- Robust growth in the retail banking, credit card, and commercial businesses helped increase total revenue.
- The decline in average interest-earning assets was the primary cause for the drop in net interest income.
- The company improved its funding mix by reducing the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances and increasing lower-cost retail deposits. The change positively affected the net interest margin.
