DETAILED FINANCIALS
ServisFirst Bancshares, Inc. reported net income and net income available to common stockholders of $25.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to net income and net income available to common stockholders of $20.9 million for the same quarter in 2016. Basic and diluted earnings per common share were $0.48 and $0.47, respectively, for the third quarter of 2017, compared to $0.40 and $0.39, respectively, for the third quarter of 2016.
Return on average assets was 1.55% and return on average equity was 17.28% for the third quarter of 2017, compared to 1.39% and 16.66%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2016.
Net interest income was $58.4 million for the third quarter of 2017, compared to $55.6 million for the second quarter of 2017 and $47.9 million for the third quarter of 2016. The net interest margin in the third quarter of 2017 was 3.77%, flat from the second quarter of 2017 and an increase of 42 basis points from the third quarter of 2016. The increase in net interest income on a linked quarter basis is attributable to a $206.5 million increase in average loans outstanding, a $24.7 million increase in non-interest-bearing deposits and a $22.3 million increase in average equity, together resulting in a positive mix change in our balance sheet. The average yield on loans increased by six basis points to 4.66% and the average rate paid on deposits increased by eight basis points to 0.72% on a linked quarter basis.
Average loans for the third quarter of 2017 were $5.44 billion, an increase of $206.5 million, or 4%, over average loans of $5.23 billion for the second quarter of 2017, and an increase of $863.7 million, or 19%, over average loans of $4.58 billion for the third quarter of 2016.
Average total deposits for the third quarter of 2017 were $5.53 billion, an increase of $260.4 million, or 5%, over average total deposits of $5.27 billion for the second quarter of 2017, and an increase of $550.7 million, or 11%, over average total deposits of $4.98 billion for the third quarter of 2016.
Non-performing assets to total assets were 0.28% for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of five basis points compared to 0.23% for the second quarter of 2017 and an increase of 12 basis points compared to 0.16% for the third quarter of 2016. Net credit charge-offs to average loans were 0.10%, a 15 basis point decrease compared to 0.25% for the second quarter of 2017 and a three basis point decrease compared to 0.13% for the third quarter of 2016. We recorded a $4.8 million provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2017 and $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2016. The allowance for loan loss as a percentage of total loans was 1.04% at September 30, 2017 compared to 1.03% at June 30, 2017 and 1.05% at September 30, 2016. In management’s opinion, the allowance is adequate and was determined by consistent application of ServisFirst Bank’s methodology for calculating its allowance for loan losses.
Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2017 was $4.8 million, flat with the third quarter of 2016. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $100,000 while mortgage banking revenue decreased by approximately $134,000 in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016. Credit card income was flat at $1.1 million due to higher accruals for awards during the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016.
Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2017 increased $1.3 million, or 7%, to $21.5 million from $20.2 million in the third quarter of 2016, and decreased $378,000, or 2%, on a linked quarter basis. Salary and benefit expense for the third quarter of 2017 increased $1.4 million, or 13%, to $12.4 million from $11.0 million in the third quarter of 2016, and increased $397,000, or 3%, on a linked quarter basis. Professional service expenses decreased by $377,000, or 32%, to $805,000 for the third quarter of 2017 compared to $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2016, a result of lower legal expenses. Other operating expense for the third quarter of 2017 increased $507,000, or 10%, to $5.5 million from $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2016.
Income tax expense increased $3.4 million, or 42%, to $11.6 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $8.2 million in the third quarter of 2016. We recognized excess tax benefits from the exercise and vesting of stock options and restricted stock of $757,000 in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2016. Our effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2017 and 2016 was 31.5% and 28.1%, respectively.
