March 31, 2015 | QUARTERLY REPORT |
Dear Shareholder:
It is with great pride that I extend greetings to you as your new CEO with this Quarterly Report. Our first six weeks as part of the C&N Team have been productive and insightful as we have engaged in all aspects of our Company. Your Board and Management Team have been open and welcoming and I am very impressed with our people and the organization. We have a great history and strong foundation to continue building on and, after meeting virtually every member of our team and a number of key customers, I have developed an appreciation for the real commitment to our franchise throughout the communities that we serve. This commitment, combined with our ability to engage the C&N Team in delivering value to our customers and communities, provides the platform for generating profitable growth to our shareholders. While we are operating in a challenging economic and regulatory environment, I am confident in our ability to deliver on this objective in the years ahead.
During the first quarter of 2015, diluted earnings per share were $.31 compared to $.35 for the fourth quarter of 2014, and $.34 for the same period in 2014. Net interest income decreased $261,000 from the fourth quarter, although the net interest margin improved to 3.74% from 3.73% in Q4 2015. A flatter yield curve and lack of loan growth have put pressure on the margin, although it remains well above peer levels. Noninterest income declined $315,000 from the prior quarter primarily due to a reduction in the value of mortgage servicing rights, lower deposit service charges and net overdraft fees, and gains from the sale of mortgage loans. Noninterest expenses increased $214,000 as a result of increased benefits costs, occupancy expenses, and charitable contributions which were partially offset by reductions in expense in a number of other expense categories. It is notable that credit quality remains strong as evidenced by the minimal loan loss provision of $3,000 during the first quarter.
Total assets, loans, and deposits all remained relatively stable as of March 31, 2015 compared to year-end 2014. As we approached the end of the quarter, after very difficult winter weather, we experienced some increase in lending activity and are cautiously optimistic about the local economy and that our business development activities are gaining traction. The Trust and Financial Management business had $833 million in assets under management as of March 31, and growing customer relationships and revenues from this division will be a continued focus moving forward. C&N’s capital position remains very strong. Total shareholders’ equity was $189.1 million at March 31, as compared to $188.4 million at the end of 2014. All capital ratios remain well in excess of regulatory standards. Management is focused on implementing strategies to leverage our capital position through loan growth. We are also committed to maintaining an attractive cash dividend, continuing the stock repurchase program announced in July 2014, and assessing other strategies that will grow the company and support shareholder value.
In closing, it is great to be on board at C&N to pursue our many opportunities. I look forward to engaging with you as we continue to build this outstanding franchise.
