Roy Thygesen, CEO said, “Our core businesses appear to be firing on all cylinders, and the Company is positioned for continued growth in 2016 and beyond. The key theme at First Community continues to be high quality commercial customer expansion, with a focus on promoting business lines which we believe add to our franchise and shareholder value. Loan and profitability growth was substantial in 2015, yet we are most proud of the 24% growth in noninterest bearing deposits achieved by our Bank year-over-year.”
“Consistent with prior periods, the Bank remains focused on growing core deposits, including noninterest bearing deposits predominately procured through small business customer relationships. We build lasting relationships with businesses in the Greater Chicagoland market, and this begins and ends with high-touch service. The Bank provides a full-suite of treasury management services to its business customers, and is utilizing sophisticated technology along with old-fashioned service to regularly win new customers.”
“We recently expanded into equipment leasing, led by an experienced team which joined the Bank recently. Management and the Board will continue to be opportunistic, yet prudent, as we continue executing our efficient and growth-oriented business model.”

This was the result of higher interest income from current year loan growth, and lower year-over-year interest expense.

Results of Operations
Net interest income was $8.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $7.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of $580,000 or 7.64%. The Company’s net interest margin was 3.29% in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to 3.46% in the fourth quarter of 2014, while the net interest spread was 3.10% compared to 3.23% in the prior year’s fourth quarter.
Interest income on loans was $8.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared to $8.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, reflecting contributions from $83.1 million in loan growth, partially offset by newer loans booked at lower average yields due to the ongoing low interest rate environment and competitive market conditions. There were approximately $204.0 million in new loans and renewals during 2015, at a weighted average yield of 4.14%.
Interest income on securities was $1.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared to $844,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. The increase in interest income on securities was the result of growth in the portfolio, along with improvement in the overall yield of the government sponsored enterprises and state and political subdivision portfolios.
Interest expense on deposits was $986,000 in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, which primarily reflected a decline in time deposits that were replaced by growth in noninterest bearing deposits, along with an increase in lower cost NOW, money market and savings accounts. In addition, after the refinancing of outstanding subordinated debt with a lower interest senior credit facility the reduced borrowing costs at the parent company helped to lower interest expense, subordinated debt interest expense was 47.24% or $266,000 lower in the fourth quarter of 2015 versus 2014.
Noninterest income was $759,000 in the fourth quarter of 2015, a decrease of $102,000, or 11.85% from the same quarter in 2014. The decrease was partially due to lower gains on sales of securities offset by small increases in service charges on deposit accounts and slightly higher mortgage fee income of $96,000, compared to $66,000 in the fourth quarter of 2014, which was offset by lower gains on sales of securities. Noninterest income in the fourth quarter of 2014 was $861,000, which included $466,000 in gains on the sale of securities, compared to $212,000 in gains on sales of securities in 2015.
Noninterest expense was $5.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 compared to $5.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. Salaries and benefits were slightly higher and occupancy expenses were stable for the quarter. The fourth quarter of 2015 included a net loss on foreclosed assets of $109,000 compared to a gain of $13,000 in the same period in 2014. Losses were related to changes in property values, as appraisals are updated annually or based on offers on properties held by the Bank.
Financial Condition
Total assets were $1.0 billion at December 31, 2015, an increase of 12.62% or $116.6 million, from $924.1 million at December 31, 2014. Total assets increased 1.68% or $17.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2015.
Total loans were $772.3 million at December 31, 2015, a 12.06%, or $83.1 million, increase from $689.2 million at December 31, 2014, and a 3.94% or $29.3 million, increase during the fourth quarter of 2015, reflecting balanced growth in all lending categories.
Investment securities grew to $207.0 million at December 31, 2015, compared with $217.2 million at September 30, 2015 and $170.1 million at December 31, 2014. Strong gains in low-cost deposits facilitated this growth.
Total deposits increased $96.6 million from December 31, 2014, or 12.6%, to $866.0 million at December 31, 2015, compared with $846.7 million at September 30, 2015. The growth in deposits has been focused on growth in lower cost transactional accounts. Noninterest bearing demand deposits increased 23.8%, or $37.0 million, year-over-year, 12.13%, or $21.2 million, took place in the fourth quarter of 2015. Our focus on relationship banking and growth in transactional accounts has resulted in a decline in time deposits of $13.4 million or 4.30%, to $297.5 million at December 31, 2015 from $310.9 million at December 31, 2014. $5.4 million, or 1.77%, of run off occurred during the fourth quarter of 2015.
Asset Quality
Total nonperforming assets declined by 26.9%, or $2.5 million, to $7.0 million at December 31, 2015 from $9.5 million at December 31, 2014, and declined by $261,000, or 3.61%, from $7.2 million at September 30, 2015. The improvement reflected a decline in total nonperforming loans to $1.5 million from $9.1 million a year earlier, and from $3.2 million at September 30, 2015. Foreclosed assets were $5.5 million at December 31, 2015, which were up from $2.5 million at December 31, 2014 and $4.1 million at September 30, 2015. Two properties totaling $1.8 million and one property totaling $1.5 million were transferred from nonperforming loans to foreclosed assets during the second and fourth quarters, respectively.
The Company had net recoveries of $503,000 in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to net charge-offs of $299,000 in the fourth quarter of 2014. Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $87,000 as compared to $4.9 million for the same period in 2014.
The Company’s allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans remained strong at 794.38% at December 31, 2015, compared to 198.73% at December 31, 2014 and 370.52% at September 30, 2015.
Because of the continued improvements in asset quality during 2015, the Company had a negative provision for loan losses of $515,000 in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $2.1 million for the year to date December 31, 2015 compared to a provision for loan losses of $333,000 in the fourth quarter of 2014 and $3.0 million for the year to date December 31, 2014.
