The Company recorded gross loan balances of $900.4 million at March 31, 2018, compared with $810.2 million and $879.8 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2017, respectively, an increase of $90.2 million and $20.6 million, respectively. The increase in gross loans compared to the same period a year ago and the prior period was driven by organic loan originations by our SBA division and by our expanded Sacramento commercial banking group.
Average loan balances were $883.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compared with $806.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and $839.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $77.1 million or 10% and an increase of $44.9 million or 22% annualized, respectively.
The average yield on loans during the quarter was 4.92% compared to 4.72% and 4.77% for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The current quarter income on loans of $10.7 million included $229 thousand from prepayment penalties and interest income from nonaccrual loans that were sold or repaid during the quarter which enhanced the average yield by ten basis points.

As of March 31, 2018, we maintained noninterest-bearing cash positions of $16.2 million and interest-bearing deposits of $17.4 million at the Federal Reserve Bank and correspondent banks. The reduction in cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2017 to March 31, 2018 reflects the seasonal decline in deposits which, in 2018, has been greater than it was in the prior two years.
Investment securities totaled $255.9 million at March 31, 2018, compared with $212.8 million and $268.0 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Our investment securities portfolio provides us with a secondary source of liquidity to fund higher yielding asset opportunities, such as loan originations. During the first quarter of 2018, we purchased 12 securities with a par value of $19.6 million and weighted average yield of 3.11% and sold 29 securities with a par value of $18.7 million and weighted average yield of 2.27%. The sales activity on available-for-sale securities resulted in $36 thousand in net realized gains. During the same period, we received $7.9 million in proceeds from principal payments, calls and maturities within the investment securities portfolio.
Average securities balances and weighted average tax equivalent yields for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were $265.1 million and 2.75% compared to $211.1 million and 3.06%, respectively. The current quarter tax equivalent yields were reduced by 17 basis points as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 which reduced the federal corporate tax rate from a graduated rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%.
At March 31, 2018, our net unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities were $3.9 million compared with net unrealized losses of $891 thousand and $452 thousand at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The changes in the net unrealized loss on the investment securities portfolio are due to changes in market interest rates and the reclassification of all HTM securities to AFS during the fourth quarter of 2017.

First Quarter of 2018 Compared With First Quarter of 2017
Net income for the first quarter of 2018 increased $989 thousand compared to the first quarter of 2017. In the current quarter, net interest income was $1.6 million higher and provision for loan and lease losses was $200 thousand lower. These positive changes were offset by noninterest income that was $489 thousand lower, noninterest expense that was $43 thousand higher and a provision for income tax that was $290 thousand higher.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased $1.6 million compared to the same period a year ago.
Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased $1.7 million or 16% to $12.5 million. Interest and fees on loans increased $1.3 million due to a $77.1 million increase in average loan balances and a 20 basis point increase in the average yield on the loan portfolio. Interest on securities increased $353 thousand due to a $54.0 million increase in average securities balances and a two basis point increase in the average yield on the securities portfolio. Interest on interest-bearing deposits due from banks increased $15 thousand primarily due to a 78 basis point increase in average yield resulting from increased fed funds rates.
Interest expense for the first quarter of 2018 increased $102 thousand or 9% to $1.2 million. The net increase was due to the following:
- Interest expense on interest bearing deposits increased $51 thousand. Average interest-bearing demand and savings deposit balances increased $47.1 million, while average certificate of deposit balances decreased $33.3 million. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increased two basis points.
- Interest expense on other interest bearing liabilities increased $51 thousand primarily due to increased borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco.
Provision for loan and lease loss
As a result of continued improved asset quality and net loan loss recoveries, no provision for loan and lease losses was necessary during the current quarter compared with a provision for loan and lease losses of $200 thousand for the same quarter a year ago.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased $489 thousand compared to the first quarter for 2017. During the first quarter of 2017 we recognized income from life insurance death benefit proceeds of $502 thousand.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased only $43 thousand compared to the same period a year previous.
The Company’s efficiency ratio was 65.17% for the first quarter of 2018 compared to 71.31% during the same period in 2017.
Income Tax Provision
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, our income tax provision of $1.1 million on pre-tax income of $4.3 million was an effective tax rate of 24.5%. The current quarter effective tax rate reflects the benefits of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 which reduced the federal corporate tax rate from a graduated rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%. The tax provision for the first quarter of the prior year was $763 thousand on pre-tax income of $3.0 million for an effective tax rate of 25.31%. Life insurance death benefits of $502 thousand recorded during the first quarter of 2017 are not subject to income tax, and if excluded from pretax income, the effective tax rate would have been 30.36%.
First Quarter of 2018 Compared With Fourth Quarter of 2017
Net income for the first quarter of 2018 increased $3.2 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. In the current quarter, net interest income was $476 thousand higher, the provision for loan and lease losses was $450 thousand lower and the provision for income taxes was $2.8 million lower. These positive changes were offset by noninterest income that was $300 thousand lower and noninterest expenses that were $142 thousand higher.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased $476 thousand over the prior quarter.
Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased $483 thousand or 4% to $12.5 million. Interest and fees on loans increased $646 thousand due to a $44.9 million increase in average loan balances and a 15 basis point increase in the average yield on the loan portfolio. Interest on investment securities decreased $68 thousand due to a $6.9 million decrease in average securities balances partially offset by a two basis point increase in average yield. Interest on interest-bearing deposits due from banks decreased $95 thousand due to a $34.1 million decrease in average balances.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased $7 thousand or 1% to $1.2 million. Interest expense on deposits declined $42 thousand as average interest-bearing demand and savings deposits increased $10.0 million, average certificates of deposit declined $13.0 million and the average rate paid on these deposits declined one basis point. This was offset by new borrowings from the Federal Home loan Bank of San Francisco which averaged $12.4 million and carried interest expense of $47 thousand. Variances in interest expense on other term debt were immaterial.
Provision for loan and lease loss
As a result of continued improved asset quality and net loan loss recoveries, no provision for loan and lease losses was necessary during the current quarter compared with a provision for loan and lease losses of $450 thousand for the prior quarter.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased $300 thousand. During the current quarter gains on sale of OREO were $16 thousand compared to gains on sale of OREO of $346 thousand in the prior quarter.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased $142 thousand compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily related to employee compensation.
The Company’s efficiency ratio was 65.17% for the first quarter of 2018 compared to 64.94% during the prior quarter.
Income Tax Provision
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, our income tax provision of $1.1 million on pre-tax income of $4.3 million was an effective tax rate of 24.5%. This compares with a provision for income taxes of $3.8 million on pretax income of $3.8 million (99.8% effective tax rate) for the prior quarter. The income tax provision in the prior quarter included a $2.5 million write-down of our net deferred tax assets and if excluded from the calculation, the effective tax rate would have been 34.5%
Earnings Per Share
Diluted earnings per share were $0.20 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This compared with diluted earnings per share of $0.17 for the same period a year ago and diluted earnings per share of $0.00 for the prior period. Net income and weighted average shares used to calculate earnings per share – diluted are summarized in table 6 presented earlier in this press release.

We continue to monitor credit quality and adjust the ALLL to ensure that the ALLL is maintained at a level that is adequate to cover estimated credit losses in the loan and lease portfolio. As a result of continued improved asset quality and net loan loss recoveries, no provision for loan and lease losses was necessary during the current quarter. This compared with a provision of $200 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and a $450 thousand provision for loan and lease losses during the three months ended December 31, 2017. Our ALLL as a percentage of gross loans was 1.37% as of March 31, 2018 compared to 1.44% as of March 31, 2017 and 1.36% as of December 31, 2017. Based on the Bank’s ALLL methodology, which uses criteria such as risk factors and historical loss rates, and given the ongoing improvements in asset quality, management believes the Company’s ALLL is adequate at March 31, 2018. There is, however, no assurance that future loan and lease losses will not exceed the levels provided for in the ALLL and could possibly result in future charges to the provision for loan and lease losses.
At March 31, 2018, the recorded investment in loans classified as impaired totaled $11.5 million, with a corresponding specific reserve of $1.1 million compared to impaired loans of $16.8 million with a corresponding specific reserve of $1.3 million at March 31, 2017 and impaired loans of $13.1 million, with a corresponding specific reserve of $1.2 million at December 31, 2017. The decrease in loans classified as impaired and nonaccrual loans compared to the prior quarter is primarily due to one commercial loan relationship and one commercial real estate loan that were paid off during the quarter. The decrease in the specific reserve on impaired loans compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to one commercial loan.

The March 31, 2018 OREO balance consists of three 1-4 family residential real estate property in the amount of $60 thousand. The increase in the OREO balance compared to the prior quarter is due to the transfer of three 1-4 family residential properties to OREO totaling $60 thousand offset by the disposition of one 1-4 family residential property for $35 thousand. Net gains on sale of OREO in the current quarter were $16 thousand compared to net losses of $71 thousand and net gains of $346 thousand in the same quarter a year ago and in the prior quarter, respectively.
