- Average demand deposits up 10.1% from 2015
- Improved operating efficiencies resulting in flat noninterest expense year over year
“NBT completed an excellent 2016, posting record net income for the fourth consecutive year. This accomplishment was driven by our strong growth in loans, deposits and fee income generation, all of which can be attributed the hard work of our customer-focused team,” said President and CEO John H. Watt Jr. “As we move forward in 2017, we will build on the momentum initiated and led by my predecessor, Marty Dietrich, and we will focus on executing on our defined strategies that are grounded in organic growth as our team continues to collaborate to deliver returns for the benefit of our shareholders.”
Net interest income was $264.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, up $11.8 million, or 4.7%, from 2015. Fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) net interest margin was 3.43% for the year ended December 31, 2016, down from 3.50% for the year ended December 31, 2015. Average interest earning assets were up $510.5 million, or 7.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to 2015. This increase from last year was driven primarily by $314.9, or 5.4%, loan growth and a $220.7 million, or 13.4%, increase in investment securities in 2016. The benefit of earning asset growth was partially offset by a 6 basis points (“bps”) decrease in earning asset yields, driven by a 5 bp decrease in loan yields from 2015 to 2016. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $330.7 million, or 6.4%, from the year ended December 31, 2015 to the year ended December 31, 2016. Total average deposits increased $373.2 million, or 5.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the prior year, driven primarily by a 10.1% increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits, as well as increases in money market deposit accounts, NOW and savings deposits in 2016. Average short-term borrowings increased $157.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the prior year funding earning asset growth. The rates paid on interest bearing liabilities increased by 1 bp for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to 2015.
Net interest income was $67.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, up $0.8 million, or 1.1%, from the previous quarter and up $3.9 million, or 6.2%, from the fourth quarter of 2015. FTE net interest margin was 3.41% for the three months ended December 31, 2016, up from 3.40% for the previous quarter and down from 3.42% for the fourth quarter of 2015. Average interest earning assets were up $71.0 million, or 0.9%, for the fourth quarter of 2016 as compared to the prior quarter and up $521.5 million, or 7.0%, from the same period in 2015. The increases from the third quarter of 2016 and the fourth quarter of 2015 were driven primarily by growth in both loans and investments. Yields on earning assets remained consistent in the third and fourth quarters of 2016 at 3.69% and decreased by 1 bp from 3.70% in the fourth quarter of 2015. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $13.3 million, or 0.2%, from the third quarter of 2016, and $332.5 million, or 6.4%, to the fourth quarter of 2016. The rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 0.41% for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to 0.42% paid in the prior quarter and 0.40% in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $115.7 million, down $2.8 million, or 2.3%, from the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to the gain of $4.2 million recognized in the third quarter of 2015 from the 2014 sale of Springstone LLC. In addition, net securities income was down $3.7 million from 2015 due to a $0.7 million securities loss in 2016 versus a net securities gain for $3.0 million in 2015. The decreases were offset by increases in retirement plan and administration fees, other noninterest income, ATM and debit card fees, bank owned life insurance income and insurance and other financial services revenue. Retirement plan administration fees were up $1.9 million, or 13.6%, from 2015 due primarily to the 2015 fourth quarter acquisition of Third Party Administrators, Inc. and the 2016 third quarter acquisition of Actuarial Designs & Solutions, Inc. Other noninterest income was up $1.8 million, or 12.4%, primarily due to higher swap fee income in 2016 than in 2015, an increase in mortgage banking income and a $0.9 million gain on the sale of equity investments for compliance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in the third quarter of 2016.
Noninterest income for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was $28.1 million, down $1.6 million, or 5.2%, from the prior quarter and down $4.4 million, or 13.5%, from the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease from the third quarter of 2016 is primarily due to the aforementioned $0.7 million securities loss and decreases in insurance and other financial services revenue in the fourth quarter of 2016. In addition, other noninterest income decreased from the third quarter of 2016 due to lower mortgage banking income and swap fees that were offset by an equity investment dividend. Net securities income was down $3.7 million from 2015 due to the aforementioned $0.7 million securities loss versus a net securities gain of $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Other noninterest income decreased from the fourth quarter of 2015 due to a $1.6 million favorable settlement of an accrual in the fourth quarter of 2015 offset by higher swap fees in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $235.9 million, down $0.3 million, or 0.1%, from 2015. This decrease was driven by lower other noninterest expense during 2016 than 2015 primarily due to reorganization expenses incurred during the third quarter of 2015, offset by higher salaries and employee benefits expense in 2016. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $5.4 million, or 4.3%, from 2015 to 2016, due to higher salaries and medical insurance costs that were partially offset by lower pension credit and contract termination costs. Income tax expense for 2016 was $40.4 million, up $0.2 million, or 0.5%, from the prior year. The effective tax rate was 34.0% for 2016 down from 34.5% for 2015.
Noninterest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was $57.6 million, down $2.0 million, or 3.3%, from the previous quarter and down $3.0 million, or 4.9%, from the same period in 2015. The decrease from the prior quarter is due to lower other operating expenses, primarily due to a $1.4 million favorable accrual adjustment and lower salaries and employee benefits expenses partially offset by higher professional and outside services in the fourth quarter of 2016. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2015 is due to lower salaries and employee benefits expenses due primarily to contract termination costs in the fourth quarter of 2015 and lower other operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2016 due to the aforementioned favorable accrual adjustment. Income tax expenses for the three month period ended December 31, 2016 was $10.1 million, down $0.2 million, or 2.0%, from the third quarter of 2016, and down $0.4 million, or 3.4%, from the fourth quarter of 2015. The effective tax rate of 34.0% for the fourth quarter of 2016 was consistent with the prior quarter and down from 35.3% for the fourth quarter of 2015.
Asset Quality
Net charge-offs were $23.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, up from $21.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Provision expense was $25.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, as compared with $18.3 million for 2015; the increase in provision expense was primarily due to loan growth.
