 million increase from the prior quarter driven by strong loan growth and an increase in criticized loan balances. As of December 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses to total loans/leases held for investment was 1.32%, an increase of 2 basis points from the prior quarter.

Strong Core Deposit Growth and Increased Liquidity

During the fourth quarter of 2024, core deposits, which exclude brokered deposits, increased $75.6 million or 5% annualized. For the full year total core deposits grew $474 million or 8% from the prior year, outpacing net loan growth and increasing immediate liquidity.

Total uninsured and uncollateralized deposits remain quite low at $1.3 billion, or 19% of total deposits as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 21% as of the end of the third quarter of 2024. Total available liquidity as of quarter end was approximately $4 billion, which included $1.7 billion in instantly accessible liquidity.

Capital Levels Increased

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s total risk-based capital ratio was 14.10%, its common equity tier 1 ratio was 10.03% and its tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio (“TCE”) (non-GAAP) was 9.55%. By comparison, these ratios were 13.87%, 9.79% and 9.24%, respectively, as of September 30, 2024. We remain focused on growing capital and targeting TCE in the top quartile of the Company’s peer group.

The Company’s tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) increased by $1.21, or 10% annualized during the fourth quarter, of 2024. For the full year the tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) increased by $6.40, or 15% from the prior year. The combination of strong earnings and a modest dividend contributed to the improvement in tangible book value per share (non-GAAP). Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) decreased $9.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2024 due to a decrease in the value of the Company’s available for sale securities portfolio and certain derivatives resulting from the change in long-term interest rates during the quarter.

(1)	Adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share, adjusted return on average assets and average equity are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company's management believes that these measurements are important to investors as they exclude non-core or non-recurring income and expense items, therefore, they provide a more realistic run-rate for future periods. In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, these non-GAAP measures are reconciled to net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
(2)	Non-core or non-recurring items (post-tax) are calculated using an estimated effective federal tax rate of 21% with the exception of goodwill impairment which is not deductible for tax.
(3)	Interest earned and yields on nontaxable securities and loans are determined on a tax equivalent basis using a 21% effective federal tax rate.
(4)	Net interest margin (TEY) is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company's management utilizes this measurement to take into account the tax benefit associated with certain loans and securities. It is also standard industry practice to measure net interest margin using tax-equivalent measures. In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, this non-GAAP measure is reconciled to net interest income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. In addition, the Company calculates net interest margin without the impact of acquisition accounting net accretion as this can fluctuate and it's difficult to provide a more realistic run-rate for future periods.
(5)	Efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure. The Company's management utilizes this ratio to compare to industry peers. The ratio is used to calculate overhead as a percentage of revenue. In compliance with the applicable rules of the SEC, this non-GAAP measure is reconciled to noninterest expense, net interest income and noninterest income, which are the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
