Diluted earnings per share also saw an 8.1% rise to $0.80. This growth was driven by strong loan expansion across all categories, robust performance in non-interest-bearing businesses, and sustained excellent asset quality. Total assets grew to $107.1 billion by September 30, 2005, an increase of 6.5% from year-end 2004, largely due to higher loan and securities portfolios. Deposits also saw a significant increase of 8.1% to $73.2 billion. The company's net interest margin, while slightly down year-over-year, still reflects favorable yields on its earning assets driven by a higher interest rate environment.
