At its July 2024 meeting, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the cash dividend of two cents per share, raising the approved dividend for the quarter to $0.36 per common share, up 12.50% from the cash dividend declared a year ago. The cash dividend is payable to shareholders of record on August 5, 2024, and will be paid on August 15, 2024.

Christopher J. Murphy III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are very pleased to have achieved record quarterly earnings during the second quarter. Average loans and leases grew $102.14 million, up 1.57%, and average deposits increased $172.53 million, or 2.46% compared to the previous quarter. Disciplined loan and lease pricing led to an improvement in our net interest margin of five basis points from the prior quarter. This marks the third consecutive quarter of margin expansion despite persistent deposit rate competition. We were also helped by net recoveries of $1.99 million during the quarter. Nonperforming assets to loans and leases at June 30, 2024, was 0.31%, down from 0.34% at March 31, 2024, and the allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loans and leases remained strong and unchanged from the previous quarter at 2.26%. Additionally, our liquidity and capital positions remained strong.
