- **NIM Outlook**: 2025 expansion to 3.45%-3.6% via fixed-rate loan repricing and CD runoff. Sandy Spring deal could push combined NIM to 3.75%-4.0%.
- **Credit Resilience**: Specific reserve aside, net charge-offs at 3 bps (annualized). Long-term confidence in asset quality amid normalization of losses.
- **Strategic Positioning**: Unique density in Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina positions AUB for sustainable growth in stable, high-income markets.


**【CEO Summary Section】**
- **Acquisition Update**: Sandy Spring Bancorp merger approvals received from the Federal Reserve; awaiting state regulatory approvals, with expected closing on April 1, 2025. Integration planning is underway, with cultural compatibility and strategic alignment confirmed.
- **Market Outlook**: Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina unemployment rates (3.0%, 3.1%, 3.7%) below national average (4.1%), supporting mid-single-digit loan growth in 2025. Elevated CRE payoffs reflect market liquidity, while C&amp;I loan production increased 29% Q/Q, driven by existing clients.
- **NIM Compression**: 5 bps Q/Q decline due to lower variable-rate loan yields and reduced overnight borrowings. Anticipated Fed rate cuts (2x 25 bps) in 2025 may benefit asset-sensitive balance sheet.
- **Credit Quality**: Specific reserve of $13.1M on a C&amp;I loan caused Q4 provision increase; net charge-offs at 3 bps (annualized), with 5 bps for the year. Long-term confidence in asset quality despite normalization of losses.

**【CFO Financial Commentary】**

**【Q&A Key Themes】**
- **DOGE Policy Impact**: Incoming administration's focus on federal workforce return and defense spending may benefit government contractors and regional economy. Sandy Spring's Maryland franchise positions AUB in one of the country's most affluent markets.
