The standout driver was a sharp reduction in credit loss provisions, which plunged 67.1% to $6.06 million, paired with net interest income climbing 5.3% sequentially to $90.48 million as net interest margin expanded to 3.81%. Net income nearly doubled from the prior quarter to $23.00 million, a result that also reflected meaningful asset quality improvement, with non-performing assets declining 30.5% to $97.87 million. In a broader environment where major banks are navigating margin pressures, Amerant's expanding NIM stands out. Management guided Q3 net interest margin at approximately 3.75%, with annualized loan growth of roughly 5% and continued Florida branch expansion on the horizon.
