Diluted earnings per share were $0.37 for the first quarter, compared to $0.31 for the prior quarter and $0.32 for the same period last year.

Chris Myers, President and CEO of Citizens Business Bank, commented “Our results this quarter demonstrate the earnings power of our merger with Community Bank, as reflected in the strength of our return on average assets of 1.84% and our return on average tangible capital of 18.75%. The consolidation of banking centers, post-merger, is on schedule and should be completed by the end of the second quarter.”

Net income of $51.6 million for the first quarter of 2019 produced an annualized return on average equity (“ROAE”) of 11.14% and an annualized return on average tangible common equity (“ROATCE”) of 18.75%. ROAE and ROATCE for the fourth quarter of 2018 were 9.29% and 15.93%, respectively, and the first quarter of 2018 produced an ROAE and ROATCE of 13.02% and 14.79%, respectively. Annualized return on average assets (“ROAA”) was 1.84% for the first quarter, compared to 1.49% for the fourth quarter of 2018 and 1.71% for the first quarter of 2018.

Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $109.5 million for the quarter, which was a $3.5 million, or 3.08%, decrease from the fourth quarter of 2018, and a $39.0 million, or 55.32%, increase over the first quarter of 2018. Total interest income and fees on loans for the first quarter of 2019 of $99.7 million decreased $1.2 million, or 1.20%, from the fourth quarter of 2018, and increased $44.5 million, or 80.61%, from the first quarter of 2018. Total investment income of $15.2 million decreased $395,000, or 2.54%, from the fourth quarter of 2018 and $1.5 million, or 8.80%, from the first quarter of 2018. Dividend income from FHLB stock declined by $754,000 from the fourth quarter of 2018 and was unchanged from the first quarter of 2018. Interest expense increased $1.0 million over the prior quarter and $3.6 million over the first quarter of 2018.

During the first quarter of 2019, $1.5 million of provision for loan losses was recorded, compared to $3.0 million of provision for loan losses for the prior quarter and $1.0 million of loan loss provision recaptured for the same period last year.

Noninterest income was $16.3 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared with $10.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 and $12.9 million for the first quarter of 2018. The $5.5 million quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to a $4.5 million net gain on the sale of one of our bank owned buildings. The first quarter of 2019 also included $105,000 of net gain on the sale of one OREO, compared to $3.5 million of net gain on the sale of one OREO in the first quarter of 2018. Excluding net gains on sale, noninterest income for the first quarter of 2019 grew by $895,000, or 8.32%, quarter-over-quarter and increased by $2.3 million, or 24.29%, compared to the first quarter of 2018.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2019 was $51.6 million, compared to $60.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 and $35.9 million for the first quarter of 2018. The $9.2 million quarter-over-quarter decrease included a $5.3 million decrease in merger related expenses. Salaries and employee benefits for the first quarter of 2019 decreased $1.6 million and occupancy and equipment costs decreased $1.4 million, primarily due to cost savings resulting from the previous quarter’s systems integration related to the Community Bank (“CB”) merger and the consolidation of six banking centers during the first quarter of 2019. The $15.7 million increase in noninterest expense over the first quarter of 2018 included a $7.0 million increase in salary and benefit expense principally due to additional compensation for our newly hired and former CB employees. When compared to the first quarter of 2018, amortization of core deposit intangible (“CDI”) increased by $2.5 million as a result of core deposits assumed from CB. Occupancy and equipment expense increased by $1.4 million due to the banking centers acquired from CB. The first quarter of 2019 also included $3.1 million in merger related expenses mostly due to the consolidation of six banking centers. This compares to $803,000 in merger related expenses for the same period of 2018. As a percentage of average assets, noninterest expense was 1.83%, compared to 2.10% for the fourth quarter of 2018 and 1.77% for the first quarter of 2018. If merger related expenses are not included, noninterest expense was 1.72% of average assets for the first quarter of 2019, 1.80% of average assets for the fourth quarter of 2018, and 1.73% of average assets for the first quarter of 2018.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, was $109.5 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $113.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 and $70.5 million for the first quarter of 2018. Our net interest margin (tax equivalent) was 4.39% for the first quarter of 2019, compared to 4.40% for the fourth quarter of 2018 and 3.68% for the first quarter of 2018. Total average earning asset yields (tax equivalent) were 4.62% for the first quarter of 2019, compared to 4.58% for the fourth quarter of 2018 and 3.80% for the first quarter of 2018. The increase in earning asset yield from the prior quarter was primarily due to a five

basis point increase in average loan yields. The growth in earning asset yield compared to the first quarter of 2018 was a combination of the growth in loan yields from 4.67% to 5.27% and a change in asset mix with average loans growing to 75.6% of earning assets for the first quarter, compared to 61.5% for the first quarter of 2018. Discount accretion decreased by $1.3 million quarter-over-quarter. As a result of the acquisition of CB, discount accretion increased by $5.7 million compared to the first quarter of 2018. The tax equivalent yield on investments increased two basis points from the fourth quarter of 2018 and by 16 basis points from the first quarter of 2018. First quarter average loans declined by $3.1 million, while loans grew by $2.87 billion on average compared to the first quarter of 2018. Investment securities declined on average by $81.7 million from the fourth quarter and by $409.9 million compared to the first quarter of 2018. Total cost of funds increased to 0.25% for the first quarter of 2019, compared to 0.19% for the fourth quarter of 2018 and 0.12% for the first quarter of 2018. The increase in cost of funds compared to the prior quarter was due to a three basis point increase in cost of deposits and customer repurchase agreements, combined with $105.0 million in growth in average overnight borrowings. Compared to the first quarter of 2018, the increase in cost of funds was due to a 27 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. This increase was the result of a nine basis point increase in cost of deposits and customer repurchases and $146.0 million of growth in average overnight borrowings. Compared to the prior quarter, interest-bearing deposits and customer repurchase agreements declined on average by $35.2 million. In comparison to the first quarter of 2018, average interest-bearing deposits and customer repurchase agreements increased by $946.8 million.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 was 29%, compared with 28% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. Our estimated annual effective tax rate varies depending upon the level of tax-advantaged income as well as available tax credits.

Assets

The Company reported total assets of $11.30 billion at March 31, 2019. This represented a decrease of $224.2 million, or 1.94%, from total assets of $11.53 billion at December 31, 2018. Interest-earning assets of $10.04 billion at March 31, 2019 decreased $246.2 million, or 2.39%, when compared with $10.29 billion at December 31, 2018. The decrease in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $157.7 million decrease in total loans and a $71.6 million decrease in investment securities.

Total assets of $11.30 billion at March 31, 2019 increased $2.95 billion, or 35.29%, from total assets of $8.36 billion at March 31, 2018.

The increase in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $2.81 billion increase in total loans, partially offset by a $332.9 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.

Excluding dairy and livestock loans, total loans declined by $82.0 million, or 1.11%.

Reconciliations of Adjusted Yield on Average Loans, Yield on Average Earning Assets and NIM (Non-GAAP)

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding our performance. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 included a yield adjustment of $7.2 million and $2.3 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.
