Net Earnings and Returns
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $1.7 million or $0.22 per diluted common share, compared to $1.1 million or $0.16 per diluted common share for the same period in 2017. Returns on average assets and common equity for the current quarter were 1.07% and 7.66% compared to 0.97% and 5.56% in 2017, respectively. Excluding the one-time compensation related charge for the recent passing of our Executive Chairman totaling $859 thousand after tax, net income increased to $2.5 million or $0.33 per diluted common share, representing a 122.7% increase from the prior year quarter. Returns on average assets and common equity were 1.62% and 11.57% for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 excluding the compensation charge. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $5.9 million or $0.76 per diluted common share, compared to $3.0 million or $0.51 per diluted common share for 2017. Returns on average assets and common equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were 1.35% and 9.19% compared to 0.91% and 6.38% in 2017, respectively. Excluding the compensation charge, net income increased to $6.7 million or $0.87 per diluted common share, representing a 125.3% increase when compared to the nine months ended 2017.
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2018 increased $2.1 million, or 39.2%, to $7.3 million, primarily due to growth in average interest earning assets totaling $149.8 million, or 32.7%, to $607.4 million when compared to 2017. Our net interest margin increased to 4.75% for the third quarter of 2018 compared to 4.53% in 2017 due to the positive effects of increases in short-term interest rates coupled with the composition of our interest earning assets. Average loans in the quarter increased $101.0 million or 32.1%, to $416.0 million and average securities increased $49.5 million, or 45.7%, to $157.6 million when compared to the third quarter of 2017. Loan growth was primarily driven by commercial and commercial real estate loans while management also took advantage of increases in short-term interest rates, deploying excess funds into the investment portfolio. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net interest income increased $5.9 million, or 41.5%, to $20.0 million, primarily due to growth in average interest earning assets totaling $138.4 million, or 32.0%, to $570.7 million when compared to the nine months ended 2017. The Company's net interest margin increased to 4.69% for the nine months ended 2018 compared to 4.37% in 2017. Average loans for the nine months ended 2018 increased $86.2 million, or 29.2%, to $380.9 million and average securities increased $45.8 million, or 44.1%, to $149.6 million when compared to the nine months ended 2017. Increases in loans for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018 represent organic growth funded with low cost core deposits.
The provision for loan losses was $450 thousand for the third quarter of 2018, $175 thousand higher than the comparable period in 2017 and $975 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, $250 thousand higher than for the same period in 2017. The higher provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 is reflective of growth in the loan portfolio. As of September 30, 2018, Esquire had no delinquent loans and no non-performing assets.
Non-interest income increased $455 thousand, or 33.8%, to $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2018, and increased $1.9 million, or 49.8%, to $5.9 million for the nine months ended 2018, primarily due to the increases in merchant processing income. The increases in merchant processing income were a result of growth in our monthly processing volumes and merchants. Other non-interest income is primarily comprised of off-balance sheet administrative service payments, which is impacted by both the volume of off-balance sheet funds and short-term interest rates.
Non-interest expense increased $1.9 million to $6.3 million in the third quarter of 2018 and increased $4.3 million to $16.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. These increases were primarily driven by increases in employee compensation and benefits costs, professional and consulting services and other operating expenses. The increase in compensation and benefits costs was due to the previously mentioned $1.2 million one-time compensation charge, hiring to support our future growth and technology efforts, and salary and incentive increases. The increase in professional and consulting services as well as other expenses was due primarily to additional costs related to being a public company and costs related to certain strategic projects. The Company's efficiency ratio continued to improve to 56.8% and 60.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
The effective tax rate on a year to date basis and for the third quarter of 2018 was 26.8%.
Balance Sheet
At September 30, 2018, total assets were $645.6 million, reflecting a $164.8 million, or 34.3% increase from September 30, 2017. This increase is primarily attributable to increases in loans totaling $109.2 million, or 33.2%, to $437.9 million and increases in securities totaling $39.7 million, or 36.8%, to $147.5 million at September 30, 2018. Loan growth was primarily driven by commercial and commercial real estate loans while management also took advantage of increases in short-term interest rates, deploying excess funds into the investment portfolio. The growth in loans and securities was funded with low cost core deposits. The allowance for loan losses was $5.2 million, or 1.19% of total loans, as compared to $4.1 million, or 1.24% of total loans, at September 30, 2017.
Total deposits were $552.2 million at September 30, 2018, a $157.3 million, or 39.8% increase from September 30, 2017. This was primarily due to a $100.7 million, or 43.5% increase in Savings, NOW and Money Market deposits to $332.0 million and a $53.8 million, or 39.5% increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits to $190.0 million.
Stockholders' equity increased $5.2 million to $88.5 million at September 30, 2018 compared to September 30, 2017. Esquire Bank remains well above bank regulatory "Well Capitalized" standards.
With excess capital as a foundation, the Company anticipates continued earnings growth in 2018 driven by its lending pipelines as well as its merchant services fee income opportunities.
