Borrowing costs decreased $641 thousand, or 29.54%, to $1.53 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared with the same quarter of 2014 primarily due to FHLB debt prepayments in 2014. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 14 basis points to 0.73% for the first quarter of 2015 compared with the same quarter of 2014.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income decreased $398 thousand, or 5.50%, to $6.84 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared with the same quarter of 2014, which was largely due to a decrease in wealth management income and increase in FDIC indemnification asset amortization offset by an increase in insurance commissions. Wealth management revenues decreased $342 thousand, or 33.93%, for the first quarter of 2015 compared with the same quarter of 2014 largely due to higher estate settlement fees earned in the prior quarter. Net amortization expense related to the FDIC indemnification asset increased $431 thousand, or 38.01%, due to better than expected performance in the covered loan portfolio. The Trust and Wealth Management Divisions reported $713 million in combined assets under management as of March 31, 2015.

The Company incurred no other-than-temporary impairment charges during the first quarter of 2015 compared to $264 thousand during the same quarter of 2014 related to a non-Agency mortgage-backed security that was sold during the fourth quarter of 2014. Other operating income decreased $54 thousand, or 6.98%, for the first quarter of 2015 compared with the same quarter of 2014.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense decreased $1.40 million, or 7.30%, to $17.78 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared with the same quarter of 2014, which was largely due to a $1.16 million, or 20.30%, decrease in other operating expense to $4.54 million. The decrease was primarily due to a $530 thousand decrease in the net loss on sales and expenses associated with other real estate owned and a $503 thousand decrease in legal expenses. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $212 thousand, or 2.14%, to $9.69 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared with the same quarter of 2014. Full-time equivalent employees totaled 669 as of March 31, 2015, a decrease of 38 employees compared with the same period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to branch consolidation and divestiture activities offset by the Bank of America branch acquisition that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2014. Occupancy, furniture, and equipment expenses decreased $201 thousand, or 6.76%, to $2.77 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared with the same quarter of 2014.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). This press release also refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures that the Company believes provide investors with important information, when used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP, regarding its operational performance.
Core earnings are a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain items from net income. Excluded items include gains, losses, and impairment losses on securities; goodwill and intangible impairment; amortization of intangibles; taxes; and other nonrecurring income and expense items. Management believes that core earnings provide the Company and investors a valuable tool to evaluate the Company's financial results.
The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure computed by dividing adjusted noninterest expense by the sum of tax equivalent net interest income and adjusted noninterest income. Management believes this measure provides investors with important information about the Company's operating expense control and efficiency of operations. Management also believes this ratio focuses attention on the core operating performance of the Company over time and is highly useful in comparing period-to-period operating performance of core business operations. The efficiency ratio used by the Company may not be comparable to efficiency ratios reported by other financial institutions.
Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as stockholders' equity less goodwill and other intangibles, divided by as-converted common shares outstanding. Average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as average stockholders' equity less average goodwill, other intangibles, and the preferred liquidation preference.
