Net interest margin also improved to 3.59% from 3.03% and 3.39% in the first and fourth quarters of 2024, respectively. While credit quality remained stable, the company did allocate $93,000 to provision for credit losses primarily as the result of the noted loan growth. As a result of these successes, the Board of Directors declared a $0.23 per share quarterly dividend, a 4.5% increase from fourth quarter 2024, payable on June 16th for shareholders of record on May 30th. The dividend is 24.5% of the reported net income for the first quarter of 2025. Throughout 2025, we plan to continue to grow the number and size of client relationships, introduce an all-new digital platform for our clients, provide clients weekday access to a live teller from 7am – 7pm at all our locations as well as online chat, and identify new technology to create internal efficiencies.  While we expect to offer all these services and technology enhancements, we do not expect to see an increase in costs because of new and renegotiated vendor contracts and technology implementation. We believe that effectively implementing technology will promote growth and provide the opportunity to increase the effectiveness of our team members in serving our clients. Management also intends to continue to repurchase shares as opportunities to create value for our shareholders present themselves. The continued accomplishments of your Company are the undeniable result of the ongoing efforts of the Company's dedicated team members and Board of Directors in implementing our Strategic Plan. Their efforts and our strong corporate values of respect for and accountability to our shareholders, clients, colleagues, and communities are the foundation for the continued success of your Company.  Thank you for your ongoing support and the trust you have placed in us.
