Mark D. Mordell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Net interest income increased to $7.8 million in the third quarter of 2017, a 30% increase over the third quarter of 2016 due to our strong loan growth over the past twelve months, despite declines caused by anticipated construction loan payoffs. As a result of the significant loan growth over the past twelve months, we have increased our loan loss reserve to $8.2 million as our portfolio seasons. The downgrading of a single relationship due to weather-related construction delays has caused our non-performing loans to total loans ratio to increase to 0.96% at the end of the third quarter of 2017 compared to 0.09% at the end of the third quarter of 2016. We are pleased with the strengthening of our capital ratios as a result of our $20 million capital raise completed in July 2017. We are well positioned to continue the franchise growth strategy to scale our balance sheet and infrastructure to serve our markets."
Mr. Mordell continued, "We have added business development and support staff to accelerate and manage our growth. Non-interest expenses increased by $1.68 million to $5.2 million in the third quarter of 2017 from $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2016 primarily due to these increased investments in staffing. Our efficiency ratio increased to 63.5% in the third quarter of 2017 from 56.0% in the third quarter 2016 due to increased staffing expense. Total deposits increased by $41 million in the third quarter of 2017 and increased by $60 million from the same quarter in 2016. The growth in deposits for the third quarter of 2017 was due to an increase in demand deposits and money market accounts. Our net interest margin grew to 4.32% for the first nine months of 2017 compared to 4.02% for the same period of the prior year due to changes in the mix of earning assets in favor of higher yielding loans."
Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2017
Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $22.3 million in the first nine months of 2017, an increase of $4.5 million or 25% over the same period of the prior year. Higher outstanding average loan balances were the primary reason for the increase. Average total loans were $563 million for 2017 compared to $425 million for 2016. Average earning assets were $692 million in the first nine months of 2017, a 17% increase over the prior year. Net interest margin was 4.32% in the first nine months of 2017 compared to 4.02% for the same period in 2016. The increase in net interest margin was primarily caused by an increase of higher yielding loans in the mix of earning assets. A loan loss provision of $1,880,000 was recorded in the first nine months of 2017 and no provision was taken in the same period of 2016. We had no charge-offs and recoveries of $68,000 in the first nine months of 2017 compared to no charge-offs and recoveries of $37,000 for the same period in 2016.
Non-interest income was $1,412,000 in the first nine months of 2017, an increase of $205,000 or 17% over 2016 when the $1,472,000 in life insurance proceeds recognized in the second quarter of 2016 is excluded. Non-interest income was higher in 2017 as a result of increased service charges and other investment income.
Non-interest expense increased by $3.1 million to $14.4 million in the first nine months of 2017 compared to $11.3 million in 2016 due primarily to increased investments in loan production and support personnel.
The effective tax rate was 38.2% in the first nine months of 2017 compared to 33.3% for the same period in 2016. The unusually low effective tax rate in 2016 was due to non-taxable proceeds from life insurance benefits.
Results for the quarter ended September 30, 2017
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, net interest income before provision for loan losses was $7.8 million, an increase of $1.8 million or 30% compared to the third quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily the result of higher average loans outstanding. Average total loans outstanding for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 were $578.9 million, compared to $435.5 million for the same quarter in 2016, an increase of $143.4 million or 33%. Average earning assets were $712.8 million in the third quarter of 2017, a 13% increase over the third quarter of the prior year. Loans made up 81% of average earning assets at the end of the third quarter of 2017 compared to 69% at the end of the third quarter of 2016. Net interest margin was 4.33% for the third quarter of 2017, compared to 3.78% for the third quarter of 2016. A loan loss provision of $74,000 was taken in the third quarter of 2017 and no loan loss provision was taken in the third quarter of 2016.
Non-interest income was $475,000 in the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $113,000 or 31% compared to the third quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due to increased service charges and other investment income in the third quarter of 2017.
Non-interest expense increased by $1,683,000 in the third quarter of 2017 to $5,234,000 compared to $3,551,000 for the third quarter of 2016. This increase was primarily due to higher compensation costs related to increased staffing. The Bank's full time equivalent employees at September 30, 2017 and 2016 were 84 and 68, respectively. The Bank's efficiency ratio increased from 56.0% in the third quarter of 2016 to 63.5% in the third quarter of 2017 due to increased staffing expense.
Balance Sheet
Total assets increased to $763.8 million as of September 30, 2017, compared to $731.1 million at June 30, 2017 and $676.9 million on the same day one year ago. The increase in total assets of $32.7 million, or 4%, from June 30, 2017 was primarily due to growth in Fed Funds resulting from increased demand deposits in the third quarter of 2017. The Company reported total loans at September 30, 2017 of $578.5 million, which represented a decrease of $5.8 million, or 1%, from $584.3 million at June 30, 2017, and an increase of $130.6 million, or 29%, over $447.9 million at September 30, 2016. The decrease in total loans from June 30, 2017 was primarily attributable to construction loan payoffs partially offset by increased commercial loans. The increase in loans from September 30, 2016 was primarily attributable to growth in commercial real estate, construction and commercial loans.
"We had $5.5 million in non-accrual loans comprising 0.96% of total loans from one relationship on September 30, 2017 compared to $0.4 million non-accrual loans comprising 0.09% of total loans at the end of the third quarter of the prior year," observed Mr. Mordell.
The Company's total deposits were $659.7 million as of September 30, 2017, which represented an increase of $40.8 million, or 7%, compared to $618.9 million at June 30, 2017 and an increase of $60.4 million, or 10%, compared to $599.3 million at September 30, 2016. The increase in deposits from June 30, 2017 was due to an increase in demand deposits and money market accounts. The increase from September 30, 2016 was caused by an increase in brokered deposits, CDs greater than $100,000 and money market accounts. The Company had no Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding as of September 30, 2017.
Demand and interest bearing transaction deposits represented 47% of total deposits at September 30, 2017, compared to 46% at June 30, 2017 and 53% for the same period one year ago. Core deposits represented 87% of total deposits at September 30, 2017, compared to 86% at June 30, 2017 and 92% at September 30, 2016. The Company's loan to deposit ratio was 88% at September 30, 2017 compared to 91% at December 31, 2016 and 75% at September 30, 2016.
