"Our third quarter began with the in-market acquisition of TriSummit and ended with the seamless integration of our two banks in the East Tennessee marketplace," said Dana Stonestreet, chairman, president, and chief executive officer. "As expected, the acquisition costs have reduced earnings for the quarter, but with all significant expenditures behind us and additional cost-saving measures already in place, we expect to finish the year with a strong fourth quarter. The cumulative impact of the foundation for growth we have built is driving year-to-date organic loan growth of 14% compared to 3.4% last year and driving the growth in checking accounts to $782 million or 38% of deposits. Combined with our highly accretive TriSummit acquisition, we are accelerating our path to higher levels of revenue, earnings per share, and shareholder value," said Stonestreet.
