FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets were $2.01 billion at September 30, 2016, a 37% increase compared to $1.47 billion at September 30, 2015. Total loans were $1.52 billion at September 30, 2016, an increase of $438 million, or 41% compared to September 30, 2015. Total deposits were $1.65 billion at September 30, 2016, a 37% increase compared to $1.21 billion at September 30, 2015. The increases in total assets, loans and deposits were primarily due to the acquisition of Metropolitan National Bank (“MNB”) on October 1, 2015.
Total stockholders’ equity was $232 million at September 30, 2016, a 30% increase from $179 million at September 30, 2015. Tangible common stockholders’ equity was $182 million at September 30, 2016, a 24% increase from $146 million at September 30, 2015. Book value per common share was $6.18 at September 30, 2016, a 15% increase from $5.36 at September 30, 2015. Tangible book value per common share was $4.83 at September 30, 2016, a 10% increase from $4.38 at September 30, 2015. The Company’s ratio of total stockholders’ equity to total assets decreased to 11.57% at September 30, 2016, compared to 12.15% at September 30, 2015. The calculation of the Company’s tangible book value per common share, tangible common stockholders’ equity and the reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are included in the schedules accompanying this release.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company recognized third quarter 2016 net income of $4.7 million or $0.13 per diluted common share compared to net income of $3.2 million or $0.10 per diluted common share in the third quarter of 2015, resulting in a return on average assets of 0.95% in the third quarter of 2016, compared to 0.87% in the third quarter of 2015. Calculation of net income in accordance with GAAP includes what the Company considers “non-core items,” which are items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance and which are not necessarily comparable from year to year. The Company reports core earnings, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as GAAP net income less non-core items. The reconciliation of GAAP net income to core earnings together with related financial measures and ratios is included in the schedules accompanying this release.
Third quarter 2016 core earnings totaled $4.3 million or $0.11 per diluted common share, compared to core earnings of $3.1 million or $0.09 per diluted common share in the third quarter of 2015. The core return on average assets measured 0.85% and0.83%, core return on average equity measured 7.28% and 6.88% and core return on average tangible equity measured 9.34% and 8.42% each for the third quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively. Non-core items during the third quarter of 2016 included net branch restructuring income of $323,000; gains (net of losses and provisions) on real estate owned totaling $444,000 and gains on sales of investment securities of $21,000. Collectively, the effect of all non-core items, net of taxes, increased GAAP net income by approximately $486,000, or approximately $0.02 of diluted earnings per share.
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2016 was $16.8 million compared to $12.2 million for the same period in 2015. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $50.4 million, compared to $36.8 million for the same period in 2015. Interest income for the third quarter of 2016 was $18.8 million compared to $13.7 million for the same period in 2015. Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $56.2 million compared to $41.4 million for the same period in 2015.The increases in interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same periods in 2015, were primarily related to increases in the average balance of loans receivable as a result of the MNB acquisition. Interest expense for the third quarter of 2016 was $2.0 million compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2015. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $5.8 million compared to $4.6 million for the same period in 2015. The increases in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015 were primarily due to increases in the average balance of interest bearing deposits as a result of the MNB acquisition.
Net interest margin measured 3.78% for the third quarter of 2016, compared to 3.74% for the same period in 2015. Net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 3.89%, compared to 3.76% for the same period in 2015. The Company’s net interest margin increased primarily as a result of an increase in average yield on interest earning assets resulting from a higher percentage of loans in the mix of interest earning assets. The average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.53% for the third quarter 2016, compared to 0.55% for the same period in 2015. The average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 0.52%, compared to 0.55% for the same period in 2015.
Noninterest income is generated primarily through deposit account fee income, profit on sale of mortgage loans, and earnings on life insurance policies. Total noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased to $4.3 million from $3.3 million for the same period in 2015, a 31% increase. Total noninterest income of $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased from $9.8 million for the same period in 2015, a 25% increase. The increases in the three and nine month comparison periods were primarily due to increases in deposit fee income and gain on sales of mortgage loans. The increase in deposit fee income was primarily due to an increase in deposit accounts resulting from the acquisition of MNB. The increase in gain on sales of loans was due to an increase in the volume of mortgage loans sold.
Total noninterest expense increased $2.9 million or 28% for the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015. Total noninterest expense increased $9.8 million or 29% during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The increases in total noninterest expense were primarily related to the increase in personnel and overhead costs incurred in connection with the MNB acquisition. The Company’s core efficiency ratio was 67% in the third quarter of 2016 compared to 69% in the third quarter of 2015.
Income tax provision increased by $855,000 or 56% for the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015. Income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased by $1.0 million or 27% compared to the same period in 2015. The increases in income tax provision were a result of an increase in taxable income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the income tax provision was reduced by $0.9 million for the valuation allowance reversal in the second quarter of 2016.
The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets decreased to 0.95% at September 30, 2016, compared to 1.30% at September 30, 2015. The allowance for loan losses represented 1.00% of total loans at September 30, 2016, compared to 1.30% at September 30, 2015. The ratio of allowance for loan losses plus discount on acquired loans to total loans was 1.77% at September 30, 2016, compared to 2.00% at September 30, 2015. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 86% at September 30, 2016, compared to 83% at September 30, 2015. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was0.07% compared to 0.08% for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Provision for loan losses increased from $331,000 for the third quarter of 2015 to $643,000 for the third quarter of 2016. Provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $1.7 million, compared to $931,000 for the same period in 2015. The increase in the provision is attributable to loan originations and a migration of acquired loans from the purchased loan portfolio to the originated loan portfolio.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures in addition to results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP measures provide supplemental perspectives on operating results, performance trends, and financial condition. They are not a substitute for GAAP measures and they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial information. In all cases, it should be understood that non-GAAP per share measures do not depict amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders. The Company utilizes the non-GAAP measure of core earnings, which management believes is useful in evaluating operating trends from period to period, including components of core revenue and core expense. Core earnings and its components exclude amounts that the Company views as unrelated to its normalized operations. Management and the Board of Directors also utilize core earnings or components of core earnings and related ratios in the preparation of the Company’s operating budgets, monthly financial performance reporting and investor presentations of Company performance and in the calculation of annual performance-based incentives for certain members of management. The Company recently modified its definition of core earnings to clarify that a material amount of net gains, losses or impairments to the Company’s real estate owned (“REO”) portfolio during an applicable reporting period will be considered a non-core item and will thus be excluded from core earnings. Immaterial net gains, losses and impairments to the REO portfolio, however, will not be considered a non-core item and will not be excluded from core earnings. The Company believes that while activity within the REO portfolio is a recurring aspect of its core business, material changes to the portfolio are not indicative of the Company’s normalized banking operations. This change in definition requires the Company to recast its previously-reported calculation of core earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 to give effect to a $385,000 net REO gain during that period.
The Company also reports certain non-GAAP equity measures (including tangible stockholders’ equity, tangible book value per common share and related ratios) that exclude intangible assets from their calculation. Management believes that these non-GAAP tangible measures provide additional useful information about the capital strength of the Company to the investment community, as these measures are widely used by industry analysts for banks and bank holding companies with prior merger and acquisition activity. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures is included in the accompanying financial tables.

(1) The Company recently amended its definition of core earnings to add a pre-tax materiality threshold for adjustments for net real estate owned provision/loss/gain during any fiscal quarter. As a result the adjustment for the quarter ending September 30, 2015 was recast to include the net gain as disclosed.
(2) The tax effect is calculated at the Company’s blended statutory rate of 38.29% for adjustments that impact taxable income.
(3) Core Efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP ratio that is calculated by dividing core noninterest expense by total core revenue (the sum of net interest income and core noninterest income). Other companies may define and calculate this data differently.
