For the six months ended December 31, 2015, net income was a record $53.7 million, an increase of 44.2% over net income of $37.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014. Earnings attributable to BofI’s common stockholders were $53.5 million or $0.84 per diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 2015, an increase of 44.4% from $37.1 million or $0.62 per diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 2014. Record earnings for the quarter and for the six months ended December 31, 2015 were primarily the result of growth in both the Bank’s loan portfolio and its fee income businesses.

“Our strong performance reflects the resilience of our business model and the focus of our employees,” stated Greg Garrabrants, President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Garrabrants continued, “Growth in our jumbo single family lending business was augmented by acceleration in two newer lines of business – small balance commercial real estate and C&I lending. We see tremendous opportunities to expand geographically and to adjacent market segments in both of these businesses as we further refine our data analytics and distribution capabilities. With a well collateralized loan portfolio and no exposure to oil and gas industry lending, our credit performance remains strong. Our net interest margin improved this quarter to 4.10%, at the high end of our guidance. We completed a successful first full quarter of our strategic partnership with H&R Block, adding high margin fee income. With a strong balance sheet, a highly profitable and scalable core business and investments in new initiatives, we are well positioned for continued growth.”

Second Quarter Fiscal 2016 Income Statement Summary
During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, BofI earned $28.1 million or $0.44 per diluted share compared to $19.4 million, or $0.32 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. Net interest income increased $15.1 million or 31.3% for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014. Average earning assets grew year over year by $1,155.2 million and our net interest margin was 4.10% compared to 3.85% for the quarters ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increases were primarily the result of growth in our loan portfolio, a net increase in the average yield earned on our assets and a net decrease in the average funding rate of our liabilities.
The loan loss provision was $3.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 compared to $2.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to growth in the loan portfolio and a change in the loan mix during the quarter ended December 31, 2015.
For the second quarter ended December 31, 2015, non-interest income was $16.2 million compared to $6.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The increase year over year was the result of an increase in banking service fees and other income of $4.7 million, primarily due to H&R Block-branded products and service fee income and an increase in gain on sale - other of $4.5 million, primarily from sales of structured settlements and H&R Block-branded products.
Non-interest expense or operating costs increased $8.5 million to $27.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 from $18.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The increase was mainly a result of an increase in compensation expense of $5.7 million related to staffing added since December 31, 2014, an increase in data processing and internet expense of $0.6 million and an increase of $1.0 million in other general and administrative costs partially to support new H&R Block-branded products and services. The increases in staffing and data processing and internet expense were incurred to support the growth of the Bank’s operations.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, this report includes non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted earnings. Adjusted earnings, previously labeled as “core earnings,” exclude realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with our securities portfolios. Excluding these gains and losses provides investors with an understanding of BofI’s core lending and mortgage banking business. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Readers should be aware of these limitations and should be cautious as to their use of such measures. Although BofI believes the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this report enhance investors’ understanding of its business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for GAAP basis financial measures. Below is a reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted earnings:
