We are seeing excellent opportunities, particularly in our commercial and residential mortgage business. We delivered strong loan growth, excellent revenue growth and focused expense management.

Balance Sheet Highlights
Total Loans
Total loans, including loans held for sale, increased $195.5 million, or 16.3% to $1.4 billion at March 31, 2016, compared to March 31, 2015, and 12.8% on an annualized basis during the quarter compared to December 31, 2015. Growth of the commercial loan portfolio was the primary driver. Commercial loan production of $73.8 million for the first quarter was approximately double the pace of the first quarter of 2015, while commercial loan balances grew just over 10% for the quarter and over 50% compared to the first quarter of 2015. Unfunded commercial loan commitments grew by 18.1% during the quarter to approximately $122.2 million at March 31, 2016.
Residential loans, including residential loans held for sale, grew at a measured pace, increasing $51.5 million at March 31, 2016 compared to the March 31, 2015. Pipeline levels remain strong; at the end of the first quarter, they were approximately 18% ahead of the same period last year.
Total Deposits
Total deposits increased $59.9 million, or 4.3% to $1.4 billion at March 31, 2016, compared to March 31, 2015, and 8.6% on an annualized basis during the quarter compared to December 31, 2015. The Company continues to see improvement in growing consumer and business deposits with the growth of public funds being a key driver in the first quarter of 2016. Noninterest bearing checking accounts grew $31.3 million, or 15.7% at March 31, 2016, compared to March 31, 2015.
First Quarter Results
Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis was $15.0 million in the first quarter of 2016, up 7.8% from the $13.9 million recorded in the first quarter of 2015. The improvement in net interest income was due to the growth in average net loan balances totaling $179.5 million.
Net interest margin was 3.21% for the first quarter of 2016, an increase from 3.16% reported in the fourth quarter of 2015. This increase was due to realizing the benefit from the prepayment of high-cost debt in the fourth quarter. The Company continues to experience pressure on the yields of earning assets due to a prolonged period on low interest rates.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Company recognized a provision for loan losses expense of $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to a recovery of $184,000 in the first quarter of 2015. The elevated provision in the quarter was necessary as a result of loan growth and a charge-off of a long-held commercial real estate loan.
Small continued, “While we did experience an increase in net charge-offs during the quarter, the quality of our portfolio continues to improve as the book is more diversified and the level of criticized assets continue to fall. The chargeoff was not inconsistent with expectations for the year. We see this as an isolated event as credit metrics continue to improve.”
2
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income was $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2015. Deposit related fees are strong, increasing $261,000 in that time period. Additionally, the benefit of insurance related income from James & Sons Insurance is now being recognized. Partially offsetting these increases was a $274,000 higher valuation allowance recognized on mortgage servicing rights in the current quarter due to the decline of long-term interest rates in the first quarter of 2016.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense was $12.5 million for the first quarter of 2016, which represented a decrease of $217,000, or 1.7%, from the same quarter last year. Affecting the save was a one-time reduction in supervisory exam fees. The efficiency ratio continues to show improvement from 70.07% in the first quarter of 2015 to 63.90% in the first quarter of 2016.
Equity
Tangible book value per common share at March 31, 2016 improved to $5.27, as compared to $5.14 at December 31, 2015. Much of this improvement was due to changes in accumulated other comprehensive income as the drop in long-term interest rates resulted in a higher valuation of the Company’s securities portfolio. The Company continues its share repurchase program, repurchasing 431,000 shares during the quarter.
Dividend to be Paid
The Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.025 per common share payable May 13, 2016 to shareholders of record at the close of business May 3, 2016.
