NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased $3.2 million to $62.7 million during the second quarter of 2018 from the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The net interest margin decreased 2 basis points to 3.64 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 decreased $0.7 million to $5.5 million from $6.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily driven by $1.2 million in gain on sales of securities in the prior quarter, a decrease of $0.3 million in loan level derivative income, offset by an increase of $0.4 million in gain on sales of loans and leases, an increase of $0.2 million in deposit fees and an increase of $0.2 million in other non-interest income.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The increase in the provision for the quarter was driven by specific reserves and charge-offs on commercial relationships, primarily taxi medallion loans, in the quarter.

Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2018 were $2.3 million compared to $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2018. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans and leases on an annualized basis increased to 15 basis points for the second quarter of 2018 from 3 basis points for the first quarter of 2018.

The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 0.94 percent of total loans and leases at June 30, 2018, compared to 0.96 percent at March 31, 2018, and 1.17 percent at June 30, 2017. The allowance for loan and lease losses related to originated loans and leases represented 0.98 percent of originated loans and leases at June 30, 2018, compared to 1.03 percent at March 31, 2018, and 1.20 percent at June 30, 2017.  Favorable economic trends are reflected in the methodology loss factors, which were a driver of the modest reduction in the allowance for loan and lease losses.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 decreased $2.2 million to $37.7 million from $39.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease of $2.6 million in merger and acquisition expense, a decrease of $0.3 million in equipment and data processing, and a decrease of $0.1 million in FDIC insurance, partially offset by an increase of $0.3 million in compensation and employee benefits and an increase of $0.5 million in other non-interest expense.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 25.3 percent and 24.0 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

RETURNS ON AVERAGE ASSETS AND AVERAGE EQUITY

The annualized return on average assets increased to 1.15 percent during the second quarter of 2018 from 1.08 percent for the first quarter of 2018.
