Shareholders, Clients, and Team Members:
I am pleased to report that, as a direct result of the ongoing efforts of the Company's dedicated team members, your Company reported positive results for the three- and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2024. The third quarter improvements include net income of $0.83 per share, income before taxes of $2.7 million, return on average assets of 0.83%, and return on average tangible equity of 14.96%, which all were increases as compared to the same period in 2023. Year-to-date results include income before taxes of $6.6 million, return on average assets of 0.73%, and return on average tangible equity of 12.85%.
We reported significant growth of $154 million and $149 million in our deposit and cash positions, respectively. Of those increases, $100 million was from the Ohio Treasurer through the Bank's participation in the Treasurer's Ohio Homebuyer Plus program. We expect the Treasurer's deposits to reduce throughout 2025 and land around $30 million by the end of 2025. Additionally, the Company reported a 2.53% annualized growth in loans during the first nine months of 2024.
I am also pleased to report that the Board of Directors declared a $0.22 per common share dividend payable December 16, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 29, 2024. The dividend is 27% of the reported net income for the third quarter of 2024.
