Mark D. Mordell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our second quarter of 2016 core earnings showed strength as net interest income increased to $6.3 million, a 13% increase over the previous quarter and a 12% increase over the second quarter of 2015. This revenue growth was accomplished while non-interest expenses of $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2016 decreased by 3% over the immediately preceding quarter and increased by only 1% over the second quarter of 2015. Our second quarter results also reflect $1.5 million in income from life insurance policies held on one of the Bank’s co-founders who unfortunately passed away earlier this year.
"We are pleased that our non-performing loans have dropped to 0.09% of total loans compared to 0.97% one year ago. Continuing to maintain high underwriting standards is critical as real estate and company valuations in the Bay Area are at the top of the market at this point in time. We continue to manage our expenses and our efficiency ratio excluding the impact of the income from bank owned life insurance policies has dropped into the low 60% range for the first six months of 2016. The increased efficiencies from our growth and managed expenses allow us to continue to invest in key lending personnel as we expand our business development efforts. The Bank's total deposits increased by $24 million in the second quarter of 2016 and by $103 million from the same quarter in 2015 as we saw dramatic increases in demand deposits from both new and existing clients. As a result, our core deposits increased to 89.9% of total deposits in June 2016 from 85.3% in March 2016. Our net interest margin improved to 4.42% in June compared to 3.93% for the previous quarter due to our loan growth and the recognition of interest from non-accrual loans that have paid off. Our business fundamentals provide us with a solid foundation heading into the remainder of the year."
Results for the six months ended June 30, 2016
Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $11.8 million in the first six months of 2016, an increase of $1,196,000 or 11% over the same period from the prior year. Higher outstanding average loan balances were the primary reason for the increase. Average earning assets were $562 million in the first six months of 2016, a 20% increase over the prior year. Net interest margin was 4.21% for 2016 year to date compared to 4.49% for 2015. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily caused by a decline in loan yields due to the current interest rate environment and increased subordinated debt borrowing costs. No loan loss provision was recorded in the first six months of 2016 and a $2,787,000 provision was taken in 2015. We had net recoveries of $37,000 in the first six months of 2016 compared to net charge-offs of $2,540,000 in the same period of 2015.
Non-interest income, excluding gains on sales of securities, was $2,317,000 in the first six months of 2016, an increase of $1,446,000 or 166% over 2015. The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to the previously mentioned benefit from bank owned life insurance policies and was partially offset by changes in service charges and other fee generation activities.
Non-interest expense grew by $225,000 or 3% in the first six months of 2016 to $7.7 million compared to $7.5 million in 2015. This growth was primarily due to investments in loan production personnel as we continue to expand our footprint and grow our loan portfolio.
Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, net interest income before provision for loan losses was $6.3 million, an increase of $0.7 million or 12% compared to the second quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily the result of higher average loans outstanding partially offset by an increase in interest expense. Average gross loans outstanding for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 were $429.8 million, compared to $400.8 million for the same quarter in 2015, an increase of $29 million or 7%. Average earning assets were $570.4 million in the second quarter of 2016, a 20% increase over the second quarter of the prior year. The mix of average earning assets was comprised of 75% loans at the end of the second quarter 2016 compared to 79% loans at the end of the second quarter of 2015. Net interest margin was 4.42% for the second quarter of 2016, compared to 4.43% for the second quarter of 2015. No loan loss provision was taken in the second quarter of 2016 and a loan loss provision of $1,756,000 was taken in the second quarter of 2015.
Non-interest income was $1,932,000 in the second quarter of 2016, an increase of $1,393,000 or 258% over the second quarter of 2015. The increase was due to the previously mentioned benefit from bank owned life insurance policies. There were no gains or losses on sales of securities in the second quarter of 2016 or 2015.
Non-interest expense grew by $53,000 in the second quarter of 2016 to $3,804,000 compared to $3,751,000 for the second quarter of 2015. This increase was primarily due to hiring additional loan production personnel and was partially offset by an increased deferral of loan origination costs from increased loan fundings. The Bank's full time equivalent employees at June 30, 2016 and 2015 were 67 and 61, respectively. The Bank's efficiency ratio improved from 61% in the second quarter of 2015 to 46% in the second quarter of 2016.
Balance Sheet
Total assets increased to $641 million as of June 30, 2016, compared to $613 million at March 31, 2016 and $556 million on the same date one year ago. The increase in total assets of $28 million, or 5%, from March 31, 2016 was primarily due to our increase in demand deposits, which were used to purchase investment securities during the second quarter of 2016. The Company reported gross loans outstanding at June 30, 2016 of $419 million, which represented a decrease of $4 million, or 1%, from $423 million at March 31, 2016, and an increase of $15 million, or 4%, over $404 million at June 30, 2015. The decrease in total gross loans from March 31, 2016 was primarily attributable to decreased utilization and payoffs of commercial and asset-based lending loans. The increase in loans from June 30, 2015 was attributable to growth in the construction, multi-family and commercial real estate lending categories.
Non-accrual loans totaled $0.4 million or 0.09% of total loans on June 30, 2016 compared to $3.9 million or 0.97% of total loans at the end of the second quarter of the prior year. "Credit quality remains the primary consideration in our lending decisions and our non-performing loans currently represent a single relationship," observed Mr. Mordell.
The Company’s total deposits were $566 million as of June 30, 2016, which represented an increase of $24 million, or 4%, compared to $542 million at March 31, 2016 and an increase of $103 million, or 22%, compared to $463 million at June 30, 2015. The increases in deposits from March 31, 2016 and from June 30, 2015 were both primarily attributable to an increase in demand deposits.
Demand and transaction deposits represented 48.9% of total deposits at June 30, 2016, compared to 40.6% at March 31, 2016 and 41.7% for the same period one year ago. Core deposits represented 89.9% of total deposits at June 30, 2016, compared to 85.3% at March 31, 2016 and 88.7% at June 30, 2015.
