The Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) warns consumers about Investment PTE LTD and Performance Investment PTE LTD and the services they are offering. BaFin suspects these operators of the website investment-pte.com of offering consumers financial and investment services without the required authorisation.

The operators of the website appeal under the name Investment PTE LTD and Performance Investment PTE LTD. They claim to have their registered office in Singapore and to be regulated in St Vincent and the Grenadines. However, there is no supervision of the operator in this country.

Anyone conducting banking business or providing financial or investment services in Germany may do so only with authorisation from BaFin. However, some companies offer these services without the necessary authorisation. Information on whether particular companies have been authorised by BaFin can be found in BaFin’s database of companies.

Theinformation provided by BaFin is based on section 37 (4) of the German Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz – KWG).

Please be aware:

BaFin, the German Federal Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt – BKA) and the German state criminal police offices (Landeskriminalämter) recommend that consumers seeking to invest money online should exercise the utmost caution and do the necessary research beforehand in order to identify fraud attempts at an early stage.

MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Salford City Council named in top ten of authorities nationally for outstanding outcomes

Source: City of Salford

Salford City Council has been named as the eighth-best council in the country in the latest IMPOWER Index, an independent measure of how efficiently councils deliver core services in relation to their budgets.

The index measures the productivity of councils across eight areas: housing, homelessness, waste and recycling, high needs, children’s services, working age adults, older adults, and their relationship with health services. These areas cover around 70 per cent of all local government spending. The top ten list recognises those authorities who have outperformed their closest statistical neighbours by the biggest margin, across the most areas.

Salford City Council has been recognised for its work including having one of the best rated children’s services in the North West and commitments to improve housing standards and tackle homelessness.

Councillor Jack Youd, Salford City Council Deputy City Mayor and Lead Member for Finance, Support Services and Regeneration, said: “We’re really pleased to be recognised in the top ten authorities in the country as it demonstrates our commitment to providing high quality services while ensuring value for money. It shows we’re one of the most efficient councils in the country.

“But we know that providing the best services to our residents, businesses and communities is not about rankings and league tables, it is in being able to respond to and work on behalf of the needs of our city.

“We are always striving to be as productive and efficient in the way we deliver services as we can be. What the IMPOWER Index does do, is give us some further insight and data that can contribute to the future planning of how we deliver services. It also gives confidence to residents that we’re among the best councils in the country for delivering high-quality, cost-effective services.

“We have clear commitments, spelt out in our corporate plan, that we’ll be delivering over the next four years to help ensure that Salford is a fairer, greener, healthier and more inclusive city.”

MIL-OSI Canada: Federal government launches new initiative to support climate resilient housing and infrastructure across communities

Source: Government of Canada News

News release

Ottawa, Ontario, October 24, 2024 —Communities across Canada will be able to build environmentally friendly, climate-resilient housing and infrastructure with support from the Climate Toolkit for Housing and Infrastructure (CTHI).

Today, Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities, launched a suite of tools, resources, and support services that will be available, free of cost, to communities to help them adapt their infrastructure to changing climate conditions, and also reduce greenhouse gas emissions during new home and infrastructure constructions. The federal government invested $94.7 million in CTHI, and it will include a help desk, an online platform, and a roster of climate and infrastructure experts.

The Climate Help Desk provides communities with direct support and guidance on infrastructure and climate-related concerns. Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada operates the help desk which offers advice and best practices on how to make environmentally friendly and climate resilient considerations during project planning and development.

In collaboration with ICLEI Canada – an organization that supports local governments by providing them with the expertise and resources to take climate action in their communities – we have also launched the ClimateInsight.ca Platform. The platform will ease the burden of data collection for small and medium sized communities. With guided navigation, the platform will provide easy access to curated tools and resources on one dedicated website.

Finally, in partnership with the Canadian Urban Institute (CUI) – a national research organization dedicated to achieving healthy urban development – we will be launching the Roster of Climate and Infrastructure Experts in December 2024. The federal government’s investment will help CUI establish a roster of employees consisting of housing, infrastructure, and climate experts. This service will allow small communities with eligible infrastructure and housing projects to request climate related support. The roster will match communities with specialized experts to provide project-specific advice on reducing emissions and increasing climate resilience.

Investing in the tools and services needed to improve the resiliency of Canadian infrastructure will support the continued success and economic growth of communities for years to come.

Quotes

“As we deal with the growing impacts of climate change, the Climate Toolkit for Housing and Infrastructure will help us work with communities across the country to ensure that new homes and infrastructure have minimal impact on the environment, while better protecting people, their houses, their businesses, and their livelihoods from the impacts of climate change.”

The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities

“The impacts of extreme weather and climate change are no longer distant concerns. This is a new reality municipalities need to prepare for now more than ever while simultaneously shifting towards a net-zero future. Climate Insight will play a crucial role in equipping local practitioners with the data and information they need to build low-carbon, climate-resilient communities.”

Megan Meaney, Executive Director, ICLEI Canada

“Communities across Canada are facing an unprecedented challenge in adapting to the growing impacts of climate change while modernizing critical infrastructure. To help advance a sustainable and resilient future, we must support these communities from coast to coast to coast, empowering them to consider climate information in infrastructure decision making. The Roster of Climate and Infrastructure Experts plays a vital role by equipping local governments in smaller communities with the specialized expertise needed to integrate innovative approaches to infrastructure projects that foster locally specific climate solutions.”

Mary W. Rowe, President & CEO, Canadian Urban Institute

Quick facts

On June 27, 2023, the federal government released National Adaptation Strategy. It commits $1.6 billion in new federal funding to help address both immediate and future climate risks to Canadian communities.
The National Adaptation Strategy and Government of Canada Adaptation Action Plan have committed $94.7M over 5 years to deliver a climate toolkit and services through the Climate Toolkit for Housing and Infrastructure initiative (CTHI).
The Climate Toolkit for Housing and Infrastructure will support the development of integrated climate-related tools, resources and services for communities:
- Climate Help Desk to provide direct support to address infrastructure and climate-related inquiries;
- Roster of Climate and Infrastructure Experts to provide access to expert advice to strengthen climate-related considerations of public infrastructure and housing projects; and
- Climate Tools and Resources that are widely available and accessible through the ClimateInsight.ca Platform.

MIL-OSI: Rudy R. Miller Instrument Safety Currency Program (ISCP) Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, College of Aviation, Prescott Campus

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Rudy R. Miller Instrument Safety Currency Program (ISCP) at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, College of Aviation, Prescott Campus, was created and funded by Mr. Miller in 2023, with students receiving simulator time starting in Spring 2024. The ISCP was created to build a curriculum that was compliant with federal regulations for instrument currency. Embry-Riddle’s training experts completed that curriculum which was then reviewed and validated by Embry-Riddle’s Chief Instructor, Ryan Albrecht. Once the process was completed and approved, the curriculum was uploaded into the flight systems for logging and tracking of activity.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, in coordination with the Prescott’s College of Aviation’s Flight Department and Flight Director, Parker Northrup, oversees the administration of the ISCP fund. This program supports flight students in their junior year flight course to maintain the skills they learned in their instrument rating course where focus is spent on learning commercial performance maneuvers and often allows instrument skills to degrade. The ISCP provides simulator time to update the instrument currency as required by Federal Aviation Regulations.

ISCP RECIPIENTS SPRING 2024

Christopher Gurule, Aeronautical Science Degree
Kaleo Mendoza, Aeronautical Science Degree
Joseph Molitor, Aeronautical Science Degree
Reza Parva, Aeronautical Science Degree

Parker Northrup, Chair, Flight Department, College of Aviation, Prescott Campus, said “Mr. Rudy Miller’s engagement and generosity are such a valuable addition to what we strive to do with our students. ISCP allows us to selectively reinforce the safety culture that depends on maintaining those skills critical to safe instrument flying

Rudy R. Miller commented, “I would like to thank Parker Northrup and Steve Bobinsky, executive director of philanthropy, for their time plus all their remarkable team members’ assistance in supporting this outstanding program for qualified students. I have really enjoyed working on this project over the past year and plan to stay involved.

“The future is bright regarding all the numerous new projects, expansions, and improvements that Embry-Riddle, Prescott Campus, is executing, from my perspective. I am currently involved in a total of five Embry-Riddle projects with respect to my personal time involvement and various funding capabilities.”

Fully diluted NAV per share up +16.1%⁴ since the start of the year when restating for the €4 dividend paid in May 2024 reflecting:
- Strong increase in Bureau Veritas’ share price (+34% YTD)
- Slight decrease in value of non-listed assets
- Positive contribution of Asset Management activities (IK Partners), reflecting the increase in market multiples

Very active implementation of new strategic directions and active portfolio rotation

- $1.13 billion will be invested in equity to acquire 75% of Monroe Capital, as announced on October 22, 2024 (closing expected in the first half of 2025)

Wendel Asset Management business is now a significant performance driver

Considering the announced acquisition of Monroe Capital, Wendel’s Asset Management platform will represent c.€31bn of AuM in private assets⁵
In 2025, Wendel AM business is expected to generate c.€160m⁶ of Fee Related Earnings (“FRE”) and c.€185m of total pre-tax profit in 2025
IK Partners Fee Paying AuM up +19% over the first 9 months of 2024

Very strong organic growth at Bureau Veritas (+10.4% over 9 months)
Solid growth at CPI (+7.9%)

Pro forma total liquidity of €1.4⁸ billion as of September 30, 2024, including €0.5 billion in cash and €875 million in committed credit facility (fully undrawn)

Laurent Mignon, Wendel Group CEO, commented:

“The first nine months of 2024 have been generating good value creation for shareholders, with fully diluted Net Asset Value growing by 13.7%, driven notably by Bureau Veritas’ strong stock price and operating performances.

We continue to enhance our cash flow generation and value creation profile, by executing our strategic plan with determination, rigor and financial discipline, as demonstrated by the Monroe Capital acquisition, announced two days ago, while also focusing on premium assets in our principal investment activities, highlighted by the recent acquisition of Globeducate.

Our transformation to a dual-strategy model is now well-grounded, with top partners in asset management such as IK Partners in private equity and now Monroe Capital in private credit.

Following the investment in Globeducate and the announced acquisition of Monroe Capital, the priorities of Wendel’s teams are to create value on existing assets, to successfully build the private asset management platform around IK Partners and Monroe Capital, and to maintain a solid financial structure.”

Wendel’s net asset value as of September 30, 2024: €184.5 per share on a fully diluted basis

Wendel’s Net Asset Value (NAV) as of September 30, 2024, was prepared by Wendel to the best of its knowledge and on the basis of market data available at this date and in compliance with its methodology.

Fully diluted Net Asset Value was €184.5 per share as of September 30, 2024 (see detail in the table below), as compared to €162.3 on December 31, 2023, representing an increase of +13.7% since the start of the year and +16.1% restated for the dividend paid in 2024. Compared to the last 20-day average share price as of September 30, the discount to the September 30, 2024, fully diluted NAV per share was -50.6%.

Bureau Veritas contributed very positively to the increase in Net Asset Value: on September 30, its 20-day average share price was up strongly (+34.3%) compared to December 31, 2023. Impacts from share price movements from IHS Towers (-30.0%) and Tarkett (-2.8%) were negligible given the weight of Bureau Veritas in the NAV. Total value creation per share of listed assets was therefore +€26.1 over the first nine months of 2024 on a fully diluted basis.

Unlisted assets’ contribution to the growth of the NAV was slightly negative over the first nine months of the year with a total change per share of -€1.2, reflecting a positive evolution of the market multiples and from bolt-on acquisitions, more than entirely offset by negative FX effect and selective downward revisions of outlooks for the current year (compared to December 31, 2023).

Asset management activities were consolidated and accounted in the NAV for the first time at the end of June following the acquisition of IK Partners. There is no sponsor money included in the NAV yet, as no capital has been called. IK Partners’ valuation is up by €1.5 per share over the third quarter, driven by positive market multiples evolution.

Cash operating costs and net financing results impacted NAV by -€1.2 over 9 months, as Wendel benefited from a positive carry. The impact of year-to-date share buybacks on fully diluted NAV per share is +€1.4 per share more as of September 30, 2024, than as of December 31, 2023. Other assets and liabilities impacted NAV by -€0.5.

Total Net Asset Value increase amounted to €26.2 per share over the first nine months of the year before dividend payment.

Wendel’s Principal Investments’ portfolio rotation

Since the beginning of the year, Wendel has realized a total of €2.3 billion in disposals for its own account and has invested €0.7 billion, reflecting the acceleration of the diversification of its investment portfolio, in line with the strategy announced a few months ago:

Wendel announced on January 4, 2024, that it had completed the sale of Constantia Flexibles, generating total net proceeds⁹ for Wendel of €1,121 million for its shares, i.e. a valuation over 10% higher than the latest NAV on record before the announcement of the transaction (as at March 31, 2023).
Wendel announced on April 5, 2024, that it had successfully completed the sale of 40.5 million shares in Bureau Veritas, representing c.9% of the Company’s share capital, for total proceeds of approximately €1.1 billion. The transaction was carried out at a price of €27.127, or a discount of 3% from the previous day’s share price.
Wendel Growth realized its investment in Preligens, a leader in artificial intelligence (AI) for aerospace and defence, generating net proceeds to Wendel of c.€14.6M, translating into a gross IRR of 28%¹⁰. In addition, Wendel Growth announced on June 11, 2024, the acquisition of a minority stake in YesWeHack through an equity investment of €14.5 million.
Wendel reinvested €43.7m in Scalian upon the acquisition of MANNARINO Systems & Software on June 21, 2024. This Canadian company is a leading engineering services specialist for advanced technology R&D for the aviation sector, primarily in North America, with recognized expertise in safety-critical embedded software and systems.
On October 16, 2024, Wendel completed the acquisition of c.50% of Globeducate, one of the world’s leading international K-12 education groups, from Providence Equity Partners. Wendel invested €625 million of equity, at an Enterprise Value of c.€2 billion¹¹, to join Providence, and both firms will now own c.50% of the group.

Wendel’s Asset Management platform evolution

Acquisition of Monroe Capital dramatically expands Wendel’s Asset Management platform and rebalances its business model towards more recurring cash flows and growth

Wendel announced on October 22 that it had entered into a definitive partnership agreement including the acquisition of 75% of Monroe Capital LLC (“Monroe Capital” or “the Company”), and a sponsoring program of $800 million to accelerate Monroe Capital’s growth, and will invest in GP commitment for up to $200 million.

For Wendel, the acquisition of a controlling stake in Monroe Capital, a private credit market leader focused on the U.S. lower middle market that has established an outstanding track record, would represent a significant and transformational advancement of the strategy it announced in March 2023 to develop its third-party asset management platform to complement its longstanding Principal Investment business.

With IK Partners and Monroe Capital, Wendel’s third party asset management platform will reach c.€31 billion in AUM¹², c.€ 455 million revenues, c.€160 million pre-tax FRE (c.€101 million in pre-tax FRE (Wendel share) by 2025 and is expected to reach €150 million (Wendel share) in pre-tax FRE by 2027 through double-digit organic growth.

Listed Assets: 36% of Gross Asset Value

Bureau Veritas – Strong Q3 2024 organic revenue growth; refocused portfolio with ongoing acquisitions acceleration, in line with the LEAP | 28 strategy; 2024 revenue outlook upgraded

(Full consolidation)

Revenue in the first nine months of 2024 totaled € 4,569.6 million, a 5.6% increase year-to-date.

Revenue in the third quarter of 2024 amounted to € 1,547.9 million, an 8.8% increase compared to Q3 2023. Organic growth achieved a strong 13.0%, which led to 10.5% on a 9-month basis. The scope effect was a positive 0.5%, reflecting bolt-on acquisitions (contributing to +1.1%) realized in the past few quarters and partly offset by the impact of small divestments completed over the last twelve months (contributing to -0.6%). Currency fluctuations had a negative impact of 4.7%, due to the strength of the euro against most currencies.

Three businesses delivered very strong organic growth: Marine & Offshore, up 13.2%, Industry, up 23.8%, and Certification, up 17.7%. Buildings & Infrastructure further recovered, up 9.3% organically in the third quarter (after 4.3% in the first half) while both Consumer Products Services and Agri Food & Commodities grew high-single digits organically, both reflecting improving market trends.

Based on the 9-month performance, leveraging a healthy and growing sales pipeline and strong underlying market growth, Bureau Veritas now expects to deliver for the full year 2024:

9 to 10% organic revenue growth (from “high single-digit” previously);
Improvement in adjusted operating margin at constant exchange rates;
Strong cash flow, with a cash conversion above 90%.

Tarkett – Slight organic decrease year-to-date, with Q3 2024 solid organic sales growth of +2.4%, as Sports division grew at a sustained pace in the most important quarter of the year. Activity remained sluggish in flooring, particularly in EMEA and the CIS countries

(Equity method)

Revenue in the first nine months of 2024 amounted to €2,560.7 million, down by -1.2% compared to the same period of 2023, reflecting an organic decline of -0.4%. Sales prices remained stable over the financial year, i.e. -0.3% compared to the first nine months of 2023. In Q3 2024, Group net sales came to €1,002 million, up +1.8% compared to the third quarter of 2023. Organic growth reached +2.4%. Sales prices remained broadly stable over the year, with a slight decline of -0.5% compared to the third quarter of 2023.

Stahl – Total sales up 1.6% for the first 9 months of 2024 on the back of Q3 market challenges in the leather market for automotive and luxury goods

(full consolidation) 

Stahl, the world leader in specialty coatings for flexible materials, posted total sales of €687.9 million in the first 9 months of 2024, representing a total increase of +1.6% over the period. Organically, sales were slightly down -0.4%, in a context of tougher markets in automotive and luxury goods, while FX contributed -1.3%. The acquisition of ICP Industrial Solutions Group (ISG) in March 2023 contributed positively (+3.3%) to total sales variation.

Stahl Q3 sales were down -4.7% (-3.1% organically and -1.6% due to FX) linked to the weaker market performance of the automotive and luxury goods sectors, notably in August, which was a particularly quiet month this year as many Italian tanneries were inactive for a four-week period due to reduced activity.

On September 27, Stahl completed the acquisition of WEILBURGER Coatings, a leading German-based manufacturer of water-based and energy cured coatings for the graphic arts and packaging industry. The transaction significantly strengthens Stahl’s packaging coatings division and supports its strategy to broaden its franchise for specialty coatings for flexible materials. This acquisition strengthens Stahl’s strategic position in Europe, positioning the company as the second-largest packaging coatings player in the region. WEILBURGER Coatings posted sales of €70 million in 2023 and has over 140 employees, primarily based in Germany.

Stahl also announced it maintained its Platinum EcoVadis rating for the third consecutive year, reaffirming its commitment to sustainability. In August, Stahl was awarded the Living Wage certification strengthening its commitment to fair compensation and employee well-being.

Crisis Prevention Institute reports +8.2% revenue as compared with 9M 2023

(full consolidation)

CPI recorded first nine months 2024 revenues of $112 million, up +8.2% compared to 9M 2023, or +8.1% organically (FX impact was +0.1%), resulting from the addition of new certified instructors across end markets and geographies, and strong consumption of training materials, signifying active training of broader staff throughout the Company’s primary customers in educational, healthcare and human services settings. The company’s year-to-date results include relatively flat year-over-year revenue for the third quarter, however, reflecting what management describes as a temporary, seasonal slowdown in new certified instructors and a difficult year-over-year comparison resulting from an unusually large enterprise program added in the third quarter of 2023.

2024 continues to be a pivotal year for CPI in growing its impact and reach, including further global expansion with the opening of its first office in the United Arab Emirates, and new program launches, including Reframing Behavior, a new certification program designed to help educators build a more positive, supportive learning environment and prevent disruptive classroom behavior. In addition, regulatory and legislative actions continue to provide support for workplace violence prevention programs and related training, including expanded requirements in New York, Texas and California during 2024.

ACAMS – ACAMS reports positive total growth amid accelerated transformation

(full consolidation)

ACAMS, the global leader in training and certifications for anti-money laundering and financial crime prevention professionals, reported year-to-date bookings of $78 million, roughly flat with reported bookings for the same period in 2023, and revenue of $77 million for the first nine months of 2024, representing 8% year-over-year growth. The results for the first nine months of 2024 reflect continued growth and market expansion in North America and Europe, largely offset by declines with customers in the Asia-Pacific region. As well, the year-to-date results include the impact of ACAMS’ flagship Las Vegas conference that was held in the third quarter of 2024 and fourth quarter of 2023. Excluding the impact of this timing difference would reduce year-over-year bookings and revenue growth for the nine months ending September 30, 2024, to -0.8% and +0.3%, respectively.

The Company has made considerable progress in its transformation this year. Having largely completed its separation and transition to a stand-alone, independent company in 2023, ACAMS has made many investments instrumental to the Company’s future growth, including organizational changes led by the CEO, Neil Sternthal, who joined ACAMS in early 2024 and subsequently added several executives, including a new Chief Financial Officer and a Chief Revenue Officer, investments in the Company’s technology platform, business analytics and sales organizations, and new product development, most notably with the planned introduction of its Certified Anti-Fraud Specialist (CAFS) certification.

Scalian – Slight decrease of total sales of -0.2% year-to-date, in a context of overall market slowdown

(full consolidation since July 2023.) 

Scalian, a European leader in digital transformation, project management and operational performance consulting, reported total revenues of €401.3 million over the first 9 months in a context of continued industry slowdown, in particular supply chain tensions in the aeronautic sector as well as the turndown of the European automotive sector. Sales are down by -2.5% organically and benefited from a positive scope effect of +2.3%.

Scalian announced the acquisition of Dulin Technology in January 2024, a Spanish-based consulting firm specializing in cybersecurity for the financial sector, and MANNARINO Systems & Software in June 2024, a Canadian-based company that is a leading engineering services specialist with a unique know-how in advanced technology R&D for the aviation sector.

MIL-OSI USA: Rep. Sewell Announces $43.7 Million for Water Infrastructure in Alabama

Source: United States House of Representatives – Congresswoman Terri Sewell (AL-07)

Birmingham, AL – Today, U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell (AL-07) announced that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is investing $3.6 billion in new funding under the Biden-Harris Administration’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to upgrade our nation’s water infrastructure, including $43.7 million for the State of Alabama. This funding will help communities across Alabama upgrade water infrastructure that is essential to safely managing wastewater and drinking water in our homes, schools, and businesses.

“I voted for the Biden-Harris Infrastructure Law because it promised to make the largest investment in wastewater and drinking water infrastructure in our nation’s history,” said Rep. Sewell. “Thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration, we are delivering on that promise. I am thrilled to announce that Alabama will receive over $43.7 million to help communities upgrade wastewater and drinking water infrastructure. Access to clean water is a basic human right, and this investment represents critical progress in our continued fight for equitable and safe wastewater systems. I thank President Biden and Vice President Harris for this historic investment, and I look forward to working with the State of Alabama to ensure these new resources reach the communities that need them most.”

“Water keeps us healthy, sustains vibrant communities and dynamic ecosystems, and supports economic opportunity. When our water infrastructure fails, it threatens people’s health, peace of mind, and the environment,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “With the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s historic investment in water, EPA is working with states and local partners to upgrade infrastructure and address local challenges—from lead in drinking water, to PFAS, to water main breaks, to sewer overflows and climate resilience. Together, we are creating good-paying jobs while ensuring that all people can rely on clean and safe water.”

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funds will flow through the Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds (CWSRF and DWSRF), a long-standing federal-state water investment partnership. This multibillion-dollar investment will fund state-run, low-interest loan programs that address key challenges in financing water infrastructure. Today’s announcement includes allotments for Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Clean Water General Supplemental funds for Alabama ($27,824,000), Emerging Contaminant funds ($2,402,000), and ($13,490,000) under the Drinking Water Emerging Contaminant Fund.

This funding is part of a five-year, $50 billion investment in water infrastructure through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law – the largest investment in water infrastructure in American history. To ensure investments reach communities that need them the most, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law mandates that most of the funding announced today must be provided to disadvantaged communities in the form of grants or loans that do not have to be repaid.

To read stories about how unprecedented investments in water from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law are transforming communities across the country, visit EPA’s Investing in America’s Water Infrastructure Storymap. To read more about additional projects, see EPA’s recently released Quarterly Report on Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Funded Clean Water and Drinking Water SRF projects.

For more information, including the state-by-state allocation of 2025 funding and a breakdown of EPA SRF funding available under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, please visit the Clean Water State Revolving Fund website and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund website. Additionally, the SRF Public Portal allows users to access data from both the Drinking Water and Clean Water SRF programs through interactive reports, dashboards, and maps.

The State Revolving Fund (SRF) programs have been the foundation of water infrastructure investments for more than 30 years, providing low-cost financing for local projects across America. SRF programs are critically important programs for investing in the nation’s water infrastructure. They are designed to generate significant and sustainable water quality and public health benefits across the country. Their impact is amplified by the growth inherent in a revolving loan structure, in which payments of principal and interest on loans become available to address future needs.

MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Local Government Association Conference

Source: United Kingdom – Executive Government & Departments

A speech from the Deputy Prime Minister

Location:: Harrogate
Delivered on:: 24 October 2024 (Transcript of the speech, exactly as it was delivered)

Firstly, I want to say a massive thank you to you, some of our most dedicated, brilliant public servants in this room.

For everything that you do, every day, to keep our country going.

You’ve shown remarkable resilience through some tough – and very tough – years.

During the pandemic, you kept vital services running in our communities.

Through this period of economic instability, you’ve made tough choices to protect the most vulnerable.

And following a summer of violent far-right disorder, you stood up for the values of decency and community that define our country.

And time and again, you step forward to support your local communities.

Now, I understand that this conference was originally planned for just before the General Election.

I have to admit that I’m much happier to be stood here as your Deputy Prime Minister!

Last year in Bournemouth, I said that if we were elected, we would deliver a plan for change.

A new way of governing. A government of public service.

And just over 100 days into government and we are getting on with the job.

We’re fixing the foundations to build a country that works for working people.

And local government is at the heart of this vision.

Because as you all know, I am a creature of local government.

I loved my job as a home help for Stockport council.

And I learned the importance of a good local service, and what it meant to really know and trust your community.

Back then, local government wasn’t on its knees.

Don’t get me wrong, things weren’t easy.

But we had the time and resource to provide a good service.

I know that good, functioning local government looks like great working with a good central government working in genuine partnership to deliver better outcomes.

So I know we can’t deliver true change for Britain without the support of every one of you in this room.

We can’t deliver for our missions without you.

Take our plans to deliver 1.5 million homes, including a new generation of secure, social and affordable homes.

The delivery of safer streets, an NHS and social care system that’s back on its feet.

The sustained economic growth we need to raise living standards.

And the strong communities on which good lives are built.

That’s why, in my very first week in the job – as Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government – I put local government back where it belongs.

At the heart of my department’s name and mission. 

And I’m lucky I have Jim by my side, the Minister of State for Local Government – who has run a council and knows local government from the inside out – and he’s here with me today and as part of the team.

Louise, your new Chair, also represents the best of local government – a fierce commitment to public service and leadership steeped in years of experience – not too many years, but a few.

And the fact that her predecessor, Shaun, has now joined us in the House of Commons just goes to show we are a government that believes in the power of local government.

We know what’s possible when you give people with skin in the game the power to change lives.

And, after an incredibly difficult few years, it’s time to unleash that power.

Which means resetting our relationship with local government and rebuilding its foundations.

It means ditching the slogans and gimmicks and going back to basics: delivering services that people can rely on.

You don’t need me to tell you how much harder that job has been after fourteen years of neglect.

[Redacted political content]

Councils stuck in a doom loop with money pouring out of a system with too many cracks.

And it isn’t just the scandal of wasted money. It’s the heartache of the wasted lives and potential.

[Redacted political content]

For all the promises about localism and levelling up, there was an assumption that if something needed doing, it should be done from Whitehall.

With central government hoarding power, micromanaging you, intervening in an uncoordinated and unhelpful way.

A begging-bowl system of wasteful competitive pots that led to councils bidding to pay for chess tables in public parks.

No more.

We’re going to turn the page on this failed approach – bringing local government into the heart of government.

As part of a partnership based on honesty and respect.

And it’s in that spirit that we need to face up to the financial crisis facing local government.

We all know that there’s no quick fix.

The dire public finances – the £22 billion black hole – we’ve inherited mean that it’s going to take hard graft on all sides to get us back on the road to recovery.

We knew things were bad, but on entering office, we uncovered a shocking crisis in local government which was far beyond what we had anticipated.

Councils of all political stripes have been left shelling out millions to plaster over the government’s mismanagement.

[Redacted political content]

To make matters worse, we discovered that over the last decade, the last [Redacted political content] government ripped away any financial oversight of council spending, scrapping the Audit Commission and pushing councils to borrow more and more.

This reckless approach has left the government with no transparent system in place to warn the public when a council is struggling.

And more and more authorities are struggling to stay afloat with communities in the most deprived parts of our country disproportionately affected, through cuts to services that they desperately depend on, as people’s [inaudible] go up.

And get it.

And I know we need change urgently.

You’ve all heard me say it – I’m going provide multi-year funding settlements, that will give you the stability and certainty to plan and invest for the long-term.

And that we will end the Dragon’s Den-style bidding wars between councils for competitive funding pots.

Instead, we’ll show you some respect with long-term funding, giving you flexibility to spend it where it is needed. 

And through the next Local Government Finance Settlement and beyond, we will provide more detail on how this is going to work.

Let me be clear that we can’t fix the system overnight.

[Redacted political content]

And I have to say, looking at the numbers we inherited, I am shocked by the scale of neglect.

It is going to be a long, hard slog to get local government back on its feet.

And in the short term, we’re doing all that we can to protect severely struggling councils, which is why I can announce that we are scrapping the punitive ‘pay day loan’ premium on borrowing for councils in need of Exceptional Financial Support.

This government will take a collaborative and a constructive approach to councils in financial difficulty.

You know I can’t go into detail about the Spending Review.

So let me talk to you today about things that I can tell you.

Fundamentally, I want to work together, across central and local government to reform high-cost public services and focus on preventing people from needing them in the first place.

Tackling profiteering in broken markets serving vulnerable groups, like we’ve seen in some of the private children’s homes.

When it comes to prevention, there can be few bigger priorities for us than preventing homelessness – one of the biggest pressures that you face.

By getting Britain building again. Speeding up the planning system and reintroducing mandatory housing targets.

I know that this will mean asking more from local councils.

Which is why we’re boosting the number of planners.

As part of our plans, to strengthen local planning departments and reinforce planning obligations to deliver more affordable homes on new developments – we will support you to hold developers to account.

And it’s why we’re also reviewing Right to Buy, to stem the loss of precious council homes.

But we’ll also tackle homelessness directly, by learning lessons from the past and working with local leaders to take action on all forms of homelessness.

We will develop a cross-government strategy to get us back on track to end homelessness.

We will also reform the broken local audit system in England that we inherited.

This should be the bedrock of local accountability and transparency, of trust and confidence in local democracy.

Instead, last year, just one percent of local bodies were able to publish audited accounts by the deadline.

This cannot go on.

We have already taken decisive action to introduce backstop dates to clear the backlog in unaudited accounts.

Local audit will and must provide value for money for the taxpayers and be fit for the future.

And similarly, when the way councils are run has gone wrong, central government hasn’t always responded constructively.

Instead kicking councils when they’re down for political reasons.

This Labour government are going to do things differently.

We will work with every council that needs it to put in place clear, deliverable plans to address problems and protect local taxpayers, rather than treating them as political footballs.

That’s the approach we’re taking in Birmingham.

Significant challenges continue to face the city council, but we’re going to work with the councillors and the community to solve them in partnership.

Birmingham has huge potential – and we’re going to work closely with the partners across the West Midlands to unlock that potential, including with the Mayor Parker of the West Midlands Combined Authority.

And that’s the change that we represent.

Not punishment, but collaboration.

Getting places into a stable financial footing by, yes, making difficult decisions, but with the interests of residents at the heart.

Our aim is to support councils to perform at their very best.

Councillor conduct / standards framework

Standards in local government matter – both the delivery of services and personal conduct.

Every decision you make has an impact on the daily lives of those you serve.

And most councillors meet the highest standards of public office and I am so proud to be representing you in government.

But sadly we all know there are rare occasions where bad behaviour occurs.

I’ve been made aware of cases of persistent bullying and harassment by councillors, even, in some cases, leading to victims’ resignations.

We don’t have a system that protects victims or empowers councils to deal with unacceptable behaviour.

And this cannot go on and we will give councils the powers to address poor conduct.

We will consult on reforms to the local government standards framework, including a proposal to allow for the suspension of members who violate codes of conduct.

But we also recognise that too often, councillors become victims themselves.

Too often I speak to dedicated councillors who are facing death threats and intimidation.

And I take this very seriously and recognise the impact this has on the lives of dedicated public servants and their families.

That’s why we are taking decisive action to prevent councillors from being subjected to intimidation and harassment by removing the requirement for members’ home addresses to be published.

[And I want you to know] this is a government that respects and appreciates the huge contribution made by councillors who work tirelessly for residents – and we will always have your back.

We are also taking a more collaborative approach to pressing issues like the widespread workforce challenges you are experiencing.

Ninety-four per cent of councils say they’re having difficulties with recruitment and retention.

This isn’t just your problem – it’s all our problem because council staff are on the frontline serving local communities.

So, we’re ready to work hand in hand with you to find creative solutions to staffing issues.

We’ll launch a Workforce Development Group in partnership with the sector to gain a shared understanding of the most immediate priorities and focus our efforts on where we can add the most value to your work.

And when we say we’ll work in partnership with the sector, every step of the way, we mean it.

I have formally launched our new Leaders’ Council at this very conference – which will give local government a voice at the heart of government – this a mark of just how seriously we take this.

The Council will bring together local government leaders and ministers to tackle shared problems and deliver for the communities they all ultimately serve.

We will use it to learn from the exciting innovations that councils are pioneering.

And we hugely respect your knowledge and expertise.

But it’s more than that.

The Leaders’ Council will be critical for co-designing policy at the highest levels.

And I look forward to working closely with the Council over the coming years.

Gone are the day of diktats from above.

It is time for those with skin in the game to be put in the driving seat.

That is what our devolution agenda is all about.

We will make it easier for you to come together and form combined authorities and devolve more powers to existing ones – meaning access to new powers over skills, transport and employment support.

Our landmark English Devolution Bill will deliver our manifesto commitment to transfer power out of Whitehall, making devolution the default setting.

And look, I know the coming years won’t always be easy, but I’m confident that, working in partnership, we can fix the basics so that you can focus on the things that really matter to our and your communities.

My starting point is that we should be clear about what we ask of you and then give you the autonomy and the support you need to deliver.

So, where we don’t need to get involved, we won’t.

It’s not our place, for example, to decide whether councillors should attend your meetings remotely or use proxy votes when they need to.

So, I can announce today that we’re putting forward proposals to let councils make the decision for themselves.

Which means making it possible for people from all walks of life to have a stake in local democracy, whether they have caring responsibilities or aren’t able to make it to the town hall in person because of illness or disability.

It’s right that we make it easier for more people to get involved in making their community a great place to live.

It’s also right that we expect the highest standards of local government – with central government playing its part as a responsible steward.

And for me this is personal.

I’m passionate about backing you with the long-term funding and certainty that you need.

The powers you need.

And the new relationship that we all need.

So local government can once again be a strong, functioning arm of the state, providing public services that people can rely on.

And I want to thank you, once again, for everything that you do for our communities.

This is a government of service that is on your side.

And the road ahead won’t always be a smooth path, but we will walk it together and build a better Britain.

Thank you.

MIL-OSI USA: Baldwin Announces $86 Million for Clean and Safe Drinking Water in Wisconsin Through Bipartisan Infrastructure Law

US Senate News:

Source: United States Senator for Wisconsin Tammy Baldwin

WISCONSIN – Today, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) announced Wisconsin is receiving an additional $86 million through her Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to upgrade water infrastructure and ensure communities have access to clean and safe drinking water. The funding will help communities across Wisconsin protect local freshwater resources, replace dangerous lead pipes, address PFAS and other contaminants, and deliver safe drinking water to homes, schools, and businesses.

“No matter your zip code, every Wisconsin family should be confident when they turn on the tap, their drinking water is clean and safe. Our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is replacing dangerous lead pipes, protecting families from dangerous chemicals like PFAS, and delivering clean water to homes, schools, and businesses in every corner of the Badger State. I’m proud to help deliver this investment for Wisconsin families’ health and future,” said Senator Baldwin.

“Wisconsinites deserve to be able to trust that the water coming from their tap is clean and safe to drink,” said Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers. “Thanks to the hard work of Senator Baldwin and the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America Agenda, these investments will help us build upon our work to improve our state’s water infrastructure, get rid of harmful contaminants like PFAS and lead, and make a real difference for folks and families across our state.”

The Baldwin-backed Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funds will flow through Wisconsin’s Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds (CWSRF and DWSRF), a long-standing federal-state water investment partnership. The investment will fund state-run, low-interest loan programs that address key challenges in financing water infrastructure. Today’s announcement includes allotments for Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Clean Water General Supplemental funds for Wisconsin ($67,272,000), Emerging Contaminant funds ($5,807,000), and ($13,082,000) under the Drinking Water Emerging Contaminant Fund.

Senator Baldwin secured key provisions of her Made in America Act in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, ensuring that American iron and steel are used in the construction of the water infrastructure under the CWSRF and DWSRF. In addition to today’s funding announcement, Wisconsin has so far received over $330 million for water infrastructure under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was $74.8 million, an increase of $914,000, or 1.2%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2024, $813,000 of which was driven by one additional day in the current quarter. Higher interest rates drove a net increase of $147,000 in net interest income, which was reflected in a $1.2 million increase in interest income earned on interest-earnings assets offset by a $1.1 million increase in interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

Higher interest rates on LHFI drove a $2.0 million increase in the yield for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2024, $1.5 million of which was driven by real estate-based loans. The average rate on LHFI increased to 6.67% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to 6.58% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Higher interest rates on savings and interest-bearing transaction accounts drove a $1.1 million increase in interest expense, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits increased to 4.01% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to 3.95% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

The Federal Reserve Board sets various benchmark rates, including the federal funds rate, and thereby influences the general market rates of interest, including the loan and deposit rates offered by financial institutions. The federal funds target rate range was reduced by 50 basis points on September 18, 2024, to a range of 4.75% to 5.00%, the first rate reduction since early 2020.

The NIM-FTE was 3.18% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, representing a one- and a four-basis-point increase compared to the linked quarter and the prior year same quarter, respectively. The yield earned on interest-earning assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was 6.09%, an increase of five and 40 basis points compared to the linked quarter and the prior year same quarter, respectively. The average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was 4.04%, representing a six- and 45-basis point increase compared to the linked quarter and the prior year same quarter, respectively.

As discussed in our June 30, 2024, Origin Bancorp, Inc. Earnings Release, we reversed $1.2 million of accrued loan interest during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, due to certain questioned activity involving a single banker, who has since been terminated, in our East Texas market. This reversal of accrued loan interest income negatively impacted the fully tax equivalent net interest margin (“NIM-FTE”) by five basis points for the linked quarter. Had we not experienced the reversal of the $1.2 million of accrued interest income during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, our NIM-FTE would have been 3.22% for the linked quarter, and we would have experienced a four-basis point decrease in our current NIM-FTE compared to the linked quarter. There was no equivalent interest income reversal during the current quarter and these loans remain on non-accrual.

Net charge-offs to total average LHFI (annualized)		0.48			0.15			0.14			0.33		N/A

___________________________

⁽¹⁾	Please see the Loan Data schedule at the back of this document for additional information.
⁽²⁾	The ALCL to total LHFI, adjusted, is calculated by excluding the ALCL for MW LOC loans from the total LHFI ALCL in the numerator and excluding the MW LOC loans from the LHFI in the denominator. Due to their low-risk profile, MW LOC loans require a disproportionately low allocation of the ALCL.

As discussed in our June 30, 2024, Origin Bancorp, Inc. Earnings Release, our credit metrics were negatively impacted by certain questioned activity involving a single banker, who has since been terminated, in our East Texas market. Our investigation of this activity remains ongoing and is not final; however, as a result of a forbearance agreement with one of our impacted customer relationships, our past due LHFI declined $26.4 million when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2024. There was no material change in the level of our nonperforming or classified LHFI principal balances between the current quarter and the linked quarter as a result of the questioned activity. We continue to work with an outside forensic accounting firm to confirm the bank’s identification and reconciliation of the activity, targeting a conclusion of this analysis by the end of this year. At this time, we believe that any ultimate loss arising from the situation will not be material to our financial position.

Past due LHFI were $38.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $66.3 million at June 30, 2024. Of the $27.4 million decrease, $26.4 million were impacted by or related to the questioned activity. The remaining net decrease in past due LHFI was primarily due to charge-offs or payoffs in commercial and industrial past due loans during the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Nonperforming LHFI decreased $11.5 million for the quarter reflecting a decrease in the percentage of nonperforming LHFI to LHFI to 0.81% compared to 0.95% for the linked quarter. The decrease in nonperforming loans was primarily driven by three commercial and industrial loan relationships totaling $14.6 million at June 30, 2024, $10.4 million of which were charged-off and $4.2 million were paid down during the current quarter.

Classified loans decreased $10.8 million to $107.5 million at September 30, 2024, reflecting 1.35% as a percentage of total LHFI, down 14 basis points from the linked quarter. The decrease in classified loans was primarily driven by the same three commercial and industrial loan relationships mentioned in the nonperforming loan paragraph directly above.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was $16.0 million, a decrease of $6.5 million, or 28.8%, from the linked quarter. The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily driven by decreases of $5.2 million, $725,000 and $621,000 in the change in fair value of equity investments, mortgage banking revenue and other income, respectively.

The decrease in change in fair value of equity investments was due to a $5.2 million positive valuation adjustment on a non-marketable equity security recognized during the linked quarter with no comparable amount recognized during the current quarter.

The decrease in mortgage banking revenue was primarily due to an $833,000 combined decrease in the pipeline and interest rate lock commitment fair values during the current quarter compared to the linked quarter.

The decrease in other income was primarily due to an $818,000 gain on sale of bank property recognized in the linked quarter with no comparable amount recognized in the current quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was $62.5 million, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 2.9% from the linked quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease of $1.6 million and in other noninterest expense.

The decrease in other expenses resulted from recognizing contingent liabilities totaling approximately $1.2 million related to certain questioned activity involving a single banker, who has since been terminated, in our East Texas market, as described previously, in the linked quarter with no comparable liability incurred in the current quarter. Also, contributing to the quarter over quarter decline was a $357,000 decrease in corporate membership fees.

Financial Condition

Loans

Total LHFI were $7.96 billion at both September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, and reflected an increase of $388.7 million, or 5.1%, compared to September 30, 2023.
Total LHFI, excluding MW LOC, were $7.46 billion at September 30, 2024, representing an increase of $8.9 million, or 0.1%, from June 30, 2024, and an increase of $179.8 million, or 2.5%, from September 30, 2023.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to the linked quarter, we experienced declines in construction/land/land development loans and MW LOC of $25.8 million and $11.3 million, respectively, partially offset by growth in multi-family real estate loans of $36.1 million.

Securities

Total securities were $1.18 billion at both September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, and reflected a decrease of $129.8 million, or 9.9%, compared to September 30, 2023.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, primarily associated with the available for sale (“AFS”) portfolio, was $94.2 million at September 30, 2024, an improvement of $32.9 million, or 25.9%, from the linked quarter.
The weighted average effective duration for the total securities portfolio was 4.21 years as of September 30, 2024, compared to 4.28 years as of June 30, 2024.

Deposits

Total deposits at September 30, 2024, were $8.49 billion, a decrease of $24.3 million, or 0.3%, compared to the linked quarter, and represented an increase of $112.1 million, or 1.3%, from September 30, 2023. The decrease in the current quarter compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to a decrease of $205.2 million in brokered (which includes both brokered time and brokered interest-bearing demand) deposits. The decrease in brokered deposits was primarily replaced with customer deposits.
Excluding brokered deposits, total deposit increased $180.9 million, or 2.3%, to $8.05 billion, primarily due to increases of $87.0 million, $64.4 million and $27.1 million in money market deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits and noninterest-bearing demand deposits, respectively.
At September 30, 2024, noninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total deposits were 22.3%, compared to 21.9% and 24.0% at June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively. Excluding brokered deposits, noninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total deposits were 23.5%, compared to 23.7% and 26.1% at June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively.

Borrowings

FHLB advances and other borrowings at September 30, 2024, were $30.4 million, a decrease of $10.3 million, or 25.3%, compared to the linked quarter and represented an increase of $18.2 million, or 149.3%, from September 30, 2023.

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ equity was $1.15 billion at September 30, 2024, an increase of $49.8 million, or 4.5%, compared to $1.10 billion at June 30, 2024, and an increase of $146.7 million, or 14.7%, compared to September 30, 2023.
The increase in stockholders’ equity from the linked quarter is primarily due to a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $32.9 million and net income of $18.6 million, partially offset by dividends declared of $4.8 million during the current quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Origin reports its results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain supplemental non-GAAP financial measures may provide meaningful information to investors that is useful in understanding Origin’s results of operations and underlying trends in its business. However, non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, Origin’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following are the non-GAAP measures used in this release: PTPP earnings, adjusted NIM-FTE, PTPP ROAA, tangible book value per common share, adjusted tangible book value per common share, tangible common equity to tangible assets, ROATCE, and core efficiency ratio.

Please see the last few pages of this release for reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include information regarding Origin’s future financial performance, business and growth strategies, projected plans and objectives, and any expected purchases of its outstanding common stock, and related transactions and other projections based on macroeconomic and industry trends, including changes to interest rates by the Federal Reserve and the resulting impact on Origin’s results of operations, estimated forbearance amounts and expectations regarding the Company’s liquidity, including in connection with advances obtained from the FHLB, which are all subject to change and may be inherently unreliable due to the multiple factors that impact broader economic and industry trends, and any such changes may be material. Such forward-looking statements are based on various facts and derived utilizing important assumptions and current expectations, estimates and projections about Origin and its subsidiaries, any of which may change over time and some of which may be beyond Origin’s control. Statements or statistics preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “assumes,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “foresees,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “could,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “will,” and “would” and variations of such terms are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts, although not all forward-looking statements include the foregoing words. Further, certain factors that could affect Origin’s future results and cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the impact of current and future economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, nationally and within Origin’s primary market areas, including the effects of declines in the real estate market, high-profile bank failures, high unemployment rates, inflationary pressures, elevated interest rates and slowdowns in economic growth, as well as the financial stress on borrowers and changes to customer and client behavior as a result of the foregoing; changes in benchmark interest rates and the resulting impacts on net interest income; deterioration of Origin’s asset quality; factors that can impact the performance of Origin’s loan portfolio, including real estate values and liquidity in Origin’s primary market areas; the financial health of Origin’s commercial borrowers and the success of construction projects that Origin finances; changes in the value of collateral securing Origin’s loans; developments in our mortgage banking business, including loan modifications, general demand, and the effects of judicial or regulatory requirements or guidance; Origin’s ability to anticipate interest rate changes and manage interest rate risk (including the impact of higher interest rates on macroeconomic conditions, competition, and the cost of doing business and the impact of prolonged elevated interest rates on our financial projections, models and guidance); the effectiveness of Origin’s risk management framework and quantitative models; Origin’s inability to receive dividends from Origin Bank and to service debt, pay dividends to Origin’s common stockholders, repurchase Origin’s shares of common stock and satisfy obligations as they become due; the impact of labor pressures; changes in Origin’s operation or expansion strategy or Origin’s ability to prudently manage its growth and execute its strategy; changes in management personnel; Origin’s ability to maintain important customer relationships, reputation or otherwise avoid liquidity risks; increasing costs as Origin grows deposits; operational risks associated with Origin’s business; significant turbulence or a disruption in the capital or financial markets and the effect of market disruption and interest rate volatility on our investment securities; increased competition in the financial services industry, particularly from regional and national institutions, as well as from fintech companies; difficult market conditions and unfavorable economic trends in the United States generally, and particularly in the market areas in which Origin operates and in which its loans are concentrated; Origin’s level of nonperforming assets and the costs associated with resolving any problem loans including litigation and other costs; the credit risk associated with the substantial amount of commercial real estate, construction and land development, and commercial loans in Origin’s loan portfolio; changes in laws, rules, regulations, interpretations or policies relating to financial institutions, and potential expenses associated with complying with such regulations; periodic changes to the extensive body of accounting rules and best practices; further government intervention in the U.S. financial system; a deterioration of the credit rating for U.S. long-term sovereign debt or actions that the U.S. government may take to avoid exceeding the debt ceiling; a potential U.S. federal government shutdown and the resulting impacts; compliance with governmental and regulatory requirements, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and others relating to banking, consumer protection, securities, and tax matters; Origin’s ability to comply with applicable capital and liquidity requirements, including its ability to generate liquidity internally or raise capital on favorable terms, including continued access to the debt and equity capital markets; changes in the utility of Origin’s non-GAAP liquidity measurements and its underlying assumptions or estimates; possible changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies, laws and regulations and other activities of governments, agencies and similar organizations; natural disasters and adverse weather events, acts of terrorism, an outbreak of hostilities (including the impacts related to or resulting from Russia’s military action in Ukraine or the conflict in Israel and surrounding areas, including the imposition of additional sanctions and export controls, as well as the broader impacts to financial markets and the global macroeconomic and geopolitical environments), regional or national protests and civil unrest (including any resulting branch closures or property damage), widespread illness or public health outbreaks or other international or domestic calamities, and other matters beyond Origin’s control; the impact of generative artificial intelligence; fraud or misconduct by internal or external actors (including Origin employees) which Origin may not be able to prevent, detect or mitigate, system failures, cybersecurity threats or security breaches and the cost of defending against them; Origin’s ability to maintain adequate internal controls over financial and non-financial reporting; and potential claims, damages, penalties, fines, costs and reputational damage resulting from pending or future litigation, regulatory proceedings and enforcement actions. For a discussion of these and other risks that may cause actual results to differ from expectations, please refer to the sections titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in Origin’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and any updates to those sections set forth in Origin’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if Origin’s underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what Origin anticipates. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and Origin does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is not possible for Origin to predict those events or how they may affect Origin. In addition, Origin cannot assess the impact of each factor on Origin’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this communication are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that Origin or persons acting on Origin’s behalf may issue. Annualized, pro forma, adjusted, projected, and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purposes only, are not forecasts, and may not reflect actual results.

⁽¹⁾	Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming/nonaccrual loans and property acquired through foreclosures or repossession, as well as bank-owned property not in use and listed for sale.
⁽²⁾	Includes multi-family real estate.
⁽³⁾	Past due LHFI are defined as loans 30 days or more past due.
⁽⁴⁾	The ALCL to total LHFI, adjusted is calculated by excluding the ALCL for MW LOC loans from the total LHFI ALCL in the numerator and excluding the MW LOC loans from the LHFI in the denominator. Due to their low-risk profile, MW LOC loans require a disproportionately low allocation of the ALCL.

MIL-OSI: TowneBank Reports Third Quarter 2024 Earnings

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

SUFFOLK, Va., Oct. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TowneBank (the “Company” or “Towne”) (NASDAQ: TOWN) today reported earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 of $42.95 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, compared to $44.86 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Excluding certain items affecting comparability, core earnings (non-GAAP) were $43.39 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, in the current quarter compared to $44.88 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

“Our third quarter results continued to deliver increased net interest income and noninterest income contributions from our diverse business model which were in line with expectations. We remain committed to prudent balance sheet management strategies. We were also excited to announce our partnership with Village Bank which will meaningfully enhance our Richmond presence, which is core to our franchise future growth. Lastly, the recently released FDIC Deposit Market Share Report for 2024 continues to demonstrate the strength of our Main Street banking model and core deposit franchise, resulting in the #1 market share, or 30%, in our legacy Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, VA-NC MSA,” said G. Robert Aston, Jr., Executive Chairman.

Highlights for Third Quarter 2024:

Total revenues were $174.52 million, an increase of $1.65 million, or 0.96%, compared to third quarter 2023. Noninterest income increased $2.43 million, driven by growth in residential mortgage banking income and insurance commissions. Partially offsetting the increase in noninterest income was a $0.78 million decline in net interest income.
Total deposits were $14.36 billion, an increase of $482.37 million, or 3.48%, compared to third quarter 2023. Total deposits increased 0.63%, or $90.58 million, in comparison to June 30, 2024, 2.52% on an annualized basis.
Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased 3.99%, to $4.27 billion, compared to third quarter 2023 and represented 29.71% of total deposits. Compared to the linked quarter, noninterest-bearing deposits decreased 0.84%.
Loans held for investment were $11.41 billion, an increase of $239.55 million, or 2.14%, compared to September 30, 2023, but a decrease of $39.23 million, or 0.34%, compared to June 30, 2024.
Annualized return on common shareholders’ equity was 8.18% compared to 9.04% in third quarter 2023. Annualized return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity (non-GAAP) was 11.54% compared to 13.11% in third quarter 2023.
Net interest margin was 2.90% for the quarter and tax-equivalent net interest margin (non-GAAP) was 2.93%, including purchase accounting accretion of 3 basis points, compared to the prior year quarter net interest margin of 2.95% and tax-equivalent net interest margin (non-GAAP) of 2.98%, including purchase accounting accretion of 5 basis points.
Compared to the linked quarter, net interest margin increased 4 bp and spread increased 6 bp.
The effective tax rate was 11.52% in the quarter compared to 17.34% in third quarter 2023 and 15.93% in the linked quarter. The lower effective tax rate in the current quarter was primarily due to the impact on state and federal taxes from the increase in credits and losses related to LIHTC investment properties placed in service during the period.

“Growth has certainly been challenging in the current environment but we believe our balance sheet is well positioned to support mid-single digit growth rates as we look ahead to next year. We plan to aggressively expand Towne Insurance and evaluate other opportunities to enhance our fee-based lines of business to further drive our differentiated business model,” stated William I. Foster III, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Quarterly Net Interest Income:

Net interest income was $112.28 million compared to $113.06 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was driven by increased deposit costs, which were mostly offset by higher yields on earning assets.
On an average basis, loans held for investment, with a yield of 5.46%, represented 74.16% of earning assets at September 30, 2024 compared to a yield of 5.13% and 73.45% of earning assets in the third quarter of 2023.
The cost of interest-bearing deposits was 3.28% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to 2.77% in second quarter 2023. Interest expense on deposits increased $17.96 million, or 27.98%, over the prior year quarter driven by the increase in rate and growth in interest-bearing deposits.
Our total cost of deposits increased to 2.29% from 1.84% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 due to a combination of higher interest-bearing deposit balances coupled with higher rates. The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee lowered the overnight funds rate late in the third quarter. Management is expecting the decrease to have favorable impact on deposit costs in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Average interest-earning assets totaled $15.40 billion at September 30, 2024 compared to $15.21 billion at September 30, 2023, an increase of 1.26%. The Company anticipates approximately $604 million of cash flows from its securities portfolio to be available for reinvestment in the next twenty-four months.
Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $10.25 billion, an increase of $493.95 million, or 5.06%, from prior year, driven by deposit growth. Borrowings have declined between periods. There were no short term FHLB borrowings in the third quarter of 2024, compared to an average of $248.91 million in the prior year quarter.

Quarterly Provision for Credit Losses:

The quarterly provision for credit losses was a benefit of $1.10 million compared to an expense of $1.01 million in the prior year quarter and a benefit of $177 thousand in the linked quarter.
The allowance for credit losses on loans decreased $2.36 million in third quarter 2024, compared to the linked quarter. The decrease in the allowance was driven by a modest decline in the loan portfolio, primarily in higher-risk real estate construction and development loans, combined with continued strength in credit quality, and improvements in macroeconomic forecast scenarios utilized in our model.
Net loan charge-offs were $0.68 million in the quarter compared to net recoveries of $1.07 million in the prior year quarter and $19 thousand in the linked quarter. Year-to-date 2024, net loan charge-offs were $1.18 million compared to net loan charge-offs of $2.81 million in first nine months of 2023.
The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans on an annualized basis was 0.02% in third quarter 2024, compared to (0.04)% in third quarter 2023 and 0.00% in the linked quarter.
The allowance for credit losses on loans represented 1.08% of total loans at September 30, 2024, compared to 1.12% at September 30, 2023, and 1.10% at June 30, 2024. The allowance for credit losses on loans was 18.70 times nonperforming loans compared to 17.60 times at September 30, 2023 and 19.08 times at June 30, 2024.

Quarterly Noninterest Income:

Total noninterest income was $62.24 million compared to $59.81 million in 2023, an increase of $2.43 million, or 4.06%.
Residential mortgage banking income was $11.79 million compared to $10.65 million in third quarter 2023. Loan volume increased to $598.18 million in third quarter 2024 from $520.41 million in third quarter 2023. Both, the number of loans originated and the per-loan average balance increased in third quarter 2024 compared to third quarter 2023. Refinance activities increased in the quarter after more than a year of low activity. Residential purchase activity was 91.49% of production volume in the third quarter of 2024 compared to 95.96% in third quarter 2023. Management expects mortgage production volumes to be positively impacted by any additional reductions in the Federal Reserve overnight rate.
While level with the linked quarter at 3.28%, gross margins on residential mortgage sales increased 11 basis points from 3.17% in third quarter 2023.
Total net insurance commissions increased $1.95 million, or 8.20%, to $25.73 million in third quarter 2024 compared to 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in property and casualty commissions, which were driven by organic growth.
Property management fee revenue decreased 12.34%, or $1.58 million, to $11.22 million in third quarter 2024 compared to 2023. Reservation levels declined compared to the prior year.

Quarterly Noninterest Expense:

Total noninterest expense was $126.90 million compared to $117.70 million in 2023, an increase of $9.20 million, or 7.81%. This increase was primarily attributable to growth in salaries and employee benefits of $4.87 million, professional fees of $1.95 million, software of $0.66 million, data processing of $0.56 million, and advertising and marketing of $0.51 million.
Salaries and benefits expense increases were driven by an increase in banking personnel and production incentives.
Investment in technology related to banking services and information monitoring continued to drive both direct and indirect costs. Professional fees increased due to consulting and outside services. Software costs increased due to higher core system costs, while data processing increased due to higher processing costs and merchant fee increases.
Advertising and marketing increased, driven by business development.

Consolidated Balance Sheet Highlights:

Management is focused on strategic balance sheet management with a concentration on controlled loan growth and maintaining strong levels of liquidity.
Total assets were $17.19 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, a $119.18 million increase compared to $17.07 billion at June 30, 2024. Total assets increased $507.66 million, or 3.04%, from $16.68 billion at September 30, 2023.
Loans held for investment declined $39.23 million, or 0.34%, compared to the linked quarter but increased $239.55 million, or 2.14%, compared to prior year. There were declines in several loan categories from the linked quarter, with the most significant decline in the real estate construction and development category. The Company continued to maintain strong credit discipline throughout the period.
Mortgage loans held for sale increased $76.27 million, or 40.56%, compared to prior year and $63.56 million, or 31.66%, compared to the linked quarter, driven by the increase in production.
Total deposits increased $482.37 million, or 3.48%, primarily in interest-bearing demand and time deposits, compared to prior year. In the linked quarter comparison, total deposits increased $90.58 million, or 2.52% on an annualized basis.

Loan and lease originations totaled $1.76 billion during the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $586.7 million, or 50.1%, from the second quarter of 2024. Loan and lease originations increased $684.6 million, or 63.8%, from the third quarter of 2023.

Deposits

Total deposits increased to $11.40 billion at September 30, 2024, an increase of $693.5 million compared to June 30, 2024, and an increase of $1.40 billion compared to September 30, 2023. The increase in total deposits from prior periods was to support growth in the loan and lease portfolio as well as the Company’s targeted liquidity levels.

Average total interest-bearing deposits for the third quarter of 2024 increased $287.5 million, or 2.8%, to $10.56 billion, compared to $10.27 billion for the second quarter of 2024. The ratio of average total loans and leases to average interest-bearing deposits was 92.5% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 91.4% for the second quarter of 2024.

Borrowings

Borrowings totaled $115.4 million at September 30, 2024 compared to $117.7 million and $25.8 million at June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company increased long-term borrowings by $100.0 million through an unsecured 5.95% fixed rate 60-month term loan with a third party correspondent bank. This increase in borrowings was to strategically enhance capital levels in order to accommodate future growth expectations.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2024 was $97.0 million compared to $91.3 million for the second quarter of 2024 and $89.4 million for the third quarter of 2023. The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2024 and second quarter of 2024 was 3.33% and 3.28%, respectively, an increase of five basis points quarter over quarter. During the third quarter of 2024, the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by two basis points, while the average yield on interest-earning assets increased by six basis points.

The increase in net interest income for the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023 was largely driven by growth in average loans and leases held for investment. Partially mitigating this increase was a decrease in the net interest margin by four basis points arising from an increase in deposits and borrowings, combined with the increase in average cost of funds, outpacing the increase in average yield on interest-earning assets.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2024 was $32.9 million, a decrease of $1.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2024, and a decrease of $5.0 million compared to the third quarter of 2023. The primary drivers in noninterest income changes are outlined below.

The loan servicing asset revaluation resulted in a loss of $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to a $11.3 million gain for the third quarter of 2023. This decrease between periods was principally due to the third quarter of 2023 change in valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of servicing rights which resulted in a nonrecurring gain of $13.7 million during that period.

Net gains on sales of loans was $16.6 million, a $2.3 million increase compared to the second quarter of 2024 and a $4.0 million increase compared to the third quarter of 2023. The increase in net gains on sales of loans for both compared periods was the result of higher levels of market premiums combined with increased loan sale volumes. The average guaranteed loan sale premium was 107%, 106% and 105% for the third and second quarters of 2024 and third quarter of 2023, respectively. The volume of guaranteed loans sold was $266.3 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $250.5 million sold in the second quarter of 2024 and $225.6 million sold in the third quarter of 2023.

Loans accounted for under the fair value option had a net gain of $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to a net gain of $172 thousand for the second quarter of 2024 and a net loss of $568 thousand for the third quarter of 2023. The increased levels of net gains arising from the valuation of loans accounted for under the fair value option compared to the second quarter of 2024 was largely associated with lower market interest rates. The increase in net gains when compared to the third quarter of 2023 was principally due to the third quarter of 2023 change in valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of loans measured at fair value, which resulted in a nonrecurring gain of $1.3 million during that period.

Management fee income decreased by $2.2 million, as compared to both the second quarter of 2024 and third quarter of 2023. This decrease was the result of a restructuring of the Canapi Funds in the third quarter of 2024. In connection with that restructuring, the Company’s subsidiary Canapi Advisors voluntarily withdrew as an advisor to the funds. The Company remains an investor in the Canapi Funds and continues its focus on new and emerging financial technology companies.

Other noninterest income for the third quarter of 2024 totaled $7.1 million compared to $11.0 million for the second quarter of 2024 and $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2023. The quarter over quarter decrease of $3.9 million was largely related to a $6.7 million gain arising from the sale of one of the Company’s aircraft in the second quarter of 2024, partially offset by a $2.4 million gain from the sale of a building in the third quarter of 2024. The $3.6 million increase compared to the third quarter of 2023 was largely related to the above mentioned $2.4 million gain from the sale of an idle building and accompanying land that was determined earlier in 2024 not to be best suited to serve the Company’s future expansion plans.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2024 totaled $77.6 million compared to $77.7 million for the second quarter of 2024 and $74.3 million for the third quarter of 2023. Compared to the third quarter of 2023, the increase in noninterest expense was principally impacted by smaller balance increases in various expense categories, partially offset by $2.2 million in decreased levels of FDIC insurance expense. The decrease in FDIC insurance expense was the product of favorable changes in the Company’s FDIC assessment rates.

Asset Quality

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company recognized net charge-offs for loans carried at historical cost of $1.7 million, compared to $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $9.1 million in the third quarter of 2023. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average held for investment loans and leases carried at historical cost, annualized, for the quarters ended September 30, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, was 0.08%, 0.38% and 0.48%, respectively.

Unguaranteed nonperforming (nonaccrual) loans and leases, excluding $8.7 million and $9.6 million accounted for under the fair value option at September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, respectively, increased to $49.4 million, or 0.52% of loans and leases held for investment which are carried at historical cost, at September 30, 2024, compared to $37.3 million, or 0.42%, at June 30, 2024.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2024 totaled $34.5 million compared to $11.8 million for the second quarter of 2024 and $10.3 million for the third quarter of 2023. The level of provision expense in the third quarter of 2024 was primarily the result of specific reserve increases on individually evaluated loans and continued growth of the loan and lease portfolio. Provision expense for three individually evaluated loan relationships amounted to $13.6 million, or 60.0% and 56.3% of the increase in the total provision for loan and lease losses when compared to the second quarter of 2024 and third quarter of 2023, respectively.

The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases totaled $168.7 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $137.9 million at June 30, 2024. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases as a percentage of total loans and leases held for investment carried at historical cost was 1.78% and 1.57% at September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, respectively.

Income Tax

Income tax expense and related effective tax rate was $4.8 million and 27.0% for the third quarter of 2024, $9.1 million and 25.2% for the second quarter of 2024 and $3.0 million and 6.9% for the third quarter of 2023, respectively. The lower level of income tax expense for the third quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2024 was primarily the result of the decreased level of pretax income. The higher level of income tax expense for the third quarter of 2024 as compared to the third quarter of 2023 was primarily the result of lower levels of anticipated investment tax credits in 2024 as compared to the prior year.

This press release presents non-GAAP financial measures. The adjustments to reconcile from the non-GAAP financial measures to the applicable GAAP financial measure are included where applicable in financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company considers these adjustments to be relevant to ongoing operating results. The Company believes that excluding the amounts associated with these adjustments to present the non-GAAP financial measures provides a meaningful base for period-to-period comparisons, which will assist regulators, investors, and analysts in analyzing the operating results or financial position of the Company. The non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to assess the performance of the Company’s business, for presentations of Company performance to investors, and for other reasons as may be requested by investors and analysts. The Company further believes that presenting the non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors and analysts to assess the performance of the Company on the same basis as that applied by management. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by shareholders to evaluate a company, they have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP.

Total loans of $3.09 billion at September 30, 2024 grew $89.5 million, or 11.9%, annualized, from the linked quarter ended June 30, 2024. Loan growth occurred late in the quarter, which is reflected in average loan balance increase of only $12.2 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The growth was primarily driven by $56.9 million expansion within the Commercial and Industrial and Owner-occupied commercial real estate loan categories.
Total deposits of $3.05 billion at September 30, 2024 grew $82.4 million, or 11.1%, annualized, from the linked quarter. Growth occurred across all deposit categories, as non-interest bearing demand, interest bearing demand, money market and savings, and time deposits increased $19.3 million, $23.3 million, $36.3 million, and $3.6 million, respectively, from the second quarter of 2024.
Tangible book value per share^[ii] grew to $13.84 at September 30, 2024, increasing 11.2%, annualized, from $13.46 at June 30, 2024.
The Bank continued to prioritize balance sheet efficiency, selling approximately $11.7 million of investment securities during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 which resulted in a $555,000 net loss on the sale of investments during the quarter. The Bank also completed a restructuring of its bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) portfolio during the quarter which resulted in approximately $24 million in terminated policies and the acquisition of approximately $20 million in new policies. As a result of the restructure, the Bank recorded a $1.1 million enhancement to the cash surrender value and recognized additional income tax expense totaling $1.2 million.
Strong asset quality continued, with nonperforming assets decreasing by 9 basis points to 0.47% of total assets at September 30, 2024 from 0.56% at June 30, 2024.

Patrick L. Ryan, President and CEO of First Bank, reflected on the Bank’s performance, stating, “First Bank’s outstanding third quarter growth is an outcome of a well-executed long-term strategy. We have worked to build teams, products, and operating structures that promote quality growth over the long term, and the results are evident. Our teams added high-quality loans and deposits across all categories. We also continued to optimize the Bank’s efficiency as our efficiency ratio^[iii] remained below 60% for the 21st consecutive quarter. We continued to enact strategies to enhance future profitability and complement our organic growth efforts including ongoing balance sheet restructuring through the sale of certain lower-yielding investment securities, and we opportunistically restructured our BOLI policies during the quarter, an initiative that will be accretive to future earnings. The current quarter highlighted our efforts to build our core community banking customer base while we expand our specialty banking teams and continued investment in technology to improve the customer experience.”

Mr. Ryan added, “We are pleased with our ability to generate solid returns for our shareholders, including this quarter’s 11% annualized growth in tangible book value per share. We continue to explore a variety of opportunities to drive future earnings. Our recent receipt of regulatory approval to initiate stock repurchases also adds to our toolkit of options to support continued and growing returns for our shareholders.”

Income Statement

In the third quarter of 2024, the Bank’s net interest income increased to $30.1 million, growing $1.5 million, or 5.2%, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to net interest margin expansion in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023. Net interest income decreased $446,000, or 1.5%, from the linked second quarter of 2024. The modest decrease was primarily due to net interest margin compression and the timing of our loan growth, which occurred late in the third quarter, limiting interest income received during the quarter. During the third quarter, a $606,000 increase in interest income compared to the second quarter of 2024 was primarily related to higher earning asset balances, which was offset by a $1.1 million increase in interest expense, resulting from increased deposit costs and a higher level of average borrowings.

The Bank’s tax equivalent net interest margin of 3.49% for the third quarter of 2024 represented an increase of 13 basis points from the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and a decrease of 13 basis points from the linked quarter ended June 30, 2024. The Bank’s tax equivalent net interest margin includes the impact of amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts from fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts from fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions totaled $3.4 million during the third quarter of 2024, compared to $2.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and $3.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The Bank’s net interest margin declined compared to the linked second quarter due to lower acquisition accounting accretion income, increased levels of average borrowings, lower average loan yields, and higher interest bearing deposit costs.

The Bank recorded a credit loss expense totaling $1.6 million during the third quarter of 2024, compared to $63,000 recorded during the second quarter of 2024 and $6.7 million recorded for the third quarter of 2023. The Bank’s credit loss expense for the third quarter of 2024 was commensurate with robust organic loan growth during the quarter and continued to reflect strong and stable asset quality. Credit loss expense for the third quarter of 2023 included a $5.5 million credit loss recorded to establish the allowance for credit losses on the acquired Malvern loan portfolio.

In the third quarter of 2024, the Bank recorded non-interest income of $2.5 million, compared to $193,000 during the same period in 2023 and $689,000 in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in non-interest income was primarily related to approximately $1.1 million in one-time enhancement to the cash surrender value of BOLI that resulted from the aforementioned BOLI restructuring transaction during the quarter, as well as higher yields earned on the new BOLI policies purchased during the quarter. Additionally, the Bank recorded $135,000 in net gains on the sale of loans during third quarter 2024, compared to net losses on the sale of loans totaling $900,000 and $704,000 in the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. This was partially offset by $555,000 in net losses on the sale of investment securities during third quarter 2024, while no investment securities sales were executed in the linked quarter, and $527,000 in net losses were recognized during the third quarter of 2023.

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2024 was $18.6 million, a decrease of $4.8 million, or 20.6%, compared to $23.4 million for the prior year quarter. Lower non-interest expense was largely due to $7.0 million in merger-related expenses recorded during the third quarter of 2023. Excluding merger-related expenses, non-interest expense grew $2.2 million, or 13.3%, including an increase of $849,000 in salaries and employee benefits due to merit increases and a larger employee base. Other real estate owned (OREO) expense totaled $662,000 during third quarter 2024, with no similar expense recorded in third quarter 2023. The increase reflects a $363,000 impairment of an OREO asset along with other legal and real estate tax expenses recorded during the quarter. Additionally, other professional fees increased $312,000 primarily related to increases in personnel placement costs, consulting fees, and tax services.

On a linked quarter basis, non-interest expense increased $691,000, or 3.8%, from $18.0 million for the second quarter of 2024. The largest impact on expenses compared to the linked quarter is the aforementioned $363,000 OREO impairment expense during third quarter 2024. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $207,000 primarily due to a larger employee base. These were partially offset by modest decreases in marketing and advertising costs, as well as travel and entertainment expenses.

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $4.2 million with an effective tax rate of 33.9%, compared to an income tax benefit of $78,000 for the third quarter of 2023 and an income tax expense of $2.1 million with an effective tax rate of 16.2% for the second quarter of 2024. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 included approximately $1.2 million of tax expense recorded related to the BOLI restructuring. Excluding this impact, the effective tax rate would have been approximately 24% for the third quarter of 2024. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was lower compared to the first quarter due to the recently enacted New Jersey Corporate Transit Fee, which resulted in a change in tax rate and a revaluation of the Bank’s deferred tax assets. A tax benefit of $1.1 million was booked as a discrete item in the second quarter for this change in tax rate. With the expected negative ongoing impact of the New Jersey Corporate Transit Fee, we anticipate our future effective tax rate will range between 24% and 25%.

Balance Sheet

Total assets increased $148.3 million, or 4.1%, from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024. Total loans increased $66.0 million, or 2.2%, from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024. Growth totaling $116.3 million across the owner-occupied commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loan portfolios was partially offset by a decline of commercial investor real estate loans totaling $47.8 million, including multi-family and construction and development, during the first nine months of 2024. The Bank continues to prioritize relationship-based commercial and industrial lending while actively managing our exposure in investor real estate lending.

Total assets grew $141.9 million, or 15.6% annualized, during the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Growth included an increase of $71.5 million in cash and cash equivalents related to the opportunistic addition of FHLB advances when interest rates declined during the quarter. Total loans increased by $89.5 million, or 11.9%, annualized, during the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Growth across the owner-occupied commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loan portfolios totaled $56.9 million, while commercial investor real estate loans, including multi-family and construction and development, grew $27.5 million, and consumer and residential real estate loans grew $5.2 million.

Total deposits increased by $82.4 million, or 11.1% annualized, during the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Growth occurred across all categories, with non-interest bearing demand, interest bearing demand, money market and savings, and time deposits increasing $19.3 million, $23.3 million, $36.3 million, and $3.6 million, respectively, from the second quarter of 2024. Our team continued to focus on attracting new deposit relationships while maintaining existing core balances.

Nearly all of the Bank’s deposit growth for the first nine months of 2024 occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024. We also experienced a slight shift in the mix of customer balances over the nine-month period. The Bank grew non-interest bearing demand deposits by $17.3 million in a challenging interest rate environment, while total interest-bearing deposits experienced a shift toward higher-costing deposits. During the first nine months of 2024, increases in money market and savings deposits and time deposits totaled $64.2 million and $32.3 million, respectively, partially offset by a decline in interest bearing demand deposits totaling $31.3 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, stockholders’ equity increased by $31.2 million, primarily due to net income, partially offset by dividends.

As of September 30, 2024, the Bank continued to exceed all regulatory capital requirements to be considered well-capitalized, with a Tier 1 Leverage ratio of 9.53%, a Tier 1 Risk-Based capital ratio of 9.65%, a Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio of 9.65%, and a Total Risk-Based capital ratio of 11.55%. The tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets ratio^[IV] increased to 9.41% as of September 30, 2024 compared to 8.89% at December 31, 2023.

Asset Quality

First Bank’s asset quality metrics for the third quarter of 2024 remained favorable. Total nonperforming loans declined from $25.0 million at December 31, 2023 to $12.0 million at September 30, 2024, while total nonperforming assets declined from $25.0 million to $17.7 million during the same period.

The Bank recorded net charge-offs of $386,000 during the third quarter of 2024, compared to net charge-offs of $175,000 during the second quarter of 2024 and net charge-offs of $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2023. The allowance for credit losses on loans as a percentage of total loans measured 1.21% at September 30, 2024, compared to 1.21% at June 30, 2024 and 1.40% at December 31, 2023. The decline from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024 reflected the $5.5 million charge-off and elimination of the Bank’s reserves on a purchase credit deteriorated loan transferred to OREO during the first quarter of 2024.

Liquidity and Borrowings

The Bank increased its liquidity position in the third quarter of 2024. Total cash and cash equivalents increased by $71.5 million to $312.3 million at September 30, 2024. Borrowings increased by $49.9 million compared to June 30, 2024, as the Bank increased its FHLB borrowings.

Management believes the Bank’s current liquidity position, coupled with our various contingent funding sources, provides us with a strong liquidity base and a diverse source of funding options.

Cash Dividend Declared

On October 15, 2024, the Bank’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share to common stockholders of record at the close of business on November 8, 2024, payable on November 22, 2024.

Share Repurchase Program

The Board of Directors has authorized and the Bank has received regulatory approvals for a new share repurchase program. The program provides for the repurchase of up to 1.0 million shares of First Bank common stock for an aggregate repurchase amount of up to $16.0 million. The timing, price and volume of repurchases will be based on market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors. The stock repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchase program does not require First Bank to repurchase any specific number of shares, and First Bank may terminate the repurchase program at any time. The share repurchase program will expire on September 30, 2025.

MIL-OSI: Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

DUNKIRK, N.Y., Oct. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lake Shore Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LSBK), the holding company for Lake Shore Savings Bank (the “Bank”), reported unaudited net income of $1.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2024 compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024, and $1.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2023. The increase in net income during the third quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in net interest income and a reduction in non-interest expenses when compared to the previous quarter. For the first nine months of 2024, the Company reported unaudited net income of $3.5 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, as compared to $4.1 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2023. During the first nine months of 2024, the Company repaid Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) borrowings of $25.0 million and did not renew $16.0 million of brokered certificates of deposit (“CDs”) while growing organic deposits by 2.2%.

“I am pleased to report a solid quarter of financial results, marked by quarterly earnings growth and an uptick in the net interest margin for the first time in well over a year,” stated Kim C. Liddell, President, CEO, and Director. “These earnings reflect the Company’s ongoing focus on managing its financial performance amid challenging market conditions.”

Third Quarter 2024 and Year-to-Date Financial Highlights:

Net income increased to $1.3 million during the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $216,000, or 19.4%, when compared to the second quarter of 2024. Net income was positively impacted by an increase in net interest income of $177,000, or 3.4%, and a decrease in non-interest expenses of $84,000, or 1.7%;
Net interest margin increased to 3.28% during the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 14 basis points when compared to a net interest margin of 3.14% during the second quarter of 2024;
Efficiency ratio improved to 77.96% for the third quarter of 2024 when compared to 82.39% for the second quarter of 2024;
Did not renew $16.0 million of brokered CDs and $25.0 million of FHLBNY borrowings through organic deposit growth of 2.2% during the first nine months of 2024;
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s percentage of uninsured deposits to total deposits was 13.4% and 12.8%, respectively; and
The Bank’s capital position remains “well capitalized” with a Tier 1 Leverage ratio of 13.37% and a Total Risk-Based capital ratio of 18.85% at September 30, 2024.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2024 increased $177,000, or 3.4%, to $5.4 million as compared to $5.2 million for the second quarter of 2024 and decreased $912,000, or 14.5%, as compared to $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2023. Net interest margin and interest rate spread were 3.28% and 2.67%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2024 as compared to 3.14% and 2.56%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2024 and 3.74% and 3.32%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2023.

Net interest income for the first nine months of 2024 decreased $3.1 million, or 16.4%, to $15.7 million as compared to $18.8 million for the first nine months of 2023. Net interest margin and interest rate spread were 3.17% and 2.59%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2024 as compared to 3.72% and 3.36%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2023.

Interest income for the third quarter of 2024 was $8.9 million, an increase of $97,000, or 1.1%, compared to $8.8 million for the second quarter of 2024, and an increase of $130,000, or 1.5%, compared to $8.7 million for the third quarter of 2023. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to an 11 basis points increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $6.0 million, or 0.9%. The increase from the prior year quarter was primarily due to a 21 basis points increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $16.7 million, or 2.5%.

Interest income for the first nine months of 2024 was $26.2 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 4.3%, compared to $25.1 million for the first nine months of 2023. The increase was primarily due to a 32 basis point increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $14.0 million, or 2.1%.

Interest expense for the third quarter of 2024 was $3.5 million, a decrease of $80,000, or 2.3%, from the second quarter of 2024, and an increase of $1.0 million, or 43.0%, from $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2023.

The decrease in interest expense when compared to the previous quarter was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $12.0 million, or 2.3%. During the third quarter of 2024, there was a $52,000 decrease in interest expense on total deposit accounts when compared to the second quarter of 2024, due to a decrease in the average balance of total deposit accounts of $7.2 million, or 1.4% and a one basis point decrease in the average interest rate paid on total deposits. Additionally, interest expense on borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $28,000, or 15.8% during the third quarter of 2024 when compared to the second quarter of 2024, due to a decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities of $4.8 million, or 19.1%, as we reduced our FHLB borrowings.

The increase in interest expense when compared to the third quarter of 2023 was primarily due to an 86 basis points increase in the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $10.9 million, or 2.1%. During the third quarter of 2024, there was a $1.2 million increase in interest expense on total deposit accounts when compared to the third quarter of 2023 due to a 97 basis points increase in the average interest rate paid on total deposits along with an increase in average total deposit balances of $5.5 million, or 1.1%. The increase in the average interest rate paid on deposit accounts was primarily due to the increase in market interest rates and deposit competition. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities of $173,000, or 53.7%, in the third quarter of 2024 when compared to the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to a $16.5 million decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities outstanding as we reduced our FHLBNY borrowings, and the average rate paid declined by 58 basis points.

Interest expense for the first nine months of 2024 was $10.5 million, an increase of $4.2 million, or 65.4%, from $6.3 million for the first nine months of 2023. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to a 109 basis points increase in average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $8.0 million, or 1.5%. During the first nine months of 2024, there was a $4.6 million increase in interest expense on total deposit accounts when compared to the first nine months of 2023 due to a 122 basis points increase in the average interest rate paid on total deposits along with an increase in average total deposit balances of $6.3 million, or 1.3%. The increase in the average interest rate paid on deposit accounts was primarily due to the increase in market interest rates and deposit competition. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities of $452,000, or 44.8%, during the first nine months of 2024 when compared to the first nine months of 2023, primarily due to a $14.4 million decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds and other interest-bearing liabilities outstanding along with a 45 basis points decrease in the average interest rate paid on borrowed funds and other interest bearing liabilities as we reduced our FHLBNY borrowings.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $791,000 for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $53,000, or 7.2%, as compared to $738,000 for the second quarter of 2024, and an increase of $186,000, or 30.7%, as compared to $605,000 for the third quarter of 2023. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to a $67,000 increase in earnings on bank-owned life insurance during the third quarter of 2024 as the result of the recognition of a death benefit. The increase from the prior year quarter was primarily due to a $173,000 increase in earnings on bank-owned life insurance in connection with the restructuring of bank-owned life insurance during the fourth quarter of 2023 as well as an increase in service charges and fees of $28,000, or 10.9%.

Non-interest income was $2.2 million for the first nine months of 2024, an increase of $524,000, or 30.6%, as compared to the first nine months of 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $394,000 increase in earnings on bank-owned life insurance in connection with the restructuring of bank-owned life insurance during the fourth quarter of 2023 and the recognition of a death benefit in the third quarter of 2024, a favorable variance of $58,000 related to interest rate swaps during the first nine months of 2024 as a result of unwinding the swaps during 2023, and a $52,000 increase related to the loss on the sale of securities available for sale that occurred during the first nine months of 2023 as part of a balance sheet restructuring.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $84,000, or 1.7%, as compared to $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, and a decrease of $383,000, or 7.4%, as compared to $5.2 million for the third quarter of 2023.

The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily related to a decrease in FDIC insurance expense of $154,000, or 54.2% and a decrease in professional services expense of $36,000, or 9.1%. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefit costs and other expenses.

The decrease from the prior year quarter was primarily related to a decrease in FDIC insurance expense of $165,000, or 55.9%, and a decrease in advertising expense of $146,000, or 93.0%, as a result of a decrease in marketing spending. As a result of management’s efforts to rationalize staffing and optimize operating expenses, salaries and employee benefits decreased by $31,000, or 1.1%.

Non-interest expense was $14.7 million for the first nine months of 2024, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 11.5%, as compared to $16.6 million for the first nine months of 2023. The decrease related primarily to a decline in professional services expense of $1.0 million, or 48.0%, as a result of a decrease in the use of external consultants. Additionally, advertising costs decreased by $435,000, or 84.6%, due to a decrease in marketing spending, and FDIC insurance costs decreased by $133,000, or 16.1%. As a result of management’s efforts to rationalize staffing and optimize operating expenses, salaries and employee benefits decreased by $208,000, or 2.5% and occupancy and equipment expenses decreased by $148,000, or 6.7%. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in data processing costs of $51,000, or 4.0%.

Credit Quality

The Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans was $5.5 million at September 30, 2024 as compared to $6.5 million at December 31, 2023. The Company’s allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $574,000 at September 30, 2024 as compared to $485,000 at December 31, 2023.

Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets increased to 0.57% at September 30, 2024 as compared to 0.47% at December 31, 2023 as a result of a decrease in total assets of $27.5 million and an increase in non-performing assets of $628,000. The Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans as a percent of net loans was 1.01% at September 30, 2024 and 1.16% at December 31, 2023. The decline in the allowance for credit losses to net loans and the corresponding credit to the provision for credit losses recognized was primarily due to a decrease in the quantitative loss factors derived from historical loss rates calculated in the vintage model as well as a decrease in the qualitative loss factor derived from forecasting economic trends.

Balance Sheet Summary

Total assets at September 30, 2024 were $697.6 million, a $27.5 million decrease, or 3.8%, as compared to $725.1 million at December 31, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3.7 million, or 7.0%, from $53.7 million at December 31, 2023 to $50.0 million at September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the repayment of $25.0 million of FHLBNY borrowings and the nonrenewal of $16.0 million of brokered CDs, partially offset by organic deposit growth of $12.6 million, or 2.2%, and loan repayments, net of originations, of $16.8 million, or 3.0%. Securities available for sale were $58.8 million at September 30, 2024 as compared to $60.4 million at December 31, 2023. Loans receivable, net at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $539.0 million and $555.8 million, respectively.

Total deposits at September 30, 2024 were $587.6 million, a decrease of $3.4 million, or 0.6%, due to the nonrenewal of $16.0 million in brokered CDs, compared to $590.9 million at December 31, 2023. Total borrowings decreased to $10.3 million at September 30, 2024, a decrease of $25.0 million, or 70.9% as compared to $35.3 million as of December 31, 2023 as we reduced our FHLBNY borrowings.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $113.6 million for the third quarter of 2024. This represented a $2.8 million, or 2.50%, increase from the second quarter of 2024, and a $9.8 million, or 7.90%, decrease from the third quarter of 2023. The quarter-over-quarter increase in net interest income was primarily due to a $7.0 million increase in interest income resulting from a $513 million average increase in our interest-earning balances due from the Federal Reserve, partially offset by a $3.8 million increase in interest on deposits. The decline in net interest income compared to the third quarter of 2023 was primarily due to a 26 basis point decline in net interest margin.

Net Interest Margin
Our tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.05% for both the second and third quarters of 2024, compared to 3.31% for the third quarter of 2023. Our cost of funds compared to the second quarter of 2024 increased nine basis points, which was offset by a six basis point increase in our interest-earning asset yield. The six basis point increase in our interest-earning asset yield was due to a five basis point increase in loan yields and funds on deposit at the Federal Reserve increasing as a percentage of earnings assets to 8.2%, from 4.8% in the prior quarter. Average funds held at the Federal Reserve of $1.22 billion, grew by $513 million from the second quarter of 2024, earning 5.4% on average for the third quarter. Our cost of funds increased in the third quarter to 1.47%, as our cost of deposits and customer repurchase agreements increased by 14 basis points to 1.01%. The cost of interest-bearing non-maturity deposits increased from the prior quarter by 22 basis points. On average, borrowings decreased by $121 million compared to the second quarter, while continuing to have an average cost of 4.77%. The 26 basis point decrease in net interest margin compared to the third quarter of 2023, was primarily the result of a 55 basis point increase in cost of funds. This increase in cost of funds from the prior year quarter was the result of a 46 basis point increase in the cost of deposits and an increase in the level of borrowings, which grew on average by $411 million. A 25 basis point increase in earning asset yields over the prior year quarter partially offset the increase in funding costs. The higher earning asset yields, included higher loan yields, which grew from 5.07% for the third quarter of 2023 to 5.31% for the third quarter of 2024. The higher earning asset yield was also the result of the increase in average funds held at the Federal Reserve, which grew from 3.1% of earning assets in the third quarter of 2023 to 8.2% in the third quarter of 2024.

Earning Assets and Deposits
On average, total earning assets grew by $262 million, or 1.79%, quarter-over-quarter. This growth includes the $513 million increase in average funds on deposit at the Federal Reserve. Investment securities and loans declined on average by $126.9 million and $126.3 million, respectively, when compared to the second quarter of 2024. The decline in investment securities includes the impact of selling approximately $300 million of AFS securities during the third quarter. Compared to the third quarter of 2023, the mix of assets changed modestly, with the average balance of investment securities decreasing by $462.6 million, declining from 37% to 34% of total earning assets. Conversely, the average amount of funds held at the Federal Reserve increased by $748.8 million, growing from 3.1% of total earning assets in the third quarter of 2023 to 8.2% for the third quarter of 2024. Noninterest-bearing deposits declined on average by $28.4 million, or 0.40%, from the second quarter of 2024 and interest-bearing deposits and customer repurchase agreements increased on average by $279.2 million. Compared to the third quarter of 2023, total deposits and customer repurchase agreements declined on average by $503.7 million, or 3.90%, including a decline of $688 million, or 8.8%, in noninterest-bearing deposits. Non-maturity interest-bearing deposits and customer repurchase agreements decreased by $247.5 million on average, while time deposits grew on average by $431.9 million. On average, noninterest-bearing deposits were 59.10% of total deposits during the most recent quarter, compared to 60.20% for the second quarter of 2024 and 62.09% for the third quarter of 2023.

Provision for Credit Losses
There was no provision for credit losses in the third and second quarter of 2024, compared to $2.0 million in provision in the third quarter of 2023.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $12.8 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared with $14.4 million for the second quarter of 2024 and $14.3 million for the third quarter of 2023. During the third quarter of 2024, the Bank executed sale-leaseback transactions with the sale of two buildings, which operate as Banking Centers, and were simultaneously leased back, resulting in a pre-tax net gain of $9.1 million. The gains on selling the buildings were offset by realizing a pre-tax net loss of $11.6 million on the sale of $312 million of AFS securities. Third quarter income from Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) increased by $557,000 from the second quarter of 2024 and increased by $2 million compared to the third quarter of 2023. We experienced $320,000 in death benefits that exceeded the asset value on certain policies in the third quarter of 2024, compared to no death benefits in the second quarter of 2024 and no death benefits in the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year increase of $2 million in BOLI income was primarily due to the restructuring and enhancements in BOLI policies during the fourth quarter of 2023. Trust and investment service fees grew by 4.0% or $137,000 compared to the prior quarter and by 9.8% or $319,000 compared to the third quarter of 2023.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2024 was $58.8 million, compared to $56.5 million for the second quarter of 2024 and $55.0 million for the third quarter of 2023. The $2.3 million quarter-over-quarter increase included a $1.2 million increase in staff related expense, as annual salary increases took effect in July. The $690,000 quarter-over-quarter increase in regulatory assessments was due to the $700,000 accrual adjustment in the second quarter of 2024 related the FDIC special assessment. There was a $750,000 recapture of provision for unfunded loan commitments in the third quarter of 2024, compared to a $500,000 recapture of provision in the second quarter of 2024 and $900,000 recaptured in the third quarter of 2023. Occupancy and equipment expense grew by $432,000 or 7%, compared to the prior quarter, including the impact of the two buildings that were sold and leased back during the third quarter.

The $3.8 million increase in noninterest expense year-over-year included increased staff related expenses of $1.9 million, or 5.48%. Professional services increased $738,000, including a $627,000 increase in legal expense year-over-year. Occupancy and equipment expense increased by $586,000, or 10.43% and software expense increased $258,000, or 7% year-over-year. As a percentage of average assets, noninterest expense was 1.42% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 1.40% for the second quarter of 2024 and 1.33% for the third quarter of 2023. The efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2024 was 46.53%, compared to 45.10% for the second quarter of 2024 and 39.99% for the third quarter of 2023.

Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 26.25%, compared with 28.20% for the same period of 2023. Our estimated annual effective tax rate can vary depending upon the level of tax-advantaged income from municipal securities and BOLI, as well as available tax credits.

BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS

The Company reported total assets of $15.4 billion at September 30, 2024. This represented a decrease of $748.3 million, or 4.63%, from total assets of $16.15 billion at June 30, 2024.

Total assets at September 30, 2024 decreased by $499.8 million, or 3.14%, from total assets of $15.90 billion at September 30, 2023. The decrease in assets was primarily due to a $491.8 million decrease in investment securities and a $299.0 million decrease in net loans, partially offset by an increase of $188.6 million in interest-earning balances due from the Federal Reserve and a $57.1 million increase in the cash surrender value of BOLI.

Sale-Leaseback Transaction
During the third quarter of 2024, the Bank executed sale-leaseback transactions and sold two buildings, that are utilized as Banking Centers, for an aggregate sale price of $17 million. The Bank simultaneously entered into lease agreements with the respective purchasers for initial terms of 15 and 18 years. These sale-leaseback transactions resulted in a pre-tax net gain of $9.1 million for the third quarter of 2024. The Bank also recorded Right of Use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities each totaling $11.2 million.

Investment Securities and BOLI
Total investment securities were $4.87 billion at September 30, 2024, a decrease of $549.9 million, or 10.14% from December 31, 2023, and a decrease of $491.8 million, or 9.17%, from $5.36 billion at September 30, 2023.

At September 30, 2024, investment securities available-for-sale (“AFS”) totaled $2.47 billion, inclusive of a pre-tax net unrealized loss of $367.7 million. AFS securities decreased by $280.2 million from the prior quarter end, by $490.5 million, or 16.59%, from December 31, 2023 and decreased by $407.6 million, or 14.19%, from $2.87 billion at September 30, 2023. Pre-tax unrealized loss decreased by $120.2 million from the end of the prior quarter, and declined by $82.1 million from December 31, 2023 and by $260.7 million from September 30, 2023.

Concurrent with the sale-leaseback transactions during the third quarter of 2024, the Bank sold AFS securities with a book value of $312 million, resulting in a net pre-tax loss of $11.6 million.

At September 30, 2024, investment securities held-to-maturity (“HTM”) totaled $2.41 billion, a decrease of $24.6 million from the prior quarter end, a $59.4 million, or 2.41% decline from December 31, 2023, and a decrease of $84.2 million, or 3.38%, from September 30, 2023.

Combined, the AFS and HTM investments in mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”) totaled $3.82 billion or approximately 78% of the total investment securities at September 30, 2024. Virtually all of our MBS and CMO are issued or guaranteed by government or government sponsored enterprises, which have the implied guarantee of the U.S. Government. In addition, at September 30, 2024, we had $552.6 million of Government Agency securities that represent approximately 11.3% of the total investment securities.

Our combined AFS and HTM municipal securities totaled $485.7 million as of September 30, 2024, or 10% of our total investment portfolio. These securities are located in 35 states.

At September 30, 2024, the Company had $316.6 million of Bank Owned Life insurance (“BOLI”), compared to $308.7 million at December 31, 2023 and $259.5 million at September 30, 2023. The $57.1 million increase in value of BOLI, when compared to September 30, 2023, was primarily due to a restructuring of the Company’s life insurance policies at the end of 2023, including a $4.5 million write-down in value on surrender policies that was offset by a $10.9 million enhancement to cash surrender values, as well as additional policy purchases totaling $41 million. This restructuring has increased returns on our BOLI policies resulting in additional non-taxable noninterest income in 2024.

[1] Includes $2.6 million of nonaccrual loans past due 30-89 days.

The $3.0 million decrease in nonperforming loans from June 30, 2024 was primarily due to the payoff of one nonperforming commercial real estate loans totaling $2.3 million and $1.4 million in paydowns of nonperforming commercial real estate loans associated with two relationships. Past due loans grew to more than $30 million on September 30, 2024. Classified loans are loans that are graded “substandard” or worse. Classified loans decreased $122,000 quarter-over-quarter, primarily due to a $668,000 net decrease in classified commercial real estate loans, which included the payoff of 4 loans totaling $11.5 million that were partially offset by the addition of six classified commercial real estate loans in the third quarter of 2024. Classified dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans declined by $3.5 million due to paydowns and classified commercial and industrial loans increased $3.5 million primarily due to the addition of one classified commercial and industrial loan.

Deposits & Customer Repurchase Agreements
Deposits of $12.07 billion and customer repurchase agreements of $394.5 million totaled $12.47 billion at September 30, 2024. This represented a net increase of $407.9 million compared to June 30, 2024. Total deposits at September 30, 2024 included $400 million in brokered time deposits. Total deposits and customer repurchase agreements increased $761.7 million, or 6.51%, when compared to $11.71 billion at December 31, 2023 partially due to the growth in brokered deposits, and decreased $161.3 million, or 1.28% when compared to $12.63 billion at September 30, 2023.

Noninterest-bearing deposits were $7.14 billion at September 30, 2024, an increase of $46.7 million, or 0.66%, when compared to $7.09 billion at June 30, 2024. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased by $69.4 million, or 0.96% when compared to $7.21 billion at December 31, 2023, and decreased by $449.8 million, or 5.93% when compared to $7.59 billion at September 30, 2023. At September 30, 2024, noninterest-bearing deposits were 59.12% of total deposits, compared to 60.13% at June 30, 2024, 63.03% at December 31, 2023, and 61.39% at September 30, 2023.

Borrowings
As of September 30, 2024, total borrowings consisted of $500 million of FHLB advances. The FHLB advances include maturities of $300 million, at an average cost of approximately 4.73%, maturing in May of 2026, and $200 million, at a cost of 4.27% maturing in May of 2027. During the third quarter of 2024, we repaid the $1.3 billion of borrowings from the Federal Reserve’s Bank Term Funding Program, with a cost of 4.76%, that were scheduled to mature in January of 2025.

Capital
The Company’s total equity was $2.20 billion at September 30, 2024. This represented an overall increase of $119.9 million from total equity of $2.08 billion at December 31, 2023. Increases to equity included $149.9 million in net earnings and a $48.7 million increase in other comprehensive income, that were partially offset by $83.9 million in cash dividends. We engaged in no stock repurchases during the first nine months of 2024. Our tangible book value per share at September 30, 2024 was $10.17.

Our capital ratios under the revised capital framework referred to as Basel III remain well-above regulatory standards.

These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company including, without limitation, plans, strategies, goals and statements about the Company’s outlook regarding revenue and asset growth, financial performance and profitability, capital and liquidity levels, loan and deposit levels, growth and retention, yields and returns, loan diversification and credit management, stockholder value creation, tax rates, the impact of economic developments, and the impact of acquisitions we have made or may make.

The Company cautions readers that a number of important factors, in addition to those set forth below, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements.

General risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct business; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary, and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation/deflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; the effect of acquisitions we have made or may make, including, without limitation, the failure to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions, and/or the failure to effectively integrate an acquisition target, key personnel and customers into our operations; the timely development of competitive products and services and the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers; the impact of changes in financial services policies, laws, and regulations, including those concerning banking, taxes, securities, and insurance, and the application thereof by regulatory agencies; the effectiveness of our risk management framework and quantitative models; changes in the level of our nonperforming assets and charge-offs; the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices or accounting standards, as may be adopted from time-to-time by bank regulatory agencies, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other accounting standards setters; possible credit related impairments or declines in the fair value of loans and securities held by us; possible impairment charges to goodwill on our balance sheet; changes in customer spending, borrowing, and savings habits; the effects of our lack of a diversified loan portfolio, including the risks of geographic and industry concentrations; periodic fluctuations in commercial or residential real estate prices or values; our ability to attract or retain deposits (including low cost deposits) or to access government or private lending facilities and other sources of liquidity; the possibility that we may reduce or discontinue the payment of dividends on our common stock; changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers; changes in the competitive environment among financial and bank holding companies and other financial service providers; technological changes in banking and financial services; systemic or non-systemic bank failures or crises; geopolitical conditions, including acts or threats of terrorism, actions taken by the United States or other governments in response to acts or threats of terrorism, and/or military conflicts, which could impact business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad; catastrophic events or natural disasters, including earthquakes, drought, climate change or extreme weather events that may affect our assets, communications or computer services, customers, employees or third party vendors; public health crises and pandemics, and their effects on our asset credit quality, business operations, and employees, as well as the impact on general economic and financial market conditions; cybersecurity threats and fraud and the costs of defending against them, including the costs of compliance with legislation or regulations to combat fraud and cybersecurity threats; our ability to recruit and retain key executives, board members and other employees, and our ability to comply with federal and state employment laws and regulations; ongoing or unanticipated regulatory or legal proceedings or outcomes; and our ability to manage the risks involved in the foregoing. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and available at the SEC’s Internet site (http://www.sec.gov).

Pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”)¹ in the third quarter was $35.2 million compared to a pre-provision net loss of $69.8 million for the prior quarter, or $34.4 million of PPNR when adjusted to exclude the impairment charge on goodwill¹.

The $1.4 million increase in operating net income¹ over the prior quarter is attributed to a positive variance of $2.2 million related to the change in provision for unfunded commitments; $1.6 million increase in non-interest income; and a $490 thousand increase in net interest income, offset by a $1.3 million increase in operating non-interest expense, adjusted to exclude the impairment charge on goodwill, and a $1.1 million increase in provision for credit losses.

“We continue to strategically position the Company for future growth as evidenced by actions taken during the quarter with the refinancing of our maturing subordinated debt and the recalibration of our common dividend strategy,” said Susan G. Riel, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “We announced the addition of Evelyn Lee to our senior leadership as our Chief Lending Officer for our commercial lending team. As a 25 year banker in the Washington D.C. market, I am excited about accomplishing our strategic goal of continuing to build out our commercial banker group and pursuing diversification of the loan portfolio and growing our relationship deposits,” added Ms. Riel.

Eric R. Newell, Chief Financial Officer of the Company said, “Raising senior debt in the third quarter demonstrates the confidence debt investors have in our vision and the future of the Company. Operating performance was stable from last quarter evidenced by operating net income¹ increasing $1.4 million to $21.8 million in the third quarter. We continued to build our reserve for credit losses, with coverage as a percentage of total held for investment loans at 1.40% increasing 7 basis points from last quarter. Common equity tier one capital increased to 14.5% and our tangible common equity¹ ratio exceeds 10%.”

Ms. Riel added, “I thank all of our employees for their hard work and their commitment to a culture of respect, diversity and inclusion in both the workplace and the communities we serve.”

Third Quarter 2024 Highlights

The Company repaid $70 million of maturing subordinated debt and issued $77.7 million of 10% unsecured senior debt maturing September 30, 2029.
During the quarter, the Company announced a recalibration of the common stock dividend to $0.165 per share from $0.45 per share in the second quarter an action estimated to retain an additional $32 million of capital annually to meet growth and investment objectives.
The ACL as a percentage of total loans held for investment was 1.40% at quarter-end; up from 1.33% at the prior quarter-end. Performing office coverage² was 4.55% at quarter-end; as compared to 4.05% at the prior quarter-end.
Nonperforming assets increased $38.2 million to $137.1 million as of September 30, 2024 and were 1.22% of total assets compared to 0.88% as of June 30, 2024. Inflows to non-performing loans in the quarter totaled $45.5 million offset by $9 million of outflows, of which $5 million was the loan held for sale at June 30, 2024 and an increase of other real estate owned of $2.0 million. The inflows were predominantly associated with $27.3 million in mixed use land loans and $17.9 million in an assisted living facility loan.
Substandard loans declined $17.0 million to $391.3 million and special mention loans increased $57.1 million to $365.0 million at September 30, 2024.
Net charge-offs for the third quarter were 0.26% compared to 0.11% for the second quarter 2024. Of the total $5.3 million of net charge offs in the quarter, $3.8 million is associated with a senior living property that has not stabilized.
The net interest margin (“NIM”) decreased slightly to 2.37% for the third quarter 2024, compared to 2.40% for the prior quarter, primarily due to continued decline in average non-interest bearing deposits. Net interest income increased $490 thousand from the second quarter to $71.8 million in the third quarter.
At quarter-end, the common equity ratio, tangible common equity ratio¹, and common equity tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) ratio were 10.86%, 10.86%, and 14.54%, respectively.
Total estimated insured deposits at quarter-end were $6.4 billion, or 74.5% of deposits, stable from the second quarter total of 72.5% of deposits.
Total on-balance sheet liquidity and available capacity was $4.6 billion at quarter-end compared to $4.0 billion at June 30, 2024.

Income Statement

Net interest income was $71.8 million for the third quarter 2024, compared to $71.4 million for the prior quarter. The increase in net interest income was primarily driven by an increase in the average balances of deposits held with other banks and average loans partially offset by higher average interest-bearing deposits and higher rates paid on those deposits in the third quarter from the prior quarter.
Provision for credit losses was $10.1 million for the third quarter 2024, compared to $9.0 million for the prior quarter. The increase in the provision quarter over quarter reflects higher net charge-offs in the third quarter from the prior quarter. Reserve for unfunded commitments was a reversal of $1.6 million due to lower unfunded commitments in our construction portfolio. This compared to a reserve for unfunded commitments in the prior quarter of $0.6 million.
Noninterest income was $6.95 million for the third quarter 2024, compared to $5.33 million for the prior quarter. The primary driver for the increase was higher swap fee income.
Noninterest expense was $43.6 million for the third quarter 2024, compared to $146.5 million for the prior quarter. The decrease over the comparative quarters was primarily due to a goodwill impairment charge of $104.2 million in the second quarter 2024. When excluding the goodwill impairment charge, the increase quarter over quarter was associated with increased FDIC insurance expense.

Loans and Funding

Total loans were $8.0 billion at September 30, 2024, down 0.4% from the prior quarter-end. The decrease in total loans was driven by a reduction in commercial loans and income producing commercial real estate loans from the prior quarter-end, partially offset by increased fundings of ongoing construction projects for commercial and residential properties.
At September 30, 2024, income-producing commercial real estate loans secured by office properties other than owner-occupied properties were 10.8% of the total loan portfolio, down from 11.3% at the prior quarter-end.

Total deposits at quarter-end were $8.5 billion, up $273.5 million, or 3.3%, from the prior quarter-end. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in time deposits from the company’s digital acquisition channel. Period end deposits have increased $165 million when compared to prior year comparable period end of September 30, 2023.
Other short-term borrowings were $1.2 billion at September 30, 2024, down 25.3% from the prior quarter-end as maturing FHLB borrowings were paid down with increased cash from deposits.

Asset Quality

Allowance for credit losses was 1.40% of total loans held for investment at September 30, 2024, compared to 1.33% at the prior quarter-end. Performing office coverage was 4.55% at quarter-end; as compared to 4.05% at the prior quarter-end.
Net charge-offs were $5.3 million for the quarter compared to $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2024.
Nonperforming assets were $137.1 million at September 30, 2024.
- NPAs as a percentage of assets were 1.22% at September 30, 2024, compared to 0.88% at the prior quarter-end. At September 30, 2024, other real estate owned consisted of four properties with an aggregate carrying value of $2.7 million. The increase in NPAs was predominantly associated with $27.3 million in mixed use land loans and $17.9 million in an assisted living facility loan.
- Loans 30-89 days past due were $56.3 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $8.4 million at the prior quarter-end. Of the total increase, $25 million was brought current subsequent to quarter-end.

Capital

Total shareholders’ equity was $1.2 billion at September 30, 2024, up 4.8% from the prior quarter-end. The increase in shareholders’ equity of $56.0 million was primarily due to increased valuations of available-for-sale securities and an increase in retained earnings.
Book value per share and Tangible book value per share³ was $40.61, up $1.86 from the prior quarter-end.

Tangible common equity, tangible common equity to tangible assets (the “tangible common equity ratio”), tangible book value per common share, average tangible common equity, annualized return on average tangible common equity, and the operating annualized return on average tangible common equity are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP based amounts. The Company calculates the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common shareholders’ equity, or tangible common equity, and dividing by tangible assets. The Company calculates tangible book value per common share by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which the Company calculates by dividing common shareholders’ equity by common shares outstanding. The Company calculates the annualized return on average tangible common equity ratio by dividing net income available to common shareholders by average tangible common equity, which is calculated by excluding the average balance of intangible assets from the average common shareholders’ equity. The Company calculates the operating annualized return on average tangible common equity ratio by dividing operating net income available to common shareholders, which adds back the goodwill impairment, by average tangible common equity, which is calculated by excluding the average balance of intangible assets from the average common shareholders’ equity. The Company considers this information important to shareholders as the significant impact of the goodwill impairment is a one-time event that obscures the operating performance of the company. Further related to other measures, tangible equity is a measure that is consistent with the calculation of capital for bank regulatory purposes, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk based ratios, and as such is useful for investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate capital adequacy and to compare against other financial institutions.

The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing GAAP noninterest expense by the sum of GAAP net interest income and GAAP noninterest income. The efficiency ratio measures a bank’s overhead as a percentage of its revenue. The Company believes that reporting the non-GAAP efficiency ratio more closely measures its effectiveness of controlling operational activities. Further, the operating efficiency ratio is measured by dividing non-GAAP noninterest expense, which excludes the goodwill impairment, by the sum of GAAP net interest income and GAAP noninterest income. The Company considers this information important to shareholders as the significant impact of the goodwill impairment is a one-time event that obscures the operating performance of the company.

Pre-provision net revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by subtracting noninterest expenses from the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. The Company considers this information important to shareholders because it illustrates revenue excluding the impact of provisions and reversals to the allowance for credit losses on loans. Operating pre-provision net revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by subtracting noninterest expenses with the impact of the goodwill impairment added back from the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. The Company considers this information important to shareholders as the significant impact of the goodwill impairment is a one-time event that obscures the operating performance of the company.

Operating net (loss) income and operating (loss) earnings per share (diluted) are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP based amounts. The Company calculates operating net (loss) income by excluding from net (loss) income the one-time goodwill impairment of $104.2 million. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company performed an annual impairment test as a result of management’s evaluation of current economic conditions, and concluded that goodwill had become impaired, which resulted in an impairment charge of $104.2 million to reduce the carrying value of the Company’s goodwill to zero. The Company calculates operating earnings (loss) per share (diluted) by dividing the one-time goodwill impairment of $104.2 million by the weighted average shares outstanding (diluted) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company considers this information important to shareholders because operating net (loss) income and operating (loss) earnings per share (diluted) provides investors insight into how Company earnings changed exclusive of the impairment charge to allow investors to better compare the Company’s performance against historical periods. The table above provides a reconciliation of operating net income (loss) and operating earnings (loss) per share (diluted) to the nearest GAAP measure.

MIL-OSI USA: Attorney General Bonta Announces Awardees of 2024-2025 Tobacco Grant Program, Seizure of $1 Million of Illegal Flavored Tobacco Products

Source: US State of California Department of Justice

OAKLAND – California Attorney General Rob Bonta today announced the recipients of the California Department of Justice (DOJ)’s Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Proposition 56 Tobacco Grant Program. The grant recipients are 76 local government agencies located throughout the state, including law enforcement agencies, prosecuting agencies, public health departments, cities and counties that will receive more than $28.5 million to support their efforts to reduce illegal tobacco sales to underage youth. This year’s funding prioritized retail enforcement and education as part of Attorney General Bonta’s commitment to fighting the illegal sales and marketing of tobacco products to minors. Funded activities include “flavor ban” enforcement efforts, shoulder tap and minor decoy operations, retailer education programs, tobacco retail license inspections, task force coordination, training for officers on tobacco laws and ordinances, monitoring retailer compliance, and more.

The Attorney General also announced the results of Operation Up in Smoke, the DOJ’s first-ever statewide retail tobacco enforcement operation. The operation targeted and seized illegal flavored tobacco products at retail locations and cited retailers who sell these products to minors. Fourteen local agencies, who were current and past recipients of the DOJ Tobacco Grant program, and two other state agencies were part of this year’s operation.

“The alarming rise in youth exposure to nicotine, particularly though vaping and e-cigarette demands urgent and decisive action. At the California Department of Justice, we are doing just that and reaffirming our commitment to safeguarding youth from the harmful effects of nicotine products through strict enforcement,” said Attorney General Rob Bonta. “Our enforcement operation shows firsthand how we crack down on the sale and distribution of illegal tobacco products. Funds from today’s grants to partners across the state will allow us to continue holding accountable those who break the law, and ensure a healthier, safer future for the next generation.”

“We look forward to our continued partnership with California Attorney General Rob Bonta and the Department of Justice to keep our community healthy and safe,” said Fresno City Attorney Andrew Janz. “In the City of Fresno, 85% of our schools have a smoke shop within a 1000-foot radius who routinely sell products that are designed by appearance and taste to appeal to minors. This funding allows the City of Fresno to continue safeguarding our youth, preventing them from becoming the next generation of lifelong tobacco users.”

“Everyone knows that tobacco products are marketed to teenagers to try to get them addicted at a young age,” said Long Beach City Prosecutor Doug Haubert. “In Long Beach, we are working with our law enforcement and health department partners to stop the sale of tobacco products to youth. We are going to increase enforcement, especially targeting retailers who have a history of violations. We appreciate the opportunity to partner with California DOJ and Attorney General Rob Bonta as part of this statewide effort.”

“The City of Vallejo is looking forward to utilizing this incredible $932,000 Tobacco Grant from the Department of Justice to help us with issues surrounding tobacco use by minors,” said Assistant City Manager of Vallejo Gillian Haen. “This generous grant will help our City with enforcement actions from retail inspections through enforcement as well as retailer and code enforcement education.”

“The Modesto Police Department is thrilled to have received funding through the DOJ for Tobacco Enforcement,” said Modesto Police Department. “This support highlights our urgent need to combat the rising rates of tobacco use among youth in our community, particularly the alarming appeal of flavored tobacco products. We have already seen the overwhelming amount of these products in our city, and this grant will significantly enhance our enforcement efforts and educational initiatives and hold those accountable for targeting these harmful products that pose a significant risk to our children’s health. Additionally, we will address the criminal element that often surrounds tobacco retail stores, working to reduce illegal activities that compromise the safety of our neighborhoods. In collaboration with the Stanislaus County District Attorney’s Office, the City Attorney’s Office, and our community, we are committed to a comprehensive approach through enforcement, education, and prosecution. Together, we will create a safer environment for our youth and foster a healthier community.”

“This grant gives us the tools to crackdown on those who sell tobacco and nicotine, including banned flavored tobacco products, to minors,” said Chula Vista Police Department. “This grant also gives CVPD the opportunity to conduct operations to gather information on persons selling narcotics to the public in licensed tobacco retail stores. By joining forces with the DOJ, we will be able to target and hold responsible anyone who harms our community and our youth under the guise of legitimate businesses.”

“This grant will enable the City of Rancho Cordova to make significant progress in reducing the use of flavored tobacco products among the youth in the community,” said City of Rancho Cordova. “The city’s Code Enforcement team will carry out a comprehensive operation, engaging with every tobacco retailer in the city to provide education and resources aimed at ensuring compliance.”

Tobacco use is the number one preventable killer in the United States. Smoking-related illness accounts for approximately 40,000 deaths annually in California. Nicotine, a key component of cigarettes and most e-cigarettes, is highly addictive and harmful to the developing brains of children and young adults.

DOJ’s Tobacco Grant Program aims to reduce childhood addiction to tobacco products by supporting local partners who:

Enforce the statewide retail flavor ban and similar local retail flavor ordinances.
Prosecute and penalize retailers who sell or market tobacco products to youth under the age of 21, including over the internet.
Educate and inform tobacco retailers on state and local tobacco laws.
Investigate and inspect for retailer licensing compliance.

The program is funded by Proposition 56, the California Healthcare, Research and Prevention Tobacco Tax Act of 2016. With this year’s awards, the Tobacco Grant Program has distributed approximately $212 million in grant funding to over 470 grantees through a competitive process.

Operation Up in Smoke resulted in the seizure of at least 50,000 illegal flavored tobacco products amounting to over $1,000,000 in value. Unstamped cigarettes, counterfeit stamps, non-MSA cigarettes, cannabis, and illegal gambling machines, were also items seized in this operation. The following state and local agencies were involved in this year’s operation: California Department of Justice: Tobacco Unit and Tax Recovery in the Underground Economy (TRUE); California Department of Public Health – Office of Youth Tobacco Enforcement (OYTE); California Department of Tax and Fee Administration – Tax Investigations and Inspections Bureau (CDTFA); Alameda County Sheriff’s Office; Calistoga Police Department; Chula Vista Police Department; Clovis Police Department; Inglewood Police Department; Irvine Police Department; Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office; Long Beach City Prosecutor; Riverside Sheriff’s Department; Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office; Santa Cruz Police Department; County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency; Shasta County Health and Human Services Agency; Sonoma County Department of Health Service.

MIL-OSI Security: Los Angeles County Man Sentenced to 12 Years and 9 Months in Prison for Child Exploitation Conspiracy with Yuba County Man

Source: Office of United States Attorneys

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Pedro Luis Millan, aka Peter Millan, 38, of Montebello, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta to 12 years and nine months in prison for conspiracy to sexually exploit a child, U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert announced.

According to court documents, in May 2021, Millan conspired with Brent Hooton, 51, of Marysville, to produce an image of a severely autistic child who was under the age of 12 engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Hooton produced the image and then sent it to Millan and other users over the Kik messaging app. Millan received that image, as well as additional sexual abuse images of the same child victim, from Hooton over the Kik app.

This case was the product of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Denise N. Yasinow prosecuted the case.

On Aug. 27, 2024, Hooton was sentenced to 27 years in prison for sexual exploitation of a child and distribution of child pornography.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute those who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.

MIL-OSI Security: Long Island Child Therapist Charged with Distribution of Child Pornography

Source: Office of United States Attorneys

Earlier today, Renee Hoberman, a licensed social worker, was arrested on charges of distribution of child pornography. The defendant was arraigned this afternoon at the federal courthouse in Central Islip before United States Magistrate Judge Arlene R. Lindsay on a complaint and ordered detained.

Breon Peace, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, and William S. Walker, Special Agent in Charge, Homeland Security Investigations, New York (HSI) and Patrick Ryder, Commissioner, Nassau County Police Department announced the charges.

“As alleged, Hoberman distributed heinous and disturbing child pornography, including videos showing infants being restrained and raped. Additionally, while posing as a man, Hoberman, who is a therapist serving children, claimed to have produced child pornography and offered others the opportunity to sexually abuse children,” stated United States Attorney Peace. “Our investigation into Hoberman is ongoing, and we urge anyone with information to contact HSI’s tip line. Together with our law enforcement partners, we will relentlessly pursue predators who victimize children and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.”

“This case is an example of the vital work our investigators do every day in cooperation with our dedicated partners in federal law enforcement,” said Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder. “The hard working and diligent detectives of the Nassau County Police Department will continue to work tirelessly to protect the innocent, and we will never stop fighting to bring those who victimize children to justice.”

As set forth in the complaint, between June 2024 and October 2024, Hoberman allegedly used social media messaging apps to upload digital videos depicting one or more minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct, including several videos of infants six months to one year of age being physically restrained and raped by an adult male, as the infants cried and frantically screamed for the duration of the videos. As recently as on or about October 16, 2024, the defendant uploaded child pornography and engaged in multiple chats concerning child sexual molestation. In these chats, the defendant, purporting to be a man, claimed to have multiple minor children and stated that “he” would have anal sex with the children and would punish them by getting naked, stripping the children naked, and spanking them while the other children watched. The defendant invited another user to visit “his” family in New York to spank the children. In addition, the defendant described sexually abusing “his” children and their friends, and then sent two videos containing child sexual abuse material, claiming that these videos depicted the user’s own children.

According to public records and as alleged in the complaint, Hoberman works as a therapist with an organization based in Melville, New York and serves children aged 0-17.

Anyone with information about sexual exploitation by the defendant is asked to contact HSI at HSI’s tip line: (866) 347-2423 or via HSI’s website: https://www.ice.gov/webform/ice-tip-form.

The charges in the complaint are allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. If convicted, Hoberman faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison.

This prosecution is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by United States Attorneys’ Offices, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit https://www.justice.gov/psc.

The government’s case is being handled by the Criminal Section of the Office’s Long Island Division. Assistant United States Attorneys James R. Simmons and Russell Noble are in charge of the prosecution.

MIL-OSI Security: Former Teacher Sentenced to 20 Years in Prison for Producing Child Pornography with Hidden Cameras

Source: Office of United States Attorneys

ST. LOUIS – U.S. District Judge Henry E. Autrey on Wednesday sentenced a former St. Louis County, Missouri teacher to 20 years in prison for producing child pornography with hidden cameras.

Judge Autrey also ordered Joseph R. Gutowski to pay $86,500 in restitution to his victims, including those who appeared in the child sexual abuse material he collected.

Gutowski hid cameras in his office at Lafayette High School in Wildwood and in his home. He secretly filmed a minor and traded some of the images with others online. He was a member of an underground child pornography group on the cloud storage service Mega. He also traded videos he’d secretly recorded of an adult in the “Club Creep” group on Mega.

Gutowski, 42, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in St. Louis in July to one count of producing of child pornography and one count of receiving child pornography.

The FBI and the St. Louis County Police Department Special Investigations Unit investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jillian Anderson prosecuted the case.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the Department of Justice Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
