"We were pleased with the second quarter results as we were able to grow earnings per share by 4.0 percent linked quarter and 13.0 percent year over year,” said E. Philip Wenger, Chairman, President and CEO. "We saw strong loan growth with stable credit conditions, continued net interest margin expansion, and growth across most non-interest income categories.”

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2017 increased $4.0 million, or 2.9 percent, from the first quarter of 2017. Net interest margin increased three basis points, or 0.9 percent, to 3.29 percent in the second quarter of 2017, from 3.26 percent in the first quarter of 2017. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased four basis points, while the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased three basis points, during the second quarter of 2017 in comparison to the first quarter of 2016. As a result of an increase in average non-interest bearing deposits during the second quarter of 2017, the cost of funds increased two basis points.

Average Balance Sheet

Total average assets for the second quarter of 2017 were $19.3 billion, an increase of $240.1 million from the first quarter of 2017. Average loans, net of unearned income, increased $269.6 million, or 1.8 percent, in comparison to the first quarter of 2017. Average loans and yields, by type, for the second quarter of 2017 in comparison to the first quarter of 2017, are summarized in the following table:

Asset Quality

Non-performing assets were $147.2 million, or 0.75 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2017, compared to $143.4 million, or 0.75 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2017 and $139.7 million, or 0.76 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2016.

Annualized net charge-offs for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 were 0.11 percent of total average loans, compared to annualized net charge-offs of 0.09 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, and net charge-offs of 0.10 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 128.9 percent at June 30, 2017, as compared to 131.3 percent at March 31, 2017 and 129.3 percent at June 30, 2016.

During the second quarter of 2017, the Corporation recorded a $6.7 million provision for credit losses, compared to a $4.8 million provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2017 and a $2.5 million provision in the second quarter of 2016.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income, excluding investment securities gains, increased $5.4 million, or 11.8 percent, in comparison to the first quarter of 2017. Other service charges and fees increased $1.9 million, or 15.3 percent, due to increases in debit card income and merchant fees and commercial loan interest rate swap fees. Service charges on deposits increased $514,000, or 4.1 percent, due to increases in overdraft fees and other deposit service charge income. Mortgage banking income increased $1.5 million, or 33.6 percent, due primarily to a $1.3 million reversal of the valuation allowance for mortgage servicing rights in the current quarter. Other increases in non-interest income were driven by increases in gains from the sale of Small Business Administration loans and an increase in investment management and trust services income.

Compared to the second quarter of 2016, non-interest income, excluding investment securities gains, increased $4.9 million, or 10.6 percent, due to increases in commercial loan interest rate swap fees, mortgage banking income, investment management and trust services income and gains from the sale of Small Business Administration loans.

Gains on sales of investment securities increased $330,000 in comparison to the first quarter of 2017, and increased $1.4 million from the second quarter of 2016.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased $10.4 million, or 8.5 percent, in the second quarter of 2017, compared to the first quarter of 2017. Salaries and employee benefits increased $5.3 million, or 7.6 percent, due primarily to lower incentive compensation accruals in the first quarter of 2017 in comparison to the second quarter and merit increases in the second quarter of 2017, combined with an increase in headcount. Other increases occurred in outside services and amortization of tax credit investments.

Compared to the second quarter of 2016, non-interest expense increased $11.1 million, or 9.1 percent, primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, amortization of tax credit investments and other outside services, partially offset by a decrease in data processing and FDIC insurance expense.

Income Tax Expense

The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2017 was 16.6 percent, as compared to 24.1 percent for the first quarter of 2017. The decrease reflects the impact of classifying the tax credits earned on all tax credit investments as a reduction to income tax expense, while the amortization of certain new tax credit investments was classified in non-interest expense rather than income tax expense. Volatility in the effective tax rate may occur as a result of the timing of such investments and the realization of the tax credits. There was no impact on net income of the different accounting for these new tax credit investments.

In addition, approximately $1.6 million of excess tax benefits associated with vesting of employee stock awards and stock option exercises were recorded as a reduction to income tax expense in the second quarter of 2017, as compared to $425,000 of excess tax benefits in the first quarter of 2017.

(1) Amortization expense for tax credit investments that are considered to be affordable housing projects under applicable accounting guidance is included in income taxes. Amortization expense for other tax credit investments that are not considered to be affordable housing projects is included in non-interest expense. If amortization expense for all tax credit investments were recorded in income taxes, the effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 would have been 21.2% vs 16.6%.
