Diluted net income per common share also increased 35.75% to $2.43 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 versus $1.79 for the comparable period of 2015. This increase included an after-tax gain on the sale of the Corporation’s insurance subsidiary of $5.75 million. Return on assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 1.35% compared to 1.03% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Norman L. Lowery, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our third quarter 2016 results. We had another solid quarter of loan growth and our asset quality remains excellent.”

Book value per share was $34.66 at September 30, 2016, a 7.77% increase from the $32.16 at September 30, 2015. Shareholders’ equity increased 3.38% to $422.4 million from $408.6 million on September 30, 2015.

Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $7.92 million compared to $9.95 million as of September 30, 2015. The decline was primarily related to the sale of the Corporation’s insurance subsidiary which reduced insurance commissions by $1.66 million year-over-year.
