Farm Credit East posted strong financial results for the nine months ending September 30, 2023. Net income was $201.2 million, a decrease of $6.2 million as compared with the same period in 2022 driven by a non-recurring $39.8 million reversal recorded in 2022 to the allowance for loan losses. The 2023 earnings reflect the favorable impact of increased loan volume year over year with net interest income increasing $28.1 million, along with continued stable operating expenses. The Association did record a $2.5 million provision for loan losses for the nine months ending September 30, 2023, as compared to the $39.8 million reversal of loan losses for the same period, as discussed above and in the ‘Provision for Loan Losses and Allowance for Credit Losses’ section of this report.
