Result drivers
Net interest margin - Higher net interest margin and increased average interest-earning assets drove net interest income growth
Other income - Gains on the sale of SBA loans contributed to higher other income, partly offset by lower service charge and swap fee income
Credit loss provision - Higher provision for credit losses due to growth in commercial real estate loans, partly offset by lower mortgage and construction loan activity and improving economic data
