Overview

Loan originations rose yr/yr but fell from prior quarter due to seasonally lower student loan volumes

CREDIT-ENHANCED LOAN GROWTH - Growth in credit-enhanced loan portfolio contributed to higher net interest income and margin
NONPERFORMING LOAN REDUCTION - Co reduced nonperforming loan balances through sales of collateral and portfolio management
