INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes was $2.0 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 24.4% and 23.7%, respectively, for the same periods. The effective tax rate is impacted by recurring permanent differences, such as those associated with bank-owned life insurance and tax-exempt investment and loan income.

The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $6.3 million and $5.2 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The net deferred tax asset, which is included on the interim condensed consolidated balance sheet in other assets, is impacted by changes in the fair value of securities available-for-sale and cash flow hedges, changes in net operating loss carryforwards, changes in the allowance for credit losses, and other book-to-tax temporary differences. The net deferred tax asset increased by $0.6 million as a result of the cumulative effect adjustment to adopt ASC 326, effective January 1, 2023.
