Non-Interest Income
“As noted above, non-interest income was $200,000 lower in the first quarter of 2016 when compared to the first quarter of 2015, the primary result of staff turnover in the residential mortgage division and slower loan closings due to the impacts of recent regulatory changes,” commented Steve Erb, Chief Banking Officer.
Non-Interest Expense
“Non-Interest expenses have stabilized even as the bank grows into it expanded footprint,” commented Ken Trautman, President and CEO. “The bank continues to experience strong growth in both loans and deposits in all of its branches,” commented Trautman.
Provision for Credit Losses
Strong loan growth in the first quarter has prompted a provision expense of $93 thousand in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $8 thousand in the first quarter of 2015. At the end of the first quarter the Allowance for Loan and Lease Loss Reserve to loans held for investment totaled 1.18% compared to 1.27% at the end of the first quarter 2015.
