3rd Quarter 2018 Highlights

  • Net interest income for the quarter of $36.1 million was an increase of $1.0 million, or 2.8%, from second quarter 2018 and $1.2 million, or 3.3%, from prior year third quarter.
  • Provision for loan losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 decreased $0.4 million from prior quarter but increased $0.9 million from prior year same quarter.
  • Our loan portfolio increased $8.8 million, an annualized 1.1%, during the quarter and $64.5 million, or 2.1%, from September 30, 2017.
  • Net loan charge-offs for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 were $1.5 million, or 0.19% of average loans annualized, compared to $1.3 million, or 0.17%, experienced for the second quarter 2018 and $1.4 million, or 0.18%, for the third quarter 2017.
  • Nonperforming loans at $21.0 million decreased $1.0 million from June 30, 2018 and $9.0 million from September 30, 2017. Nonperforming assets at $50.8 million decreased $1.6 million from June 30, 2018 and $11.5 million from September 30, 2017.
  • Deposits, including repurchase agreements, decreased $33.6 million during the quarter but increased $64.3 million from September 30, 2017.
  • Noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 of $12.7 million was a decrease of $1.1 million, or 7.8%, from prior quarter but increased $0.5 million, or 3.8%, from prior year same quarter. The decrease in noninterest income from prior quarter was primarily due to a gain in the second quarter on the sale of a partnership interest resulting from a low income housing tax credit recapture.
  • Noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 of $28.1 million decreased $4.3 million, or 13.4%, from prior quarter, but increased $1.2 million, or 4.4%, from prior year same quarter. The variance in noninterest expense from prior quarter was primarily due to the previously disclosed increase in a customer reimbursement accrual in June 2018. The increase from prior year same quarter was primarily a result of an increase in personnel expense with increases in salaries, bonuses, and the cost of group medical and life insurance.
  • Income tax expense continues to be positively impacted by the change in the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%. We utilize various tax exempt investments and loans, including municipal bonds, bank owned life insurance, and low income housing projects, to lower our effective income tax rate. With the current tax laws, our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 16% compared to 28% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the quarter of $36.1 million was an increase of $1.0 million, or 2.8%, from second quarter 2018 and $1.2 million, or 3.3%, from prior year third quarter. Our net interest margin at 3.68% increased 7 basis points from prior quarter and 1 basis point from prior year same quarter, while our average earning assets decreased $9.9 million but increased $80.2 million, respectively, during those same periods. Our yield on average earning assets increased 13 basis points from prior quarter and 27 basis points from prior year same quarter, and our cost of funds increased 8 basis points from prior quarter and 36 basis points from prior year same quarter. Our ratio of average loans to deposits, including repurchase agreements, was 89.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared to 88.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 and 91.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased $3.6 million from September 30, 2017 with a 3 basis point decrease in our net interest margin and a $130.1 million increase in average earning assets.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 of $12.7 million was a decrease of $1.1 million, or 7.8%, from prior quarter but a $0.5 million, or 3.8%, increase from prior year same quarter. The decrease in noninterest income from prior quarter was primarily due to a $1.0 million gain in the second quarter on the sale of a partnership interest resulting from a low income housing tax credit recapture. The increase from prior year same quarter was a result of increases in deposit service charges ($0.2 million), trust revenue ($0.3 million), and loan related fees ($0.2 million), partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in insurance commissions. The increase in loan related fees was a result of fluctuations in the fair value adjustments of our mortgage servicing rights. Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was a $3.6 million, or 10.0%, increase from prior year. Year over year noninterest income has been positively impacted by increases in deposit service charges ($0.7 million), trust revenue ($0.9 million), loan related fees ($0.5 million), and bank owned life insurance income ($1.5 million).

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 of $28.1 million decreased $4.3 million, or 13.4%, from prior quarter, but increased $1.2 million, or 4.4%, from prior year same quarter. The variance in noninterest expense from prior quarter was primarily due to the previously disclosed $3.6 million increase in a customer reimbursement accrual in June 2018. The increase from prior year same quarter was primarily a result of a $1.2 million increase in personnel expense with increases in salaries ($0.2 million) , bonuses ($0.5 million), and the cost of group medical and life insurance ($0.3 million). Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $89.2 million, a $7.1 million, or 8.6%, increase over the first nine months of 2017, with a $3.3 million increase in personnel expense in addition to the $3.6 million increased customer reimbursement accrual discussed above.
