.34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by higher net interest income, partially offset by higher non-interest expense.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income was $167.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $138.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in net interest income of $29.3 million, or 21.19% (28.33% annualized), was due to investment and loan growth, coupled with the ESSA acquisition, including $3.4 million in purchase accounting loan accretion. 

Net interest margin was 3.57% and 3.40% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP measure, was 3.56% and 3.38% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The yield on earning assets of 5.87% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased 2 basis points from September 30, 2024. The decrease in yield compared to September 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to lower loan yields on variable and floating-rate loans following the Federal Reserve rate decreases totaling 125 basis points since mid-September 2024, partially offset by the $3.4 million in purchase accounting loan accretion.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The provision for credit losses was $24.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The $18.1 million increase in the provision expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily a result of the $16.4 million reserve established for non-PCD loans acquired in the ESSA acquisition, couple with loan portfolio growth.

Management believes the charges to the provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were appropriate and the allowance for credit losses was adequate to absorb current expected credit losses in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2025.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total non-interest income was $28.
