During the quarter, our fee‑based businesses demonstrated resilience in a volatile market environment, with fee revenue exceeding three of the past four quarters. Expenses declined meaningfully, reflecting our continued focus on managing our core cost structure. We’re off to a strong start and well positioned for growth as the year progresses."

Brokerage and trading revenue decreased $3.7 million to $43.6 million. Investment banking revenue decreased $4.1 million driven by lower syndication fees and municipal underwriting activity, primarily due to seasonality and volume of transactions. Trading fees and commissions revenue decreased $1.6 million, primarily due to a shift from fee revenue to net interest income on trading securities. Customer hedging revenue grew $1.1 million, as our energy customers increased hedging activity in response to the rapid rise in crude oil prices during the quarter.

Other revenue decreased $2.0 million, largely due to a reduction in fees earned on derivative counterparty margin.

The fourth quarter included higher incentive compensation expenses, primarily driven by strong results in both commercial and wealth production volumes.

Deferred compensation expense was $182 thousand, a decrease of $2.2 million compared to the prior quarter. Employee benefits expense increased $1.5 million due to a seasonal increase in payroll taxes, partially offset by lower employee healthcare costs.
