The Company reported net income of $790 thousand, or $0.02 per share, for the three month period ended December 31, 2015, compared to net income of $853 thousand, or $0.02 per share, for the three month period ended December 31, 2014.
Net interest income increased by $1.4 million, or 15%, to $11.0 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2015 compared to $9.5 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2014. This increase was driven by strong growth in interest-earning assets over the last twelve months.
Non-interest income increased to $4.7 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2015 compared to $2.4 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2014. This increase was primarily driven by a $2.6 million insurance settlement recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015. This settlement is related to a bond claim against a corporate insurance policy originally submitted in 2010.
Non-interest expenses increased by $3.7 million to $14.4 million during the three month period ended December 31, 2015 compared to $10.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2014. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in writedowns of OREO assets. During the fourth quarter of 2015 the Company made a decision to aggressively pursue a potential sale of its largest OREO asset resulting in a write-down of approximately $2.2 million. Higher salaries, employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses associated with the addition of new stores related to the Company's expansion strategy over the last twelve months also contributed to the increase in non-interest expenses.
Net income for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2015 was $2.4 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to net income of $2.4 million, or $0.07 per share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.
Total revenue increased by 14% to $50.0 million for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2015 compared to $43.8 million for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2014 as a result of strong growth in interest-earning assets over the last twelve months along with the insurance settlement described above. Non-interest expenses grew $6.5 million year over year due to the increase in OREO writedowns combined with higher salaries, employee benefits, and occupancy and equipment expenses associated with the addition of new stores during 2015.
