Forward guidance

People's Bancorp provided guidance for 2024, expecting net interest income to be affected by the Limestone merger and potential market interest rate reductions. Fee-based income growth is projected in the high-single-digit to low-double-digit percentages. Loan growth for 2024 is expected to be between 6% and 8%.

Tailwinds

  • Net interest income to benefit from the full year impact of the Limestone merger.
  • Fee-based income growth expected in the high-single-digit to low-double-digit percentages compared to 2023.
  • Loan growth for 2024 expected to be between 6% and 8% compared to 2023.

Headwinds

  • Net interest income to be impacted by the projected market interest rate reductions in 2024.
  • Potential for deposit rates to move higher as competition accelerates if rates were to stay flat for 2024.
  • Anticipate an increase in our provision for credit losses during 2024.
  • Do not anticipate having positive operating leverage for 2024 compared to 2023, given the technology investments.
  • First quarter expenses are generally higher due to expenses typically recognized during the first quarter.
