Earnings Summary
The increase in net income available to common shareholders compared to the first quarter of 2013 resulted from a $5.8 million increase in net interest income and a $3.1 million increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in noninterest expense.
Net income available to common shareholders compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 was primarily impacted by a $1.0 million decrease in provision for loan losses and a $1.7 million increase in warrant income, largely offset by a $1.5 million decline in income from fees that are contingent upon customer success events, the impact of the $0.4 million gain from the purchase of Sand Hill Finance recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013, and $1.0 million in overall additional personnel expenses.
Net Interest Income and Margin (Fully Tax Equivalent Basis)
The information set forth below contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Net interest income and the net interest margin are presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis based on the federal statutory rate of 35% to consistently reflect income from taxable loans and securities and tax-exempt securities. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to its most comparable GAAP measure.
For the first quarter of 2014, net interest income increased $6.2 million, or 35.7%, to $23.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2013. The increase in net interest income was primarily the result of our continued success in growing our loan portfolio and low cost deposits, along with higher yields on our investment portfolio driven by lower premium amortization on agency mortgage-backed securities and strategic changes in our investment portfolio mix. The increase in interest income included a $3.6 million, or 28.5%, increase in interest income on loans, a $1.4 million, or 43.7%, increase in interest income on taxable securities, and a $1.1 million, or 70.0%, increase in interest income on nontaxable securities. Deposit growth of $535.7 million, or 33.2%, supported a 30.0% increase in the average balance of our loan portfolio, a 28.0% increase in the average balance of taxable securities and 54.1% growth in the average balance of nontaxable securities. Interest expense of $0.3 million was largely flat, decreasing 3.6% from the first quarter of 2013 notwithstanding an increase in our average balance of deposits.
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2014 increased $0.3 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. An increase in investment interest income of $0.6 million from higher average balances and higher yields was partially offset by a decrease in loan interest income of $0.3 million from lower loan yields and two less days in the quarter.
For the first quarter of 2014 our net interest margin increased to 4.12% from 3.95% versus the same period in the prior year. This increase was due largely to our decision in 2013 to invest a greater percentage of interest-earning assets in higher yielding municipal bonds. An additional driver of the increase in our net interest margin was lower premium amortization on agency mortgage-backed securities resulting from slower prepayments, which was partially offset by a 7 basis point decline in the yield earned on our loan portfolio in response to competitive pressures in the current low rate environment. For the first quarter of 2014, our net interest margin increased to 4.12% from 3.96% for the fourth quarter of 2013. This increase was largely due to the higher utilization of excess cash in interest earning assets and lower premium amortization on agency mortgage-backed securities resulting from slower prepayments, partially offset by a 6 basis point decline in yield earned on our loan portfolio.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2014 was $7.1 million, an increase of $3.1 million, or 76.8%, compared to the first quarter of 2013 and was up $0.2 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase in noninterest income compared to the first quarter of 2013 was primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in fees charged to customers driven by new customer growth and our ability to cross-sell these banking services, and $2.2 million in warrant income for the first quarter of 2014 compared to $0.2 million in losses for the first quarter of 2013, offset by $0.3 million less in gains from the sale of SBA loans.
The $0.2 million increase in noninterest income compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 was due to $1.7 million higher warrant income and a $0.4 million increase in foreign exchange fees income, largely offset by lower other noninterest income. The decrease in other noninterest income was driven by a $1.5 million decline in income from success fees that are typically volatile and are contingent upon customer success events, such as an acquisition, and the impact of a $0.4 million gain in the fourth quarter of 2013 on the purchase of Sand Hill Finance.
The $2.4 million and $1.7 million higher warrant income in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013 and the fourth quarter of 2013, respectively, was due to the volume of successful liquidity events, including IPOs, for the clients in which we had taken warrant positions and changes in the fair value of our equity warrant assets. These variances demonstrate the volatility of this income which is created, in part, by the erratic nature of public equity markets and their receptivity to IPOs. During the first of quarter 2014, we realized gains on monetized warrants held in two of our portfolio company clients that had IPOs as the respective lock-up periods for those securities expired, and we recognized unrealized gains on warrants
held in five portfolio company clients that experienced IPOs during the period. The change in the fair value of our equity warrants portfolio resulted in unrealized income of $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to an unrealized loss of $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $0.3 million unrealized income in the fourth quarter of 2013. As of March 31, 2014, the $6.6 million valuation on warrants held included $2.5 million held in equity securities of six publicly traded companies, which we intend to monetize upon expiration of the respective lock-up periods for those securities, compared to $1.0 million held in equity securities of three publicly traded companies as of December 31, 2013.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2014 increased $2.6 million, or 19.6% compared to the first quarter of 2013 and increased $0.5 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. These increases were primarily due to $2.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, higher personnel expenses in the first quarter of 2014 driven by increases of 32 and nine full-time equivalent employees, respectively, and higher incentive compensation expense. The $1.0 million higher personnel expenses compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 were partially offset by a $0.4 million reduction in professional fees.
Loans and Credit Quality
Average loans grew $246.5 million, or 30.0%, to $1.1 billion and period-end loans increased $261.8 million, or 32.8%, compared to the first quarter of 2013. Average loans grew $16.3 million, or 1.5%, while period-end loans decreased $21.2 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 due to the year-end seasonal nature of capital call lines to venture firm clients. Period end loans to venture firms decreased $51.9 million, while total loans to venture-backed companies, including life sciences, technology and asset-based loans were up $22.9 million, or 2.6%, at March 31, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013. The amount of loan commitments that are utilized by venture firm clients tend to be volatile throughout the year and often increase at the end of the year when these clients may increase the amount drawn on their lines of credit for various business reasons. The increase in our asset-based loans was primarily due to our strategic focus on expanding this product line to better serve the needs of our expansion and late stage clients.
At March 31, 2014, nonperforming loans totaled $9.6 million, or 0.91%, of total loans compared to $14.5 million, or 1.34% of total loans for the fourth quarter of 2013 and $18.1 million, or 2.26%, of total loans for the first quarter of 2013. The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans at March 31, 2014 was 198.65%, compared to 127.05% at December 31, 2013, and 93.01% at March 31, 2013. Net loan charge-offs were $2.2 million, or 0.85%, of average loans (annualized) for the first quarter of 2014 compared to a net loan recovery of $0.2 million, or 0.09%, of average loans (annualized) for the first quarter of 2013.
Investments
Average investments grew $277.6 million, or 32.5%, compared to the first quarter of 2013 and grew $64.4 million, or 2.9%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. Our available-for-sale securities portfolio totaled $980.7 million at March 31, 2014, an increase of $56.4 million, or 6.1%, compared to $924.2 million at December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to purchases of new investment securities, consisting mostly of agency and non-agency mortgage backed securities and other asset-backed securities. Our held to maturity securities portfolio had an amortized cost of $169.5 million at March 31, 2014, an increase of $15.3 million, or 9.9%, compared to $154.3 million at December 31, 2013.
Deposits and Client Investment Funds
Average on-balance sheet deposits grew $535.7 million, or 33.2% to $2.2 billion, compared to the first quarter of 2013 and decreased $2.5 million, or 0.1%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. Our period-end deposits increased to $2.2 billion for the first quarter of 2014, from $1.8 billion for the first quarter of 2013, an increase of $425.0 million, or 24.0%, and from $2.1 billion for the fourth quarter of 2013, an increase of $91.5 million, or 4.3%. This increase was primarily due to growth of our client base and the strong funding and IPO market for venture-backed firms. In 2013, we introduced an interest-bearing demand deposit account, which also accounted for the deposit growth since the first quarter of 2013. While our noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $8.9 million, or 0.6%, during the first quarter of 2014, our interest-bearing deposits increased $100.3 million, or 13.8% during this same period. Despite the increase in interest-bearing deposits, interest expense on deposits was $0.1 million, $0.2 million, and $0.1 million as the average cost of deposits was 0.02%, 0.03% and 0.03% for the first quarter of 2014, the fourth quarter of 2013, and the first quarter of 2013, respectively, due to the continued low interest rate environment. Changes in our period-end deposits at year-end and for the first quarter are impacted by the timing of year-end activity of our customers, primarily venture firms.
Average off-balance sheet client investment funds grew $283.8 million, or 82.0% to $630.0 million, compared to the first quarter of 2013 and grew $64.9 million, or 11.5%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. Our period-end client investment funds increased to $643.5 million for the first quarter of 2014, from $322.2 million for the first quarter of 2013, an increase of 99.7%, and from $557.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, an increase of 15.3% as our clients took advantage of alternative
cash investment vehicles offered by Square 1 Asset Management, our wholly-owned subsidiary formed in 2013. Square 1 Asset Management offers customized solutions to our clients that are tailored to meet the unique corporate cash management needs of entrepreneurial companies and venture firms.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The information set forth in this release contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures for us are “efficiency ratio,” “tangible common equity to tangible assets” and “net operating income.” Although we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of our business, these measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measures that may be presented by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
The information provided below reconciles each non-GAAP measure to its most comparable GAAP measure.
