The interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of S&T Bancorp, Inc., or S&T, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments of 20 percent to 50 percent of the outstanding common stock of investees are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements of S&T have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on February 27, 2024 (2023 Form 10-K). In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial information reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position and the results of operations for each of the interim periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for a full year or any future period.
Reclassification
Amounts in prior period financial statements and footnotes are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current period presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Investments Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323) Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method
In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2023-02, Investments Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method, or PAM, to allow reporting entities to consistently account for equity investments made primarily for the purpose of receiving income tax credits and other income tax benefits. If certain conditions are met, a reporting entity may elect to account for its tax equity investments using the PAM regardless of the program from which it receives income tax credits, instead of only using it for low-income-housing tax credit, or LIHTC, structures. This amendment also eliminates the ability to account for LIHTC investments using the cost method. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this ASU, as of January 1, 2024, using a modified retrospective transition approach, which resulted in a $1.0 million cumulative effect adjustment being recorded to retained earnings related to the transition of the cost method to the PAM on LIHTC partnerships. We also elected to apply PAM to our qualifying historic tax credit, or HTC, equity investments. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2024 are presented using the PAM, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. Under the previously applicable accounting guidance, tax credit investments were accounted for using the cost method. The investment was amortized on a straight-line basis over a maximum of 10 years, which represents the period over which the tax credits will be utilized. The amortization expense was recognized in other noninterest expense and the tax credits offset income tax expense. Under the PAM, the equity investment is amortized in proportion to the income tax credits and other income tax benefits received. The amortization expense and the income tax credits are required to be presented on a net basis in income tax expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Refer to Note 7 Tax Credit Equity Investments for additional disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Segment Reporting (Topic 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures to improve disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This update does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments; however, it does require that an entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this update. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. A public entity should apply the amendments in this update retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We currently have one reportable operating segment, Community Banking. This ASU will not impact our consolidated financial statements and will have minimal impact to our disclosures, requiring identification of the chief operating decision maker and the information used to make operating decisions and to allocate resources.
Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of the disclosures. The amendments in this update address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual consolidated financial statements that have not yet been issued. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on disclosures, and will not impact our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Diluted EPS is calculated using both the two-class and the treasury stock methods with the more dilutive method used to determine diluted EPS. The treasury stock method was used to determine EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and the two-class method was used to determined EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

We use fair value measurements when recording and disclosing certain financial assets and liabilities. Debt securities, equity securities, securities held in a deferred compensation plan and derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record other financial instruments at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, individually assessed loans, other real estate owned, or OREO, and other repossessed assets, mortgage servicing rights, or MSRs, and certain other assets.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. In determining fair value, we use various valuation approaches, including market, income and cost approaches. The fair value standard establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, which are developed based on market data that we have obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect our estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, which are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows.
Level 1: valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted market prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2: valuation is based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments traded in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by market data.
Level 3: valuation is derived from other valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow models and similar techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in determining fair value.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
There have been no changes in our valuation methodologies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Refer to Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Form 10-K for more information on the valuation methodologies that we use for financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis.

We evaluate securities with unrealized losses quarterly to determine if the decline in fair value has resulted from credit impairment or other factors. We do not believe any individual unrealized loss as of June 30, 2024 represents a credit impairment. There were 143 debt securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2024 and 133 debt securities in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2023. The unrealized losses on debt securities were attributable to changes in interest rates and not related to the credit quality of the issuers. All debt securities were determined to be investment grade and paying principal and interest according to the contractual terms of the security. At June 30, 2024, we do not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell, the securities in an unrealized loss position before recovery of their amortized cost.
The following table presents net unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale debt securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), for the periods presented:

A payment default is defined as a loan having a payment past due 90 days or more. There were no payment defaults during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 related to loans that were modified within the 12 months prior to default. Additionally, we had three commitments to lend an additional $1.2 million to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that had a modification during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and one commitment to lend an additional $0.2 million to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that had a modification during the same period in 2023.
The effect of modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the ACL because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the ACL, therefore, a change to the ACL is generally not recorded upon modification. If principal forgiveness is provided, that portion of the loan will be charged-off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the ACL. An assessment of whether the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification.
The following table is a summary of nonperforming assets as of the dates presented:

Allowance for Credit Losses
We maintain an Allowance for Credit Losses, or ACL, at a level determined to be adequate to absorb estimated expected credit losses within the loan portfolio over the contractual life of an instrument that considers our historical loss experience, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions as of the balance sheet date. We develop and document a systematic ACL methodology based on the following portfolio segments: 1) CRE, 2) C&I, 3) Commercial Construction, 4) Business Banking, 5) Consumer Real Estate and 6) Other Consumer.
The following are key risks within each portfolio segment:
CRE—Loans secured by commercial purpose real estate, including both owner-occupied properties and investment properties for various purposes such as hotels, retail, multifamily and health care. Operations of the individual projects and global cash flows of the debtors are the primary sources of repayment for these loans. The condition of the local economy is an important indicator of risk, but there are also more specific risks depending on the collateral type and the business prospects of the lessee, if the project is not owner-occupied.
C&I—Loans made to operating companies or manufacturers for the purpose of production, operating capacity, accounts receivable, inventory or equipment financing. Cash flow from the operations of the company is the primary source of repayment for these loans. The condition of the local economy is an important indicator of risk, but there are also more specific risks depending on the industry of the company. Collateral for these types of loans often does not have sufficient value in a distressed or liquidation scenario to satisfy the outstanding debt.
Commercial Construction—Loans made to finance construction of buildings or other structures, as well as to finance the acquisition and development of raw land for various purposes. While these loans are generally confined to the construction/development period, if there are problems, the project may not be completed, and as such, may not provide sufficient cash flow on its own to service the debt or have sufficient value in a liquidation to cover the outstanding principal. The condition of the local economy is an important indicator of risk, but there are also more specific risks depending on the type of project and the experience and resources of the developer.
Business Banking—Commercial purpose loans made to small businesses that are standard, non-complex products evaluated through a streamlined credit approval process that has been designed to maximize efficiency while maintaining high credit quality standards that meet small business market customers’ needs. The business banking portfolio is monitored by utilizing a standard and closely managed process focusing on behavioral and performance criteria. The condition of the local economy is an important indicator of risk, but there are also more specific risks depending on the collateral type and business.
Consumer Real Estate—Loans secured by first and second liens such as 1-4 family residential mortgages, home equity loans and home equity lines of credit. The primary source of repayment for these loans is the income and assets of the borrower. The condition of the local economy, in particular the unemployment rate, is an important indicator of risk for this segment. The state of the local housing market can also have a significant impact on this segment because low demand and/or declining home values can limit the ability of borrowers to sell a property and satisfy the debt.
Other Consumer—Loans made to individuals that may be secured by assets other than 1-4 family residences, as well as unsecured loans. This segment includes auto loans, unsecured loans and lines of credit. The primary source of repayment for these loans is the income and assets of the borrower. The condition of the local economy, in particular the unemployment rate, is an important indicator of risk for this segment. The value of the collateral, if there is any, is less likely to be a source of repayment due to less certain collateral values.
Management monitors various credit quality indicators for the commercial, business banking and consumer loan portfolios, including changes in risk ratings, nonperforming status and delinquency on a monthly basis.
We monitor the commercial loan portfolio through an internal risk rating system. Loan risk ratings are assigned based upon the creditworthiness of the borrower and are reviewed on an ongoing basis according to our internal policies. Loans within the pass rating generally have a lower risk of loss than loans risk rated as special mention or substandard.
Our risk ratings are consistent with regulatory guidance and are as follows:
Pass—The loan is currently performing and is of high quality.
Special Mention—A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that warrant management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects or in the strength of our credit position at some future date.
Substandard—A substandard loan is not adequately protected by the net worth and/or paying capacity of the borrower or by the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful—Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.
The following tables present loan balances by year of origination and internally assigned risk rating for our portfolio segments as of the dates presented:
We monitor the delinquent status of the commercial and consumer portfolios on a monthly basis. Loans are considered nonaccrual when interest and principal are 90 days or more past due or management has determined that a material deterioration in the borrower’s financial condition exists. The risk of loss is generally highest for nonaccrual loans.
The following tables present loan balances by year of origination and accrual and nonaccrual status for our portfolio segments as of the dates presented:

Amounts reported in OCI related to derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments are reclassified to interest income as interest payments are received on variable rate assets. During the next twelve months, we estimate that an additional $11.4 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest income. Our current interest rate swap agreements have 3-5 year terms with maturity dates extending into 2027.

NOTE 7. TAX CREDIT EQUITY INVESTMENTS
As part of our responsibilities under the Community Reinvestment Act and due to their favorable federal income tax benefits, we invest in LIHTC and HTC partnerships. As a limited partner in these operating partnerships, we receive tax credits and tax deductions for losses incurred by the underlying properties. Effective January 1, 2024, we adopted ASU 2023-02 and elected to apply the PAM to both LIHTC and HTC equity investments. The adoption of this ASU resulted in a $1.0 million cumulative effect adjustment, which decreased retained earnings and other assets. Tax credit equity investment balances of $43.7 million were included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2024. Unfunded commitments of $7.1 million were included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2024.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, amortization expense of $0.8 million and $1.5 million, as well as, tax credits and other tax benefits of $0.9 million and $1.8 million were recognized in income tax expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. No impairment losses were recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Prior to the adoption of ASU 2023-02, the cost method was used to account for our investments in tax credit equity investments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 amortization expense of $0.5 million and $1.0 million was included in other expense.
Further, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, tax credits of $0.9 million and $1.1 million were recognized as a reduction to income tax expense on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Other tax benefits of $3.0 million were included in deferred tax assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2023.
In the normal course of business, we offer off-balance sheet credit arrangements to enable our customers to meet their financing objectives. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Our exposure to credit loss, in the event the customer does not satisfy the terms of the agreement, equals the contractual amount of the obligation less the value of any collateral. We apply the same credit policies in making commitments and standby letters of credit that are used for the underwriting of loans to customers. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates, annual renewals or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Loan Commitments
We maintain an ACL on unfunded commercial and consumer lending commitments and letters of credit to provide for the risk of loss inherent in these arrangements. The allowance is computed using a methodology similar to that used to determine the ACL for loans, modified to take into account the probability of a draw-down on the commitment. The provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments is included in the provision for credit losses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The allowance for unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Litigation
In the normal course of business, we are subject to various legal and administrative proceedings and claims. While any type of litigation contains a level of uncertainty, we believe that the outcome of such proceedings or claims pending will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A, represents an overview of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition and highlights material changes in our financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes. The results of operations reported in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in future periods.
Important Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains or incorporates statements that we believe are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally relate to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, outlook for earnings, revenues, expenses, capital and liquidity levels and ratios, asset levels, asset quality, financial position and other matters regarding or affecting S&T and its future business and operations. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “will likely result,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “assume,” “strategy,” “trend,” “plan,” “outlook,” “outcome,” “continue,” “remain,” “potential,” “opportunity,” “comfortable,” “current,” “position,” “maintain,” “sustain,” “seek,” “achieve” and variations of such words and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as will, would, should, could or may. Although we believe the assumptions upon which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and the forward-looking statements based on these assumptions could be incorrect. The matters discussed in these forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and trends to differ materially from those made, projected or implied in or by the forward-looking statements depending on a variety of uncertainties or other factors including, but not limited to: credit losses and the credit risk of our commercial and consumer loan products; changes in the level of charge-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, or ACL; cyber-security concerns; rapid technological developments and changes; operational risks or risk management failures by us or critical third parties, including fraud risk; our ability to manage our reputational risks; sensitivity to the interest rate environment, a rapid increase in interest rates or a change in the shape of the yield curve; a change in spreads on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities; any remaining uncertainties with the transition from LIBOR as a reference rate; regulatory supervision and oversight, including changes in regulatory capital requirements and our ability to address those requirements; unanticipated changes in our liquidity position; unanticipated changes in regulatory and governmental policies impacting interest rates and financial markets; changes in accounting policies, practices or guidance; legislation affecting the financial services industry as a whole, and S&T, in particular; developments affecting the industry and the soundness of financial institutions and further disruption to the economy and U.S. banking system; the outcome of pending and future litigation and governmental proceedings; increasing price and product/service competition; the ability to continue to introduce competitive new products and services on a timely, cost-effective basis; managing our internal growth and acquisitions; the possibility that the anticipated benefits from acquisitions cannot be fully realized in a timely manner or at all, or that integrating the acquired operations will be more difficult, disruptive or costly than anticipated; containing costs and expenses; reliance on significant customer relationships; an interruption or cessation of an important service by a third-party provider; our ability to attract and retain talented executives and employees; general economic or business conditions, including the strength of regional economic conditions in our market area; ESG practices and disclosures, including climate change, hiring practices, the diversity of the work force, and racial and social justice issues; deterioration of the housing market and reduced demand for mortgages; deterioration in the overall macroeconomic conditions or the state of the banking industry that could warrant further analysis of the carrying value of goodwill and could result in an adjustment to its carrying value resulting in a non-cash charge to net income; the stability of our core deposit base and access to contingency funding; re-emergence of turbulence in significant portions of the global financial and real estate markets that could impact our performance, both directly, by affecting our revenues and the value of our assets and liabilities, and indirectly, by affecting the economy generally and access to capital in the amounts, at the times and on the terms required to support our future businesses and geopolitical tensions and conflicts between nations.
Many of these factors, as well as other factors, are described elsewhere in this report, and in our 2023 Form 10-K, including Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors and any of our subsequent filings with the SEC. Forward-looking statements are based on beliefs and assumptions using information available at the time the statements are made. We caution you not to unduly rely on forward-looking statements because the assumptions, beliefs, expectations and projections about future events may, and often do, differ materially from actual results. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as to the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect developments occurring after the statement is made.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We view critical accounting policies to be those which are highly dependent on subjective or complex estimates, assumptions and judgments and where changes in those estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Further, we view critical accounting estimates as those estimates made in accordance with GAAP that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Our critical accounting policies and estimates as of June 30, 2024 remained unchanged from the disclosures presented in our 2023 Form 10-K under Part II, Item 7 - “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to traditional financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, our management uses, and this report contains or references, certain non-GAAP financial measures discussed below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding our underlying business, operational performance and performance trends as they facilitate comparisons with the performance of other companies in the financial services industry. Although we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable with non-GAAP measures which may be presented by other companies.
The interest income on interest-earning assets, net interest income and net interest margin are presented on an FTE basis (non-GAAP). The FTE basis (non-GAAP) adjusts for the tax benefit of income on certain tax-exempt loans and securities and the dividend-received deduction for equity securities using the federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent for each period. We believe this to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income that provides a relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable sources of interest income.
The following table reconciles interest and dividend income and net interest income per the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income to interest income, net interest income and net interest margin on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) for the periods presented:
Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(1) Reconciled to GAAP in the "Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this MD&A.
We recognized net income of $34.4 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to net income of $34.5 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, for the same period in 2023 and net income of $65.6 million, or $1.70 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Net interest income decreased $4.5 million, or 5.14 percent, and $9.8 million, or 5.56 percent, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. Net interest margin, or NIM, on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) decreased 37 and 43 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. The decreases in both net interest income and NIM on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) were primarily due to the impact of higher interest rates on total interest-bearing liabilities compared to the same period in 2023. NIM is reconciled to net interest margin adjusted to an FTE basis (non-GAAP) in the "Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this MD&A.
The provision for credit losses decreased $10.1 million and $8.5 million to $0.4 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $10.5 million and $11.5 million for the same periods in 2023. The decrease in the provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 is mainly attributed to lower net charge-offs and reductions in our criticized and classified loans, resulting in a decrease in the quantitative reserve.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Noninterest income had a slight decrease of $0.9 million, or 6.24 percent, and $1.2 million or 4.55 percent, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. During the second quarter of 2024, our participation in the Visa exchange offer for Visa Class B-1 common stock resulted in a fair value adjustment of $3.2 million in other income. During this same period, a loss on the sale of securities of $3.2 million was recognized related to the repositioning of $49.0 million of securities into longer duration, higher-yielding securities.
Noninterest expense increased $4.0 million, or 8.01 percent, and $6.8 million, or 6.71 percent, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. The most significant increase in noninterest expense related to salaries and employee benefits which increased $5.0 million and $6.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 due to annual merit increases, inflationary wage pressure, the acquisition of new talent, higher incentives and medical costs.
Our effective tax rate was 19.8 percent and 20.0 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 18.2 percent and 18.8 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to the adoption of the PAM related to tax credit equity investments on January 1, 2024.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
Net Interest Income
Our principal source of revenue is net interest income. Net interest income represents the difference between the interest and fees earned on interest-earning assets and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is affected by changes in the average balance of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and changes in interest rates and spreads. The level and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities is managed by our Asset and Liability Committee, or ALCO, in order to mitigate interest rate and liquidity risks of the balance sheet. A variety of ALCO strategies were implemented, within prescribed ALCO risk parameters, to produce what we believe is an acceptable level of net interest income.

(1) Tax-exempt interest income is on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) using the statutory federal corporate income tax rate of 21 percent.
(2) Taxable investment income is adjusted for the dividend-received deduction for equity securities.
(3) Nonaccruing loans are included in the daily average loan amounts outstanding.
Net interest income on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) decreased $4.5 million, or 5.1 percent, and $9.7 million, or 5.4 percent, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. The net interest margin, or NIM, on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) decreased 37 and 43 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. The decreases in both net interest income and NIM on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) were primarily due to the impact of higher interest rates on total interest-bearing liabilities. While higher interest rates positively impacted interest income and rates on interest-earning assets, it was more than offset by higher interest expense and rates on interest-bearing liabilities. Additionally, there was a significant shift in the funding mix to higher costing money market and certificates of deposit accounts.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Interest income on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) increased $11.5 million and $28.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. The increase in interest income on an FTE basis (non-GAAP) was primarily due to higher interest rates on interest-earning assets. Average loan balances increased $395.5 million and $431.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. The average yield on loan balances increased 28 and 36 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 due to higher interest rates. Overall, the FTE rate (non-GAAP) on interest-earning assets increased 30 and 39 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023.
Interest expense increased $16.0 million and $38.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher interest rates, a shift in our customer deposit mix to higher costing products and higher deposit volume. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $731.2 million and $710.1 million, of which $331.5 million and $354.6 million was brokered deposits, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. Average borrowings decreased $266.1 million and $145.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily due to increased deposit balances. Overall, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 92 and 111 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023.
The following table sets forth for the periods presented a summary of the changes in interest earned and interest paid resulting from changes in volume and changes in rates:

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses includes a provision for losses on loans and on unfunded commitments. The provision for credit losses fluctuates based on changes in loan balances, risk ratings, net loan charge-offs/recoveries, the macro environment and our Current Expected Credit Loss, or CECL, forecast. The provision for credit losses decreased $10.1 million and $8.5 million to $0.4 million and $3.0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $10.5 million and $11.5 million for the same periods in 2023. The decrease in the provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to lower net charge-offs. The decrease in the provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to reductions in our special mention and substandard loans, which lowered the quantitative reserve. Partially offsetting the decrease in the provision for credit losses was the addition of $3.6 million of specific reserves for loans individually evaluated related to two commercial relationships, which occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Additionally, the provision for credit losses included reductions of $0.5 million and $1.3 million for the reserve for unfunded commitments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to an increase of $1.9 million and $1.7 million for the same periods in 2023.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we had net loan recoveries of $0.4 million and net loan charge-offs of $6.2 million compared to net loan charge-offs of $11.0 million and $5.9 million for the same periods in 2023. The $0.4 million of net loan recoveries during the three months ended June 30, 2024 was the result of loan charge-offs of $0.8 million, which was offset by recoveries of $1.2 million. The most significant charge-off during the six months ended June 30, 2024 related to a $16.3 million CRE relationship that had a $3.2 million charge-off. Offsetting loan charge-offs of $16.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was a $9.3 million recovery related to a 2020 customer fraud. Refer to the "Allowance for Credit Losses" section of this MD&A for further details.

Noninterest income decreased $0.9 million and $1.2 million to $13.3 million and $26.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. Other noninterest income increased $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to a fair value adjustment of $3.2 million from the Visa exchange offer for Visa Class B-1 common stock, offset by a gain on OREO of $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2023. A loss on the sale of securities of $3.2 million was recognized during the second quarter of 2024 related to the repositioning of $49.0 million of securities into longer duration higher-yielding securities.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Noninterest expense increased $4.0 million to $53.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and increased $6.8 million to $108.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. Salaries and employee benefits increased for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 due to higher salary expense related to annual merit increases, inflationary wage pressure, the acquisition of new talent, higher incentives and medical costs. Other noninterest expense decreased $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the adoption of PAM. Amortization expense related to tax credit equity investments is included in income tax expense for 2024, while included in noninterest expense for 2023, Professional services and legal expense decreased $0.7 million for the three months and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to expiring consulting engagements and a decrease in legal expenses. Furniture, equipment and software increased $0.2 million for the three months and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to software and technology investments. Data processing and information technology increased $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to additional services provided through our third party vendor.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes increased $0.8 million to $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and decreased $0.8 million to $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $7.7 million and $17.2 million for the same periods in 2023. The increase in our income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to the adoption of the PAM on January 1, 2024. The decrease in our income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a $9.5 million decrease in income before taxes that was partially offset by the adoption of PAM in 2024 compared to 2023.
The effective tax rate, which is total tax expense as a percentage of income before taxes, was 19.8 percent and 20.0 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 18.2 percent and 18.8 percent in the same periods in 2023. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to the adoption of the PAM related to tax credit equity investments on January 1, 2024. Under the PAM, amortization expense related to tax credit equity investments is included in income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and included in other noninterest expense for the same periods in 2023.
Financial Condition as of June 30, 2024
Total assets were $9.6 billion at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Total portfolio loans remained relatively unchanged at $7.7 billion at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Loan volume has slowed due to higher interest rates and an uncertain macro environment. Securities remained unchanged at $1.0 billion at June 30, 2024 andDecember 31, 2023. The bond portfolio was in a net unrealized loss position of $84.6 million at June 30, 2024, compared to a net unrealized loss position of $82.0 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in the net unrealized loss position of the bond portfolio of $2.6 million was primarily due to changes in interest rates.
Total deposits increased $158.6 million with customer deposits increasing $232.9 million, or 3.26 percent, at June 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023. The increase in customer deposits is the result of our continued focus on the deposit franchise. The pace of customers moving deposits to higher costing deposit types has moderated compared to the prior year. Total borrowings decreased $140.2 million, or 27.84 percent, to $363.4 million at June 30, 2024 primarily due to deposit growth, compared to $503.6 million at December 31, 2023.
Total shareholders’ equity increased by $38.0 million to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to net income of $65.6 million, offset by dividends of $25.3 million and other comprehensive loss of $3.0 million.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We invest in various securities in order to maintain a source of liquidity, to satisfy various pledging requirements, to increase net interest income and as a tool of ALCO to reposition the balance sheet for interest rate risk purposes. Securities are subject to market risks that could negatively affect the level of liquidity available to us. Security purchases are subject to an investment policy approved annually by our Board of Directors and administered through ALCO and our treasury function. Securities increased by $7.6 million at June 30, 2024 to $978.0 million, compared to $970.4 million at December 31, 2023. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we repositioned $49.0 million of our securities portfolio, selling shorter duration U.S. Treasury securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities and replacing them with collateralized mortgage obligations with a longer duration and higher yield.
At June 30, 2024, our bond portfolio was in a net unrealized loss position of $84.6 million compared to a net unrealized loss position of $82.0 million at December 31, 2023. At June 30, 2024, our bond portfolio had gross unrealized losses of $85.1 million and $0.5 million in gross unrealized gains, compared to December 31, 2023, when total gross unrealized losses were $83.8 million offset by gross unrealized gains of $1.8 million.

The loan portfolio represents the most significant source of interest income for us. The risk that borrowers will be unable to pay such obligations is inherent in the loan portfolio. Other conditions, such as downturns in the borrower’s industry or the overall economic climate, can significantly impact the borrower’s ability to pay.
Total portfolio loans were $7.7 billion at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, 64 percent of our total loans were variable rate loans and 36 percent were fixed rate loans, compared to 65 percent variable rate and 35 percent fixed rate at December 31, 2023. Commercial loans, including CRE, C&I and commercial construction, comprised 69.2 percent of total portfolio loans at June 30, 2024 and 70.1 percent at December 31, 2023. The commercial loan portfolio decreased $24.0 million at June 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023, primarily due to a decrease of $30.9 million in C&I, offset by an increase of $16.8 million in commercial construction. Loan volume has slowed due to higher interest rates and an uncertain macro environment.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our multifamily and office segments are the most significant CRE and commercial construction concentrations within our portfolio. Approximately 95 percent of multifamily and 90 percent of office CRE loans are located within our market area, which includes Pennsylvania and the contiguous states of Ohio, New York, West Virginia, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland.
In the CRE segment, multifamily represented $605.4 million, or 7.8 percent of total portfolio loans, at June 30, 2024, compared to $569.4 million, or 7.4 percent, at December 31, 2023. The average loan size of multifamily CRE is $1.0 million, with an average loan-to-value of 58 percent. There were no special mention loans and $6.9 million of substandard loans in the multifamily CRE segment at June 30, 2024, compared to special mention loans of $3.8 million and substandard loans of $13.0 million at December 31, 2023. There were no nonperforming multi-family loans at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Office CRE was $462.4 million, or 6.0 percent of total portfolio loans, at June 30, 2024, compared to $480.5 million, or 6.3 percent, at December 31, 2023. The average loan size of office CRE is $1.1 million, with an average loan-to-value of 56 percent. Special mention loans in the office CRE segment were $16.0 million and substandard loans were $2.1 million at June 30, 2024, compared to special mention loans of $9.1 million and substandard loans of $2.5 million at December 31, 2023. There was $0.4 million of nonperforming office loans at June 30, 2024 and $0.5 million at December 31, 2023.
In addition, within the commercial construction segment, multifamily represented $130.7 million, or 1.7 percent of total portfolio loans, at June 30, 2024, compared to $119.0 million, or 1.6 percent, at December 31, 2023. Commercial construction office was $28.7 million, or 0.4 percent of total portfolio loans, at June 30, 2024, compared to $36.0 million, or 0.5 percent, at December 31, 2023. There were no special mention or substandard commercial construction loans within our multifamily or office segments for the periods presented.
Consumer loans represent 30.8 percent of our total portfolio loans at June 30, 2024 and 29.9 percent at December 31, 2023. The consumer loan portfolio increased $84.2 million at June 30, 2024, primarily due to growth in our consumer real estate portfolio of $96.4 million compared to December 31, 2023. Consistent with 2023, we continue to retain consumer real estate loans on our balance sheet as portfolio loans, versus selling these loans due to the loan pricing in the secondary market.
Allowance for Credit Losses
We maintain an ACL at a level determined to be adequate to absorb estimated expected credit losses within the loan portfolio over the contractual life of an instrument that considers our historical loss experience, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions as of the balance sheet date. We develop and document a systematic ACL methodology based on the following portfolio segments: 1) CRE, 2) C&I, 3) Commercial Construction, 4) Business Banking, 5) Consumer Real Estate and 6) Other Consumer. Refer to Part 1. Financial Information, Note 5 Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses for details on our portfolio segments.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The ACL was $106.2 million, or 1.38 percent of total portfolio loans, at June 30, 2024, compared to $108.0 million, or 1.41 percent of total portfolio loans, at December 31, 2023. The decrease in the ACL of $1.8 million was primarily related to decreased exposure in our healthcare portfolio, which was partially offset by the addition of $3.6 million in specific reserves for loans individually assessed related to two commercial customers during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Substandard loans decreased $33.9 million to $139.4 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $173.3 million at December 31, 2023. The decrease in substandard loans was primarily due to loan payoffs and commercial charge-offs. Special mention loans decreased $16.1 million to $119.7 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $135.8 million at December 31, 2023. The decrease in special mention loans was primarily due to risk rating upgrades in our CRE healthcare portfolio.
Our allowance on unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit provide for the risk of expected loss in these arrangements. The allowance is computed using a methodology similar to that used to determine the ACL for loans, modified to take into account the probability of a draw-down on the commitment. The provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments is included in the provision for credit losses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The allowance for unfunded loan commitments decreased $1.3 million to $5.5 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $6.8 million at December 31, 2023. The decrease was due to decreased loss rates and a reduction in unused commitments in our construction portfolio. The allowance for unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Nonperforming assets, or NPA's, consist of nonaccrual loans and OREO. The following represents NPA's as of the dates presented:

Our policy is to place loans in all categories in nonaccrual status when collection of interest or principal is doubtful, or generally when interest or principal payments are 90 days or more past the contractual due date. Nonaccrual loans increased $12.0 million to $34.9 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $22.9 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in nonaccrual loans primarily related to the addition of a $16.3 million CRE relationship, which had a $3.2 million partial charge-off during the three months ended March 31, 2024. A specific reserve of $2.9 million was added for this relationship during the three months ended June 30, 2024 based on uncertainty surrounding a potential sale of the company. Partially offsetting the increase in nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2024 was the payoff of a $5.9 million CRE loan and a $3.4 million CRE loan was returned to accruing status.
Deposits
Deposits are our primary source of funds. We have a well-diversified deposit base with a balance mix of 58.4 percent personal, 32.9 percent business, 4.8 percent public funds and 3.9 percent brokered at June 30, 2024.

Our total deposits increased $158.6 million at June 30, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023. Customer deposits increased $232.9 million compared to December 31, 2023, as a result of our focus on growing our deposit franchise. While we are still seeing movement by customers to higher cost certificates of deposit and money market accounts, the rate of customers moving deposits to higher costing deposit types has moderated compared to the prior year.
As a member of the IntraFi network, we are able to offer our customers insurance coverage on interest-bearing demand, money market and certificates of deposit balances in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. IntraFi balances decreased $5.6 million to $272.1 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $277.7 million at December 31, 2023. We had total uninsured deposits of $2.5 billion, or 32 percent of our total deposit base, at June 30, 2024 compared to $2.3 billion, or 30 percent or our total deposit base, at December 31, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is defined as a financial institution’s ability to meet its cash and collateral obligations at a reasonable cost. Our primary future cash needs are centered on the ability to (i) satisfy the financial needs of depositors who may want to withdraw funds or of borrowers needing to access funds to meet their credit needs and (ii) to meet our future cash commitments under contractual obligations with third parties. In order to manage liquidity risk, our Board of Directors has delegated authority to ALCO for the formulation, implementation and oversight of liquidity risk management for S&T. The ALCO’s goal is to maintain adequate levels of liquidity at a reasonable cost to meet funding needs in both a normal operating environment and for potential liquidity stress events. The ALCO monitors and manages liquidity through various ratios, reviewing cash flow projections, performing stress tests and having a detailed contingency funding plan. The ALCO policy guidelines define graduated risk tolerance levels. If our liquidity position moves to a level that has been defined as high risk, specific actions are required, such as increased monitoring or the development of an action plan to reduce the risk position.
Our primary funding and liquidity source is a stable customer deposit base. We believe S&T has the ability to retain existing deposits and attract new deposits, mitigating any funding dependency on other more volatile funding sources. Refer to the "Financial Condition as of June 30, 2024 - Deposits" section of this MD&A, for additional discussion on deposits. Although deposits are the primary source of funds, we have identified various other funding sources that can be used as part of our normal funding program. Additional funding sources accessible to S&T include borrowing availability at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, or FHLB, federal funds lines with other financial institutions and the brokered deposit market. We also have availability at the Federal Reserve Discount Window through the Borrower-in-Custody Program.
In response to the bank failures in March 2023, the Federal Reserve authorized additional funding availability to eligible depository institutions through the Federal Reserve Bank Term Funding Program, or BTFP. The temporary program was intended to help assure depositors that their institutions have an additional source of liquidity to meet their needs. Under the program, any collateral eligible for purchase by the Federal Reserve Banks in open market operations could be pledged, including U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Agencies and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities. Collateral advances were equal to 100 percent of the par value of the collateral pledged with a term of up to one year. Interest was charged at a fixed rate equal to the one-year overnight index swap rate plus 10 basis points with no prepayment penalty. The BTFP ceased making new fundings on March 11, 2024.

(1) Program created by the Federal Reserve in March 2023, new loans under the program ended March 11, 2024.
We have contractual obligations representing required future payments on certificates of deposit, junior subordinated debt securities, short-term borrowings, long-term borrowings, operating and capital leases, funding commitments on tax credit equity investments and purchase obligations. See the Liquidity and Capital Resources portion of our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2023 Form 10-K for more information on these future cash outflows. Total certificates of deposit increased $187.5 million to $1.8 billion at June 30, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023 and short-term borrowings decreased $140.0 million to $275.0 million at June 30, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023. Other than these changes, there have been no material changes to the contractual obligations previously disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K.
An important component of our ability to effectively respond to potential liquidity stress events is maintaining a cushion of highly liquid assets. Highly liquid assets are those that can be converted to cash quickly to meet financial obligations. ALCO policy guidelines define a ratio of highly liquid assets to total assets by graduated risk tolerance levels of minimal, moderate and high. At June 30, 2024, S&T Bank had $742.3 million in highly liquid assets, which consisted primarily of $172.2 million in interest-bearing deposits with banks and $569.9 million in unpledged securities. This resulted in a highly liquid assets to total assets ratio of 7.7 percent at June 30, 2024.
We continue to maintain a strong capital position with our leverage ratio at 11.51 percent at June 30, 2024, compared to 11.21 percent at December 31, 2023, both in excess of the well-capitalized regulatory guideline of 5.00 percent. We continue to be well-capitalized with a risk-based Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 13.89 percent at June 30, 2024, compared to 13.37 percent at December 31, 2023, both in excess of the well-capitalized regulatory guideline of 6.50 percent.

On March 27, 2020, the regulators issued interim final rule, or IFR, “Regulatory Capital Rule: Revised Transition of the Current Expected Credit Losses Methodology for Allowances” in response to the disrupted economic activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The IFR provides financial institutions that adopted CECL during 2020 with the option to delay for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period to phase out the aggregate amount of the capital benefit provided by the initial two-year delay (“five-year transition”). We adopted CECL effective January 1, 2020 and elected to implement the five-year transition.
We have filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with the SEC, which allows for the issuance of a variety of securities including debt and capital securities, preferred and common stock and warrants. We may use the proceeds from the sale of securities for general corporate purposes, which could include investments at the holding company level, investing in, or extending credit to subsidiaries, possible acquisitions and stock repurchases. As of June 30, 2024, we had not issued any securities pursuant to this shelf registration statement.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is defined as the degree to which changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices or equity prices can adversely affect a financial institution’s earnings or capital. For most financial institutions, including S&T, market risk primarily reflects exposures to changes in interest rates. Interest rate fluctuations affect earnings by changing net interest income and other interest-sensitive income and expense levels. Interest rate changes also affect capital by changing the net present value of a bank’s future cash flows, and the cash flows themselves, as rates change. Accepting this risk is a normal part of banking and can be an important source of profitability and enhancing shareholder value. However, excessive interest rate risk can threaten a bank’s earnings, capital, liquidity and solvency. Our sensitivity to changes in interest rate movements is continually monitored by the ALCO. The ALCO monitors and manages market risk through rate shock analyses, economic value of equity, or EVE, analyses and by performing stress tests and simulations to mitigate earnings and market value fluctuations due to changes in interest rates.
Rate shock analyses results are compared to a base case to provide an estimate of the impact that market rate changes may have on 12 and 24 months of pretax net interest income. The base case and rate shock analyses are performed on a static balance sheet. A static balance sheet is a no growth balance sheet in which all maturing and/or repricing cash flows are reinvested in the same product at the existing product spread. Rate shock analyses assume an immediate parallel shift in market interest rates and also include management assumptions regarding the impact of interest rate changes on non-maturity deposit products (noninterest-bearing demand, interest-bearing demand, money market and savings) and changes in the prepayment behavior of loans and securities with optionality. S&T policy guidelines limit the change in pretax net interest income over 12 and 24 month horizons using rate shocks in increments of +/- 100 basis points. Policy guidelines define the percentage change in pretax net interest income by graduated risk tolerance levels of minimal, moderate and high.
In order to monitor interest rate risk beyond the 24 month time horizon of rate shocks on pretax net interest income, we also perform EVE analyses. EVE represents the present value of all asset cash flows minus the present value of all liability cash flows. EVE change results are compared to a base case to determine the impact that market rate changes may have on our EVE. As with rate shock analyses on pretax net interest income, EVE analyses incorporate management assumptions regarding prepayment behavior of fixed rate loans and securities with optionality and the behavior and value of non-maturity deposit products. S&T policy guidelines limit the change in EVE using rate shocks in increments of +/- 100 basis points. Policy guidelines define the percentage change in EVE by graduated risk tolerance levels of minimal, moderate and high.
The table below reflects the rate shock analyses results for the 1-12 and 13-24 month periods of pretax net interest income and EVE.

The results from the rate shock analyses on net interest income are consistent with having an asset sensitive balance sheet. Having an asset sensitive balance sheet means more assets than liabilities will reprice during the measured time frames. The implications of an asset sensitive balance sheet will differ depending upon the change in market interest rates. For example, with an asset sensitive balance sheet in a declining interest rate environment, more assets than liabilities will decrease in rate. This situation could result in a decrease in net interest income and operating income. Conversely, with an asset sensitive balance sheet in a rising interest rate environment, more assets than liabilities will increase in rate. This situation could result in an increase in net interest income and operating income.
Our rate shock analyses show larger changes in the percentage change in pretax net interest income in both the rates up and rates down scenarios when comparing June 30, 2024 to December 31, 2023 primarily due to lower levels of short term borrowings and brokered deposits that contribute to a higher level of asset sensitivity. Our EVE analyses remain relatively unchanged in the rates up scenarios. The percentage change in our EVE show improvement in rates down scenarios when comparing June 30, 2024 to December 31, 2023. These changes are mainly the result of changes to our funding mix.
In addition to rate shocks and EVE analyses, we perform a market risk stress test at least annually. The market risk stress test includes sensitivity analyses and simulations. Sensitivity analyses are performed to help us identify which model assumptions cause the greatest impact on pretax net interest income. Sensitivity analyses may include changing prepayment behavior of loans and securities with optionality and the impact of interest rate changes on non-maturity deposit products. Simulation analyses may include the potential impact of rate changes other than the policy guidelines, yield curve shape changes, significant balance mix changes and various growth scenarios.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of S&T’s Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of S&T’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to S&T’s management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on and as of the date of such evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in all material respects, as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, there were no changes made to S&T’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, S&T’s internal control over financial reporting.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors that we have previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A – “Risk Factors” in our 2023 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2024.

(1) On January 24, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a new $50 million share repurchase plan. The new plan replaced the existing share repurchase plan effective immediately and is set to expire May 30, 2025. This repurchase authorization permits S&T to repurchase shares of S&T's common stock from time to time through a combination of open market and privately negotiated repurchases up to the authorized $50 million aggregate value of S&T's common stock. The specific timing, price and quantity of repurchases will be at the discretion of S&T and will depend on a variety of factors, including general market conditions, the trading price of the common stock, legal and contractual requirements and S&T’s financial performance. The repurchase plan does not obligate S&T to repurchase any particular number of shares. S&T expects to fund any repurchases from cash on hand and internally generated funds. Any share repurchases will not begin until permissible under applicable laws.
