Based in SOUTHERN PINES, North Carolina, FIRST BANCORP /NC/ operates in the FINANCE sector.

Interest expenses for the same period were $142.1 million, rising from $16.1 million in 2022 and $9.5 million in 2021. The growth in interest expenses was primarily driven by higher interest on deposits and borrowings.

Net interest income after provision for credit losses was $328.8 million in 2023, up from $312.5 million in 2022 and $231.4 million in 2021. This increase was supported by a favorable net interest margin and effective credit risk management.

Noninterest income for the period amounted to $57.5 million, lower compared to $68.0 million in 2022 and $73.6 million in 2021. The decrease was mainly due to lower service charges on deposit accounts and reduced gains from presold mortgage loans.

Noninterest expenses totaled $254.4 million in 2023, up from $195.2 million in 2022 and $184.7 million in 2021. The increase was driven by higher salaries, merger and acquisition expenses, and other operating expenses.

Income before income taxes for 2023 stood at $132.0 million, declining from $185.2 million in 2022 but higher than $120.3 million in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to higher expenses, partially offset by increased net interest income.

Net income for the current reporting period was $104.1 million, lower than $146.9 million in 2022 but higher than $95.6 million in 2021. The decrease in net income was mainly driven by higher income tax expenses.

Earnings per common share for 2023 were $2.54 for basic and $2.53 for diluted, compared to $4.12 for both basic and diluted in 2022 and $3.19 in 2021. The decrease in earnings per share was in line with the decline in net income.

In conclusion, the financial performance of the company in 2023 reflected a mixed trend with growth in net interest income but lower noninterest income and higher expenses compared to the previous reporting periods.
