Christopher J. Murphy III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are very pleased to have achieved record quarterly earnings during the second quarter. Average loans and leases grew $102.14 million, up 1.57%, and average deposits increased $172.53 million, or 2.46% compared to the previous quarter. Disciplined loan and lease pricing led to an improvement in our net interest margin of five basis points from the prior quarter. This marks the third consecutive quarter of margin expansion despite persistent deposit rate competition. We were also helped by net recoveries of $1.99 million during the quarter. Nonperforming assets to loans and leases at June 30, 2024, was 0.31%, down from 0.34% at March 31, 2024, and the allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loans and leases remained strong and unchanged from the previous quarter at 2.26%. Additionally, our liquidity and capital positions remained strong.
“During the quarter, we were excited to learn that 1st Source was named by Forbes’ as one of America’s Best Banks! We ranked #14 on the list and the only bank in Indiana to be in the top 15. This award is a proof point that we are holding true to our long-standing commitment of helping our clients achieve security, build wealth, and realize their dreams by building a fortress-like balance sheet and quality, sustainable earnings to help us better serve them!
“The proof points continued to roll in this quarter as we also were named to the Forbes’ Best in State Banks and Best Employers for New Grads lists. Finally, US News & World Report recently announced that 1st Source Bank was named a “Best Company to Work For” in the Midwest. It is an honor to receive this blend of awards because it emphasizes our stability as a bank not only financially, but also culturally.
“We strive to provide our colleagues with an engaging work environment that upholds our core values of integrity, teamwork, and superior quality paired with outstanding client service and community leadership. In keeping with our commitment to our community, we have remodeled both our Dunlap and our Bristol Street Banking Centers to feature our side-by-side banking model. This experience invites clients behind the teller line, allowing for clients and bankers to have a more transparent and inclusive relationship.”, Mr. Murphy concluded.
