Pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, is presented because management believes this financial metric provides stockholders with useful information for evaluating the profitability of the Company. A schedule reconciling our GAAP net income to pre-tax, pre-provision earnings is provided in the tables below.
Simone Lagomarsino, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "I'm proud to announce our financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019. Total assets grew at a measured pace during the quarter, increasing to $7.1 billion. Asset growth was primarily driven by loan growth of $122 million, resulting in net loans at quarter end of $6.3 billion. We generated new deposits of $153 million during the quarter, bringing total deposits to $5.2 billion. Net interest income decreased to $30.6 million, or $1.5 million below the linked quarter. The decline was primarily attributable to a $1.8 million increase in interest expense caused by an 11 basis point increase in the cost of our deposits compared to the linked quarter, as well as an increase in our average total deposits during the quarter. Net interest margins were 1.75% and 1.86% during the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The 11 basis point compression was due to a 3 basis point decline in the yield on loans and the aforementioned 11 basis point increase in our cost of deposits. Despite the challenges resulting from the current interest rate environment, I remain optimistic that our efforts to improve our deposit structure will ultimately have a positive impact on our funding costs. In addition, we maintain a very disciplined approach to expense management and, as a result, we are one of the most efficient companies within our peer group, with an efficiency ratio of 46% for the quarter and a noninterest expense to average total assets ratio of only 84 basis points."
Ms. Lagomarsino continued, "During the quarter, we repurchased 366,701 shares of our common stock at an average price of $10.22 per share, and since the inception of our stock repurchase program, we've repurchased 933,001 shares at an average price of $9.78 per share, or an 8% discount to our book value. There is approximately $5.9 million for additional share repurchases remaining in the program."
Board Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.0575 Per Share
On July 29, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0575 per common share. The dividend is payable on August 19, 2019 to shareholders of record as of August 8, 2019.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 totaled $30.6 million compared to $32.1 million for the previous quarter and $31.2 million for the same period last year. As compared to the linked quarter, net interest income was negatively impacted by a $2.2 million increase in deposit interest expense caused by increases in the average balance and cost of deposits of $103.4 million and 11 basis points, respectively. The $591 thousand, or 1.9%, decrease in net interest income over the same period last year was primarily related to an increase in the average balance and cost of deposits of $860.2 million and 68 basis points, respectively. This decline in net interest income was partially offset by growth in the average balance and yield of our loan portfolio of $654.4 million and 23 basis points, respectively, an increase in the average balance of investments and yield on investments of $95.0 million and 44 basis points, respectively, and a decrease in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB) advances of $171.1 million compared to the same period last year. Net interest margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was 1.75%, compared to 1.86% for the previous quarter and 2.00% for the same period last year. The decline in net interest margin from these previous periods primarily relates to our rising cost of funds, which has generally outpaced the increases in yield on our interest earning assets caused by short-term rate increases, as well as the inversion in the yield curve, which commenced during the first quarter of 2019 and further steepened during the current quarter. Our net interest spread in the second quarter of 2019 was 1.58%, declining by 9 basis points and 28 basis points, respectively, compared to the previous quarter and the same period last year.
Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $62.7 million compared to $61.6 million for the same period last year. The $1.0 million, or 1.7%, increase in net interest income over the same period last year was primarily related to growth in the average balance and yield of our loan portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the average balance of loans increased by $827.9 million and the yield increased by 29 basis points, compared to the same period last year. The improvement in net interest income was further enhanced by growth in the average balance and yield of our investment portfolio, which increased by $104.0 million and 51 basis points, respectively. This increase was partially offset by growth in the average balance and costs of our deposits of $941.1 million and 71 basis points, respectively. Additionally, while the average balance of FHLB advances decreased, the cost of FHLB advances increased 41 basis points, compared to the same period last year. Net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 1.81%, compared to 2.05% for the same period last year. As discussed above, the decline in net interest margin primarily relates to our rising cost of funds, which has generally outpaced the increases in yield on our interest earning assets due to short-term rate increases and the inversion of the yield curve. Our net interest spread during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 1.62%, declining by 30 basis points compared to the same period last year.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 totaled $1.5 million, compared to $1.4 million for the previous quarter and $817 thousand for the same period last year. The increase of $108 thousand in noninterest income, or 7.8%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to the linked quarter ended March 31, 2019, was primarily attributable to a non-recurring recovery of $384 thousand recognized during the current quarter in connection with an equipment writedown during the prior year, partially offset by a $154 thousand decline in servicing fee income related to elevated actual and estimated prepayments on serviced loans that decreased the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights, as well as a $136 thousand decline in gains recognized on the sale of loans. The increase of $671 thousand in noninterest income, or 82.1%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2018, was primarily attributable to the recovery of $384 thousand, discussed above, gains on sale of loans of $197 thousand and an increase in the fair value of equity securities of $166 thousand in the current quarter, partially offset by a $99 thousand decrease in servicing fee income due to a general decline in the portfolio of serviced loans, as well as a decline in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights, as described above.
Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $2.9 million, compared to $1.8 million for the same period last year. The increase of $1.0 million in noninterest income, or 55.7%, was primarily attributable to the gains on sale of loans of $530 thousand, the recovery of $384 thousand, discussed above, and an increase in the fair value of equity securities of $311 thousand in the current year, partially offset by a $185 thousand decrease in servicing fee income for the reasons described above.
Noninterest income primarily consists of FHLB stock dividends, mark to market adjustments on equity securities, fee income and the financial impact related to loans sold.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 totaled $14.7 million compared to $16.2 million for the previous quarter and $14.9 million for the same period last year. Compared to the linked quarter, noninterest expense decreased $1.5 million, or 9.5%, primarily due to a decrease of $1.4 million in compensation and related benefits caused by an increase in capitalized loan origination costs related to higher loan production in the current quarter compared to the prior quarter. Compared to the same period last year, noninterest expense decreased $213 thousand, or 1.4%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 primarily attributable to a decrease in compensation and related benefits of $585 thousand and a decline in the provision for unfunded commitments of $236 thousand, partially offset by an increase of $510 thousand in marketing expenses related to deposit gathering efforts.
Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $31.0 million compared to $29.6 million for the same period last year. The increase of $1.3 million, or 4.5%, is primarily attributable to an increase of $1.5 million in marketing expenses related to deposit gathering efforts.
Noninterest expense primarily consists of compensation costs, as well as expenses incurred related to occupancy, depreciation and amortization, data processing, marketing and professional services.
Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets at June 30, 2019 were $7.1 billion, an increase of $177.1 million, or 5.1% annualized, from December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to a $136.1 million, or 4.4% annualized, increase in loans held-for-investment and a $29.7 million, or 9.8% annualized, increase in our available-for-sale debt securities. Absent loan sales of $51.1 million and transfers of loans to held for sale of $10.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, loan growth would have been $197.8 million, or 6.5% annualized. Total liabilities increased $160.8 million, or 5.1% annualized, to $6.5 billion at June 30, 2019 from December 31, 2018. The increase in total liabilities was primarily attributable to growth in our deposits of $233.5 million, or 9.3% annualized, partially offset by a decrease in FHLB advances of $74.3 million, or 13.0% annualized, compared to December 31, 2018.
Loans
Total loans at June 30, 2019 were $6.3 billion, an increase of $136.1 million from December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to originations of multifamily and single family residential loans. Our loan portfolio generally consists of income property loans (IPL) and single family residential (SFR) mortgage loans, which represent 65.7% and 34.0%, respectively, of our total loan portfolio.
Our IPL portfolio primarily consists of hybrid multifamily residential and commercial real estate loans. IPL loans totaled $4.1 billion at June 30, 2019 compared to $3.9 billion at December 31, 2018. The yield on the IPL portfolio was 4.12% during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to 4.10% and 3.82% during the linked quarter and the same period last year, respectively. The increase in yield compared to the same period last year was the result of the rate on new loan originations exceeding the rate on loan payoffs since early 2017. For the quarter ended June 30, 2019, IPL loan originations and the corresponding weighted average coupon totaled $280.1 million and 4.37%, respectively, compared to $207.3 million and 4.61%, respectively, for the linked quarter and $382.3 million and 4.55%, respectively, for the same period last year. The decline in the average coupon for the current period originations compared to the linked quarter and the same period last year was due to a recent decrease in interest rates, as well as competitive pricing pressures. Prepayment speeds within the IPL loan portfolio were 10.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to 7.0% and 6.8% during the linked quarter and the same period last year, respectively.
Our SFR loan portfolio generally consists of hybrid loans. SFR loans totaled $2.1 billion and $2.2 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The yield on the SFR portfolio was 3.56% during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to 3.70% and 3.50% during the linked quarter and the same period last year, respectively. The decrease in yield compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to an increase in SFR prepayments resulting in the accelerated recognition of deferred loan origination costs. The increase in yield compared to the same period last year was the result of the rate on new loan originations exceeding the rate on loan payoffs since early 2017, partially offset by an increase in the accelerated recognition of deferred loan origination costs, as discussed above. For the quarter ended June 30, 2019, SFR loan originations and the corresponding weighted average coupon totaled $154.1 million and 4.34%, respectively, compared to $104.2 million and 4.63%, respectively, for the linked quarter and $252.6 million and 4.78%, respectively, for the same period last year. The decreased originations during the current quarter compared to the same period last year was primarily due to a slowing in demand for hybrid SFR loans, as a result of an inversion in the yield curve. Prepayment speeds within the SFR loan portfolio were 31.9% during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to 26.3% and 22.0% during the linked quarter and the same period last year, respectively.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming loans totaled $11.7 million, or 0.19% of total loans, at June 30, 2019, compared to $2.0 million, or 0.03% of total loans, at December 31, 2018. The increase was due to two SFR mortgage loans and one IPL loan being placed on nonaccrual status during the current quarter. These loans have a weighted average loan to value of 69.6% and no losses are anticipated. There was no real estate owned at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and we have not foreclosed on any collateral since 2015. For the quarter ended June 30, 2019, loan loss provisions of $450 thousand were recorded compared to $300 thousand in the prior quarter and $1.3 million for the same period last year. The higher loan loss provisions during the current quarter compared to the linked quarter were primarily recorded to support the continued growth in our loan portfolio. The lower loan loss provisions recorded during the current quarter compared to the same period last year were primarily due to the sustained credit performance of our loan portfolio and slower net loan growth. Our allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.56% at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, compared to 0.58% at June 30, 2018.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, loan loss provisions of $750 thousand were recorded compared to $2.8 million for the same period last year. As discussed above, the lower loan loss provisions were primarily due to the sustained performance of our loan portfolio and slower loan growth as compared to the same period last year.
