Impact of Core System Conversion on Leasing Division's Fee Income
A $757,000 positive nonrecurring adjustment related to the finalization of the leasing division's core system conversion contributed to second quarter results.
Excluding this adjustment, leasing fee income was lower, and the division's revenue was affected by the system upgrade.
Management expects leasing fee income to rebound in the second half of the year due to accelerated depreciation benefits and pipeline improvements.
