On August 10, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Community Bank (“CB”). Our financial statements for the third quarter include 51 days of CB operations, post-merger. At close, Citizens Business Bank acquired $2.73 billion of loans, assumed $1.26 billion of noninterest-bearing deposits, and $2.87 billion of total deposits.

Chris Myers, President and CEO of Citizens Business Bank, commented, “We successfully completed the merger with Community Bank during the quarter.

Net income of $38.6 million for the third quarter of 2018 produced an annualized return on average equity (“ROAE”) of 10.17%, and a return on average tangible common equity (“ROATCE”) of 15.05%.

interest, the net interest margin for the third quarter of 2018 grew by 25 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2018 and by 39 basis points over the third quarter of 2017. Total average earning asset yields (tax equivalent) were 4.23% for the third quarter of 2018, compared to 3.93% for the second quarter of 2018 and 3.81% for the third quarter of 2017. Total cost of funds increased to 0.18% for the third quarter of 2018, compared to 0.12% for both the second quarter of 2018 and the third quarter of 2017. The increase in the net interest margin from both the prior quarter and prior year was the result of higher loan yields and a change in asset mix with loans growing to 69.6% of earning assets in the third quarter, compared to 62.1% in the second quarter and 60.3% for the third quarter of 2017. Third quarter average loans grew by $1.57 billion and loan yields grew by 18 basis points compared to the second quarter. Compared to the third quarter of 2017, the net interest margin expanded primarily due to a 27 basis point increase in loan yields. As a result of higher levels of discount accretion on acquired loans and nonaccrual interest paid, third quarter interest income increased by $2.3 million compared to the second quarter and by $3.2 million in comparison to the third quarter of 2017. The tax equivalent yield on investments increased one basis point from the second quarter of 2018. The nominal yield on investments increased by 12 basis points compared to the third quarter of 2017, while the tax equivalent yield increased by only 7 basis points due to the reduction of the federal tax rate ontax-exempt investments resulting from the Tax Reform Act.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 28%, compared with 37.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Reform Act was enacted into law. Beginning in 2018, the Tax Reform Act reduces the federal tax rate for corporations from 35% to 21% and changes or limits certain tax deductions.

Assets

The Company reported total assets of $11.48 billion at September 30, 2018. This represented an increase of $3.21 billion, or 38.81%, from total assets of $8.27 billion at December 31, 2017. Interest-earning assets of $10.19 billion at September 30, 2018 increased $2.39 billion, or 30.67%, when compared with $7.80 billion at December 31, 2017. The increase in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $2.75 billion increase in total loans. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $345.6 million in investment securities. The increase in total loans included $2.73 billion of loans acquired from Community Bank in the third quarter of 2018.

The increase in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $2.84 billion increase in total loans, partially offset by a $458.8 million decrease in investment securities.

On August 10, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Community Bank with approximately $4.09 billion in total assets and 16 banking centers.

At the close of the merger, the entire security portfolio was liquidated at fair market value, as was $297.6 million of FHLB term advances and $166.0 million of overnight borrowings inherited from CB. Net cash proceeds were used to fund the $180.7 million in cash paid to the former shareholders of CB as part of the merger consideration.

The decline in dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans was due to seasonal dairy borrowings at year end.
