The Bancorp's third-quarter provision for credit losses was $3.48 million, compared with last year's $1.78 million. Net interest income was $93.7 million, 5% higher when compared with last year's $88.9 million.
The company said it expects 2024 earnings to be $4.35 a share, compared to the $4.38 a share expected by analysts.
The Bancorp also said planned stock buybacks for 2025 are being cut by $100 million from 2024 level to help pay for senior secured debt of $96 million.
