In terms of interest income, total interest income for the period amounted to $365.51 million, representing a substantial increase from $277.71 million in the previous year and $243.59 million in the year before that.

Non-interest income saw a significant increase, totaling $90.85 million for the current period compared to $62.16 million in the previous year and $79.33 million two years ago.
