The Company was able to grow its loans and deposits within its targeted growth range and further grow its banking fee and other income, while keeping operating costs in line with its planned expansion. Although the growth in deposits and loans has met HWFG's expectations, overall earnings growth has been influenced by (1) the reduction of the investment portfolio and other borrowings, and (2) the re-pricing lag in some securities and loans (lagging Lagging
