Bull points
- first quarter total revenue increased 43.5 million or 16% year-over-year, driven by 8% growth in net interest income and a 56% increase in non-interest revenue.
- Net income to common was $69.5 million, up 26.7 million, or 63% year-over-year, and adjusted net income increased 65% to $70.5 million.
- Strong financial performance coupled with a disciplined multi-year share repurchase program is consistently driving meaningful EPS growth for our shareholders.
Bear points
- Provision for credit losses of $16 million was stable year-over-year, reflective of anticipated quarterly credit trends and management's continued assumption of economic scenarios materially more severe than consensus estimates.
- Commercial real estate loans of $5.3 billion decreased 9% year-over-year and 2% link quarter, as payoff rates continue to outpace client appetite for capital deployment.
- Net interest income of $254.7 million declined $12.7 million in the quarter, primarily related to seasonal mortgage finance dynamics and fewer days in the quarter, which were partially offset by quarter-over-quarter improvements in deposit costs.
