Loans and Credit Quality

Loans totaled $1.2 billion at December 31, 2016, a decrease of $5.5 million, or 0.4%, from September 30, 2016, and an increase of $3.5 million, or 0.3%, from December 31, 2015. Organic loan growth during 2016 totaled $94.1 million, or 12%.  Much of the organic loan growth has been offset by paydowns in acquired mortgage loans.  Loan declines during the fourth quarter of 2016 related primarily to one- to four-family first mortgage (down $11.2 million) and home equity loans (down $4.5 million), which were partially offset by increases in construction and land loans (up $5.9 million) and commercial real estate loans (up $5.1 million). 

The following table sets forth the composition of the Company's loan portfolio as of the dates indicated.

Nonperforming assets ("NPAs"), excluding purchased credit impaired ("PCI") loans,  totaled $16.6 million at December 31, 2016, a decrease of $4.5 million, or 21%, compared to September 30, 2016 and an increase of $5.3 million, or 46%, compared to December 31, 2015.  The decrease in NPAs at year-end 2016 was primarily the result of payoffs on certain loans placed on nonaccrual in the second quarter of 2016.  The ratio of total NPAs to total assets was 1.07% at December 31, 2016, compared to 1.37% at September 30, 2016 and 0.73% at December 31, 2015.    

The Company recorded net loan charge-offs of $182,000 during the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to net loan charge-offs of $54,000 in the third quarter of 2016 and the fourth quarter of 2015.  The Company's provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $500,000, compared to $800,000 for the third quarter of 2016 and $670,000 for the fourth quarter of 2015. 

The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.02% at December 31, 2016, compared to 0.99% and 0.78% at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.  Excluding acquired loans, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.38% at December 31, 2016, compared to 1.36% and 1.15% at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.   

Direct Energy Exposure

The outstanding balance of direct loans to borrowers in the energy sector totaled $34.0 million, or 3% of total outstanding loans, at December 31, 2016.  We also had unfunded loan commitments to customers in the energy sector amounting to $6.7 million at such date.    At December 31, 2016, loans constituting 93% of the balance of our direct energy-related loans were performing in accordance with their original loan agreements.  Of the remaining 7%, $571,000 had been restructured and were paying in accordance with the restructured terms as of December 31, 2016.  The Company holds no shared national credits.

The following table illustrates the composition of the Company's loans to borrowers in the energy sector (which we consider direct energy-related loans) at December 31, 2016.
