  • During the quarter, the Company re-opened a Loan Production Office in Summit, New Jersey, at a new location to expand its presence in this community.

Management Commentary

William D. Moss, President and CEO, stated, “The Company’s positive earnings momentum in the first quarter of 2016 was driven by continued strong growth in loan activity and core deposits, along with significant improvements in asset quality.  Over the past twelve months, total non-performing assets have decreased by 67.3% and currently total $2.0 million.  Our strong commercial loan pipeline will provide for future top line revenue growth as the year progresses.  In addition, we have been very pleased with the continued execution of our mortgage banking business, as non-interest income fees generated from loans sold grew by 50% year over year."

Dividend Information
On April 20, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.035 per share, payable May 30, 2016 to shareholders of record as of May 13, 2016, which marks the 13th consecutive quarterly cash dividend paid by the Company to its shareholders.

2016 First Quarter Financial Review

Net Income

Net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $1.69 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share, as compared to $1.43 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share, for the same period last year, an increase of 18.6%.  The increase was due primarily to higher net interest income and non-interest income along with a lower loan loss provision, partially offset by higher non-interest expenses.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $7.13 million, an increase of 5.3% compared to $6.77 million in the corresponding prior year period.  This increase was largely due to an increase of $75.1 million, or 10.3%, in average interest earning assets, primarily resulting from growth in the Company’s loan portfolio. 

Net Interest Margin
The Company reported a net interest margin of 3.57% for the first quarter of 2016, compared to the 3.65% reported in the fourth quarter of 2015, and 3.77% reported for the first quarter of 2015.  Net interest margin declined by approximately 8 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2015 as a result of the interest expense associated with the Company’s $10 million subordinated debenture placement, which funded in December 2015. The subordinated debentures have a maturity date of December 31, 2025 and currently bear an annual interest rate of 6.25%.

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 totaled $893,000, an increase of $117,000, or 15.1%, compared to the same period in 2015. This was largely a result of a 49.7% increase in residential mortgage banking revenue of $71,000, coupled with higher other loan fees and securities gains.  These increases were partially offset by lower gains on the sale of SBA loans during the quarter due to the timing of loan closings.

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 totaled $5.4 million, an increase of $236,000, or 4.6%, compared to the same period in 2015, largely due to higher salaries and benefits resulting from both annual merit increases and commissions paid for higher mortgage banking volume generated during the quarter.  Additionally, professional fees were higher due to increased legal and consulting fees.

Provision / Allowance for Loan Losses
During the quarter, the Company reported no provision for loan losses, compared to $90,000 in the prior year period.  The Company had net loan recoveries of $250,000 during the quarter, which helped fund the increase in the allowance for loan losses resulting from the strong loan growth during the period.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company's allowance for loan losses was $9.0 million, as compared to $8.7 million as of December 31, 2015. The loss allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.27% at March 31, 2016 compared to 1.26% at December 31, 2015.

Financial Condition / Balance Sheet
At March 31, 2016, the Company maintained capital ratios that were in excess of regulatory standards for well-capitalized institutions. The Company's Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio was 9.02%, common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets ratio was 10.12%, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 10.12%, and total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 12.61%.

Total assets as of March 31, 2016 were $881.9 million, compared to $863.7 million as of December 31, 2015.

Total loans as of March 31, 2016 were $704.4 million, compared to $693.2 million reported at December 31, 2015.

Total deposits as of March 31, 2016 were $727.1 million, compared to $708.4 million as of December 31, 2015.  Core checking deposits at March 31, 2016 increased to $296.4 million, up $3.4 million, or 1.2%, from year-end, primarily due to an increase in commercial checking account balances.  The Company continues to focus on building core funded non-interest bearing deposit relationships.

Asset Quality
The Company's non-performing assets at March 31, 2016 decreased to $2.0 million as compared to $3.6 million at December 31, 2015 and $6.1 million at March 31, 2015.  Non-performing assets to total assets at March 31, 2016 declined to 0.22%, compared to 0.42% at December 31, 2015, and 0.75% at March 31, 2015.

Non-accrual loans decreased to $1.7 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $3.2 million at December 31, 2015 and $4.5 million at March 31, 2015.  OREO was $259,000 at March 31, 2016, compared to $411,000 at December 31, 2015 and $1.6 million at March 31, 2015. 

Troubled debt restructured loan balances amounted to $9.1 million at March 31, 2016, with all but $161,000 performing.  This compared to $10.8 million at December 31, 2015 and $17.7 million at March 31, 2015.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures 
  
The press release contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies in the United States (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are "book value per common share," "tangible book value per common share," "return on average tangible assets," and "return on average tangible equity." This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of our performance because it believes these measures are material and will be used as a measure of our performance by investors.
