The average loan yield was 6.43% for the first quarter of 2025, which was unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2024. The flat loan yield was impacted by a few factors for the first quarter of 2025. Approximately 41% of the loan portfolio is adjustable, therefore the Federal Reserve rate cuts in mid-December 2024 impacted the full quarter in 2025. The net loan yield was lower by approximately 2 bps, or $155,000, for the quarter due to two loan relationships transferring to nonaccrual during the first quarter of 2025. In addition, yields on loans were impacted by higher rates on new loans and loans paying off at lower rates. We experienced growth in commercial real estate loans for the current quarter across our Houston and Northshore markets and in multi-family residential loans across our New Orleans and Northshore markets.
