Bull points
- Our ending funded reserve stands at $420 million, an increase of $1.4 million, ending at 1.25%, up one basis point from the prior quarter.
- Our stress testing results for this quarter have once again shown lower net charge-offs and stable provision compared to the prior quarter's results, confirming that our well-balanced loan portfolio enables us to withstand various stressed economic scenarios.
- The third quarter operating net income totals $122 million to $0.34 per share, excluding the $11.6 million loss on the indirect auto loan sale and $3.7 million software impairment.
Bear points
- Total delinquency finished the quarter up slightly at 79 basis points, or 15 bps from the prior quarter, with NPLs and Oreo ending at 39 basis points, up 6 pips.
