Net Income
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was $1.3 million or $0.19 diluted earnings per share compared to net income of $0.3 million or $0.04 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2013. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $3.4 million or $0.51 diluted earnings per share compared to net income of $1.9 million or $0.30 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2013, an increase of 72%.
The increase in net income for both the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was due to higher net interest income associated with loan growth and lower provision for loan losses as well as increased fees from service charges and a rise in servicing and other income. These increases were partially offset by higher non-interest expenses in all categories except advertising.
On a linked quarter basis, net income increased $0.3 million or 28% for the third quarter of 2014. The increase in net income on a linked quarter basis was due to higher net interest income attributable to loan growth and an increase in gains from the sale of SBA loans. Non-interest expense increased slightly when compared to the linked quarter.
Net Interest Income
For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, net interest income increased $1.1 million or 16% to $7.8 million compared to $6.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The net interest margin decreased by 19 basis points to 3.54% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 from 3.73% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net interest income increased $3.4 million or 17% to $22.8 million compared to $19.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The net interest margin decreased by 12 basis points to 3.66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from 3.78% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
The increase in net interest income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to continued growth in our commercial and residential loan portfolios and higher non-interest bearing demand deposits.
The decrease in the net interest margin from comparable periods in the prior year was due to: 1) new loan originations carrying lower yields and 2) the cost of average interest bearing liabilities increasing 2 basis points to 0.76% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 from 0.74% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The increase in the cost of funds was mostly attributable to growth in longer duration certificates of deposit during the third quarter and the year. The Bank increased the duration on a portion of its certificates of deposits to hedge against higher interest rates. If interest rates continue to remain low, we expect to face a continued narrowing of our net interest margin as competition from other financial institutions put pressure on loan yields.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income increased $0.1 million or 12% to $1.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1.0 million for the prior year period. The increase in non-interest income was mostly attributable to increased fees from service charges and loan servicing and additional BOLI income.
Non-interest income increased $0.2 million or 6.2% to $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was due to higher service charge fee income and servicing and other income, which were partially offset by lower gains from the sale of SBA loans and lower BOLI income.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased $0.7 million or 13% to $6.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to $5.4 million for the same period in 2013. The increase was attributable to higher compensation and occupancy costs associated with (1) additional personnel in credit administration, operations and compliance; (2) additional branch personnel for our Hewlett branch, which opened in September 2013 and (3) higher depreciation expense related to our new corporate headquarters and branch location. Other expenses increased approximately $0.1 million or 11% to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was mostly attributable to higher data and item processing costs, compliance costs and FDIC assessments.
Balance Sheet
Total assets grew to $945.0 million at September 30, 2014, an increase of $147.7 million or 19% when compared to total assets of $797.3 million at September 30, 2013. Total loans increased $134.2 million or 22% to $749.8 million at September 30, 2014 when compared to September 30, 2013. The commercial loan portfolio increased $95.8 million or 22% when compared to September 30, 2013 and the residential loan portfolio increased $38.4 million or 21% when compared to September 30, 2013. Loans were funded primarily by the growth in deposits.
Total deposits increased $133.1 million or 19% to $826.1 million at September 30, 2014 from $693.0 million at September 30, 2013. Demand deposits grew $42.6 million or 23% to $224.3 million at September 30, 2014 when compared to September 30, 2013. The increase was due primarily to additional commercial business relationships. Demand deposits represented 27% of total deposits at September 30, 2014. NOW, savings and money market deposits increased $43.0 million or 14% to $359.2 million at September 30, 2014 from $316.2 million at September 30, 2013. A significant portion of the money market deposit growth was from new and existing municipal banking relationships.
Asset Quality & Capital
Non-performing loans, which consist of loans past due 90 days or more, were $1.9 million or 0.26% of total loans at September 30, 2014 compared to $1.5 million or 0.25% of total loans at September 30, 2013.
