MANAGEMENT COMMENTS
Rex L. Smith, III, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The Company continues to experience robust growth consistent with our strategic plan for 2016. Non-PCI loan growth was $19.5 million for the quarter and over $36 million year to date. Despite constant variations in interest rates and a very competitive environment, net interest margin for the quarter was 3.82%, a decline of only five basis points year to date. Asset quality remains good, but due to the growth of loans, the Bank posted a provision for the first time in 13 quarters."
Smith added, "On the funding side, noninterest bearing deposit growth remains strong. Demand deposits increased by $19.5 million, or over 20.2% year to date. Total deposits are over $957 million, an increase of $11.5 million year to date. Noninterest income also continues to increase, mainly from the growth in checking accounts and the fees associated with them. Noninterest expense remains relatively flat as salaries and benefits are slightly down on a linked quarter basis. The biggest change is the provision expense associated with overall loan growth."
Smith concluded, "We are pleased by the results of the first half of 2016, as we have met or exceeded all of our strategic targets so far. We will continue to push for earnings growth by adding quality loans, holding the line on pricing and expenses and continuing to gain market share of low cost deposits."
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income was $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared with $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2016 and $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2015. Earnings per common share, basic and fully diluted, were $0.11 per share, $0.11 per share and $0.08 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2016, March 31, 2016, and June 30, 2015, respectively.
The decrease of $102,000 in net income during the second quarter of 2016 compared with the first quarter of 2016 was primarily due to a $200,000 provision for loan losses that was added in the current quarter to support robust loan growth of $19.5 million. Net interest income improved slightly, 1.2%, on a linked quarter basis, as did noninterest income, 5.6% on the same basis. Noninterest expenses were slightly higher, by 2.5%.
The increase of $625,000 in net income when comparing the second quarter of 2016 with the same period in 2015 was driven by a $1.2 million decline in total noninterest expense. In September 2015, the Company and the FDIC mutually terminated their shared-loss agreements, which resulted in the elimination of FDIC indemnification amortization expense in future periods, which was $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2015. Also improving in the second quarter of 2016 versus the same period in 2015 was noninterest income, which increased $189,000, or 15.7%. Offsetting this improvement was a decrease of $230,000 in net interest income, the result of margin pressure and lower securities balances. Also affecting net income was an increase in the effective tax rate, due to higher taxable income, from 23.9% to 27.5% year-over-year.
Net income was $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with $3.0 million for the first half of 2015. The increase in net income was the result of a decline of $2.7 million in noninterest expenses, driven by the elimination of the FDIC indemnification asset amortization, which was $0 for the first two quarters of 2016 and $2.4 million for the same period in 2015. Offsetting the increase in net income was an increase in the effective tax rate from 22.7% to 28.2%. Fully diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $0.22 compared with $0.14 for the same period in 2015. This represents an increase of 50.0%. Basic earnings per share were $0.22 for the six month period versus $0.14 for the same period in 2015, an increase of 57.1%.
