We are encouraged by the results, and we will continue to challenge ourselves to manage both growth and efficiency."

The balance sheet remains robust with total assets slightly decreasing to $8.4 billion as of March 31, 2024, from $8.47 billion at the end of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower cash balances, somewhat offset by growth in loans. The total loan portfolio saw a modest increase, indicating ongoing business expansion and customer trust.
Overall, Nicolet Bankshares Inc's performance in the first quarter of 2024 positions it well for sustained growth and operational efficiency, making it a notable entity in the banking sector for investors and stakeholders alike.
