We closed Beach Bank in August 2022 and Heritage Bank effective January 2023, these two acquisitions added approximately $2.3 billion in assets in Florida and Georgia. The acquisitions of Beach Bank and Heritage Southeast strengthened our presence in the Florida panhandle and South Georgia, as well as opened up new markets in Atlanta, Jacksonville and Tampa. In addition to the growth through acquisitions, we also recorded record organic net loan growth of $359.1 million or 12.3% of total loans and a 6.1% increase in net operating income available to common shareholders.

We believe we are well positioned given the strength of our balance sheet and quality of our earnings stream to continue to build substantial value for our shareholders.”
