SANDUSKY, Ohio, April 27, 2018
SANDUSKY, Ohio, April 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Civista Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: CIVB) ("Civista") reported net income available to common shareholders of $6.7 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2018, compared with $4.3 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the prior year period. In addition, we issued approximately 1.6 million new shares in February 2017 related to raising $32.8 million of additional capital, net of costs.
"The first quarter of 2018 produced very strong results. The increases to our net interest margin and net income show the impact that growth can have on our organization. On March 12th we announced the acquisition of United Community Bancorp in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. We are excited about our partnership with UCB and the prospects it brings. While our loan balances have backed up a little in the first quarter, our loan production has remained steady. Our loan pipelines remain strong and we are optimistic about our loan production for the remainder of 2018." said Dennis G. Shaffer, President and CEO of Civista.
Results of Operations:
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2018 increased $1.9 million, or 14.6% compared to the same period of 2017. Interest income increased $2.2 million primarily due to a $79.5 million increase in average loans outstanding, along with a 35 basis point increase in the yield on loans. The yield on interest-earning assets increased across all categories with the exception of non-taxable securities. The reduction in the corporate tax rate was the primary reason for the decrease in the tax-equivalent yield on non-taxable securities.
Interest expense increased $352 thousand primarily due to an increase in rates of 14 basis points as well as an increase in average balances of $41.8 million. The tax equivalent net interest margin was 4.05% for the first quarter, compared to 3.67% for the same period a year ago.

During the quarter, noninterest income totaled $5.6 million, an increase of $478 thousand, or 9.3%, compared to the prior year's first quarter.

Service charge income increased $89 thousand, or 8.5%, for the first quarter primarily due to a change in the business account earnings credits, along with an increase in overdraft charges. Gain on sale of loans increased $76 thousand, or 29.6%, for the first quarter 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The increase is due to an increase in the volume of loans sold from $12.2 million in 2017 to $14.6 million in 2018. Wealth management fees increased $145 thousand, or 20.5%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 due primarily to an additional $34.0 million in assets under management compared to the first quarter of 2017. Other income increased $86 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compared to 2017, primarily due to an increase in swap fees.
During the quarter, noninterest expense totaled $12.2 million, an increase of $703 thousand, or 6.1%, compared to the prior year's first quarter.
Noninterest expense (unaudited - dollars in thousands) Three months ended March 31, 2018 2017 Compensation expense $ 7,374 $ 6,982 Net occupancy and equipment 1,135 987 Contracted data processing 348 388 Taxes and assessments 469 422 Professional services 552 451 Amortization of intangible assets 33 167 Marketing 318 252 Other 1,976 1,853 Total noninterest expense $ 12,205 $ 11,502
Compensation expense increased $392 thousand, or 5.6%, for the first quarter compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in compensation expense is mainly due to a $165 thousand increase in salaries, a $123 thousand increase in commissions and a $145 thousand increase in employee insurance. Net occupancy and equipment expense increased $148, or 15.0%, from the same period of 2017. The increase was attributable to $45 thousand increase in equipment expense, largely related to purchases and maintenance. Grounds maintenance increased $41 thousand and utilities increased $17 thousand, both as a result of the extended winter weather we experienced in our region. Professional services costs increased $101 thousand, or 22.4% for the first quarter 2018, primarily attributable to an $82 thousand increase in consulting fees and a $25 thousand increase in examination fees. Amortization of intangible assets decreased $134 thousand or 80.2% due to the final amortization of intangibles related to the acquisition of Futura Banc Corp. Other expenses increased $123 thousand, or 6.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared to 2017, spread across several items.
The efficiency ratio was 59.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to 62.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
The 2018 impact of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act was a reduction of income tax expense of approximately $797 thousand, which increased net income available to common shareholders approximately $0.06 per diluted share.
Balance Sheet
Total assets increased $74.4 million, or 4.9%, from December 31, 2017 to March 31, 2018, primarily due to increased cash balances of $78.5 million, primarily related to the tax refund processing program, offset by a decrease in the loan portfolio of $10.9 million.
End of period loan balances (unaudited - dollars in thousands) March 31, December 31, 2018 2017 $ Change % Change Commercial and Agriculture $ 137,076 $ 152,473 $ (15,397) -10.1% Commercial Real Estate: Owner Occupied 162,985 164,099 (1,114) -0.7% Non-owner Occupied 436,160 425,623 10,537 2.5% Residential Real Estate 267,430 268,735 (1,305) -0.5% Real Estate Construction 95,856 97,531 (1,675) -1.7% Farm Real Estate 37,928 39,461 (1,533) -3.9% Consumer and Other 16,323 16,739 (416) -2.5% Total Loans $ 1,153,758 $ 1,164,661 $ (10,903) -0.9%
The $10.9 million decrease in the loan portfolio from December 31, 2017 to March 31, 2018, was largely due to Commercial and Agriculture loans, however all others categories showed small decreases, with the exception of Commercial Real Estate. During the first quarter we had approximately $76.0 million in loan pay downs and approximately $97.7 million in new loans originated, some of which are lines of credit which have not yet been drawn upon.
Mr. Shaffer continued, "The prolonged cold weather that we experienced in the first quarter of 2018 slowed some of our lending activity. We expect to see increased activity during the second quarter in both new originations and draws on lines of credit."
Total deposits increased $85.7 million, or 7.1%, from December 31, 2017 to March 31, 2018. The increase was due primarily to the additional cash balances related to the tax refund processing program which increased noninterest-bearing demand accounts $173.3 million. Fewer Brokered deposits were needed resulting in a decrease of $109.4 million.
End of period deposit balances (dollars in thousands) March 31, December 31, 2018 2017 $ Change % Change Noninterest-bearing demand $ 535,225 $ 361,964 $ 173,261 47.9% Interest-bearing demand 202,264 183,680 18,584 10.1% Savings and money market 410,433 404,690 5,743 1.4% Time deposits 136,158 138,557 (2,399) -1.7% Brokered deposits 6,591 116,032 (109,441) -94.3% Total Deposits $ 1,290,671 $ 1,204,923 $ 85,748 7.1%
Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $11.9 million or 16.6% from December 31, 2017 to March 31, 2018, primarily due to reduced funding needs.
Total shareholders' equity increased $3.6 million, or 1.9%, from December 31, 2017 to March 31, 2018, primarily due to a $6.3 million increase in retained earnings, partially offset by a $2.7 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Asset Quality
The Company recorded net charge-offs of $320 thousand and $5 thousand for the three months ended March 31. 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The allowance for loan losses to loans was 1.11% for 2018 and 1.24% for 2017. The decrease in the ratio is primarily due to our continued improvement in asset quality during 2018. The non-performing assets to assets ratio decreased to 0.52% from 0.63% in 2017. The allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans increased to 154.42% from 137.82% in 2017.
