The bank saw a 5.1% annualized increase in total loans to $9.1 billion and an improved net interest margin of 3.75%, driven by higher loan yields and efficient balance sheet management. Noninterest expenses rose slightly due to personnel and merger costs related to the pending Carolina Bank acquisition.
