included $611,000 of acquisition costs (after-tax) related to the previously announced acquisition of Ohio Legacy Corp. Excluding these acquisition costs, the Company’s adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $5.6 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.121 per share for the quarter ending December 31, 2016.

Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 totaled $18.8 million, up 15.6% from the $16.3 million reported for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. For the same time period, diluted earnings per share increased to $0.399, up 19.1% from the $0.335 per share previously reported. Excluding the $611,000 acquisition costs (after-tax), adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 was $19.4 million, or $0.412 per diluted share.

Gary M. Small, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “Excellent fourth quarter performance capped off an outstanding year for Home Savings. For the year we originated over $900 million in loans, delivered strong loan growth in our commercial and consumer business segments, successfully expanded our residential lending business into new markets, added insurance agency and mezzanine finance capabilities, and are well on our way to completing the integration process with Premier Bank and Trust.” Small continued, “All indications lead us to believe 2017 should prove to be an equally exciting year as business pipelines are full and we anticipate expansion of Premier’s asset management, trust and private banking business across the organization.”

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total Loans

Total net loans, including loans held for sale, increased $214.3 million, or 15.9% to $1.6 billion at December 31, 2016, compared to December 31, 2015. Loan growth is being driven primarily by the commercial loan portfolio. Commercial loan production totaled $308.7 million for 2016 and was approximately 35.8% higher than 2015. Commercial loan balances grew over 36.4%, or $134.5 million when compared to the same time period last year. Unfunded commercial loan commitments increased $45.3 million, or 43.8%, to $148.7 million, during 2016.

Residential loans, including residential loans held for sale, grew $51.0 million, or 6.3%, at December 31, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015. Total residential loan production increased 28.5% over the prior year. Over half of this increase is a result of growth within the Company’s residential construction loan program. Pipeline levels are 5.7% higher at December 31, 2016, compared to December 31, 2015.

Consumer loan balances increased $28.3 million, or 15.1% to $216.6 million at December 31, 2016. Consumer loan production increased 21.9%, driven primarily by auto loan production of $35.6 million during 2016.

Total Deposits

The Company lowered its overall cost of deposits to 38 basis points from 47 basis points for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same time period last year. This 19.2% reduction in cost was the result of a shift in deposit mix driven by a 17.3% growth in the average outstanding balance of noninterest bearing deposit accounts. Noninterest bearing deposit accounts grew primarily because of a 29% increase in commercial deposits. The Company also continued to grow public funds, which increased $15.7 million, or 17.1%, to $107.6 million at December 31, 2016, compared to $91.9 million at December 31, 2015. Lastly, the Company was able to diversify its deposit mix utilizing brokered deposits. As a result of this activity, total deposits increased $79.2 million, or 5.5% to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2016, compared to December 31, 2015.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming loans decreased 25.7% to $12.4 million as of December 31, 2016, compared to December 31, 2015. The reduction was driven by a single relationship aggregating $6.4 million that was classified as an Other Asset to more closely reflect the nature of the receivable. As a result, nonperforming loans to net loans at December 31, 2016 was 0.83%, compared to 1.27% at December 31, 2015. The Company’s allowance to total loan ratio was 1.25% at December 31, 2016.

During the first quarter of 2016, Home Savings recognized additional provision expense for a specific seasoned commercial loan, due to a loss of the property’s tenant. This loan was exited in January 2017. The following table depicts results had the resolution been achieved in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Fourth Quarter and Year-to-date Results

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis was $16.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, up 13.9% from the $14.5 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015. The improvement in net interest income was primarily due to the growth in average net loan balances and a decline in funding costs. Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis was $63.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, up 11.3% from the $56.6 million recorded for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015.

Net interest margin was 3.26% for the fourth quarter of 2016, an increase from 3.16% reported in the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase in net interest margin was due primarily to the overall reduction in funding costs.

Net interest margin was 3.24% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, an increase from 3.18% reported for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company recognized a provision for loan loss expense of $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to a provision of $893,000 in the fourth quarter of 2015. Net charge offs for the quarter totaled 17 basis points on an annualized basis. The majority of the provision expense was related to the growth of the loan portfolio.

The Company recognized a provision for loan loss expense of $5.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 compared to an expense of $2.1 million in the comparable period of 2015. Small continued, “The provision for 2016 was in line with our expectations based on anticipated loan growth, net charge-off activity and improvement in asset quality.”

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income increased 3.4% to $5.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $5.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Favorably affecting the change was the benefit of insurance agency income of $417,000. The Company also recognized a positive change in the valuation of mortgage servicing rights totaling $630,000 in the quarter. Partially offsetting these favorable changes was a decrease in mortgage banking income and a decline in deposit related fees.

Non-interest income increased 12.0% to $22.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 compared to $19.7 million in the comparable period last year. Positively affecting the comparison was the benefit of insurance agency income totaling $1.7 million. Also contributing to the change was an increase in brokerage income, deposit related fees, mortgage servicing fees and debit/credit card fees, for a total of $533,000. The twelve months ended December 31, 2016 also saw security gains totaling $604,000. These increases were partially offset by a $397,000 decrease in mortgage banking income.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $13.7 million, up 7.5% for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. After giving consideration to $787,000 in acquisition related costs associated with the Ohio Legacy Corp. acquisition announced in the third quarter of 2016, noninterest expense was essentially flat. The efficiency ratio continues to show improvement at 61.89% for the fourth quarter of 2016 as compared to 63.74% for the same time period last year.

Non-interest expense was $52.0 million, up 4.2% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. Non-interest expense was flat for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, in comparison to the same period last year after taking into consideration the addition of James & Sons Insurance Company and the acquisition of Ohio Legacy Corp. The efficiency ratio was 61.01% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 compared to 65.10% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015.

Pre-tax, Pre-provision Income

Pre-tax, pre-provision income was $8.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, up $1.1 million, or 14.8%, from the $7.2 million recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2015. Pre-tax, pre-provision income was $32.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, up $6.0 million, or 23.0%, from the $26.3 million recorded for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. Pre-tax, pre-provision income is derived by adding provision for loan losses and income tax expense to net income.

Equity

Tangible book value per common share at December 31, 2016 improved to $5.32, as compared to $5.14 at December 31, 2015. This change was primarily due to net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 offset partially by dividends paid and an increase in losses on available for sale securities.

During 2016, the Company continued its common share repurchase program, and purchased 1,562,959 shares at an average price of $6.01 per share. At December 31, 2016, United Community has 1,683,830 shares remaining to be repurchased under its current repurchase program.

Dividend to be Paid

On January 24, 2017, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per common share payable February 22, 2017 to shareholders of record at the close of business February 10, 2017.
