NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased $2.1 million to $52.4 million during the third quarter of 2016 from the quarter ended June 30, 2016, largely as a result of loan growth, a $0.7 million increase in accretion related to acquired loans, and a $0.3 million increase in prepayment fees on loans.

Non-interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 decreased $0.1 million to $5.3 million from $5.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, primarily driven by a decrease of $0.4 million in loan level derivative income offset by an increase of $0.1 million in deposit fees and an increase of $0.2 million in gain on sales of loans and leases held-for-sale.

    (1) Tax-exempt income on debt securities, equity securities and revenue bonds included in commercial real estate loans is included on a tax-equivalent basis.

    (2) Average balances include unrealized gains (losses) on investment securities. Dividend payments may not be consistent and average yield on equity securities may vary from month to month.

    (3) Loans on nonaccrual status are included in the average balances.

    (4) Interest rate spread represents the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

    (5) Net interest margin represents net interest income (tax-equivalent basis) divided by average interest-earning assets.

    (1) Tax-exempt income on debt securities, equity securities and revenue bonds included in commercial real estate loans is included on a tax-equivalent basis.

    (2) Average balances include unrealized gains (losses) on investment securities. Dividend payments may not be consistent and average yield on equity securities may vary from month to month.

    (3) Loans on nonaccrual status are included in the average balances.

    (4) Interest rate spread represents the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

    (5) Net interest margin represents net interest income (tax-equivalent basis) divided by average interest-earning assets.
