At September 30, 2019, total loans and leases were $6.6 billion, representing an increase of $141.5 million from June 30, 2019, and an increase of $419.1 million from September 30, 2018, primarily driven by growth in the commercial real estate portfolio.

As of September 30, 2019, securities, cash and cash equivalents represented 9.5 percent of total assets as compared to 9.0 percent and 9.7 percent as of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively.

Total deposits at September 30, 2019 increased $106.8 million from $5.6 billion at June 30, 2019 to $5.7 billion and increased $495.7 million from $5.2 billion at September 30, 2018 driven primarily by growth in demand deposits.

Total borrowed funds at September 30, 2019 increased $55.6 million to $986.4 million from $930.8 million at June 30, 2019 and decreased $96.5 million from $1.1 billion at September 30, 2018.

The ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets was 11.83 percent at September 30, 2019, as compared to 12.03 percent at June 30, 2019, and 12.16 percent at September 30, 2018. The ratio of tangible stockholders' equity to tangible assets was 9.94 percent at September 30, 2019, as compared to 10.08 percent at June 30, 2019, and 10.11 percent at September 30, 2018.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased $0.1 million to $63.2 million during the third quarter of 2019 from $63.1 million at the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The net interest margin decreased 10 basis points to 3.45 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 increased $0.4 million to $7.9 million from $7.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $0.3 million in loan fees, $0.5 million in loan level derivative income and $0.1 million in other non-interest income, partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in gain on securities.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, compared to $3.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The improved, lower provision in the third quarter results from a reduction in classified assets, recoveries and lower charge-offs.

Total net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2019 were $0.4 million compared to $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2019. The ratio of net loan and lease charge-offs to average loans and leases on an annualized basis decreased to 2 basis points for the third quarter of 2019 from 19 basis points for the second quarter of 2019.

The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 0.89 percent of total loans and leases at September 30, 2019, compared to 0.90 percent at June 30, 2019, and 0.96 percent at September 30, 2018. The allowance for loan and lease losses related to originated loans and leases represented 0.90 percent of originated loans and leases at September 30, 2019, compared to 0.92 percent at June 30, 2019, and 1.00 percent at September 30, 2018.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 increased $0.6 million to $40.2 million from $39.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $0.9 million in compensation and employee benefits expense, $0.1 million in occupancy, $0.1 million in equipment and data processing, and $1.1 million in merger and restructuring expense related to the First Ipswich Bank Charter consolidation referenced above, partially offset by decreases of $0.7 million in FDIC insurance and $0.9 million in other non-interest expense.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 24.9 percent and 24.4 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to 20.9 percent and 22.9 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.
