Merger-related expenses increased $18.1 million to $21.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Amortization of intangibles increased $5.7 million to $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, largely due to purchase accounting adjustments related to Lakeland. Additionally, net occupancy expense increased $3.3 million to $19.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to increased depreciation and maintenance expenses because of the addition of Lakeland.
Income Tax Expense
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company's income tax expense was $1.1 million, compared with $26.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with the same period last year was largely due to a $5.3 million tax benefit related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets to reflect the imposition by the State of NJ of a 2.5% Corporate Transit Fee, effective January 1, 2024, combined with a decrease in taxable income as a result of additional expenses from the Lakeland merger.
Asset Quality
The Company’s total non-performing loans as of June 30, 2024 were $67.9 million, or 0.36% of total loans, compared to $47.6 million, or 0.44% of total loans as of March 31, 2024 and $49.6 million, or 0.46% of total loans as of December 31, 2023. The $20.3 million increase in non-performing loans as of June 30, 2024, compared to the trailing quarter, consisted of an $11.7 million increase in non-performing construction loans, a $4.9 million increase in non-performing multi-family loans, a $2.8 million increase in non-performing commercial loans, a $2.8 million increase in non-performing residential mortgage loans and a $384,000 increase in non-performing consumer loans, partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in non-performing commercial mortgage loans. These increases were due to the addition of Lakeland, which resulted in additional non-performing loans of $21.4 million. As of June 30, 2024, impaired loans totaled $54.6 million with related specific reserves of $7.7 million, compared with impaired loans totaling $40.1 million with related specific reserves of $8.2 million as of March 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, impaired loans totaled $42.8 million with related specific reserves of $2.4 million.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s allowance for credit losses related to the loan portfolio was 1.00% of total loans, compared to 0.98% and 0.99% as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The allowance for credit losses increased $81.1 million to $188.3 million as of June 30, 2024, from $107.2 million as of December 31, 2023. The increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans as of June 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 was due to a $66.3 million provision for credit losses and a $17.2 million allowance recorded through goodwill related to Purchased Credit Deteriorated loans acquired from Lakeland, partially offset by net charge-offs of $2.3 million.

| Notes and Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Dollars in Thousands, except share data) |
The Company has presented the following non-GAAP (U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures because it believes that these measures provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how the Company evaluates its performance internally and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry. Investors should recognize that the Company’s presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and the Company strongly encourages a review of its condensed consolidated financial statements in their entirety.
