Christopher J. Murphy III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our increase in revenue and net interest margin expansion compared to the previous quarter. Average loans grew $116.21 million, up 1.82%, while average deposits decreased slightly from the previous quarter. Although our tax-equivalent net interest margin continued to endure competitive deposit rate pressures, we improved our overall margin by three basis points compared to the prior quarter. Additionally, our liquidity and capital positions remained strong during the quarter.

“Credit was challenged in the quarter, with elevated net charge-offs, the majority of which were from two commercial business accounts unrelated to our commercial real estate portfolio. Nonperforming assets to loans and leases at March 31, 2024, was 0.34%, down from 0.37% at December 31, 2023, and the allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loans and leases remained strong at 2.26%, which was unchanged from 2023 year end.

“At 1st Source, we value integrity, teamwork, superior quality, outstanding client service, community leadership, delivering true relationship banking and operating with strong capital. We believe these values differentiate us from our competition, and we received confirmation of this belief during the quarter. In March, we were excited to learn that 1st Source was ranked 14th in the country and number 1 in Indiana in Forbes’ 15th annual America’s Best Banks list. The 200 largest publicly traded banks and thrifts were eligible for the list and the top 100 were ranked according to 10 metrics measuring growth, credit quality and profitability for the 2023 calendar year, as well as stock performance in the 12 months through March 18, 2024.

“In March, we were also happy to learn that 1st Source was ranked 22nd in S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Top 50 Community Banks with $3B to $10B in assets. This is especially powerful because S&P Global Market Intelligence places special consideration on the strength and risk profile of balance sheets in addition to their returns, growth, and funding.

“And finally, 1st Source Bank was once again rated 5 stars by BauerFinancial. Ratings are based on performance data from 2023 for U.S. Banks including leverage capital ratios, profitability/loss trends, market versus book value of the investment portfolio, along with many other factors.
