Net income for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased 0.72%, primarily driven by an increase in net interest income, and an increase in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense, an increase in the provision for credit losses, and an increase in the provision for income taxes, compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a $1,025,000 provision for credit losses, compared to a $50,000 provision during the year ended December 31, 2018. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $63,772,000, compared to $62,703,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $1,069,000 or 1.70%. The impact to interest income from the accretion of the loan marks on acquired loans was $989,000 and $1,158,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In addition, net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2019 was benefited by approximately $779,000 in nonrecurring income from prepayment penalties and payoff of loans previously on nonaccrual status, as compared to a $498,000 in nonrecurring income for the year ended December 31, 2018. Excluding these reversals and benefits, net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased by $788,000 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company’s shareholders’ equity increased $8,390,000, or 3.82%, compared to December 31, 2018. The increase in shareholders’ equity was driven by the retention of earnings, net of dividends paid, and an increase in net unrealized gains on available-for-sale (AFS) securities recorded, net of estimated taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI).

Return on average equity (ROE) for the year ended December 31, 2019 was 9.39%, compared to 10.07% for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in ROE was primarily due to the increase in shareholders’ equity compared to the prior year period. The Company declared and paid $0.43 and $0.31 per share in cash dividends to holders of common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 1.36% for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 1.35% for the year ended December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company’s total assets increased 3.83%, and total liabilities increased 3.83%, compared to December 31, 2018.

Non-performing assets decreased by $1,047,000, or 38.21%, to $1,693,000 at December 31, 2019, compared to $2,740,000 at December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $999,000 in net loan charge-offs, compared to $276,000 in net recoveries for the year ended December 31, 2018. The net charge-off (recovery) ratio, which reflects annualized net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans, was 0.11% for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to (0.03)% for the same period in 2018. Total non-performing assets were 0.11% and 0.18% of total assets as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

At December 31, 2019, the allowance for credit losses was $9,130,000, compared to $9,104,000 at December 31, 2018, a net increase of $26,000 reflecting the net charge-offs and provision during the period. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.97% and 0.99% as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Total loans includes loans acquired in the acquisitions of Folsom Lake Bank on October 1, 2017, Sierra Vista Bank on October 1, 2016 and Visalia Community Bank on July 1, 2013 that, at their respective acquisition dates, were recorded at fair value and did not have a related allowance for credit losses. The recorded value of acquired loans totaled $152,735,000 at December 31, 2019 and $189,719,000 at December 31, 2018. Excluding these acquired loans from the calculation, the allowance for credit losses to total gross loans was 1.15% and 1.25% as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and general reserves associated with non-impaired loans to total non-impaired loans was 1.16% and 1.25%, respectively. The Company believes the allowance for credit losses is adequate to provide for probable incurred credit losses within the loan portfolio at December 31, 2019.

The Company’s net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) was 4.51% for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to 4.44% for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in net interest margin in the period-to-period comparison resulted from the increase in the effective yield on interest earning deposits in other banks and Federal Funds sold, the increase in the effective yield on average investment securities, and the increase in the yield on the Company’s loan portfolio.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the effective yield on average total earning assets increased 15 basis points to 4.69% compared to 4.54% for the year ended December 31, 2018, while the cost of average total interest-bearing liabilities increased to 0.34% for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to 0.19% for the year ended December 31, 2018. Over the same periods, the cost of average total deposits increased to 0.15% for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 0.09% for the same period in 2018.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company’s average investment securities, including interest-earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, totaled $494,455,000, a decrease of $32,151,000, or 6.11%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2018.

Total average loans (including nonaccrual), which generally yield higher rates than investment securities, increased $18,755,000, from $912,128,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 to $930,883,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The effective yield on average loans increased to 5.54% for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to 5.50% for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Total average assets for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $1,574,089,000 compared to $1,577,410,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of $3,321,000 or 0.21%. During the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the loan-to-deposit ratio was 70.76% and 71.64%, respectively. Total average deposits decreased $37,974,000 or 2.85% to $1,295,780,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $1,333,754,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $42,017,000, or 5.38%, and average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $4,043,000, or 0.73%, for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company’s ratio of average non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits was 43.01% for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to 41.48% for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased by $2,981,000 to $13,305,000, compared to $10,324,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily driven by an increase of $3,885,000 in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, and an increase in loan placement fees of $270,000, partially offset by decrease in gain on sale of credit card portfolio of $462,000, a decrease in service charge income of $230,000, and a decrease of $364,000 in other income.

Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased $1,032,000, or 2.29%, to $46,100,000 compared to $45,068,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The net increase year over year resulted from increases in information technology of $1,498,000, salaries and employee benefits of $433,000, amortization of core deposit intangible of $240,000, directors’ expenses of $245,000, and telephone expenses of $125,000, offset by decreases in occupancy and equipment expenses of $533,000, regulatory assessments of $368,000, acquisition and integration expenses of $217,000, professional services of $170,000, and operating losses of $350,000 in 2019 compared to 2018. The increase in the information technology expenses was a result of the Company outsourcing its network maintenance and IT support during the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase in the salaries and employee benefits as well as the directors’ expenses was primarily related to the change in the interest and discount rate used to calculate the liability for salary continuation, deferred compensation and split dollar plans which amounted to $1,720,000. There was a decrease in salaries and benefits excluding the salary continuation interest of $1,044,000. The decrease in regulatory assessments was the result of the Company receiving a portion of its small-bank assessment credit. The FDIC automatically applies small-bank assessment credits to offset regular deposit insurance assessments for assessment periods where the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) reserve ratio is at or above 1.38 percent.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $8,509,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $6,620,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2019 was 28.41% compared to 23.72% for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in the effective rate was a result of a decrease in tax-exempt interest.

Quarter Ended December 31, 2019

For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Company reported unaudited consolidated net income of $4,448,000 and earnings per diluted common share of $0.34, compared to consolidated net income of $5,281,000 and $0.38 per diluted share for the same period in 2018. The decrease in net income during the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily due to an increase in provision for credit losses of $500,000, a decrease in net interest income of $186,000, a decrease in non-interest income of $395,000, and an increase in the provision for income taxes of $32,000, partially offset by a decrease in total non-interest expenses of $280,000. The effective tax rate increased to 27.86% from 24.20% for the quarters ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Net income for the immediately trailing quarter ended September 30, 2019 was $5,691,000, or $0.42 per diluted common share.

Annualized return on average equity (ROE) for the fourth quarter of 2019 was 7.71%, compared to 9.82% for the same period of 2018. The decrease in ROE reflects a decrease in net income, coupled with an increase in shareholders’ equity. Annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 1.12% for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to 1.37% for the same period in 2018. This decrease is due to a decrease in net income and an increase in average assets.

In comparing the fourth quarter of 2019 to the fourth quarter of 2018, average total loans increased by $16,327,000, or 1.79%. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company recorded net loan charge-offs of $865,000 compared to $79,000 net loan recoveries for the same period in 2018. The net charge-off (recovery) ratio, which reflects annualized net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans, was 0.37% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to (0.03)% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018.

Average total deposits for the fourth quarter of 2019 increased $15,532,000 or 1.19% to $1,315,328,000 compared to $1,299,796,000 for the same period of 2018.

The accretion of the loan marks on acquired loans increased interest income by $239,000 and $252,000 during the quarters ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net interest income during the fourth quarters of 2019 and 2018 benefited by approximately $186,000 and $142,000, respectively, from prepayment penalties and payoff of loans previously on nonaccrual status. The net interest margin period-to-period comparisons were impacted by the increase in the yield on total interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the decrease in the yield on the average investment securities and decrease in the yield on the loan portfolio. Over the same periods, the cost of total deposits increased to 0.15% from 0.10%.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Company’s average investment securities, including interest-earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, increased by $5,340,000, or 1.08%, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2018, and increased by $13,217,000, or 2.72%, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

The net decrease in salaries and employee benefits was representative of a decrease in the amount of $502,000 in salaries and benefits offset by an increase of $438,000 in the interest on salary continuation plans.

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $404,000 compared to $11,534,000 for the trailing quarter ended September 30, 2019. The decrease compared to the trailing quarter was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $210,000, a decrease in occupancy and equipment expense of $126,000, and a non-recurring $121,000 decrease in telephone expenses, partially offset by an increase in regulatory assessments of $103,000, and a $11,000 increase in other non-interest expenses. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $210,000 was the result of decreased salaries, benefits, and interest on deferred compensation plans as a result of the change in the discount rate used to calculate the liability.
