The calculation of the Company’s annualized return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity and the reconciliation to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) is included in the schedules accompanying this release.
Non-purchased loans and leases were $4.77 billion at June 30, 2015, a 50.3% increase from $3.17 billion at June 30, 2014. Including purchased loans, total loans and leases were $6.59 billion at June 30, 2015, a 44.1% increase from $4.58 billion at June 30, 2014.

Mortgage lending income increased 57.4% to $1.77 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $1.13 million in the second quarter of 2014. Mortgage lending income increased 57.6% to $3.28 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to $2.08 million in the first six months of 2014.
Trust income increased 7.3% to $1.46 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $1.36 million in the second quarter of 2014. Trust income increased 8.0% to $2.90 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to $2.68 million in the first six months of 2014.
BOLI income increased 39.7% to $1.79 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $1.28 million in the second quarter of 2014, but decreased 50.7% from $3.62 million in the first quarter of 2015. The increase in BOLI income in this year’s second quarter compared to the second quarter in 2014 is primarily due to $85 million of BOLI purchased in May 2015. The decrease in BOLI income in this year’s second quarter compared to this year’s first quarter is primarily due to $2.3 million of tax-exempt BOLI death benefits in the first quarter of 2015. BOLI income increased 124.6% to $5.41 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to $2.41 million in the first six months of 2014 primarily due to the $2.3 million of BOLI death benefits in the first quarter of 2015 and the $85 million of BOLI purchased in May 2015.
Other income from purchased loans increased 92.1% to $6.97 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $3.63 million in the second quarter of 2014, but decreased 21.7% compared to $8.91 million in the first quarter of 2015.

Net gains on sales of other assets increased to $5.39 million for the first six months of 2015 compared to $2.42 million for the first six months of 2014. The increases in the Company’s other income from purchased loans and net gains on sales of other assets during 2015 are, in part, attributable to the Company having terminated, in the fourth quarter of 2014, the loss share agreements on all seven of its FDIC-assisted acquisitions. Subsequent to the termination of such loss share agreements, all recoveries, gains, charge-offs, losses and expenses related to the previously covered assets are recognized entirely by the Company, since the FDIC no longer shares in such items. Accordingly, the Company’s earnings are positively impacted to the extent it recognizes recoveries in excess of the carrying value of such assets and gains on any sales. Conversely, its earnings are negatively impacted to the extent it recognizes charge-offs, losses on any sales and expenses related to such assets.
Net gains on investment securities were $0.08 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $0.02 million in the second quarter of 2014. Net gains on investment securities were $2.62 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to $0.02 million in the first six months of 2014.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company incurred prepayment penalties of $2.5 million from prepaying FHLB advances, approximately $1.3 million of acquisition-related and systems conversion expenses and $0.7 million of software and contract termination charges.
