Q: Hey, good morning, guys. Thank you for taking my question. Morning, Tim. What's up? I appreciate the commentary on kind of the puts and takes on the NEM this quarter. And it sounds like the primary driver here was that seasonal deposit runoff at the beginning was maybe a little bit stronger, lasted longer than normal. Was there anything that surprised you on like the loan or security yield side as well, or is it just primarily the NEM, or sorry, the deposits?

A: No, there's nothing surprising. It is primarily deposits. As I've indicated in the past, since we are a little bit on the asset-sensitive side, we did expect the yields to drop on loans and investments, so it truly is driven by the deposits. the timing of the deposits. So we are, as I indicated, we do expect to see improvement in both the funding costs and translating into the reduction on the NIM side. On the asset side, the lending team continues to price well to help us maintain and improve the margin from here.

Q: And are you able to help? You said, you know, an upward trajectory from here. Can you help us quantify that at all? Like maybe what was the spot NIM at the end of Q1 once those deposits came back and you were able to run off some of the higher cost borrowings? And any idea on maybe where we would end the year, say, if we get just a zero rate cut?

A: So we ended – we ended the quarter a few basis points higher than the average for the quarter um for the reported name for the quarter and expect to to be able to go up a few basis points from there over the over the course of the remainder of the year Q: And then um one last one if i can get it on the deposit side um you know there's been some chatter about increasing deposit competition, but it's more extreme in some markets than others. Have you guys experienced that? I get you still have some room to move downward, but are you starting to see some deposit competition? Is it more competitive in certain markets or deposit categories than others for you?

A: Yeah, Tim, I would say, you know, competition remains, it's prevalent, but I would tell you, we challenged the team to reach out to their relationships and drive deposit growth. And the team has absolutely responded to that initiative. And so we were very pleased with the results, and we think that we have a lot of momentum going forward.
