Net income available to common shareholders for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, was $25.5 million or $1.54 per diluted share, compared to $5.8 million or $0.51 per diluted share, in the same period of 2018.

Adjusted Earnings

Financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 included $8.8 million and $12.0 million respectively, in pre-tax acquisition and integration expenses, as well as a pre-tax loss on sale of securities of $392 thousand, which was part of a restructuring of securities after the United Community Bancorp ("UCB") acquisition. Excluding these expenses, adjusted earnings were $4.8 million, or $0.37 diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2018 and $16.8 million, or $1.37 diluted earnings per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

A reconciliation of adjusted earnings to net income according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") is provided in the financial tables at the end of this press release.

"Once again, we have had a great quarter of earnings and growth. Our loan growth for the third quarter was strong, at 12.4% annualized. Our core diluted earnings per share for the quarter are up 24.3% compared to 2018. It has now been a full year since we brought on UCB. The results since the acquisition have exceeded our expectations. We also announced earlier this week that we will be redeeming our convertible preferred shares on December 20^th. We believe that the redemption will assist us in aligning our capital structure more fully with our strategic plan," said Dennis G. Shaffer, President and CEO of Civista.

Results of Operations:

Net interest income increased $4.6 million, or 29.0% for the third quarter of 2019, and $18.5 million or 40.8% and for the nine months ended September 30, compared to the same periods of 2018. Interest income increased $6.1 million, or 34.3% for the third quarter of 2019 and $23.6 million or 47.2% for the nine-month period ended September 30. Average earning assets increased $487.7 million for the third quarter of 2019 and $519.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30. The increase in average earning assets resulted in $5.6 million and $18.6 million of the increase in interest income, for the three and nine-month periods, respectively. Earning asset yields increased 14 basis points for the third quarter and 45 basis points for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, accounting for $550 thousand and $5.0 million increase in interest income. Loan yields were impacted by the accretion of UCB related loan purchase accounting adjustments of ($209) thousand for the quarter and $1.8 million year-to-date. During the third quarter, we automated our accretion model related to the purchase accounting adjustments of UCB loans and consequently reviewed our assumptions. Through that process, we determined that we needed to adjust the speed of accretion. Accordingly, we made an adjustment during the quarter of ($209) thousand, which decreased our margin to 4.12%. We estimate that the accretion impact on future quarters will be approximately a positive 15 basis points.

Interest expense increased $1.5 million, or 74.8%, for the third quarter of 2019 and $5.0 million, or 109.5%, for the nine months ended September 30 compared to the same periods of 2018. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 25 basis points and 32 basis points, respectively. The increase in interest expense is due to both an increase in average balances and an increase in rates. Average balances for the third quarter increased $340.9 million, resulting in $653 thousand of the increase, and $378.3 million for the nine-month period, resulting in $2.1 million of the increase. The increase in rate accounted for $890 thousand and $2.9 million of the increase in interest expense.

The tax equivalent net interest margin decreased 3 basis points to 4.12% for the third quarter of 2019, compared to 4.15% for the same period a year ago and increased 21 basis points to 4.35% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to 4.14% for the same period a year ago. Accretion of the purchase accounting adjustments accounted for the 3 basis point reduction for the third quarter margin, due to the automation of our model, and a 14 basis point increase of the year-to-date margin.

The increases in service charge fee income, ATM/Interchange fees and bank owned life insurance income for both the quarter and nine-month periods are primarily attributable to the Company's acquisition of UCB during the third quarter of 2018. The net gain on sale of securities was affected by a loss of $392 thousand in 2018, which was part of a restructuring of securities after the UCB acquisition. The net gain on sale of loans increased due to an increase in mortgage lending in the third quarter of 2019. During the quarter, mortgage loans sold on the secondary market totaled $36.0 million as a result of lower market rates. The third quarter represented 44.8% of our 2019 volume.

For the third quarter of 2019, noninterest expense totaled $16.7 million, a decrease of $5.4 million, or 24.5%, compared to the prior year's third quarter. Noninterest expense for the first nine months of 2019 decreased $470 thousand, or 0.9%, when compared to the first nine months of 2018.

Compensation expense for both periods of 2018 includes $4.2 million of acquisition related expenses. The $2.3 million decrease in compensation expense for the three months was partially offset by increases in salaries, incentives and employee insurance. The $2.2 million increase for the nine months included increases to salaries, commissions and incentives, and employee insurance, which were partially offset by the acquisition expenses. The increases for both periods are primarily due to the increased size of the company due to the UCB acquisition. Year-to-date average FTE employees were 440.8 at September 30, 2019, an increase of 90.4 FTEs over 2018. Net occupancy and equipment expense increased for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to the addition of 9 locations from the UCB acquisition. The decrease in contracted data processing expenses for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, was primarily due to expenses incurred in 2018 for the data processing conversion of UCB, which totaled approximately $2.8 million for the three-month and $5.3 million for the nine-month periods. The decrease in professional services costs, for the third quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 is primarily due to legal and consulting expenses related to the UCB acquisition of approximately $1.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively which were included in the 2018 periods.

The efficiency ratio was 60.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to 84.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The improvement in the efficiency ratio is due primarily to $12.0 million of pre-tax expenses related to the merger with UCB, as well as an increase in net interest income. Without the merger related expenses in 2018, the efficiency ratio would have improved from 64.2% to 60.9%. See the Non-GAAP reconciliation at the end of this press release.

Civista's effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 15.3% compared to 17.6% for the same period in 2018. The effective income tax rate for third quarter 2019 was 14.0% compared to 0.0% in 2018. The 2018 effective tax rate was affected by expenses incurred related to the UCB acquisition.

Balance Sheet

Total assets increased $130.1 million, or 6.1%, from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019, primarily due to increases in cash and cash equivalents of $19.4 million, investment securities of $9.1 million, loans held for sale of $7.6 million, loans of $86.7 million and other assets of $7.4 million.

There continues to be strong growth across all commercial areas. The new focus on treasury management has aided in the substantial increase in commercial and agriculture loans. The commercial real estate and real estate construction loan growth has been led by the urban markets, including better than expected growth from the Cincinnati MSA.

Total deposits increased $52.7 million, or 3.3%, from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019. The increase was due primarily to increases in both noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits. A reduction of brokered deposits partially offset these increases.

Total Deposits	$ 1,632,622	$ 1,579,893	$ 52,729	3.3%

The increase in noninterest-bearing demand is due to an increase in business and public fund demand deposits, primarily in Northern Ohio. Interest-bearing demand deposits increased due to a $30.8 million increase in public funds accounts, primarily in Northern Ohio and Southeastern Indiana. Brokered deposits decreased $5.1 million and Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $42.5 million due to a shift in wholesale funding.

Stock Repurchase Program

During the third quarter, Civista repurchased 188,200 shares for $3.9 million, which equates to an average price of $20.77 per share. The repurchases are a part of the share repurchase program that was approved in December 2018. There are 281,800 shares that remain as part of the current approved repurchase program.

Mr. Shaffer added, "Since the stock repurchase program was approved last December, we have been up-front that we believe stock repurchases to be another tool in our tool-box to maximize shareholder value. We will continue to be opportunistic while maintaining sufficient liquidity and capital to execute our other business strategies."

Asset Quality

The Company recorded net recoveries of $315 thousand for the first nine months of 2019 compared to net charge-offs $193 thousand for the same period of 2018.
