“With expanded earnings and continued advancement of our operating leverage while maintaining strong credit quality, CrossFirst delivered another great quarter,” said Mike Maddox, President and CEO of CrossFirst Bankshares, Inc. “We remained focused on scaling our markets and verticals, continuing to reduce our CRE concentration and driving operating leverage with the trough in our NIM behind us. We are advancing toward our transformative partnership with Busey while continuing to gain momentum.” Net interest margin – FTE grew to 3.29%, benefiting from the repricing lag between assets and liabilities from the September interest rate cut. The full-year net interest margin – FTE is currently expected to be at the high end of the prior guidance range of 3.20% to 3.25%.
