•

Mortgage banking segment net income totaled $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to $31,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The quarter ended March 31, 2015 represents the third consecutive quarter in which the mortgage banking segment has outperformed the prior year comparative quarter.

Along with the improved volumes, the segment's efficiency ratio dropped to 88.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to 99.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 due to ongoing expense control efforts.
