Included in the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is the impact of the sale, on March 31, 2016, of twenty-seven nonperforming loans, nine substandard performing loans, and three purchased credit impaired loans with total contractual principal balances outstanding of $31,487,000, and recorded book value, including pre-sale write downs and purchase discounts, of approximately $24,810,000. Net proceeds from the sale of these loans were $27,049,000, and resulted in additional net loan write downs of $21,000, the recovery of $1,237,000 of interest income that was previously applied to the principal balance of loans in nonaccrual status, and a gain on sale of loans of $103,000.
Also, included in the results of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $622,000 of nonrecurring noninterest expense related to the Company’s acquisition of three bank branches from Bank of
America on March 18, 2016. The branches are located in the cities of Arcata, Eureka, and Fortuna in Humboldt County, California. The Bank paid $3,204,000 for deposit relationships with balances of $161,231,000 and loans with balances of $289,000, and received $159,520,000 in cash from Bank of America. The acquisition of the deposits and cash in this acquisition, on March 18, 2016, had a muted effect on average assets and average deposit balances for the quarter ended March 31,2 016, but had full effect in the quarters thereafter.
The Company’s primary source of revenue is net interest income, or the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Included in the Company’s net interest income is interest income from municipal bonds that is almost entirely exempt from Federal income tax. These municipal bonds are classified as investments – nontaxable, and the Company may present the interest income from these bonds on a fully tax equivalent (FTE) basis.
Loans acquired through purchase, or acquisition of other banks, are classified by the Company as Purchased Not Credit Impaired (PNCI), Purchased Credit Impaired – cash basis (PCI – cash basis), or Purchased Credit Impaired – other (PCI – other). Loans not acquired in an acquisition or otherwise “purchased” are classified as “originated”. Often, such purchased loans are purchased at a discount to face value, and part of this discount is accreted into (added to) interest income over the remaining life of the loan. A loan may also be purchased at a premium to face value, in which case, the premium is amortized into (subtracted from) interest income over the remaining life of the loan. Generally, as time goes on, the effects of loan discount accretion and loan premium amortization decrease as the purchased loans mature or pay off early. Upon the early pay off of a loan, any remaining (unaccreted) discount or (unamortized) premium is immediately taken into interest income; and as loan payoffs may vary significantly from quarter to quarter, so may the impact of discount accretion and premium amortization on interest income. Further details regarding interest income from loans, including fair value discount accretion, may be found under the heading “Supplemental Loan Interest Income Data” in the Consolidated Financial Data table at the end of this press release.

Net interest income (FTE) during the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased $678,000 (1.6%) from the same period in 2016 to $42,618,000. The increase in net interest income (FTE) was due to volume increases in average balances of loans, investments – nontaxable, and Federal funds sold, and yield increases in investments – taxable and Federal funds sold that were partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on loans compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, average loan balances were $2,758,544,000, and represented a $220,970,000 (8.7%) increase compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. These increased loan balances added approximately $3,027,000 to interest income compared to the year-ago quarter. The yield on loans decreased 42 basis points from 5.48% during the three months ended March 31, 2016 to 5.06% during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Included in interest income from loans during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $1,541,000 of discount accretion from purchased loans compared to $1,092,000 of discount accretion from
purchased loans during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Also, as noted above, included in interest income from loans during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $1,237,000 of interest recovered upon the sale of loans. Excluding the $1,237,000 addition to loan interest income from the sale of loans during the three months ended March 31, 2016, the yield on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2016 would have been approximately 5.29%. The decrease in loan yields during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 reduced interest income by approximately $2,851,000. The result of these loan volume and yield changes was a net increase in loan interest income of $176,000 compared to the year-ago quarter; and is reflected in the table below that sets forth a summary of the changes in interest income and interest expense from changes in average asset and liability balances (volume) and changes in average interest yields and rates for each category of interest earning asset and interest paying liability for the periods indicated:

The decrease in average loan yields is primarily due to declines in market yields on new and renewed loans compared to yields on repricing, maturing, and paid off loans, and despite 25 basis point increases in the Prime lending rate in each of December 2015, December 2016, and March 2017. For more information related to loan interest income, including loan purchase discount accretion, see theSupplemental Loan Interest Income Data in the tables at the end of this announcement.
The Company recorded a reversal of provision for loan losses of $1,557,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to a provision for loan losses of $209,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The $1,557,000 reversal of provision for loan losses during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to net loan recoveries of $71,000, a $617,000 reduction in nonperforming loans, and continued low historical loan loss experience. Nonperforming loans were $19,511,000, or 0.71% of loans outstanding as of March 31, 2017, and represented a decrease from 0.73% of loans outstanding at December 31, 2016, and a decrease from 0.95% of loans outstanding as of March 31, 2016.

Noninterest income increased $1,913,000 (19.5%) to $11,703,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to a $622,000 increase in ATM fees and interchange income, a $254,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts, and a $685,000 increase in change in value of mortgage servicing rights. The $622,000 increase in ATM fees and interchange revenue was due primarily to the Company’s continued focus in this area, as the effects of new services, fees, and operational changes introduced throughout 2016 were compounded by continued growth in electronic payments volume. The $254,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts was due primarily to increased fee generation from both consumer and business checking customers. The $685,000 increase in change in value of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) to a negative $13,000 from a negative $698,000 in the year-ago quarter was due primarily to an increase in estimated prepayment speeds of serviced loans that in turn resulted in a decrease in expected servicing cash flows, and thus, a $698,000 reduction in the value of the Company’s MSRs during the three months ended March 31, 2016. During the months ended March 31, 2017, there were no factors that significantly affected the value of the Company’s MSRs.

Salary and benefit expenses increased $1,628,000 (8.5%) to $20,893,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $19,265,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Base salaries, overtime and temporary help, net of deferred loan origination costs increased $682,000 (5.4%) to $13,390,000. Base salaries, net of deferred loan origination costs increased $1,147,000 (9.7%) to $13,028,000 primarily due to annual merit increases, and an increase in average full-time equivalent employees of 50 (5.2%) to 1,015 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Overtime expense was unchanged at $281,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017. Temporary help expense decreased $466,000 to $81,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 as temporary help expense during the three months ended March 31, 2016 included a significant amount of overtime expense related to system conversion efforts that were completed during 2016.
Commissions and incentive compensation increased $459,000 (26.4%) to $2,198,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the year-ago quarter. All categories of incentive compensation expense were higher than the year-ago quarter except commission expense related to the sale of nondeposit investment products.
Benefits & other compensation expense increased $487,000 (10.1%) to $5,305,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily due to the increases in average full-time equivalent employees and salaries expense, and their effects on group insurance and employer payroll tax expenses.
Other noninterest expense increased $443,000 (3.1%) to $14,929,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The $443,000 increase in other noninterest expense was due primarily to increases in occupancy, equipment, data processing and software, and operational loss expenses. These increases from the year-ago period were partially offset by decreases in ATM network charges, and (deposit insurance) assessment expense and the absence of merger and acquisitions expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2017.
The $384,000 increase in occupancy expense was due to increased premises lease and maintenance expense. The $337,000 increase in equipment expense was due primarily to increased equipment maintenance expense. The $553,000 increase in data processing and software expense was due primarily to outsourced data processing expenses resulting from the Company’s system outsourcing that occurred in 2016. The $271,000 increase in operational losses is due primarily to increased debit card losses. The $376,000 decrease in ATM network charges is due primarily to the Company’s system outsourcing that occurred in 2016.
The changes in noninterest income and noninterest expense noted above also include the effects from the operation of three branches, including $161,231,000 of deposits, acquired from Bank of America on March 18, 2016.
Richard Smith, President and CEO of the Company commented, “We enjoyed strong earnings in the first quarter of 2017 despite operating in a difficult environment caused by record-breaking winter weather. While the weather conditions slowed construction and agricultural-related business activities during the quarter and resulted in seasonally lower loan growth, the good news is that the long California drought appears to have ended.
Smith added, “This quarter, we introduced a much simpler and streamlined consumer deposit products line-up. These new solutions have been well-received by our customers and contributed positively to noninterest income during the quarter.”
