Fourth Quarter 2016 vs. Fourth Quarter 2015 Earnings Comparison
Fourth quarter 2016 net earnings available to common shareholders (including merger related costs) totaled $2.1 million compared to $2.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. Revenues from consolidated operations increased $2.3 million in quarterly comparison. Net interest income increased $1.1 million in quarterly comparison as interest income earned on a higher volume of loans attributed to this overall increase. Noninterest income increased $0.8 million in quarterly comparison for the fourth quarter of 2016 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 consisting mainly of increased mortgage income.
Fourth quarter 2016 noninterest expense increased $1.9 million, or 22.4% as compared to fourth quarter 2015. The largest increase in noninterest expense was related to salaries and benefits of $1.3 million of which $500,000 is associated with the addition of The Mortgage Connection and increased mortgage commissions. Approximately $200,000 is associated with lending teams in Mobile, AL and Jackson, MS and the startup of a Treasury Management division.

Fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”) net interest income totaled $10.9 million and $9.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Certain financial information included in the earnings release and the associated Condensed Consolidated Financial Information (unaudited) is determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP.
We use non-GAAP measures because we believe they are useful for evaluating our financial condition with a meaningful measure for assessing our financial condition as well as comparison to financial results for prior periods. These results should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and are necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that other companies may use.
