Charles Funk, President and CEO commented, ”Better than expected deposit growth - some of which is seasonal, was a highlight of the first quarter of 2019. The quarter’s results were adversely affected by a larger than anticipated loan loss provision of $1.6 million. However, we remain comfortable with our prior guidance of $4 to $6 million for the loan loss provision for the year of 2019.”

INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income decreased in the first quarter of 2019 to $26.0 million from $26.6 million in the linked quarter due primarily to the cost of deposits rising faster than asset yields. The loan yield was 4.93% for the first quarter of 2019 compared to 4.85% for the linked quarter. The increased loan yield reflected higher coupon interest and an increase in discount accretion on acquired loans. Discount accretion on acquired loans increased to $586 thousand in the current quarter compared to $454 thousand in the linked quarter. The total remaining acquired loan discount as of March 31, 2019 was $5.2 million. The linked quarter also included $89 thousand in interest reversals from nonaccrual loans compared to $160 thousand in the first quarter of 2019.

The tax equivalent net interest margin (NIM) decreased to 3.56% for the first quarter of 2019 from 3.59% in the linked quarter. The decrease in the NIM was due primarily to higher yields on average loans being more than offset by higher deposit and borrowing costs. Loan purchase discount accretion added 8 bps to the NIM in the current quarter compared to 6 bps in the linked quarter.

The cost of average total deposits in the first quarter of 2019 was 0.88% compared to 0.78% in the linked quarter. The increase reflects the higher rates paid to attract and retain deposits in light of recent market rate increases and the competitive market for deposits.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2019 decreased $386 thousand, or 7%, from the linked quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $491 thousand in loan revenue, of which $253 thousand was related to the valuation of our mortgage servicing rights, with the remainder attributable primarily to lower mortgage and SBA loan activity. Service charges and fees decreased $114 thousand, or 7%, in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the linked quarter mainly due to lower nonsufficient funds charges. Insurance commissions increased $160 thousand, or 62%, between the two periods due primarily to an increase in commission and contingency income.

“Investment services and trust as well as our insurance unit are off to a strong start,” stated Mr. Funk. “Our residential mortgage originations were adversely affected by, among other things, the extremely cold weather in most of our footprint during the first quarter. We are already seeing significant improvement in April in terms of the loan pipeline.”

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2019 increased $0.8 million, or 4.2%, from the linked quarter. The increase was driven by occupancy expense of premises, net, and salaries and employee benefits. Occupancy expense of premises, net, increased $0.7 million, as the linked quarter included a $743 gain on the sale of a former bank administration building.  Salaries and employee benefits increased $468 thousand primarily from normal annual salary and benefit cost adjustments. Most other noninterest expense categories experienced a decline compared to the linked quarter.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 20.6% for the first quarter of 2019 and 18.2% for the linked quarter. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 was higher due primarily to certain tax credits recognized during the linked quarter.

BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS

Loans Held for Investment

Loans held for investment, net of unearned income, increased $5.0 million, or 0.2%, to $2.40 billion at March 31, 2019. Loan portfolio segments experiencing the largest increases were commercial real estate and commercial and industrial. As of March 31, 2019, commercial real estate loans comprised approximately 53% of the loan portfolio.

Mr. Funk continued, ”Overall loan originations were decent in the first quarter of 2019, but we experienced a higher than normal level of loan pay-offs, which kept loan growth in check.”

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

For the first quarter of 2019, the provision for loan losses was $1.6 million, a decrease of $1.7 million from the linked quarter. The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2019 resulted from net charge-offs experienced during the period and the recognition of small impairments on several credit relationships.

The following table shows the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated:

Deposits

Total deposits at March 31, 2019, were $2.68 billion, an increase of $71.9 million from December 31, 2018. The mix of deposits reflected increases between December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019 of $6.9 million, or 0.9%, in time deposits, $74.0 million, or 13.3% in money market deposits, and $12.9 million, or 1.9%, in interest checking deposits. These increases were partially offset by a decrease, between the two dates, of $12.4 million, or 2.8%, in noninterest bearing deposits, and $9.4 million, or 4.5%, in savings deposits.

CREDIT QUALITY

Nonaccrual loans increased $1.4 million between December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019, primarily due to $5.5 million being added to nonaccrual status, partially offset by $2.1 million of payments, net charge-offs of $1.0 million, $0.8 million coming out of nonaccrual status, and $0.2 million transferred to foreclosed assets, net. The balance of loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring (“TDRs”) decreased $0.1 million from year-end 2018, primarily due to payments of  $0.2 million, partially offset by $0.1 being added to TDR status. Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest decreased $157 thousand between December 31, 2018, and March 31, 2019. At March 31, 2019, net foreclosed assets totaled $336 thousand, down from $535 thousand at December 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2019, the allowance for loan losses was $29.7 million, or 1.23% of loans held for investment, net of unearned income, compared with $29.3 million, or 1.28% at December 31, 2018.
