MOUNT LAUREL, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--1st Colonial Bancorp, Inc. (FCOB), holding company of 1st Colonial Community Bank, today reported net income of $1.8 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net income of $1.8 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Robert White, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to report our third quarter and nine month results, which reflect continued stability in our operating results. Our net interest margin improved during the quarter, which we believe will continue for the balance of the year, as the yield curve continues to widen. Our residential mortgage business revenue improved for the quarter and we have solid momentum given the increase in housing inventory in our markets. Our credit discipline and strong portfolio management practices continue to deliver strong asset quality metrics. We remain focused on delivering high quality products and services to our growing client base, as well as continuing to closely manage operating expenses as we proceed through the final quarter of 2024."
Operating Results
Net Interest Income
The net interest margin was 3.16% for the third quarter of 2024 compared to 3.11% for the second quarter of 2024 and 3.43% for the third quarter of 2023. The average yield on interest-earning assets grew 22 basis points from 5.30% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 to 5.52% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The average rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities increased 57 basis points from 2.23% for the third quarter of 2023 to 2.80% for the third quarter of 2024. Net interest margin was 3.19% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 3.52% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $6.2 million and $6.6 million, respectively. The $447 thousand decline in net interest income was primarily attributable to a $989 thousand increase in interest paid on average interest-bearing liabilities that was partially offset by a $542 thousand increase in interest income earned on average interest-earning assets. For the third quarter of 2024, average loan balances decreased $11.3 million to $623.2 million from $634.5 million for the third quarter of 2023. Average residential mortgages outstanding increased $18.3 million and average outstanding construction and commercial real estate loans and home equity lines of credit declined $12.0 million, $9.4 million, and $6.7 million, respectively. Interest income earned on average cash and investment balances increased $172 thousand and $239 thousand from the third quarter of 2023. When compared to the second quarter of 2024, net interest income increased $266 thousand.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net interest income decreased $1.7 million, or 8%, to $18.4 million from $20.0 million for the same period in 2023. The decline in net interest income was primarily attributable to a $4.1 million increase in interest paid on average interest-bearing liabilities and was partially mitigated by a $2.4 million increase in interest income earned on average interest-earning assets. During the first nine months of 2024, interest income on average loans and average investments increased $1.6 million and $561 thousand, respectively. Our average outstanding loan balance grew $8.1 million. Average residential mortgages outstanding increased $29.2 million and average outstanding construction loans decreased $19.6 million.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, interest expense was $4.6 million, an increase of $989 thousand from $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2023. For the third quarter of 2024, average interest-bearing deposits increased $16.0 million from the third quarter of 2023. Average brokered certificates of deposit (CDs) increased $36.9 million due to declines in average retail CD and interest checking balances of $16.8 million and $8.3 million, respectively. As a result of the prolonged higher interest rates, we have increased our deposit rates over the last year. The increase in deposit rates combined with the increase in the average balance of higher cost brokered CDs led to an increase of $1.1 million in deposit interest expense in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023. When compared to the second quarter of 2024, total interest expense increased $197 thousand from $4.4 million. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 2.80% for the third quarter of 2024 compared to 2.74% for the second quarter of 2024 and 2.23% for the third quarter of 2023.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, interest expense was $13.2 million, an increase of $4.1 million from $9.1 million for the same period in 2023. For the first nine months of 2024, average interest-bearing deposits increased $17.9 million from the average balance for the comparable 2023 period. Average brokered CD balances increased $43.2 million while average interest checking, savings and money market and retail CD balances declined $6.9 million, $8.8 million, and $9.5 million, respectively. The increase in deposit rates combined with the increase in average brokered CD balances led to an increase of $4.4 million in deposit interest expense for the first three quarters of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. Average borrowings decreased $7.7 million during the first three quarters of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
Provision for Credit Losses
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the net provision for credit losses was $82 thousand and included $120 thousand for loans and a provision release of $38 thousand for off balance sheet ("OBS") commitments.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the provision for credit losses was a net release of $202 thousand and included $140 thousand for loans and $62 thousand for OBS commitments. The release was mainly due to a planned sale of $15 million in home equity lines of credit which occurred in June 2024. As a result of the sale, we were able to expand our ability to originate new lines of credit without increasing our concentration in single family residential mortgages. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the provision for credit losses was $122 thousand and included $180 thousand for loans and a net release of $58 thousand for OBS commitments. Net charge-offs were $383 thousand for the first nine months of 2024 compared to net recoveries of $104 thousand for the same period in 2023.
