BALANCE SHEET

Total assets at September 30, 2016 increased $83.8 million to $6.4 billion from $6.3 billion at June 30, 2016, and increased $338.0 million from $6.04 billion at December 31, 2015. The increase in total assets of 5.3 percent on an annualized basis during the third quarter of 2016 was driven by increases in loans and leases. At September 30, 2016, total loans and leases were $5.3 billion, representing an increase of $73.3 million from June 30, 2016, and an increase of $336.8 million from December 31, 2015. During the third quarter of 2016, total loans and leases grew 5.6 percent on an annualized basis. Strong loan growth continued in the commercial real estate and commercial loan and lease portfolios, which increased $73.0 million during the third quarter of 2016, or 6.8 percent on an annualized basis.

Investment securities at September 30, 2016 decreased $1.2 million to $601.4 million, representing 9.4 percent of total assets, as compared to $602.6 million, or 9.6 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2016, and decreased approximately $5.6 million from $607.0 million, or 10.0 percent of total assets, at December 31, 2015.

Total deposits at September 30, 2016 increased $79.8 million to $4.6 billion from $4.5 billion at June 30, 2016 and increased $258.9 million from $4.3 billion at December 31, 2015. Core deposits, which consist of demand checking, NOW, savings, and money market accounts, increased $124.7 million from June 30, 2016 and increased $240.7 million from December 31, 2015. The average cost of interest bearing deposits increased slightly to 0.56 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from 0.55 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Total borrowings at September 30, 2016 remained consistent with June 30, 2016 at $1.0 billion and increased $39.6 million from $983.0 million at December 31, 2015.

The ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets was 10.91 percent at September 30, 2016, as compared to 10.95 percent at June 30, 2016, and 11.05 percent at December 31, 2015, respectively.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased $2.1 million to $52.4 million during the third quarter of 2016 from the quarter ended June 30, 2016, largely as a result of loan growth, a $0.7 million increase in accretion related to acquired loans, and a $0.3 million increase in prepayment fees on loans. The net interest margin increased 4 basis points to 3.48 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to $2.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Net charge-offs decreased $3.5 million to $0.5 million for the third quarter of 2016 from $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2016. As a result, the ratio of net charge-offs to average loans on an annualized basis decreased to 4 basis points for the third quarter of 2016 from 31 basis points for the second quarter of 2016.

The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.10 percent of total loans and leases at September 30, 2016, compared to 1.09 percent at June 30, 2016, and 1.14 percent at December 31, 2015. The allowance for loan and lease losses related to originated loans and leases as a percentage of originated loans and leases was 1.15 percent at September 30, 2016, compared to 1.13 percent at June 30, 2016, and 1.20 percent at December 31, 2015.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 decreased $0.1 million to $5.3 million from $5.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, primarily driven by a decrease of $0.4 million in loan level derivative income offset by an increase of $0.1 million in deposit fees and an increase of $0.2 million in gain on sales of loans and leases held-for-sale.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 increased $1.1 million to $33.4 million from $32.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The Company's efficiency ratio was 57.89 percent at September 30, 2016, compared with 57.97 percent at June 30, 2016.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 35.4 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and was 35.6 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

RETURNS ON AVERAGE ASSETS AND AVERAGE EQUITY

The return on average assets increased during the third quarter of 2016 to 0.86 percent at September 30, 2016 from 0.81 percent at June 30, 2016. The return on average tangible assets increased to 0.88 percent for the third quarter of 2016 from 0.83 percent for the second quarter of 2016.

The return on average stockholders' equity increased during the third quarter of 2016 to 7.83 percent from 7.38 percent for the second quarter of 2016. The return on average tangible stockholders' equity increased to 9.94 percent for the third quarter of 2016 from 9.40 percent for the second quarter of 2016.

ASSET QUALITY

The ratio of nonperforming loans and leases to total loans and leases was 0.70 percent at September 30, 2016 as compared to 0.63 percent at June 30, 2016. Nonperforming loans and leases increased $4.5 million to $37.6 million at September 30, 2016 from $33.1 million at June 30, 2016. Nonperforming assets at September 30, 2016 increased $4.9 million to $38.7 million, or 0.61 percent of total assets, from $33.8 million, or 0.54 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2016. The increase in nonperforming loans and leases and nonperforming assets was primarily driven by certain taxi medallion loans that were placed on nonaccrual.
