Loans
Net loans held for investment increased $137.6 million, or 18.3%, to $889.4 million at December 31, 2016, from $751.8 million at September 30, 2016. Loans held for sale increased $49.0 million, or 14.2%, to $394.3 million at December 31, 2016, from $345.3 million at September 30, 2016. The increase in both portfolios is the result of robust growth in loan origination activities. The combined total loan portfolio at December 31, 2016, and September 30, 2016, of $1.30 billion and $1.11 billion, respectively, were comprised of approximately 66.8% and 66.3% of unguaranteed loans, respectively. The combined total loan portfolio of $1.30 billion at December 31, 2016, rose by 71.2% above its level of a year ago. Loan originations grew by 32.7% in 2016 to $1.54 billion.
Average loans were $1.21 billion during the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $1.09 billion during the third quarter of 2016.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased to $12.4 million compared to $8.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase was driven by the significant growth in the combined held for sale and held for investment loan portfolios attributable to steadily rising loan originations, along with the Company's efforts to grow recurring revenue sources by increasing the level of loans on the balance sheet. The net interest margin declined from 3.66% for the fourth quarter of 2015 and 3.32% for the third quarter of 2016 to 3.08% for the fourth quarter of 2016. This decline in net interest margin was primarily attributable to the strong growth in USDA-guaranteed loans which typically carry a lower yield.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2016 totaled $26.3 million, compared to $24.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. Net gains on sales of loans increased to $22.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $21.8 million in the third quarter of 2016 and $20.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 due to a much higher volume of loan sales. The volume of loan sales rose by 18.9% in 2016 to $761.9 million. Loan servicing revenues rose by $1.3 million from the fourth quarter of 2015 to $5.7 million.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $32.4 million compared to $27.2 million for the third quarter of 2016 and $22.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. Salaries and employee benefits increased to $17.1 million from $12.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 as a result of increased staffing and expanding infrastructure to support growing loan demand and multiple new initiatives of the Company, along with $3.4 million in stock based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards with an effective grant date of May 24, 2016, for key employee retention, as discussed in Note 10 of our March 31, 2016 Form 10-Q. Excluding the $3.4 million in stock based compensation, salaries and benefits for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased a modest $1.0 million from fourth quarter 2015. Total stock based compensation related to these restricted stock awards was $9.0 million for calendar year 2016. Future expense associated with these restricted stock awards is expected to be approximately $346 thousand each quarter through the end of the implied term. Total stock based compensation expense in the fourth quarter of 2016 was $4.4 million compared to $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2016 and $617 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2015.
The Other expense component of noninterest expense was $3.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 as compared to $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2016 and $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The primary reason for this increase was recognition of a $1.4 million impairment loss on aircraft as management committed to a plan to sell the aircraft prior to year-end. The sale of this aircraft took place subsequent to year end with no additional losses.
Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2016 also included $3.2 million in impairment charges related to a $4.6 million renewable energy tax credit investment. Investments of this type generate a return primarily through the realization of federal and state income tax credits and other tax benefits; accordingly, impairment of the investment amount is recognized in conjunction with the realization of related tax benefits. This investment generated tax savings of $5.5 million for 2016. This equity method investment aligns with the Company's strategic emphasis in the renewable energy sector. In line with this strategic industry emphasis, the Company originated $124.1 million in loans that support the renewable energy industry during the fourth quarter of 2016. These loans have no tax credit benefit to the Company.
Income Tax
The fourth quarter of 2016 had an income tax benefit of ($3.0) million as compared to income tax expense of $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2016 and $3.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. This decrease in income tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2016 was the product of the above discussed renewable energy tax credit investment.
Asset Quality
The unguaranteed exposure of nonperforming loans amounted to $4.8 million at December 31, 2016, compared to $3.4 million at September 30, 2016. Total nonperforming loans increased to $23.8 million from $14.0 million at the end of the prior quarter. No systemic issues were noted in this increase of nonperforming loans which was comprised of a small number of borrowers in our most mature verticals. Total unguaranteed nonperforming loans as a percentage of total held for investment loans was 0.53% and 0.44% as of December 30, 2016, and September 30, 2016, respectively.
Foreclosed assets decreased $587 thousand to $1.6 million at December 31, 2016, from $2.2 million at September 30, 2016.
Net charge-offs were $813 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $937 thousand in the third quarter of 2016 and $205 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2015. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average held for investment loans, annualized, for the quarters ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, were 0.39% and 0.30%, respectively. Net charge-offs for 2016 totaled $1.7 million as compared to $799 thousand for 2015.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses remained at $3.8 million for both the fourth and third quarters of 2016 and was $1.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The level of provision in the fourth quarter of 2016 reflects the continued strong growth in the loan portfolio and remained above net charge-off levels which contributed to the increase in the allowance for loan losses.
The allowance for loan losses increased $3.0 million, or 20.0%, to $18.2 million at December 31, 2016, from $15.2 million at September 30, 2016. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans held for investment increased from 1.98% at September 30, 2016 to 2.01% at December 31, 2016.
Deposits
Total deposits increased by $82.1 million, or 5.8%, to $1.49 billion at December 31, 2016, compared to $1.40 billion at September 30, 2016, following successful deposit gathering campaigns. Average total interest bearing deposits for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased $197.5 million, or 15.9%, to $1.44 billion, compared to $1.24 billion for the third quarter of 2016. The ratio of average total loans to average interest bearing deposits was 84.3% for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to 87.7% for the third quarter of 2016.

This press release presents the non-GAAP financial measures previously shown. The adjustments to reconcile from the applicable GAAP financial measure to the non-GAAP financial measures are included where applicable in financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company considers these adjustments to be relevant to ongoing operating results. The Company believes that excluding the amounts associated with these adjustments to present the non-GAAP financial measures provides a meaningful base for period-to-period comparisons, which will assist regulators, investors, and analysts in analyzing the operating results or financial position of the Company. The non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to assess the performance of the Company’s business for presentations of Company performance to investors, and for other reasons as may be requested by investors and analysts. The Company further believes that presenting the non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors and analysts to assess the performance of the Company on the same basis as that applied by management. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by shareholders to evaluate a company, they have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP.
