practice for our 39-year-old Bank that has resulted in improved financial performance, rewarding our long term shareholders. To that end, the Company began execution late in the fourth quarter on our stock repurchase authorization and the Directors have declared a third consecutive increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.10 per share on the Company’s common stock,” stated James M. Ford, President & CEO of Central Valley Community Bank and Central Valley Community Bancorp. 
“Our strategic plan remains viable as we continue to expand our presence in the San Joaquin Valley and Greater Sacramento regions by offering personalized financial service and competitive products,” concluded Ford.
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased 51.78% compared to 2017, primarily driven by an increase in net interest income and a decrease in the provision for income taxes, partially offset by a decrease in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities and an increase in non-interest expense compared to the year ended December 31, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a $50,000 provision for credit losses, compared to a $1,150,000 reverse provision during the year ended December 31, 2017. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $62,703,000, compared to $56,239,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $6,464,000 or 11.49%. The impact to interest income from the accretion of the loan marks on acquired loans was $1,158,000 and $829,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. In addition, net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2018 was benefited by approximately $498,000 in nonrecurring income from prepayment penalties and payoff of loans previously on nonaccrual status, as compared to a $1,313,000 net benefit for the year ended December 31, 2017. Excluding these reversals and benefits, net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased by $7,279,000 compared to the year ended December 31, 2017. Approximately, $4,304,000 of the increase in net interest income was attributable to the Folsom Lake Bank (FLB) acquisition completed in 2017, and approximately $2,975,000 from our continued organic growth.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company’s shareholders’ equity increased $10,179,000, or 4.86%, compared to December 31, 2017. The increase in shareholders’ equity was driven by the retention of earnings, net of dividends paid, offset by a decrease in net unrealized gains on available-for-sale (AFS) securities recorded, net of estimated taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI).

Return on average equity (ROE) for the year ended December 31, 2018 was 10.07%, compared to 7.69% for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in ROE was primarily due to the increase in net income compared to last year. The Company declared and paid $0.31 and $0.24 per share in cash dividends to holders of common stock during the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 1.35% for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 0.94% for the year ended December 31, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company’s total assets decreased 7.45%, and total liabilities decreased 9.23%, compared to December 31, 2017.
Non-performing assets decreased by $205,000, or 6.96%, to $2,740,000 at December 31, 2018, compared to $2,945,000 at December 31, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded $276,000 in net loan recoveries, compared to $602,000 in net recoveries for the year ended December 31, 2017. The net charge-off (recovery) ratio, which reflects annualized net recoveries to average loans, was (0.03)% for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to (0.08)% for the same period in 2017. Total non-performing assets were 0.18% of total assets as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
At December 31, 2018, the allowance for credit losses was $9,104,000, compared to $8,778,000 at December 31, 2017, a net increase of $326,000 reflecting the net recoveries and provision during the period. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.99% at December 31, 2018, and 0.97% at December 31, 2017. Total loans includes loans acquired in the acquisitions of FLB on October 1, 2017, Sierra Vista Bank on October 1, 2016 and Visalia Community Bank on July 1, 2013 that, at their respective acquisition dates, were recorded at fair value and did not have a related allowance for credit losses. The recorded value of acquired loans totaled $189,719,000 at December 31, 2018 and $243,712,000 at December 31, 2017. Excluding these acquired loans from the calculation, the allowance for credit losses to total gross loans was 1.25% and 1.34% as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and general reserves associated with non-impaired loans to total non-impaired loans was 1.25% and 1.34%, respectively. The Company believes the allowance for credit losses is adequate to provide for probable incurred credit losses within the loan portfolio at December 31, 2018.
The Company’s net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) was 4.44% for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 4.40% for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in net interest

margin in the period-to-period comparison resulted primarily from the increase in the effective yield on interest earning deposits in other banks and Federal Funds sold, offset by the decrease in the effective yield on average investment securities, and the decrease in the yield on the Company’s loan portfolio.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the effective yield on average total earning assets increased 6 basis points to 4.54% compared to 4.48% for the year ended December 31, 2017, while the cost of average total interest-bearing liabilities increased to 0.19% for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to 0.14% for the year ended December 31, 2017. Over the same periods, the cost of average total deposits increased to 0.09% for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to 0.08% for the same period in 2017.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company’s average investment securities, including interest-earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, totaled $526,606,000, a decrease of $41,820,000, or 7.36%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2017. The effective yield on average investment securities, including interest earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, decreased to 2.88% for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 3.06% for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The increase in loans was partially offset by the sale of the Company’s credit card portfolio of approximately $2,504,000 during the second quarter of 2018. The year-over-year loan growth was primarily due to the acquisition of FLB in 2017. The effective yield on average loans decreased slightly to 5.50% for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 5.51% for the year ended December 31, 2017 primarily due to competitive pressures in the Company’s lending markets.
Total average assets for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $1,577,410,000 compared to $1,491,696,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $85,714,000 or 5.75%.

average non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits was 41.48% for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to 38.93% for the year ended December 31, 2017. The year-over-year growth was primarily driven by the FLB acquisition which closed on October 1, 2017.
Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2018 decreased by $512,000 to $10,324,000, compared to $10,836,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017, primarily driven by a decrease of $1,488,000 in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities. A net gain of $462,000 on the sale of the Company’s credit card portfolio, an increase in appreciation in cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance of $74,000, a $147,000 increase in Federal Home Loan Bank dividends, a $4,000 increase in interchange fees, and an increase in loan placement fees of $2,000, were offset by a $67,000 decrease in service charge income.

The net increase year over year was primarily attributable to the FLB acquisition, which resulted in increases in salaries and employee benefits of $1,483,000, occupancy and equipment expenses of $786,000, operating losses of $302,000, and information technology of $295,000, offset by decrease in acquisition and integration expenses of $1,611,000, a decrease of $124,000 in credit card expenses, and a decrease of $132,000 in directors’ expenses in 2018 compared to 2017.

The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2018 was 23.72% compared to 41.11% for the year ended December 31, 2017.

the quarters ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, primarily due to the revaluation of deferred tax assets in 2017 as a result of the change in the marginal 2018 federal tax rate from 35% to 21%. Net income for the immediately trailing quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $5,752,000, or $0.42 per diluted common share.

Annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 1.37% for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to 0.08% for the same period in 2017. This increase is due to an increase in net income notwithstanding a decrease in average assets.

Net interest income during the fourth quarters of 2018 and 2017 benefited by approximately $142,000 and $96,000, respectively, from prepayment penalties and payoff of loans previously on nonaccrual status.
