"The Bank's financial results for the first quarter demonstrate our continued focus on balancing strong organic growth with quality earnings," said John Black, CEO. "Our record levels of net interest income and 46% growth in earnings before taxes, loan loss provision and gain on sale of securities demonstrate the quality of the Bank's earnings growth." Brian Horton, President added, "we are very pleased to have added a significant number of new clients in the quarter, adding to our diverse base of customer relationships throughout Southern California. The Bank is also excited to announce the opening of its fourth office on March 1 st , located in the Warner Center area of Woodland Hills."
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, net interest income before provision was $5.2 million, an increase of 20% compared to the first quarter of 2012 and an increase of 2% compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. The year-over-year growth in net interest income was the result of growth in earning assets offsetting a decline in net interest margin. Earning assets were $653 million in the first quarter of 2013, a 26% or $136 million increase over the prior year. The net interest margin was 3.23% during the first quarter of 2013, compared to 3.37% for the prior year. The decrease in net interest margin was the result of declining loan and investment yields due to the continuation of the current low rate environment. The growth in net interest income over the prior quarter was the result of an increase in the net interest margin from 3.13% to 3.23%. This increase resulted from the yield on earning assets increasing by 0.10% from the prior quarter as loan balances grew from 60% of earning assets to 63%, while balances at the Federal Reserve declined from 5% to 1% of earning assets. The provision for loan loss was $542,000 for the first quarter of 2013, a $532,000 increase year over year and a $29,000 sequential increase. Net loan charge-offs during the first quarter of 2013 totaled $349,000, compared to zero charge-offs in the prior year and net charge-offs of $598,000 in the prior quarter. The remaining balance of a non-accrual loan at December 31, 2012 was charged-off during the current quarter resulting in no non-accrual loans at March 31, 2013.
Non-interest income, excluding gain on sale, was $749,000 for the quarter, which was a 7% increase year over year and a 2% sequential increase. Growth in non-interest income was generally due to increased deposit related fees. There was no gain on sale of securities during the first quarter of 2013. The first quarter and the fourth quarter of 2012 included gain on sale of securities totaling $135,000 and $629,000, respectively.
Non-interest expense increased by $289,000 or 8% over the prior year and decreased by $208,000 or 5% over the prior quarter.
