- Net interest income of $97.2 million, surpassing the analysts' consensus of $95.75 million, marking a year-on-year growth of 4.9%.
- A net interest margin of 2.8%, in line with analysts' expectations.
- Overall revenue of $162 million, which exceeded the S&P analysts' consensus of $160.9 million by 0.7%.

- Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.58, beating expectations of $1.57.
- Tangible book value per share of $25.32, falling short of the estimate of $26.88, but showing a 1% year-on-year growth.

The growth in revenue was driven primarily by net interest income and fee-based revenue, with net interest income constituting approximately 70.7% of Butterfield Bank's total revenue over the past five years. While Butterfield's annualized revenue growth of 5% over the last two years aligns with its five-year trend, it reflects a consistent demand that remains underwhelming compared to broader banking sector performance.
Overall, market observers note the importance of net interest income growth in evaluating a bank's performance, as non-interest income is often seen as less stable.
