"We're happy with third quarter results as our balance sheet transformation story continues. Margin expanded again this quarter and credit remains well managed. Looking forward, we are optimistic about the environment, our markets and opportunities to grow core customer relationships. Our thoughts are with those who were impacted by the recent storms and we are here to support our employees, clients and communities," said Rajinder Singh, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company reported net income of $61.5 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, compared to $53.7 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, for the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2024 and $47.0 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company reported net income of $163.2 million, or $2.17 per diluted share compared to $157.9 million, or $2.11 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Quarterly Highlights

To date, we have made notable progress executing near-term strategic priorities focused on improving core profitability.

The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, expanded by 0.06%, to 2.78% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 from 2.72% for the immediately preceding quarter. The net interest margin was 2.56% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 the net interest margin improved to 2.69% from 2.55% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
The average cost of total deposits declined by 0.03% to 3.06% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 from 3.09% for the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2024. The spot APY of total deposits declined to 2.93% at September 30, 2024 from 3.09% at June 30, 2024. The average cost of interest bearing deposits declined by 0.06% to 4.20% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 from 4.26% for the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2024 while the spot APY of interest bearing deposits declined to 4.01% at September 30, 2024 from 4.29% at June 30, 2024.
The Company's funding profile has improved significantly over the course of 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, wholesale funding, including FHLB advances and brokered deposits, declined by $1.9 billion while non-brokered deposits grew by $1.7 billion, including an increase of $800 million in non-interest bearing demand deposits ("NIDDA").
Average NIDDA remained relatively stable, declining by $64 million for the quarter, consistent with the prior quarter at 27% of average total deposits. Total deposits grew by $93 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. In part due to expected seasonal trends, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, NIDDA declined by $430 million, and represented 27% of total deposits at September 30, 2024.
FHLB advances increased by $295 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024; this increase was related to intraday cash management and transactional deposit flows on the last day of the quarter and is also reflected in temporarily elevated cash balances. Brokered deposits grew by $303 million for the quarter; we took advantage of favorable pricing in the brokered deposit market during a period of market dislocation.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our core CRE and C&I loan portfolios grew by $286 million while residential loans declined by $422 million and franchise, equipment and municipal finance declined by a combined $238 million.
Total loans declined by $230 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The commercial real estate segment grew by $34 million while the C&I segment declined by $112 million. Mortgage warehouse grew by $33 million. Consistent with our balance sheet strategy, the residential, franchise, equipment and municipal finance portfolios declined by a combined $185 million.
The loan to deposit ratio declined to 87.6% at September 30, 2024, from 88.7% at June 30, 2024 and 92.8% at December 31, 2023.
Net charge-offs remained low and were $6.5 million for the quarter. The annualized net charge-off ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 0.12%. The NPA ratio at September 30, 2024 was 0.64%, including 0.10% related to the guaranteed portion of non-accrual SBA loans, compared to 0.50%, including 0.11% related to the guaranteed portion of non-accrual SBA loans at June 30, 2024. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily related to two C&I loans.
The ratio of the ACL to total loans increased to 0.94% at September 30, 2024; the ratio of the ACL to non-performing loans was 101.68%. The ACL to loans ratio for commercial portfolio sub-segments including C&I, CRE, franchise finance and equipment finance was 1.41% at September 30, 2024 and the ACL to loans ratio for CRE office loans was 2.20%.
Our commercial real estate exposure is modest, totaling 25% of loans and 164% of the Bank's total risk based capital at September 30, 2024. By comparison, based on call report data as of June 30, 2024 (the most recent date available) for banks with between $10 billion and $100 billion in assets, the median level of CRE to total loans was 35% and the median level of CRE to total risk based capital was 220%.
At September 30, 2024, the weighted average LTV of the CRE portfolio was 55.3%, the weighted average DSCR was 1.77, 56% of the portfolio was collateralized by properties located in Florida and 25% was collateralized by properties located in the New York tri-state area. For the office sub-segment, the weighted average LTV was 65.4%, the weighted average DSCR was 1.56, 57% was collateralized by properties in Florida, substantially all of which was suburban, and 23% was collateralized by properties located in the New York tri-state area.
Liquidity remains ample. Total same day available liquidity was $15.0 billion, the available liquidity to uninsured, uncollateralized deposits ratio was 147% and an estimated 63% of our deposits were insured or collateralized at September 30, 2024.
Our capital position is robust. At September 30, 2024, CET1 was 11.8% at a consolidated level. Pro-forma CET1, including accumulated other comprehensive income, was 10.9% at September 30, 2024. The ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets increased to 7.6% at September 30, 2024.
The net unrealized pre-tax loss on the available for sale ("AFS") securities portfolio continued to improve, declining by $125 million, to 4% of amortized cost, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The duration of our AFS securities portfolio remained short, at 1.73 as of September 30, 2024. Held to maturity securities were not significant.
Book value and tangible book value per common share continued to grow, to $37.56 and $36.52, respectively, at September 30, 2024, compared to $36.11 and $35.07, respectively, at June 30, 2024, and $34.66 and $33.62, respectively at December 31, 2023.
Beth Hosen, an industry veteran and proven leader, joined BankUnited in September as executive vice president and head of treasury management, overseeing treasury management sales, service and product as well as the commercial card business.

Hurricane Helene made landfall along Florida's "Big Bend" coast in September, 2024, ultimately impacting parts of the Southeastern United States. The impact of Hurricane Helene on BankUnited's operations was not significant, and is not expected to be significant to our financial condition or results of operations. Hurricane Milton made landfall near Siesta Key, Florida in October, bringing heavy rain, hurricane or tropical storm force winds, storm surge and power outages to portions of the Florida peninsula. All of our branches and office locations have re-opened for business, and damage from the storm was negligible. There were no significant impacts to banking operations. We are still in the process of finalizing our assessment of the potential impact of Hurricane Milton on our customers and credit portfolio.

_________________________
(1)		Annualized for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
(2)		For purposes of this ratio, commercial loans includes the core C&I and CRE sub-segments as presented in the table above as well as franchise and equipment finance. Due to their unique risk profiles, MWL and municipal finance are excluded from this ratio.

The ACL at September 30, 2024 represents management's estimate of lifetime expected credit losses given an assessment of historical data, current conditions, and a reasonable and supportable economic forecast as of the balance sheet date. For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the provision for credit losses, including both funded and unfunded loan commitments, was $9.2 million, compared to $19.5 million for the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2024. For the quarter ended September 30, 2024, an increase in qualitative overlays, changes in portfolio characteristics, and updates to certain assumptions had the effect of increasing the ACL, while the impact of improvements in the economic forecast partially offset that increase.

The following table summarizes the activity in the ACL for the periods indicated (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended									Nine Months Ended

Total criticized and classified commercial loans increased by $90 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The increase in the substandard non-accruing category for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was primarily related to two C&I loans.

A $6.2 million increase in compensation and benefits for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 resulted primarily from an increase in the Company's stock price, impacting the value of liability-classified share based compensation awards and increases in certain other variable compensation accruals.
