Forward Guidance
The Company’s earnings will be less in 2024 with a full year of Durbin, ongoing margin pressure anticipated as a result of continued competition for deposits, and increased regulatory compliance costs as a result of crossing the $10 billion asset threshold. Our current outlook on the economy is less pessimistic than a year ago as reflected in our modestly lower CECL reserve percentage at December 31, 2023, when compared to a year ago.
Challenges Ahead
- Full year impact of the Durbin Amendment on interchange fees.
- Ongoing pressure on net interest margins due to competition for deposits.
- Increased regulatory compliance costs from crossing the $10 billion asset threshold.
- Potential for continued margin pressure.
- Earnings will be less in 2024
