The decrease in interest income from the prior quarter was primarily due to a $26.1 million, or 3.8%, decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets and a three basis point decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets. Interest earned on interest-earning deposits decreased by $283,000, or 37.6%, due to a $23.1 million decrease in the average balance of interest-earning deposits and a 43 basis point decrease in average yield on interest-earning deposits during the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the prior quarter.
