Commercial real estate and employment data reflected positive trends with some areas of slowing towards the end of 2018 in the markets we serve. As we move into 2019, unemployment for the month of February has increased in all three of the Bank’s market areas compared to year-end 2018. Commercial real estate data is not yet available for 2019.

As of the fourth quarter 2018, Sacramento area vacancy rates for all three segments decreased further to 10.2% for office, 7.8% for retail, and 4.7% for industrial.

As of the fourth quarter 2018, Sonoma County’s office vacancy decreased further to 12.3%, industrial vacancy increased to 4.8%, and retail vacancy increased to 4.5%.
In all segments (office, retail, and industrial), the Greater Sacramento Area reported positive absorption from December 31, 2016 through December 31, 2018. Sonoma County and the City of Santa Rosa also reported positive absorption over this same time period for the office segment.

There is no retail rental rate data available for the City of Santa Rosa for these time periods.
Due to the rural nature of the Amador County region, it has the lowest level of commercial real estate concentration in the Bank’s footprint. There is limited supply for commercial real estate in this region and as a result, minimal information is available.

The highest occupancy rate within this time range was in second quarter 2017 at 97.7%, and the lowest was first quarter 2018 at 96.3%. As of the fourth quarter 2018, occupancy was at 96.4%.

Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) include nonperforming loans, leases, and other assets and other real estate owned. Nonperforming loans includes all such loans and leases that are either placed on nonaccrual status or are 90 days past due as to principal or interest but still accrue interest because such loans are well-secured and in the process of collection. NPAs were $982,000 at March 31, 2019 compared to $984,000 at December 31, 2018 and $2.8 million at March 31, 2018.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company did not add, sell, or modify the value of any OREO properties. There was no OREO valuation allowance recorded at March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018, or March 31, 2018.
Loans measured for impairment were $8.6 million at the end of March 2019, compared to $8.7 million at December 31, 2018, and to $12.5 million at the end of March 2018. Specific reserves of $164,000 were held on the impaired loans at March 31, 2019, compared to $185,000 at December 31, 2018 and $524,000 at March 31, 2018.

There was no provision for loan and lease losses added for the first quarter of 2018. The additions to the loan and lease loss allowance in the fourth quarter of 2018 and in the first quarter of 2019 was due to the growth in loan balances during 2018 and continuing into 2019. The Company had net recoveries of $5,000 in the first quarter of 2019 compared to net losses of $65,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018 and net recoveries of $10,000 in the first quarter of 2018.

The methodology incorporates a variety of risk considerations, both quantitative and qualitative, in establishing an allowance for loan and lease losses that management believes is appropriate at each reporting date.

Shareholders’ equity increased $2.9 million (3.8%) to $77.6 million at March 31, 2019 compared to $74.7 million at December 31, 2018. The increase in equity from December 31, 2018 was due to a $1.8 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income related to an increase in the unrealized gain on securities, an $853,000 increase in Retained Earnings due to the net income for the quarter less cash dividends declared, and a $178,000 increase in stock based compensation expense.
Net Interest Income
The net interest income during the first quarter 2019 increased $812,000 (17.1%) to $5.5 million from $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2018 and the net interest margin as a percentage of average earning assets was 3.59% in the first quarter of 2019, compared to 3.54% in the fourth quarter of 2018 and 3.29% in the first quarter of 2018. Interest income for the first quarter of 2019 increased $1.1 million (21.0%) to $6.1 million compared to $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2018 and interest expense for the first quarter of 2019 increased $254,000 (77.2%) to $583,000 compared to $329,000 for the first quarter of 2018.

The average tax equivalent yield on earning assets increased from 3.51% in the first quarter of 2018 to 3.96% for the first quarter of 2019. Much of the increase in yields from the first quarter of 2018 to the first quarter of 2019 can be attributed to an increase in loans. When compared to the first quarter of 2018, average loan balances increased $21.3 million (6.9%) from $307.3 million to $328.6 million for the first quarter of 2019.
The average balance of earning assets increased 7.0% from $591.9 million in the first quarter of 2018 to $633.0 million in the first quarter of 2019.
Average deposits decreased $4.7 million (0.8%) from $586.4 million during the first quarter of 2018 to $581.7 million during the first quarter of 2019. Average borrowings increased $4.0 million (26.0%) from $15.5 million during the first quarter of 2018 to $19.5 million during the first quarter of 2019.
Noninterest Income and Expense
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2019 was $411,000, an increase of $39,000 (10.5%) from $372,000 in the first quarter of 2018. The increase in noninterest income was predominately related to an increase in income from the gain on sale of securities from $1,000 in 2018 to $36,000 in 2019.
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2019 was $4.3 million, an increase of $910,000 (27.2%) from $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2018. The increase is primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $575,000 due to an increase in key lending and credit employees hired during the second quarter of 2018. Also included was an increase in other expenses of $342,000. Other expense includes costs such as insurance, advertising, director expenses, technology and telephone expenses, and bank charges.
The fully taxable equivalent efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2019 increased to 70.9% from 64.8% for the first quarter of 2018.
Provision for Income Taxes
Federal and state income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 decreased by $32,000 (7.9%) from $406,000 in the first quarter of 2018 to $374,000 in the first quarter of 2019. The lower provision for taxes in 2019 compared to 2018 primarily resulted from the lower income before taxes, a decrease of $239,000 (13.6%) from $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2018 to $1.5 million the first quarter of 2019.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release contains certain non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures in addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures include tangible book value and taxable equivalent basis. Management has presented these non-GAAP financial measures in this earnings release because it believes that they provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Company’s financial position reflected in the current quarter and year-to-date results and facilitate comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers.
Net Interest Margin and Efficiency Ratio (non-GAAP financial measures)
In accordance with industry standards, certain designated net interest income amounts are presented on a taxable equivalent basis, including the calculation of net interest margin and the efficiency ratio. The Company believes the presentation of net interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis using a 21% effective tax rate for 2018 and 2019 allows for comparability of net interest margin with industry peers by eliminating the effect of the differences in portfolios attributable to the proportion represented by both taxable and tax-exempt loans and investments. The efficiency ratio is a measure of a banking company’s overhead as a percentage of its revenue. The Company derives this ratio by dividing total noninterest expense by the sum of the taxable equivalent net interest income and the total noninterest income.
Tangible Equity (non-GAAP financial measures)
Tangible common stockholders' equity (tangible book value) excludes goodwill and other intangible assets. The Company believes the exclusion of goodwill and other intangible assets to create “tangible equity” facilitates the comparison of results for ongoing business operations. The Company’s management internally assesses its performance based, in part, on these non-GAAP financial measures.
