Diluted earnings per share were $0.76 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $0.64 for the same period of 2018. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 produced an annualized ROAE of 11.26%, ROATCE of 18.78% and a ROAA of 1.89%.

Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $111.1 million for the quarter, which was a $1.5 million, or 1.39%, increase from the first quarter of 2019, and a $38.4 million, or 52.79%, increase over the second quarter of 2018. Total interest income and fees on loans for the second quarter of 2019 of $101.8 million increased $2.2 million, or 2.16%, from the first quarter of 2019, and increased $44.5 million, or 77.53%, from the second quarter of 2018.

Interest expense was relatively unchanged over the prior quarter and increased $3.6 million over the second quarter of 2018.

During the second quarter of 2019, $2.0 million of provision for loan losses was recorded, compared to $1.5 million of provision for loan losses for the prior quarter. Conversely, we recaptured $1.0 million of loan loss provision for the second quarter last year.

Noninterest income was $18.2 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared with $16.3 million for the first quarter of 2019 and $9.7 million for the second quarter of 2018. $5.7 million of second quarter 2019 noninterest income was derived from the legal settlement of an eminent domain condemnation of one of our banking center buildings located in Bakersfield. We have since moved that banking center to another site approximately 0.5 miles away. Similar to the second quarter, the first quarter of 2019 included a $4.5 million net gain on the sale of one of our bank owned buildings.

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2019 was $50.5 million, compared to $51.6 million for the first quarter of 2019 and $34.3 million for the second quarter of 2018. The $1.1 million quarter-over-quarter decrease included a $537,000 decrease in merger related expenses and a $440,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits. The $16.3 million increase in noninterest expense over the second quarter of 2018 included a $7.8 million increase in salary and benefit expense principally due to additional compensation for the former CB employees who were retained. When compared to the second quarter of 2018, amortization of core deposit intangible (“CDI”) increased by $2.5 million as a result of core deposits assumed from CB. Occupancy and equipment expense increased by $1.3 million due to the banking centers acquired from CB. The second quarter of 2019 also included $2.6 million in merger related expenses mostly due to the consolidation of four banking centers. This compares to $494,000 in merger related expenses for the same period of 2018. As a percentage of average assets, noninterest expense was 1.81%, compared to 1.83% for the first quarter of 2019 and 1.68% for the second quarter of 2018.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, was $111.1 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $109.5 million for the first quarter of 2019 and $72.7 million for the second quarter of 2018. Our net interest margin (tax equivalent) was 4.49% for the second quarter of 2019, compared to 4.39% for the first quarter of 2019 and 3.82% for the second quarter of 2018. Total average earning asset yields (tax equivalent) were 4.72% for the second quarter of 2019, compared to 4.62% for the first quarter of 2019 and 3.93% for the second quarter of 2018. The increase in earning asset yield from the prior quarter was primarily due to a 13 basis point increase in average loan yields. The growth in earning asset yield compared to the second quarter of 2018 was a combination of the growth in loan yields from 4.81% to 5.40% and a change in asset mix with average loans growing to 75.9% of earning assets for the second quarter of 2019, compared to 62.1% for the second quarter of 2018. Discount accretion increased by $815,000 quarter-over-quarter and non-accrued interest paid increased by $1.4 million. As a result of the acquisition of CB, discount accretion increased by $6.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2018. The tax equivalent yield on investments decreased three basis points from the first quarter of 2019, but increased by six basis points from the second quarter of 2018. Second quarter average loans declined by $104.1 million, while loans grew by $2.78 billion on average compared to the second quarter of 2018. Investment securities declined on average by $74.2 million from the first quarter and by $397.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2018. Total cost of funds of 0.25% remained unchanged from the first quarter of 2019, compared to 0.12% for the second quarter of 2018. The increase in cost of funds compared to the second quarter of 2018, was due to a nine basis point increase in cost of deposits and customer repurchases and $130.2 million of growth in average overnight borrowings at an average cost of 2.56%. Compared to the prior quarter, interest-bearing deposits and customer repurchase agreements declined on average by $214.0 million. In comparison to the second quarter of 2018, average interest-bearing deposits and customer repurchase agreements increased by $910.3 million.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was 29%, compared with 28% for the same periods of 2018. Our estimated annual effective tax rate varies depending upon the level of tax-advantaged income as well as available tax credits.

Assets

The Company reported total assets of $11.17 billion at June 30, 2019. This represented a decrease of $357.6 million, or 3.10%, from total assets of $11.53 billion at December 31, 2018. Interest-earning assets of $9.89 billion at June 30, 2019 decreased $395.0 million, or 3.84%, when compared with $10.29 billion at December 31, 2018. The decrease in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $228.9 million decrease in total loans and a $150.4 million decrease in investment securities.

Total assets of $11.17 billion at June 30, 2019 increased $3.08 billion, or 38.03%, from total assets of $8.09 billion at June 30, 2018. Interest-earning assets totaled $9.89 billion at June 30, 2019, an increase of $2.29 billion, or 30.07%, when compared with earning assets of $7.61 billion at June 30, 2018. The increase in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $2.72 billion increase in total loans, partially offset by a $374.3 million decrease in investment securities. The increase in total loans included $2.74 billion of loans acquired from CB in the third quarter of 2018.

On August 10, 2018, we completed the acquisition of CB with approximately $4.09 billion in total assets and 16 banking centers. The acquisition included $2.74 billion of loans, $717.0 million of investment securities, and $70.9 million in bank-owned life insurance. The acquisition also resulted in $547.1 million of goodwill and $52.2 million in core deposit premium. At the close of the merger, the entire CB investment portfolio was liquidated at fair market value, as was $297.6 million of FHLB term advances and $166.0 million of overnight borrowings from CB. Net cash proceeds were partially used to fund the $180.7 million in cash paid to the former shareholders of CB as part of the merger consideration.

Investment Securities

Total investment securities were $2.33 billion at June 30, 2019, a decrease of $150.4 million, or 6.07%, from $2.48 billion at December 31, 2018 and a decrease of $374.3 million, or 13.85%, from $2.70 billion at June 30, 2018. The decrease in investment securities was due to minimal reinvestment of cash flows generated from principal payments on the security portfolio.

At June 30, 2019, investment securities held-to-maturity (“HTM”) totaled $728.1 million, a $16.3 million decrease, or 2.19%, from December 31, 2018 and a $44.4 million decrease, or 5.74%, from June 30, 2018.

At June 30, 2019 investment securities available-for-sale (“AFS”) totaled $1.60 billion, inclusive of a pre-tax net unrealized gain of $15.3 million. AFS securities declined by $134.1 million, or 7.73%, from December 31, 2018, and declined by $330.0 million, or 17.10%, from June 30, 2018.

Combined, the AFS and HTM investments in mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) totaled $1.94 billion at June 30, 2019, compared to $2.06 billion at December 31, 2018 and $2.26 billion at June 30, 2018. Virtually all of our MBS and CMOs are issued or guaranteed by government or government sponsored enterprises, which have the implied guarantee of the U.S. Government.

Our combined AFS and HTM municipal securities totaled $254.4 million as of June 30, 2019. These securities are located in 28 states. Our largest concentrations of holdings are located in Minnesota at 24.15%, Massachusetts at 12.33%, Texas at 10.57%, Connecticut at 6.85%, and Wisconsin at 5.31%.

Loans

Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discounts, of $7.54 billion at June 30, 2019 decreased by $71.2 million, or 0.94%, from March 31, 2019. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in loans was due to declines of $39.8 million in commercial and industrial loans, $20.6 million in dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans, and $11.6 million in Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans. The decrease in loans and leases were partially offset by an increase of $15.3 million in commercial real estate loans. The decrease in loans was primarily due to loan payoffs from the former CB loan portfolio.

Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discounts, of $7.54 billion at June 30, 2019 decreased by $228.9 million, or 2.95%, from December 31, 2018. The decrease in total loans included a $94.8 million decline in dairy & livestock loans primarily due to seasonal pay downs, which historically occur in the first quarter of each calendar year. Excluding dairy and livestock loans, total loans declined by $134.1 million, or 1.81%. The decrease in total loans included declines of $84.8 million in commercial and industrial loans, $23.7 million in SBA loans, and $18.4 million in SFR mortgage loans.

Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discounts, of $7.54 billion at June 30, 2019 increased by $2.72 billion, or 56.44%, from June 30, 2018. Excluding the $2.74 billion of acquired CB loans, total loans decreased by $19.4 million, or 0.40%, from June 30, 2018. Commercial and industrial loans decreased by $130.9 million, SBA loans decreased by $31.4 million, and SFR mortgage loans decreased by $21.4 million. This decline was partially offset by an increase of $164.8 million in commercial real estate loans.

Deposits & Customer Repurchase Agreements

Deposits of $8.66 billion and customer repurchase agreements of $421.3 million totaled $9.08 billion at June 30, 2019. This represents a decrease of $185.7 million, or 2.00%, when compared with total deposits and customer repurchase agreements of $9.27 billion at December 31, 2018. Deposits and customer repurchase agreements increased by $2.16 billion, or 31.29%, when compared with total deposits and customer repurchase agreements of $6.92 billion at June 30, 2018.

Noninterest-bearing deposits were $5.25 billion at June 30, 2019, an increase of $45.4 million, or 0.87%, when compared to December 31, 2018, and an increase of $1.27 billion, or 31.89%, when compared to $3.98 billion at June 30, 2018. At June 30, 2019, noninterest-bearing deposits were 60.61% of total deposits, compared to 58.96% at December 31, 2018, and 60.91% at June 30, 2018.

Our average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased from 0.43% in the first quarter of 2019 to 0.47% in the second quarter of 2019. However, the average cost of total deposits only increased from 0.18% to 0.19%, as average noninterest-bearing deposits grew from 58.20% of average total deposits in the prior quarter to 59.14% in the current quarter. Our average cost of total deposits including customer repurchase agreements was 0.20% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, unchanged from the prior quarter, and 0.11% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

FHLB Advance, Other Borrowings and Debentures

At June 30, 2019, we had no short-term borrowings compared to $280.0 million at December 31, 2018, and zero at June 30, 2018.

At June 30, 2019, we had $25.8 million of junior subordinated debentures, unchanged from December 31, 2018. These debentures bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 1.38% and mature in 2036.

Asset Quality

The allowance for loan losses totaled $67.1 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $63.6 million at December 31, 2018 and $59.6 million at June 30, 2018. The allowance for loan losses for the second quarter of 2019 was increased by $2.0 million in provision for loan losses and reduced by net charge-offs on loans of $69,000. The increase in the allowance was primarily due to growth in non-acquired loans. The allowance for loan losses was 0.89%, 0.86%, 0.82%, and 1.24% of total loans and leases outstanding, at June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018, and June 30, 2018, respectively. The lower ratio depicted in the most recent three quarter numbers was materially impacted by the $2.74 billion in loans acquired from CB that are recorded at fair market value, without a corresponding loan loss allowance. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-acquired loans was 1.36% at June 30, 2019, compared to 1.35% at March 31, 2019, 1.32% at December 31, 2018 and 1.36% at June 30, 2018.

Nonperforming loans, defined as nonaccrual loans plus nonperforming TDR loans, were $11.3 million at June 30, 2019, or 0.15% of total loans. Total nonperforming loans at June 30, 2019 included $8.4 million of nonperforming loans acquired from CB in the third quarter of 2018.

As of June 30, 2019, we had $2.3 million in OREO compared to $420,000 at December 31, 2018. During the first quarter of 2019, we sold one OREO property. There was one addition to OREO for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

As a percentage of total loans, delinquencies, excluding nonaccruals, were 0.004% at June 30, 2019, 0.07% at December 31, 2018, and 0.001% at June 30, 2018.

As a percentage of total assets, nonperforming assets were 0.12% at June 30, 2019, 0.18% at December 31, 2018, and 0.13% at June 30, 2018.

Classified loans are loans that are graded “substandard” or worse. At June 30, 2019, classified loans totaled $49.4 million, compared to $51.1 million at December 31, 2018 and $40.0 million at June 30, 2018.
