Tangible book value per share increased $0.11 from $8.52 at June 30, 2017 to $8.63 at September 30, 2017.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased $1.3 million to $56.8 million during the third quarter of 2017 from the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The net interest margin decreased 2 basis points to 3.57 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 increased $1.5 million to $6.0 million from $4.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $0.7 million in loan level derivative income and in gain on sales of loans and leases.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to $0.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The increase in the provision for the quarter was primarily driven by growth in loans and an increase in the loss factors as a result of the ongoing assessment of loss factors.

Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2017 were $2.0 million compared to $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2017. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans and leases on an annualized basis decreased to 14 basis points for the third quarter of 2017 from 17 basis points for the second quarter of 2017. Net charge offs in the third quarter of 2017 primarily consisted of $1.3 million of taxi medallion loans and $0.3 million of equipment financing loans as compared to $2.3 million of commercial loans in the second quarter of 2017.

The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.16 percent of total loans and leases at September 30, 2017, compared to 1.17 percent at June 30, 2017, and 1.10 percent at September 30, 2016. The allowance for loan and lease losses related to originated loans and leases represented 1.20 percent of originated loans and leases at September 30, 2017, compared to 1.20 percent at June 30, 2017, and 1.15 percent at September 30, 2016. 

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 increased $0.6 million to $35.4 million from $34.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $0.2 million in compensation and employee benefits, an increase of $0.2 million in merger and acquisition expense, and an increase of $0.4 million in other non-interest expense, offset by a decrease of $0.1 million in FDIC insurance. The efficiency ratio for the third quarter was 56.37 percent compared to 57.93 percent for the second quarter of 2017 and 57.89 percent for the third quarter of 2016.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 34.0 percent and 35.2 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The third quarter's effective tax rate was impacted by new accounting guidance that went into effect in 2017. This guidance requires that the excess tax benefit associated with stock compensation transactions be recorded through earnings as a discrete item within the Company's effective tax rate during the period of the transaction. The majority of the Company's stock compensation events typically occur in the third quarter. The prior guidance required the recognition of the excess tax benefit through additional paid in capital.

RETURNS ON AVERAGE ASSETS AND AVERAGE EQUITY

The annualized return on average assets increased to 0.92 percent during the third quarter of 2017 from 0.91 percent for the second quarter of 2017. The annualized return on average tangible assets increased to 0.94 percent for the third quarter of 2017 from 0.93 percent for the second quarter of 2017.

The annualized return on average stockholders' equity decreased to 7.64 percent during the third quarter of 2017 from 7.76 percent for the second quarter of 2017. The annualized return on average tangible stockholders’ equity decreased to 9.31 percent for the third quarter of 2017 from 9.58 percent for the second quarter of 2017.

ASSET QUALITY

The ratio of nonperforming loans and leases to total loans and leases was 0.71 percent at September 30, 2017 as compared to 0.76 percent at June 30, 2017. Nonperforming loans and leases decreased $2.3 million to $40.0 million at September 30, 2017 from $42.3 million at June 30, 2017. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.66 percent at September 30, 2017 as compared to 0.71 percent at June 30, 2017. Nonperforming assets decreased $2.8 million to $44.4 million at September 30, 2017 from $47.1 million at June 30, 2017. The decrease in nonperforming assets is due to the payoff of several nonperforming loans, charge offs of several taxi medallion loans, and sales of $0.5 million of other real estate owned and repossessed assets in the third quarter of 2017.

DIVIDEND DECLARED

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.09 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The dividend will be paid on November 17, 2017 to stockholders of record on November 3, 2017.
