Note 1 — Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
The accounting and reporting practices of First Business Financial Services, Inc. (“FBFS” or the “Corporation”), through our wholly-owned subsidiary, First Business Bank (“FBB” or the “Bank”), have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). FBB operates as a commercial banking institution primarily in Wisconsin and the greater Kansas City metropolitan area. The Bank provides a full range of financial services to businesses, business owners, executives, professionals, and high net worth individuals. FBB also offers bank consulting services to community financial institutions. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions and service providers and is also subject to state and federal regulations. As of September 30, 2024, FBB had the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: First Business Specialty Finance, LLC (“FBSF”), First Madison Investment Corp. (“FMIC”), ABKC Real Estate, LLC (“ABKC”), FBB Real Estate 2, LLC (“FBB RE 2”), Mitchell Street Apartments Investment, LLC (“Mitchell Street”), and FBB Tax Credit Investment, LLC (“FBB Tax Credit”).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 820): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This update is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2024. The Corporation is
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This update enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by providing better information regarding exposure to potential changes in jurisdictional tax legislation and related forecasting and cash flow opportunities. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Corporation is assessing the impact of the standard.
Note 2 — Earnings per Common Share
Earnings per common share are computed using the two-class method. Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income allocated to common shares by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the applicable period, excluding outstanding participating securities. Participating securities include unvested restricted shares. Unvested restricted shares are considered participating securities because holders of these securities receive non-forfeitable dividends, or dividend equivalents, at the same rate as holders of the Corporation’s common stock. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income allocated to common shares adjusted for reallocation of undistributed earnings of unvested restricted shares by the weighted average number of shares determined for the basic earnings per common share computation plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method.

Note 3 — Share-Based Compensation
The Corporation initially adopted the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) during the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Corporation and provides for the grant of equity ownership opportunities through incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent units, and any other type of award permitted by the Plan. As of September 30, 2024,
Restricted Stock
Under the Plan, the Corporation may grant restricted stock awards (“RSA”), restricted stock units (“RSU”), and other stock-based awards to plan participants, subject to forfeiture upon the occurrence of certain events until the dates specified in the participant’s
8
award agreement. While restricted stock is subject to forfeiture, RSA participants may exercise full voting rights and will receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the restricted shares. RSUs do not have voting rights. RSUs granted prior to 2023 are provided dividend equivalents concurrent with dividends paid to shareholders while RSUs granted in 2023 and after will accrue dividend equivalents payable upon vesting. The restricted stock granted under the Plan is typically subject to a vesting period. Compensation expense for restricted stock is recognized over the requisite service period of generally or
The Corporation may also issue performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSU”). Vesting of the PRSU will be measured on the relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) and relative Return on Average Equity (“ROAE”) for issuances prior to 2023 or Return on Average Common Equity (“ROACE”) for issuances after 2022, and will cliff-vest after a

The tables below show the Corporation’s gross unrealized losses and fair value of available-for-sale investments aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual investments were in a continuous loss position at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The Corporation has not specifically identified available-for-sale securities in a loss position that it intends to sell in the near term and does not believe that it will be required to sell any such securities. The Corporation reviews its securities on a quarterly basis to assess declines in fair value for credit losses. Consideration is given to such factors as the credit rating of the borrower, market conditions such as current interest rates, any adverse conditions specific to the security, and delinquency status on contractual payments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, management concluded that in all instances securities with fair value less than carrying value was due to market factors; thus, no credit loss provision was required.
A summary of unrealized loss information for securities available-for-sale, categorized by security type and length of time for which the security has been in a continuous unrealized loss position, follows:

Each credit is evaluated for proper risk rating upon origination, at the time of each subsequent renewal, upon receipt and evaluation of updated financial information from the Corporation’s borrowers, or as other circumstances dictate. The Corporation primarily uses a nine grade risk rating system to monitor the ongoing credit quality of its loans and leases. The risk rating grades follow a consistent definition and are then applied to specific loan types based on the nature of the loan. Each risk rating is determined based on various quantitative and qualitative factors and is subject to various levels of review and concurrence on the stated risk rating. In addition to its nine grade risk rating system, the Corporation groups loans into four loan and related risk categories which determine the level and nature of review by management.
Category I — Loans and leases in this category are performing in accordance with the terms of the contract and generally exhibit no immediate concerns regarding the security and viability of the underlying collateral, financial stability of the borrower, integrity or strength of the borrowers’ management team, or the industry in which the borrower operates. The Corporation monitors Category I loans and leases through payment performance, continued maintenance of its personal relationships with such borrowers, and continued review of such borrowers’ compliance with the terms of their respective agreements.
Category II — Loans and leases in this category are beginning to show signs of deterioration in one or more of the Corporation’s core underwriting criteria such as financial stability, management strength, industry trends, or collateral values. Management will place credits in this category to allow for proactive monitoring and resolution with the borrower to possibly mitigate the area of concern and prevent further deterioration or risk of loss to the Corporation. Category II loans are considered performing but are monitored frequently by the assigned business development officer and by asset quality review committees.
Category III — Loans and leases in this category are identified by management as warranting special attention. However, the balance in this category is not intended to represent the amount of adversely classified assets held by the Bank. Category III loans and leases generally exhibit undesirable characteristics, such as evidence of adverse financial trends and conditions, managerial problems, deteriorating economic conditions within the related industry, or evidence of adverse public filings and may exhibit collateral shortfall positions. Management continues to believe that it will collect all contractual principal and interest in accordance with the original terms of the contracts relating to the loans and leases in this category, and therefore Category III loans are considered performing with no specific reserves established for this category. Category III loans are monitored by management and asset quality review committees on a monthly basis.
Category IV — Loans and leases in this category are non-accrual loans. Management has determined that it is unlikely that the Bank will receive the contractual principal and interest in accordance with the original terms of the agreement. Non-accrual loans are individually evaluated to assess the need for the establishment of specific reserves or charge-offs. When analyzing the adequacy of collateral, the Corporation obtains external appraisals at least annually. External appraisals are obtained from the Corporation’s approved appraiser listing and are independently reviewed to monitor the quality of such appraisals. To the extent a collateral shortfall position is present, a specific reserve or charge-off will be recorded. Loans and leases in this category are monitored by management and asset quality review committees on a monthly basis.
The delinquency aging of the loan and lease portfolio by class of receivable was as follows:

Occasionally, the Corporation modifies loans to borrowers in financial distress by providing principal forgiveness, term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay or interest rate reduction. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged-off against the allowance for credit losses.
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of loans at September 30, 2024 that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, by class and by type of modification. The percentage of the amortized cost basis of loans that were modified to borrowers in financial distress as compared to the amortized costs basis of each class of financing receivable is also presented below.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The ACL is an estimate of the expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, which is measured using relevant information about past events, including historical credit loss experience on financial assets with similar risk characteristics, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows over the contractual term of the financial assets. A provision for credit losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of these and other pertinent factors as discussed within Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the Corporation’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Quantitative Considerations
21
The ACL is primarily calculated utilizing a Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) model. Key inputs and assumptions used in this model are discussed below:
Qualitative Considerations
In addition to the quantitative model, management considers the need for qualitative adjustment for risks not considered in the DCF. Factors that are considered by management in determining loan collectability and the appropriate level of the ACL are listed below:

ACL Activity
A summary of the activity in the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment is as follows:

Note 6 — Leases
The Corporation leases various office spaces and specialized lending production offices under non-cancellable operating leases which expire on various dates through 2033. The Corporation also leases office equipment. The Corporation recognizes a right-of-use asset and an operating lease liability for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases. Right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease expense for operating leases and short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The components of total lease expense were as follows:

Note 11 — Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, various legal proceedings involving the Corporation are pending. Management, based upon advice from legal counsel, does not anticipate any significant losses as a result of these actions. Management believes that any liability arising from any such proceedings currently existing or threatened will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
The Corporation sells the guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) and 504 loans, as well as participation interests in other, non-SBA originated, loans to third parties. The Corporation has a continuing involvement in each of the transferred lending arrangements by way of relationship management and servicing the loans, as well as being subject to normal and customary requirements of the SBA loan program and standard representations and warranties related to sold amounts. In the event of a loss resulting from default and a determination by the SBA that there is a deficiency in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded, or serviced by the Corporation, the SBA may require the Corporation to repurchase the loan, deny its liability under the guaranty, reduce the amount of the guaranty, or, if it has already paid under the guaranty, seek recovery of the principal loss related to the deficiency from the Corporation. The Corporation must comply with applicable SBA regulations in order to maintain the guaranty. In addition, the Corporation retains the option to repurchase the sold guaranteed portion of an SBA loan if the loan defaults.
Management has assessed estimated losses inherent in the outstanding guaranteed portions of SBA loans sold in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, and determined a recourse reserve based on the probability of future losses for these loans to be $
The summary of the activity in the SBA recourse reserve is as follows:

Note 12 — Fair Value Disclosures
The Corporation determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established in ASC Topic 820, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received in an orderly transaction that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale at the measurement date and is based on exit prices. Fair value includes assumptions about risk, such as nonperformance risk in liability fair values, and is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.
Level 1 — Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Corporation has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included with Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Level 3 inputs are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Corporation’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, segregated by fair value hierarchy level, are summarized below:

Collateral-dependent loans were written down to the fair value of their underlying collateral less costs to sell of $
Repossessed assets are measured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for credit losses, if deemed necessary. The fair value of a repossessed asset, upon initial recognition, is estimated using a market approach or based on observable market data, such as a current appraisal, recent sale price of similar assets, or based upon assumptions specific to the individual property or equipment, such as management applied discounts used to further reduce values to a net realizable value when observable inputs become stale.
29
Loan servicing rights represent the asset retained upon sale of the guaranteed portion of certain SBA loans. When SBA loans are sold, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in gains on sales of loans. The servicing rights are subsequently measured using the amortization method, which requires amortization into interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans.
The Corporation periodically reviews this portfolio for impairment and engages a third-party valuation firm to assess the fair value of the overall servicing rights portfolio. Loan servicing rights do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. While sales of loan servicing rights do occur, the precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available to allow for a “quoted price for similar assets” comparison. Accordingly, the Corporation utilizes an independent valuation from a third party which uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of its loan servicing rights. The valuation model incorporates prepayment assumptions to project loan servicing rights cash flows based on the current interest rate scenario, which is then discounted to estimate an expected fair value of the loan servicing rights. The valuation model considers portfolio characteristics of the underlying serviced portion of the SBA loans and uses the following significant unobservable inputs: (1) constant prepayment rate (“CPR”) assumptions based on the SBA sold pools historical CPR as quoted in Bloomberg and (2) a discount rate. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, loan servicing rights are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Corporation is required to disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions, consistent with exit price concepts for fair value measurements, are set forth below:

N/A = The fair value is not applicable due to restrictions placed on transferability
Disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate that value, is required whether or not recognized in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are excluded from the disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not necessarily represent the underlying value of the Corporation.
Securities: The fair value measurements of investment securities are determined by a third-party pricing service which considers observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the securities’ terms and conditions, among other things. The fair value measurements are subject to independent verification by another pricing source on a quarterly basis to review for reasonableness. Any significant differences in pricing are reviewed with appropriate members of management who have the relevant technical expertise to assess the results. The Corporation has determined that these valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. When the independent pricing service does not provide a fair value measurement for a particular security, the Corporation will estimate the fair value based on specific information about each security. Fair values derived in this manner are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Loans Held for Sale: Loans held for sale, which consist of the guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans, are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics.
Derivatives: The carrying amount and fair value of existing derivative financial instruments are based upon independent valuation models, which use widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative contract. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The Corporation incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Corporation considers the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
Limitations: Fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the
31
Corporation’s entire holding of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Corporation’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and are not considered in the estimates.
Note 13 — Derivative Financial Instruments
The Corporation offers interest rate swap products directly to qualified commercial borrowers. The Corporation economically hedges client derivative transactions by entering into offsetting interest rate swap contracts executed with a third party. Derivative transactions executed as part of this program are not considered hedging instruments and are marked-to-market through earnings each period. The derivative contracts have mirror-image terms, which results in the positions’ changes in fair value offsetting through earnings each period. The credit risk and risk of non-performance embedded in the fair value calculations is different between the dealer counterparties and the commercial borrowers which may result in a difference in the changes in the fair value of the mirror-image swaps. The Corporation incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own non-performance risk and the counterparty’s risk in the fair value measurements. When evaluating the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effects of non-performance and credit risk, the Corporation considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements such as collateral postings, thresholds, and guarantees. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the credit valuation allowance was $
The Corporation receives fixed rates and pays floating rates based upon designated benchmark interest rates used on the swaps with commercial borrowers. Commercial borrower swaps are completed independently with each borrower and are not subject to master netting arrangements. The Corporation pays fixed rates and receives floating rates based upon designated benchmark interest rates used on the swaps with dealer counterparties. Dealer counterparty swaps are subject to master netting agreements among the contracts within our Bank and are reported on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. The gross amount of dealer counterparty swaps, without regard to the enforceable master netting agreement, was a gross derivative asset of $
All changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded in other non-interest income. Given the mirror-image terms of the outstanding derivative portfolio, the change in fair value for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 had an insignificant impact on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Corporation also enters into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk and reduce the cost of match-funding certain long-term fixed rate loans. These derivative contracts involve the receipt of floating rate interest from a counterparty in exchange for the Corporation making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement, without the exchange of the underlying notional value. The instruments are designated as cash flow hedges as the receipt of floating rate interest from the counterparty is used to manage interest rate risk related to cash outflows attributable to future wholesale deposit or short-term FHLB advance borrowings. The change in the fair value of these hedging instruments is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transactions affect earnings. A pre-tax unrealized loss of $
The Corporation also enters into interest rate swaps to mitigate market value volatility on certain long-term fixed securities. The objective of the hedge is to protect the Corporation against changes in fair value due to changes in benchmark interest rates. The instruments are designated as fair value hedges as the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are expected to offset changes in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to changes in the SOFR swap rate, the designated benchmark interest rate. These derivative contracts involve the receipt of floating rate interest from a counterparty in exchange for the Corporation making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement, without the exchange of the underlying notional value.

Note 14 — Regulatory Capital
The Corporation and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by Federal and Wisconsin banking agencies.
33
Corporation’s and the Bank’s Board and management teams adhere to the appropriate regulatory guidelines on decisions which affect their respective capital positions, including but not limited to, decisions relating to the payment of dividends and increasing indebtedness.
As a bank holding company, the Corporation’s ability to pay dividends is affected by the policies and enforcement powers of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve system (the “Federal Reserve”). Federal Reserve guidance urges financial institutions to strongly consider eliminating, deferring, or significantly reducing dividends if: (i) net income available to common shareholders for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid during that period, is not sufficient to fully fund the dividend; (ii) the prospective rate of earnings retention is not consistent with the bank holding company’s capital needs and overall current and prospective financial condition; or (iii) the bank holding company will not meet, or is in danger of not meeting, its minimum regulatory capital ratios. Management intends, when appropriate under regulatory guidelines, to consult with the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) of Chicago and provide it with information on the Corporation’s then-current and prospective earnings and capital position in advance of declaring any cash dividends. As a Wisconsin corporation, the Corporation is subject to the limitations of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law, which prohibit the Corporation from paying dividends if such payment would: (i) render the Corporation unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or (ii) result in the Corporation’s assets being less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount needed to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of any shareholders with preferential rights superior to those shareholders receiving the dividend.
The Bank is also subject to certain legal, regulatory, and other restrictions on their ability to pay dividends to the Corporation. As a bank holding company, the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Corporation is one of the sources of funds the Corporation could use to pay dividends, if any, in the future and to make other payments. Future dividend decisions by the Bank and the Corporation will continue to be subject to compliance with various legal, regulatory, and other restrictions as defined from time to time.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total Common Equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets. These risk-based capital requirements presently address credit risk related to both recorded and off-balance sheet commitments and obligations.
As of September 30, 2024, the Corporation’s capital levels exceeded the regulatory minimums and the Bank’s capital levels remained characterized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework.

Forward-looking statements are not based on historical information, but rather are related to future operations, strategies, financial results, or other developments. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations as well as certain assumptions and estimates made by, and information available to, management at the time the statements are made. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including among other things:
These risks could cause actual results to differ materially from what we have anticipated or projected. These risk factors and uncertainties should be carefully considered by our shareholders and potential investors. See Part I, Item 1A — Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and in this report, below, for discussion relating to risk factors impacting us.

These factors could affect our financial performance and could cause actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods.
Where any such forward-looking statement includes a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying such forward-looking statement, we caution that, while our management believes such assumptions or bases are reasonable and are made in good faith, assumed facts or bases can vary from actual results, and the differences between assumed facts or bases and actual results can be material, depending on the circumstances. Where, in any forward-looking statement, an expectation or belief is expressed as to future

Results of Operations
Top Line Revenue
Top line revenue, comprised of net interest income and non-interest income, increased $1.0 million, or 2.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, due to a 8.4% increase in net interest income, partially offset by a 16.2% decrease in non-interest income. The increase in net interest income primarily reflects an increase in average gross loans and leases and an increase in fees in lieu of interest, partially offset by net interest margin compression. The decrease in non-interest income was due to decreases in returns on investments in Small Business Investment Company ("SBIC") mezzanine funds, commercial loan swap fee income, and gains on the sale of SBA loans.
Top line revenue increased $5.0 million, or 4.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, due to a 9.6% increase in net interest income partially offset by a 12.3% decrease in non-interest income. The increase in net interest income was driven by an increase in average loans and leases outstanding. The decrease in non-interest income was due to decreases in returns on investments in SBIC mezzanine funds, commercial loan swap fee income, and gains on the sale of SBA loans; partially offset by increases in Private wealth fee income.
The components of top line revenue were as follows:

Annualized Return on Average Assets (“ROAA”) and Annualized Return on Average Common Equity (“ROACE”)
ROAA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 1.13% and 1.08%, respectively, compared to 1.19% and 1.13% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in ROAA for the three and the nine months ended was due to the decrease in non-interest income, partially offset by an increase in net interest income and decrease in the effective tax rate. We consider ROAA a critical metric to measure the profitability of our organization and how efficiently our assets are deployed. ROAA also allows us to better benchmark our profitability to our peers without the need to consider different degrees of leverage which can ultimately influence return on equity measures.
ROACE for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 13.8% and 13.4% respectively, compared to 14.6% and 13.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The reasons for the change in ROACE are consistent with the net income variance explanation as discussed under ROAA above. We view ROACE as an important measurement for monitoring profitability and continue to focus on improving our return to our shareholders by enhancing the overall profitability of our client relationships, controlling our expenses, and minimizing our costs of credit.
Efficiency Ratio and Pre-Tax, Pre-Provision Adjusted Earnings
Efficiency ratio measured 59.4% and 62.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 62.0% and 61.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. For the three month period comparison, the percentage increase in top line revenue exceeded the percentage increase in operating expenses, resulting in positive quarterly operating leverage. Revenue increased for the reasons stated above in the Top Line Revenue section, while operating expenses remained relatively consistent in the periods of comparison. For the nine month period comparison, the efficiency ratio was relatively consistent as revenue and expenses grew commensurately. Efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure representing operating expense, which is non-interest expense excluding the effects of the SBA recourse benefit or provision, net gains or losses on repossessed assets, amortization of other intangible assets, and other discrete items, if any, divided by operating revenue, which is equal to net interest income plus non-interest income less realized net gains or losses on securities, if any.
39
PTPP adjusted earnings for three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $15.4 million and $42.7 million, respectively, compared to $14.1 million and $40.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. PTPP adjusted earnings is defined as operating revenue less operating expense. The increase in PTPP adjusted earnings for both periods was primarily driven by an increase in net interest income partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income. In the judgment of the Corporation’s management, the adjustments made to non-interest expense and non-interest income allow investors and analysts to better assess the Corporation’s operating expenses in relation to its core operating revenue by removing the volatility associated with certain one-time items and other discrete items. PTPP adjusted earnings allows management to benchmark performance of our model to our peers without the influence of the provision for credit losses and tax considerations, which will ultimately influence other traditional financial measurements, including ROAA and ROACE. The information provided below reconciles the efficiency ratio to its most comparable GAAP measure.
Please refer to the Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense sections below for discussion on additional drivers of the year-over-year change in the efficiency ratio and PTPP adjusted earnings.

The Corporation's atypically high net interest margin in 2023 creates a temporary, positive operating leverage headwind as net interest margin returns to normalized levels in 2024. We believe the Corporation will generate positive operating leverage on an annual basis and progress towards enhancing the long-term efficiency ratio at a measured pace as we focus on strategic initiatives directed toward revenue growth, process improvement, and automation.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income levels depend on the amount of and yield on interest-earning assets as compared to the amount of and rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is sensitive to changes in market rates of interest and the asset/liability management processes to prepare for and respond to such changes.
40
The following table provides information with respect to (1) the change in net interest income attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume) and (2) the change in net interest income attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The change in net interest income attributable to changes in rate and volume (changes in rate multiplied by changes in volume) has been allocated to the rate and volume changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

The increase in net interest income reflected an increase in average gross loans and leases and an increase in fees in lieu of interest, partially offset by net interest margin compression. Fees in lieu of interest, which vary from quarter to quarter, totaled $942,000 and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $582,000 and $2.2 million for the same periods in 2023. Excluding fees in lieu of interest, net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased $2.1 million, or 7.32%, and $7.2 million, or 8.92%, respectively. Average gross loans and leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased
43
$320.0 million, or 11.8%, and $368.1 million, or 14.2%, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
The yield on average loans and leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 7.32% and 7.25%, respectively, compared to 7.06% and 6.79% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Excluding the impact of loan fees in lieu of interest, the yield on average loans and leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 7.20% and 7.11%, respectively, compared to 6.97% and 6.67% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The yield on average interest-earning assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 measured 6.97% and 6.89%, respectively, compared to 6.71% and 6.43% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Excluding loan fees in lieu of interest, the yield on average interest-earning assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 6.86% and 6.77%, respectively, compared to 6.63% and 6.33% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in yields was primarily due to the reinvestment of cash flows from fixed-rate loan portfolios and securities in a higher rate environment. Compared to the prior year quarter, the quarter's daily average effective federal funds rate for the remained flat at 5.26%. The daily average effective federal funds rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased 39 basis points.
The rate paid on average interest-bearing core deposits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased to 4.10% and 4.07%, respectively, from 3.74% and 3.27% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased to 4.05% and 3.97%, respectively, from 3.64% and 3.30% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Total interest-bearing liabilities may include interest-bearing deposits, federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, subordinated and junior subordinated notes and debentures payable, and other borrowings. The average rates paid increased due to the increase in short-term market rates, the replacement of maturing wholesale funds at higher fixed rates, and client movement from non-interest bearing to interest bearing core deposit products. The daily average effective federal funds rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 remained flat.
Net interest margin decreased to 3.64% and 3.62%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 3.76% and 3.81% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The primary driver of the reduction in net interest margin was increased funding costs, partially offset by an increase in earning asset yields. Adjusted net interest margin measured 3.51% and 3.47% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 3.66% and 3.68% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Adjusted net interest margin is a non-GAAP measure representing net interest income excluding the impact of fees in lieu of interest, and other recurring, but volatile, components of net interest margin divided by average interest-earning assets less other recurring, but volatile, components of average interest-earning assets.
Management believes its success in growing core deposits, disciplined loan pricing, and increased production in existing higher-yielding commercial lending products will allow the Corporation to achieve a net interest margin that supports our long-term profitability goals. The collection of loan fees in lieu of interest is an expected source of volatility to quarterly net interest income and net interest margin. In addition, net interest margin may also experience volatility due to events such as the collection of interest on loans previously in non-accrual status or the accumulation of significant short-term deposit inflows. The Corporation maintains a long-term target for net interest margin in the range of 3.60% - 3.65%. Performance in future quarters will vary due to factors such as the level of fees in lieu of interest and the timing, pace, and scale of future interest rate changes.
Provision for Credit Losses
We determine our provision for credit losses pursuant to our allowance for credit loss methodology. It is based on a reasonable and supportable forecast as well as considerations for composition, risk, and performance indicators in our credit portfolio. Refer to Allowance for Credit Losses, below, for further information regarding our allowance for credit loss methodology.
The Corporation recognized $2.1 million and $6.1 million of provision expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to expense of $1.8 million and $5.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The provision expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of $2.1 million consisted of $1.5 million of net charge-offs, $616,000 due to loan growth, and a $757,000 net increase in specific reserves, partially offset by decreases of $444,000 and $330,000 due to quantitative and qualitative factor changes, respectively.

The addition of specific reserves on individually evaluated loans represents new specific reserves established when collateral shortfalls or government guaranty deficiencies are present, while the release of specific reserves represents the reduction of previously established reserves that are no longer required. Qualitative factor changes reflect management’s evaluation of the level of risk within the portfolio based upon several factors for each portfolio segment. Quantitative factor changes reflect the change in the reasonable and supportable forecast as well as other model assumptions. Charge-offs in excess of previously established specific reserves require an additional provision for credit losses to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level deemed appropriate by management. This amount is net of the release of any specific reserve that may have already been provided. Refer to Asset Quality, below, for further information regarding the overall credit quality of our loan and lease portfolio.
Comparison of Non-Interest Income for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income decreased $1.4 million, or 16.2%, to $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $8.4 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in total non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to decreases in returns on investments of SBIC mezzanine funds and commercial loan swap fee income, offset by an increase in Private wealth fee income. Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $3.0 million, or 12.3%, to $21.2 million compared to $24.2 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in total non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was driven by decreases in returns on investments in SBIC mezzanine funds, commercial loan swap fee income, and gains on the sale of SBA loans, partially offset by an increase in Private Wealth fee income and service charges on deposits.
Management continues to focus on revenue growth from multiple non-interest income sources to maintain a diversified revenue stream. Contribution from fee-based revenue sources can be variable and driven by changes in the interest rate environment, client activity, and the value of underlying investments. Total non-interest income accounted for 18.6% and 18.9% of total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to 22.8% and 22.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Private wealth fee income increased $319,000, or 10.8%, and $1.3 million, or 15.8%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023. Private wealth fee income is up compared to prior year primarily due to an increase in assets under management and administration, increases in fee rates across the client base, and non-recurring transaction fees in the 2024 period. Private wealth fee income can vary due to the mix of business at different fee structures and can be positively or negatively influenced by the timing and magnitude of volatility within the capital markets. As of September 30, 2024, Private wealth and trust assets under management and administration totaled $3.398 billion, increasing $483.3 million, or 16.6%, compared to $2.915 billion as of September 30, 2023, due to an increase in market values, new clients, and new money from existing clients.
Service charges on deposits increased $85,000, or 10.2%, and $527,000, or 23.1%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023. The increase is primarily driven by new and expanded core deposit relationships. Treasury management business development efforts remain robust as gross treasury management service charges increased $145,000, or 9.9%, and $473,000, or 11.0%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023. Management believes growth in gross analyzed service charges is a strong indicator of success for the Corporation given the direct correlation to adding and expanding core business relationships.
Commercial loan interest rate swap fee income decreased $532,000, or 53.6%, and $1.7 million, or 67.7%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023. We originate commercial real estate loans in which we offer clients a floating rate and an interest rate swap. The client’s swap is then offset with a counter-party dealer. The execution of these transactions generates swap fee income. The aggregate amortizing notional value of interest rate swaps with various borrowers was $975.8 million as of September 30, 2024, compared to $939.2 million and $908.6 million as of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, respectively. Interest rate swaps can be an attractive product for our commercial borrowers, although associated fee income varies from period to period based on loan activity and the interest rate environment.
Gain on sale of SBA loans decreased $391,000, or 45.9%, and $767,000, or 43.3%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023. Management expects the SBA loan sales to increase as production increases and previously closed commitments fully fund and become eligible for sale, due to additions to the business development team.
Other non-interest income decreased $913,000, or 55.5%, and $2.5 million, or 45.0%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023. The decreases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily due to the lower returns on the Corporation's investments in SBIC mezzanine funds. Income from
46
SBIC mezzanine funds varies from period to period based on changes in the realized and unrealized fair value of underlying investments.
Comparison of Non-Interest Expense for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $82,000, or 0.4% and increased $3.3 million, or 5.0%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023. Operating expense, which excludes certain one-time and discrete items as defined in the Efficiency Ratio table above, decreased $313,000, or 1.4%, and increased $3.2 million, or 4.8%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023. For the three month period, the decrease in operating expense was primarily due to decreases in compensation, other non-interest expense, and professional fees; partially offset by increases in computer software expense, marketing expense, and FDIC insurance. For the nine month period, the increase in operating expense was primarily due to an increase in compensation expense, computer software expense, and FDIC insurance.

For the three month period, the decrease in compensation expense was primarily due to a cash bonus accrual adjustment decrease and an increase in capitalized software development compensation. For the nine month period, the increase in compensation expense was primarily due to an increase in average FTEs, annual merit increases, and promotions. These increases were partially offset by decreases in incentive compensation and share-based compensation. Successful hiring efforts to secure talent resulted in average full-time equivalent employees for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increasing to 355, up 1.7%, compared to 349 for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Computer software expense increased $319,000, or 24.7%, and $913,000, or 24.9%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023.

Other non-interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $282,000, or 17.8%, and $17,000, or 0.5%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in liquidation expenses.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense totaled $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $7.4 million for the same period in 2023. Income tax expense included a $1.1 million net benefit from tax credit investments in both periods. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 16.8% compared to 21.4% for the same period in 2023. The decrease in effective tax rate is primarily due to a change in Wisconsin state tax legislation which reduced the Corporation's state taxable income. The Corporation expects to report an effective tax rate between 16% and 18% for 2024.
Generally, the provision for income taxes is determined by applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to income before taxes and adjusting for discrete items. The rate is based on the most recent annualized forecast of pre-tax income, book versus tax differences and tax credits, if any. If we conclude that a reliable estimated annual effective tax rate cannot be determined, the actual effective tax rate for the year-to-date period may be used. We re-evaluate the income tax rates each quarter. Therefore, the current projected effective tax rate for the entire year may change.

Financial Condition
General
Total assets increased by $207.9 million, or 7.9%, to $3.716 billion as of September 30, 2024 compared to $3.508 billion at December 31, 2023. The increase in total assets was primarily driven by an increase in loans and leases receivable and available-for-sale securities, partially offset by a reduction in short-term investments. Total liabilities increased by $185.5 million, or 7.7%, to $3.404 billion at September 30, 2024 compared to $3.218 billion at December 31, 2023. The increase in total liabilities was principally due to an increase in deposits. Total stockholders’ equity increased by $22.4 million, or 10.3%, to $312.0 million at September 30, 2024 compared to $289.6 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in total stockholders’ equity was due to retention of earnings and unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities, partially offset by dividends paid to common and preferred stockholders and unrealized losses on interest rate swaps.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include short-term investments and cash and due from banks. Cash and due from banks increased $13.0 million to $45.3 million at September 30, 2024 from $32.3 million at December 31, 2023. Short-term investments decreased by $20.5 million to $86.7 million at September 30, 2024 from $107.2 million at December 31, 2023. Our short-term investments primarily consist of interest-bearing deposits held at the FRB. We value the safety and soundness provided by the FRB, and therefore, we incorporate short-term investments in our readily accessible liquidity program. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, interest-bearing deposits held at the FRB were $85.7 million and $106.8 million, respectively.
Securities
Total securities, including available-for-sale and held-to-maturity, increased by $14.7 million, or 6.4%, to $320.2 million, or 8.6% of total assets at September 30, 2024 compared to $305.5 million or 8.7% of total assets at December 31, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Corporation recognized unrealized gains of $5.6 million before income taxes through other comprehensive income, compared to unrealized losses of $6.4 million for the same period in 2023. The unrealized gains in the current period were driven by the decrease in market interest rates. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our overall securities portfolio, including available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities, had an estimated weighted-average expected maturity of 5.1 years and 5.6 years, respectively. Our investment philosophy remains as stated in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We use a third-party pricing service as our primary source of market prices for our securities portfolio. On a quarterly basis, we validate the reasonableness of prices received from this source through independent verification, data integrity validation primarily through comparison of current price to an expectation-based analysis of movement in prices based upon the changes in the related yield curves, and other market factors. We did not recognize any credit losses in the securities portfolio as of September 30, 2024.
Loans and Leases Receivable
Period-end loans and leases receivable, net of allowance for credit losses, increased by $197.4 million, or 9.3% annualized, to $3.016 billion at September 30, 2024 from $2.819 billion at December 31, 2023 primarily driven by commercial loan growth. Management expects to manage loan growth towards our long term target of 10%.
Total commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans increased $129.5 million, or 10.2% annualized, to $1.829 billion. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the construction and multifamily loan portfolios.
CRE loans represented 60.0% and 59.6% of our total loans as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, 14.2% of the CRE loans were owner-occupied CRE, compared to 15.1% as of December 31, 2023. We consider owner-occupied CRE more characteristic of the Corporation’s C&I portfolio as, in general, the client’s primary source of repayment is the cash flow from the operating entity occupying the commercial real estate property.
Commercial and Industrial ("C&I") loans increased $68.5 million, or 8.3% annualized, to $1.174 billion. The increase was due to growth in traditional commercial lending, Equipment Finance, and Floorplan Financing loan portfolios.
49
We continue to actively pursue C&I loans across the Corporation as this segment of our loan and lease portfolio provides an attractive yield commensurate with an appropriate level of credit risk and creates opportunities for core deposit, treasury management, and private wealth management relationships which generate additional fee revenue.
Underwriting of new credit is primarily through approval from a serial sign-off or committee process and is a key component of our operating philosophy. Business development officers have no individual lending authority. To monitor the ongoing credit quality of our loans and leases, each credit is evaluated for proper risk rating using a nine grade risk rating system at the time of origination, subsequent renewal, evaluation of updated financial information from our borrowers, or as other circumstances dictate.
While we continue to experience competition from banks operating in our primary geographic areas, we remain committed to our underwriting standards and will not deviate from those standards for the sole purpose of growing our loan and lease portfolio. We continue to expect our new loan and lease activity to be adequate to replace normal amortization, allowing us to continue growing in future years. The types of loans and leases we originate and the various risks associated with these originations remain consistent with information previously outlined in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The following table presents information concerning the composition of the Bank’s consolidated loans and leases receivable.

As of September 30, 2024, total period-end deposits increased by $173.2 million to $2.970 billion from $2.797 billion at December 31, 2023, primarily due to increases of $129.5 million, $105.9 million, and $34.9 million in wholesale deposits, money market accounts, and interest-bearing transaction accounts, respectively. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $79.8 million and $17.4 million in certificates of deposits and non-interest-bearing transaction accounts, respectively.
As of September 30, 2024, total period-end core deposits increased $43.7 million, or 2.5% annualized, to $2.383 billion, compared to $2.339 billion at December 31, 2023. The increase in period-end balances is due to increases of $105.9 million and $34.9 million in money market accounts and interest bearing transaction accounts, respectively, offset by decreases of $79.8 million and $17.4 million in certificates of deposit and non-interest-bearing transaction accounts, respectively. Management believes the Bank’s deposit-centric sales strategy, led by treasury management sales, will continue to contribute to a net increase in deposits; however, period-end deposit balances associated with core relationships will fluctuate based upon maturity of time deposits, client demands for the use of their cash, and our ability to maintain existing and acquire new client relationships. Therefore, we believe average balances are a better indicator of our deposit growth.
Our strategic efforts remain focused on adding core deposit relationships. We measure the success of core deposit gathering efforts based on the number and average balances of our deposit accounts as compared to ending balances due to the variability of some of our larger relationships. The Bank’s average core deposits, consisting of all transaction accounts, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit, increased $317.8 million, or 15.5%, to $2.366 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $2.048 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
FHLB Advances and Other Borrowings
As of September 30, 2024, FHLB advances and other borrowings increased by $18.2 million, or 7.3%, to $349.1 million from $330.9 million at December 31, 2023. As average deposit balances have increased, we have been able to reduce our usage of FHLB advances as a percentage of total funding. In addition, we have strategically reduced our usage of FHLB advances in favor of wholesale deposits to increase the Bank’s readily accessible liquidity. We will continue to utilize FHLB advances and wholesale deposits to manage interest rate risk, liquidity, and contingency funding.
As of September 30, 2024, the Corporation has no other borrowings. As of December 31, 2023, the Corporation had other borrowings of $20,000, which consisted of a sold tax credit investments accounted for as secured borrowings because they did not qualify for true sale accounting.
As of August 15, 2024, the $15.0 million subordinated notes payable that bore a fixed interest rate of 5.5% were redeemed. The Corporation issued new subordinated notes payable on September 13, 2024. The aggregate principal amount of the newly issued subordinated notes payable was $20.0 million. The subordinated notes payable bear a fixed interest rate of 7.5% with a maturity date of September 13, 2034.
51
Consistent with our funding philosophy to manage interest rate risk, we will use the most efficient and cost effective source of wholesale funds. We will utilize FHLB advances to the extent we maintain an adequate level of excess borrowing capacity for liquidity and contingency funding purposes and pricing remains favorable in comparison to the wholesale deposit alternative. We will use FHLB advances and/or brokered certificates of deposit in specific maturity periods needed, typically three to five years, to match-fund fixed rate loans and effectively mitigate the interest rate risk measured through our asset/liability management process and to support asset growth initiatives while taking into consideration our operating goals and desired level of usage of wholesale funds. Please refer to the section entitled Liquidity and Capital Resources, below, for further information regarding our use and monitoring of wholesale funds.
Preferred Stock
The Corporation has 12,500 shares, or $12.5 million in aggregate liquidation preference, of 7.0% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, par value $0.01 per share, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The Corporation expects to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock when and if declared by its Board, at a fixed rate of 7.0% per annum, payable quarterly, in arrears, on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year up to, but excluding, March 15, 2027. For each dividend period from and including March 15, 2027, dividends will be paid at a floating rate of Three-Month Term SOFR plus a spread of 539 basis points per annum. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Corporation paid $218,000 and $656,000, respectively, in cash dividends with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is perpetual and has no stated maturity. The Corporation may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at its option at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share, plus any declared and unpaid dividends (without regard to any undeclared dividends), subject to regulatory approval, on or after March 15, 2027 or within 90 days following a regulatory capital treatment event, in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock.
Derivatives
The Board approved Bank policies allow the Bank to participate in hedging strategies or to use financial futures, options, forward commitments, or interest rate swaps. The Bank utilizes, from time to time, derivative instruments in the course of its asset/liability management. The Corporation’s derivative financial instruments, under which the Corporation is required to either receive cash from or pay cash to counterparties depending on changes in interest rates applied to notional amounts, are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets.
As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate amortizing notional value of interest rate swaps with various commercial borrowers was approximately $975.8 million, compared to $939.2 million as of December 31, 2023. We receive fixed rates and pay floating rates based upon designated benchmark interest rates on the swaps with commercial borrowers. These swaps mature between June 2025 and July 2041. Commercial borrower swaps are completed independently with each borrower and are not subject to master netting arrangements. As of September 30, 2024, the commercial borrower swaps were reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as a derivative asset of $11.4 million and liability of $39.8 million compared to a derivative asset of $7.9 million and liability of $51.1 million as of December 31, 2023. On the offsetting swap contracts with dealer counterparties, we pay fixed rates and receive floating rates based upon designated benchmark interest rates. These interest rate swaps also have maturity dates between June 2025 and July 2041. Dealer counterparty swaps are subject to master netting agreements among the contracts within our Bank and were reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as a net derivative asset of $28.4 million as of September 30, 2024, compared to a net derivative asset of $43.2 million as of December 31, 2023. The gross amount of dealer counterparty swaps as of September 30, 2024, without regard to the enforceable master netting agreement, was a gross derivative liability of $11.4 million and gross derivative asset of $39.8 million, compared to a gross derivative liability of $7.9 million and gross derivative asset of $51.1 million as of December 31, 2023.
The Corporation also enters into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk and reduce the cost of match-funding certain long-term fixed rate loans. These derivative contracts involve the receipt of floating rate interest from a counterparty in exchange for the Corporation making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement, without the exchange of the underlying notional value. The instruments are designated as cash flow hedges as the receipt of floating rate interest from the counterparty is used to manage interest rate risk associated with forecasted interest payments on short-term FHLB advances or wholesale deposits. The change in the fair value of these hedging instruments is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transactions affect earnings. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate notional value of interest
52
rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges was $499.7 million. These interest rate swaps mature between October 2024 and February 2041. A pre-tax unrealized loss of $11.6 million and $6.5 million was recognized in other comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and there was no ineffective portion of these hedges.
The Corporation also enters into interest rate swaps to mitigate market value volatility on certain long-term fixed securities. The objective of the hedge is to protect the Corporation against changes in fair value due to changes in benchmark interest rates. The instruments are designated as fair value hedges as the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are expected to offset changes in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to changes in the SOFR swap rate, the designated benchmark interest rate. These derivative contracts involve the receipt of floating rate interest from a counterparty in exchange for the Corporation making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement, without the exchange of the underlying notional value. The change in the fair value of these hedging instruments is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transactions affect earnings. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate notional value of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges was $12.5 million. These interest rate swaps mature between February 2031 and October 2034. A pre-tax unrealized loss of $246,000 and $24,000 was recognized in other comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and there was no ineffective portion of these hedges.

The change in non-accrual loans was driven by charge-offs in the Equipment Finance pool and a paydown in the Asset-Based Lending ("ABL") pool both within the C&I portfolio segment, partially offset by newly defaulted loans in Equipment Finance and SBA lending pools. While we continue to expect full repayment of the one ABL loan that defaulted during the second quarter of 2023, the liquidation process has transitioned into Chapter 7 bankruptcy, likely delaying final resolution until late 2024 or 2025. Through our collections efforts, the current balance of this loan is $6.2 million, down from $10.9 million in the prior year quarter. Excluding this credit, non-performing assets totaled $13.2 million, or 0.36% of total assets in the current quarter and $12.6 million, or 0.35% of total assets in the prior quarter.

We use a wide variety of available metrics to assess the overall asset quality of the portfolio and no one metric is used independently to make a final conclusion as to the asset quality of the portfolio. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets was 0.52% and 0.59% at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the payment performance of our loans and leases did not point to any new areas of concern, as approximately 99.4% and 99.2%, respectively, of the total portfolio at the end of each period was in a current payment status.
We reviewed loans and leases with exposure to certain industries:
We also monitor asset quality through our established categories as defined in Note 5 – Loans, Lease Receivables, and Allowance for Credit Losses of the Consolidated Financial Statements. As we continue to actively monitor the credit quality of our loan and lease portfolios, we may identify additional loans and leases for which the borrowers or lessees are having difficulties making the required principal and interest payments based upon factors including, but not limited to, the inability to sell the underlying collateral, inadequate cash flow from the operations of the underlying businesses, liquidation events, or bankruptcy filings. We proactively work with our loan borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to find meaningful solutions to difficult situations that are in the best interests of the Bank.
As of September 30, 2024, as well as in all previous reporting periods, there were no loans over 90 days past due and still accruing interest. Loans and leases greater than 90 days past due are placed on non-accrual status and individually evaluated for reserve requirement. Cash received while a loan or a lease is on non-accrual status is generally applied solely against the outstanding principal. If collectability of the contractual principal and interest is not in doubt, payments received may be applied to both interest due on a cash basis and principal.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses, including unfunded commitment reserves, increased $2.5 million, or 10.2% annualized, to $35.5 million as of September 30, 2024 from $33.0 million as of December 31, 2023. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross loans and leases was 1.16% as of September 30, 2024 compared to 1.16% as of December 31, 2023.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded net charge-offs of $3.6 million, comprised of $4.1 million of charge-offs and $509,000 of recoveries. We will continue to experience some level of periodic charge-offs in the future as exit strategies are considered and executed. Loans and leases with previously established specific reserves, may ultimately result in a charge-off under a variety of scenarios.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our ratio of allowance for credit losses to total non-accrual loans and leases was 183.38% and 160.21%, respectively. This ratio increased because of paydowns on non-accrual loans and an increase in general reserves primarily due to loan growth. Non-accrual loans and leases exhibit weaknesses that inhibit repayment in compliance with the original terms of the note or lease; however, the evaluation of non-accrual loans and leases may not always result in a specific reserve included in the allowance for credit losses. As part of the underwriting process, as well as our ongoing monitoring efforts, we try to ensure that we have sufficient collateral to protect our interest in the related loan or lease. As a result of this practice, a significant portion of our outstanding balance of non-accrual loans or leases may not require additional specific reserves or require only a minimal amount of required specific reserve. Management is proactive in recording charge-offs to bring loans to their net realizable value in situations where it is determined with certainty that we will not recover the entire amount of our principal. This practice may lead to a lower allowance for credit loss to non-accrual loans and leases ratio as compared to our peers or industry expectations. As asset quality strengthens, our allowance for credit losses is measured more through collective characteristics of our portfolio rather than through specific identification and we would therefore expect this ratio to rise. Conversely, if we identify further non-accrual loans, this ratio could fall if the non-accrual loans are adequately collateralized and therefore require no specific or general reserve. Given our business practices and evaluation of our existing loan and lease portfolio, we believe this coverage ratio is appropriate for the probable losses inherent in our loan and lease portfolio as of September 30, 2024.
To determine the level and composition of the allowance for credit losses, we break out the portfolio by segments with similar risk characteristics. First, we evaluate loans and leases for non-accrual classification. We analyze each loan and lease identified as non-accrual on an individual basis to determine a specific reserve based upon the estimated value of the underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans, or alternatively, the present value of expected cash flows. For efficiency, smaller dollar value loans within the Equipment Finance pool are reserved based on a past-due criteria. Accruing loans may be evaluated individually. All loans not evaluated individually are evaluated collectively as part of a portfolio segment or portfolio segment and class. These collective evaluations utilized a reasonable and supportable forecast which includes projections of credit losses based on one of two established methods: discounted cash flow or weighted average remaining maturity. Each model includes a set of assumptions which are evaluated not less than annually by management. The methodology also focuses on evaluation of several qualitative factors for each portfolio segment or portfolio segment and class, including but not limited to: product growth rates, management’s ongoing review and grading of the loan and lease portfolios, consideration of delinquency experience, changes in the size of the loan and lease
55
portfolios, level of loans and leases subject to more frequent review by management, changes in underlying collateral, concentrations in specific industries, and other qualitative factors that could affect credit losses.
When it is determined that we will not receive our entire contractual principal or the loss is confirmed, we record a charge against the allowance for credit loss reserve to bring the loan or lease to its net realizable value. It is typically part of our process to obtain appraisals on individually evaluated loans and leases that are primarily secured by real estate. As we complete new appraisals and/or market evaluations, in specific situations current fair values collateralizing certain collateral-dependent loans are inadequate to support the entire amount of the outstanding debt.
As a result of our review process, we have concluded an appropriate allowance for credit losses for the funded loan and lease portfolio was $33.7 million, or 1.1% of gross loans and leases, at September 30, 2024. Given ongoing complexities with current workout situations and the uncertainty surrounding future economic conditions, further charge-offs, and increased provisions for credit losses may be recorded if additional facts and circumstances lead us to a different conclusion. Various federal and state regulatory agencies review the allowance for credit losses. These agencies could require certain loan and lease balances to be classified differently or charged off when their credit evaluations differ from those of management, based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Corporation expects to meet its liquidity needs through existing cash on hand, established cash flow sources, its third-party senior line of credit, and dividends received from the Bank. While the Bank is subject to certain generally applicable regulatory limitations regarding its ability to pay dividends to the Corporation, we do not believe that the Corporation will be adversely affected by these dividend limitations. The Corporation’s principal liquidity requirements at September 30, 2024 were the interest payments due on subordinated notes and debentures and cash dividends payable to both common and preferred stockholders. The capital ratios of the Bank met all applicable regulatory capital adequacy requirements in effect on September 30, 2024, and continue to meet the heightened requirements imposed by Basel III, including the capital conservation buffer. The Corporation’s Board and management teams adhere to the appropriate regulatory guidelines on decisions which affect their capital positions, including but not limited to, decisions relating to the payment of dividends and increasing indebtedness.
The Bank maintains liquidity by obtaining funds from several sources. The Bank’s primary sources of funds are principal and interest payments on loans receivable and mortgage-related securities, deposits, and other borrowings, such as federal funds, and FHLB advances. The scheduled payments of loans and mortgage-related securities are generally a predictable source of funds. Deposit flows and loan prepayments, however, are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic and industry conditions, and competition.

We view readily accessible liquidity as a critical element to meet our cash and collateral obligations. We define our readily accessible liquidity as the total of our short-term investments, our unencumbered securities available-for-sale, and our unencumbered pledged loans. Our readily accessible liquidity increased quarter over quarter. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Bank had $85.7 million and $106.8 million on deposit with the FRB recorded in short-term investments, respectively. Any excess funds not used for loan funding or satisfying other cash obligations were maintained as part of our readily accessible liquidity in our interest-bearing accounts with the FRB, as we value the safety and soundness provided by the FRB. We plan to utilize excess liquidity to fund loan and lease portfolio growth, pay down maturing debt, allow run off of maturing wholesale certificates of deposit or invest in securities to maintain adequate liquidity at an improved margin.
We had $881.7 million of outstanding wholesale funds at September 30, 2024, compared to $739.2 million of wholesale funds as of December 31, 2023, which represented 27.0% and 24.0%, respectively, of ending balance total bank funding. Wholesale funds include FHLB advances and brokered certificates of deposit. Total bank funding is defined as total deposits plus FHLB advances. We are committed to raising core deposits while utilizing wholesale funds to mitigate interest rate risk. Wholesale funds continue to be an efficient and cost effective source of funding for the Bank and allows it to gather funds across a larger geographic base at price levels and maturities that are more attractive than local time deposits when required to raise a similar level of core deposits within a short time period. Access to such deposits and borrowings allows us the flexibility to refrain from pursuing single service deposit relationships in markets that have experienced unfavorable pricing levels. The administrative costs associated with wholesale funds are considerably lower than those that would be incurred to administer a similar level of local deposits with a similar maturity structure. Wholesale funds are also stable as each issuance has a structured maturity date and may only be redeemed in
57
certain limited circumstances. During the time frames necessary to accumulate wholesale funds in an orderly manner, we will use short-term FHLB advances to meet our temporary funding needs. The short-term FHLB advances will typically have terms of one week to one month to cover the overall expected funding demands.
Period-end core deposits increased $43.7 million as of September 30, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increases of $105.9 million and $34.9 million in money market accounts and interest bearing transaction accounts, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a $79.8 million and $17.4 million decrease in certificates of deposit and non-interest-bearing transaction accounts, respectively. We will continue to use wholesale funds in specific maturity periods, typically three to five years, needed to effectively mitigate the interest rate risk measured through our asset/liability management process or in shorter time periods if core deposit balances decline. In order to provide for ongoing liquidity and funding, none of our wholesale certificates of deposit allow for withdrawal at the option of the depositor before the stated maturity date and FHLB advances have contractual maturity terms. The Bank limits the percentage of wholesale funds to total bank funds in accordance with liquidity policies approved by its Board. The Bank was in compliance with its policy limits as of September 30, 2024.
The Bank was able to access the wholesale funding market as needed at rates and terms comparable to market standards during the quarter ended September 30, 2024. In the event that there is a disruption in the availability of wholesale funds at maturity, the Bank has managed the maturity structure, in compliance with our approved liquidity policy, so at least one year of maturities could be funded through readily accessible liquidity. These potential funding sources include deposits maintained at the FRB or Federal Reserve Discount Window utilizing currently unencumbered securities and acceptable loans as collateral. As of September 30, 2024, the accessible liquidity was in excess of the stated policy minimum. We believe the Bank will also have access to the unused federal funds lines, cash flows from borrower repayments, and cash flows from security maturities. The Bank also has the ability to raise local market deposits by offering attractive rates to generate the level required to fulfill its liquidity needs.
The Corporation has a shelf registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission that would allow the Corporation to offer and sell, from time to time and in one or more offerings, up to $75.0 million in aggregate initial offering price of common and preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, subscription rights, units, or depository shares, or any combination thereof. The Corporation has in recent years, and may from time to time in the future, raise capital through the sale of debt or equity securities in private placements exempt from registration under federal securities laws.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, operating activities resulted in a net cash inflow of $35.5 million, which included net income of $29.8 million. Net cash used by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $226.4 million primarily due to net loan disbursements, investments made in securities available for sale, and additional investments in federal home loan bank stock. Net cash provided by financing activities was $183.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to a net increase in deposits. Please refer to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in PART I., Item 1 for further details regarding significant sources of cash flow for the Corporation.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2024, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. We continue to believe that we have adequate capital and liquidity accessible from various sources to fund projected contractual obligations and commitments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our primary market risk is interest rate risk, which arises from exposure of our financial position to changes in interest rates. It is our strategy to reduce the impact of interest rate risk on net interest margin by maintaining a largely match-funded position between the maturities and repricing dates of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. This strategy is monitored by the Bank’s Asset/Liability Management Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Bank’s Board. The committee meets regularly to review the sensitivity of the Bank’s assets and liabilities to changes in interest rates, liquidity needs and sources, and pricing and funding strategies.
The primary technique we use to measure interest rate risk is simulation of earnings. In this measurement technique the balance sheet is modeled as an ongoing entity whereby future growth, pricing, and funding assumptions are utilized. These assumptions are modeled under different rate scenarios that include a simultaneous, instant, and sustained change in interest rates. During the third quarter of 2024, the Corporation’s interest rate risk exposure model incorporated updated assumptions regarding the level of interest rate, including indeterminable maturity deposits (non-interest bearing deposits, interest bearing transaction accounts and money market accounts). In the current environment of changing short-term rates, deposit pricing can vary by product and client. These assumptions have been developed through a combination of historical analysis and projection of future expected pricing behavior. This modeling indicated interest rate sensitivity as follows:

Management believes market risk is well managed with minimal impact on net interest income in simulated instantaneous rate shock scenarios, and we will continually monitor and adjust the balance sheet for optimal positioning as new data becomes available. The simulations used to manage market risk are based on numerous assumptions regarding the effect of changes in interest rates on the timing and extent of repricing characteristics, future cash flows and client behavior. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions, client behavior and management strategies, among other factors.
We manage the structure of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities by adjusting their mix, yield, maturity, and/or repricing characteristics based on market conditions. FHLB advances and wholesale deposits are a significant source of funds. We use a variety of maturities to augment our management of interest rate exposure. Management has the authorization, as permitted within applicable approved policies, and ability to utilize derivatives should they be appropriate to manage interest rate exposure.
