Wintrust Financial Corporation announced strong Q3 2023 results, with record net interest income of $462.4 million and net income of $164.2 million. Deposit growth of approximately $1 billion and loan growth of approximately $423 million contributed to the positive performance. Credit metrics remained strong and at historically low levels.
Total deposits grew by approximately $1 billion, or 9% annualized.
Total loans increased by approximately $423 million, or 4% annualized. Adjusting for the impact of a loan sale transaction, total loans would have increased $767 million, or 7% annualized.
Record quarterly net interest income of $462.4 million, increasing approximately $14.8 million primarily due to strong growth in earning assets.
Net charge-offs totaled $8.1 million or eight basis points of average total loans on an annualized basis.
Assuming a similar interest rate environment, Wintrust believes its net interest margin will be relatively stable for the remainder of 2023 and entering 2024. The combination of balance sheet growth and a stable net interest margin is expected to continue to grow net interest income.
