In the second quarter the Company continued to redirect cash flows from the investment portfolio to fund loan demand. Investment securities at June 30, 2019 decreased $16.3 million to $590.8 million, comprising 7.74 percent of total assets, as compared to $607.1 million, or 8.07 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2019, and decreased approximately $84.5 million from $675.3 million, or 9.27 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2018.

Total deposits at June 30, 2019 increased $1.9 million from March 31, 2019 to $5.6 billion and increased $424.2 million from $5.2 billion at June 30, 2018 driven primarily by growth in certificates of deposit.

Total borrowed funds at June 30, 2019 increased $64.8 million to $930.8 million from $866.0 million at March 31, 2019 and decreased $180.2 million from $1.1 billion at June 30, 2018.

The ratio of stockholders’ equity to total assets was 12.03 percent at June 30, 2019, as compared to 11.98 percent at March 31, 2019, and 12.04 percent at June 30, 2018.

Tangible book value per share increased $0.23 from $9.22 at March 31, 2019 to $9.45 at June 30, 2019, compared to $8.85 at June 30, 2018.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased $0.1 million to $63.1 million during the second quarter of 2019 from $63.0 million at the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The net interest margin decreased 9 basis points to 3.55 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 increased $0.9 million to $7.5 million from $6.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $0.2 million in deposit fees, $0.2 million in gain on securities, $0.3 million in gain on sales of loans and leases, and $0.2 million in other non-interest income.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $3.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The higher provision for credit losses is a result of strong loan growth and net higher charge-offs during the quarter.

Total net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2019 were $3.1 million compared to $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2019. The $3.1 million in net charge-offs had previously established specific reserves of $1.0 million versus first quarter net charge-offs of $2.1 million which had previously established reserves of $1.0 million. The ratio of net loan and lease charge-offs to average loans and leases on an annualized basis increased to 19 basis points for the second quarter of 2019 from 13 basis points for the first quarter of 2019.

The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 0.90 percent of total loans and leases at June 30, 2019, compared to 0.91 percent at March 31, 2019, and 0.94 percent at June 30, 2018. The allowance for loan and lease losses related to originated loans and leases represented 0.92 percent of originated loans and leases at June 30, 2019, compared to 0.93 percent at March 31, 2019, and 0.98 percent at June 30, 2018.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 increased $0.7 million to $39.6 million from $38.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $0.2 million in compensation and employee benefits expense, $0.2 million in FDIC insurance, and $0.5 million in other non-interest expense, partially offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in occupancy expense.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 24.9 percent and 24.1 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 23.4 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
