  • Customer deposits increased by $59 million, while the loan portfolio contracted by $61 million, mainly due to a $95 million reduction in commercial real estate loans.

  • Net interest margin expanded to 3.32%, up 10 basis points sequentially and 32 basis points year-over-year.

Financial highlights

  • Net interest income rose to $88.7 million, up $2.9 million sequentially and $8.7 million year-over-year, driven by lower funding costs and higher loan yields.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
