Performance Highlights
-
Net interest income increased by
$17.2 million to $247.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 from$230.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Interest income increased by$44.2 million , driven by increases in the average balances of loans and investment securities outstanding as well as increases in tax-equivalent yields on interest earning assets. Interest expense increased by$27.0 million , driven primarily by increases in average interest bearing deposits and an increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities. - The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.56% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared to 3.52% for the immediately preceding quarter ended December 31, 2017 and 3.70% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Significant factors contributing to the decline in the net interest margin from the comparable quarter of the prior year were (i) an increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities; (ii) the impact on tax equivalent yields of the reduction in the statutory federal income tax rate; and (iii) although yields on all categories of interest earning assets increased, non-covered loans and investment securities were added to the balance sheet at yields lower than the existing yield on earning assets.
- The effective income tax rate declined to 23.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 from 30.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, primarily due to the reduction in the statutory federal income tax rate.
-
Total deposits increased by
$361 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, to$22.2 billion . Growth in non-interest bearing demand deposits accounted for$270 million of this increase. Non-covered loans and leases, including equipment under operating lease, grew by$66 million during the quarter. Loan growth was impacted during the quarter by continued runoff of theNew York multi-family portfolio and seasonality in the mortgage warehouse and commercial and industrial lines of business. -
During the three months ended
March 31, 2018 , under the terms of the share repurchase program authorized by its Board of Directors, the Company repurchased 1.2 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of$48.6 million . -
Book value per common share grew to
$28.57 at March 31, 2018 from$28.32 at December 31, 2017 while tangible book value per common share increased to$27.83 from$27.59 over the same period.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
For the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded
provisions for loan losses of
The most significant factor impacting the decrease in the provision for loan losses related to non-covered loans for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2017, was the decline in the provision related to taxi medallion loans. Other offsetting factors contributing to the decline included (i) a net increase in the relative impact on the provision of changes in quantitative and qualitative loss factors; (ii) a decrease in the provision related to specific reserves; and (iii) lower loan growth.
Non-covered, non-performing loans totaled
The ratios of the allowance for non-covered loan and lease losses to
total non-covered loans and to non-performing, non-covered loans were
0.65% and 71.03%, respectively, at March 31, 2018, compared to 0.69% and
84.03%, at December 31, 2017. The decrease in the ratio of the allowance
for non-covered loan and lease losses to non-performing, non-covered
loans was primarily a result of the increase in non-accrual multi-family
loans during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and charge-offs
related to taxi medallion loans. The annualized ratio of net charge-offs
to average non-covered loans was 0.21% for the three months ended

Net interest income
Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 increased to
The Company’s net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.56% for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, compared to 3.52% for the immediately preceding quarter ended December 31, 2017 and 3.70% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
Significant offsetting factors impacting the decrease in net interest
margin for the three months ended
-
The tax-equivalent yield on loans increased to 5.26% for the three
months ended
March 31, 2018 from 5.07% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2017 , reflecting increased yields on both non-covered and covered loans. -
The tax-equivalent yield on non-covered loans was 3.83% for the three
months ended
March 31, 2018 , compared to 3.62% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2017 . The most significant factor contributing to the increased yield on non-covered loans was the impact of increases in benchmark interest rates. -
The tax-equivalent yield on covered loans increased to 65.22% for the
three months ended
March 31, 2018 from 49.83% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2017 . -
The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities increased to 3.04%
for the three months ended
March 31, 2018 from 3.01% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2017 . -
Tax-equivalent yields on non-covered loans and investment securities
were reduced by approximately 0.08% and 0.10%, respectively, and the
net interest margin was reduced by approximately 0.08% for the three
months ended
March 31, 2018 due to the reduction of the statutory federal income tax rate. - Growth of non-covered loans and investment securities at yields lower than the overall yield on interest earning assets.
-
The average rate on interest bearing liabilities increased to 1.37%
for the three months ended
March 31, 2018 from 0.98% for three months endedMarch 31, 2017 , reflecting higher average rates on both interest bearing deposits and FHLB advances. Increases in the cost of interest bearing liabilities primarily reflect increases in market interest rates and extension of the duration of FHLB advances.
The Company’s net interest margin continues to be impacted by reclassifications from non-accretable difference to accretable yield on ACI loans. Non-accretable difference at acquisition represented the difference between the total contractual payments due and the cash flows expected to be received on these loans. The accretable yield on ACI loans represented the amount by which undiscounted expected future cash flows exceeded the recorded investment in the loans. As the Company’s expected cash flows from ACI loans have increased since the FSB Acquisition, the Company has reclassified amounts from non-accretable difference to accretable yield.
