FINANCIAL FEES 10www.cassinfo.com / © 2024 Cass Information Systems + Financial fees declined $420,000 from Q3 2023 due to a 1.8% decline in transportation dollar volumes, which led to a lower average balance of payments in advance of funding, in addition to changes in the manner certain vendors receive payments. + The Company expects its new working capital solution and other initiatives to increase financial fees in future quarters. $9.3B $9.0B $8.9B $9.1B $9.1B Q3 '23 Q4 '23 Q1 '24 Q2 '24 Q3 '24 $5.10B $4.85B $5.33B $5.04B $5.78B Q3 '23 Q4 '23 Q1 '24 Q2 '24 Q3 '24 $234.7M $209.4M $194.3M $213.2M $203.0M Q3 '23 Q4 '23 Q1 '24 Q2 '24 Q3 '24 TRANSPORTATION DOLLAR VOLUMES FACILITY DOLLAR VOLUMES AVERAGE PAYMENTS IN ADVANCE OF FUNDING $11.6M $11.5M $10.8M $10.6M $11.2M Q3 '23 Q4 '23 Q1 '24 Q2 '24 Q3 '24 FINANCIAL FEES


 
PROCESSING FEES 11www.cassinfo.com / © 2024 Cass Information Systems + The change quarter to quarter is generally correlated to transportation and facility invoice volumes. + Processing fees increased 0.6% as compared to 3Q 2023 primarily due to a 26.3% increase in facility invoice volumes, partially offset by a decrease in ancillary processing fees unrelated to transaction volumes, such as implementation fees. 8.93M 8.73M 8.77M 8.88M 9.16M Q3 '23 Q4 '23 Q1 '24 Q2 '24 Q3 '24 3.42M 3.51M 4.26M 4.34M 4.32M Q3 '23 Q4 '23 Q1 '24 Q2 '24 Q3 '24 $19.9M $20.7M $21.3M $21.1M $20.1M Q3 '23 Q4 '23 Q1 '24 Q2 '24 Q3 '24 TRANSPORTATION INVOICE VOLUMES FACILITY INVOICE VOLUMES PROCESSING FEES


 
NET INTEREST INCOME 12www.cassinfo.com / © 2024 Cass Information Systems + The net interest margin (NIM) improved 31 basis points from Q3 2023 largely driven by an increase in the weighted average yield on loans to 5.40% from 4.88%. The increase in NIM led to a 6.5% increase in net interest income. + The recent and expected continued decline in the Federal Funds rate could hinder continued net interest margin expansion in the short-term, but higher 3-10 year U.S. Treasury rates would be expected to benefit the Company over the longer-term as fixed rate loans and investments re-price to current market interest rates. $16.5M $17.0M $16.5M $15.9M $17.6M Q3 '23 Q4 '23 Q1 '24 Q2 '24 Q3 '24 $2.06B $2.08B $2.06B $1.96B $2.00B Q3 '23 Q4 '23 Q1 '24 Q2 '24 Q3 '24 3.24% 3.30% 3.26% 3.32% 3.55% Q3 '23 Q4 '23 Q1 '24 Q2 '24 Q3 '24 NET INTEREST INCOME AVERAGE INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS NET INTEREST MARGIN


 
PERSONNEL EXPENSE 13www.cassinfo.com / © 2024 Cass Information Systems + Salaries and commissions have stabilized and are expected to decline in future quarters as a result of a reduction in the full-time employee count. + Employee profit sharing declined commensurate with the decline in net income. + The Company announced its intent to terminate its noncontributory defined-benefit pension plan. The termination is expected to result in one-time expenses of approximately $4-6 million during Q4 2024 but decrease run-rate operating expense by approximately $1.0 million on an annual basis. + FTEs declined 2.6% from June 30, 2024 to September 30, 2024 and are expected to continue to decline in future quarters.
