Company Guidance
During Colony Bank's Q3 2024 earnings call, the management provided an optimistic outlook based on several key financial metrics.

Deposit growth was observed with a $64.7 million increase, while loans held for investment rose by $20 million, or approximately 4% annualized. Despite a slight decrease in the net interest margin by 4 basis points, the management is confident that margin expansion will occur in the coming quarters. The operating net noninterest expense to average assets improved to 1.32%, continuing a seven-quarter trend of quarter-over-quarter improvement. Additionally, recent strategic investments, including a new digital banking platform and the hiring of a Director of Optimization, underscore the bank's commitment to efficiency and future profitability.
