"We had a solid first quarter as we continued to drive results through consistent execution and delivery for our clients," said Larry D.

"We generated solid loan origination activity, deposit growth and cross-sell opportunities and benefited from a full quarter's impact of the December rate rise. Asset quality remains strong and our portfolio is performing well as we would expect at this point in the cycle. Our first quarter results were a good start to the year. We are positioned well as we continue adding new relationships and expanding what we do for existing clients to build long-term value for our shareholders."
First Quarter 2016 Highlights
-- Total loans grew to $13.5 billion, up $1.3 billion from a year ago and $191.2 million from December 31, 2015. -- Total deposits were $14.5 billion, increasing $363.1 million from a year ago and $119.3 million from December 31, 2015. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits grew 10 percent from a year ago, representing 30 percent of total deposits at March 31, 2016, comparable to December 31, 2015. -- Net interest margin was 3.30 percent, up from 3.21 percent for the first quarter 2015 and 3.25 percent for the fourth quarter 2015. The current quarter reflected the benefit from the fourth quarter's rise in short-term interest rates. -- Operating profit of $83.8 million for the first quarter 2016 increased 14 percent from the first quarter 2015, benefiting from continued growth in earning assets and higher short-term rates. Compared to the fourth quarter 2015, operating profit declined 4 percent, as the current quarter included seasonally higher employee expense. -- The provision for loan and covered loan losses was $6.4 million for the first quarter 2016, compared to $5.6 million for the first quarter 2015 and $2.8 million for the fourth quarter 2015. -- Return on average assets was 1.15 percent and return on average common equity was 11.4 percent for the first quarter 2016.
Operating Performance
Net interest income grew to $139.5 million in the first quarter 2016, increasing 14 percent from the first quarter 2015 and 2 percent from the fourth quarter 2015. The December 2015 interest rate increase and growth in average loans of 11 percent from the first quarter 2015 and 1 percent from the fourth quarter 2015 positively benefited net interest income.
Net interest margin was 3.30 percent in the first quarter 2016, up nine basis points from a year ago and five basis points from the fourth quarter 2015. Loan yields were 10 basis points higher on a sequential basis, largely reflecting variable loans repricing to higher short-term rates, while loan fees moderated from fourth quarter's levels. Deposit costs increased by three basis points compared to the fourth quarter 2015, primarily impacted by the repricing of deposits indexed to the federal funds rate.
Noninterest income was $33.6 million in the first quarter 2016, comparable to the first quarter 2015 and increasing 3 percent from the fourth quarter 2015. First quarter 2015 included a $4.1 million gain on a branch sale. Treasury management fees were $8.2 million in the first quarter 2016, up 12 percent from the first quarter 2015 and 4 percent from the fourth quarter 2015, primarily reflecting the onboarding of new commercial clients. Syndication fees were $5.4 million in the first quarter 2016, up from $2.6 million in the first quarter 2015 and $4.8 million in the fourth quarter 2015. Syndication fees vary from quarter to quarter depending on the level and mix of loans originated and distributed as well as market conditions.
Capital markets revenue for the first quarter 2016 reflected a negative credit valuation adjustment (CVA) of $1.9 million, compared to a positive CVA of $1.0 million for the fourth quarter 2015. Excluding the CVA impact for all periods, capital markets revenue was $7.1 million in the first quarter 2016, increasing $1.8 million from the fourth quarter 2015. Activity was influenced by the rise in short-term rates and some clients taking advantage of attractive market opportunities to purchase interest rate derivatives.
Asset management revenue was $4.7 million in the first quarter 2016, compared to $4.4 million for the first quarter 2015 and the fourth quarter 2015. Assets under management and administration (AUMA) were $9.6 billion as of March 31, 2016, compared to $7.3 billion a year ago and at December 31, 2015. The increase in AUMA largely reflects the addition of a sizable custodial account during the first quarter 2016.
Expenses
Noninterest expense was $90.5 million for the first quarter 2016, increasing 9 percent from the first quarter 2015 and the fourth quarter 2015. The efficiency ratio was 51.9 percent for the first quarter 2016, compared to 53.1 percent for the first quarter 2015 and 48.7 percent for the fourth quarter 2015.
First quarter 2016 salaries and benefits expense increased $5.7 million compared to the fourth quarter 2015, primarily related to seasonally higher payroll taxes and benefits attributable to incentive compensation payments. Compared to the first quarter 2015, compensation expense increased $6.0 million, largely reflecting additional hires made over the last year and annual salary adjustments. Other expenses includes the provision for unfunded commitments, which was $595,000 for the first quarter 2016, compared to a release of reserves of $3.5 million for fourth quarter 2015, largely attributable to an individual credit reserved for in third quarter 2015.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter 2016 was 35.0 percent, compared to 37.8 percent for the first quarter 2015 and 37.5 percent for the fourth quarter 2015. The lower tax rate in the first quarter 2016 was primarily attributable to net tax benefits of $1.5 million, largely related to the adoption of a new accounting standard regarding income taxes associated with share-based compensation.
Credit Quality
The allowance for loan losses was $165.4 million, or 1.23 percent of total loans, at March 31, 2016, compared to $160.7 million, or 1.21 percent of total loans, at December 31, 2015. The provision for loan losses was $6.4 million for the first quarter 2016, increasing $945,000 from the first quarter 2015 and $3.5 million from the fourth quarter 2015. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans were 0.05 percent for the first quarter 2016, comparable to the first quarter 2015 and 0.15 percent for the fourth quarter 2015.
Nonperforming assets were 0.42 percent of total assets at March 31, 2016, compared to 0.35 percent at December 31, 2015. At March 31, 2016, nonperforming loans were $59.1 million, increasing $5.3 million from December 31, 2015. OREO increased $7.5 million to $14.8 million at March 31, 2016.
Balance Sheet
Total assets were $17.7 billion at March 31, 2016, compared to $16.4 billion at March 31, 2015, and $17.3 billion at December 31, 2015. Total loans of $13.5 billion increased $1.3 billion from March 31, 2015, and $191.2 million from December 31, 2015. Loan growth for the first quarter 2016 included loans to new clients of $396.6 million, offset in part by higher-than-average payoffs and lower revolver usage. At March 31, 2016, commercial loans represented 65 percent of total loans, and commercial real estate and construction loans represented 29 percent of total loans, consistent with December 31, 2015.
Total liabilities were $15.9 billion at March 31, 2016, compared to $14.8 billion at March 31, 2015, and $15.6 billion at December 31, 2015.
