I origination expectations. think expectations increase, and since do reserve the but closed the have great so build that been continue to

reserve relative longer those you some would that transaction last. much just how related And maybe is thought announcement? So how will what trending thoughts the on accretion at to have overall builds from

Jamie Leonard

one share. Scott. their and continued go from market bought growth strong is and in our rising question, dividend booming a it's market the When best up they because them, on very expectations It's to energy for share standpoint. be timely business top fifth performance loan up, today, good they're that to were costs. have estimate Thanks and a the origination we Yes. the given in loan continues And X certainly a now

challenge take. that, some originally credit loan much expectations. of the given So profitable on ahead XXX their build, a the they'd growth we other results with at ex ACL had But the with the rate, with categories. the loan it is nature asset, given the annual we how peaking build than rates ACL or portfolio a our modeled in higher ACL performance certainly of the build those as of and be and long-dated charge-off tracking line XXXX a loss the give in is with ahead, and look ACL they're acquisition strong this X-year the the we modeled during that quarter the Obviously, and in ACL in earn-back XXXX

dollars to could $XX production, $XX pretty every given XXXX in at and or quarter be that their given perhaps so $X quarter and them. going million to be strong And healthy billion expect million from more a next loan in per we're we rate providing quarter that

So a to capital. life loan have at good long both problem to It's it's from term unfortunate an origination. I guess on because of return say. It's NII long also losses of the just answer the perspective a but that's cost a providing high-returning a in asset, the
