“Despite deposit pricing pressure challenges, higher credit costs, and six months of lost interchange revenue from the Durbin amendment, we ended 2024 with a robust pre-tax pre-provision ROA of 1.76% and an efficiency ratio of 56.07%, demonstrating the strength of our organization,” stated T. Michael Price, President and Chief Executive Officer. “With historic highs in customer satisfaction and net promoter scores, we’re not just growing profitably but also building deeper trust and stronger connections with our customers.” Price continued, “Last year laid the foundation for sustainable growth, and as we move into 2025, our focus on mid-single-digit loan growth, core deposit acquisition, and operational efficiency will propel us forward.”
Earnings
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $35.8 million, or $0.35 per share, compared to $32.1 million, or $0.31 per share in the third quarter of 2024 and $44.8 million, or $0.44 per share for the fourth quarter of 2023.
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $142.6 million, or $1.39 per share, compared to $157.1 million, or $1.54 per share for the same period in 2023.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income (FTE) of $95.4 million decreased $1.4 million from the previous quarter and decreased $0.6 million from the prior year quarter. The decrease from the previous quarter was primarily due to a two basis point decrease in the net interest margin and a $219.5 million decrease in lower-yielding interest bearing bank deposits.
The net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 3.54%, a decrease of two basis points from the previous quarter and a decrease of 11 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2023. The total cost of funds decreased nine basis points due to a $442.9 million decrease in higher-cost short-term borrowings, partially offset by a $115.7 million increase in long-term borrowings and a 12 basis point decrease in the yield on loans. The total cost of deposits decreased one basis point to 2.07% as compared to the previous quarter.
Total average deposits increased $207.1 million, or 8.7% annualized in the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to the previous quarter primarily due to a large commercial customer deposit received at the end of the previous quarter. Total end-of-period deposits decreased $67.5 million, or 2.7% annualized, from the previous quarter primarily due to seasonal withdrawals of public fund deposits.


                                                
Asset Quality
Provision for credit losses totaled $6.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to $10.6 million in the previous quarter. The decrease in provision expense during the quarter was primarily driven by higher specific reserves in the previous quarter and improved quantitative factors and loan mix.
Nonperforming loans totaled $61.5 million, a decrease of $13.3 million from the previous quarter and an increase of $22.0 million from the fourth quarter of 2023. Nonperforming loans represented 0.68% of total loans as compared to 0.83% and 0.44% for the periods ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
At December 31, 2024, criticized loans totaled $224.2 million, a decrease of $17.8 million from the previous quarter.
During the fourth quarter of 2024, net charge-offs were $13.7 million as compared to net charge-offs of $8.8 million in the previous quarter and $16.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily driven by the charge-off of three commercial credits totaling $8.0 million, for which $7.0 million in specific reserves had been previously provided.
Net charge-offs (annualized) as a percentage of average loans were 0.61%, 0.39% and 0.72% for the periods ended December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense
Noninterest income (excluding $0.2 million gain on investment securities in 3Q 2024) totaled $25.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, as compared to $24.5 million for the third quarter of 2024 and $24.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The $0.8 million increase from the previous quarter was primarily due to a $0.7 million increase in swap fee income, a $0.5 million increase in gain on sale of Mortgage loans and a $0.5 million gain on a limited partnership included in other revenue, partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease income from bank owned life insurance (BOLI).
For the year ended December 31, 2024, noninterest income (excluding $0.2 million gain sale of investment securities in 2024 and $0.1 million loss on sale of investment securities in 2023) totaled $99.0 million, an increase of $2.3 million from the prior year. The increase from the prior year was primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in gain on sale of Mortgage loans, a $1.5 million increase gain on sale of SBA loans, a $1.5 million increase in BOLI income, a $1.3 million increase in Trust income and a $1.1 million increase in service charges, offsetting a $6.8 million decrease in card-related interchange income due to the Bank being subject to six months of the Durbin amendment.
Noninterest expense (excluding $0.3 million and $0.2 million of merger related expenses in 4Q 2024 and 4Q 2023, respectively) totaled $69.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, as compared to $70.1 million for the third quarter of 2024 and $65.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The $1.0 million decrease from the previous quarter was primarily the result of a $1.3 million decrease in operational losses and a $0.6 million decrease in salaries and benefits, partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in accrued Pennsylvania shares tax obligations.
The core efficiency ratio was 56.07% during the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to 56.66% in the previous quarter and 53.00% in the fourth quarter of 2023.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, noninterest expense (excluding $0.4 million of merger related expenses and $0.4 million loss on the early redemption of subordinated debt in 2024 and $9.0 million of merger related expenses in 2023) totaled $270.0 million, as compared to $260.9 million in the prior year. The $9.1 million increase from the prior year was primarily driven by a $6.4 million increase in salaries and benefits, a $1.1 million increase in Pennsylvania shares tax obligations and a $0.6 million increase in occupancy costs, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in other professional fees and a $0.3 million decrease in FDIC insurance.
The core efficiency ratio was 55.36% for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 52.91% in the previous year.
Full time equivalent staff was 1,512 at December 31, 2024, 1,500 at September 30, 2024, and 1,475 at December 31, 2023.

(3) Includes held for sale loans.
(4) Excludes held for sale loans.
