    • Leases increased 6.2%.
  • Total deposits increased 1.0% from March 31, 2012 to $12.7 billion at June 30, 2012, as deposit growth was impacted by the anticipated runoff of deposits assumed in recent acquisitions, including higher cost money market accounts.

    • Savings deposits were generally flat.

  • Net interest margin increased 16 basis points to 4.10% compared to 3.94% for the first quarter of 2011, resulting principally from the impact of purchase accounting in connection with the acquisition of Tower Bancorp, Inc.

  • Non-interest income was $39.8 million for the second quarter of 2012, impacted by a full quarter of fees from the expanded customer base resulting from the Tower acquisition, as well as a 24% increase in mortgage banking income. Non-interest income for the quarter also includes pre-tax net securities gains of $1.4 million.
  • Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2012 increased to $121.5 million, as Susquehanna recognized a full quarter of expenses resulting from the Tower acquisition without yet realizing a full quarter of anticipated cost savings from the Tower acquisition or core Susquehanna expense initiatives.

Return on average tangible equity is a non-GAAP-based financial measure calculated using non-GAAP-based amounts. The most directly comparable measure is return on average equity which is calculated using GAAP-based amounts. We calculate return on average tangible equity by excluding the balance of intangible assets and their related amortization expense from our calculation of return on average equity. Management uses the return on average tangible equity in order to review our core operating results. Management believes that this is a better measure of our performance. In addition, this is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which excludes goodwill and other intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios. A reconciliation of return on average equity to return on average tangible equity is set forth below.
