Net earnings grew by $4.6 million over the prior quarter, or 11.93%, and $12.1 million from the fourth quarter of 2017, or 38.96%, when the impact of the DTA revaluation is excluded.

On August 10, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Community Bank (“CB”). Our financial statements for the year ended 2018 include 143 days of CB operations, post-merger. At close, Citizens Business Bank acquired $2.73 billion of loans. We also assumed $1.26 billion of noninterest-bearing deposits and $2.87 billion of total deposits.

Chris Myers, President and CEO of Citizens Business Bank, commented, “The Bank had a fantastic year, and I am very pleased with how well we are positioned for the existing interest rate environment.

Noninterest expense of $179.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $39.2 million higher than the prior year. The increase was primarily due to increases of $14.2 million in merger related expenses, $13.5 million in salaries and employee benefits, $4.1 million in occupancy and equipment, $3.9 million in amortization of CDI, and $2.3 million in software licenses and maintenance.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, was $113.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $92.8 million for the third quarter of 2018 and $71.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2017. Our net interest margin (tax equivalent) was 4.40% for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to 4.06% for the third quarter of 2018 and 3.68% for the fourth quarter of 2017. Total average earning asset yields (tax equivalent) were 4.58% for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to 4.23% for the third quarter of 2018 and 3.79% for the fourth quarter of 2017. Total cost of funds increased to 0.19% for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to 0.18% for the third quarter of 2018 and 0.11% for the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase in the net interest margin from both the prior quarter and prior year was the result of higher loan yields and a change in asset mix with average loans growing to 74.8% of earning assets for the fourth quarter, compared to 69.6% for the third quarter and 60.9% for the fourth quarter of 2017. Fourth quarter average loans grew by $1.32 billion and loan yields grew by 23 basis points compared to the third quarter. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, loans grew by $2.91 billion on average and loan yields expanded from 4.66% to 5.22%. As a result of the CB merger, discount accretion on acquired loans increased for the fourth quarter. Discount accretion and nonaccrual interest paid increased by $3.7 million compared to the third quarter and by $5.8 million in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2017.

Net interest income before provision for loan losses totaled $349.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $278.9 million for 2017. Our net interest margin (tax equivalent) was 4.03% for 2018, compared to 3.63% for 2017. Total average earning asset yields (tax equivalent) was 4.17%, compared to 3.74% for 2017. The increase in the net interest margin over 2017 was the result of an increase in our earning asset yield, which includes a 34 basis point increase in loan yields. The earning asset yield was further enhanced by the change in mix of earning assets as average loans represented 67.7% of earning assets in 2018 versus 59.3% for 2017.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018 was 28%, compared with 64.51% and 44.70% for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2017, respectively. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Reform Act was enacted into law. Beginning in 2018, the Tax Reform Act reduced the federal tax rate for corporations from 35% to 21% and changes or limits certain tax deductions. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a one-time charge against earnings of $13.2 million as a result of the tax rate reduction and re-measurement of its net deferred tax assets.

Assets

The Company reported total assets of $11.53 billion at December 31, 2018. This represented an increase of $48.8 million, or 0.43%, from total assets of $11.48 billion at September 30, 2018. Interest-earning assets of $10.29 billion at December 31, 2018 increased $93.8 million, or 0.92%, when compared with $10.19 billion at September 30, 2018. The increase in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $182.2 million increase in total loans. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $86.7 million in investment securities.

Total assets of $11.53 billion at December 31, 2018 increased $3.26 billion, or 39.40%, from total assets of $8.27 billion at December 31, 2017. Interest-earning assets totaled $10.29 billion at December 31, 2018, an increase of $2.49 billion, or 31.87%, when compared with earning assets of $7.80 billion at December 31, 2017. The increase in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $2.93 billion increase in total loans, partially offset by a $432.4 million decrease in investment securities. The increase in total loans included $2.73 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 $2.73 billion of loans, $717.0 million of investment securities, and $70.9 million in bank-owned life insurance. The acquisition also resulted in $550.0 million of goodwill and $52.2 million in core deposit premium. At the close of the merger, the entire CB security 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 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 $2.48 billion at December 31, 2018, a decrease of $86.7 million, or 3.38%, from $2.57 billion at September 30, 2018 and a decrease of $432.4 million, or 14.85%, from $2.91 billion at December 31, 2017. The decrease in investment securities was due to minimal reinvestment of cash flows generated from principal payments on the security portfolio.

The increase in total loans was principally due to growth of $124.9 million in commercial real estate loans and $89.7 million in dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans. The majority of growth in dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans is seasonal. The overall increase in loans and leases were partially offset by decreases of $19.6 million in commercial and industrial loans, $7.0 million in Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans, and $6.4 million in consumer and other loans.

Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discounts, of $7.76 billion at December 31, 2018 increased by $2.93 billion, or 60.74%, from December 31, 2017.

Reconciliations of Adjusted Efficiency Ratio and Noninterest Expense to Average Assets Ratio

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding our performance. Noninterest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 included acquisition related expenses of $8.5 million and $75,000, respectively. Noninterest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 included acquisition related expenses of $16.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively. We believe that presenting the efficiency ratio and noninterest expense to average assets ratio, excluding acquisition expenses, provides additional clarity to the users of financial statements regarding core net income.

Tax Reform and Effect of Tax Rate Change Reconciliations (Non-GAAP)

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding our performance. Income tax expense for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017 included a one-time charge of $13.2 million as a result of the December 22, 2017 enactment of the Tax Reform Act. We believe that presenting the effective tax rate, earnings, ROAA, ROAE, and earnings per common share, excluding the impact of the re-measurement of our net deferred tax asset, provides additional clarity to the users of financial statements regarding core financial performance.

Reconciliations of Adjusted Yield on Average Loans, Yield on Average Earning Assets and NIM    

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding our performance. Net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 included a yield adjustment of $8.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively. Net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 included a yield adjustment of $18.6 million and $7.4 million, respectively. These yield adjustments relate to discount accretion on acquired loans and nonrecurring nonaccrual interest paid, and are reflected in the Company’s net interest margin. We believe that presenting net interest income and the net interest margin excluding these yield adjustments provides additional clarity to the users of financial statements regarding core net interest income and net interest margin.
