Second Quarter 2014 Compared to First Quarter 2014
Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 improved $31,000 from the previous quarter, or 0.9%, as the volume of average earning assets increased $6.0 million for the second quarter of 2014.
Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased $129,000, or 20.5%, compared to the previous quarter, primarily due to an increase in service charges on deposits of $35,000 and an increase in security gains of $74,000. Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased $71,000, or 2.3%, compared to the previous quarter, primarily due to an increase in other real estate expense.
A $150,000 provision for loan losses was recorded for the second quarter of 2014, compared to a $125,000 provision in the previous quarter, an increase of $25,000. The allowance for loan losses to total loans remained relatively constant at 1.59% compared to 1.60% in the first quarter. Net charge-offs (recoveries) were $24,000 for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $(49,000) in the first quarter of 2014.
Second Quarter 2014 Compared to Second Quarter 2013
Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 decreased $26,000, or 0.7%, compared to the previous year. The decrease in net interest income was impacted by a reduction in interest expense of $69,000 combined with a decrease in interest income of $95,000. The decrease in interest income was created by a decline in the yield on loans from 5.28% in the second quarter of 2013 to 5.13% in the second quarter of 2014. Loan yields have declined as maturing loans were repriced at a lower rate.
Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 decreased $37,000, or 4.7%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to a decline in gains on sale of mortgage loans.
Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 decreased $46,000, or 1.4%, compared to the three months ended June 30 2013, due to a decrease in legal and collection expenses.
A $150,000 provision for loan losses was recorded for the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $100,000, from $50,000 in the second quarter of 2013. The allowance for loan losses to total loans decreased from 1.98% of total loans at June 30, 2013 to 1.59% at June 30, 2014, primarily due to charge-offs of specific allocations which were included in the allowance at June 30, 2013. Net charge-offs were $24,000 for the second quarter of 2014 compared to net charge-offs of $635,000 in the second quarter of 2013.
