Western Alliance stated: “The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $37.1M in the second quarter 2024, an increase of $21.9 million from $15.2 million in the first quarter 2024, and an increase of $15.3 million from $21.8 million in the second quarter 2023. The provision for credit losses during the second quarter 2024 is primarily reflective of loan growth and net-charge offs of $22.8 million. The Company’s net interest margin in the second quarter 2024 was 3.63%, an increase from 3.60% in the first quarter 2024, and an increase from 3.42% in the second quarter 2023. The increase in net interest margin from the first quarter 2024 was driven by growth in average earning asset balances outpacing interest-bearing deposits. The increase in net interest margin from the second quarter 2023 was driven by higher average HFI loan and securities balances and a decrease in average short-term borrowings, partially offset by higher average deposit balances.”
