“Our third quarter results were positively impacted by an 11.6% increase in net interest income, combined with increased SBA gains versus last quarter and last year’s third quarter,” President and CEO David Lamb noted. He further added “We have continued to see growing income from our interest rate protection products and serves an important part of our focus on increasing the value of our relationships with our business clients. Our strong deposit growth across all customer segments is a testament to our Personal Banking and Business Banking teams working together so well. Noninterest expense was higher due to increased IT and other infrastructure costs, but during the year, we have restructured several business units to lower salaries and operating costs. This has started to be reflected in our year-to-date salaries and employee benefits. The interest rate environment continues to be challenging but believe our balance sheet management the past several years positions us as well as possible.”
