William B.

This led to strong core results in the third quarter of 2022 with $3.8 million growth in net interest income, a 23 basis point expansion of our net interest margin on a linked quarter basis, net growth in each category of loans and growth in total deposits. In addition, our asset quality metrics continue to be very good, with low levels of past due loans, commercial watch credits, and non-performing assets as well as net loan recoveries for the quarter. Our allowance for credit losses to total loans is 1.50%. As we head into the fourth quarter of 2022, our focus will continue to be on the rotation of our earning asset mix out of lower yielding investments into higher yielding loans, growing our deposit base while managing our cost of funds, and controlling our non-interest expenses. While there is increasing concern about a potential economic slowdown, at this point we continue to see healthy economic conditions and loan demand in Michigan and we are excited about the opportunities we have to continue our growth trends for the remainder of 2022 and into 2023.” Highlights for the third quarter of 2022 include: Increases in net income and diluted earnings per share of 8.4% and 11.0%, respectively, over the third quarter of 2021;Net growth in portfolio loans of $151.0 million (or 18.4% annualized);Annualized return on average assets and average equity of 1.40% and 20.48%, respectively;An increase in net interest income of 18.0% over the third quarter of 2021; andThe payment of a 22 cent per share dividend on common stock on August 16, 2022...
