- Net interest margin increased to 4.27% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 4.18% for the linked quarter driven by higher accretion income.
- Peoples recorded a provision for credit losses of $6.7 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to a provision for credit losses of $5.7 million for the second quarter of 2024.

Impact of the Limestone Merger:
As of the close of business on April 30, 2023, Peoples completed its previously announced merger with Limestone Bancorp, Inc. ("Limestone"), a bank holding company headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, and the parent company of Limestone Bank, pursuant to a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated October 24, 2022. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Limestone merged with and into Peoples, and immediately thereafter Limestone Bank merged with and into Peoples' wholly-owned subsidiary, Peoples Bank (collectively, the "Limestone Merger"), in a transaction valued at $177.9 million. Peoples recorded acquisition-related expenses, primarily related to the Limestone Merger, which included $(0.7) million, $(0.1) million and $10.7 million in other non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024, March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2023, respectively. There was no such expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Peoples recorded acquisition-related expenses of $(0.7) million compared to $15.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $88.9 million for the third quarter of 2024 and increased $2.3 million when compared to the linked quarter. Net interest margin was 4.27% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 4.18% for the linked quarter. The increase in net interest income and margin was primarily driven by an increase in accretion income, net of amortization, from acquisitions and higher earning asset yields, which were offset by higher borrowing costs
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2024 decreased $4.4 million, or 5%, compared to the third quarter of 2023. The decrease in net interest income compared to the third quarter of 2023 was driven by higher funding costs. Net interest margin decreased 43 basis points when compared to the third quarter of 2023, driven primarily by higher rates on deposits.
Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions was $8.1 million for the third quarter of 2024, $5.8 million for the linked quarter and $9.5 million for the third quarter of 2023, which added 39 basis points, 28 basis points and 48 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin. The increase in accretion income for the third quarter of 2024 when compared to the linked quarter was primarily driven by higher loan and lease payoffs. The decrease in accretion income for the current quarter compared to the third quarter of 2023 was a result of lower accretion.
For the first nine months of 2024, net interest income increased $11.2 million, or 4%, compared to the first nine months of 2023, while net interest margin decreased 36 basis points to 4.24%. The increase in net interest income was driven by increases in market interest rates and an additional four months of income from the Limestone Merger. The decrease in net interest margin for the first nine months of 2024 compared to the first nine months of 2023 was primarily driven by higher borrowing costs, which offset higher earning asset yields.
Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions was $20.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $15.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which added 33 and 29 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin. The increase in accretion income for the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was due to an additional four months in 2024 from the Limestone Merger.
Provision for Credit Losses:
The provision for credit losses was $6.7 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $5.7 million for the linked quarter and $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2023. The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2024 was mainly a result of net charge-offs. The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2024 was driven by (i) higher net charge-offs, (ii) an increase of reserves on individually analyzed loans and leases and (iii) loan growth. The increase in the provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023, was largely attributable to an increase in the reserves for individually analyzed loans and leases and higher net charge-offs.
The provision for credit losses during the first nine months of 2024 was $18.5 million, compared to a provision for credit losses of $13.9 million for the first nine months of 2023. The provision for credit losses during the first nine months of 2024 was mainly a result of (i) higher net charge-offs, (ii) an increase in reserves on individually analyzed loans and leases, (iii) economic forecast deterioration and (iv) loan growth. The provision for credit losses during the first nine months of 2023 was driven by (i) the addition of the provision for the non-purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired in the Limestone Merger, (ii) loan growth and (iii) economic forecast deterioration, partially offset by a reduction in the reserves for individually analyzed loans and leases and the use of updated loss drivers.
The provision for credit losses recorded represents the amount needed to maintain the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses based on management's quarterly estimates. The provision for credit losses negatively impacted earnings per diluted common share by $0.15 for the third quarter of 2024, $0.13 for the second quarter of 2024, and $0.09 for the third quarter of 2023. For the first nine months of 2024, the provision negatively impacted earnings per diluted common share by $0.42, compared to $0.33 for the first nine months of 2023.
For additional information on net charge-offs, credit trends and the allowance for credit losses, see the "Asset Quality" section below.
Net Gains and Losses:
Net gains and losses include gains and losses on investment securities, asset disposals and other transactions, which are included in total non-interest income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The net loss for the third quarter of 2024 was $0.9 million, compared to a net loss of $0.8 million for the linked quarter, and a net loss of $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2023. The net loss for the third quarter of 2024, the second quarter of 2024, and the third quarter of 2023 were driven primarily by net losses on repossessed assets of $0.5 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
The net loss realized during the first nine months of 2024 was $2.0 million, compared to a net loss realized of $4.3 million for the first nine months of 2023. The net loss for the first nine months of 2024 was primarily driven by $1.3 million of net losses on repossessed assets. The net loss recognized in the first nine months of 2023 was primarily driven by a $2.0 million pre-tax net loss on the sale of available-for-sale investment securities and a $1.6 million write-down of an other real estate owned ("OREO") property.
Total Non-interest Income, Excluding Net Gains and Losses:
Total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, for the third quarter of 2024 increased $1.2 million compared to the linked quarter. The increase in non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, was primarily impacted by increases of $0.8 million in mortgage banking income and $0.7 million in lease income, partially offset by a decrease of $0.6 million in bank-owned life insurance income ("BOLI"). Total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, for the third quarter of 2024 was 22% of total revenue (defined as net interest income plus total non-interest income excluding net gains and losses) consistent with the second quarter of 2024.
Compared to the third quarter of 2023, total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, increased $2.1 million, primarily due to a $1.9 million increase in lease income, a $0.8 million increase in mortgage banking income, and a $0.6 million increase in trust and investment income, partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in BOLI income. The increases for the third quarter of 2024, when compared to the third quarter of 2023, were primarily due to gains on early terminations on leases that paid off, higher production in mortgage banking, and an increase in trust and investment income.
For the first nine months of 2024, total non-interest income, excluding gains and losses, increased $8.7 million, or 13%, compared to the first nine months of 2023. The increase was driven by (i) a $2.0 million increase in other non-interest income, driven by operating lease income, (ii) a $1.7 million increase in trust and investment income driven by increases of assets under administration and management, (iii) a $1.4 million increase in lease income driven by gains on terminated leases, (iv) a $1.2 million increase in insurance income driven by higher contingency income and market increases for premiums, (v) a $0.9 million increase in deposit account service charge income, and (vi) a $0.9 million increase in mortgage banking income.
Total Non-interest Expense:
Total non-interest expense decreased $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to the linked quarter. The decrease in total non-interest expense was primarily due to decreases of $2.8 million in other non-interest expense, driven by a one-time $1.3 million true-up of corporate expenses recorded in the linked quarter, and a decrease of $0.6 million in data processing and software expense.
Compared to the third quarter of 2023, total non-interest expense decreased $5.6 million, or 8%. The decrease in total non-interest expense was primarily due to a decrease of $5.1 million in acquisition-related expenses. Excluding acquisition-related expenses, non-interest expenses decreased $0.5 million, or 1%, primarily due to a decrease of $2.7 million in other non-interest expense, partially offset by an increase of $1.1 million in data processing and software expense.
For the nine months of 2024, total non-interest expense increased $4.5 million, or 2%, compared to the first nine months of 2023. Excluding acquisition-related expenses, non-interest expenses increased $21.0 million, or 11%, primarily due to increases of $11.6 million in salaries and employee benefits costs due to additional employees added in the Limestone Merger, and $4.4 million and $2.5 million in data processing and software expense and in net occupancy and equipment expense, respectively, due to recent growth, including through acquisitions.
The table below summarizes the amount of acquisition-related expenses for each line item that is a component of non-interest expense. Acquisition-related expenses are considered a non-core non-interest expense by Peoples. This information is used by Peoples to provide information useful to investors in understanding Peoples' operating performance and trends.

The efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2024 was 55.1%, compared to 59.2% for the linked quarter and 58.4% for the third quarter of 2023. The efficiency ratio, adjusted for non-core items, was 55.7% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 59.2% for the linked quarter, and 52.5% for the third quarter of 2023. The efficiency ratio and the adjusted for non-core items efficiency ratio improved compared to the linked quarter mainly as the result of a reduction in non-interest expense and an increase in net interest income. The efficiency ratio and the adjusted for non-core items efficiency ratio increased for the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023 due to higher non-interest expense and lower revenue. The efficiency ratio for the first nine months of 2024 was 57.4%, compared to 59.7% for the first nine months of 2023. The efficiency ratio improved compared to the prior year first nine months due to the decrease in acquisition-related expenses. The efficiency ratio, adjusted for non-core items, was 57.7% for the first nine months of 2024, compared to 54.2% for the first nine months of 2023. The increase in the efficiency ratio, adjusted for non-core items, for the first nine months of 2024 compared to the first nine months of 2023 was due to higher non-interest expense. Peoples continues to focus on controlling expenses, while recognizing necessary costs in order to continue growing the business.
Income Tax Expense:
Peoples recorded income tax expense of $9.2 million with an effective tax rate of 22.5% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to income tax expense of $6.9 million with an effective tax rate of 19.1% for the linked quarter and income tax expense of $8.8 million with an effective tax rate of 21.7% for the third quarter of 2023. The increase in income tax expense when compared to the prior quarter was driven by a $1.1 million one-time benefit recognized in the second quarter of 2024 related to a prior year amended return and higher pre-tax income. The increase in income tax expense when compared to the third quarter of 2023 was primarily due to higher effective tax rate. Peoples recorded income tax expense of $24.3 million with an effective tax rate of 21.2% for the first nine months of 2024 and $22.1 million with an effective tax rate of 21.7% in the first nine months of 2023. The increase in income tax expense was driven by higher pre-tax income.
Investment Securities and Liquidity:
Peoples' investment portfolio primarily consists of available-for-sale investment securities reported at fair value and held-to-maturity investment securities reported at amortized cost. The available-for-sale investment securities balance at September 30, 2024 decreased $38.5 million when compared to at June 30, 2024, increased $32.3 million when compared to at December 31, 2023, and increased $62.1 million when compared to at September 30, 2023. The decrease in the balance when compared to at June 30, 2024, was driven by principal payment reductions. The balances of unrealized losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale investment securities recognized within accumulated other comprehensive loss were $83.7 million, $112.7 million, $104.2 million, and $148.1 million at September 30, 2024, at June 30, 2024, at December 31, 2024, and at September 30, 2023, respectively. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss was the result of the changes in the market value of available-for-sale investment securities during the period.
The held-to-maturity investment securities balance at September 30, 2024 decreased $8.3 million when compared to at June 30, 2024 and increased $10.0 million and $18.2 million when compared to at December 31, 2023 and at September 30, 2023, respectively. The decrease when compared to the linked quarter was driven by principal payments. The increase when compared to September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by purchases of higher yielding, longer duration securities booked as held-to-maturity. The balances of net unrealized losses on held-to-maturity investment securities were $57.1 million, $79.4 million, $71.6 million and $105.5 million at September 30, 2024, at June 30, 2024, at December 31, 2023, and at September 30, 2023, respectively.
The effective duration of the investment portfolio as of September 30, 2024 was approximately 5.42 years. The duration of Peoples' investments is managed as part of its Asset Liability Management program, and has the potential to impact both liquidity and capital, as mismatches in duration may require a liquidation of investment securities at market prices to meet funding needs. These assets are one component of Peoples' liquidity profile.
Peoples maintains a number of liquid and liquefiable assets, borrowing capacity, and other sources of liquidity to ensure the availability of funds. At September 30, 2024, Peoples had liquid and liquefiable assets totaling $648.7 million, which included (i) cash and cash equivalents, (ii) unpledged government and agency investment securities and (iii) unpledged non-agency investment securities that could be liquidated. At September 30, 2024, Peoples had a total borrowing capacity of $554.7 million available through the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"), the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB"), and federal funds. Additionally, at September 30, 2024, Peoples had other contingent sources of liquidity totaling $3.4 billion. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $143.0 million when compared to December 31, 2023 due to an improvement in other inputs in our aforementioned liquidity metrics, specifically unencumbered securities, driven by the migration of deposit balances to IntraFi Cash Service accounts ("ICS"), freeing up investment securities previously held as collateral against those balances, and requiring less cash to be held on the balance sheet.
Loans and Leases:
The period-end total loan and lease balances at September 30, 2024 decreased $53.5 million, or 3% annualized, compared to at June 30, 2024. The decrease in the period-end total loan and lease balances was primarily driven by decreases of (i) $20.5 million in construction loans, (ii) $15.5 million in other commercial real estate loans, (iii) $11.8 million in residential real estate loans, and (iv) $7.9 million in commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by an increase of $5.5 million in home equity lines of credit.
The period-end total loan and lease balances at September 30, 2024 increased $112.6 million compared to at December 31, 2023, primarily driven by growth of $83.8 million in premium finance loans, $65.2 million in commercial and industrial loans, $24.4 million in home equity lines of credit, and $18.9 million in leases.
The period-end total loan and lease balances at September 30, 2024 increased $187.4 million compared to at September 30, 2023, primarily driven by organic growth in our commercial and industrial, premium finance, lease, and home equity lines of credit portfolios of $121.3 million, $97.7 million, $30.4 million, and $29.2 million, respectively.
Quarterly average total loan balances increased $61.8 million compared to the linked quarter. The increase in average total loan balances when compared to the linked quarter was primarily the result of growth of (i) $28.3 million in premium finance loans, (ii) $24.6 million in consumer indirect loans, and (iii) $24.4 million in commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by a reduction of $25.6 million in other commercial real estate loans.
Compared to the first nine months quarter of 2023, quarterly average loan balances in the current quarter increased $0.8 billion, or 15%. The increase was driven by growth in our other commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, premium finance, and lease portfolios of $395.6 million, $207.9 million, $92.7 million, and $55.9 million, respectively.
Asset Quality:
Overall, asset quality remained relatively stable through the third quarter of 2024. Delinquency trends remained stable as loans considered current comprised 98.5%, 98.8%, and 99.0% of the loan portfolio at September 30, 2024, at June 30, 2024, and at September 30, 2023, respectively. Total nonperforming assets at September 30, 2024 increased $21.1 million, or 43%, compared to at June 30, 2024, and increased $27.3 million, or 64%, compared to at September 30, 2023. The increase in nonperforming assets compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to an increase in the balance of leases, premium finance loans, commercial and industrial loans, and residential real estate loans past due and accruing. The increase in nonperforming assets is driven by higher administrative delinquencies on Vantage leases and premium finance loans. The increase in nonperforming assets compared to at September 30, 2023, was impacted by the increase of loans past due and accruing. Nonperforming assets as a percent of total loans and OREO was 1.11% at September 30, 2024, compared to 0.77% at June 30, 2024, and 0.70% at September 30, 2023.
Criticized loans, which are those categorized as special mention, substandard or doubtful, decreased $2.3 million, or 1%, compared to at June 30, 2024, increased $2.4 million, or 1%, compared to at December 31, 2023, and increased $24.5 million, or 11%, compared to at September 30, 2023. As a percent of total loans, criticized loans were 3.79% at September 30, 2024, compared to 3.79% at June 30, 2024, 3.82% at December 31, 2023, and 3.50% at September 30, 2023. The decrease in the amount of criticized loans compared to at June 30, 2024 was primarily driven by paydowns on previously downgraded loans.

Annualized net charge-offs were 0.38% of average total loans for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 0.27% for the linked quarter, and 0.15% for the third quarter of 2023. The increase relative to the linked quarter was driven by an increase in charge-offs on leases originated by our North Star Leasing business.

The increase in retail certificates of deposits was due to current specials being offered, while the increase in governmental deposit accounts was due to the seasonality of those balances.

Stockholders' Equity:
Total stockholders' equity at September 30, 2024 increased $47.1 million, or 4%, compared to at June 30, 2024. This change was primarily driven by net income of $31.7 million and a decrease of $27.7 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss during the quarter, partially offset by dividends paid of $14.2 million. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss was the result of the changes in the market value of available-for-sale investment securities during the period.
Total stockholders' equity at September 30, 2024 increased $71.4 million, or 7%, compared to at December 31, 2023, which was due to net income of $90.3 million and a decrease of $19.1 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the first nine months of 2024, partially offset by dividends paid of $42.1 million.
Total stockholders' equity at September 30, 2024 increased $131.8 million, or 13%, compared to at September 30, 2023, which was due to net income of $124.1 million in the last twelve months and a decrease in other comprehensive loss of $61.3 million, partially offset by dividends paid of $56.2 million.

Compared to at June 30, 2024, and at September 30, 2024, these ratios improved due to net income during the third quarter of 2024, partially offset by dividends paid.
At September 30, 2024, book value per common share and tangible book value per common share, which excludes goodwill and other intangible assets, were $31.65 and $20.29, respectively, compared to $30.36 and $18.91, respectively, at June 30, 2024, and $28.06 and $16.52, respectively, at September 30, 2023.

Use of Non-US GAAP Financial Measures:
This news release contains financial information and performance measures determined by methods other than those in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). Management uses these "non-US GAAP" financial measures in its analysis of Peoples' performance and the efficiency of its operations. Management believes that these non-US GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods and peers. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for financial measures determined in accordance with US GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-US GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Below is a listing of the non-US GAAP financial measures used in this news release:
- Core non-interest expense is a non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes the impact of acquisition-related expenses and the COVID-19 employee retention credit.
- The efficiency ratio is calculated as total non-interest expense (less amortization of other intangible assets) as a percentage of fully tax-equivalent net interest income plus total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses. This ratio is a non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes amortization of other intangible assets and all gains and losses included in earnings, and uses fully tax-equivalent net interest income.
- The efficiency ratio adjusted for non-core items is calculated as core non-interest expense (less amortization of other intangible assets) as a percentage of fully tax-equivalent net interest income plus total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses. This ratio is a non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes the impact of acquisition-related expenses, the COVID-19 employee retention credit, and the amortization of other intangible assets and all gains and losses included in earnings, and uses fully tax-equivalent net interest income.
- Tangible assets, tangible equity, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio and tangible book value per common share are non-US GAAP financial measures since they exclude the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired through acquisitions on both total stockholders' equity and total assets.
- Total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, is a non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes all gains and losses included in earnings.
- Pre-provision net revenue is defined as net interest income plus total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, minus total non-interest expense. This measure is a non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes the provision for (recovery of) credit losses and all gains and losses included in net income.
- Return on average assets adjusted for non-core items is calculated as annualized net income (less the after-tax impact of all gains and losses, acquisition-related expenses, and COVID-19 employee retention credit divided by average assets. This measure is a non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes the after-tax impact of all gains and losses and acquisition-related expenses.
- Return on average tangible equity is calculated as annualized net income (less the after-tax impact of amortization of other intangible assets) divided by average tangible equity. This measure is a non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes the after-tax impact of amortization of other intangible assets from net income and the impact of average goodwill and other average intangible assets acquired through acquisitions on average stockholders' equity.
A reconciliation of these non-US GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable US GAAP financial measures is included at the end of this news release under the caption of "Non-US GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)."
