Record earnings for 2016 of $15,182,000 and diluted EPS of $1.33 are the highest in the history of the Company.
The Company completed its acquisition of Sierra Vista Bank on October 1, 2016. Consolidated results of operations and balance sheets reflecting the acquisition are presented as of and for the quarter ending December 31, 2016.
Net loans increased $158.80 million or 26.98%, while total assets increased $166.59 million or 13.05% at December 31, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015.
Total deposits increased 12.52% in 2016 to $1.26 billion at year end.
Total cost of funds remain at record low levels at 0.09% in 2016 and 0.08% in 2015.
Capital positions remain strong at December 31, 2016 with a 8.75% Tier 1 Leverage Ratio; a 12.48% Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio; a 12.74% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio; and a 13.72% Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio.
Net loan recoveries in the fourth quarter of 2016 were $27,000, compared to $517,000 in the fourth quarter of 2015.
"The financial results for this quarter and for the full year indicate our strategic plan is being successfully implemented by our dedicated team of bankers. One significant part of this quarter''s success was the completion of our merger with Sierra Vista Bank, welcoming new team members and customers in the Greater Sacramento market and representing the fourth acquisition in our Company''s history," stated James M. Ford, President and CEO of Central Valley Community Bancorp and Central Valley Community Bank.
"With the recent acquisition, our Bank is well-positioned to build upon the strength and business growth opportunities in the Greater Sacramento region. We are additionally optimistic about the continued economic improvement throughout our entire footprint, and we remain focused on our unique brand of relationship banking which has served our Bank well for over 37 years," concluded Ford.
Net income for the year increased 38.47% in 2016 compared to 2015, primarily driven by a decrease in provision for credit losses, as well as an increase in net interest income, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expenses, and an increase in provision for income taxes. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a reverse provision for credit losses of $5,850,000, compared to a $600,000 provision during the year ended December 31, 2015. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $45,580,000, compared to $40,775,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $4,805,000 or 11.78%. Net interest income during 2016 and 2015 benefited by approximately $586,000 and $424,000, respectively, in nonrecurring income from prepayment penalties and payoff of loans previously on nonaccrual status. Excluding these benefits, net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased by $4,643,000 compared to the year ended December 31, 2015.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company''s shareholders'' equity increased $24,710,000, or 17.74%. The increase in shareholders'' equity was primarily driven by the issuance of stock in connection with the Sierra Vista Bank acquisition, as well as the retention of earnings, net of dividends paid, partially offset by a decrease in unrealized gains on available-for-sale (AFS) securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). The decrease in AOCI was primarily due to an increase in longer term interest rates, which resulted in a decrease in the market value of the Company''s available-for-sale investment securities.
Return on average equity (ROE) for the year ended December 31, 2016 was 9.84%, compared to 8.12% for the year ended December 31, 2015. Notwithstanding an increase in shareholders'' equity, this increase in ROE was achieved due to an increase in net income. The Company declared and paid $0.24 per share in cash dividends to holders of common stock during 2016 compared to $0.18 during 2015. Annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 1.15% for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 0.90% for the year ended December 31, 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company''s total assets increased 13.05%, and total liabilities increased 12.47%, compared to December 31, 2015.
On October 1, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of Sierra Vista Bank (SVB). With the SVB acquisition, the Company added three full service branches, located in Folsom and Fair Oaks (Sacramento County) and Cameron Park (El Dorado County). The Company''s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 include the SVB operations from October 1, 2016. Assets and liabilities acquired included loans of $122,533,000, net of a preliminary fair value mark of $2,494,000; bank premises and equipment of $586,000; and deposits of $138,236,000. The Company also recorded a core deposit intangible of $508,000, a premium on deposits of $142,000, and goodwill of $10,314,000 in the acquisition. The Company issued an aggregate of approximately 1.059 million shares of its common stock and aggregate cash of $9.47 million to SVB shareholders. Based on the closing price of the Company''s common stock on September 30, 2016 of $15.86 per share, the SVB common shareholders received aggregate merger consideration worth approximately $26.26 million.
Non-performing assets increased by $129,000, or 5.35%, to $2,542,000 at December 31, 2016, compared to $2,413,000 at December 31, 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded $5,566,000 in net loan recoveries, compared to $702,000 in net recoveries for the year ended December 31, 2015. The net (recovery) charge-off ratio, which reflects annualized net (recoveries) charge-offs to average loans, was (0.86)% for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to (0.12)% for the same period in 2015. Total non-performing assets were $2,542,000, or 0.18% of total assets as of December 31, 2016, compared to $2,413,000, or 0.19% of total assets as of December 31, 2015.
At December 31, 2016, the allowance for credit losses was $9,326,000, compared to $9,610,000 at December 31, 2015, a net decrease of $284,000 reflecting the reverse provision of $5,850,000 and the net recoveries during the period. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.23% at December 31, 2016, and 1.61% at December 31, 2015. Total loans included loans acquired in the acquisitions of Sierra Vista Bank on October 1, 2016 and Visalia Community Bank on July 1, 2013 that were recorded at fair value in connection with the acquisitions and do not have a related allowance for credit losses. The value of the acquired loans totaled $168,296,000 at December 31, 2016 and $62,395,000 at December 31, 2015. Excluding these acquired loans from the calculation, the allowance for credit losses to total gross loans was 1.59% and 1.79% as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and general reserves associated with non-impaired loans to total non-impaired loans was 1.55% and 1.79%, 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, 2016.
The Company''s net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) was 4.09% for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to 4.01% for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase in net interest margin in the period-to-period comparison resulted from an increase in the effective yield on average investment securities, and an increase in the yield on the Company''s loan portfolio. Net interest income during 2016 and 2015 benefited by approximately $586,000 and $424,000, respectively, in nonrecurring income from prepayment penalties and payoff of loans previously on nonaccrual status.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, the effective yield on total earning assets increased 8 basis points to 4.18% compared to 4.10% for the year ended December 31, 2015, while the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities remained unchanged at 0.15% for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Over the same periods, the cost of total deposits remained unchanged at 0.09% for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Total average loans, which generally yield higher rates than investment securities, increased $59,811,000, from $586,762,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015 to $646,573,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Total average assets for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $1,321,007,000 compared to $1,222,526,000, for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $98,481,000 or 8.06%. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the average loan to deposit ratio was 56.51% and 55.05%, respectively. Total average deposits increased $78,433,000 or 7.36% to $1,144,231,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $1,065,798,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The Company''s ratio of average non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits was 36.46% for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to 36.40% for the year ended December 31, 2015. The balance sheet increases during 2016 were primarily driven by the SVB acquisition which closed on October 1, 2016.
Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased by $204,000 to $9,591,000, compared to $9,387,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015, primarily driven by an increase of $425,000 in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, and a $50,000 increase in Federal Home Loan Bank dividends, partially offset by a $48,000 decrease in service charge income, and a decrease of $110,000 in other income. The Company also realized $190,000 and $345,000 tax-free gains related to the collection of life insurance proceeds in 2016 and 2015, respectively, which are included in other non-interest income. In addition, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $136,000 during the year ended December 31, 2016.
Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased $2,906,000, or 8.07%, to $38,922,000 compared to $36,016,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015, primarily due to the SVB acquisition. The net increase year over year was a result of increases in acquisition and integration expenses of $1,782,000, increases in salaries and employee benefits of $1,045,000, increases in data processing expenses of $568,000, increases in directors'' expenses of $91,000, increases in ATM/Debit card expenses of $85,000, increases in occupancy and equipment expenses of $85,000, and increases in license and maintenance contracts of $11,000, partially offset by decreases in regulatory assessments of $417,000, decreases in professional services of $246,000, decrease in amortization of core deposit intangibles of $171,000, decreases in advertising expenses of $32,000, and a decrease in Internet banking expenses of $31,000.
The Company recorded an income tax provision of $6,917,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $2,582,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2016 was 31.30% compared to 19.06% for the year ended December 31, 2015. The effective tax rate in 2016 was affected by the large negative provision for credit losses which resulted in higher pretax income and also diluted the impact of the Company''s tax exempt municipal bonds and other tax planning strategies.
Quarter Ended December 31, 2016
For the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Company reported unaudited consolidated net income of $2,606,000 and earnings per diluted common share of $0.21, compared to consolidated net income of $2,903,000 and $0.26 per diluted share for the same period in 2015. The decrease in net income during the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 is primarily due to an increase in non-interest expenses of $1.9 million, as well as an increase in the provision for income taxes of $881,000, and offset by an increase in net interest income of $2.1 million. The effective tax rate increased to 36.41% from 17.39% for the quarters ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company recorded no provision for credit losses during the fourth quarters of 2016 or 2015.
Annualized return on average equity (ROE) for the fourth quarter of 2016 was 6.19%, compared to 8.42% for the same period of 2015. The decrease in ROE reflects a decrease in net income, as well as an increase in shareholders'' equity. Annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 0.72% for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to 0.92% for the same period in 2015. This decrease is due to a decrease in net income and an increase in average assets.
In comparing the fourth quarter of 2016 to the fourth quarter of 2015, average total loans increased by $156,501,000, or 26.57%. The majority of the loan growth was due to the SVB acquisition. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recorded net loan recoveries of $27,000 compared to $517,000 for the same period in 2015. The net charge-off (recovery) ratio, which reflects annualized net charge-offs to average loans, was (0.01)% for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 compared to (0.35)% for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.

The net interest margin period-to-period comparisons showed an increase in the yield on the average investment securities, partially offset by a slight decrease in the yield on the loan portfolio, and an increase in the Company''s cost of funds. Over the same periods, the cost of total deposits increased slightly to 0.09% as compared to 0.08% for 2015.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Company''s average investment securities, including interest-earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, increased by $17,709,000, or 3.12%, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2015, and increased by $24,422,000, or 4.36%, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

The increase compared to the trailing quarter is primarily due to a $206,000 increase in Federal Home Loan Bank dividends, a $52,000 increase in service charges, and a $74,000 increase in other income, partially offset by a $202,000 decrease in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities.

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 increased by $1,258,000 compared to $9,655,000 for the trailing quarter ended September 30, 2016. The increase, as compared to the trailing quarter, is primarily due to a $904,000 increase in acquisition and integration expenses, and increases of $119,000 and $39,000 in occupancy and regulatory assessment expenses, respectively; partially offset by a $107,000 decrease in directors'' expenses.
The Company recorded an income tax provision of $1,492,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared to $611,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 was 36.41% compared to 17.39% for the same period in 2015. The increased rate in 2016 was primarily as a result of higher pretax income for the year which diluted the effect of tax planning strategies.
