| |
• | Commercial and business lending increased 1%, or $78 million from the year ago quarter to $7.2 billion, but decreased $207 million from the fourth quarter, primarily driven by $200 million of lower mortgage warehouse activity. |
Deposits

With respect to first quarter average balances:
| |
• | Interest-bearing demand deposits increased 32%, or $1.0 billion from the year ago quarter and increased $111 million from the fourth quarter to $4.3 billion. |
| |
• | Savings and time deposits increased 5%, or $153 million from the year ago quarter and increased $67 million from the fourth quarter to $3.1 billion. |
| |
• | Noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased 1%, or $31 million from the year ago quarter and decreased $328 million from the fourth quarter to $5.0 billion. |
| |
• | Money market deposits decreased 3%, or $263 million from the year ago quarter and decreased $127 million from the fourth quarter to $9.2 billion. |
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income was up 5%, or $8 million from the year ago quarter, with net interest margin increasing 3 basis points. First quarter net interest income of $180 million was essentially flat from the fourth quarter as higher yields on loans offset the impact of two fewer days in the quarter. Net interest margin of 2.84% increased 4 basis points from the fourth quarter.
| |
• | The average yield on total loans increased to 3.51% from 3.41% in the year ago quarter and increased from 3.40% in the prior quarter. |
| |
• | The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased to 0.42% from 0.30% in the year ago quarter and increased from 0.33% in the prior quarter. |
Noninterest Income
First quarter total noninterest income of $80 million was down 4%, or $3 million from the year ago quarter, reflecting less investment gains. As expected, total noninterest income was down 13%, or $12 million from the prior quarter, primarily related to a shift in the Company's mortgage retention strategy.
With respect to first quarter noninterest income line items:
| |
• | Brokerage and annuity commissions were up 14% from the year ago quarter and 3% from the prior quarter primarily due to a stronger market backdrop. |
| |
• | Capital market fees were up 10% from the year ago quarter, but decreased $4 million from the fourth quarter primarily due to fewer customer hedging transactions, lower valuation gains, and lower loan syndication activity. |
| |
• | Mortgage banking was up 9% from the year ago quarter, but decreased $7 million from the prior quarter reflecting reduced settlements, the Company's increased retention of mortgages on balance sheet, and the Company's switch to fair value accounting for the mortgage pipeline. |
| |
• | Insurance commissions were up 1% from the year ago quarter and increased 20% from the prior quarter primarily related to seasonally higher property and casualty insurance revenues. |
| |
• | BOLI, asset gains, and investment securities gains were down from both the year ago and prior quarters. |
Noninterest Expense
First quarter total noninterest expense of $174 million was essentially flat compared to the year ago quarter and decreased $5 million, or 3% from the prior quarter.
With respect to first quarter noninterest expense line items:
| |
• | Personnel expense was up $3 million from the year ago quarter, but decreased 3% from the prior quarter reflecting increased severance in the fourth quarter. |
| |
• | Occupancy expense was up $1 million from the year ago quarter and was up 11% from the prior quarter primarily related to increased snow plowing and higher lease terminations and adjustments. |
Noninterest Expense cont.
| |
• | Business development and advertising decreased $2 million from the year ago quarter and decreased 7% from the prior quarter driven by a shift in strategy largely from television to digital advertising. |
| |
• | All other noninterest expense line items, collectively, decreased $2 million from the year ago quarter and decreased 6% from the prior quarter. |
Taxes
First quarter income tax expense was $21 million with an effective tax rate of 27%, compared to $19 million and 31% in the year ago quarter, and $24 million and 30% in the prior quarter. The first quarter's lower effective tax rate was due to a change in accounting standards related to stock compensation which lowered income tax expense by $3 million. These tax effects are expected to be higher in the first quarter when the majority of the Company’s restricted stock awards vest.
Credit
First quarter provision for credit losses of $9 million decreased $11 million from the year ago quarter and was down $6 million from the prior quarter.
| |
• | Potential problem loans of $340 million were down $61 million from the year ago quarter and down $11 million from the prior quarter. |
| |
• | Nonaccrual loans of $260 million were down $26 million from the year ago quarter and down $15 million from the prior quarter. The nonaccrual loans to total loans ratio was 1.29% in the first quarter, compared to 1.49% in the year ago quarter, and 1.37% in the prior quarter. |

| |
• | The allowance related to the oil and gas portfolio was $42 million at March 31, 2017 and represented 6.7% of total oil and gas loans. |

Fully tax-equivalent adjustment | (1.30 | )% | (1.25 | )% | (1.21 | )% | (1.36 | )% | (1.37 | )% |

| |
(1) | The ratio tangible common equity to tangible assets excludes goodwill and other intangible assets, net. This financial measure has been included as it is considered to be a critical metric with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength. |
| |
(2) | These capital measurements are used by management, regulators, investors, and analysts to assess, monitor and compare the quality and composition of our capital with the capital of other financial services companies. |
| |
(3) | The efficiency ratio as defined by the Federal Reserve guidance is noninterest expense (which includes the provision for unfunded commitments) divided by the sum of net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding investment securities gains / losses, net. The fully tax-equivalent efficiency ratio is noninterest expense (which includes the provision for unfunded commitments), excluding other intangible amortization, divided by the sum of fully tax-equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding investment securities gains / losses, net. Management believes the fully tax-equivalent efficiency ratio, which adjusts net interest income for the tax-favored status of certain loans and investment securities, to be the preferred industry measurement as it enhances the comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. |
