Net Interest Income

For the three month period ended March 31, 2017, the Company’s net interest income was $6.8 million, compared to $6.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2016, and $6.6 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2016, respectively. For the three month period ended March 31, 2017, the improved levels of net interest income as compared to March 31, 2016 is directly attributable to a $54.8 million increase in the average balance of loans outstanding during the three month period ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2016. The growth in loan balances for the three month period ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2016 helped to offset a reduction in the average yield on loans. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, the average yield on loans was 4.38% and 4.62%, respectively. For the three month period ended March 31, 2017, the Company’s net interest margin was 3.31%, as compared to 3.39% for the three month period ended March 31, 2016.

For the three month periods March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, interest expense was $1.4 million, respectively. For the three month period ending March 31, 2017, the average cost of interest bearing liabilities was 0.81%, as compared to 0.83% for the three month period ended March 31, 2016. The average balance of interest bearing liabilities for the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 was $690.7 million and $678.7 million, respectively.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2017 was $2.3 million, as compared to $2.0 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2016. The most significant reasons for the increase in non-interest income were increases of income from bank owned life insurance and other operating income. For the three month period ended March 31, 2017, income from bank owned life insurance was $235,000, as compared to $84,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2016. The increase in income from bank owned life insurance was the result of death benefit paid during the three month period ended March 31, 2017. For the three month period ended March 31, 2017, other operating income was $479,000, as compared to $176,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2016. In the three month period ended March 31, 2017, the Company received approximately $250,000 from one time licensing fees.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2017, service charge income increased by $127,000 and $110,000, respectively, as compared to the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2016. For the three month period ended March 31, 2017, the Company’s income on the origination of mortgage loans was $334,000, as compared to $368,000 and $367,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2016.

The Company recognized net gains on the sale of securities of $2,000, $291,000 and $190,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2017, March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The decline in security gains is the result of a growing deposit base, making it unnecessary for the Company to sell securities to fund loan growth and increases in short term interest rates.

Non-interest Expense

For the three month period ended March 31, 2017, non-interest expenses increased by $6,000 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2016. For the three month period ended March 31, 2017, the Company’s salaries and benefits expense increased by $248,000 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2016. The increase in compensation expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2016 is largely the result of a $67,000 increase in health insurance benefits due to an increase in medical insurance cost and a $146,000 increase in overall compensation. For the three month period ended March 31, 2017, other operating expenses totaled $846,000, as compared to $1.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2016.

On a linked quarter basis, the Company’s other operating expenses declined by $143,000. On a linked quarter basis, salaries and benefits increased by $482,000 due to end of year salary increases, additional payroll taxes resulting from the beginning of a new year, increases in health insurance benefits and seasonal vacation accruals. On a linked quarter basis, seasonal changes in vacation accruals accounted for $231,000 of the increase in salary and benefits expense and health insurance benefits accounted for $71,000 of the increase in salary and benefits expense. On a linked quarter basis, foreclosed assets expense increased by $159,000.
