Income Statement
Net interest income was $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $3.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2023. The decrease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 was primarily due to increases in interest expense on deposits and borrowings, partially offset by increases in interest income on loans, securities and cash and federal funds sold. The increases in both interest income and interest expense were as a result of the high interest rate environment and increases in average interest earning assets and average interest bearing liabilities.
The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $17,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and a reversal of provision for credit losses of $67,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to a provision for credit losses of $247,000 and $430,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2023. The decrease in provision for credit losses for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to lower qualitative factor allocations within the Company’s current expected credit losses methodology and a lower required allowance for unfunded commitments due to a decline in volume of unfunded commitments. There were no loan charge-offs during the first six months of 2024 and only $6,000 of overdraft protection charge-offs. Delinquencies remain benign, reserves are deemed to be adequate as of June 30, 2024 and the allowance coverage ratio has remained strong. The allowance for credit losses was $4.5 million, or 1.30%, of loans outstanding at June 30, 2024 as compared to $4.5 million, or 1.38%, of loans outstanding at December 31, 2023. Total non-performing loans decreased to $1.3 million at June 30, 2024 compared to $1.4 million at December 31, 2023. The non-performing loans to total loans ratio decreased by seven basis points to 0.37% at June 30, 2024 from 0.44% as of December 31, 2023.
Noninterest income was $190,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $377,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $259,000 and $397,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2023. The primary reason for the decrease in noninterest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same prior year periods was due to a decrease in other income. The other income decrease was due to $14,000 and $24,000 of loan related fee income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to $58,000 for the same periods in 2023, earned for brokering interest rate swap agreements between the Bank’s customers and counterparties unrelated to the Bank.
Noninterest expense was $2,487,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $4,985,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $2,493,000 and $4,958,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2023. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to decreases in advertising and marketing of $34,000 primarily due to timing of community sponsorships. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to increases in data and item processing as the Company continues to invest in our information technology infrastructure.
