The Company ended the quarter with revenues, net income to common, and diluted EPS of $210.2M, $156.3M, and $1.49. This was a year over year increase of 65.4%, 148.5% and 23.2% respectively. This was primarily driven by the strong growth in average interest income on interest earning assets while interest cost on average interest-bearing liabilities declined. Given the current macro environment, we expect this performance to be sustainable.
