Asset Quality

Non-performing assets were $143.4 million, or 0.75 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2017, compared to $144.5 million, or 0.76 percent of total assets, at December 31, 2016 and $148.1 million, or 0.82 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2016.

Annualized net charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 were 0.09 percent of total average loans, compared to annualized net recoveries of 0.03 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, and net charge-offs of 0.20 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 131.3 percent at March 31, 2017, as compared to 130.2 percent at December 31, 2016 and 121.1 percent at March 31, 2016.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Corporation recorded a $4.8 million provision for credit losses, compared to a $5.0 million provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2016 and a $1.5 million provision in the first quarter of 2016.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income, excluding investment securities gains, decreased $5.7 million, or 11.1 percent, in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2016. Other service charges and fees decreased $896,000, or 6.7 percent, due to decreases in debit card income and merchant fees. Service charges on deposits decreased $414,000, or 3.2 percent, due to a decrease in overdraft fee income. Mortgage banking income decreased $2.4 million, or 34.0 percent, due primarily to lower servicing income. The driver of this decrease was the $1.7 million adjustment recorded to reduce the valuation allowance for mortgage servicing rights (MSR) in the prior quarter. Other decreases in non-interest income were driven by decreases in gains from the sale of Small Business Administration loans.

Compared to the first quarter of 2016, non-interest income, excluding investment securities gains, increased $3.4 million, or 8.0 percent, due to increases in commercial loan interest rate swap fees, mortgage banking income, and investment management and trust services income.

Gains on sales of investment securities decreased $419,000 in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2016, and increased $159,000 from the first quarter of 2016.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense decreased $5.3 million, or 4.2 percent, in the first quarter of 2017, compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $4.0 million, or 5.5 percent, due primarily to decreases in incentive compensation and two fewer payroll days in the quarter. Other decreases occurred in outside services and losses on the disposal of fixed assets.

Compared to the first quarter of 2016, non-interest expense increased $1.9 million, or 1.5 percent, primarily due to increases in state taxes and amortization of community development investments.

in thousands, except per share data and percentages

Explanatory note:

This press release contains supplemental financial information, as detailed below, which has been derived by methods other than Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The Corporation has presented these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that these measures provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Corporation's results of operations. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how the Corporation evaluates its performance internally and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Corporation's industry. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP measures, are also useful to investors to evaluate the Corporation's results. Investors should recognize that the Corporation's presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures, and the Corporation strongly encourages a review of its condensed consolidated financial statements in their entirety. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure follow:
