NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 decreased $11.4 million to $4.5 million from $15.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, primarily due to the recognition of the gain of $11.4 million on the NRS investment in the prior quarter.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared to $13.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in the provision for the quarter was primarily driven by a decrease of $12.3 million in specific and taxi medallion related reserves.

Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2017 were $2.4 million compared to $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2017. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans and leases on an annualized basis increased to 17 basis points for the second quarter of 2017 from 7 basis points for the first quarter of 2017. The increase in net charge offs was due primarily to two commercial relationships.

The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.17 percent of total loans and leases at June 30, 2017, compared to 1.21 percent at March 31, 2017, and 1.09 percent at June 30, 2016.

The decrease to the allowance for loan and lease losses coverage ratio was primarily driven by the charge off of the specific reserve on two commercial relationships during the second quarter of 2017.

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 increased $1.0 million to $34.8 million from $33.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $1.1 million in compensation and employee benefits, an increase of $0.1 million in equipment and data processing, offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in other non-interest expense. The efficiency ratio for the second quarter was 57.93% compared to 48.92% for the first quarter of 2017 and 57.97% for the second quarter of 2016. The efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2017 was lower due to the gain on the NRS investment in that quarter.
