Earnings
Net income for the first quarter of 2019 was $24.6 million, as compared to $23.3 million for the first quarter of 2018, an increase of $1.3 million, or 5.7%, year-over-year.
Core net income (adjusted for acquisition expenses) was $24.6 million, as compared to $23.5 million for the first quarter of 2018 and $27.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, an increase of $1.1 million, or 4.5%, year-over-year and a decrease of $2.4 million from the prior quarter.
Net Interest Margin and Net Interest Income
The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2019 was 3.75%, an increase of five basis points from the previous quarter and an increase of six basis points from the first quarter of 2018. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2018 was due primarily to a 12 basis point increase in the yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a seven basis point increase in funding costs.
The increase from the previous year is primarily due to improved yields on variable and adjustable loan portfolios following the Federal Reserve’s decisions to increase short-term rates in March, June, September and December of 2018, along with the ability to pay down higher cost short-term borrowings with strong deposit growth.
Total average interest-earning assets increased $107.0 million from the previous quarter due to strong commercial and industrial loan growth.
Total average deposits grew by $107.6 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the previous quarter. Growth was driven by a $76.0 million increase in average interest-bearing transaction accounts, a $23.8 million increase in average time deposits and a $7.8 million increase in average noninterest-bearing deposits.
Credit Quality
Asset quality trends continued to improve during the quarter. At March 31, 2019, nonperforming loans totaled $31.3 million, a decrease of $0.7 million from December 31, 2018 and a decrease of $26.0 million from March 31, 2018.
Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.53%, 0.55% and 1.06% for the periods ended March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively.
The provision for credit losses totaled $4.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $2.6 million as compared to the prior quarter and a decrease of $2.8 million from the same quarter last year. The increase from the previous quarter was due in part to the release of $1.7 million in excess specific reserves in the fourth quarter related to the successful resolution of a commercial credit, as well as reserves for strong organic loan growth.
For the originated loan portfolio at March 31, 2019, the allowance for credit losses to total originated loans was 0.92%, compared to 0.90% at December 31, 2018 and 1.07% at March 31, 2018.
During the first quarter of 2019, net charge-offs were $2.2 million, compared to $4.5 million in the prior quarter and $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2018. Net charge-offs were 0.15%, 0.31% and 0.11% of average loans (annualized) for the periods ended March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively.
Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense
Noninterest income totaled $18.9 million for the first quarter of 2019, as compared to $20.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 and $19.2 million for the first quarter of 2018 (excluding net securities gains). The $0.3 million decrease from the previous year was due to a decrease of $0.8 million in swap-related derivative mark-to-market income, which was partially offset by an increase of $0.5 million in gain on sale of loans and other assets due to higher Small Business Administration (“SBA”) lending activities as compared to the first quarter of 2018.
The $1.7 million decrease in noninterest income from the prior quarter was the result of $1.0 million less in service charges and card-related interchange income (driven by seasonally lower volume and six more processing days in the fourth quarter), as well as a $0.6 million decrease in gain sale of loans and other assets due to a gain on the sale of a nonperforming loan in the prior quarter and a $0.4 million insurance recovery in the prior quarter. This was partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in gain on sale of mortgage loans.
Net securities gains were $2.8 million during the first quarter of 2018; no such gains were recorded in the current or previous quarter. The gains in the prior year quarter were attributable to the successful auction calls of two pooled trust preferred securities, for which the company had previously recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge.
Noninterest expense (excluding merger-related expenses) totaled $49.7 million for the first quarter of 2019, as compared to $50.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 and $46.5 million for the first quarter of 2018. The $0.3 million decrease from the previous quarter was primarily the result of a $0.7 million decrease in other professional fees and a $0.6 million decrease in Pennsylvania state shares tax. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in occupancy expenses (due primarily to higher snow removal expense during the first quarter) and a $0.5 million increase in advertising and promotion expense as the company invests in expanding its brand into new markets.
The $3.2 million increase in noninterest expense from the first quarter of 2018 was driven largely by higher expenses following the company’s recent acquisition of Foundation Bank on May 1, 2018, as well as the expansion of its commercial, SBA and mortgage lending teams.
Full time equivalent staff was 1,417 at March 31, 2019, 1,426 at December 31, 2018, and 1,365 at March 31, 2018. The increase from the prior year quarter is the result of the addition of employees from acquisitions and the hiring of additional talent in our new markets and business lines.
