Revenue grew 11% year-over-year. Strong loan and deposit growth, coupled with effective balance sheet positioning, resulted in record net interest income. Our market-facing businesses also delivered strong fee performance. With revenues growing faster than expenses, we achieved good operating leverage and an efficiency ratio below 62%. Every line of business reported top and bottom-line improvements, and I thank our teammates for a strong quarter.”
