FRESNO, Calif., Oct. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- United Security Bancshares (Nasdaq: UBFO), today announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The Company reported consolidated net income of $2,040,000 or $0.12, per basic and diluted common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $1,886,000 or $0.11 per basic and diluted common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

"We have experienced exceptional growth in our loan portfolio throughout the year while maintaining strong liquidity and capital levels. Our credit quality continues to improve with a 42% reduction in nonperforming assets, relative to year-end 2015, as a result of sales of OREO assets and principal reductions on nonperforming loans. We plan to work hard to continue this momentum through the end of the year." said Dennis R. Woods, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Annualized return on average assets (ROAA) was 1.04% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to 1.01% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increases in ROAE and ROAA for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were primarily due to the growth in the loan portfolio during the year and the resulting favorable impact on interest income. ROAE for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was 8.53% compared to 9.38% for the same period in 2015. ROAA was 1.07% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to 1.16% for the same period in 2015. The average cost of deposits was 0.18% for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2016.

Total assets were up $55,948,000, or 7.71% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, due to net growth of $29,495,000 in the investment portfolio and $45,275,000 in gross loan balances. Loan volume was favorably impacted by the purchase of residential mortgage loans during 2016 in addition to growth in real estate construction and development loans and student loan portfolios.

The Board of Directors of United Security Bancshares declared a third quarter 2016 stock dividend of one percent (1%) on September 27, 2016. The stock dividend was payable to shareholders of record on October 10, 2016, and the shares will be issued on October 21, 2016. This marks the 32nd consecutive quarterly stock dividend since 2008. The Company's Board of Directors has elected to issue stock dividends in order to preserve capital for future growth opportunities. No assurances can be provided that future dividends, whether payable in stock or cash, will be declared and/or as to the timing of such future dividends, if any.
Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 totaled $20,681,000, an increase of $1,297,000 or 6.69% from the net interest income of $19,384,000 for the same period ended September 30, 2015. Although net interest income increased, the Company's net interest margin declined from 4.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to 4.10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The 15 basis point decrease in net interest margin in the period-to-period comparison resulted primarily from growth in average balances on overnight investments which are a low-yielding asset and declining yields on the loan portfolio. The 17 basis point decrease in loan yields is the result of strong loan growth in lower-yielding mortgage loans and competitive pressures on loan yields. Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 totaled $7,400,000, an increase of $744,000 from the net interest income of $6,656,000 for the same period ended September 30, 2015. The increase in net interest income on a quarterly and year-over-year comparison is the result of growth in the loan portfolio and increase in the rate on overnight investments in fed funds.
Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 totaled $3,773,000, reflecting a decrease of $141,000 from $3,914,000 in non-interest income reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Customer service fees, which represent the largest portion of the Company's non-interest income, totaled $2,867,000 and $2,661,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. On a year-over-year comparative basis, non-interest income decreased primarily due to the change in fair value option of financial liability. The Company recorded a $48,000 gain on the fair value option of financial liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to a $346,000 gain for the same period ended September 30, 2015.
Non-interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 totaled $786,000, reflecting a decrease of $663,000 from $1,449,000 in non-interest income reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a $423,000 loss recorded on the fair value option of financial liability for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to a $148,000 gain for the same period ended 2015. The change in the fair value of financial liability was primarily caused by fluctuations in the LIBOR yield curve. Customer service fees totaled $924,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $963,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, non-interest expense totaled $14,988,000, an increase of $584,000 compared to $14,404,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. On a year-over-year comparative basis, non-interest expense increased due primarily to increases of $548,000 in salaries and employee benefit expenses, $239,000 in professional fees, and $191,000 in occupancy expenses, partially offset by a decrease in OREO expense. Professional fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 include a $125,000 legal settlement. Salaries and employee benefit expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflect higher group insurance expense and salary and incentive expense.
Non-interest expense totaled $4,864,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $150,000 as compared to $5,014,000 reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. On a quarter-over-quarter comparative basis, non-interest expense decreased primarily due to decreases in OREO expense, partially offset by an increase in salaries and benefits expense.
The Company recorded a recovery of provision for credit losses of $7,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to a provision of $434,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Net loan charge-offs totaled $788,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to net recoveries of $368,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Included in net loan charge-offs are $641,000 in charge-offs that the Company had fully reserved for in prior periods. The Company had a provision for credit loss of $4,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to a recovery of provision for credit losses of $23,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Net loan recoveries totaled $6,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, as compared to net loan recoveries of $44,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.
With a modest recovery in the economy and real estate markets within the Company's service area, the Company has maintained an adequate allowance for loan losses, which totaled 1.59% of total loans at September 30, 2016, compared to 1.88% of total loans at December 31, 2015. The allowance for loan loss as a percentage of loans has declined over the last few years due to growth in our loan portfolio, improved credit quality, and improved economic conditions. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the judgment of the Company's management is a significant factor and management considers the allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2016 to be adequate.
Non-performing assets, comprised of nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructures (TDR), other real estate owned through foreclosure (OREO), and loans more than 90 days past due and still accruing interest, decreased approximately $13,456,000 between December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016 to $18,638,000. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets decreased from 4.42% at December 31, 2015 to 2.38% at September 30, 2016. The reduction in nonperforming assets is mostly attributed to partial sales on two OREO properties and paydowns on TDR balances. Nonaccrual loans decreased $446,000 between December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016 to $7,747,000. Impaired loans totaled $15,753,000 at September 30, 2016, a decrease of $7,926,000 from the balance of $23,679,000 at December 31, 2015. OREO totaled $7,065,000 at September 30, 2016, a decrease of $5,808,000 from the balance of $12,873,000 at December 31, 2015.
