Loan and Deposit Growth:
- The loan and lease portfolio grew at an annualized rate of 6.8% during the quarter, with residential loans increasing by $42 million.
- The growth was attributed to solid loan demand across the footprint and strategic pricing of loans, particularly in commercial and residential sectors.

Core Margin Expansion:
- The net interest margin expanded by 13 basis points to 3.64%, driven by a higher earning asset yield and holding funding costs steady.

Capital Raise and Acquisition:

- The capital raise and acquisition will support organic growth, technological investments, and expand the franchise, while improving the TCE ratio.
