Balance Sheet
Consolidated assets increased $486.2 million to $2.3 billion at March 31, 2018. $400.8 million of the increase can be attributed to the acquisition of First Community Bank.
Total loans were $1.517 billion at March 31, 2018, as compared to $1.225 billion at December 31, 2017, and $1.140 billion at March 31, 2017, representing increases of $291.3 million or 23.8%, and $376.6 million or 33.0%, respectively. The acquisition of First Community Bank accounted for $274.7 million of the total increase in loans as compared to the fourth and first quarter of 2017. Loans excluding those purchased from First Community Bank grew $34.5 million or 2.8% during the first quarter of 2018.
- Loan Sale - First Community Bank had approximately $10 million of criticized and classified loans. At closing, these problem assets were recorded at fair value and approximately $9 million of the $10 million portfolio was sold to a third party. This transaction removed a majority of the previously identified problem loans from First Community Bank’s portfolio and resulted in a total acquired loan portfolio balance of $265 million with a fair value credit mark of approximately 1.5%.
Total deposits were $1.992 billion at March 31, 2018, as compared to $1.471 billion at December 31, 2017, and $1.568 billion at March 31, 2017, representing increases of $521.1 million or 35.4%, and $423.1 million or 27.0%, respectively. The acquisition of First Community Bank accounted for $357.4 million of the total increase in deposits as compared to the fourth and first quarter of 2017. The sequential-quarter increase in non-acquired deposits was primarily due to an increase in NOW accounts of $95.2 million, which is attributable to the seasonality of the public fund deposits.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP measures are used by management to supplement the evaluation of our performance. This press release includes operating net earnings, operating earnings per share, fully tax equivalent net interest income, total tangible common equity, tangible book value per common share and certain ratios derived from these non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release allow management and investors to understand and compare results in a more consistent manner for the periods presented in this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental and not a substitute for the Company’s results reported in accordance with GAAP for the periods presented, and other bank holding companies may define or calculate these measures differently. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation and do not purport to be an alternative to net income, earnings per share, net interest income, book value or other GAAP financial measures as a measure of operating performance. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure is provided in this press release following the Condensed Consolidated Financial Information (unaudited).
