All results are unaudited.

"Our solid third quarter results reflect the progress we have achieved through the execution of our plan and investment in our franchise. Total loans grew by $93.7 million, or 12%, year-over-year and increased by $51.1 million, or 6%, on a linked quarter basis. At the same time, our net interest margin expanded 17 basis points to 3.94% from the third quarter a year ago," said Walter Kaczmarek, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The Greater San Francisco Bay Area economy continues to evidence a strong recovery resulting in increased loan demand. Additionally, we are benefiting from the addition of several seasoned bankers that were hired at the end of 2012 and in early 2013."

Operating Results

Primarily due to a higher average balance of loans, the Company's net interest income increased to $12.8 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $11.8 million for the third quarter of 2012. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2013 was $12.2 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net interest income was $37.1 million, compared to $36.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

The net interest margin expanded 17 basis points to 3.94% for the third quarter of 2013, from 3.77% for the third quarter of 2012, and increased 5 basis points from 3.89% for the second quarter of 2013. The increase in the third quarter of 2013 was primarily due to a lower cost of funds, higher yields on securities, and a higher average loan balance, partially offset by a lower yield on loans. For the first nine months of 2013, the net interest margin decreased 8 basis points to 3.85%, compared to 3.93% for the first nine months of 2012, primarily due to a lower yield on loans, and a higher average balance of short-term deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank, partially offset by a higher average balance of loans and a lower cost of funds.

Solid asset quality and net recoveries for the first nine months of 2013 led to a credit to the provision for loan losses of $534,000 for the third quarter of 2013 and a credit to the provision for loan losses of $804,000 for the first nine months of 2013. The provision for loan losses was $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2012 and $2.1 million for the first nine months of 2012. There was a credit to the provision for loan losses of $270,000 for the second quarter of 2013. Net recoveries totaled $534,000 for the third quarter of 2013 and $1.1 million for the first nine months of 2013.

Noninterest income was $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $2.9 million for the third quarter of 2012, and $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2013. For the first nine months of 2013, noninterest income was $5.3 million, compared to $6.8 million for the first nine months of 2012. Noninterest income was lower in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2013, compared to the same periods in 2012, primarily due to a lower gain on sales of securities. There was no gain on sales of securities for the third quarter of 2013, and a $38,000 gain on sales of securities for the first nine months of 2013, compared to $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for the comparable periods a year ago.

Total noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2013 was $10.4 million, an increase of 2% from $10.1 million for the third quarter of 2012, and remained flat from $10.4 million for the second quarter of 2013. Noninterest expense for the first nine months of 2013 increased 4% to $31.6 million, compared to $30.5 million for the first nine months of 2012. The increase in noninterest expense for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2013, compared to the same periods a year ago, reflects increased salaries and employee benefits expense due to annual salary increases and hiring of additional lending relationship officers. 

Income tax expense for the third quarter of 2013 was $1.5 million, compared to $939,000 for the third quarter of 2012, and $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2013. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2013 increased to 32%, compared to 27% for the third quarter of 2012, and 29% for the second quarter of 2013. Income tax expense for the first nine months of 2013 was $3.5 million, compared to $3.1 million for the first nine months of 2012. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was 30%. The difference in the effective tax rate for the periods reported, compared to the combined Federal and state statutory tax rate of 42%, is primarily the result of the Company's investment in life insurance policies whose earnings are not subject to taxes, tax credits related to investments in low income housing limited partnerships, and tax-exempt interest income earned on municipal bonds.

The efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2013 was 71.25%, compared to 68.69% for the third quarter of 2012, and 73.85% for the second quarter of 2013. The efficiency ratio was 74.32% for the first nine months of 2013, compared to 70.95% for the first nine months of 2012.
