13 2023 Summary • Overall, the Company’s 2023 net loss primarily reflects the significantly higher provision for credit losses, decreased net interest income and increased total non - interest expense. • Despite the net loss recognized for 2023, the Company continued to see several encouraging new business development results during the year which included a $47.6 million, or 4.8%, increase in total loans and the fourth consecutive quarter of growth in wealth management revenues. • Finally, the Company continued to maintain strong capital ratios that exceed the regulatory defined well capitalized status.
