Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 Income Statement Summary
During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, BofI earned $32.3 million or $0.50 per diluted share compared to $28.1 million, or $0.44 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. Net interest income increased $13.2 million or 20.9% for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015, due to the $1.5 billion growth in average-earning assets.
The loan and lease loss provision was $4.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 compared to $3.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The increase in the provision is primarily the result of growth in the loan portfolio and changes in the loan mix during the quarter ended December 31, 2016.
For the second quarter ended December 31, 2016, non-interest income was $16.7 million compared to $16.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. The increase year over year was the result of increases in mortgage banking income of $1.9 million and in banking service fees and other income of $2.2 million, primarily due to increased fees related to individual retirement accounts, partially offset by a $3.5 million decrease in gain on sale – other due to decreased sales of structured settlements.
Non-interest expense or operating costs increased $5.9 million to $33.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 from $27.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. The increase was mainly a result of an increase in salaries and related expense of $3.5 million related to staffing added since December 31, 2015, an increase in data processing and internet expense of $0.6 million, an increase in occupancy and equipment of $0.4 million and an increase of $0.6 million in other general and administrative costs. The increases in staffing primarily support loan, deposit, data processing and software initiatives.
Balance Sheet Summary

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, this report includes non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted earnings. Adjusted earnings exclude realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with our securities portfolios. Excluding these gains and losses provides investors with an understanding of BofI’s core lending and mortgage banking business. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Readers should be aware of these limitations and should be cautious as to their use of such measures. Although BofI believes the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this report enhance investors’ understanding of its business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for GAAP basis financial measures. Below is a reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted earnings:
