$77.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, or 10.9 percent annualized. - A credit loss expense of
$500 thousand was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to a credit loss expense of$200 thousand in the third quarter of 2023.$300 thousand of the expense in the fourth quarter was allocated to the allowance for credit losses on loans, which was due to loan growth. The additional$200 thousand expensed in the fourth quarter was allocated to the allowance for unfunded commitments. The expense in the third quarter of 2023 was due to loan growth. - The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 0.97 percent at
December 31, 2023 , compared to 0.99 percent atSeptember 30, 2023 . Nonaccrual loans atDecember 31, 2023 consisted of one loan with a balance of$296 thousand , compared to one loan with a balance of$303 thousand atSeptember 30, 2023 . - Deposits increased
$218.2 million , or 7.9 percent, in the fourth quarter of 2023. Brokered deposits totaled$305.4 million atDecember 31, 2023 , compared to$237.0 million atSeptember 30, 2023 , an increase of$68.4 million . Excluding brokered deposits, deposits increased$149.8 million , or 6.0 percent, during the fourth quarter of 2023. As ofDecember 31, 2023 , estimated uninsured deposits, which excludes deposits in the IntraFi® reciprocal network, brokered deposits and public funds protected by state programs, were approximately 28.2 percent of total deposits. - Borrowed funds decreased to
$592.6 million atDecember 31, 2023 , compared to$705.1 million atSeptember 30, 2023 . The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of$111.2 million in federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings. - The efficiency ratio (a non-GAAP measure) was 64.66 percent for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 60.83 percent for the third quarter of 2023. The increase in the efficiency ratio was primarily due to the decrease in noninterest income. This decrease was primarily attributable to
$431 thousand in loan swap fees that were earned in the third quarter of 2023. - Net interest margin, on a fully tax-equivalent basis (a non-GAAP measure), was 1.87 percent for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 1.91 percent for the third quarter of 2023. Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was
$16.4 million , compared to$16.6 million for the third quarter of 2023. The rising cost of deposits has increased interest expense faster than the increase in interest income from loan repricing and loan originations. - In
December 2023 , the Company sold approximately$11.3 million of securities from the available for sale securities portfolio and realized a net loss of$431 thousand . The proceeds from this sale were reinvested in the loan portfolio and have an estimated earn back period of approximately 1 year. - The tangible common equity ratio was 5.88 percent at
December 31, 2023 , compared to 5.51 percent atSeptember 30, 2023 . The increase was attributable to the decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, which was primarily driven by the effect of decreasing long-term interest rates in the fourth quarter on the unrealized market value adjustment of our available for sale investment portfolio.

$184.7 million atDecember 31, 2023 , or 6.7 percent, compared toDecember 31, 2022 . - Deposits increased

The increase in the efficiency ratio in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily due to the decrease in net interest income.
- Net interest margin, on a fully tax-equivalent basis (a non-GAAP measure), was 1.87 percent for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 2.49 percent for the fourth quarter of 2022. Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was
$16.4 million , compared to$20.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. In 2023, the rising cost of deposits and borrowed funds and the change in mix of funding increased interest expense faster than the increase in interest income from loan repricing and loan originations.
Year Ended 2023 Compared to Year Ended 2022 Overview
- The credit loss expense recorded in 2023 was
$700 thousand , compared to a credit loss benefit of$2.5 million in 2022. The credit loss expense recorded in 2023 was associated with growth in loans and unfunded commitments. The credit loss benefit recorded in 2022 was primarily due to the reversal of a specific reserve on an impaired loan and the reduction of certain qualitative factors resulting from the sustained performance of loans after the expiration of COVID-19 modifications and continued improvement in classified loans. - Net interest income declined
$22.7 million in 2023 compared to 2022. Net interest margin decreased to 2.01 percent in 2023, compared to 2.76 percent in 2022. The decline in both net interest income and net interest margin was primarily due to the rising cost of deposits and borrowed funds and the change in mix of funding, which increased interest expense faster than the increase in interest income from loan repricing and loan originations.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This report contains references to financial measures that are not defined in GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures include the Company’s presentation of net interest income and net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis and the presentation of the efficiency ratio on an adjusted and FTE basis, excluding certain income and expenses. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors to analyze and evaluate the Company’s financial performance. These measures are considered standard measures of comparison within the banking industry. Additionally, management believes providing measures on a FTE basis enhances the comparability of income arising from taxable and nontaxable sources. Limitations associated with non-GAAP financial measures include the risks that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items included in these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be considered an alternative to the Company’s GAAP results. The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures of net interest income and net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis and efficiency ratio on an adjusted and FTE basis.

(1) Computed on a tax-equivalent basis using a federal income tax rate of 21 percent, adjusted to reflect the effect of the nondeductible interest expense associated with owning tax-exempt securities and loans. Management believes the presentation of this non-GAAP measure provides supplemental useful information for proper understanding of the financial results, as it enhances the comparability of income arising from taxable and nontaxable sources.
(2) The efficiency ratio expresses noninterest expense as a percent of fully taxable equivalent net interest income and noninterest income, excluding specific noninterest income and expenses. Management believes the presentation of this non-GAAP measure provides supplemental useful information for proper understanding of the Company's financial performance. It is a standard measure of comparison within the banking industry. A lower ratio is more desirable.
