  • Loan growth continued to be strong, particularly in the commercial lending portfolio.

  • Nonperforming assets decreased by $418,000 to $15.1 million, or 0.94% of total assets, compared to $15.6 million, or 1.06%, of total assets at September 30, 2013.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income of $18.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 represented an increase of $605,000, or 3%, compared to $17.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, and an increase of $2.6 million, or 16%, compared to $15.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. The increase in net interest income from the prior quarter and the same period in 2012 was primarily attributable to an increase in average earning assets, combined with a higher level of loan related fees. Average earning assets of $1.46 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 increased $52.6 million, or 4%, compared to $1.41 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, and increased $228.8 million, or 19%, compared to $1.23 billion for the same quarter in 2012. Loan fee amortization for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 was $3.6 million, compared to $3.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, and $2.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, net interest income of $68.3 million represented an increase of $7.7 million, or 13%, from $60.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, and was primarily attributed to an increase in average earning assets as a result of loan growth and excess liquidity generated from deposit growth. Average earning assets of $1.37 billion for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 increased $221.0 million, or 19%, compared to $1.15 billion for the same period one year ago.

The Company's net interest margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 was 4.99%, compared to 5.01% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, and 5.10% for the same period one year earlier. The decrease in net interest margin compared to the same period one year ago was primarily due to deposit growth outpacing loan growth, which created excess liquidity and a slightly less favorable mix of earning assets offset, in part, by increased loan fees.

The Company's loan-to-deposit ratio, a measure of leverage, averaged 77.5% during the three months ended December 31, 2013, which represented an increase compared to an average of 76.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, and a decrease from an average of 78.9% for the same period of 2012. The impact on the net interest margin from increased loan fees for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the prior quarter and the same period one year ago was 6 basis points and 11 basis points, respectively. The negative impact of reversal or foregone interest due to nonperforming assets was 10 basis points and 9 basis points in the fourth and third quarters of 2013, respectively, compared with 6 basis points in the same period one year earlier.

The Company's net interest margin for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 was 4.98%, compared to 5.27% for the same period one year ago. The decrease in net interest margin from the prior year was primarily due to a less favorable mix in average earning assets, decreased leverage and increased nonperforming loans. The Company's loan-to-deposit ratio, a measure of leverage, averaged 78.3% during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, compared with 80.9% for the same period of 2012. The impact on the net interest margin from increased loan fees for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the same period one year ago was 5 basis points. The negative impact of reversal or foregone interest due to nonperforming assets was 8 basis points for year ended December 31, 2013 and 6 basis points for the same period one year earlier.

Non-Interest Income

The Company's non-interest income for the quarters ended December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012 was $3.9 million, $2.7 million, and $3.7 million, respectively.

The increase in non-interest income of $1.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the third quarter of 2013 was primarily attributed to an increase in warrant income and an increase in the gain on sale of SBA loans. The increase in non-interest income of $200,000 during the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the same period one year earlier was primarily attributed to an increase in warrant income, depositor service charges and international fee income. For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company received warrant related income of $785,000, compared to $234,000 for the period ended September 30, 2013, and $149,000 for the same period one year earlier. For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized a gain from the sale of SBA loans of $751,000, compared to $253,000 for the third quarter of 2013, and $989,000 for the same period one year earlier. Service charges on deposits increased to $954,000 during the fourth quarter of 2013 from $926,000 in the third quarter of 2013, and $826,000 during the same period one year earlier. Additionally, the Company recognized $763,000 in international fee income during the quarter ended December 31, 2013, compared to $633,000 for the prior quarter, and 643,000 for the same period one year earlier.

Non-interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $14.3 million and $13.0 million, respectively. The primary drivers for the increase in non-interest income of $1.1 million was an increase in the gain on sale of SBA loans of $832,000 and an increase in the gain on sale of securities of $481,000, partially offset by decreases in gains from the sale of real estate owned of $586,000.

Net interest income and non-interest income comprised total revenue of $22.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, compared to $20.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and $19.5 million for the same period one year earlier. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, total revenue of $82.6 million represented an increase of $9.0 million, or 12%, from $73.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $14.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, compared to $13.2 million and $12.2 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Overall, the increase in non-interest expenses reflects the Company's investments in new initiatives and personnel to support future growth.

Salary and benefits expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 was $9.4 million, compared to $8.4 million and $8.3 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Salary and benefits expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 was $33.5 million compared to $30.3 million for the same period one year ago. The increase in salary and benefits expense compared to the same periods in prior year was primarily related to an increase in headcount to support growth and new initiatives, combined with annual salary increases necessary to remain competitive in the Company's core markets and increased stock-based compensation due to long-term retention awards. As of December 31, 2013, the Company employed 235 full-time equivalents (FTE) compared to 230 FTE at September 30, 2013 and 207 FTE at December 31, 2012.

Marketing expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 was $586,000, compared to $859,000 and $544,000 for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Marketing expense was $2.6 million for twelve months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $2.1 million for the same period one year ago. The increase in marketing expense from prior year was a result of an overall initiative to increase brand awareness.

"Other real estate owned" and loan-related charges were $212,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, compared to $274,000 and $334,000 for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. "Other real estate owned" and loan-related charges were $1.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 compared to $955,000 for the same period one year ago. The increase in "other real estate owned" and loan related charges from prior year was primarily attributed to an increase in average nonperforming assets.

Regulatory assessments related to FDIC insurance for deposit balances, totaled $345,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, compared to $376,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and $224,000 for the same period one year ago. Regulatory assessments for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 were $1.2 million compared to $878,000 for the same period one year ago. Regulatory assessments fluctuate depending on asset size and other factors, including credit quality.

The Company's efficiency ratio, the ratio of non-interest expense to revenues, was 62.76%, 64.18%, and 62.55% for the quarters ended December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively. The efficiency ratio was 62.83% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 compared to 62.81% for the same period one year earlier.
