Well, thank you, Jericho, and thank you all very much for joining us this morning. And welcome to our 2024 second quarter earnings call. Joining me this morning is Keene Turner, EFSC’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer; Scott Goodman, President of Enterprise Bank & Trust; and Doug Bauche, Chief Credit Officer of Enterprise Bank & Trust.
Before we begin, I would like to remind everybody on the call that a copy of the release and accompanying presentation can be found on our website. The presentation and earnings release are furnished on SEC Form 8-K yesterday. Please refer to Slide 2 of the presentation titled Forward-Looking Statements and our most recent 10-K and 10-Q for reasons why actual results may vary from any forward-looking statements that we make today.
I’m very pleased with our second quarter results. Our business model, associate base and management team has been constructed to perform well in any economic environment and the results of the second quarter are a product of the great work that has done for the last several years. In the quarter, we were able to expand margin, grow net interest income, experience positive operating leverage and continue to significantly compound tangible book value per share.
Like we’ve stated during previous earnings calls and investor meetings, over the last several years, we have worked diligently to diversify our business model such that we do not have to depend on any one business, market or asset class to produce high quality and predictable earnings. Our second quarter financial performance is a result of this strategy and I’m confident that we can continue to perform at this level or better for the remainder of 2024.
