Reconciliations for these numbers are contained within the appendix of the presentation. I'd now like to turn the call over to Jim Ryan for opening remarks. Mr. Ryan.
Thank you, Norm. Good morning. We are pleased to discuss our outstanding third quarter results and update you on our transformational merger. We completed our systems conversion and branding changes during the quarter. Internally, we have branded our merger as Better Together, and these last two quarters of strong results demonstrate how we are truly better together to all stakeholders. I also want to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank our team members for their hard work and dedication to serving our clients, communities, and su pporting one another throughout this process. Let's start on slide four. We reported GAAP earnings for the third quarter of $0.47 per share. The third quarter included pre-tax charges of $23 million in merger expenses. Excluding these charges from the quarter, adjusted EPS was $0.51 per common share. This quarter's adjusted EPS was almost 11% higher than the second quarter.
Our adjusted return on average tangible common equity and assets were a strong 23% and 1.35% respectively, and our adjusted efficiency ratio was a low 51%, which is the best efficiency ratio I can remember in my 20-year+ career at Old National. Our focused execution on our merger, strong deposit franchise, and growing commercial business drove these robust results and leading returns. We saw higher balances in every portfolio in most markets across our commercial business. Total loan growth was 14%, and the commercial business grew 17% on an annualized basis. The higher loan growth paired with the benefit of a strong deposit franchise contributed to a 38 basis points margin expansion. Our commercial pipeline ended at a strong $5.4 billion. Overall, credit quality remains strong, and we continue to be diligent giving the increasing economic uncertainties.
However, corporate balance sheets remain solid, and personal clients retain higher saving rates than we saw in previous cycles. We were pleased to grow deposits slowly quarter-over-quarter while maintaining our deposit pricing discipline with just a 5% deposit beta. A quick update on hiring. We successfully welcomed 25 new client-facing commercial and wealth management relationship managers during the quarter. Our talent pipeline remains robust, and we will continue to make these strategic investments. We recently expanded our wealth presence with a new office in Nashville, Tennessee, hiring seven wealth management professionals. The experienced team will be led by Steve Cook, who will also serve as our market president, and the office will operate under our new 1834 high net worth wealth management brand. This was a fantastic opportunity, and we are already adding new clients to the bank.
Over time, we will look to expand and offer other banking services to this high-growth, dynamic market. This further expansion built upon last year's strategic investment in a high-net-worth team in Scottsdale, Arizona. We were also pleased to announce the hiring of Brent Tischler as our Community Banking CEO. Brent is responsible for all consumer and retail banking segments. I'm excited about his extensive knowledge and experience in leading consumer and small business segments, as well as the optimism, enthusiasm he brings to our organization. In early December, we will implement several enhancements to our overdraft protection programs to provide clients with more flexibility. The changes will include eliminating the NSF fee, and we believe our program will be consistent with current best practices.
In closing, we will continue to demonstrate the strength of our expanded franchise with commercial loan growth for the third quarter of nearly 17%, significant improvement to our net interest margin because of our deposit franchise, and continued strong credit, capital, and efficiency metrics. As we look forward, we expect the loan portfolios to continue to grow, margins to continue to expand driven by our below-peer deposit cost, organic growth of our wealth management client base, disciplined expense management, and continued savings from our merger synergies and strong relative credit metrics. I believe we are well-positioned to withstand any of the challenges that lie ahead. Thank you. I will now turn the call over to Brendon.
Thanks, Jim. Turning to quarter results on slide five, we reported GAAP net income applicable to common shares of $136 million, or $0.47 per share. Reported earnings were impacted by $23 million in merger-related charges. Excluding these charges as well as debt securities losses, our adjusted earnings per share was $0.51, up 19% year-over-year. Slide 6 shows the trend in total loan growth on a historical combined basis excluding PPP loans. Q3 represents our ninth consecutive quarter of organic loan growth, with total loans increasing 14% on an annualized basis. Commercial loans grew an annualized 17%, while consumer loans grew an annualized 7%, driven by residential mortgage. The investment portfolio decreased 6% quarter-over-quarter due to rate-related fair value adjustments and reinvestment of portfolio cash flows in support of loan growth.
We expect investment cash flows of $850 million over the next 12 months. Slide seven provides further details of our commercial loans and pipeline. The strong second quarter growth was well distributed with 17% annualized growth in C&I and 15% in CRE. Q3 production put some pressure on the pipeline, but loan demand remained strong, and we did see a marked increase in the accepted category, which was up $400 million over prior quarter. Turning briefly to pricing, new money yields on C&I increased 109 basis points from Q2 to 5.29%, with new CRE production yields up 88 basis points to 4.55%. Slide 8 shows details of our Q3 commercial production. The $2.4 billion in production was well balanced across all product lines and major markets.
As always, was consistent with our disciplined approach to credit. In addition, all of our product segments posted quarter-over-quarter balance sheet growth, which demonstrates the success we've had in retaining lenders and clients in Chicago, our successful entrances into new expansion markets, and the quality of our commercial teams throughout our footprint. Moving to slide nine. End-of-period deposits were up 1.5% quarter-over-quarter, driven by increases in municipal deposits. We are pleased with the stability of our commercial and retail deposit balances, particularly our noninterest-bearing accounts. Our low loan deposit ratio, coupled with asset liquidity in the form of our investment and indirect book, provides flexibility heading into this competitive deposit market. That said, we are actively defending deposit balances through competitive rack rates and pricing exceptions.
We are also playing offense through various deposit specials in select geographies where we have limited market share. These actions put upward pressure on rates in Q3, with average total deposit costs up 6 basis points quarter-over-quarter to a still very low 12 basis points. Interest-bearing deposit costs were up 9 basis points to 18 basis points, resulting in a cycle-to-date beta of just 5%. Our granular low-cost deposit base should continue to give us a beta advantage relative to peers throughout this rate cycle. Pricing is expected to increase in Q4. As a reference point, we ended the quarter with a spot rate on interest-bearing deposits of 33 basis points on September 30th. Next, on slide 10, you will see details of our net interest income and margins.
Both improved more than expected due to better loan growth, higher interest rates, and better than expected deposit pricing lives. Net interest margin expanded 38 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 3.71%. Core margin, excluding accretion and PPP income, increased 48 basis points to 3.46%. Slide 11 provides additional details on our asset liability position and projected margin range. Core margin is expected to continue to expand meaningfully over the next quarter, albeit at a slower pace. The assumption in our outlook includes a Fed funds target rate of 4.5% at year-end and a 4% yield on 10-year Treasuries. Our outlook assumes deposit betas increasing from 5% today to a cycle to date beta by year-end of 15%. This equates to a marginal 4Q beta of 30%.
We believe the current forward curve should allow us to expand margin beyond 2022. Margin expansion is expected to slow, but we believe we can manage marginal deposit betas at or below our asset betas into 2023. While we remain well positioned for rising rates, we have been proactively hedging the balance sheet over the last several quarters to protect our margin from the possibility of a hard economic landing and quick reversal in Fed policy. We added $600 million in hedge protection this quarter with an average forward strike of 3%. Slide 12 shows trends in adjusted non-interest income, which was $81 million for the quarter. This is generally in line with our expectations as market conditions continue to put pressure on mortgage and wealth revenues.
The linked quarter decrease was also impacted by $4 million in discrete Q2 items we discussed last quarter. Next, slide 13 shows the trend in adjusted non-interest expenses. Adjusting for merger charges and tax credit amortization, non-interest expense was $241 million, and our adjusted efficiency ratio was historically low 50.7%. Expenses were higher than anticipated due to $4 million in provision for unfunded commitments related to Q3 loan growth, a $3 million incentive accrual increase, and a $4 million conversion-related reduction in deferred loan origination costs. The total $7 million impact of incentives and deferred costs are not expected to recur. Despite the moving parts in Q3, we continue to run ahead of our planned cost synergies and are on track for the promised merger synergies in the fourth quarter.
Q4 expenses are now expected to be $225 million, a $2 million improvement from our prior quarter estimate, which equates to approximately 90% of cost synergies achieved by year-end. Slide 14 shows our credit trends. Credit conditions are stable, and our commercial and consumer portfolios continue to perform exceptionally well. Net charge-offs were a modest 2 basis points, excluding 8 basis points of net charge-offs on PCD loans that had an allowance established through acquisition accounting. Our special assets team is continuing to work through our PCD loans, and we would expect charge-offs from this portfolio to remain elevated. The provision expense impact from this effort is expected to be minimal as we carry $61 million or approximately 5% reserve against this book.
On slide 15, you'll see details of our third quarter allowance, which stands at $302 million, up from $288 million at the end of Q2. Reserve build was driven primarily by strong loan growth with relatively small increases due to portfolio mix and a marginally worse economic forecast. The financial health of our clients remains strong, and while credit metrics are stable, we believe it is prudent to maintain elevated qualitative reserves given the uncertainty in our base case economic outlook. In addition to the $302 million of total reserves, we also carry $112 million in credit marks. Slide 16 provides details on our capital position at quarter end. Our CET1 ratio remains strong at 9.9%.
Our TCE ratio declined 38 basis points quarter-over-quarter due to increases in unrealized losses in our investment book. Total AOCI is now impacting TCE by 160 basis points. We continue to monitor our balance sheet for economic stress and feel very comfortable with our capital levels. As I wrap up my comments, here are some key takeaways. We grew adjusted earnings per share of 11%. Profitability ratios continue to be strong with an adjusted return on tangible common equity of 22.6% and a return on average assets of 1.35%. We posted another strong quarter of loan growth and better than peer net margin expansion, aided by an industry-leading deposit beta. Expenses also continue to be well managed with a record low efficiency ratio of 50.7% with meaningful savings yet to come.
Slide 17 includes thoughts on our outlook for the remainder of 2022. We ended the quarter with a strong commercial pipeline, which supports our favorable outlook on loan growth, albeit at a slower pace in Q3. Deposits are expected to be stable, excluding the impact of the HSA sale. Net interest income and margins should benefit from continued loan growth and Fed rate increases consistent with the margin guidance we outlined earlier. We expect our fee businesses to continue to perform well despite headwinds, with wealth management and mortgage following industry patterns. Commercial activity should support continued strong capital markets revenues, albeit at a lower level than Q3. We have also finalized plans to implement changes to our NSF/OD policies in December that are largely consistent with industry best practice.
We estimate this impact to be minimal in Q4 and approximately $5 million for the full year of 2023. Turning to taxes, we expect approximately $4 million in tax credit amortization for the remainder of the year, with a corresponding full year effective tax rate of approximately 24% on a core FTE basis and 20% on a GAAP basis. Lastly, our sale of the HSA deposits is expected to close in mid-November. Real estate repositioning as well as other strategic investments are expected to partially offset the gain from that sale. With those comments, I'd like to open the call for your questions. We do have the full team available, including Mark Sander, Jim Sandgren, and John Moran.
Thank you. If you would like to ask a question, please press star followed by one on your telephone keypad. If for any reason you would like to remove that question, please press star followed by two. Again, to ask a question, press star one. As a reminder, if you are using a speakerphone, please remember to pick up your handset before asking your question. We'll pause here briefly as questions are registered. Our first question comes from the line of Scott Siefers with Piper Sandler. Scott, your line is now open.
Good morning, guys.
Thanks for taking the question. How's everybody doing?
We're doing great.
Good.
Great to see you take your rightful place back as number one.
You know, I even jotted down. I've been in the queue since 9:16 A.M. I've gotta get a life at some point here. I'm glad to get in the queue. Appreciate you taking the question. Maybe Brendon, first question is most appropriate for you. So obviously just, you know, a huge ramp-up in the margin and NII with great deposit betas. Just curious, you know, given some of the steps you've taken to kind of protect things, what do you think is your ability to grow NII in the margin sequentially once the Fed stops raising rates?
Just maybe kind of qualitatively, how much of this margin is levitating just on a transitory basis and how much can you kinda harvest and keep for a longer period?
We have a lot to unpack there, and a lot of it will depend on deposit betas and deposit pricing post the Fed move. That said, you know, we have a pretty good view of our margin with the forward curve out through 2023, and we feel really confident we continue to expand the margin as the Fed continues to move rates. Post that, we'll continue to have opportunities to reprice our fixed rate book at much higher levels than what it's running off at, and that'll help offset additional deposit costs. I think the big question is how long does the Fed stay there, will be a big determining factor in how long we can hold on to the margin at the peak.
I'd also add, Scott, you know, we continue to have a mix shift, right, out of lower-yielding assets into higher-yielding commercial assets, and that will continue to help, you know, let the margin grow regardless of what the Fed does or doesn't do.
Okay. All right. Perfect. Just sort of a cleanup question. Brendon, can you sort of repeat what those offsets were to the anticipated HSA gain in the fourth quarter?
Yeah, we're evaluating a number of things. The biggest ones are thoughts around all of our real estate, both branch and non-branch real estate. We're working through that now, so that'll have an impact, and we'll likely spend some of that gain in the fourth quarter.
Okay. Perfect. In other words, kind of a one-time gain and then, you know, potentially a one-time charge is offsetting, you know, maybe some portion of it.
You got it.
Yeah. Which should also lead to some additional savings in the next year.
Yeah. Perfect. All right. Good. Thank you guys very much.
Thanks, Scott.
Thank you for your question. Our next question comes from the line of Ben Gerlinger with Hovde Group. Ben, your line is now open.
Good morning, Ben.
God's not lying. About the time he dialed in, he beat me by 2 minutes.
We were watching who dialed in first, so we saw that.
I was curious. I mean, I know that you guys have a pretty large footprint now relative to the past five years. I was curious, just from a kind of a macro perspective, what are the kind of the conversations you're having with clients today, some of their concerns, and kind of juxtaposed against the lending portfolio. Does that open up any opportunities for growth or any areas you might wanna potentially pivot away from? I know you guys don't change your credit standards throughout the cycle, but just kind of that macro conversation you're having with clients.
Well, the macro conversation with clients is, we think we have opportunities across our geographies and across our four lines of business. You know, you saw that this quarter. You know, real estate was the largest growth driver this quarter, but all three of our other lines in commercial, middle market, business banking, and specialty all grew about $100 million. It was widely dispersed geographically. I just think we have the team to compete and win in every market we're in, Ben. We don't favor one versus the other. I think there's just a lot of good opportunity to grow. Jim, anything you would add?
No. You know, we're gonna continue to look to expand in other markets. Obviously, we talked a little bit about Nashville and St. Louis and Kansas City continue to perform well and looking at other potential metro markets that could help support growth.
Gotcha. That's helpful.
You know, I think the franchise, the power of the franchise.
Ben, I would just add the power of the franchise is getting noticed in some markets that we hadn't been noticed before. I think that's really getting people excited about joining our company. As we talked about, you know, we were able to hire 25, you know, client-facing folks this quarter, and we continue to do that. You know, there isn't a week that goes by that we don't have somebody come through headquarters here looking at an opportunity to join the team, and I'm really excited about that. It's great to tell our story. The story resonates really well with folks, and I think it's gonna allow us to continue to make those strategic investments.
Yeah. That actually dovetails nicely into my next question. I know you just said the +25, and then you highlighted Nashville specifically. From a lender perspective, is there any cities or MSAs you could highlight? I don't know if I jotted those down correctly or not.
No. I would just say, you know, in our existing footprint, we continue to have opportunities. You know, adjacent to our footprint, we're having conversations. You know, we're not looking at expanding, you know, outside the Midwest at this p oint in time. We still feel like we're very comfortable solidly in the Midwest. We do think there's an opportunity to build on Nashville, the wealth management presence. We're in early days there. We really just got started with our office. The great news is they are making referring lending opportunities to our team, and so we're servicing those opportunities today. We'll be looking to add, you know, folks in that team sele ctively, you know, where it makes sense. So that may be the only place really outside the Midwest that I would note.
It's mostly inside the Midwest, inside our existing footprint or to maybe some adjacent markets where we have opportunities to continue to grow.
Most of the hires reflect our footprint, Ben.
Absolutely.
I mean, we've hired over the last two quarters, seven or eight people in Chicago, seven or eight people in Minneapolis, a few in Indianapolis, and we've got a handful in a number of other markets.
Gotcha. Sorry, I muted myself. I appreciate it. I'll step back in the queue. Thank you.
No, no worries. No worries.
Thank you for your question. Our next question comes from the line of Terry McEvoy with Stephens. Terry, your line is now open.
Good morning, Terry.
Thanks. Good morning,
Good to hear from you.
Good morning. Same here. I guess maybe first question, do you think the potential savings from the real estate positioning can offset the $5 million decline in service charges?
You know, we're early stages of estimating that, but I don't think that's far off what we're hoping to achieve with that repositioning.
Okay. Maybe just sticking with expenses, the $225 run rate for 4Q expenses, and then you've got some remaining cost savings in the early part of next year. You know, how should we kind of think about, and maybe you could frame kind of your expense expectations for next year? Or is it still too early given, you know, what you're going to do with some of the real estate repositioning?
No. I think 2.25% is a good launching point and base to move off of into 2023. You layer in some, you know, merit increases. As we talked about, we're not going to stop hiring, but we also have some cost savings to come. But I think 2.25% is a good base with merit. It gets you in the ballpark of how we're thinking about next year.
Perfect. Maybe just a point of clarity. The 15% deposit beta, was that by the end of the fourth quarter of this year? If so, what are your thoughts on, call it, through the cycle deposit betas as we think about the end of next year?
Yeah, that is through the end of the fourth quarter. That'll be the cycle of the beta at 15%. You know, who knows where the deposit beta ultimately goes? We've been pleased that we've been able to underperform, you know, outperform our expectations to date. You know, I can just tell you at last cycle, the combined organization of ONB and FMBI had a significant advantage in deposit betas. We expect to continue to keep that advantage in this rate cycle no matter what deposit betas do.
That's great. Thanks for all the information.
Thank you for your question. Our next question comes from the line of Chris McGratty with KBW. Chris, your line is now open.
Morning, Chris.
Hey, everybody. Brendon, maybe a question on just the size of the balance sheet. You talked in your guide for the Q4, you know, a static balance sheet ex the deposit sale. In your prepared remarks, you talked about around $800 million-$900 million of cash flows on the bond book to come off. How should we be thinking about just the size of the investment portfolio? Or maybe another way, what are your expectations for deposit growth?
I think we're gonna fight to hold deposits stable. I think deposits stable next year is a win, I think given what we've seen in the industry. We're gonna fight to hold that. We're gonna allow investment cash flows to help provide liquidity. We also have an amount of asset liquidity in a few transactional books, including the indirect book. We have lots of wholesale funding capacity. We just feel like we have a lot of options for liquidity heading into this, that we don't have to fight for every deposit. We're gonna go out there and take care of our clients. We think we have room to run. We're starting from a low loan-to-deposit ratio base as well.
His comments exclude the HSA sale, as you remember. That will come off the top.
Mm-hmm
During the quarter.
Okay. Thanks for that. The 800, just to go back to the $850 million of bond cash flows, the expectation is the bond portfolio would shrink to fund
Yes.
to fund loan growth to some degree? Okay.
Yes.
Okay. Maybe Jim, just a higher level question. You were talking probably about the 51% efficiency ratio, which is a great metric. Maybe comment about trajectory from here.
Yeah. You know, I think if you look at, you know, Brendan's expense guidance and expanded margin, you know, I think modest improvements are expected, but it's not gonna be in as maybe as quickly as we got to 50%-51%. I think all the trends are heading in the right direction to see that number improve.
Okay. Maybe just a quick credit question. I think in your prepared remark you said, expect a little bit higher charge-offs on the PCD book. Maybe any higher level questions or comments about what you might be seeing in the legacy FMBI book, which I think gets a little bit more attention.
Nothing that is unusual or that we haven't seen before, Chris, I guess is what I would say. You know, this is Mark. Our you know, our commercial clients are still seeing strong demand and profitability and liquidity overall. There's a little growing sense of caution out there, so nothing different than what we're all hearing in terms of economic outlook. I know we feel good about our credit metrics.
Okay. Thanks, Mark.
Thanks, Chris.
Thank you for your question. As a brief reminder, it is star one on your telephone keypad to register a question. Our next question comes from the line of Jon Arfstrom with RBC Capital Markets. Jon, your line is now open.
Hey, thanks. Good morning, everyone.
Good morning, John. Yeah, good to hear.
I dialed in at the top of the hour, and I knew I was gonna be last. Just a quick follow-up on Chris's last question. You talked a little bit about moderating, you know, moderating growth, but give us a little bit more in terms of what you're seeing there in terms of moderation and severe is the wrong word, but how material is it? Then talk about kind of your approach to the marketplace as well, if you're being any more cautious.
Yeah. I don't really think we're being any more cautious. You know, I think like everybody else, we're wondering about, you know, what next year brings us. But you know, the pipeline was our second highest pipeline at $5.4 billion. Brendan told you our accepted category is up meaningfully. I mean, so, you know, we continue to expect the portfolios to grow, just the pipeline's down after we closed, you know, $2.4 billion this quarter. But we're really not slowing down at all. I think our view is really consistent with what other CEOs are thinking about.
You know, I think everybody is, you know, looking forward and cautious about, you know, a potential recession, but there really have not been much signs of it from our borrowers today, particularly in the Midwest. Mark or Jim?
Said another way, but the same thing. Our near-term outlook is favorable.
Yes
Because the pipelines are still very strong and clients are still doing quite well. I mean, but again, some of the CRE markets clearly aren't immune to the impact of rising rates, but there was plenty of room to run in the former equity levels and debt service coverage ratios of our clients. The pipeline is still really strong there still as well.
You followed us a long time, Jon. You know, 17%, you know, annualized growth is a strong number by any measure. You know, I think we're all just cautious that, you know, how can we continue to grow at these kind of levels over the long term? I think the answer is it's probably gonna, you know, get revert back closer to some kind of long term average.
That's what we said at the end of the second quarter, and we surprised on the upside.
Right
This quarter. We'll still grow in Q4, but at a little lower pace than this quarter.
Okay. Yeah, it's an interesting time, no doubt about it. Brendon, slide seven, you talk about average new production yields. Can you give us an idea where things are coming on today on C&I and CRE in terms of yields?
Yeah, they're marginally up from there. Just, you know, today, September yields are up a little bit, 10-15 basis points, in commercial real estate. Not much higher. I expect those to continue to go higher given where the five-year has moved and certainly what we expect LIBOR to do over the next, and SOFR to do over the next 60 days.
Okay. Just two more. Wealth management, you've talked about a little bit. You know, like Scottsdale and Nashville, and I understand you expect the numbers to be down. But can you talk a little bit more about organic growth, what you're seeing in terms of, you know, progress there? I don't know if it's new households or how you measure it, but take the market impact away, what are you seeing?
Right. We're seeing organic growth, and it's all about focusing on what you can control. We know we can't control market values, but we can control what we produce and what retention we have. We feel really good about the opportunities. Not just these teams that we hired, that's incremental, but each of our existing markets. We see organic growth. We measure it by net new clients and net assets under management.
Any numbers in terms of net new clients?
We monitor them. We don't disclose them, I guess, is the best way I could say it. It is growing.
I think internally, we are meeting our own expectations around our growth in that business from the organic acquisition of new clients. Nashville and, you know, our high net worth teams are off to a really strong start. I mean, we're getting some at-bats that we've never had a chance at before, you know, given the sophistication level of the new team we brought on, you know, last year and the new team in Nashville. I mean, they're bringing in just great new opportunities for us.
Okay. Just last one, smaller item. You talked about playing offense in deposit gathering where you have limited market share. Can you give us an example of that? Thanks.
Yeah. You know, we'll go out in an area in Michigan, maybe pick a Grand Rapids where we have relatively low market share, and we'll put a pretty heavy rate down. You know, a money market, a new money money market account at a fairly high rate. Generally, a teaser rate. We'll run some pricey CD specials in that for those markets and try to be annoying to some of our bank competitors in that space. And that's worked really well for us last rate cycle, and it's allowing us to grow some deposits in this cycle.
Okay. Got it. Thank you.
Thanks, Jon.
Thank you for your question. We now have a follow-up question from Chris McGratty with KBW. Chris, your line is now open.
Great. Brendan, just a clarification on the non-interest income guidance. You know, it sounds like the run rate on the service charges will make its way to, you know, 18.5 once the implementations go in. I heard you on the trust. What about the other income line? It's kind of been all over the board. Just trying to get a sense of, we take all these pieces together, what's a reasonab le range for just total fees entering next year?
Yeah. Yeah. I think the other income item is $11 million on the slide. I think that's a good base to grow from. The noise really was in Q2, and we had that $4 million of kind of an odd set of factors that hit Q2. I think that 11 is a good run rate base.
That would put kind of the total run rate around $80 million, something like that?
I think that's fair.
Okay. Thank you.
Thanks, Chris.
Thank you for your question. There are no further questions at this time. I'd like to turn the call back to Jim Ryan for closing remarks.
Thanks for joining us today. I hope you can tell we feel really pleased with the third quarter, and we feel really good about where we're heading. As always, the team is here to answer any follow-up questions. Thank you for participating today and look forward to seeing you in the conference circuit here shortly. Thanks, Norm.
