Management Commentary
William D. Moss, President and CEO, stated, “We achieved record bottom line results and solid improvement in all key performance metrics during the first quarter. Total loan growth increased by over 10% annualized, despite the sale of a $5.0 million pool of portfolio residential adjustable rate mortgages. The growth in our commercial loan sector originated from a wide range of office, industrial, and residential lending sources without any significant product concentration. On an annualized basis, C&I and construction lending grew over 20% in the first quarter, driven by local relationships and subsequent referrals in our markets. The first quarter volume of loan closings and sizable pipeline will continue to support our performance for the balance of the year.”

2018 First Quarter Financial Review

Net Income
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $2.68 million, or $0.31 per diluted common share, compared to $1.80 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share, for the same period last year, an increase of 48.5%. The increase was due primarily to higher net interest income and non-interest income, coupled with a $90,000 tax benefit related to the accounting treatment of equity-based compensation, along with a lower corporate tax rate.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was $8.80 million, an increase of 15.3% compared to $7.63 million in the corresponding prior year period. This was largely due to an increase of $87.9 million, or 9.8%, in average interest earning assets, primarily driven from growth in the Company’s loan portfolio. 

Net Interest Margin
The Company reported a net interest margin of 3.63% for the first quarter of 2018, compared to the 3.56% reported in the fourth quarter of 2017 and 3.45% reported in the first quarter of 2017. The net interest margin improvement of 7 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2017 was primarily the result of higher yielding interest-earning assets. 

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 totaled $1.31 million, an increase of $185,000, or 16.4%, compared to the same period in 2017. This was largely the result of a $214,000, or 182.9%, increase in gains on the sale of SBA loans. For the first quarter of 2018, mortgage banking revenue was $338,000, which included a $100,000 gain from the sale of a pool of residential adjustable rate mortgages, compared to $426,000 in the corresponding period in 2017, which included a $91,000 gain from the sale of a pool of residential adjustable rate mortgages. The Company experienced a slowdown in residential lending activity partially due to a prolonged winter that led to a late start to the spring housing market, coupled with tighter competition for purchase transactions.

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 totaled $6.23 million, an increase of $450,000, or 7.8%, compared to the same period in 2017, mainly due to higher salaries and benefits resulting from annual merit increases, along with new hires within the lending and deposit teams. 

Provision / Allowance for Loan Losses
During the quarter, the Company reported a $400,000 provision for loan losses, compared to $225,000 in the prior year period. The increase was largely due to the strong loan growth during the period. The Company had $106,000 in net loan charge-offs during the quarter, compared to $223,000 of net loan charge offs in the same period last year. 

As of March 31, 2018, the Company's allowance for loan losses was $10.96 million, compared to $10.67 million at December 31, 2017. The loss allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.26% at March 31, 2018, compared to 1.25% at December 31, 2017.

Financial Condition / Balance Sheet
At March 31, 2018, the Company maintained capital ratios that were in excess of regulatory standards for well-capitalized institutions. The Company's Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio was 8.88%, common equity Tier 1 to risk weighted assets ratio was 9.73%, Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets ratio was 9.73%, and total capital to risk weighted assets ratio was 11.96%.

Total assets as of March 31, 2018 were $1.042 billion, compared to $1.040 billion at December 31, 2017 and $967.1 million at March 31, 2017.

Total deposits as of March 31, 2018 grew to $870.9 million, compared to $861.6 million as of December 31, 2017 and $799.7 million at March 31, 2017. Core checking deposits at March 31, 2018 were $375.9 million, compared to $400.0 million at December 31, 2017 and $344.5 million at March 31, 2017. The Company continues to focus on building core checking account deposit relationships, which can vary from quarter to quarter due to seasonality in municipal relationships.

Asset Quality
The Company's non-performing assets at March 31, 2018 were $1.97 million, compared to $2.07 million at December 31, 2017 and $1.77 million at March 31, 2017. Non-performing assets to total assets at March 31, 2018 were 0.19%, compared to 0.20% at December 31, 2017 and 0.18% at March 31, 2017.

Troubled debt restructured loan balances amounted to $6.84 million at March 31, 2018, with all but $878,000 performing. This compared to $7.05 million at December 31, 2017 and $8.16 million at March 31, 2017.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The press release contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies in the United States (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are "tangible book value per common share," "return on average tangible assets," and "return on average tangible equity." This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of our performance because it believes these measures are material and will be used as a measure of our performance by investors.
