NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income decreased $0.4 million to $62.3 million during the third quarter of 2018 from the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The net interest margin decreased 7 basis points to 3.57 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 increased $1.6 million to $7.1 million from $5.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $1.6 million in loan level derivative income.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared to $1.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The increase in the provision for the quarter was driven by specific reserves primarily related to taxi medallion loans. 

At the end of the quarter, the carrying value of taxi medallion loans was $14.5 million with reserves of $2.9 million. For collateral valuation purposes, taxi medallions are currently estimated at $35,000 for Boston and $20,000 for Cambridge. The Company has no taxi medallion exposure outside Massachusetts.

Total net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2018 were $0.6 million compared to $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2018, which was primarily driven by charge-offs in the taxi medallion portfolio. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans and leases on an annualized basis decreased to 4 basis points for the third quarter of 2018 from 15 basis points for the second quarter of 2018.

The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 0.96 percent of total loans and leases at September 30, 2018, compared to 0.94 percent at June 30, 2018, and 1.16 percent at September 30, 2017. The allowance for loan and lease losses related to originated loans and leases represented 1.00 percent of originated loans and leases at September 30, 2018, compared to 0.98 percent at June 30, 2018, and 1.20 percent at September 30, 2017.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 decreased $0.4 million to $37.3 million from $37.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases of $0.2 million in compensation and employee benefits, $0.3 million in merger and acquisition expense and $0.4 million in other non-interest expense, partially offset by increases of $0.2 million in equipment and data processing and $0.3 million in FDIC insurance.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 20.9 percent and 22.9 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. During the quarter, several discrete items were recognized, the most significant benefit related to a recent IRS ruling regarding section 162(m). The total of these favorable tax adjustments represents approximately $0.9 million or $0.01 per share. The Company expects the effective tax rate to be approximately 24 percent for the fourth quarter. 

RETURNS ON AVERAGE ASSETS AND AVERAGE EQUITY

The annualized return on average assets increased to 1.23 percent during the third quarter of 2018 from 1.15 percent for the second quarter of 2018. The annualized return on average tangible assets increased to 1.26 percent for the third quarter of 2018 from 1.17 percent for the second quarter of 2018.

The annualized return on average stockholders' equity increased to 10.10 percent during the third quarter of 2018 from 9.53 percent for the second quarter of 2018.

Nonperforming loans and leases remained consistent at $25.8 million for September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018, respectively.
