Non-interest bearing demand deposits grew by 11.5% over the last year to $514.6 million, and represent 32.9% of total deposits at December 31, 2015 compared to 33.1% of total deposits at December 31, 2014.
- Credit quality remains strong with non-accrual loans representing 0.63% of total gross loans at December 31, 2015, down from 0.83% for the linked quarter, and from 0.88% at December 31, 2014. Net recoveries for the fourth quarter of 2015 decreased to $0.2 million compared to $0.3 million for the linked quarter, and increased compared to $15 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2014. Loans delinquent 30 to 89 days were 0.02% of total gross loans as of December 31, 2015. There was no provision for loan losses recorded in the fourth quarter due to continued improvement in the credit quality of our loan portfolio.
- Regulatory capital ratios for the Bank at December 31, 2015 were 9.50% for Tier 1 Leverage Capital, 13.74% for Total Risk Based Capital, and 12.48% for Common Equity Tier One Capital to Total Risk Based Capital.
- On January 27th, 2016 the board of directors declared a dividend of $0.06 per common share for shareholders of record as of February 17, 2016, which is payable to our common shareholders on February 29, 2016.
“We were pleased to achieve the highest level of quarterly loan growth for 2015 during the fourth quarter. Loan production increased by 18% compared to the prior quarter. We have closed the year with a strong loan pipeline and have already recorded our first interest rate swap during January. We expect that our customers’ interest in the swap product will increase given the rising rate environment,” stated Simone Lagomarsino, President and Chief Executive Officer of Heritage Oaks Bancorp. Ms. Lagomarsino continued, “I am also pleased to announce that we hired Josh Tucker to fill the role of Chief Risk Officer. He will lead our efforts to build a quality enterprise risk, and compliance management infrastructure and will also oversee the Bank Secrecy Act department and the related remediation efforts going forward.”
Net Income Available to Common Shareholders
Net income available to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $3.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share, compared with $4.2 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2014. Net income available to common shareholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was $4.0 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share.
Net income available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $15.3 million, or $0.45 per dilutive common share as compared to $8.8 million or $0.27 per dilutive common share for the year ended December 31, 2014. The $6.5 million increase in net income available to common shareholders for the year ended 2015 as compared to the prior year was primarily due to $9.2 million of merger, restructure and integration costs related to the February 28, 2014 acquisition of Mission Community Bancorp ("MISN" or the "MISN Transaction") incurred during 2014.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $16.1 million, or 3.67% of average earning assets (“net interest margin”), for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared with $15.7 million, or a 3.95% net interest margin, for the same period a year earlier, and $15.4 million, or a 3.58% net interest margin, for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Net interest income increased by $0.4 million, compared to the same prior year period, due to increases in average balances of both securities and loans, which contributed an additional $0.2 million and $0.1 million to net interest income, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2015.
Net interest income increased for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 as compared to linked quarter by $0.7 million due primarily to the following factors: an increase in loan interest income of $0.4 million attributable to an increase in average balances, as well as increased prepayment related income, a $0.3 million increase in securities interest attributable to higher average balances, and a decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowing costs attributable to prepayment fees paid in the prior quarter.
Net interest income was $62.3 million, for the year ended December 31, 2015, or a 3.70% net interest margin. Net interest income increased by $3.3 million, or 5.6% during 2015, compared to $58.9 million for 2014, and net interest margin declined by 27 basis points from 3.97% in 2014, to 3.70% in 2015. The increase in annual net interest income was due primarily to increased interest income from the loan portfolio attributable to a 12.3% year over year increase in average loans outstanding.
The net interest margin was 3.67% for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to 3.95% for the same prior year period, and 3.58% for the linked quarter ended September 30, 2015. The year-over-year 28 basis point decline in the net interest margin is attributable to both a decline in loan yields, and a shift in asset mix from higher yielding loans to lower yielding securities and interest earning deposits in other banks. This shift in asset mix was primarily attributable to our strong deposit growth in 2015, which outpaced loan growth and led to growth in cash balances. The excess liquidity generated by the deposit portfolio was deployed into our securities portfolio over the second half of 2015, which resulted in the shift in asset mix and partially contributed to the decline in net interest margin in 2015 when compared to 2014. Loan yields declined by 20 basis points to 4.92% for the fourth quarter of 2015 from 5.12% for the fourth quarter of 2014. On a linked quarter basis the net interest margin increased by 9 basis points due to a shift in asset mix to higher yielding loans and securities from lower yielding interest earning deposits in other banks, and also due to a decrease in funding costs attributable to fees paid on the prepayment of FHLB advances and brokered certificates of deposit (“CDs”) in the prior quarter. For the full year 2015 the net interest margin declined 27 basis points due primarily to the 29 basis point drop in loan yields from 5.24% in 2014 to 4.95% in 2015.
The decline in loan yields for the current quarter and full year 2015 as compared to the fourth quarter and full year 2014 was due to the impact of originating new loans at lower yields than our average loan portfolio yield due to the historically low interest rate environment, and to a decline in purchased loan discount accretion. Purchased loan discount accretion contributed 23 basis points to loan yields during the current quarter, 16 basis points during the linked quarter, and 30 basis points during the fourth quarter of 2014, and 23 basis points for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to 29 basis points for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decline in purchased loan discount accretion for the fourth quarter and full year 2015 as compared to the fourth quarter, and full year 2014 is attributable to a lower level of accelerated loan discount accretion associated with loan pay-offs, and to a gradual decline in scheduled accretion due to loan maturities and pay-offs. Purchased loan discount accretion contributed a greater amount to loan yields in the current quarter as compared to the linked quarter due to an increase in accelerated discount accretion attributable to loan pay-offs.
The cost of deposits declined by 2 basis points to 0.22% for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to 0.24% for the prior quarter, and declined by 3 basis points compared to 0.25% for the fourth quarter of 2014. The decline in the cost of deposits for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to fees paid on the prepayment of brokered CDs in the prior quarter. The decline in the cost of deposits for the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 was due to an increase in average non-interest bearing demand deposits as a percentage of total deposits, as well as to a decline in the average balance and cost of time deposits.
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
No provisions for loan and lease losses were recorded for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, or 2014. The Company has not required a loan and lease loss provision since 2012 due to improvements in credit quality of the loan portfolio over the past three years. Annualized net recoveries were 0.05% of average loans outstanding for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 compared to annualized net recoveries of 0.01% of average loans outstanding for the same period a year earlier, and annualized net recoveries of 0.11% of average loans outstanding for the linked quarter.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $2.1 million compared to $2.4 million for the same period a year earlier, and $2.8 million for the linked quarter ended September 30, 2015. Non-interest income decreased by $0.3 million for the current quarter as compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to decreases in fees and service charge income and gain on sale of investment securities. Compared to the linked quarter, non-interest income decreased by $0.7 million, primarily due to the gain on extinguishment of debt recorded in the prior quarter, and to a lesser extent, to decreases in the gain on sale of securities, and mortgage banking revenue.
During the prior quarter the Company was the successful bidder, at 85% of par, in a public auction of trust preferred securities issued by Heritage Oaks Capital Trust II with an original face value of $3.0 million. The Company immediately retired $3.0 million of subordinated debentures associated with the trust preferred securities, which resulted in a $450 thousand gain on extinguishment of debt. Third quarter 2015 gains on sale of investment securities are attributable to portfolio repositioning activities. Bank service charge income declined over the last year, despite increases in deposit balances, because the Bank has exited several “money service businesses” as part of our Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering Program (“BSA/AML Program”) remediation efforts. The decline in mortgage banking revenue, as compared to the linked quarter was due to a $5.2 million decline in mortgage loans sold for the fourth quarter of 2015.
Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $10.1 million, compared to $9.6 million for 2014, representing an increase of $0.5 million. The increase in annual non-interest income was attributable to $0.6 million in gains on extinguishment of debt, and a $0.4 million increase in mortgage banking revenue attributable to a 65% increase in annual mortgage loan production. These increases were offset by a $0.5 million decline in fee and service charge income due to the exit of “money service businesses” as part of our BSA/AML Program remediation efforts.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased by $1.4 million, or 12.2%, to $12.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 compared to $11.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased by $0.6 million, or 5.1% from $12.2 million for the linked quarter. Non-interest expense for the year 2015 decreased by $6.6 million or 12.1%, to $48.2 million, compared to $54.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The increase in non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to the fourth quarter a year ago was due to a $1.3 million increase in professional services expense, and a $0.8 million increase in salaries and employee benefits costs. These increases were offset by a $0.4 million decrease in merger, restructure and integration costs related to the 2014 acquisition of Mission Community Bancorp, as well as $0.1 million decreases in each of the following: other expense, sales and marketing, information technology, and communication costs. The increase in professional services expense is primarily attributable to a $0.8 million increase in BSA/AML Program remediation efforts, as well as a $0.4 million increase in legal fees. BSA/AML Program remediation efforts increased due to both elevated consulting costs, and a special audit performed during the fourth quarter of 2015 to validate our BSA system. During 2014 we received insurance reimbursements throughout the year attributable to legal costs incurred during the years 2012, 2013 and 2014. The $0.4 million increase in legal costs for the current quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 was related to $0.2 million of these insurance reimbursements, as well as an additional $0.2 million increase attributable to ongoing litigation. Salaries and benefits costs increased primarily due to an incentive compensation plan expense reversal recorded in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The $0.6 million increase in non-interest expense during the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to the linked quarter was primarily attributable to increased salaries and employee benefits costs of $0.6 million and professional services costs of $0.2 million. These increases were offset by decreases in other expense categories such as sales and marketing, and information technology expenses. The increase in salaries and employee benefits costs was primarily attributable to increases in base salaries for new employees who filled open positions during the fourth quarter, mortgage commissions, and other compensation expense. Professional services costs increased during the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to the linked quarter due to a $0.4 million increase in BSA/AML related consulting costs, and a $0.1 million increase in legal costs. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $0.1 million in information technology services and consulting expense, and $0.1 million in audit and tax costs. The following table illustrates the components of professional services costs for the periods indicated:

The decline in annual non-interest expense for 2015 as compared to 2014 was attributable to a $9.3 million decrease in merger, restructure and integration costs related to the MISN acquisition which were partially offset by a $3.0 million increase in professional services expense. As illustrated in the table above, the increase in professional services expense is attributable to a $1.7 million increase in BSA/AML Program related costs, a $0.6 million increase in legal costs due primarily to $0.6 million of insurance reimbursements for legal fees received in 2014 for costs incurred during 2012, 2013 and 2014, a $0.5 million increase in information technology services and consulting related to internal technology development initiatives, and to outsourced information technology management services, and a $0.2 million increase in audit and tax costs primarily attributable to the transition of our outsourced internal audit vendor. During 2014 we outsourced our information technology management services in order to achieve a higher level of information security and cyber-security protection.
Operating Efficiency
The Company’s operating efficiency ratio increased to 68.58% for the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to 61.67% for the fourth quarter of 2014, and increased from 67.81% for the linked quarter. Total non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets, another measure of the Company’s efficiency, was 2.70% for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to 2.64% for fourth quarter of 2014, and 2.61% for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $1.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 compared with $2.3 million for the same period a year earlier. For the linked quarter ended September 30, 2015 income tax expense was $2.0 million. Income tax expense was $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $4.7 million for the prior year. The $4.1 million annual increase was primarily due to the 77% increase in pre-tax income in 2015 as compared to the prior year. The Company’s effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2015 was 35.7% compared with 35.0% for the same period a year ago, and 33.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The effective tax rate for the year 2015 was 36.7% compared to 34.6% for 2014.
Balance Sheet
Total assets increased by $189.6 million, or 11.1%, to $1.9 billion at December 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014, and $25.8 million, or 1.4%, compared to September 30, 2015. Cash and cash equivalents increased $34.3 million, or 96.5%, to $69.9 million at December 31 2015 compared to December 31, 2014, and decreased by $42.3 million, or 37.7%, compared to September 30, 2015. The increase in the Company’s cash position over the last year is primarily the result of successful deposit gathering efforts, while the linked-quarter decline is due to deployment of cash inflows from new deposits into the loan and investment securities portfolios.
Investment securities increased by $95.4 million or 26.8%, to $450.9 million at December 31, 2015 compared to $355.6 million at December 31, 2014, and by $18.2 million, or 4.2%, compared to $432.8 million at September 30, 2015. At December 31, 2015, the effective duration of the securities portfolio was 3.16 years. We currently target a 2.75 to 3.25 year effective duration for the entire securities portfolio.
Total gross loans increased by $53.8 million, or 4.5%, to $1.2 billion at December 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014, and by $40.5 million, or 3.4%, compared to September 30, 2015. New loan production for the held for investment portfolio (“portfolio loans”) was $81.5 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2015, which was $15.2 million more than the prior quarter reflecting a 23.0% increase. Utilization on lines of credit contributed $28.5 million to fourth quarter 2015 loan growth. Loan pay-offs during the fourth quarter were due to the following issues: 40% of the pay-offs were due to competitive terms or underwriting concessions we chose not to match; 21% were related to the sale of the underlying collateral; and 20% of these pay-offs were not refinanced due to the credit profile of such loans.
Bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) increased by $7.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily due to the purchase of $7.5 million of additional BOLI policies. We purchased these policies to help offset the cost of employee benefit plans as well as to insulate the Company in the event of a loss of key management. This BOLI purchase was not made coincident with the execution of additional management salary continuation plan agreements.
Total deposits increased by $170.2 million, or 12.2%, to $1.57 billion as of December 31, 2015 from $1.40 billion at December 31, 2014, and contracted by $6.8 million, or 0.4%, from $1.57 billion at September 30, 2015. Non-interest bearing deposits decreased by $30.2 million, or 5.5%, during the fourth quarter of 2015, and increased by $53.1 million, or 11.5%, since December 31, 2014. The deposit growth we have achieved over the last year is attributable to our relationship building efforts. The majority of the growth achieved over the last year came from municipalities, public entities, and our commercial clients.
Total shareholders’ equity was $206.4 million at December 31, 2015, an increase of $8.5 million, or 4.3%, compared to December 31, 2014, and an increase of $1.0 million, or 0.5%, compared to September 30, 2015, due primarily to quarterly earnings, net of the impact of quarterly shareholder dividend payments. The change in the unrealized gain in the securities portfolio led to a reduction in equity of $0.8 million, and $0.5 million during the past quarter, and year, respectively.
Classified assets at December 31, 2015 totaled $45.3 million, and increased by $1.2 million, or 2.8%, compared to $44.0 million at September 30, 2015, and decreased by $7.3 million, or 14.0%, from $52.6 million at December 31, 2014. Non-performing assets were $8.1 million at December 31, 2015 compared to $10.3 million at September 30, 2015 representing a $2.2 million, or 21.2%, decrease since the prior quarter, and a $2.4 million, or 22.7%, decrease since December 31, 2014. Non-performing assets remain at the lowest level reached in the last several years, at 0.43% of total assets at December 31, 2015, declining from 0.55% at September 30, 2015, and 0.62% at December 31, 2014.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
The allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) as a percentage of gross loans declined from 1.41% at December 31, 2014 to 1.40% at December 31, 2015. The consistency in the level of our ALLL as a percentage of gross loans over the last twelve months is due to the relatively stable credit profile of the Company, which is evidenced by its asset quality ratios.
As of December 31, 2015, the portion of the ALLL allocated to MISN acquired loans was $0.4 million or 0.23% of the remaining acquired MISN loan portfolio. The remaining un-accreted fair market value discount on MISN loans was $5.5 million at December 31, 2015 and represents 3.1% of the remaining balance of MISN loans.
Due to continued heightened concerns regarding the effects of the California drought upon our agribusiness loan customers and related businesses, the Bank has provided a $1.8 million qualitative allocation in its ALLL to address these concerns, which allocation accounts for 10.3% of the total ALLL at December 31, 2015. Management will continue to monitor the drought as it relates to our agribusiness customers and the local economy.
Regulatory Capital
The Bank’s regulatory capital ratios exceeded the ratios generally required to be considered a “well capitalized” financial institution for regulatory purposes. The Tier I Leverage Ratios for the Company and the Bank were 9.90%, and 9.50%, respectively, at December 31, 2015 compared with the requirement of 5.00% to generally be considered a “well capitalized” financial institution for regulatory purposes. The Total Risk-Based Capital Ratios for the Company and the Bank were 14.26%, and 13.74%, respectively, at December 31, 2015 compared with the requirement of 10.00% to generally be considered a “well capitalized” financial institution for regulatory purposes. The Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio for the Company and the Bank were 12.61%, and 12.48%, respectively, at December 31, 2015 compared with the requirement of 6.5% to generally be considered a "well capitalized" financial institution for regulatory purposes. The Company’s regulatory capital ratios declined as compared to the linked quarter due to a slower growth rate of regulatory capital as compared to the growth rate for average, and risk-based assets.
BSA Consent Order
We continued to make progress addressing the issues identified in the BSA Consent Order that we entered into with our regulators in November of 2014. However, we still have more work to do in order to fully remediate the issues identified in the BSA Consent Order.

Additional information on these risks and other factors that could affect operating results and financial condition are detailed in reports filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6, 2015.
Forward looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company does not undertake to update forward looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward looking statements are made, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, and specifically disclaims any obligation to revise or update such forward looking statements for any reason, except as may be required by law.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company provides all information required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), but it believes that evaluating its ongoing operating results and in particular, making comparisons to similar companies, may be enhanced by providing additional non-GAAP measures used by management to assess operating results. Therefore, included at the end of the tables below are the following schedules: a schedule reconciling our GAAP net income to earnings before income taxes, provision for loan and lease losses, investment securities gains or losses, gain on extinguishment of debt, and merger, restructure, and integration related costs; a schedule reconciling book value to tangible common book value per share; a schedule adjusting non-interest expense to exclude merger, restructure and integration costs and expressing the adjusted noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets; and a schedule adjusting the efficiency ratio to exclude merger, restructure and integration costs.
