Positive Outlook

- Total revenue growth for 2023, excluding the gain on portfolio sale, is anticipated to be slightly above average loan growth.
- A full year net interest margin similar to that of 2022 is expected.
- Expenses in the second half of 2023 are expected to be lower than the first half driven by lower intangible amortization expense and improved operating efficiencies.
- Focus on disciplined expense management to align investments with the full year revenue and growth outlook.
Challenges Ahead
