INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income decreased by $6.9 million to $254.9 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $261.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 due to interest expense growth exceeding interest income growth and two less days in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter. Interest expense increased by $8.7 million due mainly to higher deposit costs, offset partially by two less days in the first quarter of 2019. Interest income increased by $1.8 million due primarily to a higher balance of average loans and leases, offset partially by a lower yield on average loans and leases and two less days in the first quarter of 2019. The tax equivalent yield on average loans and leases was 6.16% for the first quarter of 2019 compared to 6.27% for the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease in the yield on average loans and leases was due principally to lower discount accretion on acquired loans (seven basis points in the first quarter versus 16 basis points in the fourth quarter).
The tax equivalent NIM was 4.69% for the first quarter of 2019 compared to 4.91% for the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease in the NIM was due mainly to higher deposit and borrowing costs and a lower yield on average loans and leases.
The cost of average total deposits increased to 0.73% for the first quarter of 2019 from 0.62% for the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase was driven primarily by a shift in our deposit mix with increases in time and money market deposits and lower noninterest-bearing demand deposits along with higher rates paid on deposits in conjunction with the Federal Reserve December rate move.

Noninterest income decreased by $2.5 million to $31.1 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $33.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 due mainly to a $5.0 million decrease in other income, offset partially by an increase of $1.6 million in dividends and gains on equity investments and a $1.4 million increase in gain on sale of securities. Other income decreased due primarily to lower miscellaneous income from borrower settlements and lower BOLI income attributable to a death benefit received in the fourth quarter of 2018. Dividends and gains on equity investments increased mainly due to negative mark-to-market valuation adjustments in the fourth quarter on equity investments arising from exercised warrants. The increase in gain on sale of securities was attributable to a net gain of $2.2 million on sales of $405.8 million of securities in the first quarter of 2019 as part of a partial portfolio repositioning compared to a net gain of $0.8 million on sales of $70.9 million of securities in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Noninterest expense decreased by $2.9 million to $126.3 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $129.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 attributable primarily to a $3.3 million decrease in other expense and a $1.7 million decrease in other professional services, offset partially by a $1.5 million increase in compensation expense. The decrease in other expense was mainly due to the $2.1 million write-off of the Square 1 Bank trademark asset in the fourth quarter of 2018 as a result of our plan to retire the Square 1 Bank name and increased employee expense in the fourth quarter of 2018 due to executive relocation costs. Other professional services expense decreased due to lower legal and consulting expenses. Compensation expense increased due to normal seasonal increases in payroll tax and other employee benefit expenses and higher bonus expense, offset partially by lower stock compensation expense, due to an increase in forfeitures, and lower commissions expense.
Income Taxes
The overall effective income tax rate was 27.7% for the first quarter of 2019 and 25.3% for the fourth quarter of 2018. The fourth quarter 2018 effective tax rate was lower due primarily to a change in the state apportionment method applied by the state of Maryland. The effective tax rate for the full year 2019 is estimated to be in the range of 27-28%.

During the first quarter of 2019, nonaccrual loans and leases increased $9.2 million from what was a five-year low as of December 31, 2018, while classified loans and leases decreased by $46.8 million driven primarily by the payoff of a $30 million commercial real estate mortgage loan.
