Company Guidance
During the FFBC Q3 2024 earnings call, the company provided guidance indicating a positive outlook for the fourth quarter and beyond. They expect mid-single-digit loan growth, driven by seasonal strength in their Summit business unit. The net interest margin is anticipated to decrease to between 3.85% and 3.95% due to expected rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Credit costs are projected to remain stable, with net charge-offs anticipated to be approximately 25 to 30 basis points for the full year. Fee income is expected to range between $63 million and $65 million, supported by strong performance in foreign exchange and leasing business revenue. Noninterest expenses are forecasted to be between $126 million and $128 million. The company is optimistic about finishing the year strong and entering 2025 with continued momentum.
