Marc Maun, chief credit officer, stated, "We continued to see a stable credit environment in the first quarter, with no segments of our loan portfolio showing any material signs of stress. We recognized net recoveries during the quarter, saw nonaccrual loans decrease by over ten percent, and have a combined allowance for credit losses to period��"end loans at or near the top of our peer group of mid-sized regional banks. After evaluating all credit factors, no provision for loan losses was booked for the first quarter. Looking forward, we are forecasting $15 million to $20 million provision for the full year.”
