Nicolet Bankshares, Inc. announced record net income of $94 million for 2022, a significant increase from $61 million in 2021, and fourth quarter 2022 net income of $28 million. This growth was driven by strong organic loan growth and strategic acquisitions, including Charter Bankshares in 2022 and Mackinac Financial Corporation and County Bancorp in 2021. The Company's financial performance was influenced by both core operations and non-core items, such as merger-related expenses and the CECL model's credit provision expense.
