3rd Quarter 2024 vs 2nd Quarter 2024
Net Interest Income:
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2024 totaled $18.4 million compared to $17.8 million for the prior quarter, an increase of $0.6 million, or 3.4%, driven primarily by increases of $1.1 million in interest income on loans, including fees and $0.1 million in interest income on interest-earning deposits, offset primarily by increases of $0.3 million in interest expense on deposits and $0.1 million in interest expense on borrowed funds, and a decrease of $0.2 million in interest income on taxable securities.
Interest income on loans, including fees, increased primarily due to an increase of 11 basis points in the average yield on commercial loans, compared to the prior quarter. The increase in the average yield on commercial loans was primarily attributable to higher yielding commercial real estate originations during 2024, and the recognition of $0.2 million in interest income on the payoff of a nonaccrual commercial real estate loan. Average balances of commercial loans increased $14.3 million, compared to the prior quarter. Average yields on residential mortgages and consumer loans increased 21 and 15 basis points, respectively, compared to the prior quarter, while average balances of residential mortgages and consumer loans decreased by $0.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively. The increase in interest income on interest-earning deposits was due to an increase of $5.7 million in the average balances of interest- earning deposits, compared to the prior quarter.
Interest expense on deposits increased primarily due to growth in the average balances of customer time deposits of $25.5 million and an increase of five basis points in the average interest rate paid on customer time deposits, compared to the prior quarter. Customer time deposits comprised 23.0% of average total deposits for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 21.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Average balances of brokered deposits decreased $35.3 million, compared to the prior quarter, while the average interest rate paid on brokered deposits was flat quarter over quarter. Average balances of savings and money market deposits increased $10.1 million and average interest rates paid on savings and money market deposits increased nine basis points, compared to the prior quarter. Average balances of total interest-bearing deposits increased $6.1 million and the average interest rate paid on total interest-bearing deposits increased two basis points, compared to the prior quarter. The increase in the average balances and average cost of customer time deposits was primarily due to the continuation of CD campaigns in the current quarter. The increase in the average balances and average cost of savings and money market deposits was primarily due to a shift in the composition of deposits towards higher rate money market accounts and additional seasonal municipal deposits.
The increase in interest expense on borrowed funds was due primarily to an increase in the average cost of total borrowings of four basis points, and an increase in the average balances of borrowed funds of $3.2 million in the current quarter, compared to the prior quarter. The average cost of total borrowings for the current quarter was 5.08%, compared to 5.04% in the prior quarter. Included in average balances of borrowed funds was $30.0 million in FHLB term advances that matured in September 2024. The decrease in interest income on taxable securities was primarily due to lower average balances of SBA pooled loan securities and additional amortization expense on SBA pooled loan securities, both due to paydown activity.
Fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was 2.72% in the current quarter, compared to 2.66% in the prior quarter. Expansion of net interest margin in the current quarter was primarily attributable to an increase of nine basis points in the average yield of total interest-earning assets to 4.78%, offset by an increase of three basis points in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 2.97%, compared to the prior quarter.
Provision for Credit Losses:
Provision for credit losses decreased $0.3 million in the current quarter, compared to the prior quarter. Provisioning in the current quarter was primarily attributable to unfavorable changes in economic forecasts and lower modeled prepayment speeds used in the Bank's CECL model, as well as lower growth-related provisioning in the current quarter, compared to the prior quarter. Provisioning in the prior quarter included a $0.2 million specific allocation on a commercial and industrial loan.
Non-Interest Income:
Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2024 was $5.9 million, compared to $5.6 million for the prior quarter, an increase of $0.3 million, or 5.4%. The increase was driven primarily by increases of $0.1 million in each of wealth management group fee income, service charges on deposit accounts, change in fair value of equity investments, and gains on sales of loans held for sale.
The increase in wealth management group fee income was primarily attributable to increases in fee rates effective July 1, 2024. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts was primarily attributable to an increase in overdraft transaction volume, compared to the prior quarter. The increase in the change in fair value of equity investments was primarily attributable to an increase in the market value of assets held for the Corporation's deferred compensation plan, and the increase in gains on sales of loans held for sale was primarily attributable to an increase in the volume of loans sold to the secondary market during the current period, due to an increase in total residential loan originations in the current period.
Non-Interest Expense:
Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2024 was $16.5 million, compared to $16.2 million for the prior quarter, an increase of $0.3 million, or 1.9%. The increase was driven primarily by increases of $0.3 million each in salaries and wages and data processing expenses, and $0.2 million in other non-interest expense, partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in pension and other employee benefits.
The increase in salaries and wages compared to the prior quarter was primarily attributable to additional staffing for the Corporation's newly established Western New York regional banking center, and expense related to an increase in the market value of assets held for the Corporation's deferred compensation plan. The increase in data processing expense was primarily attributable to the timing of various vendor credits and rebates, and an increase in card procurement expense. The increase in other non-interest expense was primarily attributable to an increase supplies and postage expense, and an increase in charitable contributions. The decrease in pension and other employee benefits was primarily attributable to lower healthcare related expenses in the current quarter, compared to the prior quarter.
Income Tax Expense:
Income tax expense for the third quarter of 2024 was $1.5 million, compared to $1.3 million for the prior quarter, an increase of $0.2 million. The effective tax rate for the current quarter increased to 20.9% from 20.3% in the prior quarter. The increase in income tax expense was primarily attributable to an increase in pretax income.
3rd Quarter 2024 vs 3rd Quarter 2023
Net Interest Income:
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2024 totaled $18.4 million compared to $18.0 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $0.4 million, or 2.2%, driven primarily by increases of $3.6 million in interest income on loans, including fees and $0.3 million in interest income on interest-earning deposits, partially offset by increases of $2.3 million in interest expense on deposits and $0.7 million in interest expense on borrowed funds, and a decrease of $0.5 million in interest income on taxable securities.
Interest income on loans, including fees, increased primarily due to a $134.3 million increase in the average balances of commercial loans and an increase of 36 basis points in the average yield on commercial loans, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in average balances of commercial loans consisted of year over year growth in both commercial and industrial and commercial real estate balances, while the increase in the average yield was primarily due to higher origination yields in 2024. Average balances of residential mortgage loans decreased $9.2 million compared to the same period in the prior year due to an increase in sales of new originations to the secondary market, while the average yield on residential mortgage loans increased 36 basis points compared to the same period in the prior year. Average consumer loan balances decreased $13.9 million compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to lower indirect auto loan origination activity during the third quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year period, while the average yield on consumer loans increased 60 basis points, primarily due to runoff of older vintage indirect auto loans, replaced by higher yielding new originations. Interest income on interest-earning deposits increased primarily due to a $21.2 million increase in the average balances of interest-earning deposits, compared to the same period in the prior year.
Interest expense on deposits increased primarily due to a 44 basis points increase in the average interest rate paid on total interest-bearing deposits, which included brokered deposits, and an increase of $175.6 million in the average balance of customer interest-bearing deposits. Both the increase in the average interest rate paid and the average balances of customer interest-bearing deposits were primarily attributable to CD campaigns throughout 2024, as well as a general shift in the deposit mix towards higher cost accounts. The average balances of brokered deposits decreased $123.7 million, while the average interest rate paid on brokered deposits increased nine basis points, compared to the same period in the prior year. Average balances of brokered deposits decreased primarily due to the utilization of the Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) and FHLBNY term advances in the current quarter, which were not utilized in the same period in the prior year, as well as lower growth in loan balances during the current quarter, compared to the same period in the prior year.
The increase in interest expense on borrowed funds was primarily attributable to a $54.8 million increase in the average balances of borrowed funds, partially offset by a decrease of 17 basis points in the average interest rate paid on borrowed funds. Changes in the composition of borrowed funds reflected the Corporation's shift to the lower cost BTFP, as well as FHLBNY term advances, partially replacing FHLBNY overnight advances in the current quarter, compared to the same period in the prior year. The average balances of FHLBNY overnight advances decreased $17.3 million, while the average interest rate paid on FHLBNY overnight advances decreased 47 basis points, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in interest income on taxable securities was primarily attributable to net paydowns and maturities of available for sale securities between the third quarter of 2023 and the third quarter of 2024 of $54.8 million, and an increase in amortization expense on SBA pooled loan securities, due to paydown activity.
Fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was 2.72% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 2.73% for the same period in the prior year. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 50 basis points to 2.97%, and the average balances of interest-bearing liabilities increased $106.7 million, compared to the same period in the prior year. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased 38 basis points to 4.78%, and the average balances of interest- earning assets increased $73.0 million, compared to the same period in the prior year.
Provision for Credit Losses:
Provision for credit losses increased $0.1 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to unfavorable changes in FOMC forecasts in the third quarter of 2024, compared to favorable changes to forecasts in the third quarter of 2023, as well as a decline in modeled prepayment speeds. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in net charge offs in the third quarter of 2024, compared to the third quarter of 2023.
Non-Interest Income:
Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2024 was $5.9 million compared to $7.8 million for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 24.4%. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease of $2.5 million in other non-interest income, partially offset by increases of $0.5 million in wealth management group fee income and $0.2 million in the change in fair value of equity investments. The decrease in other non-interest income was primarily attributable to the recognition of the employee retention tax credit (ERTC) in the third quarter of 2023. The increase in wealth management group fee income was primarily attributable to an increase in the market value of total assets under management or administration and fee rate increases effective in the third quarter of 2024, while the increase in the change in fair value of equity investments was primarily attributable to an increase in the value of assets held for the Corporation's deferred compensation plan.
Non-Interest Expense:
Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2024 was $16.5 million compared to $15.7 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $0.8 million, or 5.1%. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $0.6 million in salaries and wages and $0.3 million in other non-interest expense, partially offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in pension and other employee benefits.
The increase in salaries and wages was primarily attributable to an increase in salaries, including additional staffing for the Corporation's newly opened Western New York regional banking center, as well as an increase in the market value of the assets held for the Corporation's deferred compensation plan. The increase in other non-interest expense was primarily attributable to increases in supplies and postage expense, and losses recognized on the sale of repossessed vehicles in the current quarter, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in pension and other employee benefits was primarily attributable to a decrease in healthcare related expenses in the current quarter, compared to the same period in the prior year.
Income Tax Expense:
Income tax expense for the third quarter of 2024 was $1.5 million compared to $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $0.5 million. The effective tax rate for the current quarter was 20.9%, compared to 21.2% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily attributable to additional income tax expense recognized in the third quarter of 2023 due to filing amended tax returns in relation to the ERTC.
Asset Quality
Non-performing loans totaled $10.5 million as of September 30, 2024, or 0.52% of total loans, compared to $10.4 million, or 0.53% of total loans as of December 31, 2023. The slight increase in non-performing loans was primarily attributable to $3.9 million in commercial loan balances added to nonaccrual during the year, offset by $3.8 million in paydowns and payoffs of existing nonaccrual commercial loan balances during the year. Non-performing assets, which are comprised of non-performing loans, other real estate owned, and repossessed vehicles, were $11.1 million, or 0.40% of total assets as of September 30, 2024, compared to $10.7 million, or 0.40% of total assets as of December 31, 2023. Other real estate owned was $0.5 million and repossessed vehicles was $0.1 million as of September 30, 2024.
Total loan delinquencies as of September 30, 2024 increased compared to December 31, 2023, primarily attributable to increases in residential mortgage and consumer loan delinquency rates during the period. The majority of past due residential mortgage balances were past due between 30-59 days. Commercial loan delinquency rates declined as of September 30, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023. Annualized net charge-offs to total average loans for the third quarter of 2024 were 0.02%, compared to 0.06% for the second quarter of 2024, and 0.04% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 0.05% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Annualized consumer net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were 0.31% of average consumer loan balances and 0.18% of average consumer loan balances for the third quarter of 2024, primarily concentrated in indirect auto loans, while commercial loans and residential mortgage loans each had net recovery rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the third quarter of 2024.
The allowance for credit losses was $21.4 million as of September 30, 2024 and $22.5 million as of December 31, 2023. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments, a component of other liabilities, was $0.8 million as of September 30, 2024 and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses was primarily attributable to the annual review and update to the loss drivers which the Bank's CECL model is based upon. Recalibration of loss drivers resulted in a decline in the baseline loss rates which the model utilizes, and were applied beginning in the first quarter of 2024. Partially offsetting these declines were comparatively weaker FOMC projections for economic variables used in the model as of September 30, 2024 compared to as of December 31, 2023, in addition to declines in prepayment speeds between December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2024, and loan growth during 2024.
The allowance for credit losses was 203.33% of non-performing loans as of September 30, 2024 and 216.28% as of December 31, 2023. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.06% as of September 30, 2024 and 1.14% as of December 31, 2023. Provision for credit losses as a percentage of period-end loan balances was 0.03% for the third quarter of 2024.
Balance Sheet Activity
Total assets were $2.774 billion as of September 30, 2024 compared to $2.711 billion as of December 31, 2023, an increase of $63.7 million, or 2.3%. The increase was primarily attributable to increases of $56.3 million in loans, net of deferred origination fees and costs, and $43.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by decreases of $30.9 million in total investment securities and $6.9 million in accrued interest receivable and other assets.
The increase in loans, net of deferred origination fees and costs, was concentrated in the commercial loan portfolio, which increased by $76.9 million, or 5.5%, compared to prior year-end. Growth in commercial loans during the current period consisted of growth in both commercial and industrial and commercial real estate balances. Consumer loans decreased by $16.7 million, or 5.4%, primarily driven by lower indirect auto loan origination activity during the current period, and a relatively fast turnover rate in the portfolio. Residential mortgages decreased by $3.9 million, or 1.4%, as the Corporation continued to elect to sell a portion of originations into the secondary market.
The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to $50.0 million in advances from the Federal Reserve's BTFP, $41.8 million in paydowns and maturities of available for sale securities, and an increase of $21.7 million in total deposits, primarily offset by an increase of $56.3 million in loans, net of deferred origination fees and costs, and a decrease of $31.9 million in FHLB overnight advances, compared to prior year-end.
Total investment securities decreased primarily due to a decrease of $29.4 million in securities available for sale, compared to prior year-end. Net paydowns and maturities on securities available for sale for the current period totaled $41.8 million, primarily attributable to paydowns on mortgage-backed securities and SBA pooled-loan securities. The market value of securities available for sale increased by $14.7 million, due to favorable changes in interest rates during the current period. The decrease in accrued interest receivable and other assets was primarily due to decreases in interest rate swap assets of $4.2 million, due to a decrease in the market value of swaps, and $3.9 million in deferred tax assets, due to improvements in the market value of the available for sale securities portfolio.
Total liabilities were $2.554 billion as of September 30, 2024 compared to $2.515 billion as of December 31, 2023, an increase of $38.3 million, or 1.5%. The increase in total liabilities was primarily attributable to increases of $18.8 million in advances and other debt and of $21.7 million in deposits, partially offset by a decrease of $2.2 million in accrued interest payable and other liabilities.
Total deposits increased by $21.7 million or 0.9%, compared to prior year-end, primarily driven by increases of $102.8 million in customer time deposits, or 21.9%, and $58.2 million in interest bearing demand deposits, or 20.0%. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases of $103.3 million in brokered deposits, or 72.3%, and $37.0 million in non- interest bearing demand deposits, or 5.7%. Additionally, money market deposits increased by $7.2 million, or 1.1% and savings deposits decreased by $6.2 million, or 2.5%. Non-interest bearing deposits comprised 25.1% and 26.9% of total deposits as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The increase in advances and other debt was primarily attributable to a $50.0 million advance from the Federal Reserve's BTFP, and an increase of $0.7 million in finance lease obligations, offset by a decrease of $31.9 million in FHLBNY overnight advances. The decrease in accrued interest payable and other liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in interest rate swap liabilities of $4.8 million, primarily due to a decrease in the market value of swaps, partially offset by increases in interest payable on borrowed funds of $1.7 million and interest payable on deposits of $1.2 million.
Total shareholders' equity was $220.7 million as of September 30, 2024, compared to $195.2 million as of December 31, 2023, an increase of $25.4 million, or 13.0%, primarily driven by an increase of $13.3 million in retained earnings and a decrease of $10.9 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The increase in retained earnings was primarily due to net income of $17.8 million, offset by dividends declared of $4.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss was primarily attributable to the favorable impact of interest rates on available for sale securities during the current period.
The total equity to total assets ratio was 7.95% as of September 30, 2024, compared to 7.20% as of December 31, 2023, and the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio was 7.22% as of September 30, 2024, compared to 6.45% as of December 31, 2023.1 Book value per share increased to $46.22 as of September 30, 2024 from $41.07 as of December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, the Bank's capital ratios were in excess of those required to be considered well- capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

Liquidity
The Corporation uses a variety of resources to manage its liquidity, and management believes it has the necessary liquidity to allow for flexibility in meeting its various operational and strategic needs. These include short-term investments, cash flow from lending and investing activities, core-deposit growth and non-core funding sources, such as time deposits of $250,000 or greater, brokered deposits, FHLBNY advances, and Federal Reserve Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) advances. No new borrowings could be made under the BTFP after March 11, 2024. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis for liquidity purposes or on a long-term basis to fund asset growth. As of September 30, 2024, the Corporation's cash and cash equivalents balance was $80.4 million. The Corporation also maintains an investment portfolio of securities available for sale, comprised primarily of US Government treasury securities, SBA loan pools, mortgage-backed securities, and municipal bonds. Although this portfolio generates interest income for the Corporation, it also serves as an available source of liquidity and capital if the need should arise. As of September 30, 2024, the Corporation's investment in securities available for sale was $554.6 million, $256.1 million of which was not pledged as collateral. Additionally, the Bank's total advance line capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York was $224.2 million as of September 30, 2024, all of which was available as of September 30, 2024. In January 2024, the Corporation utilized the BTFP with an advance of $50.0 million, which the Corporation paid off in October 2024, without prepayment penalty.
As of September 30, 2024, uninsured deposits totaled $708.9 million, or 28.9% of total deposits, including $216.2 million of municipal deposits that were collateralized by pledged assets, when appropriate. As of December 31, 2023, uninsured deposits totaled $655.7 million, or 27.0% of total deposits, including $153.2 million of municipal deposits that were collateralized by pledged assets. Due to their fluidity, the Corporation closely monitors uninsured deposit levels when considering liquidity management strategies.
The Corporation considers brokered deposits to be an element of its deposit strategy, and anticipates it may continue utilizing brokered deposits as a secondary source of funding in support of growth. As of September 30, 2024, the Corporation had entered into brokered deposit arrangements with multiple brokers. As of September 30, 2024, brokered deposits carried terms between 2 and 48 months, totaling $39.5 million. Excluding brokered deposits, total deposits increased $125.0 million compared to December 31, 2023, due primarily to ongoing CD campaigns and seasonal inflows associated with municipal deposits.
